A World Worth Protecting-Chapter 569: Domineering!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The reincarnation of the Nine Generations clearly shared the same origins as the mystic technique of the Federation’s Five Generation Sky Clan!
The difference lay in that the Five Generation Sky Clan could only call upon reincarnations from five generations, while Zhou Chudao could call upon reincarnations from nine generations. Right now, as the illusory images appeared behind him as he sealed his hands, nine awls appeared between him and Wang Baole!
At the same time, those illusory figures also sealed their hands, causing the number of awls existing between the duo to grow instantly from nine to eighty-one!
The moment the eighty-one awls appeared, they caused such a strong wave of impact that it shook the entire area, causing the night sky map over the region to warp. Turbulent winds were also triggered, and even the mountain peak beneath them was vibrating vigorously. Large amounts of rock fragments were tumbling down as if the mountain was about to collapse.
The ground seemed to be unable to withstand the impact as well. Cracks were seen in the ground, and, coupled with the turbulence of the mountain, it seemed as if the entire area was crumbling!
At this moment, Zhou Chudao’s eyes were bloodshot. He roared and raised his hands, and the illusory figures behind him followed suit. They seemed to be moving the eighty-one awls, pressing on them and directing them towards Wang Baole!
“Imprison him!” Zhou Chudao exclaimed loudly. The illusory figures behind him all carried a frightening expression on their faces at the same time. They opened their mouths and screamed in unison, resulting in the formation of a sonic wave that exploded instantly. An astonishing aura was also emanated from the eighty-one awls as they criss-crossed in mid-air, forming a giant cage that charged towards Wang Baole while carrying a suppressing force!
The killing intent carried by the eighty-one awls, as well as the imposing threat they had on Wang Baole, were combined together, such that he wasn’t able to throw out his fifth punch!
It wasn’t that he was unable to release the fifth punch. Instead, the shock that he felt from the imposing manner of the awls made him lose confidence in the ability of his punch to lead him to victory!
In addition, as the cage formed by the eighty-one awls neared Wang Baole, an indescribable suppressive force that seemed impossible to fight against exploded like a tsunami. It contained an extremely high pressure as if it could decimate him!
With crisis looming, a chilly glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes. He didn’t wish to dodge, nor did he wish to activate Thearch Armor so soon. He narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand, and three one-use eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments flew out from his storage bracelet, surrounding him!
The three Dharmic treasures, which were each in the form of a clock, looked identical. Once they were taken out, they began to grow larger in size, each bigger than the other as if they were building on top of each other. They enveloped Wang Baole. Looking at it from a distance, the three Dharmic treasures seemed to have formed a protective covering so sturdy that they appeared like the mountainous rocks that even a tsunami couldn’t destroy. Suppressive forces emanated from the Dharmic treasures as they took on the impact of the eighty-one awls head on!
It all took place in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the eighty-one awls neared and made contact with Wang Baole’s one-use eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments!
“You can block it!” Zhou Chudao bellowed as he stepped forward. However, just as he said that and his foot landed on the ground, Wang Baole’s voice reverberated.
“It is not part of my Dao to use blocking as a strategy!” The desire for combat could be seen in the eyes of Wang Baole, who was within the protection of the clocks. As he spoke, he pushed his hands towards both sides of the protection and roared with a deep voice.
“Explode!”
The moment his voice was heard, the clock on the outermost layer vibrated and exploded in an instant. A powerful force churned and spread in all directions, forming an invisible hand that charged towards the incoming tsunami-like awl!
That wasn’t the end!
The fighting spirit in Wang Baole’s eyes grew even stronger. His voice was heard again, and this time, he ordered for two explosions. The second, as well as the last clock exploded almost at the same instant, creating an impact that added on to the previous one that was produced. That caused the invisible hand to swell, and it slapped the awls hard!
It was as if it wanted to open up a pathway within the cage formed by the awls!
In this battle with Zhou Chudao, the spells, as well as the thought and flexibility that both sides adopted in their battle techniques, were on the level of someone who was at the peak of the Core Formation realm. To a certain extent, the battle between them could be used as a case study. If their opponents weren’t each other and were instead any of the bystanders, that opponent would have long been defeated, unless they were as savage of either of them.
However, that was still a hypothetical scenario. Wang Baole had a strong desire for combat, and that was the case for Zhou Chudao as well. He seemed to have predicted Wang Baole’s tactics, as he sealed his hands and pointed just as the three clocks self-exploded and the invisible hand was carrying out the slap!
Instantly, the awls gathered together, transforming the cage formed by the eighty-one awls into an awl shield!
The shield took on the impact from the self-explosion of the three clocks head-on. When contact was made, a force that was several times more powerful instantly reverberated. Zhou Chudao’s breathing became disorderly, and his hair was disheveled. Blood spewed out of his mouth as he let out a battle cry!
“Wang Baole, you’ve taken the bait… Nine Generations… Anti-Shock!” As Zhou Chudao’s voice was heard, an astonishing anti-shock force was released from the awl shield. That large force, which resulted from the destruction of half the number of awls, combined with the explosive force of the three clocks, and it landed directly to propel Wang Baole away!
That was an extremely unexpected turn of events. Wang Baole’s body trembled, and blood spewed from his mouth. His body, which was in mid-air, suddenly tumbled backwards, and even though he clenched his right fist, he seemed to have lost the strength to flail it. As blood spurted out of his mouth continuously, a sense of fragility and weakness could be seen from Wang Baole.
At the same time, an indescribably powerful impact formed visible waves that spread in all directions. Wherever the waves passed, the mountains crumbled and the ground cracked. Even the array formation set up by Zhao Yameng was destroyed at that instant. It was as if a strong gust of wind had blown off all the fallen leaves!
Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao were extremely taken aback. In their anxiety, their bodies were also forced to retreat by the impact, without their control. The cultivators who were previously hiding in the area had blood spurting out of their mouths as they escaped to distance themselves from the area. Those people were the participants hidden on the map who had lost their keys. As they escaped with fear, there were three of them who looked frightened on the surface but carried a look of greed deep in their eyes.
If it were some other time, they might not have harbored such malicious thoughts. However, right now, Wang Baole was visibly and severely injured. The three keyless participants didn’t think too much as they leaped into the air, activating their cultivation. One of them was in the late-stage Core Formation realm, while the other two were at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm. They dashed right towards Wang Baole, who was now retreating with blood in his mouth!
They wanted to kill Wang Baole and snatch his keys!
Zhou Chudao frowned slightly, but as a glow flashed across his eyes, he gave up the thought of going after the three keyless participants. If such an elite from the Federation died in his hands, it would be disadvantageous for him in the future.
Of course, if the trio hadn’t made the ambush, Zhou Chudao would still have attacked Wang Baole one last time. He wouldn’t have killed him, but he would definitely have taken away his keys.
However, just as Zhou Chudao gave up his intention to pursue, and as the three greedy Dao Palace disciples were about to launch their attacks, a chilly voice that carried a sense of regret was heard from Wang Baole, who seemed to have been severely injured and lost all ability for combat.
“D*rn it, the three of you really deserve to die!”
The moment those words were heard, the sense of weakness that was emanating from Wang Baole vanished instantly. Right now, the resonance of the fifth punch spread on Wang Baole’s clenched fist. That stunned Zhou Chudao, and his heart was gripped with shock!
It was only now that he realized that Wang Baole didn’t suffer from injuries as severe as he had thought. Rather, it could also be said that Wang Baole’s physique was peculiar and could recover extremely quickly. Regardless, if not for the idiotic trio, had Zhou Chudao neared Wang Baole, he would have come face to face with Wang Baole’s fifth punch, which he had secretly been preparing until now!
Without a doubt, that would be the case!
Therefore, right now, Wang Baole’s anger and regret could be clearly felt. The waves of resonance on his fist dissipated, and just as the three Dao Palace disciples retreated in shock, Wang Baole, with a chill in his eyes, pointed his right finger at each of the trio’s foreheads!
Flame Snatch!
A scream that sounded so painful that it didn’t seem human was heard from the trio. Their bodies could be seen withering visibly, while their energy and life seemed to have been stripped at that instant. They were turned into dried corpses that landed heavily on the ground. That was when Wang Baole turned around with a solemn expression on his face to look at the surprised Zhou Chudao.
“Even though I didn’t physically unleash the fifth punch, in my mind, I have already successfully executed it and have already defeated you!”
“Therefore… The teleportation is about to begin, and this battle… should end now!” As Wang Baole spoke, Zhou Chudao suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. He reacted quickly, sealing his hands and controlling the awl shield to move towards Wang Baole. However, Wang Baole suddenly raised his right hand!
A blood-colored meridian emerged beneath the skin on Wang Baole’s right hand and spread throughout his body!
It was extremely sinister and overbearing!
It was… the Flame Snatch Thearch Armor!
