Within the Earth Path World, a storm raged and howled incessantly.
There was no heaven or earth there, only endless yellow sand that filled the entire world. Within this world, the vortex formed by the blood-colored youth was extremely violent, emitting streaks of blood-colored lightning that rumbled in all directions. At the same time, the vortex also spun rapidly, trying to break through the yellow sand and shatter the world.
From afar, this blood-colored vortex looked like a huge source of pollution. While it tried to pollute everything, the surrounding void was also distorting.
Waves of terrifying fluctuations spread out from the vortex. These fluctuations were so strong that they could obliterate all Universe-Grades within the stone tablet boundary, such as Laozu and the others from the Xie Family. If they were here, they would probably go crazy and their consciousness would collapse before they could even get close.
It was just like how one couldn't look directly at a god. At this moment, the vortex had the gaze of the Emperor Lord, so … it was a god.
Even so, it was still difficult for the blood-colored youth to escape. The surrounding sand and gravel were frantically covering him, causing the blood-colored youth within the vortex to roar even more anxiously.
The reason for this was because … there was another god in this Earth Path World. That god was Wang Baole!
Within this Earth Path World, there were countless grains of sand. Every grain of sand contained Wang Baole's will, and Wang Baole's face appeared on them. At this moment, as the sand swept across, it seemed like it wanted to drown everything and bury the blood-colored vortex.
Thunderous booms reverberated in the sky as the yellow sand and the vortex clashed, causing the entire world to shake.
As the world shook, some of the sand and gravel gathered in the sky to form a figure. It was Wang Baole. He stared at the blood-colored vortex with a profound look in his eyes.
Wang Baole knew very well that if it wasn't for the gaze of the Emperor Lord, it wouldn't be difficult for him to suppress the blood-colored youth clone given his current strength. After all, the blood-colored youth wasn't at his peak anymore. After being weakened by Senior Brother Chen Qing, he was left with injuries that wouldn't heal in a short time.
Therefore, it was possible to suppress and kill him.
However, the appearance of that gaze made even Wang Baole wary. The slightest bit of carelessness could cause the entire stone tablet realm to collapse. Even if he managed to kill the blood-colored youth in the end, such an outcome wasn't what Wang Baole wanted.
He had already lost his past and future. Wang Baole didn't want to lose the Stone Tablet Boundary.
Besides … Wang Baole, who had reached his current level of cultivation, could already vaguely sense his connection with the stone tablet realm. This connection had been deeply entwined with the stone tablet realm ever since his true form had been summoned by the Never-Ending Dao Domain during the battle between the Never-Ending Dao Domain and the Vast Expanse Dao Domain, the stone tablet realm's predecessor.
This was the method of an Imperial Emperor, and it was also his way of healing.
Therefore, once the stone tablet realm collapsed, Wang Baole would be greatly affected as well.
Similarly, there was another reason why the Stone Tablet Boundary couldn't collapse. That was … the Stone Tablet Boundary was the only thread that connected him to the Emperor Lord!
Countless eras ago, the Emperor Lord was injured. The black wood nail that had appeared between his brows had almost destroyed him. However, he still thought of a way to save himself. That was to split a hundred thousand Divine Consciousnesses, form seeds, and spread them across the Multiverse.
These hundred thousand Divine Consciousnesses formed a hundred thousand worlds, which were a hundred thousand Endless Dao Domains. After they were formed, they carried out the ritual to summon the black wood. The black wood nailed between the Emperor Lord's brows was split into a hundred thousand pieces and tied to the hundred thousand Endless Dao Domains.
The goal was to use this method to destroy the suppression brought about by the black wood.
And his method of saving himself was successful. Apart from the Stone Tablet Boundary, the other 99,999 Endless Dao Domains gave birth to Never-Ending Clan members and Never-Ending Children after they were formed. They successfully devoured the entire world, including … one-hundred-thousandth of the power of the black wood.
Then, these Never-Ending Children fused with the world they were in and returned to the true Never-Ending Dao Domain. They returned to the Imperial Emperor's body and nourished him. While the Imperial Emperor's injuries were recovering, the black wooden spike that was suppressing his glabella was severely weakened.
However, even if all ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Never-Ending Dao Domains returned successfully, as long as even one failed, the black wooden nail between the Monarch's brows would never be able to be removed.
Once the black wood between the Emperor Lord's brows was destroyed, although the impact on him wasn't fatal, it would make it impossible for him to break through to a higher level. And the latter … was the reason why he was pinned by the black wood nail.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the black wood nail could be seen as a tribulation. It was a tribulation that one had to encounter if they wanted to reach the true supreme realm!
Black Wood Tribulation!
Once the Emperor Lord successfully passed the tribulation, he could break through to the next realm.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the Stone Tablet Realm reduced the possibility of him successfully passing the tribulation.
First, due to Gu and Luo, variables had appeared in the world of the stone tablet. Then, due to Wang Yiyi's father, these variables had been magnified. Of course, there were also other unknown people who had certain motives behind their actions. In the end … the evolution of the world of the stone tablet deviated from the fate that the Emperor's divine will had given it.
This led to Wang Baole's growth and the birth of his consciousness.
As such, the moment the God Monarch realized what was going on, he sent his clone over, which was the blood-red young man. To him, he had to either fix the situation so that everything would return to its original state, or destroy the Stone Tablet Realm so that the karmic connection between the God Monarch and the God Monarch would be severed.
Although the latter would cause the Emperor Lord to fail his tribulation, if he didn't, the Stone Tablet Realm … would become a fatal flaw for the Emperor Lord due to its connection with his main body.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Wang Baole's appearance meant that if the blood-colored youth failed, then no matter what he did, he would suffer a great loss.
Wang Baole seemed to be … a weapon. A weapon that would cause the Emperor Lord to be unable to complete his tribulation and create a flaw.
Although Wang Baole didn't completely understand the karmic connection, he could guess most of it. To him, no matter what, the Stone Tablet Realm couldn't be destroyed.
Therefore, what Wang Baole needed to do was to continuously weaken the power of the Emperor Lord's gaze. Using the Five Elements Cycle of Reincarnation, the gaze would gradually dissipate until it could no longer affect the Stone Tablet Realm. Then … the blood-colored youth would be completely suppressed and killed.
As for the blood-colored youth, he was naturally more aware of all of this. Therefore, he wanted to escape from the World of Water Path. In the World of Fire Path, he wanted to charge out regardless of the cost.
This was his only way out.
Either he would be suppressed by Wang Baole, or … he would charge out of the Five Elements Cycle of Reincarnation and destroy the Stone Tablet Realm. That way, even if his main body failed in his breakthrough, there wouldn't be a flaw!
His greatest regret was that he hadn't decisively destroyed the Stone Tablet Realm earlier. After all … it represented his main body's hope of breaking through. Even if he had no other choice, he didn't want to.
It was because of this attitude that things had reached this point.
Wang Baole's eyes narrowed as he looked at the Stone Tablet Realm. Suddenly, he lifted his right hand. Instantly, the Earth-Dao World began to rumble. Countless amounts of sand and gravel gathered in front of him to form an enormous hand that seemed capable of blotting out the sky. Then, it descended toward the blood-colored vortex!
