Chapter 878 - The Fight for the Mandate!


Chapter 878: The Fight for the Mandate!

As his soul shook at that moment, the uneasiness that dissipated previously exploded forth more intensely and spread throughout his body. Without hesitation, his body turned into a cloud of mist as he tried to leave the Eternal Star land.

However, it was too late!

Light suddenly exploded forth from the Eternal Star land. It was as though the light from the sun completely covered the land at an unimaginable speed. Following that was an astonishing wave of teleportation disturbance.

The disturbance was extremely overbearing, and the piece of land everyone was on instantly collapsed at its outer boundaries. Countless runes appeared from within it and covered the surroundings, seemingly forming a seal. This caused Wang Baole and others to be obstructed when they tried to leave.

After noticing the scene, Wang Baole’s expression turned gloomy again.

I was too careless in the end. Was this the thing the Sovereign Patriarch hid from me? Did he betray me, selling me out to the Violet Gold civilization? Wang Baole sighed in his heart. He knew the reason for his carelessness was the same as the reason he was in a passive situation when clashing with the Sovereign Patriarch. It was all because of greed. Once someone became greedy, they would get swayed by considerations of gain and loss, thereby losing the balance in their attitude.

But he felt that the possibility of the Sovereign Patriarch’s hidden thought being the fact that he betrayed him was low. That was because there was no need for him to do so. All he needed to do was join forces with the New Dao Patriarch and cooperate with the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Planet realms to easily suppress him. There was no need to go through so much trouble!

These thoughts flashed within Wang Baole’s mind, but he understood that now wasn’t the time to ponder and come to conclusions. As a cold glint flashed within his eyes, Wang Baole prepared to charge out by force. However, just as the runes appeared and formed an obstruction, the light of teleportation that surrounded the land reached its highest level. As a series of heaven-shaking rumbles sounded, the light gathered on… three people!

One was He Yunzi, one was Wang Baole, and the last one… was the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s left-hand elder!

The gathering of light formed an indescribable pulling force like it was suppressing Wang Baole. It caused Wang Baole’s entire body to tremble. But he refused to give up and thus turned into mist once again, growling while trying to escape.

However… the Heavenly Spirit Sect and Divine Eye royalty seemed to have already prepared for this. In the trap that they set up, both the obstruction and teleportation anticipated this. So, as the light gathered, even though Wang Baole turned his essence body into mist and unleashed his entire cultivation to try and escape, it was of no use. As Wang Baole’s soul shook and light pierced his eyes, his body was teleported away by force.

He Yunzi and the left-hand elder were also teleported away. As for the rest, they all remained there. As the light of teleportation dissipated, the Eternal Star land seemed to recover. However, the trembling and rumbles coming from underground represented that the land had lost all of its protective power, and it showed signs of collapsing under the high heat from the Eternal Star.

The butler and others were all shocked by this sudden change, and they all retreated rapidly. As for the two princes and other members of the royal family, their breathing quickened as their expressions showed shock and confusion. Obviously, the reason behind the changes that just happened was unknown to even them.

Wang Baole no longer cared about the Eternal Star land that was slowly collapsing and had no time to think about the members of the royal family and cultivators of the two sects. When the light of teleportation was unleashed, he felt his vision blur. In the next moment, his silhouette appeared in a vast void!

The place he appeared would be called a void because there was no sky or land there. It was a chaotic world where countless crazy heatwaves existed. The heatwaves all had different colors, but every one of them contained an astonishingly high heat.

When one looked down, they could even see an astonishing fireball in the vast expanse beneath their feet. The heatwaves and balls of gas were spread from within it.

They went past the laws of the Eternal Star’s outer area and teleported me into the outer area of the Eternal Star? Wang Baole’s soul shook. As he swept around with his gaze, he immediately recognized that… he wasn’t teleported out of the Divine Eye civilization. He was teleported from the land on the outer area of the Eternal Star… into the outer area. Although he was still some distance away from the surface of the Eternal Star, compared to the land he was at previously, he was already extremely close to the surface!

Wang Baole was already clear that he had fallen into a trap and had no time to think too much. As his expression changed, two silhouettes appeared in front and behind him, respectively, and they were He Yunzi and the left-hand elder. Although He Yunzi’s cultivation was the weakest, he had already prepared beforehand, and a protective light spread from his body. It was obvious that this protective light was the reason he could withstand being in this area.

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.
