"This Xu Yinling is really good at hiding things!"
"Hmph. Another scheming bitch who relies on her looks to subconsciously make people think she's weak. I hate people like that the most!"
"What an excellent scheme. From the looks of it, all of Xu Yinling's previous actions were to make Wang Baole stand out. That way, all of the greedy gazes focused on Wang Baole, while she secretly improved her cultivation base …."
When Xu Yinling was forced by Wang Baole to reveal her cultivation base, the onlookers immediately understood what was going on. They weren't the only ones. All of the onlookers on Celestial Fate Planet also understood what was going on.
In truth, Xu Yinling's scheme wasn't that brilliant, and it wasn't that no one could see through it. However, regardless of whether it was Xu Yinling or Wang Baole, they both needed a valid reason.
That was why the onlookers had allowed Xu Yinling to cause such a ruckus. But now that her scheme had been exposed, it couldn't be used as a valid reason. Xu Yinling was well aware of that, and because of that, her hatred for Wang Baole grew even more intense.
As for Sun Yang, his face flickered with various emotions.
Although he needed a reason to attack Wang Baole, in his heart, he hadn't paid much attention to Xu Yinling's battle prowess. Now that Xu Yinling was fighting so valiantly, Sun Yang felt like his face was on fire. The feeling of having been schemed against by someone else caused him to feel like he was on the verge of exploding.
"Wang Baole was right! She's a slut!" Sun Yang gritted his teeth as the rumbling sounds grew more intense. Wang Baole and Xu Yinling's attacks caused the ripples of Dao Stars to spread out, forcing Sun Yang to back up.
Another boom rang out, and Xu Yinling coughed up another mouthful of blood. Numerous divine abilities were reduced to paper shreds, and she fell back a few paces. Killing intent flickered in her eyes as she waved her right hand. The sound of bells rang out, and the Dao Stars behind her grew even clearer. Magical laws exploded out, transforming into massive ripples that spread out in all directions. Xu Yinling's voice suddenly rang out.
"Paper lives!"
As her words echoed in the air and the laws of the Dao Star erupted, Xu Yinling's body … began to rapidly turn into paper. The first thing to turn into paper were her hands, and as they turned into paper, an aura that was even more powerful than before began to rise from her body.
He reached a considerable height almost instantly. His aura was like a rainbow that shook the surroundings. Wang Baole's eyes shone brightly. He had battled many people after becoming a Planet realm. However, compared to Xu Yinling before him, none of his opponents could hold a candle to him!
At the end of the day, it was because Xu Yinling was a Dao Star cultivator just like him. Moreover, her cultivation base hadn't been slow in the slightest. They were both at the mid-stage Planet realm.
With the support of a Dao Star, a mid-stage Planet realm cultivator could crush most Planet realm cultivators. That was especially true now that Xu Yinling was clearly using some sort of secret magic as a trump card. As her aura erupted, a serious expression appeared on Wang Baole's face. He raised his right hand, and the Star Sealing Incantation circulated rapidly within him. The outline of the Divine Ox constellation appeared behind him.
Dao scriptures were also brewing in his heart. Just as the battle between the two of them was about to break out, a calm voice rang out from the Celestial Fate planet.
"That's enough. You two juniors, if you want to fight, then go outside the Celestial Fate planet. Don't come here to offer birthday greetings to the Esteemed Lord."
As soon as the words were spoken, the starry sky outside the Celestial Fate planet trembled. An earth-shattering aura descended, forming a shockwave that landed on the battlefield.
The expressions of all the Eternal Star realm cultivators who were fighting around them changed. Under the terrifying aura, they had no choice but to retreat. They didn't dare to continue fighting. As for Wang Baole and Xu Yinling, that was even more so. Suppressed by the aura, the illusory image of the divine bull behind Wang Baole immediately became unstable. However, the Dao Stars formed by the nine ancient stars were eager to give it a try. They seemed to be instinctively unwilling to be suppressed and wanted to erupt and fight back.
However, Wang Baole was the master of the Dao Stars, so he held the initiative. With a thought, the Dao Stars immediately dissipated, and the Star Sealing Incantation dissipated. He stood in place and clasped his hands in the direction of the Celestial Fate planet.
"Junior was rude. Please forgive me, Senior!" With that, Wang Baole lowered his head. However, he glanced at Xu Yinling out of the corner of his eye, and a profound look appeared in his eyes. He was well aware that it was unrealistic to kill Xu Yinling here. That was why he had been observing her Dao Stars.
He remembered that Xu Yinling's Dao Star was different from his. She had given up the initiative to come here. Therefore, whether or not he could successfully suppress her Dao Star was another matter altogether.
In fact, that was exactly what had happened. As Wang Baole withdrew his aura and dispersed his Dao Star, Xu Yinling trembled violently. She couldn't bear the pressure and wanted to disperse her Dao Star as well. However, her Dao Star was too proud.
That pride made it impossible for her Dao Star to be suppressed by someone else's aura. Therefore, not only did it not disperse as Xu Yinling wished, it actually shone even brighter.
Xu Yinling's expression flickered, and at the same time, a cold, displeased harrumph rang out from Celestial Fate Planet. As the harrumph rang out, the starry sky distorted, and an enormous hand materialized from within Celestial Fate Planet. It reached out to grab Xu Yinling!
As soon as the hand appeared, everyone outside the starry sky, regardless of the level of their cultivation base, felt their hearts tremble. It was as if an invisible hand were grabbing at their hearts, and they lost all ability to fight back.
"Senior!!" For the first time, intense fear appeared in Xu Yinling's eyes. She was well aware that while her Dao Star might not be affected by this hand, she wouldn't be able to withstand it. In that moment of crisis, she bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then she unleashed a secret magic to try to withdraw her Dao Star.
Perhaps it was because her secret magic was somewhat effective, or perhaps it was because her proud Dao Star didn't want to see its host perish. Because of that, the Dao Star began to disperse, unwilling to accept its fate!
As it faded away, the gigantic hand that was grabbing at them gradually grew indistinct. When it disappeared from everyone's sight, the pressure that had descended upon them also disappeared.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He looked at Xu Yinling's pale face and shook his head slightly.
"You're already under the control of others, and now you've become the slave of the Dao Star. You're in constant danger of losing control, and there's also the possibility that you'll be abandoned and replaced with another slave. Xu Yinling, oh Xu Yinling, you're on your own now. Don't provoke me again!" With that, Wang Baole no longer paid any attention to Xu Yinling. His body flickered, and he walked toward the Dao Star. Xie Haiyang followed behind him. He also turned his head to look at Xu Yinling, but he didn't say anything.
Burning Spirit, Laozu, and the others did the same. They quickly flew toward the Dao Star. As for the other stars, they returned to their Young Masters' sides. Sun Yang also looked at Xu Yinling before he left, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. It was clear that he hated Xu Yinling to the core.
As for the others who had arrived in outer space to watch the battle, they turned into long arcs of light and flew toward Celestial Fate Planet. Only Xu Yinling and her Dao protectors, who had gathered around her, remained silent. They looked at Xu Yinling's twisted face and stood behind her, unsure of what to say.
"Wang Baole!" After a long moment, Xu Yinling's complexion gradually returned to normal. Resentment and jealousy flashed in the depths of her eyes.
She was resentful because Wang Baole had exposed everything about her, including the fact that she was under the control of the Dao Star and her unstable state. She was jealous because … why did Wang Baole's Dao Star willingly recognize him as its master, while her own Dao Star required her to give up everything and beg before it could fuse with her?
"Master Zi Yue is right. There are too many injustices in this world. If I want to break free from them, if I want to control my own fate, the only way is … to plant stars in the world!" Xu Yinling closed her eyes and took out a purple jade slip from her bracelet of holding. She rubbed it repeatedly in her palm.
"Even if there are great dangers, I still … have to continue planting stars!"
