At that moment, the faces of the Federation citizens drained of color. The Martian cultivators were shaken to the core, and fear rose uncontrollably from the bottom of their hearts. They weren't the only ones. Even the Dao Palace cultivators felt the same way!
They, who had long lost their will to fight, were trembling at that moment. Previously, they could still pretend that they didn't see the existence of the Never-Ending Clan members and ignore the Never-Ending Clan puppets. But now, as the events unfolded, especially the Leisurely Taoist who had fused with the Never-Ending Clan battleship and his words, they could no longer pretend to be ignorant.
Especially … if it weren't for Wang Baole, even they would have had their vitality and cultivation sucked away by the Leisurely Taoist. All of this made the Dao Palace cultivators fall silent amidst their complex emotions. They could only raise their heads and look at the stars.
In their eyes, in the eyes of the Martian cultivators, in the eyes of the Federation citizens … beyond Mars … the Leisurely Taoist's massive body seemed to be able to shake the stars. At the same time, Wang Baole stood before him. Although he was still as strange as before, in terms of aura … he was no longer as imposing as before!
"Zi Yue …" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He knew very well that the Leisurely Taoist's change had to be due to Zi Yue. At the same time, he also sensed that the Leisurely Taoist's voice was different from before. At that moment, he sounded more like a machine, with the sound of metal grinding against metal. This was clearly a result of the change in his life form.
Wang Baole didn't know the exact price he had to pay for this transformation. However, he knew that Daoist You Ran's strength and the terrifying aura he exuded now far exceeded what he had been in the past. Even though Wang Baole had the Dark Artifact with him, he still felt an intense sense of danger as his soul trembled in fear!
It could be said that everything … had been reversed as Leisurely Taoist merged with the Never-Ending Clan battleship!
Daoist You Ran didn't give Wang Baole any time to think. As his words reverberated in the air, he raised his right hand, pointed at Wang Baole, and unleashed his full power!
No glow of divine ability could be seen, but as Wang Baole's face flickered, he waved the Lantern Oar out in front of him. Immediately, the Underworld Fire spread out, transforming into a sea of flames that blocked the Lantern Oar. At the same time, the starry sky he had just occupied collapsed. Rumbling sounds echoed out as a vast number of vines shot out from the collapsing void, which then shot toward Wang Baole at top speed.
Wherever the vines passed, the starry sky seemed to be corroded. A series of creases appeared, and they came into contact with Wang Baole's Underworld Fire.
The Underworld Fire, which had always been successful, was blocked for the first time. Rumbling sounds could be heard as it burned many vines, but the fire was quickly extinguished. After a few breaths of time, the Underworld Fire dissipated, and new sprouts appeared on the burned vines as they wriggled and charged toward Wang Baole once again.
As the vines charged out, Leisurely Taoist narrowed his eyes and formed a seal with his right hand. Instantly, more vines spread out from his body, spreading out in all directions. From afar, it looked like countless tentacles were wriggling toward Wang Baole from all directions, as if they were going to envelop and trap him!
Things weren't over yet. Killing intent flickered in Leisurely Taoist's eyes as he took a step forward. His left hand clenched into a fist, and then he punched out toward Wang Baole with a force that seemed capable of destroying anything and everything!
Countless vines danced through the starry sky, moving with incredible speed. They circled around Wang Baole, forming an encirclement that seemed to be on the verge of closing in. At the same time, Leisurely Taoist's fist descended, filled with boundless pressure.
An unsightly expression appeared on Wang Baole's face, and an incomparable sense of crisis filled his entire body.
Each and every one of the vines possessed shocking tenacity and resistance. Wang Baole's Underworld Fire could burn them, but because there were so many of them, he couldn't destroy them.
As long as the vines weren't completely destroyed, they could regenerate indefinitely. Moreover, the power they contained made Wang Baole's heart sink. Needless to say, the pressure emanating from Leisurely Taoist's body made Wang Baole feel even more pressured.
"I can't continue fighting here …" At this critical juncture, Wang Baole's eyes revealed a hint of decisiveness. He knew very well that if they fought here, even the slightest ripple would cause damage to Mars. It could be considered a catastrophe. At the same time … although Mars was huge, when compared to the entire Solar System … this wasn't a place where he could unleash his full combat power.
"Leave this place!" Seeing the vines closing in on him, Wang Baole didn't hesitate. He held the Lantern Oar in his hand and released it onto the Netherworld Sampan beneath his feet. As the sound of the oar reverberated, Wang Baole recited a complicated Netherworld Sect incantation!
The instant the incantation appeared, the face of the old State Preceptor appeared on the Netherworld Robe on his body. At the same time, the figure of the little boy appeared on the Lantern Oar. The latter's face was ferocious and shrill. As he roared, the Netherworld Lamp on the Lantern Oar suddenly shattered!
The moment it shattered, black Underworld Fire spread out from the Lantern Oar. There was so much Underworld Fire that it exceeded the amount that Wang Baole had released previously. This was the Underworld Fire that he had sacrificed the Netherworld Lamp at all costs!
A large amount of black Underworld Fire spread out from the shattered Netherworld Lamp, with Wang Baole at the center. In the blink of an eye, it spread out in all directions like a volcanic eruption. It collided with the vines that were closing in on him.
A thunderous boom filled the air. Although the vines were resilient, they were still unable to withstand Wang Baole's Underworld Fire. In an instant, more than half of the vines were reduced to ash. However, the Underworld Fire had dissipated by quite a bit, and it was unable to block the Leisurely Taoist's fist. In the next moment, the vines were swept away by the Leisurely Taoist's fist like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. It pierced through the vines and headed straight for Wang Baole.
In the instant that the Leisurely Taoist's fist descended, the Imperial Preceptor, whose underworld robe had appeared around Wang Baole's body, let out a roar. Instantly, the underworld robe expanded, spreading out to surround Wang Baole, forming a protective shield that slammed into the deadly fist of the Leisurely Taoist.
A boom echoed out in all directions. Wang Baole's underworld robe was torn to shreds, and the Imperial Preceptor's face grew blurry. Wang Baole coughed up a mouthful of blood. However … he borrowed the force of the blow to power the Underworld Galleon beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye … he shot out of the sea of flames and the vines. When he reappeared … he was in the starry sky off in the distance.
Without pausing, he sped off into the starry sky.
"Want to run?" The Leisurely Taoist narrowed his eyes. He didn't retract his right hand, which had been blocked by the Imperial Preceptor. Instead, it stretched out in a bizarre fashion, reaching out in pursuit of Wang Baole.
As he reached out, his fingers began to extend. From a distance, it was a bizarre sight. However, Wang Baole had fought countless battles since he began to practice cultivation. He was incredibly experienced, and as he sped off, he didn't even look back. However, his eyes shone with determination.
"Lantern Oar, one of these days, I'm going to remake you!" As Wang Baole spoke, the boy on the damaged Lantern Oar looked like he was about to cry. However, all he could do was nod. He looked back at the huge hand that was closing in on him, and a ferocious gleam appeared in his eyes. He began to mutter an incantation to cooperate with Wang Baole. In the next instant, Wang Baole released the Lantern Oar, and the boy's spirit returned to him. The Lantern Oar itself shot backward toward the Leisurely Taoist's hand!
As it flew forward, it emanated a self-detonation power that reached its peak. A moment later, it exploded, transforming into an invisible barrier that blocked the Leisurely Taoist's hand!
Even if the Leisurely Taoist didn't want to give up, there was nothing he could do. No matter how damaged the Lantern Oar was, it was still a divine weapon, and a superior-grade one at that. Its self-detonation, especially when it was limited to a certain range, was something that even someone as strong as the Leisurely Taoist had to avoid!
Amidst the loud boom, the Leisurely Taoist was blocked by the self-detonation power. At the same time, Wang Baole spat out a mouthful of blood. The power of the Netherworld Sampan beneath his feet was fully activated, and he shot off into the distance, straight into the depths of space. His eyes shone fiercely. He knew very well that he wasn't a match for the Leisurely Taoist. The only way to turn this battle around, apart from the support of the largest planet in the Solar System, was … the summons of Pluto!
At the same time, he was betting. He was betting that his importance in Zi Yue's eyes surpassed that of the Federation. He wasn't confident about this before the battle with Zi Yue. However, after absorbing that finger, Wang Baole had a certain level of confidence.
Furthermore, he was betting on Purple Moon's personality. She was a person who was selfish to the extreme. She would not do something as childish as threatening others with civilization in her own eyes. The latest chapter of The Three-Inch World came to him.
