Chapter 569: Absorbing the Venom
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“Huh, the Seven-deity Regions are so generous! So many Lords of Heaven came to deal with me!”
Shortly after Zhou Bao and the others left the Transmitting Formation, around the formation there was a sparkle, and the Rolling Dragon King’s figure floated into view. “By the way, your circle is by no means united. You’ve actually fallen apart, giving me a good opportunity to attack. Unfortunately, this time I’ve found a huge secret in the Infinite Star Sea, and I’ll be sure to hurry back. This is indeed a great service I have provided. I won’t say it was His Majesty, there are several husbands who wouldn’t mistreat me in any way. If I have gained recognition and support from the several husbands, and not only will they help me with my little enmity, but also to conquer the Seven-deity Regions.” When the Rolling Dragon King thought about this, a severe cold smile appeared. “Well, that might give you something to be proud of for a few days. But you won’t remain giddy with pride for too long!”
Then, his body flickered and disappeared along with the tens of Venerables he brought with him. Not a shadow was seen. After he disappeared, the s.p.a.ce around the Transmitting Formation started to surge again.
There was a loud cry. A huge Golden Lock emerged vibrating from inside the hollow, and immediately shattered the s.p.a.ce to pieces with its vibration. It formed a huge void, a chaotic void.
Whoos.h.!.+
As soon as this void was formed, the countless meteorites and celestial bodies surrounding the Transmitting Formation were sucked towards it by a huge gravitational force.
But none of the objects were sucked into the void. When they got close to the Golden Lock, it emitted a golden light, shattering them.
“This is the place, the Transmitting Formation!” Just after the golden light emitted by the Golden Lock disappeared and the s.p.a.ce recovered, two people appeared on top of the lock.
“I didn’t expect there to be this type of Transmitting Formation on the fringe of the Infinite Star Sea! It was really well hidden!”
The two men that appeared were both Genuine Immortals of the Venerable Realm. Looking at the Transmitting Formation that was a stone’s throw away from them, a strange expression appeared on their face.
“You see this magic formation, it seems like somebody used it recently.”
“You’re right. It seems that someone else from the macro world has come here to get in on the action, haha. Interesting. Who from the macro world do you think it could be?”
“Mmm, it must be a nameless macro world, otherwise the Transmitting Formation would not be set up in such a remote location. But since they have already arrived, they won’t want to go!” The man was called Lei Hai. He was a strong and st.u.r.dy man, looking about 30 years old, and clad with muscles like chunks of iron. In fact, this guy looked completely piled up with muscles. The other looked a bit thinner and weaker, and his slender eyes were the feature that most stood out, slender like a willow leaf. From time to time a wisp of yellow light flickered.
“You’re right. Since they’re here, they don’t want to leave. Let’s block this Transmitting Formation first so that they can’t escape. Then we’ll sort them out, find out their story. If their powers are not strong, and they can open the formation, then we’ll enter their macro world through it and find out what the situation is. I can’t say whether we can occupy this macro world or not.”
“If we can, then this would be a great contribution.” Hearing what the weak man said, Lei Hai laughed out loud. “Controlling the macro world, and subjugating them to our rule would be a great contribution. If we have this opportunity, wouldn’t it be a lot better than running over here to fight for the Devil Fetus of the Primordial Demon?”
“Yeah. How is the Primordial Demon’s Devil Fetus worth fighting for? As far as I know, this time many powerful worlds have sent people for the Devil Fetus, and they were all Genuine Immortals of the Lord of Heaven Realm. Even a Human Immortal himself gave it a go!”
“A human Immortal himself gave it a go? No way! How could a Human Immortal himself give it a go? Don’t tell me they’re not afraid…?”
“Every world has its own secret means. Even though the Void Thunder Penalty is terrifying, there’s still ways to avoid it. Don’t forget, this time it’s the birth of the Primordial Demon’s Devil Fetus,” he laughed mischievously, “The Primordial Demon’s Devil Fetus, eh? This would be a huge windfall for the Dark Sect. Suppose they got hold of this Devil Fetus, it could grow into a Primordial Demon. Such huge potential. But as for the Demon Monarch, if he got hold of this Devil Fetus he could directly advance to the level of Human Immortal, even to the highest phase! Did you think they wouldn’t be interested?”
“Yes, of course, they would be interested! Also, what the necromancers said was true. This so-called practice was only to plunder this world. You only need to plunder so much, then you have seniority at the negotiations in this world. But if you don’t plunder enough, then you are fated to be punished by this world. Although the Void Thunder Penalty is tremendous, it does not frighten everyone. Neither you nor I obtained the Lord of Heaven’s Karmic Rank. It seems ordained that this time, there’s no way to obtain it. Rather than throw away our lives, it would be better to take advantage while n.o.body notices, and s.n.a.t.c.h some riches and gain some honor!”
“You’re right. This is a place of unspeakable wealth and honor. We’ll just wait here patiently!” While they were speaking, the huge Golden Lock vibrated again and disappeared into the hollow. Then a huge lock shadow descended from the sky, landing on the Transmitting Formation. The Transmitting Formation flashed brightly for a second, then dimmed again.
If at this time the Lords of Heaven of the five biggest sects come back, it would be a very alarming event. This Transmitting Formation has been locked by a mysterious force, and can no longer be used.
But for the meanwhile, they could not return.
Just like Zhou Bao at the moment, they were caught up in something.
“The pa.s.sageway is here, but it’s too small. Only a s.p.a.ce-corroding Sect can get through!”
In the large, meteorite-shaped World-solidifying Skill, Zhou Bao looked strangely at the opening to the cavity, which was at worst about the size of a grain of rice.
s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects were already very small, also about the size of a grain of rice. They were not very poisonous, but they always gathered together in the thousands. Thousands of s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects are much more poisonous, enough to corrode a large hollow. What’s more, in their social structure existed Queen Sects.
Generally speaking, the social structure of the s.p.a.ce-corroding Sect was similar to that of a beehive, only that this type of supernatural sect, having originated in primitive times, did not have such a particular division of labor. The only other type was the Queen Sect.
Like a Queen Bee, there was only one Queen Sect in each tribe who was specialized for the role of producing offspring. But Queen Sects were much stronger than queen bees, and they were hundreds of times bigger than common s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects. They were tremendously venomous, and their bodies were solid and enduring like metal and stone. But the main thing was that they were more venomous than their ordinary counterparts. The venom, as well as being able to corrode s.p.a.ce, also had other insidious functions. If you could obtain the venom of a Queen Sect and perfect the Infinite Poison Banner, then the power of the Infinite Poison Banner will inevitably increase greatly to that of a fairy weapon. Of course, Zhou Bao did not want to miss out on this kind of advantage.
Right now those advantages were in right front of him, there for the taking. But he calmed himself down and kept his eyes fixed on Grandma Loulan. “The opening to the pa.s.sageway is not very big, but I don’t think it should be able to stop you, right?!”
“It certainly couldn’t stop me!” Loulan replied, shaking her head, “It’s just that I can’t tell whether that little girl Yeyue is alive or dead. I’m afraid that it might not be good if we just rush in.”
“It seems you still don’t trust me. In that case, I’ll just go ahead!” Zhou Bao, smiling, did not wait for Grandma Loulan to speak. His body transformed into a cyan streamer, and delved into the tiny opening.
A little embarra.s.sed at Zhou Bao’s bluntness, Grandma Loulan smiled slightly, transformed into a white light, and went into the hole.
Zhou Bao went through the pa.s.sageway in the World-solidifying Skill, and once he reached that world, he stared in disbelief.
“So it’s actually the Seven Tribulations Lord of Heaven’s Self-world, and it’s not big!”
It was a s.p.a.ce where the spiritual qi was just about to dry up. It had a perimeter of thousands of miles, an unbelievably solid perimeter that screened off the s.p.a.ce. Perhaps before it was solidified, it could have been said that this s.p.a.ce was truly endless. But now, it only had a perimeter thousands of miles long. This s.p.a.ce was completely packed with s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects, but there was also a strange type of green-black plant. Zhou Bao knew that this plant was called bitter vine, and that it was the staple food of the s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects.
The biggest differences between the Primordial Supernatural Sects and the Primordial Fierce Beasts were that Primordial Fierce Beasts had such a tyrannical power, and also had great wisdom. It was an inborn wisdom greater than that of Innate Deities and Primordial Demons. But the Primordial Supernatural Sects did not possess great wisdom, merely depending upon instinct to survive. Just like the s.p.a.ce-corroding Sect, apart from the wise Queen Sect, the supernatural sects had no spiritual intelligence whatsoever.
So as soon as Zhou Bao appeared in this s.p.a.ce, these rice grain-sized supernatural sects immediately started attacking him. A black cloud of buzzing s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects swarmed towards him, and in a second were surrounding him. Then, streams of black mist spurted from their bodies, forming a black Qi web enshrouding Zhou Bao.
Zhou Bao smiled. As the black mist covered his body, it turned into a huge, black drape in no time. In a second, the black drape bound together all the s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects within the perimeter.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
Falling to the ground with a strange sound, all of the s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects were turned into pus by the hugely poisonous Infinite Poison Banner, and their venom was absorbed by it. All that could be seen was a black mist revolving around Zhou Bao, and there emerged a beam of cyan light.
Okay then!
Zhou Bao seemed to have sensed something telepathically. He gave a low-pitched cry and raised his hands. The black mist swirled and rose, and picked up into a gust of black wind. The black wind gusted all around, and wherever it blew, the s.p.a.ce-corroding Sects turned one by one into pus. All of their venoms were absorbed, and they couldn’t offer the slightest resistance.
“It seems I was right to have come to the Infinite Star Sea!” Inwardly, Zhou Bao had great satisfaction upon witnessing this scene.
