Chapter 578: Opening the Seal!

The tide had turned!

At this moment, both the surrounding spectators and the Dao Palace cultivators outside were watching with their mouths agape. The battle between Wang Baole and Dugu Lin was full of twists and turns. Initially, it was clear that Dugu Lin was in the lead, and was pressuring Wang Baole strongly.

However, to the outer world cultivators, they knew about Wang Baole’s blood-colored meridian armor which he used to suppress Zhou Chudao. As they watched, they realized that Wang Baole didn’t unleash it even in the face of crisis. Some of them even thought that perhaps there were disadvantages to that move of Wang Baole’s, which was why he didn’t unleash it. As Dugu Lin unleashed the five-colored petals that caused Wang Baole’s blood and bones to be destroyed, Wang Baole was about to be defeated!

However, all the changes that happened after that shocked everyone. For some unknown reason, the black-colored petal switched alliances!

This betrayal was also the factor that turned the situation around. Wang Baole grabbed hold of the opportunity, unleashing all of his power and beginning to destroy everything. The blood-colored armor that wasn’t seen previously instantly appeared. In his attack, he snatched away the flower with only one petal remaining from Dugu Lin, inflicting severe injuries on him with two shocking punches!

The punches made fresh blood spew out of Dugu Lin’s mouth, and caused his chest to cave in. His body slammed against the mountains. At that moment, as Wang Baole emerged, he was like a spear, and he was about to attack Dugu Lin once again!

Everything that happened caused everyone’s breathing to quicken as they watched on. However, even before they could gasp, Wang Baole’s pupils constricted. He felt an astonishing force emanating continuously from Dugu Lin, who had crashed into the mountain before him.

However, Wang Baole didn’t stop. A chilly glow flashed across his eyes as he picked up speed and neared Dugu Lin. He punched ahead, landing his fist on Dugu Lin’s caved chest.

However, at that moment, Dugu Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes had turned a pale gold color, and the glow from them wasn’t only extremely imposing, but it also carried a sense of excitement!

“The first seal, open!”

The moment he spoke, an imposing force was unleashed from Dugu Lin’s body. Dugu Lin laughed heartily, raising his right hand, where an identical golden glow spread from. He punched the fast approaching Wang Baole!

A loud boom reverberated instantly. Wang Baole snorted and retreated thousands of feet as his body shook. As a brilliant blood-colored glow emerged from the Flame Snatch Thearch Armor, he charged out once again towards Dugu Lin, who had leaped up from the mountains, and attacked him again!

At that moment, the duo were attacking each other with punches through the air. They fell from the sky, crashing into the mountain peaks and then leaping up at the same time to continue fighting under the night sky map. In the short span of an hour, the ground was broken, the mountains had crumbled, and only the twin peak mountain stood steadily, as it was deliberately avoided by both of them.

In those five minutes, both Wang Baole and Dugu Lin had forgotten how many punches they had thrown out. They had battled to the best of their abilities and were both breathing rapidly. However, the desire for combat continued burning crazily in their eyes.

It wouldn’t be extinguished if no winner emerged!

“Again!” Amidst the loud boom, Wang Baole laughed again and licked away the blood on the corner of his mouth. He neared Dugu Lin once again, who then frowned. Even though he had enjoyed the battle so far, he was also being surprised again and again.

In reality, having unlocked the first seal, his combat capabilities were significantly boosted. However, after the continuous attacks for the past five minutes, he began to feel that his body couldn’t keep up with the changes that were happening in the battle!

To put it more accurately, his speed of recovery couldn’t be compared to Wang Baole’s!

As such, after the duo continually attacked each other, Wang Baole could continue making his attacks as he recovered quickly. However, for Dugu Lin, even though he was able to withstand everything at first, if this were to continue, he would eventually be completely exhausted!

I shouldn’t compete against his physical body! Dugu Lin narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand to attack at full force. When his fist touched Wang Baole’s, he leveraged on the force and retreated. As Wang Baole picked up speed and approached him, he suddenly stopped. A peculiar glow flashed across his eyes as he sealed his hands and bellowed.

“Vermilion!”

With that word, a purple-colored sea of fire immediately emerged from his body. The purple-colored flames were scorching, and the moment they appeared, the surrounding space was warped by the flames. The ground melted, the mountainous rocks were turned into lava, and everything else was shrouded in an environment of extremely high temperature!

As the space warped, the outline of a vermilion bird appeared from it. It was initially colorless and without a physical body, as if it was formed by the waves produced by the warping. Everything was transparent!

However, the flame was colored, causing the vermilion bird that was produced from the warped nothingness to turn a purple color. It was a thousand feet wide, and it enveloped Dugu Lin within it before it chirped at Wang Baole and dashed towards him!

From a distance, it was impossible to see Dugu Lin anymore. One could only see the purple-colored vermillion bird, its wings opened as it charged towards Thearch Armor together with the churning sea of fire!

The cultivators outside were all shocked, and the Nascent Soul realm cultivators looked extremely solemn. They knew very clearly that right now, the combat power unleashed by Dugu Lin was on the level of a Nascent Soul realm cultivator!

Even if it were them, they would have to put in their utmost effort to resist such a force. Some of them even predicted that Wang Baole would definitely be defeated!

However, with everyone focusing their attention on what was happening as the vermillion bird neared, an undetectable glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes. He knew that there was no way he could avoid it. Therefore, he screamed loudly, clenching his right hand into a fist as he punched!

That punch was a culmination of two times the collective power and three times the force of the Flame Snatch Thearch Armor. When it was released, Wang Baole’s Flame Snatch Thearch Armor seemed to have shrunk by seventy percent!

It was several hundred feet tall previously and was now only sixty feet tall. The power of Thearch Armor was all accumulated in the punch and released!

Looking at everything that was happening, in front of the vermillion bird, as Wang Baole attacked with his punch, a gigantic illusory fist a hundred feet wide landed on the vermillion bird. When contact was made, Wang Baole vomited fresh blood, and the Thearch Armor in his body also produced cracking sounds as his body was thrown back.

The vermillion bird was extremely beaten. Even though it wasn’t devastated, a huge cave had appeared in its chest, and it looked solemnly at Dugu Lin.

This is the end! Dugu Lin took a deep breath. To him, Wang Baole was the strongest opponent he had ever met in his life. In the face of such an opponent, he chose not to allow any further attacks to be made by him. As he spoke, he turned and charged towards Wang Baole with the severely injured vermillion bird!

However, the moment he neared, a glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes, and he chanted in his mind!

“Enlightened, prisoner of the Dao of heaven, all sentient beings must endure immeasurable calamities…”

It was the Dao Scripture!

He may be heavily injured, but in reality, that was the form of retaliation he had thought of during the crossfire just now. As he chanted the Dao Scripture in his mind, a frightening and indescribable force emerged from the depths of the Universe, about to be awakened. Instantly, it arrived in the Solar System, on the ancient greenish-bronze sword, in Vast Expanse Dao Palace, and in… the Infinite Spells Array Formation!

Boom!

The Dao Palace cultivators outside felt their minds buzz noisily with activity. They were all surprised, and the higher their level of cultivation, the more significantly they could feel it. That was especially so for Mie Liezi and Feng Qiuran, who were now aghast as they stood up and exclaimed.

“What is this aura!”

All of them, who were immersed in shock, didn’t notice that Daoist You Ran beside them had blood spewing out of his mouth. Even with his perseverance, he didn’t manage to withstand the impact and opened his mouth slightly. Even though his mouth wasn’t fully opened, the shape of his mouth had turned into a square!

The blood disappeared instantly when he reacted to what was happening!

Dugu Lin, who was on the trial grounds, also shook vigorously as his mind buzzed with activity. His cultivation was being messed up, and the vermillion bird could no longer sustain the fight with its injuries as it broke apart. When that happened, and as Dugu Lin shook violently, a chilly glow appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. He charged forward like a ferocious light ray towards Dugu Lin!
