Chapter 878 - The Fight for the Mandate! (2/2)
As for the left-hand elder, even though his cultivation level fell, he used to be a Planet realm. At this moment, he didn’t seem to be affected at all. Instead, the resentment and killing intent in his eyes intensified.
And the moment they arrived, Wang Baole didn’t utter a single word as he reacted decisively. His body moved and split into four silhouettes that exploded forth simultaneously in front of him, behind him, and at his left and right. Those at the front and back targeted the left-hand elder and He Yunzi, while those at his left and right unleashed their maximum speed as they tried to leave.
It was just that… the four avatars he made hit an invisible seal after traveling less than a hundred feet and stopped. Those at the left and right were like this, and those at his front and back were like this too. The avatar that charged towards He Yunzi was only thirty feet away from him, but it couldn’t pass through.
This made Wang Baole’s expression change again as He Yunzi, who was in front of his avatar, started laughing.
“Long Nanzi, no matter how sly and crafty you are, you’ve fallen into my trap. This time… I prepared everything with the sole purpose of killing you!” As He Yunzi laughed, an unconcealable sense of anticipation and greed appeared in his eyes.
He wasn’t lying. The key to this battle for both the royal family and the Heavenly Spirit Sect was… Wang Baole!
But it didn’t have much connection to the Sovereign Patriarch, and there was no way they would join forces. Instead, before the battle—and even the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord didn’t know this—the royals, with He Yunzi at the helm, actually… couldn’t activate the second teleportation of the Eye of the Eternal Star!
Even though He Yunzi gave it his all and sacrificed the bloodline of his family members, he still couldn’t open the Eye of the Eternal Star again. This horrified him in his heart. Moreover, the Heavenly Spirit Sect had suffered a huge defeat. He couldn’t help but look for the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord and tell him his guesses and judgment after telling him the truth.
If one classified the control of the Eye of the Eternal Star by the royal family into mandate levels, with his status as a prince and after gathering 90% of the bloodlines of royal disciples into his body with the help of the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s mystic technique, He Yunzi could be considered to have obtained the first-grade mandate of the Eye of the Eternal Star.
This mandate was never obtained before by any royal in the past generations. At most, they only obtained the second-grade mandate. Only He Yunzi, after disregarding the consequences and with the help of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, finally obtained it in the end. Because Wang Baole was still fighting with the first generation patriarch and his status wasn’t recognized, it caused He Yunzi, who had a first-grade mandate, to be able to activate the Eternal Star’s large-scale teleportation once.
However… when Wang Baole walked out of the imperial cemetery, the many opportunities he gained there made Wang Baole become the Divine Eye civilization’s new emperor in a sense. And because he swallowed the first generation patriarch, he also had the first-grade mandate of the Eye of the Eternal Star when he walked out.
This activated the final decision mechanism of the Eye of the Eternal Star. It needed the two people who obtained the first-grade mandate to fight. In the end, one of them would obtain the mandate of the other and become the master of the Eye of the Eternal Star.
And as they fought, the power of their mandates was sealed and couldn’t be used. This was why He Yunzi couldn’t activate the Eternal Star’s teleportation again. Hence, after he told the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord about his judgment, the plan to trap Wang Baole was born!
As long as Wang Baole died, he could obtain the final mandate of the Eye of the Eternal Star. That was the only way he could activate the Eternal Star’s teleportation and enable the Violet Gold civilization’s second wave to arrive successfully.
It was just that… this was rather difficult to carry out. After all, Wang Baole was much stronger than before, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he had 80% of a Planet realm’s combat strength. Moreover, the Heavenly Spirit Sect also suffered huge losses. However, they had no choice but to do it. Their original plan was to mobilize their forces to attack the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect again. They would seem to suppress the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, but their goal would be to kill Wang Baole while the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect was distracted.
This plan had many loopholes, but they had no choice and only one chance. Once the outside world knew of Wang Baole’s importance, it would be even harder for them to attack again.
And as they hesitated and analyzed, the left-hand elder gave a suggestion—leak out information and make the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect think that they wanted to activate the Eternal Star to bring over their second wave. That way, they could bait the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect into attacking first. Meanwhile, they would set up a trap. Of course, it would be best if they could bait Wang Baole out as well. If not… they would follow their original plan to go out and attack, forcing their way through to Wang Baole.
