After the transmission ended, Wang Baole's expression turned suspicious. Xie Haiyang had given him a bunch of battle credits for no reason, and his words were so strange. What did he mean by 'I'll know in a moment'?
"Looks like there's a big problem." Wang Baole was deep in thought. He instinctively checked his surroundings and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Be it the Sea of Fire below or the fiery glow in the sky, everything was normal. However, he still raised his guard. After using the mission jade slip to determine the direction, he didn't hesitate and continued moving forward.
Wang Baole's Cultivation base was at the peak of the early Core Formation stage. His speed was like thunder, and the Lightning Immortal Transformation also played a big role. Wang Baole seemed to be stepping on thunder as he moved forward. His speed was so fast that he was far away in the blink of an eye.
According to the instructions in the mission jade slip, Wang Baole knew that it would take him about three years to travel from Green Fire Island to the heart of the sword buried in the sun. After all, the ancient green-bronze sword was far too big. Even the area of the sword hilt was much larger than Earth.
Therefore, he couldn't rely solely on flying. He would have to teleport several times in order to reduce the time required. Those teleportation points were all built on specific islands. Therefore, even though Wang Baole was currently heading towards the sword hinterland, he had chosen a location called Dusty Eye Island from the dozens of teleportation points available.
"Teleportation costs 100 battle credits each time … According to the mission description, I need to teleport five times … That's 500 battle credits, and another 500 to return. What a rip-off." Wang Baole muttered to himself. He checked the mission again. After confirming the location, he sped up like a bolt of lightning.
Time passed, and soon, half a month had passed. He was about three days away from the first teleportation point, Dusty Eye Island. Wang Baole was bored as he flew through the air. He took out a bag of snacks and placed a piece in his mouth. He sighed in his heart. Even though the ancient greenish-bronze sword was a holy land for cultivation and was rich in Spirit Qi, there were no snacks for sale.
This left Wang Baole feeling depressed. He could not bear to eat all of the little food he had left. Every time he craved food, he would take out a piece and keep it in his mouth. As he savored the taste of the snack, he felt as though he had returned to his hometown.
"So I'm not being greedy. I'm just homesick." Wang Baole shuddered as he realized what he was feeling. He rubbed his tummy and took a deep breath. He felt that he was rather pitiful. He couldn't help but think of a sentence that he had once read. After changing it, he muttered it.
"I'm not eating snacks. I'm eating loneliness …." Wang Baole sighed softly. He pulled out another snack and placed it in his mouth. As he slowly savored it, a small island appeared in front of him.
There were no ripples of cultivators on the island. It was obviously a deserted island. The spiritual energy on the island was about the same as the outside world. Wang Baole had seen many islands like this over the past half a month. He knew that the islands chosen by the Vast Expanse Dao Palace were mostly beneficial to cultivation. As for those that weren't, they were naturally deserted and ignored.
Even so, Wang Baole remained vigilant. He didn't plan to fly across such a deserted island. Instead, he planned to take a detour. However, just as he was getting closer to the island and was about to pass by its edge … suddenly, a ripple of array formation erupted from the island.
The ripple of array formation erupted suddenly. At the moment it erupted, rays of light shone and intertwined to form a huge hand of light. The hand of light grabbed at Wang Baole.
As the hand was about to grab him, a figure floated up from the deserted island and laughed sinisterly.
"Wang Baole, are you surprised? I've been waiting for you here for a long time! "The person who spoke was … Liang Long, who was also the Island Master of Green Fire Island like Wang Baole!
As one of the disciples of Annihilator, Liang Long had his own pride. However, including the incident at the Heavenly Questions Hall, he had suffered at the hands of Wang Baole three times. Given his personality, he couldn't accept it. However, he knew that Wang Baole's methods were strange. That was why he had tolerated it. He had waited until now to set up the array formation before making his move.
Now that he was so aggressive, his heart was filled with anticipation. He believed that no matter how strange Wang Baole's methods were, he wouldn't be able to escape the restraints of the array formation that he had spent a lot of effort to set up!
"Kneel down!" Roared Liang Long. He performed a double-handed incantation gesture, causing the hand of array formation to move even faster. It shone brightly, and seemed to be even more powerful.
It even kicked up a tempest and emanated an extraordinary pressure. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Wang Baole. Just as it was about to grab him, Wang Baole's eyes flickered coldly. If he hadn't been prepared, he would have been caught completely unprepared. However, Wang Baole had been on guard the entire time. As the hand closed in on him, Wang Baole gave a cold snort and lifted his right hand. Instantly, three different colored beams of light shot out from his bag of holding!
Crimson, green, violet!!
The moment the three rays of light flew out, they gave off an aura that shook the entire area. A powerful pressure spread out from the three rays of light. There was even a faint murderous aura. It was as if a demon god had descended, or as if a heavenly tribulation had descended. It flew directly toward the hand formed by the formation.
They moved so quickly that it was almost impossible to track them with the naked eye. The only thing that could be heard was a massive boom. As soon as the two sides slammed into each other, a huge boom filled the air.
The boom was so loud that it sent out a massive shockwave that shook the entire wasteland. Even the lava in the area was sent tumbling away, sending waves of flames into the air. The hand of array formation couldn't withstand the force of the shockwave, and shattered into pieces.
The three beams of light didn't stop after piercing through the hand of array formation. They continued on toward the wasteland. From a distance, they looked like three auroras that could destroy space itself. They shot toward Liang Long, whose face was filled with disbelief and shock. He even let out a hoarse cry of alarm. The beams of light closed in on him, as if they would slice through anything in their path.
"What Enchanted Treasure is this?!"
In that moment of crisis, Liang Long was overwhelmed with shock. His scalp went numb, and his mind was in turmoil. He didn't have time to think or dodge. His eyes were bloodshot. With a roar, he tore off the jade slip hanging around his neck and crushed it. Instantly, a huge screen of light that looked like a tortoise shell appeared in front of him.
"This again? Do you really think that I can't do anything to you? I only held you captive because there were too many people watching that day. " Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. What he said was the truth. In truth, even though he couldn't shatter the tortoise shell, he could use his full strength to break the connection between Liang Long and the tortoise shell. However, on Green Fire Island, breaking the tortoise shell would be useless. If he really killed Liang Long there, Annihilator would definitely be furious.
But here … things were a little different. Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, formed a seal with both hands, and pointed. Instantly, the three beams of light stopped in midair and revealed their true forms. They were … three flying swords of different colors!
They were the tri-colored flying swords that Wang Baole obtained from the leader of the extraterrestrial Yuanying!
As Liang Long formed a seal, the tri-colored flying swords suddenly exploded with a fierce aura. They seemed to be even more imposing than before. They instantly shot toward Liang Long's tortoise shell. They were so fast that they touched the shell in an instant. The sturdy tortoise shell lasted less than ten breaths under Liang Long's roar before it began to crack. However, the shell wasn't ordinary. It showed signs of recovering in an instant.
Wang Baole frowned. His body flickered as he closed in. He lifted his right hand, and the Green Lotus inside of him swayed. His Thunder Core, Heart Core, and Dark Core all began to rotate and converge on his right hand. A domineering will emanated from Wang Baole. He took a step forward, unleashed the Supernova, and punched out!!
The punch shook Heaven and Earth. It transformed into a black hole that seemed capable of swallowing everything. It slammed into Liang Long's tortoise shell. Combined with the power of the tri-colored flying swords, the tortoise shell began to tremble. If Liang Long's Cultivation base had been high enough, he might have been able to hold on. However, he obviously couldn't fully control the tortoise shell. Unable to withstand the backlash, his spiritual energy was cut off, and the tortoise shell spun backward and slammed into Liang Long's body!
Along with the explosion, a shockwave spread out in all directions. Blood sprayed out of Liang Long's mouth, and he tumbled backward like a kite with its string cut. His expression was one of incomparable terror. Clearly, he had never imagined that Wang Baole's battle prowess would be so shocking.
"Wang Baole," said Liang Long anxiously, "don't you dare kill me! I have the Life Chaser on me. If you kill me, or lead some other entity to kill me, my Master will be able to sense it immediately. He might even be able to reverse time and find out who did it!!"
"Kill you? Why would I want to kill you? " Wang Baole pulled out a rope and smiled evilly. However, when Liang Long saw it, his heart suddenly began to pound, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"W-what … what are you doing!?!?"
