His unwillingness to accept defeat was due to his pride. In his eyes, Wang Baole was just a junior, and his cultivation base was only in the Star Domain Realm.
Even though he knew many secrets about the World of the Stone Steles, and could see that Wang Baole's Dao was different, he still could not accept the fact that he had been defeated twice in a row.
That was especially true now. His fleshly body had been remodeled by the precious treasure Laozu had given him, which made his Dao even more perfect. His cultivation base was higher than before, and because of the fusion with the precious treasure, it was as if a door had been opened for him. It was as if he could see his future path, and vaguely, he was about to find the direction of his breakthrough.
But now … everything had turned to ash. Wang Baole was growing at an unimaginable speed. In the previous battle, he had been able to fight him to the death. But now … everything was just a divine ability!
The palm formed by the Dao of Wood contained boundless power. Even if his own Dao of Wood could resist it for a while, it wouldn't be able to last for too long without a source of energy.
Therefore, even though he was unwilling to accept defeat, his heart was filled with bitterness.
"This is not my destiny!" Di Shan laughed bitterly. His eyes were no longer filled with madness. Instead, they were filled with bleakness. He stood there in the starry sky, as if he had forgotten to fight back.
He now understood that the difference between him and Wang Baole … was too great.
However, this dispirited mood only occupied his mind for a few breaths of time before it was forcefully dispelled. This was because he saw that within his body, which was on the verge of shattering, there were bursts of earthy yellow light that were constantly spreading out and floating in the starry sky around him. They were like different kinds of starlight, but they were also very bright.
It was just like his life!
It was not perfect, but it was wonderful.
Since that was the case … why would he regret dying?
The bleakness in Di Shan's eyes disappeared. He threw his head back and laughed. His body suddenly burst into flames, and he charged toward Wang Baole. He was like a moth flying into a flame!
Wang Baole stood at his spot, gazing at Di Shan's arrival. He saw the dimness in the other's eyes, but he also saw the light that was rising again. He also felt … Di Shan's will to die at this moment.
In that instant, a furious roar suddenly rang out from the void in the distance.
"Wang Baole, you dare to kill my Divine Emperor? This old man will annihilate your Federation!"
However, even as the words left his mouth, the ripples of the Underworld Dao grew stronger. It was as if Chen Qing was attacking from somewhere in the Void. Although there was no rumbling sound, Endless Laozu's voice pierced through the Void and echoed in all directions.
"Chen Qing, if Di Shan dies, the war between our two sects will erupt!"
"It doesn't matter!" The reply to Endless Laozu was Chen Qing's calm voice. Then, boundless ripples spread out in all directions, shaking the entire Never-Ending Clan.
Wang Baole remained silent. He stared at Di Shan, who was charging towards him like a shooting star. He raised his foot and stepped towards Di Shan. He traversed the cosmos and appeared before Di Shan at an unbelievable speed. He didn't wait for Di Shan to unleash his full power. He raised his right hand and pointed at Di Shan's face.
"Waning Moon!"
It was not a water moon, but a waning moon.
It did not step into the river of time. Instead, it caused Di Shan to return to several dozen breaths of time!
Supported by Wang Baole's Dao of Wood, the Waning Moon was unleashed by the Dao of Wood. At this moment, the Dao of Time filled the air. Di Shan's body involuntarily retreated. Everything was going against the flow of time!
Only Wang Baole's body did not go against the flow of time. Instead, he took another step and appeared in front of Di Shan, who had returned to several dozen breaths of time. He raised his right hand and plunged it into Di Shan's chest. His wrist sank into Di Shan's body, and he clenched his fist.
As he clenched his fist, the brownish-yellow dots of light emanating from Di Shan's body flickered. In the next moment, Wang Baole's right hand, which had plunged into Di Shan's chest, turned into a black hole. The scattered dots of light were all sucked back in.
At the same time, the source of the brownish-yellow dots of light was also sucked in …. All of this takes a long time to describe, but actually happened in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, Wang Baole withdrew his right hand from Di Shan's chest.
As he did so, Di Shan's body was like a deflated balloon. It instantly withered and turned into ash. Only his soul remained. It looked at Wang Baole and his right hand with an incomparably complicated expression.
There was now something else in Wang Baole's right hand!
It was a palm-sized, brownish-yellow clump of dirt!
Vast ripples spread out from the clump of dirt. Anyone who looked at it would feel as if they were looking at the world, the Heavens, the Earth, and the entire starry sky!
There was also an Qi that seemed to come from the same source as the Universe. It could not be concealed as it spread out from the clump of dirt. Even though Wang Baole had been mentally prepared, his expression still changed, and his pupils constricted.
As soon as he touched it, he understood the origin of this object. However … its origin was beyond his expectation. In fact, this time, he said that he was here to establish his prestige. However, this was not the main point. It was just a facade.
His true goal was to obtain this item.
This was a plot. It had been laid when Wang Baole had first injured Di Shan. Di Shan was a Divine Emperor. He had an exceptional temperament and talent. Therefore, after his physical body had been destroyed, the Never-Ending Patriarch would definitely find a way to heal him. The Mountain Dao and the Earth Dao were of the same origin. Therefore, there was a high chance that the Never-Ending Patriarch would use the Earth Dao treasure that Wang Baole had sensed.
Wang Baole had guessed correctly. That was why he had made use of the suppressive force of his breakthrough to come here. However, he hadn't expected the Earth Dao supreme treasure to be even more extraordinary than he had imagined.
The only object that could resonate with the Universe and make people feel as if they were looking at the Heavens and Earth was … the stone tablet!
The stone tablet that sealed the Universe!
This object was made of the stone tablet. To be more precise, this object … was a part of the stone tablet!
Wang Baole did not know how the Never-Ending Clan had obtained this object. However, at this moment, his emotions were stirred. He clenched the clay in his hand tightly. When he looked up, he saw Di Shan's complicated expression.
"Why didn't you kill me?!"
Wang Baole did not speak. Instead, he looked back into the void. Whether it was out of admiration for Di Shan or because of Chen Qing, he had chosen to spare Di Shan's life in the end.
"Chen Qing, what exactly … are you thinking?" Wang Baole murmured in his heart. He sighed inwardly and then slowly spoke.
"Senior Never-Ending Clan, I am not here to establish my prestige. I am here to demand an explanation from the Never-Ending Clan for invading the Federation for no reason and preventing me from unifying the Heterodox Dao.
"Today, I have already taken this explanation. Senior, if you feel resentment, you can come to the Heterodox Dao to find me. The Heterodox Dao … will not change its neutral position." With that, Wang Baole cupped his fists and bowed. Then, he walked into the stars. As he left, the aura of the Nether Dao slowly dissipated. When Wang Baole's figure disappeared from the Never-Ending Clan's domain, Wei Yangzi's figure appeared in the Never-Ending Clan's domain.
"Chen Qing … Wang Baole …" Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he forced himself to suppress it in the end.
"The time is not yet right … Soon, it will be time!" After a moment, Wei Yangzi closed his eyes. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept away the dim Di Shan's spirit and disappeared.
In the Heterodox Sacred Region, Laozu of the Seven Spirits Sect sighed. He had been prepared to move, but in the end, the fight did not happen. At this moment, Wang Baole was also prepared. He only stopped when he stepped into the Heterodox Sacred Region and looked back at the Never-Ending Sacred Region.
"What is Wei Yangzi … waiting for?" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. After a long silence, he looked in another direction. That was … the Dark Sect's entrance to this part of the galaxy.
"Chen Qing … Will I ever have the chance to call you … Senior Brother in this lifetime …" Wang Baole felt conflicted. Because of his Master, he had broken off relations with Chen Qing.
But after that, Chen Qing had helped him several times. Wang Baole was not a heartless person. How could he not be moved by this?
After a moment, Wang Baole sighed softly and walked toward the solar system. And in the direction where he had been looking, at the Dark Sect's entrance, Chen Qing's figure walked out of the void. He was dressed in black, holding a wooden sword, and a jug of wine.
He stood there, also looking … in the direction of the Heterodox Sacred Region.
Gradually, a warm smile appeared on his cold face.
"You've grown up and can protect yourself. I'm truly relieved. Next … it's my turn!" Chen Qing muttered to himself. As he looked at the Never-Ending Clan, his smile disappeared. An icy aura filled the air!
