š Chapter 955 - My Surname is Also Wang!
With those words, that aura which didnāt belong to the Never-Ending Dao Domain shuttled through the void, traversed the starry sky, entered the Starfall Realm, and pierced deep into the black paper sea. Finally, it arrived in front of Wang Baole and suddenly turned into a small vortex!
This vortex... was only one meter wide. However, it was unimaginably bright. As soon as it appeared, the entire black paper sea, no, the entire Starfall Realm seemed to be thrust into high noon!
Although the vortex wasnāt large, it seemed like the source of all light, and the whole world lost all darkness in its presence. At the same time, in the depths of the vortex, there seemed to be a passage to another world. Looking carefully, it could be seen that the vague world in the vortex was completely full of brilliant colors!
And from this vortex ceaselessly came a mighty aura that didnāt belong to the Never-Ending Dao Domain. Every single being in the Starfall Realm instantly felt its mind go blank, regardless of cultivation level. Even that strange paper human cutout beside Wang Baole was no exception.
It wasnāt that it didnāt want to resist, but the gap between the paper human cutout and that aura was just too big, like the difference between heaven and earth. Under this aura, the paper human cutout didnāt even have the chance to think of resisting before its mind blanked out.
There was also the paper human cutout with the red line between its brows that had come to investigate what was happening in the black paper sea. Previously, Wang Baole had estimated that it was in the same realm as his senior brother and the Flame Patriarch, although it was clearly a bit weaker than them. At that moment, the red-lined paper human cutoutās consciousness was instantly suppressed by the foreign aura, causing it to fall still above the black paper sea.
With even those two supreme paper human cutouts like this, the rest of the paper human cutouts had even less of a chance at resistance. All of them immediately blanked out, as well as every other living thing in the Starfall Realm. The only exception wasā¦ Wang Baole. He alone remained conscious!
Howeverā¦ although he didnāt lapse into unconsciousness, Wang Baoleās mind was roaring. He discovered that he couldnāt move his body, and furthermore, that final lineā¦ hadnāt been him speaking!
To be precise, although the words came from his mouth, the voiceā¦ wasnāt his!
Wang Baoleās heart instantly leaped in his chest. He realized that things were going very wrong!
āItās over, itās overā¦ He woke upā¦ā
If it were any other time, Wang Baole would definitely spend some time wailing in lamentation. But right now, he had no time to do such a thing. That was becauseā¦ although every living thing had fallen unconscious, there was still a non-living thing there that wasnāt affected. With a ferocious and mad roar, the ghostly face formed from black qi charged toward Wang Baole.
As it approached him crazily, the ghostly face opened its mouth wide as if to swallow him in a single bite. But as soon as it closed in, with the small vortexās appearance and the consciousness of all living things in the Starfall Realm grinding to a haltā¦ From within the small vortex came a cold snort.
This cold snort was like the reverberation of the Dao. In an instant, the entire Starfall Realm rumbled, and Wang Baoleās mind reeled. But the ghostly face, which bore the brunt of that noise, immediately exploded with a miserable scream, turning into countless strands of black qi that seemed on the verge of dissipation.
But at that momentā¦ the mirror seal suddenly shone. Roars came from within the cracks, and an endless amount of black qi surged out. Looking closely, it could even be seen that just beneath the surface of the mirrorā¦ there was actually a huge face struggling to poke out!!
The mirror seal was like a thin membrane, and the protruding face seemed to represent a boundless evil trying to escape the seal. With its roars, more and more cracks opened on the mirror, and more and more black qi surged out. In fact, even the black qi from the ghost face that was dispersing in the surroundings tumbled backward toward the seal, as if it was trying to break out by attacking from both inside and outside.
But unfortunately, this unknown being would never have that chance. Just as its face caused the mirror seal to bulge out and its roars reverberated through the black paper seaā¦ a finger that seemed to be formed by starlight suddenly descended!
This finger came from within the small vortex, as if that existence outside the Never-Ending Dao Domain was using the vortex as a passage. As soon as it appeared, it descended upon the mirror seal!
As it fell, an indescribable aura seemed to replace the will of heaven. The roars of the face beneath the seal turned into terrified screams, and all the black qi instantly turned to nothing. All of this takes some time to describe, but in fact, it happened in an instant. The next momentā¦ that finger formed from starlight gently pressed against the forehead of the face bulging out from the seal. Immediately, the face withered and its scream turned from one of misery to one of total despair. It wanted to resist, but against that finger, all resistance was futile!
After holding on for three breaths of time, the protruding face suddenly collapsed. The mirror seal flattened out, and the cracks on it recovered at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The finger that came from the vortex slowly dissipated, scattering into specks of starlight and returning back to whence it came. Everything seemed to be coming to an end. Howeverā¦ the surface of the mirror seal, which was almost fully free of cracks already, suddenly fluctuated.
These fluctuations were like ripples spreading rapidly across the surface of the mirror seal, causing it to become transparent and finally revealingā¦ a dark abyss leading to an unknown location. Furthermore, coming from the depths of that abyss, there was actuallyā¦ a figure walking over step by step!
As soon as this figure appeared, the specks of starlight that were disappearing into the vortex suddenly halted. After a moment, they fused back together to form a pair of calm eyes that stared at that figure beneath the mirror seal.
āWait!ā A faint voice rang out from the vortex. When it fell into Wang Baoleās ears, his whole body trembled.
The figure beneath the seal also paused at the edge of the mirror. It looked up, gazing upon the world outside the mirror seal.
Its gaze first turned to Wang Baole, then to that one-meter-wide vortex. In the end, the eyes of the figure beneath the seal met the eyes formed by starlight in front of the vortex.
The figure beneath the seal came from a pitch-black abyss, but Wang Baole could see its appearance clearly. It was a young man with purple hair, the same color as the long robe he was wearing on his tall and slender body. Surrounding his body wereā¦ nine lamps emitting ghostly flames.
There was also an icy chill and baleful aura emanating from his body that couldnāt be contained. This baleful aura was the most terrifying that Wang Baole had seen in his entire life. Even Senior Brother Chen Qingzi was far, far inferior!
Moreoverā¦ that figureās right hand seemed to be casually grasping a trembling old manās neck. That old manā¦ seemed to be the face that had tried to escape the seal just now!
āInteresting. I chased De Luozi for three months, slaughtering millions of his clones, but I never thought that at some point, his true self had set up a passageway to a foreign domain!
āAnd even more interestingā¦ In this foreign domain, there is actually a Fellow Daoist of the same kind as me!ā
These words werenāt spoken, which would require common language, but rather spread by divine will. Thanks to that, Wang Baole was able to understand them, and his body trembled violently. He had a feeling thatā¦ maybe the seal could restrict that De Luozi, but to this newcomer, it was something that could be crossed in a single step.
Fortunately, the purple-haired young man had no intention of crossing over. He just stared into the eyes that came from the vortex, then turned around. Gripping the old manās neck in his hand, he walked away step by step. However, a faint voice came from the direction of his receding back.
"My surname is Xu."
"My surname is Wang." What responded to him was a cold voice from the vortex.
As those two voices echoed, the purple-haired figure gradually disappeared, and the mirror seal returned to normal. The cracks on it had vanished completely, and the entire Starfall Realm seemed to change. From its previous state of gradual decline, there was now a feeling of flourishing vitality.
As for the one-meter-wide vortex in front of Wang Baole, it slowly shrank until it disappeared completely. No more words came out of it, but the moment before it completely disappeared, Wang Baole suddenly felt that the existence which claimed to be surnamed Wang seemed to haveā¦ glanced at him!
"My surname is also Wang..." With that glance, Wang Baoleās heart trembled, and he instinctively muttered a few words.
