📖 Chapter 987 - Is That It?

01 Jun, 2023

By the time the old man appeared, the scene of Wang Baole annihilating the Five Generation Sky Clan had already spread to the various planets through the solar system’s great spell formation.

The cultivators on all the planets of the solar system felt like they were watching a live broadcast, one that they’d been dreaming of seeing for years!

The people of Earth had long been tired of the new regime. Under the rule of the Five Generation Sky Clan, the entire Federation seemed to have become slaves, forced to dedicate everything they had to the recovery of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.

Since the Dao Colleges had been destroyed, people were no longer free to seek knowledge. They were unable to obtain cultivation techniques, and everyone’s cultivation speed ground to a halt. But worst of all, when the Five Generation Sky Clan took over, they passed down the order for everyone to hand over a huge amount of spirit stones.

Those who failed to comply would be subjected to extremely cruel punishment!

This sort of slavish life weighed down like a boulder on everyone’s hearts. If it continued, the Federation would eventually be completely squeezed dry. To some extent, it could be said that the recovery of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace was bought with the lives of the people of the Federation!

Thus, after seeing Wang Baole return and destroy the Five Generation Sky Clan, excitement immediately spread throughout the entire solar system. On Mars, the Martian Colony Governor and the others had already learned of Wang Baole’s return from Li Xingwen, and fervent gazes appeared in their eyes as they watched all this.

However, they were also worried and anxious. When the Planet Realm old man appeared, their anxiety reached its peak.

Wang Baole, standing above the Five Generation Sky City, raised his head and looked at the old man walking over. He sensed that the old man was in the middle stage of the Planet Realm, and his Planet was a Spirit Planet.

“Are you the reason the Five Generation Sky Clan dared to run rampant?” Wang Baole said coldly. With the superior quintessence of his Dao Planet, nothing about the other party could be hidden at all. On the other hand, in the old man’s eyes, Wang Baole’s existence was blurry.

This was also why the old man didn’t reveal himself earlier. He could only sense that Wang Baole was in the Planet Realm, but he couldn’t tell the details. Thus, he didn’t dare to act rashly. He had wanted to analyze Wang Baole’s abilities before making a decision.

But as a Planet Realm Almighty, the old man naturally had a certain degree of confidence. Although he was wary, now that he had already been exposed, he directly spoke in a threatening tone.

On the one hand, the old man was confident in his own cultivation base. On the other, he also had the ancient bronze sword to rely on. Moreover, he held an innate disdain for these aboriginals of the solar system, so in the face of Wang Baole’s question, the old man gave a cold snort.

“Youngster, this old man is the Vast Expanse Dao Palace’s De Yunzi. You must be a newly-advanced Planet Realm cultivator. You’ve been unable to turn your essence, qi, and spirit into true cultivation power yet, and so your body remains in a blurred, half-illusory state. I’ve seen too many Planet Realm cultivators like you throughout the years. Considering that it hasn’t been easy for you to reach this point, as long as you help me out here, I can recommend you to join the Vast Expanse Dao Palace as a guest elder.

“Now, are you going to overestimate yourself and fight me, or will you join my Vast Expanse Dao Palace? Choose!” After speaking, De Yunzi formed a hand seal with his right hand. Immediately, the five flying swords behind him shone with dazzling light. Five streaks of sword qi soared into the sky, converging into an illusory Planet above his head. The power of his Planet immediately spread out, turning into a heavy pressure that weighed down on the entire Earth.

De Yunzi had guessed that this aboriginal Planet Realm cultivator in front of him must have had some fortuitous encounters in order to break through. The grade of their Planet had surpassed his own, and it was probably at the level of an Immortal Planet. This made him turn green with envy, but he also snorted coldly in his heart.

‘This guy clearly can’t control his Immortal Planet. Otherwise, he wouldn’t look so blurry.’

The old man never considered the possibility that the person in front of him was just a clone. In his opinion, it was just as he’d said earlier – this aboriginal cultivator had just advanced recently, so their fleshly body and cultivation base were still unstable.

Even though this person likely had an Immortal Planet, De Yunzi was confident that he would win as long as he went all out. At the same time, he was pretty satisfied with his little speech.

‘Just because you’ve advanced to the Planet Realm doesn’t mean you can strut about in front of me like that!’

Moreover, because of this series of conclusions, his tone gradually became more and more forceful. As his words rang out, his cultivation base erupted and his five swords glimmered sharply. He was ready to strike at the slightest sign of disagreement.

However, Wang Baole didn’t show any change in his expression. His gaze was still cold as he looked at the old man in front of him and spoke.

“You think I’m arrogant?”

“Looks like you won’t cry until you see your coffin!” The old man raised his brows and suddenly chopped down toward Wang Baole.

As soon as his words rang out, the Planet formed from sword qi behind him lit up, and an invisible pressure descended from all directions. It was as if a huge, invisible hand was crushing down toward Wang Baole!

This attack carried not only the full power of a middle-stage Planet Realm cultivator, but also a little power borrowed from the ancient bronze sword. The Sun flickered slightly, and the power of the hand instantly skyrocketed. Rumbles broke out, and Earth shook. Even the void in the surroundings showed signs of shattering!

However…. To De Yunzi, this pressure should have been like a vast ocean, but to Wang Baole, it was nothing more than a gust of wind. It couldn’t even cause his hair to flutter, and his body didn’t move at all.

“You think I’m overestimating myself?” Wang Baole’s expression didn’t change, and he continued speaking indifferently.

This scene immediately caused De Yunzi’s eyes to fly wide open. However, he didn’t hesitate at all and quickly formed more hand seals. Letting out a low roar, the five flying swords behind him rose into the air, and the Planet behind him grew more solid. An even stronger suppressive force erupted from it and smashed down at Wang Baole again.

At the same time, the five flying swords turned into five beams of light that whistled straight toward Wang Baole!

With a boom, the suppressive force slammed into Wang Baole’s body. This time, it was much stronger than before, and finally caused Wang Baole’s hair to flutter a little. At the same time, the five flying swords neared in an instant, but when they were a single meter away from Wang Baole’s body, they suddenly trembled and dimmed rapidly.

Wang Baole held out his right hand, and the five flying swords instantly flew over, turning into five rings that automatically wrapped around Wang Baole’s fingers.

“Is that it?” Wang Baole asked coldly.

“Impossible!!” De Yunzi felt a boom go off in his mind, and his expression changed drastically. The scene in front of him was completely beyond his imagination, and his shock and disbelief reached a pinnacle. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but as soon as the old man’s body moved, a cold light flashed through Wang Baole’s eyes, and he took a step forward.

Wang Baole was so fast that De Yunzi couldn’t react at all. He appeared in front of the old man in an instant and let loose a heavy punch!

With that one punch, heaven and earth seemed to change places, and the wind and clouds exploded into nothingness. De Yunzi let out a miserable wail and coughed up blood wildly. With a bang, his body immediately collapsed!

Even the illusory Planet that he’d manifested outside his body wasn’t spared. When the old man’s body collapsed, the illusory Planet was also ripped apart and blasted to bits!

But just before his divine soul was destroyed, a beam of light shot over from the ancient bronze sword. The light wrapped around De Yunzi’s divine soul and dragged it back to the ancient bronze sword, allowing him to just barely survive this calamity.

“Want to escape? Your ancient bronze sword is still in my Federation’s territory.” Wang Baole said coldly. His body flickered as he moved to give chase!

While Wang Baole was chasing after De Yunzi, the people of the Federation who had been watching through the solar system’s great spell formation felt their minds rumble. After a moment of silence, they erupted with excitement and joy.

“Wang Baole!”

“The legend of the Ethereal Dao College, the greatest Head Prefect in history, Wang Baole!!”

“The Federation’s number one powerhouse, Wang Baole!!”
