Chapter 859: Overbearing!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wang Baole’s appearance was both a decisive factor and a giant rock. It gave the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect a chance to overturn the battle situation that was originally disadvantageous to them. As everyone in the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect perked up, the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s aura gradually weakened. They retreated continuously, and it looked like the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect had the upper hand!
Such an upper hand wasn’t fatal, but one could imagine that once it accumulated, it would make their chances of winning greater and greater. In the end, it might not be impossible for them to win the battle!
Almost everyone from both sides could sense that. Because of that, while Wang Baole brought excitement to the disciples of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, he was hated to the core by the Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators. But alas, his cultivation was too astonishing, and his army was extremely violent.
Hence, the Heavenly Spirit Sect only had two ways to resolve the situation. One way was for the sect lord and elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect to defeat the Sovereign Patriarch. Another way was for the three perfected stage Spirit Immortals to suppress the butler and Daoist Gu Mo.
It was just that... for the former, until now, the sect lord and elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect still only had a slight advantage. Obviously, it would take some time for them to accumulate the winning edge before they could defeat him. As for the latter... it was the same.
So... the only way was to eliminate Wang Baole and try to wipe out the opportunity he created with his appearance as much as possible!
It wasn’t that there was no way to do so, it was just that the consequences were massive and posed quite a bit of risk. If this happened previously, when the Heavenly Spirit Sect had the initiative and was winning, they wouldn’t make such a decision since there was no need to take the risk. They only needed to maintain the tempo, and the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect would naturally collapse. Their destruction would have been irreversible.
But now... especially after seeing the battle situation where Wang Baole headed straight for a mid-stage Spirit Immortal, it was the only way out for the Heavenly Spirit Sect. That was because they absolutely couldn’t let Wang Baole enter the battle of early-stage and mid-stage Spirit Immortals. If they did... once Wang Baole killed a Spirit Immortal, the number of Violet Gold civilization cultivators would drop sharply. As the other Divine Sovereign Justice Sect Spirit Immortals were unleashed, their defeat would be guaranteed.
So, decisiveness appeared in the eyes of the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect as he growled, “Qing Kunzi!”
As his words spread, the three Heavenly Spirit Sect perfected stage Spirit Immortals, who were fighting the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s butler and Daoist Gu Mo, instantly had a sense of struggle appear in their eyes. But that turned to decisiveness in an instant, and their cultivations seemed to be burning as they exploded forth. Two of them seemed to not fear death and seemed to turn into suns as they lunged towards the butler and Daoist Gu Mo. They unleashed their ultimate techniques and actually trapped the butler and Daoist Gu Mo temporarily.
Meanwhile, the other perfected stage Spirit Immortal, the Qing Kunzi that the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect spoke of, flicked his body. As his cultivation exploded forth, he actually left the battlefield, charging with the force of a thunderbolt towards Wang Baole, who was fighting his way towards the Spirit Immortal battlefield.
Everything happened instantly, and in the next moment, as the battlefield rumbled, Qing Kunzi seemed to turn into a Kun Peng. In fact, looking with the naked eye, one could faintly see the shadow of a Kun Peng instantly approach Wang Baole.
And just a few breaths before he arrived, Wang Baole had already noticed and turned his head towards the rapidly nearing Kun Peng. Sensing the heaven-shaking killing intent, a trace of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a cold glimmer flashed between his eyes.
Finally, a big one comes! Wang Baole laughed. He naturally knew the Kun Peng’s motive. That was because the three decisions he made after arriving all had the greatest impact on the battle situation.
He first killed Yi Nianzi. After calming the swayed Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples down, he killed the two opposing Spirit Immortals, who countless Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples sacrificed their lives to trap. While this boosted the morale of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect cultivators, it also released a large amount of manpower. Without having to face enemies both in front and behind them, the excess cultivators could join other battles.
Afterward, what Wang Baole wanted to do was go to the early and mid-stage Spirit Immortal battlefield and use his late-stage Spirit Immortal cultivation to suppress and kill his enemies. Once he did that... there would no longer be any need to continue the battle.
As for the bad reputation that bullying the weak with his strong cultivation would bring, anyone who still considered that during a battle was a fool that would certainly die. What was most important in a battle was beating the weak using one’s strength!
So Wang Baole expected to get stopped. Similarly, that was also within his plans. After all, from a strategic point of view, although killing a perfected stage Spirit Immortal wasn’t as good as killing multiple early and mid-stage Spirit Immortals, it would have a greater impact on the morale of the Violet Gold civilization.
Hence, when Qing Kunzi charged over, Wang Baole released a big laugh and charged forward instead of retreating. He was like a shooting star as he headed straight for Qing Kunzi. Facing Wang Baole, an intense killing intent exploded forth from Qing Kunzi’s eyes.
“You’re overestimating yourself!”
Instantly, the two of them clashed within the cosmos. Looking from afar, one couldn’t determine whether the shooting star crashed into the Kun Peng or the other way around. Either way, when they clashed, a rumble that turned into a soundwave swept towards the surroundings like a giant wave.
Large numbers of cultivators from both sides spat out blood as they retreated in shock. Wang Baole’s body also trembled after being hit, and he was pushed back seventy to eighty feet. Nonetheless, he was unscathed, and light flashed within his eyes. Although he displayed late-stage Spirit Immortal disturbances, in reality, that was only 50% of his cultivation. The other 50% was being hidden by him.
“After burning his cultivation, he is indeed slightly stronger than ordinary late-stage Spirit Immortals. This makes things more interesting.”
As his words spread, Qing Kunzi’s shock had already reached a maximum. He only felt a huge wave of power rumble towards him. After retreating for more than 500 feet, he forced himself to stop. After he spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression turned pale. The shock and disbelief in his eyes made the waves in his heart roll continuously.
“You...” He didn’t even get to finish his sentence as the battle intent exploded forth in Wang Baole’s eyes. He unleashed another 20% of his cultivation. After unleashing 70% of his total cultivation, he stepped out, and his sheer speed cut open the void. In the next moment, he appeared in front of the extremely shocked Qing Kunzi. As he raised his right hand, the Divine Armament transmogrified and swept down!
Qing Kunzi’s face turned pale. Having no time to dodge, he could only weave hand seals with both hands. Instantly, the Kun Peng’s silhouette became very clear. While he resisted with all his strength, he also tried to make the Kun Peng he formed shake its tail and unleash a counterattack towards Wang Baole.
But waiting for him... was a hint of regret that appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. The Divine Armament in his hand didn’t stop and slashed down as 70% of Wang Baole’s cultivation gushed into it. The seemingly horrifying Kun Peng actually trembled violently and collapsed in front of Wang Baole. But Wang Baole didn’t decelerate. He went in front of Qing Kunzi in an instant and slashed again!
As rumbles sounded, Qing Kunzi let out shrill screams, and a black sun exploded from within his body. While he resisted with all his strength, his blood spurted everywhere, and he let out a shrill cry while looking as though he had seen a ghost.
“You’re not a Spirit Immortal!”
“I’m your daddy!” Wang Baole smiled, ignoring the disbelief and shock displayed in the expressions of the cultivators of both sides and the patriarch. He took another step and neared the retreating Qing Kunzi with his landing. With another wave of the Divine Armament in his right hand, heaven-shaking rumbles instantly sounded out.
Qing Kunzi let out a roar and resisted again. The black sun in his hands was indeed extraordinary. Although it made him spit blood, keep retreating, and keep getting injured, he still maintained it. However, cracks gradually appeared on it.
“Weak!” Wang Baole slashed as he stepped and was extremely fast as he attacked while chasing Qing Kunzi. In the end, under the seventh slash, the black sun in Qing Kunzi’s hands finally couldn’t handle it anymore and collapsed. After that, Wang Baole’s eighth slash seemed to be a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering long rainbow that could cut open anything as it flashed between the eyes of the shocked and desperate Qing Kunzi.
In the next moment, his head flew up. As rumbles sounded, a wave of cultivation disturbance that greatly exceeded his cultivation engulfed his body. His body and bones were crushed, and his shape and form were both destroyed!
“Way too weak.” Wang Baole felt happy in his heart as he stood within the cosmos and spoke coldly.
The surrounding battlefield instantly went quiet. In fact, most of the cultivators from both sides who saw this scene forgot to battle. They all stared blankly at Wang Baole, their heads buzzing as though a hundred thousand bolts of heavenly thunder exploded in them.
Truly... Wang Baole’s aura and cultivation were heaven-shaking and shook the surroundings!
“Planet realm?” Even Fairy Ling You was stunned for a moment as she mumbled skeptically. Her voice made the bodies of the Spirit Immortals on both sides jolt. As they looked towards Wang Baole, their expressions were full of horror.
