Chapter 879: Two Right-Hand Elders! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The plan looked easy but was mainly a psychological attack. It turned out that... Wang Baole, the Sovereign Patriarch, and others seemed to have fallen for the trap. Furthermore, Wang Baole led a team there personally, causing the plan to fall into place extremely perfectly for the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

But to prevent the information from leaking out, He Yunzi took very drastic measures. He didn’t tell anyone from the royal family about his plans and prepared to sacrifice them. Even the other two princes didn’t know about this, thereby enabling the plan to trap Wang Baole to be successfully carried out.

As those thoughts flashed within He Yunzi’s mind, although he didn’t say it, the anticipation and greed in his eyes made Wang Baole vaguely notice the truth as his soul shook.

Killing me is more important than activating the teleportation and enabling the second wave to descend? This doesn’t make sense... unless... The light in Wang Baole’s eyes focused as a large number of thoughts appeared in his mind.

Did they set up this trap specifically for me... Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. As he felt an intense sense of uneasiness, he also tried opening his storage bag. However, he noticed that he couldn’t open his storage bag within this seal-like boundary.

This made Wang Baole feel even more gloomy as he started arranging his thoughts rapidly. In the end, he had two guesses.

One reason... might be that they predicted this beforehand or prepared sufficiently with the aim of making me fail in my mission and to stop me from interfering with their plans. This way, I won’t be able to affect the second teleportation!

Another reason... could be that my existence is affecting the activation of the second teleportation, so they have to kill me first and then activate the teleportation. The first reason doesn’t mean much, but if it’s the second reason...

Wang Baole’s expression was ugly. No matter how quickly he reacted, he was missing some crucial pieces of information and had no way to know the truth. But the fact that he was able to analyze all that just from He Yunzi’s change in expression was enough to show Wang Baole’s mental growth.

As for which guess was the correct one, it was no longer important to Wang Baole. Right now, the most important thing was for Wang Baole to break past the protective layer as fast as possible and leave.

Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as the four avatars he created returned and fused back into his body. While the Eternal Star Fire in his body flickered, he tried to take out the Planet realm palm. But the palm was affected as well and seemed to be unable to be successfully taken out. Just then, a sudden sense of danger made Wang Baole’s expression change, and he turned his head violently. When he did that, he immediately saw a blurry silhouette seemingly walking out from the void behind the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s left-hand elder.

And when he saw that silhouette clearly, Wang Baole couldn’t help but have a huge change in expression.

“You...”

“Little b*stard, we meet again!” When Wang Baole’s expression changed, the silhouette’s body rapidly gathered as it walked out of the void. The person had a head of long hair that reached his shoulders, and he was wearing a rainbow-colored robe. He looked like a middle-aged man, but the sense of aging on him made one feel that he was quite old.

That was especially so when his Planet realm cultivation exploded forth and caused the surroundings to rumble. Although this place was already considered to be in the boundaries of the Eternal Star, the person’s cultivation still formed a suppression in a large area when it was spread out.

He was... the one who fought with Wang Baole briefly at the Violet Gold New Dao Sect and the one who was scared away by Wang Baole’s self-destructing Dharmic Battleships.... the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder.

The right-hand elder’s appearance there wouldn’t have made Wang Baole’s expression change so drastically originally. However... the avatar that he left at the battlefield outside the Eternal Star, where the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and Violet Gold New Dao Sect were fighting against the Heavenly Spirit Sect, could clearly see the main battlefield. And there, on the main battlefield, beside the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord, the Planet realm cultivator clashing with the New Dao Patriarch was also the right-hand elder!

In that sense, the person in front of Wang Baole was in two different places at once!

This was the main reason his soul shook. It also made Wang Baole instantly realize that his second guess might be the correct answer!

They set up this trap, and both the left-hand elder and right-hand elder appeared. It’s definitely not just to obstruct me. It really is like He Yunzi said. They want to kill me here. And the only explanation for this is that... if they don’t kill me, the Eternal Star’s teleportation can’t be activated!

As waves of realization crashed onto Wang Baole’s mind, he thought about the anticipation he felt towards controlling the Eye of the Eternal Star in his heart previously. After analyzing rapidly, he vaguely had the true answer.

As the answer appeared in his mind, he didn’t hide the change in his expression as he spoke quickly.

“The right-hand elder actually appeared as well... It looks like you really want my mandate. But what I’m more interested in is, since the right-hand elder is here, who’s the guy fighting the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and Violet Gold New Dao Sect? Could the Heavenly Spirit Sect actually have four Planet realms instead of three?” While Wang Baole spoke, his Divine Will locked onto the three people to observe the minor changes in their expressions.

The left-hand elder narrowed his eyes, and He Yunzi did the same. However, a sneer quickly appeared at the corners of his mouth as though he didn’t care that Wang Baole could see. Then, he cupped his fists towards the left-hand elder and right-hand elder.

“I’ll leave this to you. I’ll go prepare first. Once this guy is dead, I’ll activate the Eternal Star’s teleportation portal and welcome the Violet Gold civilization’s army.” As he spoke, He Yunzi didn’t even look at Wang Baole as his body blurred. Obviously, his main body wasn’t there. Only an illusory silhouette was.

And as his words and actions were seen by Wang Baole, they were like a bolt of lightning, making the truth Wang Baole originally guessed very clear to him.

My previous guess of me being able to obtain the mandate to control the Eye of the Eternal Star with my identity was correct. And the fact that he could activate the teleportation the first time obviously shows that he had the mandate to control the eye like me at some point in time. But he wants to kill me now... which means that he either no longer has the mandate or that there’s a conflict between our mandates!

Can he recover his mandate after killing me? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and immediately tried to control the Eye of the Eternal Star. But like before, he didn’t get any response.

As for the right-hand elder, after hearing He Yunzi’s words, he nodded. When he looked towards Wang Baole, a sense of ridicule appeared in his expression.

“I might tell you who’s outside right before you die!” As he spoke, the right-hand elder raised his left hand and pressed towards his front. At the same time, the left-hand elder beside him also unleashed his cultivation together with the right-hand elder.

Instantly, rumbles shook the heavens as the protective membrane, which was previously invisible to Wang Baole, transmogrified. It was a cover-like giant bubble dispersing rainbow light!

Wang Baole... was engulfed within the bubble. And as the left-hand elder and right-hand elder attacked, the bubble immediately began shrinking after it transformed. And as it shrunk, an indescribably strong suppressive force exploded forth within the bubble and pressed towards Wang Baole from all directions.

The suppressive force’s strength actually exceeded that of an ordinary Planet realm and reached the level of a mid-stage Planet realm. Obviously, the rainbow bubble was some kind of array formation or Dharmic treasure and must have had an astonishing price. It could be considered the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s trump card, and they probably wouldn’t want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

And now... to kill Wang Baole, the elders controlled it simultaneously and unleashed it.

Without a doubt... in their eyes, although Wang Baole wasn’t a Planet realm, he was nastier than Planet realms. His thousands of Dharmic Battleships and the Planet realm palm were enough to give people no choice but to take him seriously. What was more important was that, according to their calculations, Wang Baole must have been astonishingly fast as well. Naturally, they also knew about his body’s transmogrification.

So, to prevent accidents from happening, and to not give Wang Baole any chance to escape, they shifted the battlefield to the boundary of the Eternal Star. At the same time, due to all those reasons, the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord decided to disregard the consequences and activate the Dharmic treasure that required the entire sect to spend time and offer sacrifices to build. That way, he could ensure that the trap would be carried out smoothly!

And the rainbow bubble was indeed powerful. As it circulated, Wang Baole’s body very quickly started to tremble. He felt an extremely overbearing force crush towards him from all directions.
