Chapter 282: The Night Immortal King Awakens!

The Red Star neared, carrying a bloody red glow with it as it traveled at high speed from Earth. It passed through the starry skies directly above the Mystic Luna Realm’s array formation. The array formation, which had largely been broken by elites of the Federation, were now being attacked. The sky’s appearance was transformed as a loud boom spread in all directions!

Looking from afar, one could see that the moon was floating in the starry night sky. As the Red Star descended, a red glow covered the entire moon instantly. What followed was a cracking sound similar to glass breaking, erupting from the moon. It was like heaven and earth were breaking apart into a million pieces.

It took just a brief moment for innumerable pieces of fragments to explode out in all directions. The entire moon was vibrating, and at that very moment, the array formation on it was instantly destroyed!

That wasn’t the end. As the array formation of the Mystic Luna Realm broke apart, the elites from the various factions were immensely surprised and were about to move forward. However, the Red Star went ahead, entering the destroyed array formation and forming a long rainbow as it charged towards the restricted area on the dark side of the Mystic Luna Realm!

It was like a blood-colored shooting star, shocking everyone!

The Federation President and all other elites from the various factions rushed there. They gathered together and dashed towards the moon’s dark side instead of searching for their respective disciples.

At the same time, at the moment the array formation was destroyed, the caves on the dark side of the moon were vibrating vigorously. The black-robed middle-aged man formed from the tree was so frightened and anxious that his eyes became bloodshot. He sensed that the array formation had broken down and that a killing force was fast approaching. Simultaneously, he felt that all the Core Formation realm elites from the various factions were nearing him at that instant.

That was completely different from his original plan!

He had only one target from the beginning, and that was the fruit. However, he knew that it was immensely difficult to attain it. Even entering the moon was a challenging task.

After all, the array formation of the Mystic Luna Realm wasn’t something he could break apart. It was impossible even though his parent tree was on the moon. Unless someone cooperated and worked with him, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to control the array formation of the Mystic Luna Realm.

Therefore, in order to obtain the fruit, there had to be perfect coordination throughout the process.

This made him begin a risky plot to mingle amongst the various factions. Even though the factions made use of him, he was also taking advantage of them, so that while the various factions kept tabs on each other, he could absorb the fruit’s life source to the greatest extent to advance and become a Nascent Soul realm cultivator!

Once he became a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, he wouldn’t have to fear anything anymore. Then, he could agitate the Night Immortal King and wake him up in order to create chaos on the moon. He could either leave or hide to find the right time to ambush. The level of cultivation possessed by a Nascent Soul realm cultivator would make him formidable if he were to ambush a Core Formation realm cultivator. Even if Duan Muque was in possession of a Divine Armament, he was confident that he could push Duan Muque to his wits’ end, and even kill him in the process!

A scenario like that took elaborate planning and involved many sacrifices so that it would play out perfectly. After all, Duan Muque was an extremely sly person, making it difficult to trick him. Therefore, he pretended to go along with the Federation, helping them massacre the Five Generation Sky Clan and Galactic Dusk Sect and also handing out evidence against them.

The extremely challenging process finally gave him a chance to attack. However, when that chance was destroyed by the Sect Lord of the Galactic Dusk Sect, he chose to abandon the Federation and work with the Galactic Dusk Sect instead.

However, just as the tables turned, Wang Baole, who was a mere Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, appeared. Despite that, the giant tree bore with it in order to reach the Nascent Soul realm. It cooperated with Wang Baole and began the absorption process after reaching an agreement with him.

He had initially thought that as someone who had perfected the Core Formation realm, absorbing the fruit could be done extremely quickly such that he could become the Nascent Soul realm even before Duan Muque realized something was amiss and tried to stop him.

In the end, however, he realized in a state of mania that Wang Baole was absorbing it faster than himself. It wouldn’t have mattered it was just a difference in speed. Instead, since there was a limited life source within the fruit, the faster and the greater the amount Wang Baole absorbed, the lesser there would be left for himself. That would directly affect his speed of advancement!

Seeing that this was the case, the black-robed middle-aged man formed from the tree turned anxious with bloodshot eyes. He was so close to becoming a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, and it would take too long if he were to go step by step. His only choice was to swallow Wang Baole whole!

As for waking the Night Immortal King, he figured that even though Wang Baole was able to do it, it still required some time. It was therefore impossible for the Night Immortal King to wake up immediately. He was unwilling to take the risk previously, but now, he had no choice but to do so!

Therefore, with great determination, he gave his all and grabbed in the direction of Wang Baole. However, at the moment he set his heart to it, and as the fifth lotus seed appeared in Wang Baole’s body, the fruit was completely shriveled dry!

“No!” This scene made the black-robed middle-aged man who was about to launch his attack shocked, and he exploded in rage!

Isn’t this going against me? The absorption rate is too fast to be true! Wang Baole was surprised as well. In reality, after the fifth lotus seed appeared, its speed wasn’t just at five times the initial rate, but several more times than that!

The rate of absorption and swallowing was already at the limit. Now, seeing the giant tree go crazy with rage, Wang Baole stepped back immediately, crushing the Mystic Trace Beads that he had been holding in his hands. Releasing the suppression on his green lotus and the teleportation force of the Mystic Trace Fog, he caused the green lotus within his body to shake vigorously.

Wake up, wake up, wake up!

As the bead broke and the fog spread to engulf him, the black-robed middle-aged man formed from the giant tree approached quickly while roaring angrily. He sucked, and instantly, the fog surrounding Wang Baole was absorbed into the giant tree’s mouth even before it could activate the teleportation function.

The giant tree shook as it grabbed towards Wang Baole!

He hadn’t neared Wang Baole, but he was already so imposing that he formed a suppressive force. That caused Wang Baole to hold his breath. As if a catastrophe was about to begin, Wang Baole grew numb. He didn’t have time to be frightened as he activated all his cultivation and unleashed all his physical strength. He even took out almost all of his Numinous Treasures and was wielding the Dharmic Armament in his hands. He flailed it and tried to block himself!

A loud boom emerged, and an indescribably strong force erupted from the hands of the black-robed middle-aged man’s hands, forming a hurricane that destroyed everything in its path as it swept forward. When it smashed into Wang Baole, the Numinous Treasure he used to shield himself broke down entirely. His body trembled violently as bright red blood spewed from his mouth. Even the Dharmic Armament was unable to resist the force. As the loud bang reverberated, Wang Baole’s body was grabbed by the giant tree!

A look of viciousness flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes. He stared as he roared loudly, retrieving the scabbard in his body and using it to shield himself!

Black and purple mosquitoes, if the both of you don’t emerge, we’ll all die! As Wang Baole screamed, the giant tree was fast approaching and was about to land on the scabbard. Instantly, the scabbard flashed, and the purple mosquito emerged for the first time.

It seemed unhappy and somewhat indignant. Unwillingly, it charged towards the giant tree.

When they made contact, the black-robed middle-aged man screamed painfully as he retreated. His right hand instantly turned purple, and the purple hue swiftly spread. Every area it passed began to rot.

Wang Baole was shocked. Seeing the purple mosquito returning lazily, he didn’t think much as he kept his scabbard. He was fearful of being blocked by the giant tree and decided to take out all his Mystic Trace Beads, crushing all of them together to unleash the fog. His body became a blur as he began to be teleported. At the same time, he punched himself in the stomach, agitating the green lotus while activating the cultivation in his body. He then agitated the green lotus once again, shaking the green lotus extremely vigorously.

“Wang Baole!” The giant tree screamed angrily upon seeing that Wang Baole was about to escape. He prevented the poison from spreading as he dashed out like a maniac. He wanted to absorb the fog to prevent Wang Baole from leaving.

However, at this time, as Wang Baole continuously shook the green lotus to call for it, an extremely deafening roar emerged from somewhere deep underground!

Roar!

A loud boom reverberated in all directions, shaking the entire moon. At the same time, the ground above the caves all burst open!

A black patch of fog emerged and spewed towards the sky. The walls broke apart, while the tree trunk and the shriveled fruit instantly rotted, disappearing into thin air… At the same time, a large black hand half the size of the cave emerged from the ground, grabbing a hold of the land as it struggled to emerge!

Clanking sounds reverberated in all directions. It was as if a supreme being that was previously restrained was born!

An indescribable wave of strong force and mania that seemed to be capable of destroying life erupted towards the sky, causing the moon to shake violently, and producing waves in the starry sky!

The force was simply astounding. At the same time, the black-robed middle-aged man received the most impact, and his face showed how fearful he was. He no longer cared about wanting to grab Wang Baole as he dashed out right away, his head smashing into the walls. With a loud boom, he broke through the stone layer and charged towards the skies. He was indignant, but he had no choice but to escape like a maniac!

Wang Baole was now in a state of shock. The Mystic Trace Fog was enveloping his body as the large hand grabbed forcefully. A large figure seemed to have climbed out from the deep trenches, and at that instant, Wang Baole disappeared, having been teleported away.
