It had broken through the sixth grade and reached the seventh grade!
The scabbard's appearance suddenly changed. It now looked like crystal, and it was even possible to see thin golden threads flowing through it!
However, with the exception of Wang Baole, everyone else could sense that the aura emanating from the scabbard far exceeded that of an ordinary seventh grade weapon. In fact, it was comparable to a Divine Weapon!
Only Wang Baole, who had personally refined the scabbard, knew that it was still a seventh grade scabbard. Furthermore, it was still in its embryonic form, and needed to be fused with a soul.
However, this was the final step, and there was no room for error. Even if he went back, he could still proceed with it. Furthermore, Wang Baole would need to carefully consider the choice of soul. Because of the unique refinement of the scabbard, his previous idea was no longer suitable.
Having reached this point in his train of thought, Wang Baole's eyes flickered. He lifted his right hand and made a grasping motion. Instantly, his scabbard whistled through the air and landed in Wang Baole's hand!
As soon as he gripped the scabbard, Wang Baole's body began to tremble violently. He had the feeling that he was holding something terrifying enough to destroy the world. It was an intense sensation that caused Wang Baole's heart to tremble. He was just about to examine the scabbard when suddenly … an aura that was weaker than the scabbard's, and far weaker than the stone slab's. However, it was still powerful enough to crush Wang Baole!!
As soon as the pressure appeared, Little Missy quickly spoke up.
"I've been discovered!" She said. Her body flickered as she enveloped the stone slab. The stone slab seemed to melt, becoming one with her as it shot toward Wang Baole. As it vanished, Little Missy's voice echoed anxiously in Wang Baole's mind.
"Run!!"
There was no need for Little Missy's reminder. The moment the pressure descended, Wang Baole spat out a mouthful of blood. His mind buzzed, and his body felt like it was about to explode.
He didn't have time to think. He immediately put the scabbard back into his body and tried to escape from the secret chamber. However, at that moment, a cold snort sounded from the heavens outside the mountain. As it reverberated in all directions, a huge vortex appeared in the sky above the Vast Expanse Dao Palace's mountain gate.
A gigantic hand that wasn't made of flesh and blood reached out from the vortex in the firmament and grabbed at the Vast Expanse Dao Palace's mountain!
Wherever it passed, the mountain crumbled like tofu. The giant hand also avoided the cone-shaped Dharmic Artifact and headed straight for the secret chamber that Wang Baole was in. It was so fast that, in the blink of an eye, it broke through the roof of the secret chamber amidst the rumbling and crumbling rocks. When it appeared before Wang Baole's eyes, it was the giant hand that seemed to have replaced the sky!
Wang Baole's heart trembled violently. Even the cultivation in his body froze at that moment. It was as if everything in his body had been sucked away. He lost the ability to dodge and was about to be smacked down by the huge hand!
However, at that moment, the scabbard that Wang Baole had fused into his body suddenly emitted a crystalline light. The light penetrated Wang Baole's body and headed straight for the huge hand. When it came into contact with the huge hand, there was a loud boom.
Wang Baole spat out a mouthful of blood. His mind instantly cleared, and he couldn't care less about his shock. As he retreated hastily, a soft gasp reverberated in the air. Then, the gigantic hand picked up speed, breaking through all the stone walls like a hot knife through butter. It grabbed downwards, grabbing half of the mountain peak in its hand. As it tugged upwards, Wang Baole was still inside the mountain, and as his feet swayed, he was pulled into mid-air along with the mountain peak!
At this critical juncture, Little Missy went all out. She appeared behind Wang Baole and formed hand seals. Instantly, a teleportation force spread out from her body and enveloped Wang Baole. However, it was obvious that leaving like that would be blocked. It wasn't safe.
Hence, Little Missy gritted her teeth and spat out a mouthful of soul qi. She pointed at the huge hand, and the ruins of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace trembled. As the tremors spread out in all directions, strands of starlight were drawn out from the ground by Little Missy!
That starlight was none other than the natural laws of the Vast Expanse, which converged together to form an enormous sword of starlight. It slashed toward the hand with incredible speed, almost as if it were formed from the will of the planet itself. In the blink of an eye, the hand was sliced into two!
As the huge hand was severed, the mountain that had been held in midair fell to the ground. When it hit the ground, more than half of it collapsed. Wang Baole spat out a mouthful of blood. He was already injured, and now his injuries were even more severe. Fortunately, the ripples of teleportation had already spread out. Amidst the rumbling, a roar of rage could be heard from the sky. Three more huge arms stretched out and slammed down with devastating force. Wang Baole's body blurred.
Finally, he heard a deafening boom that sounded like the end of the world. Then, he seemed to hear a voice that was different from the one that had attacked him. Before he could hear what was being said, everything stopped. In the next moment … when Wang Baole's vision cleared, he was back in the Worship Palace Pavilion on the ancient greenish-bronze sword!
He wasn't in the fifth palace, but in the great hall of the sixth palace. As soon as he appeared, Wang Baole spat out a mouthful of blood. He staggered and fell to the ground.
After a long while, he struggled to sit up. His face was pale, and he was panting heavily. His organs felt like they had been shattered, and the excruciating pain was torturous. Even though his physical body was recovering rapidly, the pain didn't lessen. Instead, it became even more intense.
However, Wang Baole was a ruthless person. Despite the intense pain, he sat down cross-legged and began to treat his injuries with medicinal pills. The process of healing lasted for three days before the pain began to subside. On the fourth day, Wang Baole opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
Now that he was safe, Wang Baole couldn't help but think back to everything that had happened on the main planet of the Vast Expanse. It almost seemed like a dream, and yet, it had been terrifyingly real. Fear still lingered in his heart as he thought back to the huge hand ….
"What was the cultivation level of that last fellow?" Wang Baole asked Little Missy in his mind after a moment of silence.
"It's all your fault. You actually absorbed all the restrictions when refining a scabbard … Otherwise, we wouldn't have been discovered so quickly … Forget it, I'm partly to blame too. Besides, we were unlucky to have encountered a Star-Grade cultivator passing by at that time … If he had been a Planet-Grade cultivator, we wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state. Fortunately, this Star-Grade cultivator's origin source wasn't deep, and our palace's Dao Arts were better. With our interference, that person wasn't able to find us by following the waves of teleportation …" Little Missy sighed and muttered to herself.
"Star-Grade cultivator …" Wang Baole didn't care about Little Missy's unreliable words. He took a deep breath and thought about his scabbard. He immediately lifted his right hand and patted his chest, wanting to take out his scabbard. However, he froze for a moment and realized that he couldn't take it out.
This made Wang Baole a little anxious. Fortunately, he could sense that there was still a close connection between him and his scabbard. This calmed him down a little. At the same time, Wang Baole sent his spiritual consciousness into the scabbard. After checking, he immediately discovered that almost all the mosquitoes in the scabbard had disappeared. Only the black and purple ones were still there.
At the same time, there were hundreds of golden spots of light. The number was the same as the number of light threads that had been absorbed. It seemed to be brewing. This scene made Wang Baole have many guesses. He wondered if hundreds of golden mosquitoes would appear …
While Wang Baole was pondering, on the main planet of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace in the Vast Expanse Star Domain, which was extremely far away from the Solar System, there was a middle-aged man with a broken arm. The other five arms were nailed to the ground by five leaves. He was trembling, and his eyes were filled with fear and frustration. He looked at a young man who was leaning against a large rock. He had a green wooden sword by his side and was drinking from a gourd in his hand.
This burly man was the Never-Ending Clan Star-Grade cultivator who had attacked Wang Baole previously!
As for the young man, the burly Never-Ending Clan man wasn't sure of his exact identity. However, he could make some guesses. It was because of these guesses that the fear in his heart was like a raging storm. He hurriedly spoke.
"My Lord, I am under the Second Divine King's command …"
Before the burly man could finish speaking, a sword light swept across. Three of his heads flew up instantly. Black, icy flames spread from the wounds and burned the heads that flew up. It also burned the headless corpse. In the blink of an eye, the Star-Grade cultivator was annihilated!
"You hurt my Junior Brother. I don't care who you are. Bite me if you dare," the young man muttered. He took another sip from the wine gourd and tilted his head to look at the sky. It was as if his gaze could penetrate the void and see the Solar System. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a smile.
"Little Junior Brother, Senior Brother has finally found you."
