A World Worth Protecting

As soon as the words left his mouth, an aura that didn’t seem to belong to the Weiyang Dao Domain suddenly descended from the depths of the starry skies. It pierced through the void, through the starry skies, into the land of the fallen stars, into the Black Paper Sea, and before Wang Baole.., it transformed into a not-so-majestic whirlpool!

The whirlpool... was only three feet in size. Its color was extremely bright, as if it was the brightest color in the world. As soon as it appeared, the entire black paper sea and even the land of the fallen stars instantly turned into daylight!

It wasn’t majestic, but it seemed to be the source of light. Its appearance caused the world to lose its darkness. At the same time, the depths of the vortex seemed to be connected to a world. If one looked closely.., one could even vaguely see that the world within the vortex was filled with a variety of colors!

There was also a strong aura that didn’t belong to the Weiyang Dao Domain. It spread out continuously from within the vortex, causing the minds of countless beings and countless lives in the fallen star area to buzz and go blank. Regardless of their cultivation level.., it was the same. Even the strange paper figurine next to Wang Baole wasn’t spared. It also lost consciousness in that instant.

It wasn’t that it didn’t want to fight back. It was just that the difference between them was so great that it felt like heaven and earth. The paper figurine didn’t even have time to think about fighting back. In that instant, its consciousness stopped.

There was also the paper figurine on the surface of the Black Paper Sea. It wanted to come here and find out what was going on with the Red Line between its brows. In Wang Baole’s previous senses, it seemed to be at the same level as his senior brother and the blazing flame ancestor, however, the paper figurine, which was clearly weaker than the two of them, was also trembling violently. Under the irresistible aura, its consciousness seemed to be suppressed. It stood motionless on the surface of the Black Paper Sea.

If they were all like this, there was no need to mention the paper figurine on the surface of the sea. All of them seemed to have their consciousness suspended at that moment. The entire meteorite land was like this. Only... Wang Baole was still conscious!

However... even though his consciousness had not been suspended, Wang Baole felt a huge wave of shock in his heart at that moment. That was because he realized that his body was unable to move, and the last sentence that came out of his mouth earlier.., he was not the one who said it!

To be precise, even though it came out of his mouth, that voice... did not belong to him!

That made Wang Baole’s heart skip a beat, and he thought to himself that things were not looking good!

It’s over, it’s over... I’m awake..

If it had been any other time, Wang Baole would have cried out in pain. However, with the development of the situation, he didn’t have the time to care too much about it. That was because... There was another inhuman being that wasn’t affected either, that was the ghastly face that was filled with malevolence and madness. It roared and raged as it charged at Wang Baole, formed by the black gas.

The Grimace was extremely malevolent. It approached Wang Baole in a frenzy, as if it wanted to swallow him whole. However, as it neared, as the vortex appeared before Wang Baole, and as the consciousness of all living beings in the entire meteorite land froze.., a cold Harrumph seemed to come from within the Vortex!

The Cold Harrumph was like a dao sound. The instant it came out, it immediately caused the meteorite land to rumble. Wang Baole’s mind buzzed. As for the Grimace, it was the first to be touched by the invisible sound. It landed right in front of Wang Baole.., it collapsed and exploded amidst the shrill screams, turning into countless black gases that seemed to be about to dissipate.

However, at that moment... the mirror seal below suddenly shone. A roar could be heard from the cracks on it. A large amount of black gas erupted from the cracks. When one looked at it, one could see that the mirror surface was squirming! Within the mirror seal, there was a huge face protruding from below!

The mirror surface was like a membrane, and the protruding face seemed to represent endless evil, as if it wanted to break out of the seal. As it roared continuously, cracks spread out, and more black gas was released, it even caused the black gas that had been dispersed in the surroundings to roll backwards, as if it was attacking from both inside and outside. It wanted to use this crisis to break through completely.

However, it was clear that this unknown existence didn’t have the chance. As its face bulged and its roars reverberated, a finger formed from starlight extended from within the three-foot-long whirlpool in front of Wang Baole!

The finger extended from the whirlpool. It seemed to have come from outside the never-ending DAO domain. It used the whirlpool as a medium, and the moment it appeared, it landed directly on the seal below!

As it descended, an indescribable aura seemed to replace the will of heaven. It descended with a bang, and the face beneath the seal let out a miserable shriek. All of the black smoke trembled and then collapsed, all of this took a long time to describe, but actually happened in the time it takes a spark to fly off of a piece of flint. In the next instant... as the starlight finger descended and pressed down onto the forehead of the face that had protruded out of the seal, the face seemed to shrivel up, it withered away, and its screams became shrill. It seemed to want to struggle, but under the finger, all its struggles were in vain!

It only lasted for three breaths before the protruding face collapsed with a bang. The surface of the seal smoothed out, and at the same time, the cracks on the surface of the seal seemed to have gained time to recover. They began to heal rapidly, visible to the naked eye.

The finger that had stretched out from the vortex also slowly dissipated, turning into starlight that flowed into the vortex. Everything seemed to be coming to an end, but... just as it was about to come to an end.., suddenly... a ripple appeared on the surface of the sealing mirror, which had already healed more than half of the cracks.

The ripple was like a ripple, and as it spread out rapidly, it actually made the seal on the surface of the mirror become transparent, revealing... the pitch-black abyss that led to an unknown place below, as well as... a figure that was walking towards them step by step from the pitch-black Abyss!

As soon as the figure appeared, the starlight that was about to dissipate from the vortex suddenly stopped. It gathered together again and turned into a pair of calm eyes that stared at the figure under the seal.

“Halt!”A calm voice spread out from the vortex and landed in all directions. It also landed in Wang Baole’s ears, causing him to tremble.

As the voice reverberated, the figure under the seal also stopped when it reached the edge of the seal. It raised its head and looked through the seal at the outside world.

His gaze first swept across Wang Baole, then turned to the vortex in front of Wang Baole. The eyes formed by the Starlight in the vortex seemed to be looking at each other.

The figure was clearly in the pitch-black abyss. However, Wang Baole could clearly see his appearance. He had purple hair, a slender body, and a long purple robe, he was surrounded by nine lanterns that emitted dark flames.

There was also an icy-cold aura emanating from his body that seemed to be unable to be suppressed. The strength of this aura was something that Wang Baole had never seen before in his life. Even his senior brother, Chen Qingzi, was far from it!

There was also... an elder that he seemed to have grabbed casually with his right hand. The elder was trembling, and from his appearance, it seemed to be the face that had protruded out from the seal earlier!

Interesting. I’ve been chasing after de Luozi for three months, killing a million of his clones, but I never thought that his original body would have set up a passageway to the outer domain

What’s even more interesting is that here... I actually met a fellow Daoist that made me feel like they were of the same species

This wasn’t some sort of language, but the spread of a divine thought. Wang Baole could feel it clearly, and his body was trembling as well, because he had a strong premonition, that seal... perhaps it had some limitations to the person who had mentioned deluo zi, but to this person, he could cross it with just a single step.

Fortunately, the purple-haired youth didn’t cross it. He merely stared at the eyes in the vortex before turning around. He held the elder in his hand and walked away. However, a faint voice could be heard from his back.

“My surname is Xu.”

“My surname is Wang.”The reply was a cold voice that came from within the vortex.

As the voices of the two echoed, the purple-haired figure gradually disappeared, and the sealed mirror returned to normal. The cracks on it completely healed at that moment, and they also healed as well, the entire fallen star ground seemed to have come to a halt from its previous state of exhaustion. A faint sense of life emerged.

The vortex in front of Wang Baole also shrank slowly at that moment, until it completely disappeared. No more words came out of it. However, the moment it completely disappeared, Wang Baole’s body returned to normal, there was a vague feeling that the person who claimed to be surnamed Wang seemed to have taken a glance at him before he disappeared.

“My surname is also Wang...”that glance made Wang Baole’s heart shudder, and he said instinctively.
