Chapter 824: Slash!
After the surrounding cultivators and those who got there later saw that scene, their minds rumbled. It was obvious that in that short period of time, the battle between the two was extremely dangerous. Scheming against each other looked easy, but in the battle, where everything could change in a single second, one mistake would mean death!
At the same time, all the Never-Ending Clan members hesitated when faced with their army commander’s orders. Even the Never-Ending Clan, with its strict class system, couldn’t be unwavering when faced with a battle that meant almost certain death.
But the will to carry out orders deep in the bones of the lower-ranked members still made some Never-Ending Clan members in the surroundings charge out while screaming. But the moment they charged out, the demonic eye behind Wang Baole turned around violently. As it opened, the nearby black Dark Fire spread and covered the surroundings. Wherever it went, the Never-Ending Clan members who charged in all let out shrill cries of pain as their bodies were burnt and turned to dust.
As they died, a large amount of black gas dispersed and was absorbed by the demonic eye behind Wang Baole. This scene made the Never-Ending Clan members who wanted to charge over all inhale and hesitate instead of charging into the battle.
Using that opportunity, Wang Baole’s eyes flashed as he pushed through his injuries and unleashed the power of the Thearch Armor again. At the risk of overextending, he forcefully activated his Thearch Armor. The Divine Armament in the Thearch Armor’s right hand also instantly formed. Wang Baole charged out with a flick of his body, and his aura rose, forming one that seemed able to slash apart everything. But the moment he neared, the Never-Ending Clan elder, who was retreating rapidly, weaved hand seals and pointed. Instantly, a Dharmic Artifact flew out from his body and exploded. After pushing Wang Baole back, his body retreated again as he tried to keep pulling away.
“D*mn it, why does time pass so slowly!” The elder’s aura was messy. After once again pushing Wang Baole, who charged towards him again, back, he growled towards the sky.
“Never-Ending Clan, hear my call. Come and assist me quickly. Those who disobey my orders will be executed!” The moment these words spread, the expressions of the surrounding Never-Ending Clan members changed. Seeing that their hesitation was going to be forcefully suppressed, Wang Baole furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Although a group attack by the Never-Ending Clan could increase the power of his Demonic Eye Art through killing, it was highly possible that he would let the Never-Ending Clan elder escape with a single mistake. If that was the case, the elder would be able to turn the tables on him. So he definitely couldn’t let that happen. So, as a vicious glimmer flashed between his eyes, he raised his left hand and waved it.
Immediately, numerous battleships rose into the sky and covered the entire firmament. There were tens of thousands of them forming a patch of black. They caused the surrounding Never-Ending Clan members who wanted to charge over to stop in shock and instinctively retreat.
As they retreated, Wang Baole’s consciousness moved, and the densely packed battleships in the sky all dispersed self-destructing disturbances and flew towards the Never-Ending Clan elder. Compared to a Spirit Immortal, their explosive power was like a gentle breeze. But even if such large-scale self-destruction could only move the Spirit Immortal slightly, a gentle breeze could become a tornado if there were enough battleships.
“Suppress!” Wang Baole growled, and instantly, all of the battleships came down. Looking from a distance, because they covered the heavens, it looked as though the heavens were tilting. As rumbles echoed continuously, the sky trembled, and the earth collapsed. Disturbances that grew increasingly bigger and stronger gradually swept everything!
The elder’s expression was pale as he continuously resisted. But there were too many self-destructions, his injuries were serious, and the curse was still there. Gradually, he felt that he lacked the ability to do what he wished. That was especially so considering that Wang Baole was extremely crazy. Although he was knocked back every time he charged over, he was like a spring and kept charging back towards him nonetheless.
His hostile gaze, crazy actions, and intense killing intent all made the Never-Ending Clan elder’s heart shiver.
This scene made the surrounding Never-Ending Clan members that arrived feel even more fearful. As they retreated again, the anxious Never-Ending Clan elder fighting Wang Baole felt his aura become increasingly unstable. In fact, his cultivation showed signs of dropping again.
All of this caused his eyes to turn completely red. He knew that he couldn’t keep thinking about escaping and couldn’t keep placing his hopes on buying time. He knew that he had to risk his life and give it his all. That was the only way he would have a chance to survive.
If not, he would be killed by the d*mned pig-masked man, who had many tricks up his sleeve, there before he even had a chance to escape and before his cultivation recovered.
So, as he growled, he weaved hand seals with his five hands. Not caring about anything, he blasted his entire cultivation out of his body. While it formed a storm that swept through the surroundings, his low growl also echoed.
“Spirit Immortal essence body!”
As his words spread, the cultivation aura that he pushed out of his body immediately formed a vortex. In the blink of an eye, a giant statue transmogrified. The statue looked exactly the same as the elder, and the moment it appeared, the suppression force that it formed covered the surroundings and countered the explosive force of the tens of thousands of battleships.
At the same time, as Wang Baole made use of the opportunity to charge towards him once again, the Never-Ending Clan elder let out a scream.
“Let’s see whether it’s you who is risking your life and giving it your all or me!” While he was speaking, one of the elder’s five arms collapsed and formed an explosive force. It became an illusory black sea of mist and flew towards Wang Baole. Not waiting for the sea of mist to end, the elder gritted his teeth again and made another arm of his collapse, forming a second wave of the sea of mist and sending it crashing towards Wang Baole again.
“You either scram or battle with your life on the line!” The Never-Ending Clan elder bellowed. Each wave of mist formed by the explosion of his arms had astonishing power, and they were both heading towards Wang Baole. There were only two decisions in front of him. He could either… escape, or… he could really battle with his life on the line!
Wang Baole laughed as a cold glimmer shone in his eyes, and he didn’t hesitate at all. Not only did he not decelerate, but he moved faster and charged into the sea of mist. The moment he came into contact with the mist, viciousness appeared in his cold gaze.
The Thearch Armor… collapsed. Other than the right arm, all of its other parts exploded and formed a formless giant wave that spread towards his surroundings. While it resisted the first wave of mist, Wang Baole also spat out a mouthful of essence air. As he became weakened, seven to eight avatars appeared from within his body with a flick.
“You want to see who’s risking their life more with me? Explode!”
Every avatar was a part of the essence technique. After they appeared, they charged out simultaneously and self-destructed consecutively. While they resisted the sea of mist, Wang Baole’s aura rose again, and he charged out directly from the two waves of mist. Wielding the Divine Armament, he leaped up and slashed towards the Never-Ending Clan elder.
The frenzy in his eyes was like a brilliant flame, and it seemed as though it could burn the souls of the Never-Ending Clan elder and all of the surrounding cultivators.
Truly, the killing intent in his gaze made it seem like he didn’t care for his own life. It seemed like even if he died, he would drag his opponent down with him. The scariness of the gaze caused the souls of all who saw it tremble.
The gaze shook the Never-Ending Clan elder even more intensely. His expression changed, and he was about to weave hand seals with his three remaining hands. But at that moment, the devouring seed in Wang Baole’s body suddenly exploded forth, targeting the Never-Ending Clan elder. As it exploded forth, Wang Baole’s speed sharply increased as well.
The change in speed in this scene was too sudden, to the point that the Never-Ending Clan elder got a huge shock again as his soul shook. While his reaction slowed, the black eye behind Wang Baole also opened as he growled.
The moment it opened, a wave of restraining force landed!
Seemingly able to notice Wang Baole’s frenzy and killing intent this time, the Demonic Eye Art’s activation exceeded that of previous times. It was as though it was unleashing its maximum potential, and it was also as though the will within the demonic eye was also greedy for the Spirit Immortal’s life. So, as he went berserk, he grew even stronger, causing the Spirit Immortal elder’s body to be frozen for a moment.
Moreover, with the activation of Wang Baole’s devouring seed, his speed sharply increased. To him, the moment that the elder was frozen was the best time to kill him. He neared him in an instant, and the frenzy in Wang Baole’s eyes was completely ignited. He wielded the Divine Armament and slashed towards the Never-Ending Clan elder.
This slash made the heavens seemingly lose its color as the wind and clouds moved. It also gathered all of the surrounding gazes and souls. As though it was splitting the heaven and earth apart, the Divine Armament landed on the elder’s head as he struggled and screamed.
The Never-Ending Clan elder was extraordinary as well. During that dangerous breaking point, he actually cut off an arm and a head, making them self-destruct. After breaking free from his restraints, he also raised his two remaining arms to resist the falling Divine Armament. As his body trembled, he unleashed all of his cultivation. However, due to his own injuries and the continued suppression from his opponent’s cultivation, he slowly couldn’t maintain his resistance. Seeing how the Divine Armament was dropping towards his head bit by bit as Wang Baole growled, unwillingness and despair appeared in the eyes of the Never-Ending Clan elder.
“I… Hmm?” As the elder laughed bitterly, his eyes suddenly grew wide. The despair in his eyes turned into hope in an instant. His weakened cultivation seemed to be recovering at that moment. And as Wang Baole looked, the blood-colored flower on the elder’s face seemed to blur as though it was about to dissipate!
“Crap!” Wang Baole’s expression suddenly changed, and the viciousness in his gaze exploded forth. Without hesitation, his two legs self-destructed. This was the self-destruction of his essence body and affected him greatly. But, at that moment, Wang Baole couldn’t care too much about that. Using the instant boost of explosive power from the self-destruction of his two legs, he growled,
“Kill!”
“Noooooo!” The Never-Ending Clan elder let out a shrill scream, but the Divine Armament above his head landed in an instant under the new boost of power. It slashed directly from his head down to his neck and torso, actually slashing his body in half!
The remaining power spread outwards, and as rumbles sounded, the body he split into two halves collapsed and exploded. Even his Essence Soul couldn’t escape it and was slashed by the Divine Armament!
His body and soul were completely destroyed!
