A World Worth Protecting

The ninth bridge was both sacred and awe-inspiring to all living beings on the immortal dipper continent. From ancient times until now, only four people had ever made it this far!

One of the four was the Lord of the immortal dipper continent, while the other three were the three most powerful great heavenly venerates.

But now, there was one more person!

At the same time, the eleventh Yang on the immortal dipper continent shone brightly once more. Its light was dazzling, as if it wanted to envelop the entire world in its light.

Wang baole, who stood at the end of the ninth bridge within the hundred thousand feet of light, also had a glint in his eyes. He could feel the resistance in front of him, and his body seemed to be frozen, unable to take another step forward.

It was as if... His path to heaven was about to stop here.

“It won’t Stop Here!”Wang baole muttered softly. He raised his head slowly, and the light in his eyes changed abruptly. A dark glow appeared in his pupils, as if a drop of ink had fallen into the water and was melting rapidly, it spread in all directions.

In that instant, his eyes turned black, and an aura of death spread out from his body. It enveloped the surroundings, and due to the strangeness of the Aura, Wang Baole, who was standing there.., he no longer looked like a living person, but a corpse!

The aura of death churned again. The black fog spread out from the pores all over Wang Baole’s body. It spread rapidly and filled the surroundings, bringing with it decay and death. This was... Wang Baole’s Dao of the dark!

At that moment, all the lords who were looking at Wang Baole felt waves of emotions rise in their hearts. As the black fog spread, the black fog in the sky above the ninth bridge formed a gigantic statue!

This statue... was exactly the same as Wang Baole. However, it was dressed in a black robe and had a cold expression on its face. There wasn’t a hint of emotion in it. It held a book in one hand, as if it controlled death in the world. Looking from afar.., it was filled with an ominous feeling.

“The embodiment of the Dao of Death!”

“Legend has it that after mastering the Dao of death and becoming one of the origins, one can become... The Dark Lord!”

“This... could it be the body of the Dark Lord?”

Just as the cultivators from the immortal dipper continent were shaken... the figure of the statue formed by the Black Fog... took a step forward!

This step shook Heaven and earth, causing the starry sky to Rumble, and the entire universe to shake violently.

This step shook everything in all directions, causing the minds of countless people who were looking at it to be filled with Thunderbolts.

This step was like walking from the mortal realm to the immortal realm. It was... the completion of the fourth step, and it was... the sign of walking to the fifth step!

At that moment, booming sounds filled the sky. The sky turned pale, and the wind and clouds tumbled backwards. Cracking sounds that could not be covered came from the sky. It was as if some barrier had been broken, and the statue.., it crossed the end of the ninth bridge and appeared in the void between the tenth bridge and the ninth bridge.

As it landed, the figure seemed to have exhausted all its remaining strength. It could no longer maintain itself. It was as if a gust of wind had blown over and reduced its existence back into fog. It dissipated, revealing... Wang Baole’s figure within the gigantic statue!

Is it the completion of the fourth step? Standing in the void between the ninth bridge and the tenth bridge, Wang Baole’s expression was calm. He sensed his current state. He had an accurate feeling that the current him only needed one finger.., he could destroy his past self with just one finger.

The difference between the two was too great.

The past him was also an eight Extreme Dao, and to a certain extent, he was also at the fourth step. However, the Wood Dao was the only dao that had a natural origin because his original body was himself. However, the other dao seemed to have a source, but in reality, they were not. They only had their own power.

The current him was the source of metal, earth, water, and fire. Even though he was only one of the five elements’origins, and there were others who shared it with him... This was already the limit that a cultivator could reach in the five elements.

Under normal circumstances, no one could monopolize any one of the five elements.

However, Wang Baole’s Wood Dao could!

Coupled with his dark dao, which was connected to the Dao of death in the universe, and his incarnation as the Dark Lord, at this moment, although he was also at the fourth step... he was able to suppress almost all the fourth steps!

Most others were at the same origin, but Wang Baole was at the five origins. Together with the true origin of the Wood Dao, the fourth step could only be suppressed before him.

It could be said that at that moment, Wang Baole was the strongest fourth step. He was unrivaled.

However... This was still not the end of Wang Baole’s path. He stood between the ninth bridge and the tenth bridge. He raised his head and looked at the tenth bridge. At his current level, he could already see that on the tenth bridge.., there were three figures.

He wasn’t unfamiliar with these three figures. The two who stood at the head of the tenth bridge were the two most powerful grand celestials in the entire immortal cloud continent who had given Wang baole a sense of danger.

Standing in the middle of the tenth bridge was... Situ, who was playing chess with him.

There was no one at the end of the bridge. There was still no one at the eleventh bridge.

There were two meanings to this. Perhaps no one had walked past it, or perhaps... they had walked past it completely, which was why there was no one left behind.

Regardless, there was no one behind the middle of the tenth bridge in Wang Baole’s eyes!

Can I walk onto the Tenth Bridge? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He knew very well that the ninth bridge represented the fourth step, and the tenth bridge represented... the fifth step of cultivation!

As long as he walked onto it, it meant that he was already at the fifth step. Reaching the middle stage meant that he had already cultivated half of the fifth step. If he could reach the end, it meant that he had reached perfection in the fifth step.

However, Wang Baole wasn’t confident. His Dao... had been exhausted.

Even though he still had the Dao of the Yang Sage left, he didn’t have anything to carry the Dao with him. It was the same for carefree.

“What a pity...”Wang baole sighed softly. However, at that moment...

Father Wang, who was sitting cross-legged beside the first bridge, suddenly spoke.

“Baole, keep walking!”

Wang Baole’s eyes flashed when he heard those words. He seemed to be deep in thought. His body swayed suddenly and he walked forward. As he walked forward, the aura around his body changed abruptly, and the dark aura dissipated, a strong life force erupted from his body.

This was... the opposite of the Dark Energy Dao... the Dao of the Yang Sage!

This Dao was the most powerful and most sacred dao. As soon as it appeared, it was filled with a majestic aura. It surged into the sky, and the light was so bright that it suppressed all light. The life force was so strong that it suppressed all death!

However, it was a pity... there was only an illusory aura and no physical body. It was like a rootless water, like a willow catkin. It seemed powerful, but in reality, it seemed like it only had a superficial layer!

That was because, in Wang Baole’s eight extreme dao, other than carefree, there was only the Dao of the Yang Sage. There was nothing that contained the Dao. He hadn’t found it in the stone tablet realm, which meant that he couldn’t perfect it.

However, at that moment... the moment Wang Baole’s Dao of the Yang Sage spread out, father Wang, who was under the first bridge, slowly raised his right hand. An irregular stone appeared in his hand.

The stone was only the size of a fist. It exuded a sense of grandeur. It wasn’t big, but it gave off a feeling that it was infinite. If one looked closely, one could see that there were a large number of glowing imprints on it! The material... seemed to be of the same origin as the Heavenly Bridge!

“This is the remaining bridge stone that I used to build the eleventh bridge. I’ll give it to you... as an item to carry the Dao!”As he spoke, father Wang waved his hand casually. The bridge stone immediately erupted with a strong light and shot towards Wang Baole, it flew forward!

It closed in on him in an instant and instantly fused with him!

Wang Baole’s body trembled violently. The Dao of the Yang Sage erupted with a loud bang!
