Never-Ending Dao Domain, Destiny Star System, Destiny Planet.
Originally, the trial mist had been divided into more than a hundred thousand small regions, each of which had cultivators. But now … more than half of them were empty.
Almost half of the trial takers, after experiencing the enlightenment of their previous lives, didn't have the chance to experience their second life. For various reasons, they had no choice but to give up on this opportunity.
Some of them couldn't handle the enlightenment of their previous lives, and their bodies were drained. Although their gains were not small, their souls seemed to have reached a limit, and it was irreversible.
Some of them could handle it, but were attacked by people with malicious intent, using their family background, their battle prowess, or their wealth to rob them. Faced with such a situation, they had no choice but to send out their remaining Guiding Lights. Without them, they would be teleported out of the trial by fire in their next life.
As for the remaining half of the trial takers, it was difficult for them to escape these two paths. They lost their qualifications on the second and third days. Overall, although the fourth and fourth lives were still ongoing, ninety percent of the cultivators had already returned to the outside world.
Therefore, in the outside world, the thirty-nine Primeval Beasts were densely packed with cultivators. Some were discussing in low voices, some were gritting their teeth, and some were absorbed in their own gains.
However, without exception, they all split a portion of their minds and focused on the billowing white mist above the volcanic island.
Because of the difference in the flow of time, the four days inside the white mist didn't seem very long to the people outside. Therefore, everyone was waiting … waiting to see who would be able to gain enlightenment of their previous ten lives!
While everyone was waiting, on the island above the crater, Heavenly Spell Lord, who was sitting in the center, slightly opened his eyes and looked at the fog above. His eyes were deep, as if they contained the vicissitudes of life that could not be dissipated after countless years.
After a few breaths of time, he softly asked, "How many days has it been?"
"Master, it's already the fourth day," replied the powerful old servant, who was also an almighty figure from the Domain of Stars.
"The fourth day, huh …" Lord Heavenly Spell mumbled to himself. After that, he fell silent and didn't say anything else. At the same time, within the fog, in the many open areas around Wang Baole, numerous figures were rushing towards him.
These figures were all trial takers, and there were over a hundred of them. Their eyes were lifeless, as if they were puppets. But the strange thing was that although they were fast, they were silent.
Behind the hundred cultivators were two figures within the fog. They were about thirty meters away from each other, and could only vaguely be seen as they stared at each other.
"Since you've found his location, why are you willing to give up on his Dao Star so that I can kill him?" asked one of the figures. His voice was cold, and filled with arrogance.
"The Sound Spirit knows that he already has a Dao Star, so he doesn't need any more. Besides, the Sound Spirit understands his own value, and knows how to act appropriately. He won't be overly greedy, so I don't want his Dao Star!"
"The reason I have to kill him is because of my personal reasons. What …? You're the Seventh Dao Child of the number one heterodox sect, the Nine Provinces Path. Could it be that you're worried that this is a trap? Or could it be that you're afraid of Wang Baole? "The person who spoke was a woman. It was none other than Xu Yinling.
"You don't need to use such childish words to provoke me. I must obtain his Dao Star. What about you guys? What do you want?" The Seventh Dao Child of the Nine States Path spoke indifferently. His gaze swept towards the other side of the fog.
As he did, a figure appeared within the fog. As he walked out, the figure became clearer. It was … the Seventeenth Dao Child of the Seven Spirits Path!
"And Your Highness, since you're here, why don't you show yourself?!" The Seventh Dao Child looked coldly at the Seventeenth Dao Child of the Seven Spirits Path, then turned and looked off into the fog.
Instantly, the fog began to churn, and the ninth disciple of Divine Emperor Jiga walked out. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and he spoke in a low voice.
"I just want him dead!"
"Me too!" the Seventeenth Dao Child of the Seven Spirits Path said in a low voice.
This time … the reason all three of them were here at the same time was because Xu Yinling had somehow found them and told them where Wang Baole was cultivating in seclusion. When they had first entered, the Seventeenth Dao Child of the Seven Spirits Path and the ninth disciple of Divine Emperor Jiga would have disdained to join forces.
But now, after experiencing the confrontation with Wang Baole, they were deeply shocked by Wang Baole's strength. They knew very well that they would not be a match for Wang Baole if they fought alone.
That was why they had hit it off and joined forces for this short period of time. The two of them knew very well that if they did not suppress Wang Baole now, once he gained more insight into his past life, they would be nothing more than ants in his eyes.
At the end of the day, Wang Baole's rate of growth was something they feared to the extreme.
As for the Seventh Dao Child of the Nine States Path, although he didn't know much about it, he was no fool. He could guess at some of the answers. Although it was inevitable that he would be used, he didn't care. What he wanted was the Dao Star! As for the rules, he had plenty of ways to circumvent them!
"Let's go!" Therefore, when he saw the two of them appear, his body flickered, and he followed behind the hundreds of cultivators in the direction of Wang Baole's location.
The Seventeenth Dao Child of the Seven Spirits Path, the ninth disciple of Divine Emperor Jiga, and Xu Yinling all rushed out, heading straight for Wang Baole's secluded meditation area.
After the space of about ten breaths, the cultivators who had been the first to fly toward Wang Baole's secluded meditation area arrived. Their eyes were dim and lifeless, as if they had lost their minds. They didn't pause for even a moment. They burst out of the mist, and as soon as they appeared … they saw Wang Baole sitting cross-legged in the middle of the open area, his eyes closed.
Surrounding Wang Baole were more than ten other cultivators who were also sitting cross-legged. As soon as they appeared, their eyes snapped open.
There was no exchange of words. The moment both parties met each other's gazes, an intense battle erupted. Hundreds of cultivators charged towards Wang Baole's avatars. Deafening booms reverberated in the air, rumbling in all directions and causing the surrounding fog to tremble.
Of course, the situation was in Wang Baole's favor. Although there were more than a hundred cultivators present, their overall strength was insufficient. Although they had spread out to attack one of his clones, the difference in battle prowess made it so that the ambush didn't have much of an effect.
After all, although they had lost their minds, that was why they didn't fear death. Even the slightest touch would cause them to self-detonate!
Furthermore, even if they were weak, they were still Planet realm cultivators. Furthermore, anyone who had come to offer birthday wishes to Lord Heavenspell was no weakling. Therefore, the power of their self-detonation was terrifying.
That was especially so because … this was where Wang Baole was in seclusion. If he were to self-destruct here while still in the midst of enlightenment, he would be greatly affected. And that … was the first wave of Xu Yinling's plan!
As the cultivators self-detonated, Wang Baole's clones had no choice but to retreat. His main body also seemed to be trembling from the shockwaves of the self-detonation. Just as the situation was getting more intense and Wang Baole's main body was trembling, a figure suddenly descended from the mist above.
It was a burly man … He wasn't one of the four masterminds, but one of Xu Yinling's subordinates. He was the strongest seed planted in the trial grounds. Although he wasn't as famous as the other three, his battle prowess was already at the peak of the Planet realm. Coupled with the supreme treasure that Xu Yinling had given him, this burly man … looked like a god descending from the heavens!
"Die!"
With a low roar, the burly man wielded a battle axe that glowed with white light. He swung the axe down at Wang Baole's head, which was sitting cross-legged in meditation. The momentum of the axe was so great that it shook the heavens and earth. It even created a violent shockwave that caused the surrounding cultivators to stop in their tracks.
However, even as they stopped moving and the burly man roared and swung the axe down … the trembling Wang Baole's eyes suddenly snapped open!
It was impossible to describe the look in his eyes. His pupils were crimson, and his expression was twisted with endless madness. When all of this was combined together, one word involuntarily appeared in the minds of those who saw it!
Resentment!
It was the ultimate resentment, a hatred that overflowed to the heavens, and the blood of madness!
It was … an outburst of boundless, unbridled resentment directed at the entire world, the entire universe, and all living things!
