723 A Battlefield Created Just for Wang Baole! (2/2)

The Dark Sampan beneath his feet began burning its own vitality. No price was too heavy as he raced through the cosmos in a blur, almost like he was teleporting, and crossed vast distances. When he next appeared, he was in Jupiter's vicinity.

The price for crossing such vast distances so swiftly was great. Wang Baole spat out a mouthful of blood and almost collapsed, his physical body pushed to its limit and almost unable to withstand such travel. The Dark Sampan's form had turned blurry and indistinct due to the energy it had expended, and it now resembled a thin cloud of mist!

It hadn't been repaired fully and now appeared to suffer great damage, but Wang Baole didn't have the time or energy to care about that. He commanded the power of the Dark Sect once more and continued his approach towards Jupiter, which was still a distance away. Regardless, his Nascent Soul was already becoming more lively in his body.

The connection between him and Pluto also seemed stronger and clearer than before. This greatly boosted Wang Baole's confidence in his success.

Jupiter alone might not be enough… Madness entered Wang Baole's eyes then. He just thought of a place that could greatly augment his Stellar Nascent Soul to levels that would seem almost terrifying.

He had no idea the current distance separating him and Daoist You Ran. Based on his calculations, though, he just needed to reach Jupiter. He still might not stand a chance to win a fight against Daoist You Ran, but he could definitely get through to Pluto!

His Dark Sampan burned its vitality to unleash greater speed, pulling him closer to Jupiter. It was then that a thunderous boom erupted in the cosmos behind him. Daoist You Ran had slid through space just like he had and reappeared behind Wang Baole, a frustrated look on his face. He then immediately shifted. Countless vines erupted from his back, intertwined with one another, and transformed into a pair of enormous wings. A single flap of the wings sent waves of spirit energy rippling through space and gave Daoist You Ran another burst of speed. He dashed out, his hands merged into a series of hand seals as dozens of runes lit up his body.

”Wang Baole, the Solar System is a small place. Do you really think you can escape me?” Daoist You Ran's voice echoed in the cosmos. The runes separated from his body and floated in space, then they sped towards Wang Baole, their speed swifter than Daoist You Ran's. The distance between the two had been shrinking all along. These runes crossed the distance swiftly, and three of them immediately caught up with Wang Baole. Before they came into contact with him, they exploded abruptly!

The shock waves created from the explosion carried the power to destroy the cosmos. They surged through space, whipping up a storm as they rushed at Wang Baole.

Wang Baole didn't spare the attack a glance. With a wave of his hand, his Dark Robe ballooned once more to fend off the attack. Blood seeped from his lips, but he kept his speed up and continued to use the Dark Sampan's vitality as fuel. He was approaching Jupiter, and the Stellar Nascent Soul inside his body was becoming stronger.

The connection with Pluto was becoming more powerful as well, to the point that he could sense the summoning call from Pluto. It had originated from something whose form remained unclear to him at the moment.

It's still not enough! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and continued running. Daoist You Ran's runes continued to explode behind him, inflicting increasingly greater injury to Wang Baole. Regardless, Wang Baole continued his hasty escape to Jupiter. His Stellar Nascent Soul began to brim with power, and its vitality began to overflow to the rest of his body, causing his injuries to heal almost instantly.

Finally, he saw Jupiter within his line of sight. Wang Baole's Nascent Soul opened its eyes then, and a terrifying power pulsed within those eyes. Strange waves of energy flowed from Jupiter and into Wang Baole. This was a power he had never experienced, one that lit Wang Baole's eyes up with an intense light.

Wang Baole tried his best to hide his sudden transformation. Regardless, Daoist You Ran still managed to sense something was amiss. The expression on Daoist You Ran's face shifted as a sense of foreboding settled in his gut. However, there wasn't time to think. Instead, with a flash of determination in his eyes, Daoist You Ran raised his right hand and ripped off his left arm. Then, he roared, ”Divine Star Transformation!”

His amputated left arm began to wriggle. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a black stick insect that spanned a thousand feet long. With a shriek, it leaped into space and lunged for Wang Baole, its jaws wide open and ready to devour the latter whole. Wang Baole's Dark Robe ballooned in size again, but it was no use, the stick insect pierced clean through the robe!

As the stick insect approached, a flash of violence crossed Wang Baole's eyes. His body blurred as he summoned multiple avatars hastily. A dozen avatars appeared. They didn't attack the stick insect, and instead, they exploded. The force of the explosion propelled Wang Baole forward in a sudden rush. Thunder rumbled in the cosmos amidst the avatars' explosions, and the burst of speed pushed Wang Baole closer to Jupiter. He finally entered the asteroid belt that lay between Jupiter and Mars!

This was Wang Baole's target, this was the idea he had thought of that would allow him to receive a boost of power that would raise his current cultivation to terrifying levels!

That was because hundreds of thousands of small planets could be found here. They were right in front of Wang Baole, a special planet that had been discovered by the Federation a millennium ago was located here as well… it was Ceres, the only dwarf planet in this asteroid belt!

It was here that the Stellar Nascent Soul would unleash unprecedented power and make known to the world its might!
