Chapter 859 - Overbearing! (1/2)

Wang Baole’s appearance was both a decisive factor and a giant rock. It gave the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect a chance to overturn the battle situation that was originally disadvantageous to them. As everyone in the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect perked up, the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s aura gradually weakened. They retreated continuously, and it looked like the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect had the upper hand!

Such an upper hand wasn’t fatal, but one could imagine that once it accumulated, it would make their chances of winning greater and greater. In the end, it might not be impossible for them to win the battle!

Almost everyone from both sides could sense that. Because of that, while Wang Baole brought excitement to the disciples of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, he was hated to the core by the Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators. But alas, his cultivation was too astonishing, and his army was extremely violent.

Hence, the Heavenly Spirit Sect only had two ways to resolve the situation. One way was for the sect lord and elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect to defeat the Sovereign Patriarch. Another way was for the three perfected stage Spirit Immortals to suppress the butler and Daoist Gu Mo.

It was just that… for the former, until now, the sect lord and elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect still only had a slight advantage. Obviously, it would take some time for them to accumulate the winning edge before they could defeat him. As for the latter… it was the same.

So… the only way was to eliminate Wang Baole and try to wipe out the opportunity he created with his appearance as much as possible!

It wasn’t that there was no way to do so, it was just that the consequences were massive and posed quite a bit of risk. If this happened previously, when the Heavenly Spirit Sect had the initiative and was winning, they wouldn’t make such a decision since there was no need to take the risk. They only needed to maintain the tempo, and the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect would naturally collapse. Their destruction would have been irreversible.

But now… especially after seeing the battle situation where Wang Baole headed straight for a mid-stage Spirit Immortal, it was the only way out for the Heavenly Spirit Sect. That was because they absolutely couldn’t let Wang Baole enter the battle of early-stage and mid-stage Spirit Immortals. If they did… once Wang Baole killed a Spirit Immortal, the number of Violet Gold civilization cultivators would drop sharply. As the other Divine Sovereign Justice Sect Spirit Immortals were unleashed, their defeat would be guaranteed.

So, decisiveness appeared in the eyes of the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect as he growled, “Qing Kunzi!”

As his words spread, the three Heavenly Spirit Sect perfected stage Spirit Immortals, who were fighting the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s butler and Daoist Gu Mo, instantly had a sense of struggle appear in their eyes. But that turned to decisiveness in an instant, and their cultivations seemed to be burning as they exploded forth. Two of them seemed to not fear death and seemed to turn into suns as they lunged towards the butler and Daoist Gu Mo. They unleashed their ultimate techniques and actually trapped the butler and Daoist Gu Mo temporarily.

Meanwhile, the other perfected stage Spirit Immortal, the Qing Kunzi that the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect spoke of, flicked his body. As his cultivation exploded forth, he actually left the battlefield, charging with the force of a thunderbolt towards Wang Baole, who was fighting his way towards the Spirit Immortal battlefield.

Everything happened instantly, and in the next moment, as the battlefield rumbled, Qing Kunzi seemed to turn into a Kun Peng. In fact, looking with the naked eye, one could faintly see the shadow of a Kun Peng instantly approach Wang Baole.

And just a few breaths before he arrived, Wang Baole had already noticed and turned his head towards the rapidly nearing Kun Peng. Sensing the heaven-shaking killing intent, a trace of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a cold glimmer flashed between his eyes.

Finally, a big one comes! Wang Baole laughed. He naturally knew the Kun Peng’s motive. That was because the three decisions he made after arriving all had the greatest impact on the battle situation.

He first killed Yi Nianzi. After calming the swayed Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples down, he killed the two opposing Spirit Immortals, who countless Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples sacrificed their lives to trap. While this boosted the morale of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect cultivators, it also released a large amount of manpower. Without having to face enemies both in front and behind them, the excess cultivators could join other battles.

Afterward, what Wang Baole wanted to do was go to the early and mid-stage Spirit Immortal battlefield and use his late-stage Spirit Immortal cultivation to suppress and kill his enemies. Once he did that… there would no longer be any need to continue the battle.

As for the bad reputation that bullying the weak with his strong cultivation would bring, anyone who still considered that during a battle was a fool that would certainly die. What was most important in a battle was beating the weak using one’s strength!

So Wang Baole expected to get stopped. Similarly, that was also within his plans. After all, from a strategic point of view, although killing a perfected stage Spirit Immortal wasn’t as good as killing multiple early and mid-stage Spirit Immortals, it would have a greater impact on the morale of the Violet Gold civilization.
