800 Best to Stay Away! (1/2)

Wang Baole gave it everything he had as he shouted out those words. It was a shout that was fueled by the very essence of his life. If this proved to be useless in scaring off the stone giant, Wang Baole had a feeling that he was going to die.

He was truly worried that his loud shouting wasn't powerful enough, so he continued yelling.

”My senior brother, Chen Qing, is a mighty cultivator who has slain many other powerful cultivators. He reigns supreme in the Never-Ending Star Domain and is treated like a king in many parts of the universe!”

”Your humble junior here has mistakenly stumbled into your domain and disturbed your rest. But I haven't hurt any of your people. Why would the esteemed senior choose to make things difficult for me over something so minor?” Wang Baole tried his best to exude the power from his essence technique as he spoke. This was something his senior brother had given him, something that his senior brother had created himself. That meant that it was something that was uniquely Chen Qing's!

Such unique ownership was the best proof of one's identity. If the stone giant were merely at the Planet realm, Wang Baole wouldn't have thought this method effective. It was highly unlikely for someone at the Planet realm to come across someone like his senior brother.

But a being at the Eternal Star realm… was an entirely different creature altogether, especially one who was lord of an entire clan. Someone like that must have heard of his senior brother's name or heard rumors about him.

As Wang Baole continued his yelling, the donkey was panicking inside the storage bracelet. As for Little Wu, he was secretly crying inside. He didn't believe a single word that Wang Baole had said. Nevertheless, those words still gave him an inkling of hope. The power of the stone giant was simply too much for them to bear.

Wang Baole and Little Wu stared unblinkingly at the skies as the giant's palm rushed towards them, ready to crush everything in its path. In the next moment… the palm suddenly stuttered to a stop!

The sudden stutter sent tornadoes rippling outward and sweeping into the Dharmic Battleship that Wang Baole was on. It shuddered, ready to cave in at any moment. However… the palm didn't descend upon it. As long as it didn't, the Dharmic Battleship remained safe despite the bout of quaking.

It's working! Wang Baole's breathing quickened as his spirits perked up. He looked up and could sense someone's gaze. It came from the stone giant and swept downwards at them.

The gaze was heavy with power and appeared to see through everything. It paid no attention to the Dharmic Battleship or to Wang Baole's Divine Justice Shield and defenses, piercing straight through everything and seeing them at their very core. It saw right through Little Wu as well with a single sweep.

Little Wu did the same, looking down fearfully.

The gaze, heavy with power, swept across them a few times before retreating. Along with it went the gigantic hand that had reached out towards them earlier!

Wang Baole's spirits rose as he watched the enormous hand lifting away from them. He felt as if he had just barely escaped death. The feeling made him realize how incredible his senior brother was. The layer of protection that his senior brother afforded him meant that no matter where he went, other cultivators were going to treat him with a certain degree of courtesy. Of course, he couldn't always rely on his senior brother. If he were to cross paths with his senior brother's enemies… it would be the end of him.

At that thought, Wang Baole took a deep breath, looked up, and then said, ”Thank you very much, Senior!”

”Leave!” As Wang Baole's voice reverberated through the cosmos, a husky voice erupted in Wang Baole and Little Wu's heads with a thunderous boom.

The voice had been transmitted through the stone giant's Divine Sense. It didn't matter that they didn't speak the same language. Those words were directly imprinted into one's soul. They were firm and strong words, and the transmission sent sharp pain spiking in Wang Baole's head. He might not be able to take it if the stone giant were to continue speaking.

It wasn't as if he had no chance of holding up under the stone giant's voice. Regardless, the difference in the level of their cultivations made Wang Baole realize the difference that separated the strong and the weak once again. Anyone else who shared his thoughts would have immediately left the galaxy, just in case the stone giant decided to regret his earlier decision to let them go.

In fact, that was what Little Wu was thinking then. He had just survived death, and the only thought he had in his head at that moment was to get out of that horrible place as soon as possible.

Wang Baole wasn't any ordinary man, though. Gears spun furiously in his head as he analyzed the situation. It was obvious to him that the stone patriarch knew of his senior brother. Even though the stone patriarch had seemed intent on sacrificing Wang Baole, he had chosen to let him go after he had mentioned his senior brother.

This meant that the stone patriarch didn't know his senior brother in person but had heard of his reputation. He didn't want to make an enemy of his senior brother over something so minor. It didn't matter whether Wang Baole was making things up. It wasn't important to someone as powerful as he was.

Besides, it means something that I could call out Chen Qing's name. The stone patriarch is a smart man. I know what he's trying to say. He's saying that he doesn't care if I'm telling the truth or lying, he's not interested at all. He just wants to be left alone. Wang Baole rapidly dissected the situation… and came to a conclusion.
