The former Vast Expanse Star System, the former Vast Expanse Dao Star, had become a thing of the past with the arrival of the Never-Ending Clan many years ago. The flourishing star had also turned into a wasteland.
As far as the eye could see, the sky was no longer clear. Instead, it was gray. If one had the ability to look carefully, they would discover that there were countless tiny gray beetles in the gray fog. These beetles were so large that they could not be seen with the naked eye. They filled the sky of the Vast Expanse Dao Star, and there was no end to them.
Any life form that tried to leave or enter without a special token would instantly be drilled into the body of these beetles. Even if one's cultivation was at the Planet realm, it would be useless. They would be completely devoured.
After all, this was formed by the remnant aura of one of the Never-Ending Clan's Godly Kings. Even though this Godly King had left due to the collapse of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, his aura still formed an existence that was similar to a restriction.
At the same time, the green mountains and rivers on the ground had become bare mountains and black liquid. Whether it was the forests or the cities, they all turned into ruins. Countless mutated ferocious beasts scattered by the Never-Ending Clan were wreaking havoc here. At the same time, a huge cone-shaped Dharma artifact, like a divine weapon, exuded a destructive aura and pierced into the mountain gate of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace!
It directly split the once huge mountain peak in half. Amidst the ruins of countless huge rocks and pavilions, this huge cone-shaped Dharma artifact kept flashing with a demonic light.
There were a total of nine Dharma Artifacts like this on this planet!
They all pierced into the ground, and with the main planet as the center, they were extracting the origin power of the entire Vast Expanse Star System.
Due to the array formation of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, the star system was like a huge net, and the main planet was the center. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the heart. Therefore, the extraction here would affect the entire star system.
Around these huge cone-shaped Dharma artifacts were a large number of Never-Ending Clan cultivators. Many of them were even patrolling. Their mission was to exterminate the remnants of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
At the same time, ancient war chariots could be seen whizzing past from time to time in the sky. Many Never-Ending Clan powerhouses stood on the war chariots and looked down at the ground coldly.
It could be said that desolation, indifference, and cruelty were the main themes of this world. Although there were still people from the Dao Palace who resisted under this main theme, they were insignificant. They could only watch as this planet, this galaxy, slowly withered until it died and was plucked by the Never-Ending Clan Godly King as a specimen.
They were powerless to change anything, and yet they continued to struggle and fight for the rest of their lives. That … was the will of the people on the main planet of the Vast Expanse.
At that moment, on the main planet of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, in a ruin some distance away from the main gate of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, teleportation ripples suddenly appeared. The ripples appeared extremely quickly and disappeared in an instant. As a result, Wang Baole's figure descended without being detected by the Never-Ending Clan.
As soon as he appeared, before Wang Baole could get used to the environment, Little Missy's anxious and hurried voice sounded in his mind.
"Get down, quick!"
Wang Baole's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively fell to the ground. At the same time, Little Missy's figure quickly appeared. She formed a hand seal and pointed. Instantly, she and Wang Baole were enveloped in a cloud of fog, becoming one with their surroundings.
As soon as all this was done, a war chariot came rumbling down from the heavens. When it was in midair, a Never-Ending Clan cultivator appeared on the war chariot. It was obvious that this person wasn't very old. He wore gray armor, had six arms, and three heads. His armor was damaged in many places, but his eyes were cold and indifferent.
Clearly, this was a Never-Ending Clan cultivator with rich combat experience. At that moment, his six eyes constantly scanned the ground. Then, he carefully studied the surroundings for a long time, even scanning the void around them, before finally leaving.
Even after he left, Wang Baole didn't dare to move. In fact, although Little Missy had shrouded him in fog, his vision wasn't obstructed. He could see everything in the sky clearly. Naturally, he also saw that the Never-Ending Clan cultivator exuded an aura that was even stronger than Feng Qiuran's. This aura … was that of a Soul Conduit!
After waiting for another five minutes, just as Little Missy was about to move, Wang Baole's eyes flashed, and he quickly spoke in his mind.
"Don't move. Wait for another hour!"
When Little Missy heard this, she fell silent once again. Just like that, another long moment passed. When it was almost an hour later, the war chariot that had left earlier suddenly returned. It swept its gaze over its surroundings and the land before it lifted one of its hands to form a seal. Instantly, an illusory map appeared before it.
This map was a projection of the area. After comparing it with the map and confirming that there were no differences, the Never-Ending Clan cultivator turned around and left for real.
One could imagine that if Wang Baole had left just now and made the slightest mistake, causing the place they were hiding in to change slightly after they left, they would have been discovered. And once that was discovered … the consequences would be dire.
Hence, after waiting for a while, Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief and indicated that Little Missy could remove the concealment. At the same time, without Wang Baole saying anything, Little Missy formed a hand seal and cast a spell on the place they were hiding in so that there wouldn't be any differences. After that, Wang Baole smiled bitterly.
"Little Missy, this place is too dangerous …"
"Don't worry, I'll help you with this mission. There won't be any problems … Now, I'm going to extract some of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace's Origin Source Laws from this planet and temporarily cover your body. It can change your appearance and make you look like a Never-Ending Clan member. Because of the support of the laws here, no one below the Planet realm will be able to see through it!" Little Missy spoke quickly. This was also one of the reasons why she was confident that Wang Baole could complete the mission.
If they were on another planet, given her current state, she wouldn't be able to do this. However, this was the main planet of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. With her status in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, she could do this. Moreover, even if this place was in ruins, she would still be familiar with it.
As she spoke, without waiting for Wang Baole to speak, Little Missy formed a hand seal with both hands and pressed them on the ground. The ground didn't tremble, but traces of starlight seeped out from the ground. It was as if the light source wasn't very dim, so the starlight that was extracted was very weak. After a long while, it formed into a ball the size of a fist.
The moment Wang Baole saw this ball of light, Wang Baole's heart trembled. It was as if he saw countless figures of cultivators and countless spells. He even saw countless threads among the spells and figures that connected everyone and all the spells. More accurately, different spells were formed by different threads.
Wang Baole couldn't see anything deeper. That one glance was the limit, and it caused his mind to buzz. At the same time, Little Missy quickly pressed the ball of light between Wang Baole's eyebrows.
Instantly, Wang Baole's body trembled violently. His body swelled and changed continuously. In the span of a few breaths, his body grew much taller. Two heads appeared on both sides of his neck, and four more arms grew around his body.
Even Wang Baole found this scene unbelievable. Little Missy disappeared and returned to the mask. Then, she gave Wang Baole instructions in his mind.
"You can only transform up to this point. Kid, your reaction is fast. Don't give yourself away. The Never-Ending Clan doesn't talk much. I can understand their language, so I'll translate for you. Now, follow my instructions.
"Don't worry. I know that there's a secret passage not far from here that leads to the bottom of the ruins of the Dao Palace's mountain gate. The item that your mission requires is there. At the same time, the place where the scabbard is refined is also there!"
"She's the one who wants that stone slab, right …" Wang Baole smiled bitterly. If he still didn't understand by now, he wouldn't be a Secondary Rank Two Noble of the Federation. Clearly, Little Missy had used some method to change the mission for this trial. The stone slab wasn't needed for the trial of the fifth palace, but for Little Missy herself.
That was why he came here this time and was given the benefit of refining the scabbard. But now that things had come to this, Wang Baole took a deep breath. He thought that if he didn't trick her now, he would be letting himself down. Therefore, he spoke to Little Missy affectionately in his mind.
"Little Missy, Baole isn't stupid … But for you, I'm willing to do anything. Even if I have to climb a mountain of swords and go through a sea of flames, I'll be crushed …"
