Chapter 913 - All Prepared and Ready to Go! (1/2)

The look on the face of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch darkened when he heard Wang Baole’s challenge. He had to admit honestly to himself that things had been going too smoothly. He had managed to string Long Nanzi along successfully for the past couple of times. That had led to his lowering his guard. As a result, he had walked right into Long Nanzi’s trap at such a critical moment. Even though all wasn’t yet lost…

His opponent now had the upper hand. He recalled what had just happened. Despite his strong urge to kill the other man right now, he couldn’t help but shudder slightly at the deviousness that Wang Baole had displayed.

He knew very well how some things might seem simple in hindsight, seeming as if everyone should have been able to guess how things would’ve turned out. But the ability to analyze what was going on and predict the events that were to follow, then formulate and carry out a targeted plan while one was still fumbling around in the dark, wasn’t a gift that everyone had.

Like Long Nanzi, for example… He was clearly harboring suspicions for quite some time. Then, he struck the lottery and managed to advance his cultivation while he was away. As a result, we didn’t notice at all when he created a separate avatar of himself… The Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch fell into deep silence, ignoring Wang Baole’s provocations. He realized who had caused the Eye of the Eternal Star’s eruption earlier. There was no way that he was going to charge into battle right now.

He was a member of the royal family, after all. His understanding of the Eye of the Eternal Star surpassed that of an ordinary cultivator. He was well aware… that Long Nanzi, who had obtained complete control over the Eye of the Eternal Star and had his strength boosted due to his proximity to the Eternal Star… would no longer feel threatened by any Planet realm cultivator. Only an Eternal Star realm cultivator would pose a threat to him now!

In fact… it would still take an Eternal Star realm cultivator a decent bit of time before he could kill Wang Baole if they were to battle it out on the Eye of the Eternal Star. There was also a distinct possibility that the Eternal Star realm cultivator might fail to kill Wang Baole. He might only succeed in cornering Wang Baole and forcing the latter to escape and teleport away.

Simply put, as long as Long Nanzi remained on the Eternal Star and didn’t take a step off the Eternal Star, he would remain, to a certain degree, invincible.

Of course… his supposed invincibility depended on a very important premise, which was that… Wang Baole remained inside the Eye of the Eternal Star!

As soon as he stepped out of the Eye of the Eternal Star, the boost to his power would decrease sharply. At that juncture, he could still be slain if a few Planet realm cultivators joined forces and attacked him.

With that thought in mind, the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch decided to ignore Wang Baole. Instead, he turned towards the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Wang Baole watched as they nodded at each other after a series of voice transmissions. He didn’t know the contents of their conversation, but the tension on their faces had eased away. They then turned and left!

Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He retreated as well, vanishing from everyone’s sight and returning to the Eternal Star.

The Eternal Star was a destructive force of nature, an awesome hurricane of light and heat to others. But to Wang Baole, who held control over it, it posed no danger or obstacle. What should have been dangerous waves of heat parted for him wherever he went.

After he had been granted full mandate, Wang Baole could sense the ability of teleportation tingling inside him. As long as he wanted to, he could call upon the Eye of the Eternal Star and teleport himself anywhere in the Divine Eye civilization, then teleport himself back to the Eternal Star.

The thought of that sent Wang Baole’s eyes flashing. He didn’t attempt anything rash, though. He decided that he was going to take some time to get comfortable with his new mandate. After he had familiarized himself with the Eye of the Eternal Star, he would decide his next course of action.

At that thought, Wang Baole picked up speed and began racing across the Eternal Star. He could feel a resonance with the Eternal Star. It was a feeling that he was familiar with. He was a Dharmic Armament cultivator, and this was the feeling that a cultivator had when he established a connection with his Dharmic Armament, the waves of resonance that he felt from such a connection.

“I was right. The Eye of the Eternal Star is just a gigantic Dharmic Artifact!” Wang Baole said thoughtfully. He was reminded of his Dark Artifact on Mars.

After such a long period of nurturing, my Dark Artifact should have reached a stage where I’m now able to excavate it and take it out of Mars!
