A World Worth Protecting

Then, judging by his current state, if he really has such a method, he’ll probably be using it soon… As those thoughts flashed within Wang Baole’s mind, his body traveled extremely quickly. Killing intent exploded forth intensely, and the violent aura on his body spread in all directions. He closed in immediately like a god of death. His Emperor Armor was unleashed, the Demonic Eye Art transmogrified and opened, and the Divine Armament seemed to be competing with the surrounding sunlight to see who could shine brighter as he slashed viciously towards the right-hand elder!

Rumbles echoed in the surroundings, causing the surrounding solar wind storm to become more violent. The right-hand elder humphed and took out an ancient stone shield. The shield was very extraordinary. The moment it appeared, it melted and covered the right-hand elder’s body, causing the right-hand elder to look like he had become a stone golem.

As rumbles sounded, the Divine Armament landed. However, the right-hand elder, who turned into a stone golem, raised both arms and forcefully resisted the blow. Although his whole body trembled, it didn’t shatter.

Wang Baole narrowed his eyebrows. As for the right-hand elder, his true face under the stone turned pale as he retreated rapidly while clashing with Wang Baole. But he was still slightly slower than Wang Baole and was caught up to in the next moment. Wang Baole slashed again, and although the slash was still blocked by the right-hand elder’s stone arm, this time, the stone arm not only trembled but also had a crack appear on it.

“I refuse to believe that I can’t shatter you!” The violent aura on Wang Baole’s body intensified as he flew into a frenzy. Like a bolt of lightning, he charged towards the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder again. As he neared, because of the speed and frequency he waved the Divine Armament, afterimages transmogrified as it landed rapidly. Instantly, it created a thunder-like boom which rumbled towards the surroundings.

The right-hand elder was no match for him and could only defend passively. Moreover, Wang Baole’s consecutive attacks gave him absolutely no chance to counterattack and completely trapped him into a passive situation. This also greatly limited the number of divine powers he could use. Looking from afar, the silhouette of the right-hand elder was continuously retreating. The mouthfuls of blood he spat out also evaporated away quickly.

In fact, under the frenzied attacks of Wang Baole, the stone skin on his body had more cracks appear on it. And when Wang Baole growled, the stone skin on the right-hand elder’s body collapsed and exploded open!

As it exploded open, the right-hand elder spat out even more blood as the injuries on his body grew more severe. But at that moment, a sense of viciousness appeared in his eyes. It seemed as though he had used his stone skin to buy time to unleash a divine power.

“Long Nanzi, it’s my turn!” As he spoke, the right-hand elder growled and roared.

“Intrinsic Seven Refinements!” The right-hand elder’s expression was twisted and evil. Although he was in a completely passive situation previously and couldn’t unleash many divine powers, he could finally unleash two divine powers using the time he bought via the stone skin. He didn’t even need to prepare anything to unleash one of them, as it was his intrinsic technique and could be unleashed by just thinking about it. He tolerated attacks until now in order to unleash the other technique!

The former was a power-storing divine power he prepared for when his cultivation broke through the early-stage Planet realm. Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to use it. But now, this was one of his trump cards.

As rumbles and roars sounded, seven rays of light exploded forth from outside his body. The seven rays of light collectively had the seven colors of a rainbow. Even though the solar wind storm was all around them, the seven rays of light still shone brightly.

The moment they appeared, the rainbow light flashed thrice, and three rays of light disappeared. But three rings that spread outwards rapidly appeared. As Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and a strange glint flashed between them, the three light rings crashed into him.

The moment the two clashed, the three light rings buzzed and collapsed, but the power within them was astonishing, causing Wang Baole’s body to tremble and retreat. But the right-hand elder was even worse off. Mouthfuls of blood, which evaporated before they even landed on the ground, gushed from his mouth. Under the curse, his cultivation had to resist both the recoil from the collapse of his Intrinsic Seven Refinements and the surrounding solar wind storm, making his predicament even more dangerous.

But, he released a big laugh as he retreated, and viciousness flashed between his eyes.

“Long Nanzi, I’ll admit that you’re a man among men, but this time… you’ve been tricked yet again!” Frenzy exploded forth in his eyes as he weaved hand seals with both hands and waved them outwards violently. Instantly, the four types of lights left outside his body disappeared and turned into four light rings. They didn’t charge towards Wang Baole. Instead, they exploded forth while spinning towards the surroundings!

Such an explosion took all of the right-hand elder’s power and was his intrinsic trump card. So, as it collapsed, it formed a vortex that was like a black hole. The moment the vortex formed, it attracted and pulled the surroundings.

Within the perimeter of the violent Eternal Star, and in the void where the solar wind storm spread, the appearance of the vortex… immediately pulled the surrounding solar wind storm towards it. This caused a white light to appear in the area where the two of them were located.

But that wasn’t the most horrifying part. The clash between the both of them might have continuously provoked the Eternal Star and caused it to reach a certain point. So, the moment the vortex was formed… far away from the two of them, silently, a light that was so bright one couldn’t tell its color was formed. It was indescribably violent and seemed to be mist-like and liquid at the same time. It brought with it an indescribably horrifying power as it swept towards the two of them from afar!

Right now, only one expression seemed apt enough to describe the scene. That was… blotting out the sky and covering the sun!

Looking from afar, the extreme light was like a divine hand that could destroy everything. It connected all directions together and spread infinitely. As it covered the area, it seemed to be able to wipe away everything that existed under its power. In front of it, all those whose cultivation levels weren’t high enough were like ants. They could be easily exterminated!

If heaven and earth existed there, they would definitely have changed at this moment. The extreme light replaced everything and became this place’s only color. In fact, with just one look, Wang Baole’s eyes stung as though they were about to be pierced. The right-hand elder felt the same way as true shock appeared on his face. Originally, he only planned to make use of the vortex to gather the Eternal Star’s power in this area and cause a huge explosion that could eliminate Long Nanzi. Never did he expect that his actions would actually create this unimaginably huge and horrifying turn of events!

That was because that extreme light… was a solar flare!

It was an existence that could destroy everything. For those below the Eternal Star realm, touching it meant certain death!

The right-hand elder, whose expression turned pale, gave up on quickly forming a plan. As his face turned pale, he grabbed his right hand tightly without hesitation. In the next moment, his right hand self-destructed. As his blood and skin spread towards the surroundings and were instantly destroyed by the high heat there, a weak light of teleportation spread from within it. A blur star map also transmogrified from within it. One could see thousands of light spots on the star map. Every light spot… seemed to represent a civilization’s Eternal Star Sun.

This… was why the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder used his stone skin to block Wang baole’s attacks and buy time previously. This was also one of the two trump cards he unleashed. It was… the Eternal Star’s teleportation that was sealed within his palm with the Violet Gold civilization’s Eternal Star as its foundation!

The teleportation could allow the Violet Gold civilization’s Planet realm cultivators to instantly teleport to specific areas within the boundaries of the Violet Gold civilization when they were outside the Violet Gold civilization’s boundaries. Every civilization the light spots represented was a subordinate of the Violet Gold civilization.

The Divine Eye civilization wasn’t subordinate to the Violet Gold civilization yet, so it wasn’t within that boundary and couldn’t allow teleportation between one another. That was why they needed the Divine Eye royalty to activate the Eye of the Eternal Star to allow the Violet Gold civilization to descend.

And the right-hand elder’s plan was to use his Intrinsic Seven Refinements to make the place even more violent, getting it to reach a level that was enough to eliminate Wang Baole. Meanwhile, he would use the Eternal Star teleportation to leave the Divine Eye civilization’s Eternal Star at a crucial moment!

The direction of the teleportation needed to be chosen, but as he was in danger, the right-hand elder had no time to choose and just picked a spot at random. In the next moment, his body blurred!

But just as his silhouette blurred, and right as the solar flare swept over, a glimmer suddenly flashed between Wang Baole’s eyes!

“I thought you would wait a while more before using your method of escape!”
