A World Worth Protecting

“Long Nanzi!” The expression of the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect was cold as he stared at Wang Baole. Having personally sealed the imperial cemetery statue into the Nine Spectrals, he naturally knew about Wang Baole. In reality, the three princes of the royal family all knew the identity of Wang Baole. In fact, it could be said that they were paying very close attention to him.

It was just that the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect didn’t think that Wang Baole could still appear after he had sealed the statue and sunk it into the Nine Spectrals!

“Long Nanzi!”

“It’s Long Nanzi!” The moment Wang Baole appeared, the entire battlefield instantly shook. On the one hand, his appearance was way too astonishing. The moment he attacked, he grabbed Yi Nianzi, who had just turned traitor, like he was a chick. On the other hand, Wang Baole had gone missing, something noticed by many Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples amidst the fighting. They all had their own guesses in their hearts.

Hence, the moment Wang Baole appeared, he instantly shook the surroundings.

At that moment, Fairy Ling You and the Black Armor Legion’s commander were shocked too. But what made them more shocked was Wang Baole’s cultivation. That was because the armor, which didn’t cover his face, was dispersing late-stage Spirit Immortal disturbances!

Also noticing this was Daoist Gu Mo.

And this was what Wang Baole exposed after concealing his true power. Nonetheless, he still shook the souls of countless Divine Sovereign Justice Sect cultivators. Even the Sovereign Patriarch’s eyes glowed.

“It looks like you don’t want to give me the pill.” Wang Baole sighed. A cold glimmer then flashed between his eyes. It didn’t matter how much Yi Nianzi struggled and even pleaded with his eyes, he still clenched his right hand viciously. With a crack, Yi Nianzi’s neck was crushed, and he dispersed his cultivation to gush into Yi Nianzi’s body and destroy his soul.

“I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time!” Wang Baole spoke coldly. After releasing his grip, Yi Nianzi’s corpse rumbled and turned to dust, dissipating into the cosmos.

The moment Wang Baole attacked, the Sovereign Patriarch’s eyes glowed, and he suddenly growled, “Long Nanzi, go assist in battles with your Soul Rift Legion. You’re allowed to move freely!”

“Yes, Patriarch!” In front of the numerous disciples, Wang Baole knew how to carry himself properly. Besides, he returned intending to assist anyway. So after replying, he immediately raised his right hand and waved it down violently!

Instantly, tens of thousands of battleships appeared in his surroundings as rumbles sounded. They all flew towards the surrounding Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples and exploded. This scene instantly raised the spirits of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and other armies.

“Self-destructing battleships!”

“The appearance of these battleships will greatly reduce our load!” It was obvious that Wang Baole’s Soul Rift Legion’s self-destructing battleships were very famous.

And as the second-ranked army, him entering the fray would definitely change the battle situation. Although it wasn’t guaranteed that he could turn the tide, he could still take some pressure off everyone.

However… just as this thought appeared in the minds of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples, Wang Baole waved his hand again. Instantly, a hundred thousand puppets, which had souls infused into them, appeared one after another. As they all unleashed their cultivations, with the weakest being at least a Nascent Soul, they charged towards the surroundings.

The appearance of that power instantly made all of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples stare with their mouths agape. Their souls shook, and the Violet Gold civilization’s Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators also all stared with wide eyes as their souls shook.

“This is…”

“Nascent Soul puppets!”

“There’s more than a hundred thousand of them… My gosh, more than a hundred thousand Nascent Soul puppets!”

Fairy Ling You, the Black Armor Legion’s commander, and the other Spirit Immortals all stared as well. Only the likes of Daoist Gu Mo and the Sovereign Patriarch didn’t have much change in their expressions, though one could still see a sense of concern.

Without a doubt… the self-destructing battleships and the hundred thousand Nascent Soul puppets were enough to let Wang Baole’s army rise from its original second place to the top-ranked army. In fact, to a certain extent… it had already exceeded the definition of an army. Also, considering the cultivation Wang Baole displayed at that moment, although it might be quite a stretch if one said he could create a sect by himself, it was definitely not impossible!

However… it was impossible for the shock to end there. That was because Wang Baole didn’t intend to conceal the combat strength of his army this time. Since he wanted to rise and hold more power, he naturally had to display his strength. So, as he waved his hand again, twelve Spirit Immortal auras were unleashed and shook the entire battlefield, causing the expressions of countless people to completely change!

Twelve puppets, twelve Spirit Immortal auras. The moment they appeared, the battlefield went silent, and in the next moment, the noise level reached a maximum. The expressions of all of the Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators changed, and the Heavenly Spirit Sect Spirit Immortals fighting with Fairy Ling You let out cries of shock.

“Spirit… Spirit Immortals!”

“Spirit Immortal puppets…”

Fairy Ling You was stunned for a moment, and the body of the Black Armor Legion’s commander also shook. As for the other Divine Sovereign Justice Sect Spirit Immortals, they all had shock in their eyes. Some of them even seemed lost. After all, Spirit Immortal puppets were too rare, and they were seeing them for the first time in their lives. Furthermore, they were seeing twelve Spirit Immortal puppets at once…

Even the expressions of the three perfected stage Spirit Immortals fighting Daoist Gu Mo and the butler changed greatly. The three Planet realm cultivators—the Sovereign Patriarch, the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and the left-hand elder—also had obvious changes in their expressions.

Truly… with the sheer strength of the Soul Rift Legion that Wang Baole displayed… it was no longer a stretch to say that he could create a sect on his own. Instead, he could definitely create a sect on his own.

The number of Spirit Immortals in any of the three greater sects… couldn’t compare to the number of Spirit Immortal puppets that Wang Baole had!

“D*mn it!” Killing intent exploded forth from the eyes of the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Although he didn’t know what existed within the imperial cemetery, he knew that Wang Baole didn’t take out those puppets even when he was faced with danger back then. That was enough to show that… what he saw now, were items Wang Baole obtained in the imperial cemetery.

And the appearance of the puppets could no longer be said to have only slightly affected the battle situation. Without exaggerating, this was already a factor that could decide the flow of the battle. It was as though the Heavenly Spirit Sect was no longer facing the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect alone. Instead, it was as if they were facing two sects at once!

As the decisive factor, the appearance of Wang Baole’s Soul Rift Legion immediately boosted the morale of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. Conversely, the Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators started panicking for the first time in the invasion. That was because the hundred thousand puppets and large numbers of self-destructing battleships had already charged towards the surroundings. Rumbles were sounding out everywhere, and the twelve Spirit Immortal puppets had also joined the Spirit Immortal battles!

They looked like puppets, but their expressions all seemed to show sentience. Their attacks were sharp and precise, and they seemed like they were alive. That was especially so when they unleashed the Divine Eye Art in succession. As Divine Eyes appeared, the shock it brought to everyone on the battlefield reached another level.

“Divine Eye Art!”

“This… What is this!”

“The royal family’s Divine Eye Art! Didn’t the royals collude with the Violet Gold civilization? Why is their technique appearing beside Long Nanzi!”

“Wait… Long Nanzi’s identity… My gosh, who exactly is he!”

The minds of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples were in a mess, but they also knew that now wasn’t the time to be thinking about that. When the Soul Rift Legion attacked, they all gritted their teeth and growled as they unleashed their full strength and charged towards the Heavenly Spirit Sect alongside the Soul Rift Legion.

The entire battle situation seemed to tilt from the previous continuous retreat of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, becoming the continuous scattering of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. At the same time, the butler and Daoist Gu Mo were fighting with all their might. The Sovereign Patriarch also unleashed secret techniques without hesitation. As his combat strength was activated once more, the battle between him and the two Heavenly Spirit Sect Planet realms in the cosmos became even more intense.

As the cosmos rumbled and screams sounded out everywhere, Wang Baole wasn’t slacking off. With a flick of his body, he charged into the battlefield. Wherever he went, all Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators who came into contact with him had their bodies shattered. Looking from afar, Wang Baole, who was wearing the Emperor Armor, was like a sharp blade stabbing into the battlefield. Seemingly dividing up the battlefield, he charged directly in front of the two Heavenly Spirit Sect Spirit Immortal cultivators that the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples sacrificed numerous lives just to trap.

The two Spirit Immortal cultivators were both only at the early-stage Spirit Immortal realm. With shocked expressions, they tried to retreat. But it was too late. They were Wang Baole’s targets, and as his late-stage Spirit Immortal cultivation was unleashed, he reached maximum speed and flew past one of them in an instant. Without turning back his head, he gave chase towards the other.

And as Wang Baole sped past, the Heavenly Spirit Sect Spirit Immortal cultivator stared with his eyes wide open, seeming lost. As he lowered his head to look at his body, he saw a familiar headless corpse floating to the side.

In the next moment, his head and corpse were engulfed in flame as both his body and soul were destroyed!

But he wasn’t lonely. That was because his companion, the other early-stage Spirit Immortal cultivator, only took in one more breath than him. Afterward, as Wang Baole pointed, his skull collapsed, his body exploded, and his soul shattered!

Killing two Spirit Immortals consecutively in the blink of an eye shook the battlefield once again. Countless Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples retreated rapidly in shock and terror. It was as though Wang Baole was the Grim Reaper!

So many people… Could it possibly allow my Demonic Eye Art to improve once more and push my cultivation to another level? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as killing intent rose within him again!
