A World Worth Protecting

As Wang Baole spoke, a loud boom rang out from within the blood-colored vortex that had been sliced open. It reverberated throughout the entire world, and streaks of blood-colored lightning could be seen flashing between the two halves of the vortex.

Roars rose into the sky. If one looked closely, one could even see that the eyes of the emperor within the blood-colored vortex had also been sliced open. The face that had appeared on the blood-colored youth’s face had also been sliced off between his brows.

At that moment, as the number of bolts of lightning increased, the vortex seemed to be trying its best to merge back together.

Wang baole, who was observing everything, lifted his head imperceptibly. He seemed to be looking into the distance. His gaze... seemed not to be looking at this world, but at the world outside the stone stele realm.

However, all of these actions were fleeting and hard to detect. In the next instant, he continued to look at the blood-colored vortex. A clear chill appeared in his eyes. He told himself in his heart that he had already used four of his five elements reincarnation, now, only the Wood Dao had yet to be used. The Wood Dao... was his origin dao, his foundational dao, and also his strongest Dao.

Therefore, he wanted to create an opportunity that would allow his wood dao to erupt completely. Now... The Emperor’s gaze, which had been continuously weakened by the first four elements, no longer possessed the astonishing might it had previously, it was... the moment he activated his own Wood Dao.

In the next instant, as the blood-colored vortex continued to try to merge, Wang Baole raised his right hand. The entire world rumbled, and a towering tree appeared behind him.

It was Wang Baole’s natal tree, the black wooden nail!

The tree was pitch-black, and it exuded a primeval aura. It had a feeling of endless time. It emanated from the black tree, and it could affect the void and affect the universe. At that moment, the entire world seemed to have returned to ancient times.

Streaks of Black Lightning appeared as the black tree appeared. They spread in all directions with loud rumbles. They spread to the heavens, and they grew larger and larger. In the end... they filled the entire starry sky and replaced it.

The starry sky became a sea of lightning!

When one looked up, one could see that the Black Lightning was extremely violent. The black tree, which was surrounded by lightning, was now emitting an earth-shattering pressure. It was as if... the beginning of the universe could give birth to and destroy everything.

Wang baole, who stood before the black wood, seemed insignificant compared to the entire black wood and the lightning. It was as if he no longer existed. To outsiders, it was as if everything about him, everything about him, had fused with the black wood.

The Black Wood was him. He was the black wood.

His aura was like a rainbow, shaking the heavens and earth. It even spread out from the empty space in the stone tablet realm, causing all the living beings in the core dao domain to wake up from the state of calmness under the emperor’s gaze. They felt as if they had seen a god, their minds were filled with waves of shock.

No matter what level of cultivation they had, no matter what kind of lives they had, all of them trembled at that moment.

This aura also spread out from the stone stele world, causing the gazes that were watching from outside the stone stele world to become even more solemn at that moment.

Right at that moment... Wang Baole, who was standing in front of the Black Wood, was silent for a few breaths. Then, he raised his right hand and slowly lowered it.

Boom!

As his right hand descended, a deafening sound came from the void. The stone tablet realm shook violently. The black wood behind him pulled the endless lightning that was centered around it and slowly descended toward the blood-colored vortex below!

At a closer look, it was a gigantic black wood that was descending. However, if one were to look from afar... the black wood was like a nail. It was currently heading toward the blood-colored vortex and the blood-colored youth within it, with an unstoppable force.., it was an aura that could not be dodged, and it whistled through the air like a bolt of lightning.

As for the blood-colored vortex, it seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure. It trembled violently, and its healing power was interrupted. In fact, the Vortex, which had already been cut in half, began to show signs of cracking.

The blood-colored young man, who had been cut in the middle of his brow, looked terrified. He could sense an intense sensation of life-and-death crisis, and he could sense that death was so close to him.

It was as if he were wearing a thin layer of clothing, but he was in the middle of winter in the wilderness. From the inside out, he was completely frozen, and at the same time, the memories of his original body were awakened.

The scene of the black wooden spike suppressing his original body suddenly appeared in the blood-colored young man’s mind.

“You can’t suppress me a second time!”He roared. The blood-colored young man was already in a state of madness. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to heal the vortex in time. He waved his hands, and the blood-colored vortex, which had been cut in half, suddenly split into two, the two blood-colored vortexes split into two, and as they rotated, they transformed into two blood-colored vortexes.

The same thing happened to the two blood-colored vortexes. They split into two, and as they converged, the two blood-colored vortexes rotated at the same time, and within each of the vortexes appeared an eye from the imperial emperor’s true form.

As the two eyes appeared, the young man spared no expense, and the vague outline of his facial features appeared. From a distance, what appeared beneath the black wooden spike was an enormous face!

It looked like Wei Yangzi, and it looked like the blood-colored young man. It was... the face of an imperial emperor!

Although the rest of his facial features were blurry, his eyes were filled with an indestructible might. As the blood-colored young man’s roar echoed out, the imperial emperor’s face seemed to open its mouth and let out a soundless roar toward the descending black wooden spike.

The roar caused the heavens to shatter, and he unleashed his full power. It was like a life-or-death struggle, and the impact caused the black wooden spike to sway slightly. However, the force of the Roar did not stop. It slammed down with a bang, reaching a distance of 30 meters above the forehead of the face, only then did it pause slightly. It was blocked by the authority that erupted from the face of the emperor.

“Suppress!”The instant the black wooden spike was blocked, Wang Baole opened all his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. All his origin dharmic bodies appeared around him. They gathered all their power and spoke solemnly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the heavens and earth rumbled. As the starry sky shattered, the black wooden spike broke through the authority that blocked the face of the emperor. It landed with a loud bang. However, at that moment, the face of the emperor blurred for a moment and transformed into the blood-red youth’s appearance, he was no longer as crazed as he had been in the past. Instead, he was calm as he spoke.

“I am the emperor, the greatest in the universe. At the beginning of the natural laws, those who kill me will destroy themselves!”

The final words were a total of 18 words. Each word caused the imperial emperor’s face to grow dimmer. As soon as the words left his mouth, the imperial emperor’s eyes seemed to be filled with all the power he could muster, and they grew dimmer.

However, despite the dimness in his eyes, these 18 words were filled with indescribable power. The stone stele world rumbled, and the entire cosmos shook. Within the boundless natural laws, a new dao suddenly appeared. This was a new dao, these words merged into the 10,000 daos, affecting the stone stele world, causing the stone stele world to begin to reflect this new dao.

This had already surpassed the saying that goes with the law, this was... one word to set the course!
