Wang Baole saw with his own eyes that as countless cultivators worshipped the continent inside the Vast Expanse Behemoth, the statue of the old man in the middle of the continent visibly changed from a statue to flesh and blood, and then opened its eyes.
At the same time, an even more intense feeling of dread suddenly spread out from the sea of light in the Never-Ending Dao Domain, along with a resonance that shook Wang Baole's body!
"This feeling …" Wang Baole turned his head abruptly. In that instant, across the cosmos and across the sea of light, he saw that within the Never-Ending Dao Domain, there were also countless cultivators who were kneeling down and worshiping!
And what they were worshipping … was a vortex!
It was a vortex that connected to some unknown place. As everyone worshipped, and as the statue of the Vast Expanse Laozu in the middle of the vortex … a piece of wood appeared!
The appearance of the piece of wood excited all the cultivators in the Never-Ending Dao Domain. Even the powerful experts were like that, and their fanaticism grew even stronger!
It was a piece of black wood that looked more like a black wooden coffin. At that moment, a foot and a half was revealed from the vortex … Although it was only a foot and a half, it caused the Cangmang Continent to tremble violently. The Vast Expanse Behemoth howled, and its body was on the verge of collapse. The Vast Expanse Laozu inside trembled and coughed up blood.
Then … the coffin emerged from within the vortex by another foot and a half. This time … the Vast Expanse Behemoth collapsed, and a miserable shriek echoed out through the starry sky. The Cangmang Continent was revealed, and all of the cultivators on the continent were screaming madly, as if they wanted to die together with the enemy.
The countless cultivators worshipping the coffin in the Never-Ending Dao Domain were clearly not having it easy. Although they were still fanatical, more than half of their life force had dimmed, as if they had lost seventy percent of their life force. It was as if the power supporting the black wooden coffin was their life force.
At that moment, they had reached their limit, and could no longer support it. They could only make the black wooden coffin extend three feet out of the vortex before they had to end the worship.
When the ritual ended and the vortex disappeared, the black wood, which was only three feet long and was clearly only a part of the complete coffin, fell to the ground as if it had broken off of itself.
As it fell, all of its might seemed to have disappeared. Only a little bit of reluctance to part with the unknown place in the vortex remained. Gradually, it became as ordinary as a piece of ordinary wood.
At that moment, Wang Baole's body trembled as he stared at the three-foot-long piece of black wood. Then, he slowly lifted his head and looked in the direction where the vortex had disappeared. It was as if countless bolts of lightning had exploded in his mind at the same time. Amidst the roaring, an unwillingness to part that seemed to have been buried deep within his soul also appeared in his mind.
The war had also reached its final stage with the madness of countless cultivators in the Vast Expanse Dao Domain. Cultivators from both sides had begun to clash with their lives. The tragic battlefield was like a giant millstone of flesh and blood, constantly rolling and crushing …
Everyone in the Vast Expanse Dao Domain had been wiped out and turned into ruins. The Laozu of the Vast Expanse had been reduced to a broken statue. After several collapses, a portion of the continent, like a ghost town, floated into the depths of the starry sky. Only then did the war finally end.
Although the Never-Ending Dao Domain had won, it had also been a tragic loss. The sea of light had been torn apart, and the universe within it had also been shattered. However, given some time, the Never-Ending Dao Domain, which had absorbed the Vast Expanse Dao Domain's resources, would definitely become even more powerful. However, just as the Never-Ending Dao Domain was attempting to chase after the last continent that the Vast Expanse Dao Domain had fled to … something unexpected happened!
It was a beam of light, a beam of purple light that was surrounded by black and red light. It was constantly dimming!
This beam of light suddenly flew over from the depths of the starry sky. Its speed was faster than anything else. Although Wang Baole was still immersed in the unwillingness to part with the black wood, he could still see a blurry figure within the beam of light.
That figure … was none other than Sun De!
In the blink of an eye, as soon as Wang Baole saw it clearly, the beam of light charged straight into the Never-Ending Dao Domain, which was on the brink of a tragic victory. The beam of light seemed to have a precise direction. As it rapidly dissipated and was about to disappear completely, it headed straight for … the three-foot-long black wooden coffin that had fallen!
It neared in the blink of an eye, sank into the black wood, and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Baole's heart trembled violently. In the depths of the starry sky, where the purple beam of light had appeared, the starry sky suddenly collapsed. An enormous figure walked out from within the collapsed starry sky, one step at a time.
The figure was incomparably tall, and his features were blurry. It was impossible to see clearly, as if his face was a universe. Only his eyes could be seen, and they were cold and emotionless.
Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing was his two arms. Although he was in human form, his arms were much longer than a normal person's. He seemed to be able to touch his knees when he stood!
He stood there, looking coldly at the shattered Never-Ending Dao Domain as if he was looking at an ant's nest. Then, his gaze landed on the three-foot-long black wood. Then, his eyes, which seemed to have never changed since ancient times, actually shrank for an instant!
At that moment, there was confusion, shock, and even disbelief in his eyes. This caused him to stand there without moving for a long while. Finally, he raised his hand, as if he wanted to grab the black wood in the Never-Ending Dao Domain. However, after he raised his hand, hesitation appeared in his eyes, and he gradually lowered it.
After a long silence, he raised his hand again. This time, he didn't grab it. Instead, he pointed at the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain, and a low voice came from his mouth.
"Seal!"
As soon as he spoke, Wang Baole immediately saw ripples silently appear around the damaged Never-Ending Dao Domain. After these ripples gathered, they seemed to form a bubble that completely enveloped the Never-Ending Dao Domain. Then, it gradually became blurry, as if it was immersed in the passage of time and was sealed forever.
However, the tall figure seemed to be worried when he looked at the sealed bubble. He actually raised his left hand again and pointed at it.
"With the finger of my left hand, seal!" His left index finger instantly broke, and it transformed into a gray light that shot straight at the bubble. After it instantly surged in, the entire bubble became turbid, as if it had transformed into a ball of dirt.
However, the tall figure didn't leave. After standing there and pondering for a moment, he spoke again.
"With my second finger …" The tall figure raised his hand and paused. After a moment of silence, decisiveness appeared in his eyes, as if he had made some sort of decision. He raised his left hand, and a low voice that seemed to be able to reverberate through the endless passage of time slowly sounded out.
"With my left hand, seal!" As soon as he spoke, his entire left arm instantly disappeared, transforming into a gray light that seemed to be able to cover the entire starry sky. It completely enveloped the sealed Never-Ending Dao Domain, causing the shape of the ball of dirt to rapidly change as the gray light fused with it. When all the gray light in the starry sky condensed, the ball of dirt turned into … a gigantic stone tablet!
Wang Baole's heart was in turmoil. He watched as the stone tablet emitted an earth-shattering pressure and slowly sank into the starry sky. It continued sinking and falling, as if it was being buried in an endless abyss.
As for the tall figure who had lost his left arm, after watching the stone tablet gradually disappear and be buried, a hint of deep loneliness appeared in his eyes. He slowly turned around and walked into the starry sky. However, at the instant his figure slowly disappeared into the starry sky, Wang Baole suddenly … heard his low voice in his ears.
"I like the universe in the second ring. It's mine.
"Do you know … what it feels like to like it?"
The tall figure only spoke these two sentences before slowly fading away. The only person left in the starry sky was Wang Baole. He stood there, looking at the place where the stone tablet had sunk, and then in the direction where Luo Fan had gone. After a long moment of silence, he began to murmur.
"Just where … did I come from?"
As his murmur echoed out, the starry sky in his eyes slowly grew blurry until … it completely disappeared. Everything that had once existed before him was replaced by Planet Destiny, the Book of Destiny, and the exhausted figure of Lord Heaven-Dharma.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to come back," said Lord Heaven-Dharma.
