A World Worth Protecting

The stone stele world was unable to withstand Wang Baole’s full power, let alone the battle between him and the Emperor’s clone. Wang Baole didn’t know why the Emperor’s clone was able to enter the stone stele world without causing the place to collapse, however, he guessed that it must have been caused by an extremely unique mystic technique.

At the same time, it must have had something to do with the original body of the stone stele world... The Weiyang Dao domain from back then.

After all, if one were to trace the origins, the Weiyang Dao Domain, which had fought against the vast dao domain back then... had itself been formed from one of the emperor’s one hundred thousand thoughts.

That was why, even though GU had fled to the battlefield back then and Luo had used his right hand to seal the place into a stone stele, in the end, the place was still essentially one of the emperor’s original thoughts.

Perhaps that was the core reason why the Emperor’s clone wouldn’t cause the world to collapse.

However, whether that was the truth or not was no longer important to Wang Baole. No matter what the reason was, the battle between him and the Emperor’s avatar couldn’t possibly take place in the real world.

Wang Baole couldn’t possibly cause the stone stele world to collapse. Therefore, the battle... could only be a battle between the dao rhythms of the spirit and thoughts. This kind of battle might seem illusory, but in the end, it could be included in the cycle of reincarnation.

To create a world in an illusory world and form a cycle of reincarnation in this world. The battle between the cycles of reincarnation was the main reason for everything. This... was the extraordinary power that Wang Baole had obtained after he had perfected the five elements.

Only mighty figures could do this. Luo Yugu, for example, had fought in the cycle of reincarnation. In the end, Gu had been defeated in the cycle of reincarnation and had no choice but to flee.

It was the same at that moment. With a wave of Wang Baole’s hand, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth exploded, forming a giant whirlpool that covered the entire void. The whirlpool seemed to be able to devour everything, including himself and the Emperor’s clone, in an instant... it was completely submerged.

The blood-red youth, who was the emperor’s clone, did not wish to fight in the cycle of reincarnation. To him, as long as he destroyed the stone stele world, he would be able to turn Wang Baole into a rootless force at the cost of sacrificing himself. He would definitely be exhausted, he would no longer be able to affect the recovery and awakening of his original body.

However... he had already missed the best opportunity. At the same time, he wasn’t at his peak. All of this made it impossible for him to maintain his stance and will in front of Wang Baole’s five elemental cycle of reincarnation, he could only be dragged into the cycle of reincarnation passively.

If one were to look for the source of all this, one would discover... that the important and necessary connection between Wang Baole’s senior brother, Chen Qingzi, and his decision to go out and fight in advance.

It could be said that if Chen Qingzi hadn’t gone out in advance and damaged the blood-colored youth at the cost of his own destruction, it would have been difficult to guess what the current situation would have been like. Perhaps nothing had changed, perhaps... This was the straw that broke the balance.

No one had the energy to think about the truth. The minds of all the living beings in the stone stele world were buzzing. The Xie family patriarch and the others were the same. It was as if their souls had been captured.

Even though the gaze of a true imperial emperor had been pulled into the vortex, the short period of time that it had existed in the past still caused the entire stone stele world to stop functioning.

Whether it was the laws or the laws, everything seemed to be frozen.

Only the Moon Star sect patriarch and young Miss Wang Yiyi, who were outsiders, were able to maintain a normal state of mind and pay close attention to the battle that was taking place in the void.

Although they could not see the battlefield, they could only see the vortex spinning in the void. Bolts of lightning and lightning streaked through it. Sometimes it was blood-red, and sometimes it was five elements aura that erupted. However, through these changes.., they were still able to determine which side had the advantage between the two sides.

At that moment, blood-red was clearly suppressed. The five elements aura in the vortex spread out, and the shadows of the five elements seemed to be suppressing everything. They enveloped the vortex, especially... the water dao seed in it, the tear.., it was sparkling and translucent, and shone with brilliant light that surpassed the other four.

The blurry face of the woman could be vaguely seen within the vortex.

The reason for this was that... the Dao of the five elements of reincarnation actually created five worlds. Each world was formed from one of the five elements.

It was both illusory and not illusory.

At the moment, the first thing that unfolded was the Water Dao of reincarnation.

The world within the reincarnation was completely formed by the sea. The sea was vast and boundless, and there was no end to it. The waves in the sea churned, as if they were about to reach the heavens. From Afar, a huge statue could be seen standing in the middle of the sea.

The statue was in the shape of a human, seemingly infinite in size. Its feet were on the bottom of the sea, and half of its body was on the surface of the sea, as if it was supporting the sky. As it raised its two arms, it was actually holding onto a giant centipede that was constantly twisting.

The face of the statue looked exactly like Wang Baole’s. Its eyes were closed, but its expression was much more dignified than in reality. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and as the raging sea roared, the centipede that was grabbed by the statue that Wang Baole had transformed into.., it let out an earth-shattering roar.

As it roared, a violent power burst forth from its body. The countless feet on its body were like sharp blades, twining around the arm of the statue, leaving white marks on it and emitting sharp, piercing sounds.

However, the statue seemed indifferent. It didn’t care that more and more white marks appeared on its arm, nor did it care that some of the white marks were showing signs of cracking. The statue remained expressionless, it tightened its grip on the centipede’s body and continued to tear outwards, as if it wanted to tear the Centipede’s body apart!

“Wang Baole!”The intense pain.., it made the centipede go even crazier. As it roared, its struggles became even more intense. Large swaths of blood-colored fog appeared in all directions, causing the color of the seawater to show signs of changing, the statue itself began to rot.

However, in the end... the blood-colored centipede was still a little lacking. Just as its divine ability spread, turning the sea into a sea of blood and corroding the statue by nearly ninety percent, the statue’s hands tore apart.., finally, the centipede reached its limit. A shocking boom rang out, and the centipede’s body exploded from the center.

Miserable shrieks rang out as the centipede was split into two. In the moment of life and death, it revealed its extraordinary abilities. It took advantage of the moment when the statue was decaying, and the moment its hands spread out, the two halves of its body.., they collapsed on their own, turning into millions of pieces that spread out in all directions. Some fell to the bottom of the sea, while others disappeared into nothingness.

As they spread out, they split again, and then continued to spread out. Just like that... in a short period of time, as they continued to split and spread out, the number of individuals reached an enormous number that could not be easily calculated, it spread out across the entire watercourse reincarnation world.

As the Centipede rotted away, the statue seemed to lose its life force, and slowly became unable to move. It sat down, then slowly sank down from its waist up into the surface of the sea, as if it were about to be submerged.

When the head of the statue was about to sink into the sea, its eyes, which had been closed the entire time, suddenly... opened!

The color of Heaven and earth changed!

The wind and clouds tumbled!

The starry sky rumbled!

The entire universe shook!

Everything happened because of that pair of... eyes that opened, and a voice that echoed out from the mouth of the statue.

“You won’t be able to escape.”
