The origins of the stone tablet realm were a mystery to the ignorant. However, to Wang Baole and the supremacies outside the stone tablet, it was no secret.

This place was formed from Luo’s right hand.

It was originally very stable. However, due to Luo’s death, the seal didn’t have a lasting source. It was like a rootless tree that gradually withered, causing Luo’s right hand to grow dimmer and dimmer, losing its original strength.

This was also the reason why Luo was able to fight against the emperor’s main body, but his left hand was only able to barely block the emperor’s clone. In the end, he even managed to avoid it.

In the end, Luo’s hand had lost its life force.

But now… in the Elder’s eyes, the vast hand that extended out of the stone tablet realm was very different from what he had once seen from afar. It was no longer withering and dimming, but… filled with life force!

This life force obviously couldn’t have come from the fallen Luo, but from… Wang Baole!

This was also the reason why the elder lost his voice. That was because the only way to accomplish this was… to refine the stone stele world.

Only by refining the stone stele world into a part of one’s own body would one be able to incorporate the Luo hand into one’s own body and renew its life force.

This made fear rise in the Elder’s heart. What he was afraid of wasn’t Wang Baole’s cultivation. In fact, the fourth step wasn’t enough to shake him.

What made him afraid was Wang Baole’s identity and the fishing intent he had shown earlier.

The wood tribulation… The old man narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

He knew the origins of the black wood. It was formed from one of the five original origins of the Wood Dao in the endless universe. It was the pinnacle of wood, the source of all living beings’cultivation of the wood dao laws. It was also a manifestation of the tribulation.

This was because these five original origins did not have any consciousness. In other words, it was almost impossible for them to have true consciousness!

Therefore, they would not affect the cultivators cultivating their dao. They would only follow their instincts. They would bring down the tribulation of life-extermination on all living beings who tried to tamper with the logic at the bottom of the universe.

However, since ancient times, there had only been one person who could bring down the tribulation of life-extermination, and that was the imperial emperor.

If the emperor succeeded in transcending the tribulation, then all living beings in the cosmos, including the Paragons, would have no choice but to bow their heads. This was something he was unwilling to do, and it was also the reason why he had convinced the others to join forces with him.

On the other hand, if the emperor failed, then the ten thousand daos that had been contained by him would return. Anyone who had reached the paragon level would have a chance to comprehend them, and at that time… perhaps a new emperor would be born, a new empyreal king would be born among them.

Hence, under the influence of Wang Baole, the plan to use the wood weapon was born. The stone stele world that was sealed by the Luo hand was unique in the beginning. That was why the plan was naturally carried out here.

According to the original plan, Wang Baole would be a weapon that could tear apart the empyreal king. If he succeeded, the empyreal King would fail his tribulation and die.

If Wang Baole failed, the emperor would be left with a fatal flaw. He wouldn’t be able to reach perfection, and there would be a possibility of him dying.

At the same time, due to the unique nature of the source of wood, it was almost impossible for him to develop a true consciousness. Therefore, the plan had added a layer of protection to prevent him from losing control. That was also the reason why he didn’t pay too much attention to Wang Baole, even though he had personally witnessed Wang Baole’s growth along the way, he didn’t care too much about it.

To him, it was just a weapon. Even if he had a consciousness, that consciousness… would still have limited growth. There was no need to worry about it. Theoretically speaking, the other party… wasn’t real. Furthermore, there were some other reasons as well, he… even if he was standing right in front of him, it was impossible for him to see him.

It was as if they were from two different dimensions.

However, all of this had happened because of the daughter of one of the autarchs. If it had been any other autarch, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But this autarch… was incredibly powerful, and was someone whom he had convinced all of the other autarchs to do the same, and yet, he had tacitly agreed to this Autarch’s actions.

This was the first deviation, and now… There was a second deviation!

The wood soldier had grown beyond what he had planned. He had used his imperial emperor clone as bait, and now… he could see him!

This caused a huge wave in his heart. It made him realize that his plan… had gone out of control.

The wood soldier had gone out of control!

This is impossible… an immortal, an immortal! The elder’s breathing quickened. He seemed to have thought of something. When he looked at Wang Baole’s face on the stone tablet again, a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

He understood that the reason for the loss of control might be… the immortal inheritance that had existed since ancient times in this large universe.

If the plan that he had started was a fixed framework that was almost impossible to break, then immortals… were free and unrestrained because of their freedom!

The two contradicted each other, and the latter was clearly… Stronger!

“What exactly is the immortal of this universe?”The elder was silent. Wang Yiyi’s father remained silent, and Wang Baole remained silent as well.

Luo Zhi’s hand extended out of the stone tablet realm. To the elder, it was boundless and filled with life force. However, to Wang Baole, that was not the case.

What was spreading out from Luo Zhi’s hand was not life force, but… Dark Qi!

Dark Qi that was extremely dense!

That was because it was formed from dark qi. That was because… what Wang Baole understood was not just the five elements.

He had already understood the last three dao of the eight Extreme Dao before he had perfected the five elements. After the five elements was yin-yang, and after yin-yang was carefree!

Extreme Yin, extreme yang, extreme carefree!

However, there was a lack of extreme yang, and it was difficult for Wang Baole to obtain it. That was why extreme carefree wasn’t perfected. However, he had already mastered extreme yin. It was formed from the fusion of the Dark Sect’s Dao of death.

Therefore, a change that the elder and the youth couldn’t predict appeared. Wang Baole’s cultivation wasn’t five dao, but six and a half dao!

The extra half Dao was carefree.

The six and a half dao allowed his strongest clone to fight against the youth. At the same time, that half dao of carefree made Wang Baole question his own existence.

He wanted to know how many people were paying attention to this battle.

How many people were trying to influence him.

He wanted to know where his true form, the black wood, came from.

He wouldn’t believe what others said, so he wanted to fish.

He wanted to use the emperor’s clone as bait to see who would come.

He wanted to see. It was just like how he had struggled to see the outside world despite his limits in the Heavenly Dharma Lord’s heavenly fate book in his previous life. It was the same for him now. He wanted to see what was going on.

Therefore, Wang Baole hid his true body and silently refined… The stone stele world.

He knew that no matter what he saw, the stone stele world was his root. Therefore, he wanted to control the stone stele world in his hands First!

At that moment, he saw it.

After a moment of silence, Wang Baole suddenly smiled. Under the elder’s complicated gaze, he raised his hand, which was holding onto the wood dao reincarnation, and gently pinched it.

There was a cracking sound. The sound was clear and crisp, but it seemed to be able to shake one’s soul. It seemed to come from the depths of the universe, and it also seemed to reverberate from here to the depths of the universe. It made the Elder’s heart jolt, and it also caused the void from all directions to gather, and the gazes that were focused on this place.., all of them turned solemn.

The Reincarnation was destroyed!

“You wanted him dead, and I have done it.”

“Then from this moment on…”

“Don’t Provoke Me!”

Wang Baole’s voice was low and deep. As it traveled into the universe, the face on the stone tablet disappeared along with Luo Zhi’s hand. The sound of explosions erupted in a manner that shook the void, and ripples spread wildly in all directions, the stone tablet… was replaced by a giant black tree!

The giant tree stood tall in the starry sky.
