đź“– Chapter 992 - Not Qualified!
“You overestimate yourself!” Killing intent flashed in the boy’s eyes, and he instantly burst out with all the power he could muster.
Rumbles spread as the two sides met. The nine Ancient Planets behind Wang Baole all shuddered, and even the illusory Dao Planet seemed to tremble. Wang Baole himself seemed to be drowned in an illusory sea of flames. This was the power of an Eternal Star. Even if the boy had heavy injuries and his cultivation base was already weakened by over 90%… he was still a cultivator of the Eternal Star Realm!
Thus, as he unleashed his divine ability, the fire of an Eternal Star manifested itself in both an ethereal and corporeal manner; not only did it affect Wang Baole’s mind and the Planets behind him, it also suffused his fleshly body. Evidently, the boy was hoping to incinerate Wang Baole in both body and soul.
Although the nine Ancient Planets instantly shuddered, the illusory Dao Planet formed from them didn’t seem to be too affected by the Eternal Star’s fire. But Wang Baole was still only a Planet Realm cultivator, after all; soon, his fleshly body showed signs of being unable to bear the flames.
However… since Wang Baole dared to come, he naturally had his own confidence. Although his fleshly body seemed to be burning up, his eyes were still extremely calm. His right index finger continued to press down fiercely without regard for anything else!
A moment later, the sword qi circulating on his fingertip was about to burst out completely. But at the same time, his fleshly body seemed to have reached its limit. All the pores of his body were leaking black impurities, as if the high temperature was cooking him thoroughly. It was obvious that the heat would soon exceed what he could handle, at which point his body would be incinerated…
But at that moment, a sea of flames suddenly appeared from his body. To be precise, this sea of flames didn’t come from within Wang Baole’s body, but rather appeared out of thin air. When the new sea of flames engulfed him, it didn’t cause any harm, instead giving him a warm and nourishing feeling.
It also formed a protective barrier that instantly radiated outward. The moment it touched the flames of the boy’s Eternal Star, rumbling echoed out. The boy’s Eternal Star fire was unable to resist at all and was instantly devoured by the flames that had appeared around Wang Baole’s body. After devouring the fire of an Eternal Star, the sea of flames seemed to have received some kind of nourishment, causing it to rapidly expand outward. From a distance, Wang Baole seemed like the god of fire!
This was his trump card, and also the reason he dared to attack the ancient bronze sword on his own!
This sea of flames… was from the Flame Patriarch!
Although the Flame Patriarch had left back in the Divine Eye Civilization’s galaxy, he still left a sea of flames behind to lock everything down. After Wang Baole handles things in the Divine Eye Civilization, the sea of flames seemed to disappear, but Wang Baole could clearly feel that it had entered his soul. He also understood that the sea of flames would serve as his protection and appear once he encountered a life and death crisis!
It could be said that this was a gift from the Flame Patriarch, a gift from his master!
With this gift, even if the boyish Eternal Star Realm cultivator wasn’t seriously injured and was instead at full strength, he still wouldn’t be able to do anything to Wang Baole. However, the Flame Patriarch knew that he shouldn’t allow his disciple to become too dependent on this gift, so the sea of flames was solely for protection and carried no offensive power.
But this was already enough. As the sea of flames spread out, the boyish Eternal Star Realm cultivator’s complexion changed drastically. He revealed an expression of utter disbelief, and his body suddenly moved to retreat from the altar. But at that moment, Wang Baole’s right index finger fell, and the strand of sword qi circulating around it erupted with heaven-shaking power!
This strand of sword qi came from the intrinsic scabbard contained in Wang Baole’s body, and its power was utterly astonishing. It could be said that, in terms of pure offensive power, it was one of Wang Baole’s strongest divine abilities!
Once the strand of sword qi landed on the boy’s body, although it wouldn’t be able to kill him, it could at least aggravate the original injuries left on his body. In that case, his many years of healing would instantly be undone.
And this was a result that the boy was absolutely unable to accept. Thus, a fierce expression appeared on his face, and he instantly bit the tip of his tongue. Spewing out a mouthful of blood, a mournful wail erupted from his mouth.
“Ancestor!!”
As soon as his voice rang out, a sigh echoed from the third altar behind him. A gust of wind appeared out of thin air, which instantly turned into a storm that blocked the sword qi whistling toward the boy. Although the strand of sword qi was powerful, it wasn’t able to hold up against this wind at all and instantly collapsed. The wind didn’t stop; after destroying the sword qi, it roared toward Wang Baole.
Wang Baole was unable to react in time, and almost instantly, the wind came into contact with the flame barrier outside his body. A boom rang out, and Wang Baole trembled wildly. He was instantly knocked back out of the fog. At the same time, a majestic voice containing an ancient aura rang out from the figure sitting on the third altar!
“Outsider, this seat doesn’t wish to see your face ever again. Begone!”
Even after being knocked outside the fog, Wang Baole’s body continued tumbling backward for hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop. Raising his head, he panted heavily and glanced at the second altar within the fog. After taking a breather, the boyish Eternal Star Realm cultivator glared at Wang Baole with eyes full of resentment and killing intent. However, Wang Baole suddenly looked at the third altar, endured the pain from staring at the figure seated there, and laughed.
Wang Baole’s laughter grew louder and louder, and his eyes suddenly shone with a cold light. His demeanor became ruthless and arrogant, and his voice rang out like thunder.
“Even if you’re a Star Domain Realm Almighty, you can’t be so unreasonable. Am I really an outsider?!”
As he spoke, Wang Baole activated his yellow law of flame, allowing him to draw on the power of the flames that the Flame Patriarch had left for him. Although he still wasn’t able to use the flames offensively, he could at least allow them to display their power more fully as a show of force.
As the flames spread, the Flame Patriarch’s aura contained within them was also released. The Vast Expanse Dao Palace’s Star Domain Realm Almighty sitting on the third altar slowly lifted his head. His face was blurry and couldn’t be seen clearly, but a lightning-like gaze shot out and landed on Wang Baole. After a moment of silence, that unfathomable figure slowly opened his mouth.
“The Flame Patriarch’s aura… But even if the Flame Patriarch were here in person, he wouldn’t be able to do a thing to my Vast Expanse Dao Palace’s ancient universe sword!
"So, begone!"
When Wang Baole heard that, he raised his eyebrows.
“Ancient universe sword? I don’t know if my master can do anything about it, but… do you think I can’t?” Wang Baole activated the intrinsic scabbard in his body without reservation. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet rumbled, and as the scabbard vibrated, the entire ancient bronze sword shook!
The Star Domain Realm Almighty’s pupils contracted. They fell silent for a while before speaking again.
“What do you want?”
“I won’t insist on killing this person. But at the very least, he must be severely injured and forced to slumber for another thousand years as punishment for messing with my solar system’s Federation!” Wang Baole said sharply, pointing a finger at the pale Eternal Star Realm cultivator.
“You’re not qualified. This old man will say it one last time. Begone!” There was a moment of silence, as if the other party was thinking things through. But in the end, that aged voice responded in a chilly tone.
“Qualified?” As he activated the scabbard, Wang Baole suddenly raised his right hand and took out the mysterious mask.
“Is Little Missy qualified?”
The illusory figure of Little Missy appeared from the mask and stood beside Wang Baole. After sighing lightly, Little Missy bowed to the Star Domain Realm Almighty, whose expression suddenly changed drastically.
“Junior greets Reverend Star Wings.”
The Star Domain Realm Almighty on the third altar fell silent again.
“If that’s not enough…” Wang Baole’s expression became even more arrogant. He absolutely had to show his might to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace today. If not, they would definitely cause some problems in the solar system sooner or later. Thus, a decisive light flashed through his eyes, and he suddenly pointed outside the ancient sword, to the place where Mars was located!
“Underworld Artifact… return!”
As soon as Wang Baole’s voice rang out, the distant Mars suddenly trembled. A terrifying power erupted from the core of the planet, shooting straight into the starry sky!
There was also a sound of cheering that seemed to be responding to Wang Baole’s summons, echoing throughout the solar system!
