714 Never Get Too Ahead of Yourself! (1/2)
”What a sweet talker, no wonder the Saint favors you. It's alright if you don't know. Perhaps the Saint does?” Zi Yue hid her smile behind her hand as she spoke, then raised her right hand in an attempt to capture Wang Baole.
It was then that the waves of self-destructive energies generated by Venus reached their peak. A sudden boom thundered. Venus shook, then… blew up!
The force of the explosion was incredible. It surged from the depths of Venus and moved across the entire planet. Beams of piercing, bright light blasted from Venus' core, skewering it and turning it into a sieve!
Terrifying waves of spirit energy accompanied the beams of light. They overflowed and rushed outwards. In their wake, everything was drained dry, shriveled. They disintegrated and turned to dust!
Buildings, mountains, everything. Fortunately, Duan Muque, Feng Qiuran, and the others had chosen to teleport themselves away before the self-destruction of the planet. No Federation cultivator had remained on the planet at the point of its destruction. There were only… Dao Palace cultivators on Venus!
The Dao Palace cultivators were faced with a calamity. Most of them had no means to leave the planet and nowhere to escape. No matter how hard they tried to run or how much earlier they had begun running, there was no way they could outrun their inevitable death.
Many were enveloped by the waves of spirit energy caused by the explosion, their trembling bodies wiped out instantaneously and turned to dust. The entire planet's destruction seemed to have created a temporary black hole, which was devouring everything in sight!
Everything and everyone… except Zi Yue, who seemed not to care a single bit about Venus' self-destruction. Amidst the thundering booms echoing in space, her hand continued stretching towards Wang Baole, intent on capturing him.
Wang Baole's scalp was prickling with numbness. He deeply regretted his decision to not teleport away immediately.
”I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I leave immediately? This is something between the both of them. Why am I poking my nose into their personal affairs?” Wang Baole yelled amidst his panic and fear.
”Zi Yue, you really dare to harm me? My senior brother is the first Divine King of the Never-Ending Clan! Senior Brother, quick, save me!” Wang Baole said, then silently chanted the scripture. The mysterious will descended from the heavens once again and enveloped everything with its awesome aura. Zi Yue smiled faintly.
”Feels powerful. Unfortunately, you've used this trick on my puppet.” A ghostly light flickered in Zi Yue's eyes. Her outstretched right hand was now right in front of Wang Baole, reaching for his neck.
Just as she was about to grab him by his neck, an illusory, slender arm stretched out from Wang Baole's body and hit Zi Yue's approaching, outstretched palm in a swift collision.
It was Little Missy!
A loud boom erupted, and Wang Baole shuddered as he felt a fierce wind accompanied by an unimaginable power land on him. If he were a flame, the wind might have extinguished him. The blow was strong enough to crush him completely.
A layer of gentle light flowed from the illusory arm that had extended from his body. It formed a layer of protection against the attack, preventing it from being fatal. The backlash from the blow remained, however. It shattered Wang Baole's Thearch Armor, and his Stellar Nascent Soul shriveled up and almost collapsed. Blood even spilled from his mouth and burst out from multiple places on his body.
He was flung backwards, like a kite cut from its string. He smashed through numerous buildings that collapsed in his wake and finally crashed into the lunar stronghold.
”Quick, run!” Little Missy's weak voice urged him frantically. Wang Baole bit hard on his tongue and forced himself to stay conscious despite his serious injuries. He allowed the Solar System Array Formation to surround him with the energies of teleportation. The entire moon and himself began to blur. As the glow from the teleportation spell intensified, a flash of ghostly light flickered in Zi Yue's eyes. She stepped forward just as the moon and Wang Baole were about to be teleported away.
Her foot landed, and she passed through the glow of the teleportation and appeared before Wang Baole. Zi Yue's lips tilted upwards into a devilish smile as she observed Wang Baole's shock. Her finger reached out for Wang Baole's forehead.
”Boy, call out for your senior brother, ask him to save you.”
Her finger landed on Wang Baole's forehead. It seemed that what awaited Wang Baole in the next moment was the shattering of his bones and the complete destruction of his body and soul. The teleportation would fail, and Little Missy, the lunar stronghold, and the Night Immortal King would be trapped here.
