After ending the voice transmission, Wang Baole grew suspicious. Xie Haiyang sent him battle credits for no reason, and was so cryptic in his words, saying that he would find out soon…

Seems like it’s not a small problem. Wang Baole was deep in thought as he instinctively checked his surroundings. He realized that nothing out of the ordinary was happening, regardless of whether it was the Sea of Fire beneath him or the glow of the fire in the sky. However, he still grew vigilant and continued advancing without hesitation after checking his bearings with the mission jade slip.

The peak level of the early-stage Core Formation realm was expressed in terms of Wang Baole’s speed. He was like lightning, and the Lightning Immortal Transformation also had a huge effect, making Wang Baole seem as though he was stepping on lightning. He was so fast that he covered a great distance in the blink of an eye.

According to the directions given by the mission jade slip, Wang Baole understood that it would take him about three years to travel from Green Fire Island to the body of the sword that was buried in the sun. After all, the ancient greenish-bronze sword was so large that even the region classified as its handle was significantly bigger than Earth.

Therefore, he couldn’t depend on flight alone. In between, he had to use teleportation to shorten the time needed. The teleportation spots were built on specific islands. As such, even though Wang Baole was currently heading in the direction of the body of the sword, he still chose a coordinate that represented an island known as the Dusty Vision Island, amongst ten over other teleportation spots.

“The teleportation process requires a hundred battle credits each time… According to the mission description, five teleportations are required… This means five hundred battle credits are needed. On my return trip, another five hundred battle credits are needed… What a scam,” Wang Baole mumbled. He checked the mission and confirmed the coordinates, then he charged like lightning into the distance at high speed.

Time passed in this manner. Soon, half a month went by. It would take approximately three days before reaching the first teleportation spot, Dusty Vision Island. Wang Baole was so bored with traveling in the air that he took out a packet of snacks and held a piece of it in his mouth. He sighed, as even though the ancient greenish-bronze sword was a haven for cultivation with its concentrated Spirit Qi, there were no snacks for sale.

Wang Baole was disappointed, and he couldn’t bear to eat all the food that was in short supply. Every time cravings struck, he would put a piece of snack in his mouth, enjoying the taste of it while reminiscing of home.

So, I’m not a glutton, I’m just homesick. After realizing his true feelings, Wang Baole shook and touched his belly. He took a deep breath and felt that he was a pitiful person. He thought about a sentence that he had seen before, and after altering it, he mumbled it.

“I’m not eating snacks, but loneliness…” Wang Baole sighed softly, taking out another piece of his snack and putting it in his mouth. As he tasted it slowly, a small island appeared before him gradually.

There were no signs of cultivators being present on the island, and it seemed that it was an abandoned island. The concentration of Spirit Qi there was similar to that of other places. Wang Baole had seen many islands like these over the past month. He understood that most of the islands chosen by the Vast Expanse Dao Palace were beneficial for cultivation. The islands that weren’t beneficial were abandoned and not cared about.

Even so, Wang Baole was still on high alert. He didn’t plan to travel right above such islands, instead choosing to take a detour. However, just as he neared the island and was about to go right passed it, a strong aura from an array formation suddenly emerged from the abandoned island.

The aura from the array formation was released suddenly, and a glow emerged the moment it was released. The two entwined immediately, forming a large hand of light and grabbing towards Wang Baole.

The moment it grabbed, a figure flew up from the abandoned island, and a burst of frightening laughter was heard.

“Wang Baole, are you surprised? Old Liang has been waiting for you for a long time!” The person who was speaking was Liang Long, the Island Lord of Green Fire Island like Wang Baole!

As one of Mie Liezi’s disciples, Liang Long had things to be proud of himself. However, including the incident in the Heavenly Questions Hall, he was insulted by Wang Baole thrice. It was something that, based on his personality, he couldn’t take lying down. However, he also knew that the way Wang Baole moved was unpredictable, and that was why he managed to bear with it until now, only acting after putting in place the array formation.

Right now, he was filled with ferocity and anticipation. He believed that no matter how bizarrely Wang Baole acted, he wouldn’t be able to escape from the restraint of the array formation that he had paid greatly for!

“Kneel!” Liang Long shouted loudly and activated his hand seals. Instantly, the speed of the array formation hand was boosted, glowing even more brilliantly as it appeared to become more powerful.

It even resulted in the formation of a hurricane that let out an impressive suppressive force and landed right before Wang Baole in the blink of an eye. It was about to grab Wang Baole when a chilly glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes. If he weren’t prepared previously, he would really be caught unaware by this sudden event. However, he had been vigilant all along the way, and right now, as the large hand grabbed at him, Wang Baole snorted. He raised his right hand, and three different colored light rays appeared from his storage bag!

Red, green, and purple!

The three light rays had just emerged, but a force that could shake the entire area was immediately unleashed. There was also a strong suppressive force emerging directly from the light rays. Vaguely, there was also a killing force, as if a divine being had arrived, and as if lightning was formed, charging directly towards the fast approaching array formation hand.

It was so fast that it was difficult to keep track of with one’s naked eye. Only a loud boom emerged the moment both parties made contact, and the sound spread in all directions.

It was so loud that it formed a wild hurricane, causing the entire area to shake. Even the surrounding lava fire sea began churning with big waves. The array formation hand was unable to withstand it, breaking apart into pieces right away.

The three light rays didn’t stop moving after passing through the array formation hand. They continued charging towards the abandoned land and were like three light rays that could destroy space. They were directed towards Liang Long, who was gripped with shock and disbelief and had lost his voice, unable to even scream. The light rays neared him instantly, and they seemed to be able to pass through all barriers.

What Dharmic treasure is this!

With the impending crisis, Liang Long was extremely shocked. His scalp felt numb, and a torrent of emotions appeared in his mind. He didn’t have much time to think or even time to dodge. With bloodshot eyes, he screamed and pulled the jade slip hanging around his neck, twisting it. Immediately, a large turtle shell-like light screen appeared before him.

“This again? Do you really think I can’t defeat that? Back then, there were just too many people, and that was why I chose to trap you in.” Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He was speaking the truth. In reality, based on his capabilities, he might not be able to destroy the turtle shell, but he could attack with all his might such that Liang Long would lose connection with the turtle shell. However, it was useless to do that on Green Fire Island. If he really killed Liang Long there, Mie Liezi would be furious.

However, it was different here. Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He pointed with his hand seals, and the three light rays in mid-air revealed their true selves. They were three different colored flying swords!

It was the tri-colored flying sword that Wang Baole had obtained from the extraterrestrial Nascent Soul realm leader!

Right now, with his hand seals, the prowess of the tri-colored flying sword was unleashed, and it was even more frightening than previously. They charged directly towards Liang Long’s turtle shell, and they were so fast that they instantly made contact. Cracks appeared on the extremely tough turtle shell before Liang Long’s screams could last even a few seconds. However, it was an impressive item, and it soon showed signs of recovery.

Wang Baole frowned, nearing it instantly. He raised his right hand, and the green lotus inside his body shook. The Lightning Core, Heart Core, and Dark Core in him were instantly activated, gathering in his right hand. An extremely unreasonable consciousness was revealed from Wang Baole’s body. The moment he neared, he activated the supernova, and attacked with a punch!

That punch shook the heavens and earth. The moment it was unleashed, it formed a torn black hole that seemed to swallow everything as it landed on Liang Long’s turtle shell. Complemented by the tri-colored flying sword, the two forces were activated, and an anti-vibration force was formed on the turtle shell. If Liang Long had a sufficiently high cultivation level, he could have lasted. However, he seemed to be unable to control the turtle shell and was unable to withstand the anti-vibration force. Once Spirit Qi wasn’t provided, the turtle shell toppled backwards, landing directly on Liang Long!

As everything happened, the force of a hurricane was unleashed in all directions. Liang Long vomited blood, his body like a kite cut from its string as he retreated, extremely beaten. A look of fear appeared on his face, as he had never imagined Wang Baole’s combat powers would be so shocking.

“Wang Baole, you dare kill me? There are Life Attraction Forces on me. Killing me might attract other existences, and my Master would be able to sense it immediately, and he could find out the culprit behind this when he reviews what happened!” Liang Long spoke nervously as he retreated.

“Kill you? Why should I kill you?” Wang Baole took out a rope, an evil smile flashing across his face. His actions and that smile of his fell onto Liang Long’s eyes, and Liang Long was immediately gripped with fear, as a bad feeling arose in his heart.

“What… are you going to do?”
