A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 962: Chapter 962 regarded the stars as ants!

With the cultivation level of the sovereign of Starfall, its judgment was rarely wrong when it came to the advancement of spiritual immortals to planets. In fact, that was indeed the case. The masked woman… did not knock out the ninth time.

It was not that she did not want to, but she had even used a secret technique. However, the ninth time was different from the sixth time. The little fatty could knock six times under the secret technique, but she could not knock nine times under the secret technique.

The difference between the ninth strike and the sixth strike was an insurmountable gap between heaven and Earth.

Even though it was a pity, the masked woman was in a good mood. In the end, she chose a purple star among the three special stars, fused with it, and disappeared from everyone’s sight, when she appeared… She was already in the star she had chosen.

The next step would be fusion and a breakthrough. The breakthrough here wouldn’t pose a problem in terms of safety. This was also the final step of every training in the fallen star lands.

Everyone continued to strike. There were high and low levels. Brother Gao had struck the seventh strike and obtained a unique lower seventh-grade star. The other two who didn’t have much interaction with Wang baole had also stopped at the sixth or seventh strike, even though they had obtained a unique star, the quality of the star was at the low-grade.

Wang Baole had paid close attention to all of this throughout the entire process. As he compared himself, he gained a better understanding of the way he had struck the heaven-reaching drum.

The remaining refined cultivators, the youth in black, the bell lady, and the little girl were all highly valued by Wang Baole.

The little girl was the strangest of them all. She had clearly knocked out the eighth time at her limit, drawing out a unique upper-second-grade planet. However, she had given up everything in the end and hadn’t chosen any planet to be her own.

Even the emperor of the fallen star had a thoughtful look in his eyes as he looked at her a few more times.

Wang Baole was extremely surprised as well. If it had been any other time, he would have thought about it carefully. However, now was not the time to think about it. The performance of the next three people was so stunning that it didn’t just shock him, it also shocked everyone in the entire fallen star empire.

The scholarly cultivator from the first sect of the left path was the first to strike the ninth drum. Even though this was his limit and he was unable to strike the tenth drum, he still had the remaining strength.., even though he was weak, he was still able to stand there. He raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky. There were a large number of upper second grade special stars, as well as three… stars that were brighter than all the other stars!

If one took a closer look, one could see that on the three most brilliant stars, there seemed to be the appearance of a strange beast. It was as if they were no longer simple stars, but had the initial signs of life!

“There are only thirty-seven high-grade and first-grade special stars in the land of the fallen stars. For this young man to be able to draw out three of them, he must be extraordinary!”The eyes of the Emperor of the fallen stars were filled with admiration. As he spoke slowly, Wang Baole’s gaze was also attracted by the special stars in the sky, however… no matter how bright the three special stars were, they didn’t catch the scholarly cultivator’s eye at that moment!

He stood there and stared at the sky. He didn’t look at the three upper-grade and first-grade stars. Instead, he was looking for… The dao star that he felt was fated to be with him!

“Why hasn’t the Dao Star appeared yet…”the scholarly cultivator’s breathing quickened. He knew very well that he could choose any of the three first-grade stars if he wanted to. If it had been before, he would definitely have chosen one, but now… all he could think about was the dao stars!

In his anxiety, madness appeared in the eyes of the scholarly cultivator. He lifted his right hand and unleashed some sort of divine ability that caused blood to ooze out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Blood sprayed out of his mouth, and he waved the drumstick in his hand, as if he were going all out, he struck it again!

Rumbling could be heard as the tenth sound… echoed out. The sky trembled, and it seemed as if it were about to flip over. More Stars appeared, and as the tenth sound echoed out, the drumstick in the scholarly cultivator’s hand shattered, he seemed to have lost all of his strength as he fell to the ground and struggled to his feet. His eyes were bright red as he looked at the stars in the sky. After frantically searching for a dao star, he laughed bitterly and clenched his fist.

“I only want a dao star,”he said. “The rest of the stars are nothing but ants!”

As soon as his words left his mouth, the starry sky began to shine brightly. All of the stars began to dim and fade away, including the three first-grade stars. In the instant that the sky turned pitch black.., suddenly, a strand of starlight descended from the sky and converged on the scholarly cultivator.

Shockingly, an extremely bright star appeared in the sky. It was as bright as the sun, and looked like a sovereign. However, it didn’t appear completely. It was only an indistinct shadow, the starlight that fell wasn’t being pulled. It was more like… It was being marked as a backup!

Even though it was only a backup, it still made the scholarly cultivator tremble. His aura was sharp, and all the cultivators in the Starfall Empire were shocked. They all bowed to the dao star in the sky!

Even the emperor of the Starfall Empire lowered his head slightly to show his respect. As for Wang Baole, his heart was in turmoil, and a strong desire appeared in his eyes. This Dao Star was his greatest dream in the Starfall Empire!

However, this dao star was too arrogant. It was so arrogant that it seemed to have gotten used to the gazes of worship and desire from all living beings. Even if the scholarly cultivator used all his strength to strike the tenth time since ancient times.., all it did was create a blurry image and mark it.

As for Wang Baole, it didn’t even look at him. Instead, the black-robed youth and the bell lady were swept by the Starlight. Their minds were shaken, and they rushed out almost at the same time. They charged straight for the supreme drum, regardless of the order, their target was the two sides of the thousand-foot-tall drum. It was obvious that they had to strike at the same time!

They seemed to be competing, but at the same time, they seemed to be performing. They wanted to attract the attention of the Dao Star, to make the DAO star choose them!

Even though this didn’t conform to the rules, under the illusion of the Dao star in the sky, even the emperor of the fallen stars didn’t speak. The others seemed to have forgotten the rules. All they could see was the only shining illusory dao star in the starry sky.

Wang Baole’s eyes flashed. He could sense that the dao star seemed to be ignoring him. However, he believed that it was just an illusion. Now that he saw the bell lady and the black-robed youth striking at the same time.., he gritted his teeth and leaped forward. He flew out of the main hall and headed straight for the heaven-reaching drum!

Wang baole, who was rushing over, didn’t notice the Emperor of Starfall behind him. He wanted to speak, but he didn’t. There was helplessness and regret in his eyes. Naturally, he couldn’t hear the red-lined paper figurine mumbling.

“It won’t choose you…”

Wang baole, whose eyes were filled with desire, sped up. In an instant, he flew across half the plaza. He arrived almost at the same time as the bell lady and the black-robed youth. Just as the two of them were about to strike.., the drumstick in Wang Baole’s hand materialized and struck towards the center of the heaven-connecting drum!

The first sound caused the sky to change color. The Arrogant Dao Star looked down on all living things before disappearing into the sky. It seemed to be testing the three people who were striking the drum to see if they had the right to reveal themselves again!

The second sound caused starlight to appear once again in the dim starry sky. However, not only was the amount of starlight rare, the light was dim. In fact, it was as if the Starlight was anthropomorphic. It was as if their emotions were in a state of depression.

The third sound caused ripples to spread out in the starry sky. There were even more stars, but they were still in a state of depression. It was only after the three people struck the fourth sound and the fifth sound that they seemed to have some vitality. At the same time, they transformed into a galaxy.., mortal Stars, Spirit Stars, and Immortal Stars appeared one after another!

Then came the sixth sound, the seventh sound, and the eighth sound!

The sky rumbled, and countless stars transformed simultaneously. They filled the entire starry sky, and as the three of them struck, the unique stars erupted with unprecedented power. Countless low-grade stars.., a large number of mid-grade stars, as well as hundreds of upper third and upper second-grade stars.

It caused the starry sky to be filled with magnificent waves that were difficult to describe with words!

It wasn’t difficult for the black-robed youth and the bell lady to knock eight times in one go. However, the pressure and overdraft that followed still made their breathing and faces pale. It was the same for Wang Baole, he finally experienced the difficulties that those people had faced when they knocked.

That was because every time they knocked, it was a storm that affected their bodies and their souls. It felt as if they weren’t using drumsticks to knock, but using their own lives to knock!

The eighth strike shook his soul, causing Wang Baole’s vision to Blur. Although he recovered quickly, he could feel that the ninth strike was not impossible for him, but the price he had to pay was even greater.

This is nothing. I have to strike ten times! Wang baole gritted his teeth, his expression vicious. Without any hesitation, he waved the drumstick in his hand and struck the black-robed youth who was emitting a murderous aura, the Bell Lady, who had a fierce look in her eyes, struck the ninth time at the same time!
