A World Worth Protecting

The Dark Emperor’s residence... Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. After pressing down on the palm, the Heavenly Dao energy in his body had dissipated. He suppressed the displeasure in his intrinsic scabbard and didn’t show any signs of weakness, he lowered his head and stared at the bottomless mountain in the Dark River, the statue at the top of the mountain, and... the pitch-black temple.

Wang Baole didn’t know much about the dark emperor. There weren’t many descriptions in the dark dream. He only knew that he was the leader of the dark sect, above the nine grand elders.

However, he had been in seclusion all year round. The authority of the dark sect had been left to the nine grand elders. In the end, the Dark Emperor was the first to be killed in the war against the Weiyang clan. As for the price of his death... Wang Baole didn’t know, however, from what he learned later on, he knew that the Dark Sect’s Heavenly Dao had been killed by the never-ending clan along with the Dark Emperor.

Then, the appearance of the never-ending clan’s Heavenly Dao and the decisive battle against the Nine Elders’control over the nine meridians dark sect had led to the complete destruction of the nine meridians dark sect. Ninety percent of the sect had died.

The Dark Sect’s glory had been completely sealed, and it had become history. The never-ending clan had risen to power. They had become the lord of the DAO domain, and the Heavenly Dao had spread throughout the DAO domain, becoming the legitimate sect.

Then, there was the secret that Wang Baole had learned from his senior brother, Chen Qingzi, when he had come to the nine serenities realm. The Dark Emperor... had been formed by one finger of Allheaven.

One finger... then who could have killed the dark emperor formed by one finger of Allheaven... a deep look appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. He recalled what he had learned in his previous life, the stories he had learned about the outside world had allowed him to understand how powerful the other people who had killed one finger of Allheaven were.

From this, he could more or less infer the dark emperor’s combat strength and how powerful his opponent was.

“It’s the primeval patriarch of the Weiyang clan that even senior brother is afraid of... is this di Tian’s clone? Or is it the blood-colored centipede?”Wang Baole was silent, chen Qingzi, who was in the void behind him, had a dark glint in his eyes. He spoke slowly and calmly.

“Enter the Hell-emperor’s mansion and retrieve the remains of the hell-emperor. Time is limited. The tunnel will only be open for six hours!”

As soon as he spoke, the surrounding underworld sect cultivators’hearts began to pound, and their eyes shone with determination. Rumbling sounds could be heard as they shot toward the tunnel formed by the Hell-emperor’s hand seals.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of figures shot through the tunnel like shooting stars toward the top of the mountain below. There were also quasi-underworld children, including eldest senior brother, who wore a mask.

At that moment, if the location of the Dark Emperor’s residence was seen as a world, then the Dark River was the sky of this world. The dark sect members had pierced through the sky and descended into this world!

That was indeed the case. Wang Baole followed behind the group and stepped into the tunnel. He passed through the tunnel that was a million feet long. As he neared the Dark Emperor’s residence, the feeling of being pulled and summoned grew stronger, the resonance grew stronger. When he rushed out from the bottom of the tunnel, he saw a world around him!

To be more precise, it was a world in the Dark River. To be more precise... This world was a giant bubble. This bubble... was inside the Dark River. There was nothing else, there was only a bottomless mountain.

Perhaps it was due to the bubbles, but the sky was gray and the ground was the same. One could imagine that there were many bubbles like this within the Dark River. However, it wasn’t the time to think about other bubbles. After stepping into this world.., wang Baole was about to approach the Dark Emperor’s residence.

However, at that moment, four figures suddenly appeared and blocked Wang Baole’s path. These four figures were all elders. After blocking Wang Baole, they didn’t speak and only bowed slightly.

Among the four of them, one had a cultivation base in the galaxy, while the other three were only at the perfected star realm. Blocking them was more symbolic. If Wang Baole really wanted to force his way in, it wasn’t impossible.

Wang Baole raised an eyebrow. He was about to avoid them, but the mighty figure from the galaxy sighed softly and spoke in a low voice.

“Fellow Daoist, please rest here. The people from the dark sect can handle the rest on their own. Thank you, fellow Daoist.”

Wang Baole stopped in his tracks. He looked at the four people who had stopped him, then looked behind them. At that moment, all the dark sect cultivators seemed to be centered around the masked eldest senior brother, they all entered the black temple under the statue and disappeared without a trace.

There was no need to think too much about this matter. Wang Baole could see everything clearly with a single glance.

Regardless of whether the factions were glorious or declining, there were internal conflicts. It wasn’t that the dark sect cultivators couldn’t see the fate, Karma, and dark fire handprint that he had displayed just now, however... They were outsiders in their hearts.

That was why, emotionally and in terms of benefits, they would still stand on the side of the quasi-dark child’s eldest senior brother. Now that the passageway had opened, whoever could obtain the dark emperor’s remains for the Heavenly Dao would be considered to have made a great contribution.

That was why they naturally didn’t want Wang Baole to be involved in this matter. It would have been fine if Wang Baole hadn’t shown his true strength before. Now that he was in such a state, they were afraid and wanted to stop him.

However, Wang Baole’s status and fate were there. Even if they tried to stop him, the elder from the dark sect’s Starfield had mixed feelings. That was why he had been so polite and respectful.

Everyone was doing this for the dark sect. However, selfishness wasn’t something that everyone didn’t have.

Wang Baole’s thoughts were clear. He nodded after a moment of silence. His goal was to retrieve the remains of the dark emperor for his senior brother. It would be good if he could retrieve them personally. If he couldn’t, he could accept the same outcome.

Seeing that Wang Baole had agreed to the matter, the three perfected stars had mixed feelings as well. The galactic elder who had spoken to Wang Baole sighed. He didn’t say anything, but more wrinkles appeared on his face, he bowed deeply to Wang Baole once again.

Then, the five of them sat cross-legged outside the temple. Wang Baole didn’t continue speaking. He raised his head to look at the statue of the Dark Emperor. From this position, he could see the face of the statue of the Dark Emperor.

It was a very ordinary-looking face. There was nothing out of the ordinary about it. It was very ordinary. The only difference was that the expression carved in its eyes was slightly different.

It seemed to contain some special thoughts.

“What a pity...”Wang Baole muttered in his heart. This was the emotion he saw in the statue’s eyes.

Just as Wang Baole sensed this emotion, a muffled boom came from within the temple. It was mixed with the sounds of roars and fights.

Wang Baole couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the scene. The four people in front of him looked over as well. However, they were outside, and there was something strange about the place, so they couldn’t see what was happening inside.

Soon, the rumbling sound became more frequent and muffled. It was as if the people inside were moving deeper and deeper. It was intense. Two hours later, the muffled rumbling sound suddenly disappeared.

The entire temple fell into a dead silence. The four dark sect cultivators’expressions were changing, especially that of the mighty figure from the galaxy. He quickly took out a jade slip and focused for a long while. Then, his expression was one of shock and bewilderment, he looked hesitantly at Wang baole, then at the temple. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He called for the other three cultivators and headed straight for the temple.

Wang Baole didn’t move. He watched as the four dark sect cultivators entered the temple. After a series of loud bangs, the place fell into dead silence again. It had been less than four hours since the tunnel had been closed.

It was obvious that there was a great danger in the temple, and it had exceeded the dark sect cultivators’judgment. The person who had entered was now unknown. Wang Baole remained silent. He sighed, stood up, and walked towards the temple step by step.

When he reached the entrance of the temple, he stopped in his tracks. He remained silent for a few breaths before... stepping into the temple!
