A World Worth Protecting

As the will within the Eye of the Eternal Star exploded forth, Wang Baole’s body shook violently. Because his Divine Sense didn’t leave and was still connected with its will, the desire of the Demonic Eye Art in his body that he unleashed became a small hand and rapidly grabbed the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons, seemingly stealing something from it. At that moment, a large amount of information popped into Wang Baole’s head out of nowhere. His body trembled, and his head was about to explode!

If it was someone else, they would most likely be dead at this moment. Luckily, Wang Baole’s avatar was special and immediately turned into fog in the next moment, spreading out before gathering once again. Using this cycle, Wang Baole barely withstood this violent power.

After withstanding the power, Wang Baole’s body formed once again. Although his seven orifices were bleeding, disbelief and extreme joy appeared in his eyes.

This is… Wang Baole’s soul trembled, and his body shuddered. In his memories, he actually discovered a part of the continuation of the cultivation techniques of the Demonic Eye Art!

These weren’t Nascent Soul realm cultivation techniques, they were Soul Conduit realm cultivation techniques!

Or more precisely, the cultivation techniques that entered his head weren’t the Demonic Eye Art, they were the Divine Eye Art!

Although there was only a small portion and not the entire thing, with Wang Baole’s familiarity with and understanding of the Demonic Eye Art, he could almost judge immediately that this cultivation technique wasn’t fake—it was the continuation divine power that he really desired!

Although learning it directly was somewhat inappropriate, given some time, he could incorporate the Dark Art with this small portion of the Divine Eye Art and change it into the Demonic Eye Art suitable for himself!

This huge gift arrived too suddenly, and even Wang Baole himself was shocked. Afterwards, fanaticism appeared in his eyes. Not caring about his current state, he dispersed his Divine Sense again and tried to continue obtaining information.

But, obviously, this wasn’t as easy as Wang Baole expected it to be. No matter how he tried afterward, while he would obtain some information every time, the information always overlapped with the previously obtained portion. Hence, Wang Baole didn’t obtain any new information.

It seemed that if Wang Baole wanted to obtain more information, he would have to establish a stronger connection between his Divine Sense and the will. Yet… while Wang Baole had this thought, he couldn’t carry it out.

He could obviously feel that the connection between his Divine Sense and the Eye of the Eternal Star’s will was a weak one. He wanted to establish a stronger connection, but some barriers that were difficult to break through existed, making it hard for him to obtain more information.

Wang Baole tried again and again until the Eye of the Eternal Star slowly disappeared, and the will within it dissipated once again. When the Eternal Star returned to normal, Wang Baole couldn’t help but sigh. He stood there and pondered. After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the Holy Crest Sect Legion’s identity token in his hand. His eyes glowed, and after analyzing the situation, he came to an answer he himself wasn’t completely certain of.

Is there a possibility… that this Eye of Ten Thousand Demons is actually a heritage, but not everyone can obtain it. Only cultivators that have learned cultivation techniques from the same source can obtain it!

So, others can’t obtain it, but I can… If this guess is valid, then even if one has the right, they must fulfill different requirements to obtain different portions at different levels… If this is truly the case, it could more or less explain why I only obtained a small portion. Is it because my mandate is insufficient? Wang Baole looked at the Holy Crest Sect Legion’s identity token in his hand once again and was deep in thought.

To be exact, the connection I established with the Eye of the Eternal Star’s will was a weak one or only at the outer boundary. When I wanted to establish a stronger connection, I was blocked.

Is it because the Holy Crest Sect Legion’s rights are insufficient? Wang Baole thought for a while and put away the identity token. He needed to find a way to verify this. It was obviously not the appropriate time to do that now. The most important thing that lay in front of him was to pull off a great coup!

Ink Dragon Legion, just you wait! A glimmer appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. After he felt the aura of the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons only he could notice, he immediately retreated and left the Eternal Star with a flick of his body.

Using his essence technique to change his appearance, Wang Baole traveled freely in the Divine Eye civilization. As he looked for an opportunity, he also contacted De Kunzi and made him keep an eye out for traces of the Ink Dragon Legion. Just like that, after half a month, he had a clear idea of the Ink Dragon Legion’s movements after combining what he knew with the information from De Kunzi.

After making me wanted throughout the Divine Eye civilization, they go out to hunt? Wang Baole sat on a meteorite, looking at the distant cosmos as a cold glint appeared in his eyes. After gathering information during this period of time, he knew that before robbing him, the Ink Dragon Legion had suffered heavy losses in outer space, so when they returned, they were both angry and depressed.

But that’s no reason to rob me! Wang Baole humphed. After gathering information from many sources, he found a path that the Ink Dragon Legion had to take when they were returning home, and that was exactly where he was currently at. He decided to make the Ink Dragon Legion know who was boss right there.

With that thought, Wang Baole started checking the equipment in his storage bag. When he ascertained that there were no issues, his body slowly turned to mist, seemingly fusing with the meteorite. He left no trace or aura and started waiting silently.

As Wang Baole waited, time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Wang Baole was very patient. Even though the Ink Dragon Legion never arrived in this half a month, he still waited there and didn’t move.

This continued until another month passed, and waves of minor disturbances spread from the far reaches of the cosmos. The mist on the meteorite suddenly shrunk, and within it, a pair of sharp eyes that one could faintly make out gathered.

Are they here… While Wang Baole muttered in his heart, in the cosmos not far away from him, the army formed by hundreds of giant battleships was heading straight towards him.

Any ship in this fleet was far bigger and more majestic than the Holy Crest Sect’s battleships. That was especially so because they all looked like octopuses. Every one of them was a biological battleship, so those who looked from afar and didn’t understand the situation would instinctively think they saw a cosmos herd.

That was especially so because there were more than ten biological battleships in the fleet that were completely purple. They were larger, and the suppressive force they dispersed was much stronger than that of the other battleships. They were akin to the leaders of the herd.

Even though these biological battleships seemed to have sustained different levels of damage and seemed to have gone through a tough battle, they also seemed to contain intense excitement from their aura alone.

Every biological battleship’s speed was extremely fast, and they sped through the Divine Eye civilization. Wherever they went, the aura of excitement seemed to be able to sweep away all obstacles, and at this moment, they were getting closer and closer to the meteorite Wang Baole was on!

Wang Baole didn’t move, instead, observing the battleships closely while a weird glint flashed between his eyes. The aura that the purple battleships spread was at the Soul Conduit realm, but after searching for quite some time, he couldn’t find the Dharmic Battleship of the Ink Dragon Legion commander or feel the aura of a Spirit Immortal.

This confused him.

Could she not be here? Or is she hiding in another battleship? But according to logic, she shouldn’t be able to guess my thoughts… As Wang Baole pondered, the Ink Dragon Legion’s battleships had already reached the meteorite he was on. They obviously didn’t notice anything wrong with this meteorite. At this moment, a large number of battleships had already whizzed past it.

Seeing that almost all of the Ink Dragon Legion’s battleships were about to whizz past him, Wang Baole had no time to think. He had already reached a point of no return!

So be it! It’s better if she’s not here! Thinking up to this point, Wang Baole stopped hesitating. As the mist turned, the meteorite it was on suddenly self-destructed!

Rumbles immediately spread through the surroundings, and countless pieces of broken rock shot outwards and dispersed among the Ink Dragon Legion. As the Ink Dragon Legion reacted, Wang Baole’s body transmogrified from within the mist. He raised his right hand and swept it down violently. Immediately, hundreds of self-destructing battleships controlled by puppets appeared among the Ink Dragon Legion!

“Explode!” Wang Baole roared, and the hundreds of self-destructing battleships crashed towards the surrounding Ink Dragon Legion like a bunch of mad dogs!

It was best if they crashed into the Ink Dragon Legion. If not, they exploded at close range. The self-destruction of hundreds of battleships, coupled with the fact that their power stacked and it was a surprise attack, caught the Ink Dragon Legion completely off guard. So their self-destruction, under the heaven-shaking rumble, seemed to make a direct hit on the Ink Dragon Legion in a single moment.

A huge rumble immediately spread throughout the cosmos!
