đ Chapter 984 - Killing His Way Through the Federation!
Wang Baoleâs father wasnât clear on the details. Nothing he had told Wang Baole was a secret; instead, most of it was known to basically everyone in the Federation.
After hearing his fatherâs words, the rage in Wang Baoleâs heart could hardly be contained. When he had noticed the changes on the ancient bronze sword earlier, he originally didnât plan to make a move immediately, but now his plans had completely changed.
âAnd the Five Generation Sky Clan⌠Zhuo Family, how bold of you!â Wang Baoleâs emotions caused Mars to tremble once again. The cultivators on the planet had no idea what was happening, causing shock and worry to appear in their hearts.
Suddenly looking at his fatherâs white hairs, Wang Baole lifted his hand and the power of his essence invisibly entered his fatherâs body. In an instant, the wrinkles on his fatherâs face disappeared, and his hair recovered its natural color. Then Wang Baole did the same to his sleeping mother, taking even more care with her. Her hair also recovered its black sheen, and whether it was her appearance or her demeanor, everything underwent a visible change.
The people of the Federation were unable to heal her wounds and could only use techniques to forcibly prolong her life. However, to Wang Baole, this was nothing difficult; he just had to expend a little bit of his essence.
Wang Baole was very clear that he couldnât allow his parents to live forever, but he could at least let them remain healthy until they reached the ends of their lifespans. As for whether or not he would be able to extend their lives when the time came, Wang Baole didnât know, nor did he want to think about it.
Right now, all he cared about was that his parents were healthy. At the same time, the Zhuo Family and the Five Generation Sky Clan, who had almost killed his parents, had already become walking corpses in his eyes.
Wang Baoleâs clone created another doppelganger to remain here and accompany his parents. Then, the clone disappeared from the house, and when he reappeared⌠he was inside a secret chamber deep underground located below the main city of Mars.
There was an old man sitting cross-legged within this secret chamber. This old man was skin and bones and had a pale complexion. His expression was filled with fatigue, and there was a bulge on his neck. There seemed to be some organism wriggling around inside, and every time it moved, the old manâs expression would twist in agony.
This old man⌠was none other than the Ethereal Dao Collegeâs Supreme Elder, Li Xingwen!
Li Xingwen didnât notice Wang Baole appear. At that moment, all his attention was focused on suppressing his injury. This injury had been with him for many years already, and he had to spend a certain amount of time suppressing it each and every day. This was the only way for him to barely survive.
He wasnât afraid of dying, but he was unwilling to die in vain. Thus, although the injury caused him endless agony, he still persisted on, because he knew that he was the pillar of hope for everyone on Mars!
Another day he remained alive was another day Mars had hope. Once he died, whether it was the Head Senator, the Martian Governor, or the other mighty figures of their generation, all of them would lose hope.
After all, Li Xingwen was the president who broke open the Spirit Inception Era, and along with his successor Duanmu Que, heâd pushed the Federation to unprecedented heights. Compared to his cultivation base, his prestige was even more important.
Duanmu Queâs death, the countless serious injuries, and Feng Qiuranâs detainment all made Li Xingwenâs burden grow even heavier. Even so, he regularly went to treat Wang Baoleâs mother. It wasnât that he knew about Wang Baole breaking through to the Planet Realm, but because whether it was Wang Baole or the other members of Project Dark Swallow, all of them were the Federationâs greatest hope.
Looking at Li Xingwenâs pained expression, Wang Baoleâs gaze became filled with respect and gratitude. Guilt appeared in his heart once more, and he instantly pointed at the bulge on Li Xingwenâs neck.
The bulge instantly trembled, and there seemed to be a pleading wail from within. A moment later, the bulge shattered, and a black threadworm swiftly flew out. It seemed to want to leave, but as soon as Wang Baoleâs gaze landed on it, it froze. Then⌠it scattered into ash.
Li Xingwenâs body suddenly shook, and he opened his eyes with a dazed expression. When he saw Wang Baole in front of him, his expression suddenly changed. However, after taking a closer look, his face became filled with excitement and disbelief.
"Baole?"
âThis disciple greets the Supreme Elder!â Wang Baole cupped his fists and bowed deeply. At the same time, he sent his essence power into Li Xingwenâs body, instantly healing his wounds. After a few breaths of time, Li Xingwenâs emaciated body returned to normal, and his cultivation base exploded outward. He was no longer a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, but rather someone in the Soul Conduit Realm!
This wasnât because of Wang Baoleâs help. As the pioneer of Earthâs Spirit Inception Era, Li Xingwen was naturally extremely talented. Although advancing further was extremely difficult due the level of the solar systemâs civilization, after Wang Baole left, Li Xingwen relied on himself to eventually break through to the Soul Conduit Realm.
âItâs good that youâre back, itâs good that youâre back!â Li Xingwen didnât care about his sudden recovery at all. With a delighted gaze, he carefully looked Wang Baole up and down. This made Wang Baole feel even more guilt, and he thought to himself that he had come back too lateâŚ
If he had returned earlier, things may not have turned out like this. After they exchanged greetings, Wang Baole immediately asked Li Xingwen about the details of the changes on Earth.
After Li Xingwenâs explanation, Wang Baole finally had a detailed understanding of what had happened to Earth while he was gone!
For the solar system and the Federation⌠the Planet Realm cultivator who awakened on the ancient bronze sword was a terrifying existence, one that could be compared to a god. If that person wanted to erase the Federation from the starry sky, he could do so with the greatest of ease.
Moreover, although he didnât immediately destroy the Federation, that person wasnât a moderate like Feng Qiuran. Instead, he advocated making use of the solar system to restore the Vast Expanse Dao Palaceâs glory. Thus, he was extremely dissatisfied with the alliance of equals that Feng Qiuran had implemented.
After leaving the tip of the ancient bronze sword, he captured Feng Qiuran and some other Vast Expanse Dao Palace disciples and locked them away. He also seized Feng Qiuranâs authority, so the disciples of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace had no choice but to obey him.
He even personally attacked and killed Duanmu Que as a show of force. However, he hadnât fully recovered from his injuries, so he propped up the Five Generation Sky Clan, who had voluntarily surrendered. Thus, the Five Generation Sky Clan became the new rulers of the Federation. But in reality, they were just the puppets of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and carried out that personâs will.
The Five Generations Sky Clan was already very dissatisfied with Duanmu Que and Li Xingwen, so with the support of that Planet Realm Almighty, they instantly started a bloodbath!
The Tri-Lunar Corporation was directly plundered, the Jin Familyâs ancestor was killed, and the four great Dao Colleges were all destroyed. Aside from the Ethereal Dao Collegeâs students, of whom a majority were able to relocate to Mars, the students of the rest of the three Dao Colleges were almost all wiped out.
There was also the Senate Council, of whom nine were killed in battle and the rest either surrendered or fled to Mars. Among them, the Head Senator was heavily injured and his cultivation base fell to the point where he was now no different from a mortal.
As for Lin You, he rose to prominence in this battle. His cultivation base suddenly broke through to the Soul Conduit Realm, and he cooperated with the Martian Colony Governor and Li Xingwen to relocate to Mars.
Moreover, the planetsources of Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus were all extracted by the Vast Expanse Dao Palace to use for healing. As for the Sun, the solar systemâs Eternal Star, the Five Generation Sky Clan arranged a number of spell formations at the Planet Realm Almightyâs behest, causing it to turn into nourishment for the Vast Expanse Dao Palaceâs recovery.
As for Mars, the people who fled there should have been helpless against the Planet Realm Almighty that was supporting the Five Generation Sky Clan. However, when that Planet Realm Almighty was about to make a move, some fluctuations broke out from Mars that seemed to make the enemy wary. Thus, Mars was barely able to hold on until now.
âThe Underworld ArtifactâŚâ Wang Baole muttered. As he listened, the chilly light in his eyes grew colder and colder.
âI guessed the same thing. Well, thatâs what happened. Baole, todayâs Federation⌠is already like this. What are you planning to do?â A bright glow appeared in Li Xingwenâs eyes as he spoke. He had already noticed that Wang Baoleâs cultivation base had risen to an unfathomable level. In fact, it seemed even stronger than the Vast Expanse Dao Palaceâs Planet Realm cultivator.
âWhat am I planning to doâŚ?â Killing intent flashed in Wang Baoleâs eyes.
âIâll punish everybody one by one. Those who commit wrongdoings must pay the price. The pain caused to my family and friends must be repaid in blood. As for the Vast Expanse Dao Palace whoâs freeloading off my solar system⌠if they donât want to pay rent, thatâs fine. But since they dare to do something like this, this landlord here will let them feel my anger!â As Wang Baole spoke calmly, he also muttered some words in his heart toward Little Missy inside the mask.
âLittle Missy, the Vast Expanse Dao Palace is in the wrong here, so you canât blame me.â
Then, Wang Baole took a step forward and disappeared from Mars in an instant. When he reappeared⌠he was standing in the starry sky right above Earth!
Killing intent surged around him as he moved toward Earth step by step!
