Chapter 264 - Revival From the Brink of Death!

Chapter 264: Revival From the Brink of Death! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was said that when one was on the brink of death, he would see a light appearing in a world that was pitch-black. The light was like a source of guidance, causing one’s body to rise until it eventually integrated with the light.

What happened after the integration, where the person would go, and whether one would still retain their consciousness... There may be people who knew the answers to those questions, but they were unable to provide the answers to those secrets.

Wang Baole had already seen the light. In the pitch-black world, with the exception of the old lady’s frightening face, there was only a light that had silently appeared behind her.

To put it more accurately, it was several rays instead of one that had appeared suddenly. As it appeared, a strong, imposing force was emanated from within those rays.

It was not very clear, but Wang Baole managed to vaguely see that the seven or eight rays were actually the figures of several individuals that had floated towards him. They didn’t have any facial features, which made it impossible to see what they looked like. The vibe they were giving off was so much stronger than that of the Moon Spirit that it was incomparable.

They were... The strongest forms of existence within the Mystic Luna Realm, second only to the giant Ancient Corpse... The Night Immortals!

The level of cultivation of each Night Immortal was similar to that of a Core Formation cultivator. There were even a few of them who were able to battle cultivators who had perfected Core Formation, especially as they all had the characteristic which made them immortal. The characteristic, to a certain extent, made them exist even more boisterously than the Ancient Corpse in the Federation!

After all, the Ancient Corpse had been in a deep slumber all those years, and wouldn’t awaken unless it was provoked. On the other hand, Night Immortals preferred to live in a group. Even the Federation was unclear about how many of them existed. All they knew was that there was an estimated fifty of them, spending most of their time in the regions of the moon’s dark side. Even though they would also occasionally appear on the moon’s visible side, it was rare.

They were a huge threat. They were filled with animosity towards outsiders, and wouldn’t rest once they saw them, not until they killed the outsiders. However, thankfully, they didn’t have a spirit sense like Core Formation cultivators and had to depend on their eyes to detect everything. As long as one wasn’t noticed by them, he or she could escape.

That characteristic was similar to that of the Eye Ghoul.

It seemed like Wang Baole and the old lady had been seen by the group of Night Immortals that happened to have floated in their direction. Instantly, the Night Immortals charged directly towards the old lady.

The old lady, who was in the midst of kicking Wang Baole to death, was taken aback as she stopped in her attacks. Even she was afraid of the Night Immortals. It wouldn’t have been so bad if there was only one Night Immortal, but now that a group of them had neared, she was stricken with fear. She knew clearly that she must definitely not be haunted by the Night Immortals, as when that happened, it would be difficult to escape, and death would definitely fall upon her.

The moment the Night Immortals appeared, which was the instant the old lady paused, Wang Baole—whose eyes were filled with despair and madness and whose laborious breathing had come to a halt—suddenly stared with his eyes wide open. Even though his body was weak, he was filled with indescribable pain, and fresh blood was still flowing out from the wound on his stomach, he suddenly had strength coming from an unknown source... Perhaps the suppression from Core Formation had suddenly disappeared, such that he could stand up, struggling as he scurried backwards, hugging his stomach.

He had only one thought in his mind, and that was to escape. Escape out of that place... Escape, so that he could perhaps survive!

D*rn it! If Chen Hui hadn’t known that Wang Baole possessed a Dharmic Armament, the old lady wouldn’t have further attacked the severely injured Wang Baole, who was an insignificant person in the old lady’s eyes. However, it was clear that the Dharmic Armament was an attractive item, even to the old lady.

The old lady wanted to give chase, but the group of Night Immortals suddenly picked up speed and surrounded her. That made the old lady troubled, as she could no longer go after Wang Baole.

After all, the Night Immortals were comparable in cultivation to a Core Formation cultivator. With all of them ganging up, even someone like the old lady would be terribly beaten to a state that she could no longer spare anymore effort on Wang Baole. The most important thing to her would be to ensure her safety.

After several hours, the old lady left, evidently beaten to her bones. Fresh blood was flowing out from the corners of her mouth, and she looked awful as her entire body was filled with pain. In order to escape from the group attack by the Night Immortals, she had to exhaust several valuable Numinous Treasures to obtain an opportunity to escape and avoid their pursuit.

She was about to change the direction she was heading and continue her search for Wang Baole, but roars from the Night Immortals sounded off behind her once again. She turned around, surprised as in the skies a distance away, another four Night Immortals had appeared, charging towards her.

Sh*t! Why are there Night Immortals again? The old lady gritted her teeth helplessly as she continued speeding away towards the visible side of the moon. A bizarre feeling overwhelmed her as she felt that the Night Immortals on the dark side of the moon seemed to be against her for some reason...

However, she was still indignant towards Wang Baole’s escape. She groaned and took out a jade slip, which in that case wasn’t a voice transmission ring but one that could be used for voice transmission even with the array formation seal present in the Mystic Luna Realm. It was developed by the Galactic Dusk Sect with other members of the clan, with the help of the Fellow Daoists of another species.

There weren’t many such jade slips and were therefore not distributed to True Breath realm cultivators. However, of those from the Galactic Dusk Sect that had entered the Mystic Luna Realm, there weren’t only True Breath realm and Core Formation realm cultivators, but also large numbers of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators!

Therefore, using the voice transmission, the old lady sent out an order, gathering Foundation Establishment realm cultivators from the Galactic Dusk Sect to find and kill Wang Baole!

You’re unlucky. The direction you escaped is not far from the secret location in which our sect is located! The moment the old lady gave the order, the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the dark side of the moon immediately responded. A glow flashed across their faces, as they were all glad to take on the task given by the Grand Supreme Elder.

Therefore, very quickly, the Foundation Establishment cultivators began to move out. They even gathered some True Breath realm disciples to join them in the search.

At the same time, as an ally of Galactic Dusk Sect, Zhou Fei from the Five Generation Sky Clan that had previously tried to pursue and kill Wang Baole, remained ‘sentimental’ to him as he also carried out the search. He even activated his network of friends from the Galactic Dusk Sect, telling them to inform him if they met Wang Baole.

As the search carried on, Zhou Fei was rejuvenated, and somewhat anxious the moment he received the news. He was afraid that others would be faster than him. However, considering that he had received the news, it meant that there weren’t many who were aware of the Dharmic Armament. Therefore, without wasting time, he rushed there immediately.

Gradually, a vast net filled with greed and intention to kill was cast above the dense forest of the moon’s dark side. Gathering both True Breath realm cultivators and Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, the quest to find and kill Wang Baole had begun!

No one from the four Dao Colleges and the other factions, with the exception of the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Galactic Dusk Sect, knew about what was going on.

They were putting in their utmost effort to attack the array formation seal. After all the time spent trying to break it, it seemed to have worked. It wouldn’t be long before the array formation was completely destroyed.

The members from the Five Generation Sky Clan and Galactic Dusk Sect amongst them didn’t sense anything out of place. They all put on a relatively anxious expression as they cooperated with the rest in breaking the array formation.

It could be said that right then, the moon seemed to have become an invisible vortex, attracting most of the elites form the entire Federation, with the exception of the cultivators from the Martian Colony.

The Martian Colony was one of the most important bases of the Federation. Its purpose wasn’t to solve the issues on the moon, and was therefore not deployed.

However, the number of Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered on the moon was astonishing. Their movement also became the media’s spotlight within the entire Federation.

After all, in that era, movie stars were no longer the focal point for the masses. The cultivators were the ones who could gather all of the people’s attention.

That was especially so as the transformation of the Mystic Luna Realm roused the entire Federation. Innumerable people were keeping watch, and rumors were abundant. In Phoenix City, Wang Baole’s parents were pale with shock as they watched reports of the Mystic Luna Realm from the news.

“Husband... I... I feel light-headed, and my right eyelid is twitching... Baole...” Wang Baole’s mother’s eyes were reddened, apparently from crying. As she watched the news, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably again.

“That child... Why did he enter Ethereal Dao College and become a cultivator? Isn’t it better if he had stayed as a commoner?” The tears from Wang Baole’s mother became uncontrollable as she spoke. In that period of time, she seemed to have aged. Before Wang Baole left for the moon, he had ordered Liu Daobin to bring his parents the Ethereal Fruit for consumption. However, the anxiety she felt, and her worries for Wang Baole’s wellbeing, still made her seem tired and old.

“Don’t think about such nonsense. Don’t you know Baole? He looks honest on the surface but is a cheeky person. When was he ever at a disadvantage?” Wang Baole’s father also appeared visibly aged. However, he didn’t reveal his anxiety as he consoled his wife.

In reality, not only was his right eyelid twitching, but an indescribable feeling also arose in his heart. It felt like he was about to lose something precious, and that caused the wrinkles on his face to deepen and grow in number...
