A World Worth Protecting

generated from his self-destruction to force back the joint attack and give his soul a chance to escape.
In the next instant, his soul was slipping away from the jaws of death and retreating desperately from the battlefield.

“Long Nanzi!” Cries of resentment and hate emerged from the left-hand elder’s soul.
They were filled with pure venom and madness.
The losses that the left-hand elder had suffered were clearly immense.
While his soul was intact, his physical body had been destroyed.
What made things worse… was the destruction of his planet.
His level of cultivation had plunged as a result of that, and he was never going to be able to advance to the Planet realm again!

His hatred for Wang Baole was beyond measure.
He wasn’t going to let him get away with it.
Wang Baole stood in the distance as venom and fury flooded the left-hand elder’s thoughts.
An icy glint flickered in Wang Baole’s eyes.
Then, something materialized above his head… a second broken finger!

“Try and curse my name again.
I dare you.”

The left-hand elder’s furious screams fell silent instantly.
He stamped down on the rage and resentment inside him and retreated hastily without looking back, putting a vast distance between the both of them immediately.
His defeated, miserable appearance was a sore sight indeed.

The consequences of his planet being destroyed were showing.
Waves of destructive spirit energy rose like a sudden hurricane and swept across the cosmos.
It looked capable of leveling everything in its path.
The battlefield seemed to look blurry all of a sudden.
The Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s Sovereign Patriarch and the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord were both forced to retreat in the aftermath of the planet’s destruction.
There was no way they could have continued their battle.
They hastily tried to weaken the destructive aftershock waves from the destruction of the left-hand elder’s planet.

After all… even if they could survive the aftershock waves, nine out of ten of the remaining cultivators on the battlefield wouldn’t if they were to allow the destructive waves to flood the cosmos rampantly.

Such devastation was something that the leaders of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and the Heavenly Spirit Sect found unacceptable.
The sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect had brought along his sect’s disciples to this fight, after all.
In addition, his sect was merely one of many sects involved in the invasion.
It would be best if he could secure victory in their first wave of attack, but he wasn’t willing to pay the price of the loss of numerous lives on his end for triumph.

Deafening thunder rumbled and reverberated across the battlefield as the two leaders retreated and tried to weaken the destructive aftershock waves that were sweeping across the cosmos.

At that point, everyone else had just managed to regain their full vision.
The first thing they saw was the trembling form of the left-hand elder as he made a hasty escape into the distance.

Horror swept across the Heavenly Spirit Sect forces, and waves of shock rose inside them.
A commotion quickly broke out amongst the cultivators, and they started to retreat instinctively.

“The left-hand elder…”

“The left-hand elder has fallen?”

“Look at those red rocks all around us… Heavens, are those his Planet form?”

The cultivators from the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect were similarly struck by awe and terror.
But they were the ones who were facing an invasion at the moment, so their shock was intermingled with fierce excitement.
They advanced as the Heavenly Spirit Sect retreated, throwing themselves into battle fearlessly.

All of a sudden, the tides had turned.
The Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord let loose a howl of fury.
His bloodshot eyes stared unblinkingly at the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s Sovereign Patriarch and Wang Baole, narrowing as his gaze fell upon the broken finger hovering above Wang Baole’s head.
He stamped down the anger and madness inside him and, with a flip of his sleeve, summoned a hurricane that drew the surviving Heavenly Spirit Sect forces away into a rapid retreat.

The Violet Gold civilization’s first attempted invasion… had failed.
They had suffered massive losses!

The cause of their terrible defeat was… Wang Baole’s participation in the battle!

The cultivators from the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect weren’t going to let the Heavenly Spirit Sect leave so easily.
They made a furious charge at their enemies and continued fighting until the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord managed to send every sect member away with his divine power.
Only then did they stop fighting.
There was a brief moment of silence before cheers erupted across the battlefield.
Those were the agitated cries of men who had just escaped from the jaws of death.

The Sovereign Patriarch of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, who had been keeping the fight going, was struggling to maintain his strong front.
He threw a quick glance at Wang Baole and swallowed the blood that was pooling in his mouth without even twitching.
An honest smile appeared on his face.
Disregarding his status and his level of cultivation, he turned towards Wang Baole and extended a deep bow towards the latter in the presence of his disciples.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi, for your aid! Both myself and the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect are forever indebted to you!”

In the past, he wouldn’t have addressed Long Nanzi as his fellow Daoist.

He wouldn’t have treated Long Nanzi as an equal.

The change in his tone and form of address showed… the drastic change in his attitude!
