A World Worth Protecting

One couldn’t help but say that although the right-hand elder reacted slightly slower just now, as he calmed down, his decisions and actions could be considered some of the most perfect solutions to the current situation.

When Wang Baole saw this, his expression turned extremely ugly. Obviously, the weak spot the left-hand elder exposed previously couldn’t possibly continue existing under the solar wind storm. However, he had no way to stop the right-hand elder’s actions. At this moment, killing intent spread from his body. All he could do now was to unleash his cultivation again and finally make the rifts on the rainbow bubble expand towards a wide area as his Dharmic Battleships exploded once again. The rifts expanded until cracking sounds were heard, and the bubble cracked!

The moment it cracked, Wang Baole’s body turned into mist and charged out along the cracks of the bubble surrounding him. After regathering in the outside world, he threw out more than 100 self-destructing Dharmic Battleships. While they all rumbled towards the direction of the right-hand elder, his body chose another direction to charge towards without any hesitation.

Now, there were only around 300 Dharmic Battleships left in Wang Baole’s storage bag. After escaping from the bubble, Wang Baole took out a large portion of them, threw them out, and made them self-destruct. But he didn’t do so to block the right-hand elder. That was because the self-destruction of over 100 Dharmic Battleships couldn’t really obstruct the right-hand elder.

Their real purpose… was to make the already messy Eternal Star aura and power of the sun even stronger and more violent. He wanted to make the Eternal Star, which was like a ferocious beast, even more angry, such that the right-hand elder wouldn’t be able to handle it!

This was the only method Wang Baole could think of!

Since the situation was disadvantageous to him, he decided to change the situation to become equally disadvantageous to both sides. That way… the situation could be resolved to a certain extent!

The right-hand elder was about to charge out, but his expression changed unwittingly again after seeing the battleships. A sense of gloominess appeared deep within his eyes as well. He felt gloomy not because of Wang Baole’s cultivation and combat strength, but because… he could come up with such a plan so quickly.

This meant that Long Nanzi, who was in front of him, was extremely intelligent. Meanwhile, he was also very vicious. If such an opponent stayed alive, he would definitely be a huge headache for everyone who offended him.

The killing intent in the right-hand elder’s heart grew more intense. He definitely couldn’t let such an opponent escape. If he did, once his cultivation reached the Planet realm, he would definitely become a future threat.

Thinking to that point, killing intent was also expressed in the right-hand elder’s eyes. Even though high heat spread around the Eternal Star, the storm affected him, and all he could see was light from flames, he still growled as he chased after Wang Baole!

At the same time, outside the Divine Eye civilization’s Eternal Star, on the battlefield of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, Violet Gold New Dao Sect, and Heavenly Spirit Sect, the battle had reached the most intense moment. But as they attacked, the suspicion in the Sovereign Patriarch’s heart increased infinitely. He felt suspicious… because the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder kept giving him an indescribable sense of familiarity.

As the battle between the Planet realms of both sides grew increasingly intense, it wasn’t only him who felt that way. The New Dao Patriarch fighting the right-hand elder felt that even more clearly.

So while the Sovereign Patriarch felt even more suspicious, the New Dao Patriarch retreated and growled while looking at the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

“You’re not the right-hand elder. Who the heck are you!”

The moment he spoke, the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord laughed.

“So he was noticed after all. But it’s too late!” As he spoke, the right-hand elder beside him raised his left hand and waved it over his face. Instantly, as light shone, his body changed visibly. In the next moment… the silhouette that appeared in front of everyone had completely changed!

That wasn’t the right-hand elder, but an expressionless old lady. There was a black maggot on her glabella, half of which was in her body. As it wriggled, it seemed to be controlling all the thoughts and actions of the old lady!

The moment the old lady appeared, the Sovereign Patriarch and New Dao Patriarch’s expressions changed completely. The former seemed to be unable to hide his anxiety, as though all his plans had a spanner thrown in the works. The latter screamed in shock.

“Fellow Daoist Wuyun!”

The old lady… was the Earth Hexagram Unity Sect’s matriarch. In the battle back then, the Earth Hexagram Unity Sect was obliterated, and it was rumored that she was missing after escaping. But the fact that she appeared now obviously showed that… she didn’t disappear, but was captured alive and refined like a puppet!

In reality, the Earth Hexagram Unity Sect’s old lady was originally not the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s trump card. After she was captured alive in the battle back then, the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord decided to seal her and send her back to the Violet Gold civilization’s mountain gate. He wanted to make use of the mountain gate’s array formation to refine her using a mystic technique and turn her into a Planet realm pill. That way, if he swallowed it, after a period of settling down, his cultivation could increase by a lot. If someone else swallowed it, there was a huge possibility for them to become a Planet realm cultivator.

Although such a method wasn’t the proper way and had many disadvantages, it would still give one the combat strength of a Planet realm.

It was just that… as the battle situation became disadvantageous for them, especially with the left-hand elder being heavily injured, the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord couldn’t take the old lady back to the mountain gate. Naturally, that meant he couldn’t use the mountain gate to refine her into a pill. Therefore, he had no choice but to wipe away her consciousness, refine her into a puppet, and use a mystic bug to control her, making her into a supplementary power.

According to his plan, he first changed the puppet’s appearance to become that of the right-hand elder. While it would mislead people, it would also numb the likes of Long Nanzi and the Sovereign Patriarch, causing them not to suspect anything and thereby enabling the plan to kill Long Nanzi to be successfully carried out. He just needed to kill Long Nanzi, and then He Yunzi would be able to get the complete Eternal Star mandate.

At that point, the activation of the Eternal Star’s teleportation would be fully under the control of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Besides that, he judged that because the left-hand and right-hand elders were personally involved in killing Long Nanzi and the rainbow bubble was activated, there would definitely not be any accidents. They also wouldn’t take too long. So, after the left-hand and right-hand elders finished killing him, they would be able to return in time to continue fighting.

And the moment they returned, the Heavenly Spirit Sect would have three and a half Planet realms attacking and would be able to suppress the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and Violet Gold New Dao Sect easily. In fact, once they were successful, the battle of the Divine Eye civilization could be ended early!

It was just that he calculated everything perfectly but still underestimated Wang Baole. He didn’t expect that an accident would still occur in the trap which involved the left-hand and right-hand elders and the rainbow bubble!

But he still didn’t know about everything that happened on the Eternal Star, so he was still very confident. The Sovereign Patriarch and New Dao Patriarch didn’t know either. So, as their souls trembled and their expressions turned ugly, they tried to retreat and didn’t wish to continue fighting.

Obviously, they believed that even though Wang Baole’s combat strength was almost on par with that of a Planet realm, it was almost impossible for him to escape successfully and not die after being tricked and landing himself in a passive situation!

As the battle there was stalemated, on the Eternal Star, Wang Baole unleashed his full speed as he turned into a long rainbow and looked for a special area to leave through. But the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder behind him also unleashed his speed and gave chase. Furthermore, the right-hand elder was a Planet realm and had a slight advantage in terms of speed. Even though heat waves were rolling on the Eternal Star and the storm would rumble towards him occasionally, it affected him slightly less than Wang Baole.

Because of that, one could visibly see his silhouette getting closer and closer to Wang Baole. When he was less than a thousand feet away from Wang Baole, a cold glimmer flashed between the right-hand elder’s eyes as he weaved hand seals and raised his right hand to point at Wang Baole’s back.

Under the point, wisps of red mist instantly flew out from his seven orifices. After gathering at his fingertip, they became a blood swallow and formed a blood-colored rainbow that flew straight towards Wang Baole. It traveled a thousand feet in an instant and exploded the moment it neared. It formed a huge patch of blood-colored fog, and it was like a giant mouth about to swallow Wang Baole.

If it was any other Spirit Immortal, they would definitely die after taking that hit. That was because the spreading of that divine power also contained the suppression of a Planet realm. Under this suppression, the cultivation of ordinary Spirit Immortals would become messy, and it was possible for weaker ones to directly collapse.

But for Wang Baole, that wasn’t enough. The moment the blood fog engulfed him, the Emperor Armor appeared on Wang Baole’s body with a bang. That vicious appearance, flowing long hair, and the Divine Armament on his right hand made him seem like a god of war at that moment. Behind him, as the Demonic Eye Art was activated, the giant black demonic eye appeared. After unleashing all that, Wang Baole turned around suddenly in mid-air and slashed towards the approaching blood fog.
