A World Worth Protecting

1

At almost the exact instant Wang Baole left, the earth shook, and the cave located in the restricted area on the dark side of the moon exploded open. Mud and sand fell from all directions, and a gigantic trench in the ground was revealed!

In the sky, there was now a crimson red glow that was stretching as wide as the sea appearing at an astounding speed. It fell directly above where the deep trench in the restricted area of the moon’s dark side was. As it stopped in mid-air, a red flying dagger could be seen!

It was the Red Star, the only Divine Armament remaining in the Federation!

Its emergence caused the skies and earth to turn crimson red. Even the forests were being dyed red. There was also an indescribable suppressive force that was continuously given off by the Divine Armament in waves.

Even though it was only palm-sized, it was like an imposing volcano. Once it erupted, it would be able to shock the heavens and earth.

That was especially so as the frightening waves spreading out from it were sufficient to vibrate the entire moon. It was as if, in the face of it, every Dharmic Armament would wither, unable to compete against it. It was because it was a Dharmic Armament, or more specifically, the God of Dharmic Armaments!

Even the Federation President could only unleash part of its powers. Without a doubt, in the Federation, no true owner that could completely unleash its potential had emerged… until now!

When it appeared, the forest was instantly filled with dead silence. However, one could see that, in this restricted area, all the Night Immortals and all the Moon Spirits behaved as if they had met with a formidable enemy, as they didn’t even dare move an inch.

Outside the restricted area, there were still many cultivators, most of them disciples from the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Galactic Dusk Sect. It appeared that the sudden changes that happened previously prompted the Core Formation realm cultivators from both clans who were teleported away to anxiously send out orders to those who were in the vicinity to gather and check on the situation.

Chen Hui was also amongst them. Following the awakening of the Night Immortal King, the trembling of the earth made the ones who were around the area have the initial intention to retreat. However, when the Divine Armament appeared, they didn’t dare move. The imposing manner of the Divine Armament scared them pale and stiff.

In the deep trench underground—where demonic vibes were churning and spreading in all directions, and sounds of metal chains clashing against each other were emerging in waves—a gigantic figure appeared to be slowly climbing within the trench and was about to crawl out and break into existence!

Other than that, in the forest not far away from the restricted zone, Wang Baole appeared after being teleported there. The moment he emerged, he noticed the Divine Armament in the skies, as well as the demonic vibe emerging from the restricted zone.

<em>Why have I only teleported such a short distance away? </em>Wang Baole’s scalp grew numb. The teleportation by the Mystic Trace Fog could either transport one nearby or far away. However, now that he no longer had any Mystic Trace Beads, he was anxious. He immediately squatted down, hiding himself while raising his head to look at the skies above him.

In the sky, other than the frightening crimson red-colored Divine Armament that seemed to be riding on crashing waves, creating stress in anyone who saw it, there were also several figures fast approaching. There were over a hundred of them, and they were noisy as they neared!

They were mostly Core Formation realm elites from the different factions of the Federation. The Federation President was also amongst them!

Their attention was fixated on their enemy, and they stared with great focus at the trench in the restricted zone. Nobody said anything, but they had all activated their cultivation, preparing to attack.

Just as the people were focusing their attention on the trench, a loud boom suddenly exploded from within the deep trench. After that, a thick cloud of demonic aura emerged, spreading furiously in all directions. Looking from afar, it seemed as though a large pair of black wings had been formed, covering the skies as a humongous figure rose from within the deep trench, with the sound of metal chains clanking in the background!

The figure was over a thousand feet tall and was dressed in a set of armor that was completely black. It was wearing a ghost mask, and its exposed skin was also black in color. The figure was a man without hair who had his head lowered. As his body rose into the air, nine metal chains attached to his body rose with it, lengthening as he rose higher…

When he emerged, an indescribable sense of suppressive force and frightening vibes were given off of him continuously in waves. That made everyone who saw him, including the Federation President, instinctively develop a strong sense of fear, regardless of their level of cultivation!

That was a suppression on the level of life’s natural order, a suppression arising from the vast difference in the level of cultivation!

It was as if every single cell in one’s body was screaming. Everyone’s spirit was trembling, similar to when a commoner meets with a deity!

He was the legendary Night Immortal King, the corpse that had fallen onto the moon with the arrival of the ancient greenish-bronze sword!

However, things felt slightly different where Wang Baole was. He did feel the tremors, but the green lotus inside his body also began shaking violently the moment the Night Immortal King appeared. It seemed emotional and, to Wang Baole, that emotion was one of sadness and reluctance to part…

It was as if it had met with an enemy from the past!

Just as Wang Baole felt a torrent of emotions due to the influence from the green lotus, everyone in the skies, including the Federation President, were all extremely nervous and fearful despite their high levels of cultivation.

The Night Immortal King was the one that was being surrounded, but it was those surrounding him who were afraid!

As the thousand-feet-tall humongous corpse covered in armor rose into the air, the metal chains attached to him were pulled taut. He finally stopped moving and stood motionlessly in place.

Looking at it from afar, the demonic vibe forming his wings was spreading out from a center point from an area behind him. That alone made this humongous black corpse appear like a true supreme being, and threw the entire moon into silence.

At this moment, Duan Muque, the Federation President, took a deep breath. With the protection of the Divine Armament, he approached the corpse slightly, closing his eyes as he communicated with the Night Immortal King through a unique method.

As the communication process went on, everyone held their breaths nervously. Wang Baole swallowed hard and wanted to experience the emotions of the green lotus in his body in detail when, suddenly, he sensed a pair of eyes staring at him from a short distance away.

As the gaze fell on him, a familiar movement made Wang Baole turn his head suddenly. Following the direction of the gaze, he noticed someone familiar, someone who caused a strong desire to kill to appear in his eyes!

That person was… Chen Hui!

She was already at Foundation Establishment stage, and the fluctuations belonging to her Foundation Establishment realm cultivation that emerged from her body were extremely familiar to Wang Baole, as it was originating from the small tripod cauldron he once possessed!

When the two locked gazes, Chen Hui looked awkward and quickly retracted her gaze. However, she seemed to have thought of something as she threw a quick glance at the elders from the Galactic Dusk Sect in the sky, which didn’t include the old lady. Her arrogant attitude emerged again, and she turned to stare at Wang Baole with a chill in her eyes.

<em>This Chen Hui took part in a rebellion, and still dares to look so arrogantly at me…</em>Wang Baole squinted his eyes. If it were possible, he would have loved to attack and kill Chen Hui. However, he was a distance away, and there were many other people around. Furthermore, with the suppressive force given off by the gigantic black corpse and the Divine Armament, he dared not move willy-nilly.

However, his intention to kill grew stronger by the minute and couldn’t be suppressed at all. The small tripod cauldron in Chen Hui’s body agitated Wang Baole greatly, especially as he recalled the experience of having it pulled out of his body by the old lady.

<em>I’m gonna kill her! </em>Wang Baole’s breathing grew rapid, and as his intention to kill reached the limits, all of a sudden, the green lotus in his body seemed to have sensed this intention and began to shake once again.

It shook, but Wang Baole didn’t manage to attack. That was when the motionless Night Immortal King in the skies, who had its head lowered while communicating with Federation President Duan Muque, suddenly moved!

Everyone surrounding the Federation President was taken aback, as the Night Immortal King standing in the skies suddenly turned and looked where Chen Hui was standing!

His previously shut eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of pitch-black eyes!

The moment the Night Immortal King laid his eyes on Chen Hui, Chen Hui’s body burst open with a loud boom, breaking into many pieces as flesh and blood spewed out, disintegrating directly before she could react!

Even the small tripod cauldron in her body was unable to withstand it and disintegrated into ash together with Chen Hui’s body…

All that happened so suddenly that everyone was gripped by shock. The Core Formation realm cultivators, including the Federation President, were all taken aback and began to unleash their cultivation fully. The Federation President began to hyperventilate. He controlled the Divine Armament, causing the Red Star’s crimson glow to spread in all directions in an astonishing manner as he spoke quickly.

“Night Immortal King, we have a promise to not overstep into each other’s boundaries!

“I will provide you with an explanation for what has happened today!”
