Even though the ten breaths of time had passed, the fist was still unleashed. It was majestic, as if it represented the Heavens themselves. As it descended, it seemed capable of suppressing all living things. The ground quaked and fissures spread out, as did the surrounding mountains. As for the spectating Cultivators, they retreated in astonishment. As for Zhao Yameng and Kongdao, they were extremely anxious.
However, there was nothing they could do to help, nor could they participate in the battle. Actually, the level of the battle between Wang Baole and Dugu Lin had already surpassed that of Core Formation. Most likely, this was a battle between Yuanying and Dugu Lin. Other than the fact that Wang Baole could perform minor teleportation, there wasn't much else he could do.
So I still lost … Inside and outside the trial grounds, everyone watching the battle was shocked. Wang Baole lay among the shattered mountain rocks, looking at the humongous fist that was charging towards him from the sky. A bitter smile appeared on his face, but deep in his eyes, there was still a will to fight!
"I still have one more move … that I haven't used yet!" Wang Baole panted. Little Missy hadn't said a single word throughout the entire battle. However, Wang Baole knew that she wasn't asleep. She was watching him fight!
Of course, the move that Wang Baole had never used before was not Little Missy, but rather … his Essence Scabbard!!
This was the first true treasure that Wang Baole had ever forged. According to Little Missy, it was his Essence Treasure that could sever all living things. Wang Baole had been nourishing it inside of him for a very long time. Other than releasing mosquitoes, it didn't seem to have any other uses.
In fact, Wang Baole hadn't even considered using it before. But now … a cold gleam appeared in his eyes. As the Four Beast Fist bore down on him, it was only about three hundred meters away. Wang Baole's Green Lotus began to tremble violently. Vast amounts of life force poured into him, causing his injuries to heal rapidly. Because of Dugu Lin's suppression, the healing process was slow, and wasn't enough to make a full recovery. However, it was enough for Wang Baole to unleash an unprecedented move!!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole's heart burned with the desire to do battle. He let out a roar, and veins bulged out on his forehead as he slapped the rubble beneath him with his left hand. A bang rang out as the rubble exploded, he used the force of it to leap into the air. Instead of falling back, he shot forward toward the incoming Four Beast Fist!
The sight of this caused the hearts of all the onlookers to tremble. They watched as Wang Baole flew toward the Four Beast Fist like a moth drawn to a flame. None of them could say a word.
As Wang Baole attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the trial grounds, and as the Four Beast Fist was less than a hundred feet away from him, he raised his head abruptly and grabbed at his chest with his right hand!
As he made a grasping motion, a dazzling glow spread out from Wang Baole's chest, revealing the end of a scabbard. In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole let out a pained roar as he pulled the scabbard out of his body!!
The scabbard was simple and unadorned, as if it had never appeared in the world before. As soon as it appeared, the sky changed, the wind and clouds churned, and the entire trial ground shook. Even though … this was only a sixth-grade Dharmic treasure, not a Dharmic Armament, the appearance of the scabbard seemed to have triggered the entire ancient greenish-bronze sword. An indescribable aura seemed to be brewing within Wang Baole's scabbard!
Wang Baole even had a strong feeling that there was an invisible sword within the scabbard. He couldn't see it, and he wanted to pull it out, but he was always just a hair's breadth away!!
Just a hair's breadth away!
Wang Baole didn't have time to feel regret, nor did he have time to think. Without hesitation, he gave up on trying to pull out the sword. Instead, he used the scabbard as a sword and slashed at the incoming Four Beast Fist with all his might!!
The dazzling glow lasted for an instant, but it seemed to last forever. It was as if all light had disappeared at that moment. Originally, there was still light under the night sky, but now, all of it had disappeared. It was as if the swinging of the scabbard had sucked away all the light in the area, leaving only the scabbard in the sky that was about to collide with the Four Beast Fist!!
The rumbling sound was like the roar of the world, and it instantly spread throughout the entire trial ground. Violent waves of energy spread out in all directions with a force that could topple mountains and overturn seas. Wang Baole's entire body trembled, and he coughed up mouthfuls of blood. His body was suppressed by the Four Beast Fist, and he fell to the ground once again. However, he gripped the scabbard tightly in his hand, and with a ferocious expression, he resisted with all his might!!
The extremely powerful Four Beast Fist didn't collapse under the scabbard's attack, but it trembled violently, and it was unable to continue pressing down on Wang Baole's head!!
It was blocked by the scabbard!
The scabbard seemed to have amplified Wang Baole's strength, allowing him to withstand the power of the Four Beast Fist. At that moment, if one looked at it from afar, it would be a shocking scene. The majestic Four Beast Fist was only about the height of a person from the ground, and under the gigantic fist was Wang Baole, who was holding the scabbard and preventing the fist from smashing down!
He was like an incomparably hard rock that was blocking the wheel of fate. Under the crushing pressure, the wheel couldn't smoothly destroy everything!
To be able to do this was already Wang Baole's limit. His hand that gripped the scabbard was trembling, and so was the Blue Lotus inside of him. More life force exploded out than ever as it attempted to repair Wang Baole's body. At the moment, he couldn't relax for even a moment. The slightest bit of exhaustion would cause him to be crushed to pieces. All he could do was hold on.
However, it didn't take long for his body to reach its limit. Cracks appeared on his skin, and his bones began to show signs of shattering. The power of the fist crushed down on Wang Baole, making it difficult for him to breathe. His body continued to be torn apart as he tried to repair it. However, he still couldn't hold on for much longer.
Cracks appeared on his Lightning Core, and even his Dark Core. The cracks grew larger and larger. It was as if if he continued, both of his Cores would collapse. His Cultivation base would drop, and his Core Formation stage would collapse!
His consciousness was growing more and more blurry. It was as if he could hear voices, some familiar, some unfamiliar. They were all anxiously shouting at him to give up, to concede defeat!
"How could I concede defeat? My Dao won't allow me to concede defeat. My ideals won't allow me to concede defeat …. I, Wang Baole … will never concede defeat!!!" As Wang Baole roared inwardly, the cracks on his Lightning Core and Dark Core grew larger. His fleshly body, which the Blue Lotus couldn't repair in time, showed signs of collapsing.
However, in the moment when his body and Core were on the verge of collapsing, Wang Baole's will burned, and his body was being squeezed to the limit. Rumbling could be heard as … the devouring seed inside of him suddenly exploded with power!!
It wasn't absorbing power from the outside world, but rather … in this critical moment of life and death, the devouring seed began to devour the Blue Lotus. In the blink of an eye, the Blue Lotus, as well as Wang Baole's Lightning Core and Dark Core, were all swallowed up. They didn't disappear, but instead fused with the devouring seed a second time!!
The first time it fused with the Blue Lotus was when it was grafted onto the devouring seed and reached a balance. Now, in this critical moment of life and death, the devouring seed erupted with power. After absorbing everything, it seemed as if it still wasn't enough, and began to absorb Wang Baole's body. His previously rotund body was now visibly thinner. In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole appeared in the eyes of all onlookers ….
He was no longer rotund, but had completely slimmed down. His eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were bright. His slender body, coupled with the chiseled features of his face and the clothes that were obviously much too loose, made Wang Baole look extremely handsome at that moment. Perhaps it was because he was too different from before, but everyone who saw him was shocked by the sudden change in his appearance and figure. It was as if Wang Baole was extremely dazzling at that moment!
Even Zhuo Yifan, who had always been handsome in the Federation, seemed to pale in comparison. That was because … Wang Baole had something that he didn't have. He was arrogant, domineering, and had an indomitable spirit that could destroy everything!
All of this made Wang Baole's handsomeness exude a sense of evilness, and his charisma increased exponentially. Even Li Yi, who was one of the Hundred Seedlings of the Federation in the outside world, fell into a daze.
At that moment, when the devouring seed began to devour him, the devouring seed began to feed him back!
Wang Baole's cultivation level exploded instantly. His aura rose from its weak state to the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm. Then, with a boom, he broke through and stepped into the late-stage Core Formation realm!
That wasn't the end. After he entered the late-stage Core Formation realm, the devouring seed continued to feed him back. His cultivation level exploded once again. In the short span of a few breaths, it reached … the peak of the late-stage Core Formation realm. He was only a hair's breadth away from the great circle!
This scene shocked Dugu Lin and everyone inside and outside the trial grounds!
"He broke through in the middle of a battle!"
Amidst the cries of astonishment in the outside world, Wang Baole's cultivation level exploded out. All of the injuries in his body were completely healed, and the power he had lost was restored. In fact, it was far, far more powerful than before. Wave after wave of shocking aura surged out from his body, as if it were about to reach the Heavens. His hand no longer trembled as he gripped the scabbard. Then, to Dugu Lin's disbelief, Wang Baole looked up. His gaze pierced through the Four Beasts Fist and landed on Dugu Lin!
"I refuse to admit defeat!" said Wang Baole softly, his eyes bursting with the desire to do battle!
