Chapter 828 - Return!
Chapter 828: Return!
Although a Planet realm couldn’t be seen as an overlord of an area in the entire Never-Ending Star Domain, they were definitely not weaklings. Even within the Never-Ending Clan, they could lead an army. After all, to become a Planet realm, one had to fuse with a planet. To a certain degree, such cultivators were planets.
The death of a planet was naturally shocking, let alone the self-destruction of one. Its power was enough to destroy the heavens and earth. It would also cause the planet that Wang Baole and the rest descended on to collapse. As for the Never-Ending Clan members within it, basically… they were most likely dead.
Except for those originally in the camp, who had been teleported away due to the late-stage Spirit Immortal Never-Ending Clan elder breaking the Heavenly Dao Blessings, the rest… were definitely dead!
As for the Descenders, such as Wang Baole, they were no longer within these boundaries. Although the cultivation of the Flame Patriarch watching the live stream was extremely mysterious, he wouldn’t let the Descenders die there after seeing that. So, the moment he sensed the self-destruction, the Flame Patriarch, who was eating immortal fruit and watching the twists and turns of the battle with gusto, activated the teleportation of the masks.
It was just that the teleportation wasn’t forceful and required the Descenders to activate it themselves. So, at that moment, every Descender heard the words from the mask echoing in their souls.
“Just silently chant ‘Return’, and you can return back here!”
These words also echoed in Wang Baole’s soul. He was currently being pulled by the protective force from the planet’s patriarch, retreating from the magma. He retreated faster than he arrived and was pulled out of the ground instantly. He could only hear the elder’s hatred and anger-filled words.
“Planet self-destruction?” Wang Baole’s expression changed, and his first reaction was to teleport and leave. However, he hesitated and forcefully resisted the danger he felt from his body, which was seemingly screaming for him to teleport away, and looked towards the land.
As Wang Baole looked, the entire planet’s land seemed to have mist-like dust appear first. Afterward, a weak rumble radiated from deep underground and spread around the entire planet as fast as lightning.
It was as though a wave of indescribable power had already exploded forth from deep underground and was sweeping towards the outside world. In fact, it didn’t even give Wang Baole time to retract his gaze. Under the heaven-shaking sound, the land collapsed, and the ocean on the planet was lifted up.
The entire planet surface was shaking violently, and the loud sound coming from all directions made Wang Baole feel like the world was ending. But he still gritted his teeth and chose not to teleport. Instead, he headed for mid-air with a flick of his body. As his silhouette rose, the ground he was previously on instantly collapsed.
Not only did that place collapse, but the surroundings were like that too. Under loud cracks, giant rifts covered a boundless area. After connecting with the rifts from other areas, they covered the entire planet.
Shrill cries and unwilling screams, as well as whizzing sounds caused by frenzied escaping, spread around every corner of the planet. The expressions of the living Descenders, excluding Wang Baole but including that arrogant baldy, all turned ghostly pale. They all silently chanted “Return”. As for the Never-Ending Clan army cultivators who went out to search for and try to kill Wang Baole, they were unable to leave. As the heavens and earth collapsed, they could only despair!
In the next moment, the land collapsed. Chunks of land were lifted, and seawater gushed in from all around. High temperatures also exploded forth from underground. As they spurted out continuously, they created a thick fog. There was a giant bulge at the center of the planet, which was the land directly atop the sacrificial altar.
The bulge was pitch-black, and there were rays of lightning within it. But if one looked closely, they would see that as the lightning flashed past, there was a shattered rainbow planet deep within the pitch-black bulge.
Rumbles sounded out continuously, and as they shook the heavens, the bulge looked like a giant light sphere from afar. It got bigger and bigger as it spread crazily towards the distance. Wherever it went… everything turned into nothingness!
All of that caused Wang Baole to shudder with fear. Luckily, the protection given by the planet’s patriarch was enough. Under the destructive waves, it was still pretty effective. This made it such that although he was in mid-air, he wasn’t really affected. But the destructive wind the disturbances on the planet turned into had already swept past everything. This made Wang Baole’s body sway and become unstable like a willow.
I can’t just leave like that. I have to see the Never-Ending Clan cultivator die with my own eyes! Wang Baole’s breathing was anxious. He didn’t want to leave a hidden threat in this event. Although he traveled there while masked and wasn’t scared of being remembered, his cautious and vicious personality made him do so.
He could imagine that if the Never-Ending Clan member didn’t die, the one he would hate most wouldn’t be the elder he refined, it would be him.
With that thought, even though Wang Baole’s heart shook, he still forced himself to look towards the planet with a flick of his body. The giant bulge had already covered 30% of the planet’s area, but it didn’t continue. Instead, the planet could no longer withstand it and started… self-destructing!
Rumbles sounded from everywhere as the planet collapsed. As though it was made from porcelain, it spread towards the surroundings as it shattered.
It didn’t completely shatter. Instead, only half of it shattered. As it shattered, and as almost all of the Never-Ending Clan cultivators died, a shrill scream spread from within the bulge. A three-faced, six-armed silhouette charged out from the bulge!
He’s not dead! Wang Baole, who was straining himself to resist the storm, narrowed his eyes after seeing that scene. He wanted to kill him, but the surroundings of the Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator was full of destructive power, and he was unable to get near him.
As Wang Baole sighed with regret and prepared to leave while feeling helpless, his gaze was suddenly drawn back.
The Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator, whose clothes were torn and tattered and whose body had countless injuries, had a large amount of rainbow lines on his body. They surrounded him and seemed to want to cut him up. This caused the Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator to let out an extremely shrill scream after he charged out, as one of his arms was chopped off.
Afterward, his second, third, and fourth arm, and even his two legs, ended up like that. His body was also cut into seven to eight pieces as he charged out.
It wasn’t over, and his heads ended up like that too. His first head collapsed, and his second head shattered. Seeing that, Wang Baole was excited. However… the rainbow lines created by the destructive power of the self-destruction of the patriarch’s planet dimmed and weakened after doing all that. The Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator, who had one head left, charged towards the heavens while struggling.
Wang Baole stared at that head intently. He was very far away from him, and the destructive power of the planet in front of him was too strong. At the same time, the protection outside Wang Baole’s body had already weakened, and he could feel that the protection couldn’t be sustained for much longer. Even if he wanted to give chase, he couldn’t do so.
But Wang Baole was unwilling to leave just like that.
“I want to scare him to death, even if I can’t catch up to him!” Wang Baole’s eyes flashed, and he flicked his body as he muttered. Growling, he looked like he wanted to give chase. The head that had already charged out of the bulge glanced back and looked in the direction of Wang Baole with hatred. He then let out a frenzied scream and actually gritted his teeth. With a boom, he made half of his only remaining head self-destruct!
Using the explosive power of that half of his head, he unleashed an unknown method and instantly disappeared.
He really got scared? Seeing that, Wang Baole couldn’t help but feel extremely happy. He also had fewer worries in his heart. He saw that even though the Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator didn’t die this time, it would be almost impossible for him to return to his original cultivation.
So, he took a deep breath, touched the mask on his face, took another look at the collapsing land and the bulge that was still spreading, and sighed lightly.
“Return!”
As he said that and the mask glowed, suddenly… from within the giant bulge, a weak ray of rainbow light flew out, carrying two items as it headed towards Wang Baole.
One of those two items was a fingernail-sized stone core that was dispersing rainbow light. The other… was half a palm. The palm was the right hand of the escaped Never-Ending Clan Planet realm cultivator. It had three fingers left, and on its index finger… there was a storage ring!
The storage ring was obviously extraordinary. After the self-destruction, it actually… came out undamaged!
Instantly, the two items appeared in front of Wang Baole, who was about to teleport away while being surrounded by rainbow light. After the items were grabbed by Wang Baole, the teleportation activated!
In an instant, Wang Baole’s silhouette disappeared!
