At the same time, whistling sounds could be heard from the distant sky. Kongdao and Zhao Yameng's figures gradually appeared. The two of them were already moving very quickly. In fact, Zhao Yameng had even activated the power of the compass array formation, causing her speed to explode for a short period of time. Only then did she manage to rush over with Kongdao.
As they approached, the two of them saw Lu Song and the other two trembling on the ground. Their faces were filled with fear. When they realized that the three of them were all in the mid-Core Formation realm, and one of them was even at the peak of the mid-Core Formation realm, not far from the late-Core Formation realm, Zhao Yameng was shocked. She looked at Wang Baole.
Even though they knew that Wang Baole was very strong, the two of them were still shocked by Wang Baole's combat strength. There was no doubt that he was able to severely injure three people of the same cultivation level in such a short period of time. This was beyond the ordinary definition of strength.
Only someone in the late-Core Formation realm or even the Great Circle of the Core Formation realm could do this.
As for Kongdao, although he had witnessed the battle between Wang Baole and the stone bat statue in the cave abode in the sea of fire, he had been pushing the stone door with all his might. He couldn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the stone statue was an inanimate object. It was different from a living person. Therefore, he was shocked.
Seeing that Zhao Yameng and Kongdao were approaching, Wang Baole smiled. He raised his right hand and grabbed at the air in the direction of the three people on the ground. He took their storage bracelets and spoke calmly.
"Now, the three of them are considered invisible in the map. However, their legs are broken, and they don't have any storage bracelets. They can only lie here. It's useless even if they are invisible!" With that, Wang Baole threw the storage bracelets and the other two keys to Zhao Yameng.
"Let's go. Let's move on to the next target!" With that, Wang Baole turned around and walked into the distance.
Zhao Yameng looked at Wang Baole strangely. Then, she looked at the three Vast Expanse Dao Palace disciples who were trembling and not daring to say a word. She shook her head and smiled bitterly as she followed behind him.
Kongdao also took a deep breath. After realizing how strong Wang Baole was, he suddenly felt that not only was it possible for the Federation to enter the top three in this trial, but it was also not small!
After the three of them left, the three disciples of Annihilator's faction on the ground finally let out sighs of relief. They looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes, as well as the shock that they still couldn't calm down.
"Is he really the Federation … cultivator, Wang Baole?"
"He's clearly in the middle stage of the Core Formation realm, but his battle prowess … I'm afraid that he wouldn't lose out to a personal disciple!"
"In the past … we underestimated the Federation cultivators! This Wang Baole is too strong! " The three of them smiled bitterly. They knew that they had been eliminated. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions as they struggled to sit up. Thinking about the previous battle, they still felt a lingering fear. Hence, they remained silent and waited for the teleportation to arrive in a few hours.
At the same time, Wang Baole and the other two, who had left the area, were also silent as they sped away. After a long while, Zhao Yameng rubbed her forehead. She still felt that even if they were strong, there was still a need to make necessary calculations. This would increase their chances of winning. Hence, after pondering for a while, she looked at Wang Baole.
"Baole, we should stay away from the crowd and avoid trouble. We also have to be careful of those invisible people. Not all invisible people have lost their battle prowess. These people are hunters to a certain extent."
"Yameng!" Wang Baole stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Zhao Yameng. His expression was serious and solemn as he spoke slowly.
"In the face of absolute power, all calculations are futile. The rules of this trial by fire are secondary. You don't have to pay too much attention to the rules. If this were the Federation, I would do the same as you. I would choose to pay the smallest price for the greatest benefit. Although the Federation has entered the Spirit Inception Era, it hasn't been that long. There are still laws binding us Cultivators. The rules haven't collapsed yet!
"But this is the ancient green-bronze sword …. This is the true world of Cultivation! I've already thought it through …. Running away won't solve the problem. The strong prey on the weak. In the end … it all depends on power!
"I might not be able to turn invisible, but I'm still a hunter!" With that, Wang Baole's gaze grew even sharper. He lifted his right hand and pointed at the map in the night sky.
"There are seven keys about five hundred kilometers away from us. I'll take you there to get them!"
Upon hearing Wang Baole's words, Zhao Yameng's heart trembled violently. She admitted that she cared too much about the rules. After all, array formations were also a type of rule. She didn't think that her analysis was useless. However, she respected Wang Baole's choice, so she remained silent.
Kongdao listened to the conversation between Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng from the side. He felt that Wang Baole was right and that Zhao Yameng's choice was reasonable, so he spoke with a wry smile.
"Baole, we already have six keys. It's enough for us to last for three days. Why don't … we wait for the first teleportation before making a decision?"
Wang Baole didn't reply immediately. He looked up at the night sky and thought about Kongdao's suggestion in his mind. He also thought about what Zhao Yameng had said previously. After a while, determination appeared in his eyes. He shook his head and spoke slowly with his back to the two of them.
"Yameng, the rules of this trial are extremely complicated and have too many changes. Under such a premise, even if you and Kongdao work together, you still won't be able to analyze it to the point where you won't miss anything. It's impossible to grasp the whole picture and calculate all the details!
"That's because there are variables here. Those invisible people on the map are moving and can't be accurately calculated. Even if I were to work together, I still wouldn't be able to calculate it. However, I know one thing … Strength can overcome ten tricks. The strong are respected!
"I won't think about scheming or ponder over the rules. I only remember one thing, and that is to move forward with indomitable will. I don't care about invisible people, and I don't even care about how many keys I have, because I also don't care about the rules of this trial!
"If I want to get into the top three, it's simple … I have to get all the keys I can see and eliminate all the people I meet. Then, I will naturally be in the top three, and I will even be the first!
"I know that you're worried that this will cause public anger, but even if everyone works together in the end, so what? The people outside are watching us. If we really do this, it will prove the value of the cultivators of the Federation!
"This is what I think. Only the weak are bound by the rules. Only by breaking the rules and setting the rules will we have the right to become the strong!" Wang Baole's voice was calm, but as the words left his mouth, his Cultivation base began to rotate on its own. His technique resonated with his will, and once again, the ripples and aura of resonance began to emanate out from him!
In fact, this time, it was even more intense than the previous two times. It had already formed an imposing aura that caused a tempest to spring up around him. It was both domineering and awe-inspiring. It seemed to press forward with indomitable will, filled with sharpness, like the edge of a blade that could slice through anything that stood in its way!
This time, the imposing aura was very obvious, and both Zhao Yameng and Kongdao could sense it at the same time. Kongdao's breathing suddenly stopped, and his mind began to tremble uncontrollably. He looked at Wang Baole's back, and his mind was in turmoil. He finally understood why, despite his murderous aura, he still couldn't match up to Wang Baole's. He was used to hiding in the shadows, and what he lacked … was the domineering aura that only Chosen could possess!
"Cultivators must fight with others, fight with the Heavens, and face difficulties head-on. That is what it means to defy the Heavens. That is the only way to press forward with indomitable will. If you don't perish, you will definitely be able to create a new Great Dao!"
Zhao Yameng was also in a daze. She looked at Wang Baole's back, and her eyes shone with enlightenment. Even as the two of them were gaining enlightenment, the map in the night sky suddenly began to change!
On the map, far off in the northwest, there were four keys clustered together. They appeared to be held by three or four people, but it was more likely that they were all in the possession of one person!
He was like a straight line as he sped through the air. Everywhere he passed, the other keys would disappear and converge on him. Because of that, the original four keys continued to increase. In a short period of time, there were now dozens of keys!!
It was as if an invisible vortex had formed in the area where the dozens of keys were. It spread out in all directions, causing a chain reaction. As more keys disappeared, they were replaced by new ones. This meant that those who had lost their keys had already begun to fight for them.
At the same time, the dozens of keys that were clustered together moved with incomparable speed. They seemed capable of crushing everything in their path, causing the number of keys to increase. If one person really did have dozens of keys, then as of this moment ….
The feeling that this person gave all the Cultivators watching the map was that he possessed an aura as powerful as a rainbow. He was incomparably domineering, with an indomitable will that defied the Heavens!!
Zhao Yameng and Kongdao could sense that feeling even more intensely. That was because … the aura emanating from the dozens of keys in the northwest was exactly the same as Wang Baole's aura from moments ago!!
He disdained to hide, and completely disregarded the rules!
Zhao Yameng's mind trembled. She turned to look at Wang Baole, and her heart filled with enlightenment. "If there's only one person in the northwest, then … he's a true Chosen!!"
When Wang Baole noticed what was happening on the map, his eyes began to shine like stars. A smile broke out on his face, and his body began to emanate an intense desire to do battle!
"Now that's my opponent!"
