Chapter 668: The Situation
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“Is he dead?”
The galaxy in front of them suddenly turned into a vacuum, taking on an eerie and terrifying state. Both the woman from the World of Thousand Swords and Zhou Bao, hidden among the meteorites, were filled with doubt.
Was Zhou Bao dead?
“Enough!!” A strong will from the Void Immortal Realm spread throughout the entire hollow in a short time, and could be sensed by the pract.i.tioners whose cultivation was above the Lord of Heaven in all the macro worlds.
The pa.s.sage connected to the Void Immortal Realm vanished at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The shattered void was not restored; it floated eerily above the galaxy, witnessing the destruction and horror of the strike.
“Gosh, why is that thunderbolt so powerful?”
Zhao Bao was sent flying hundreds of millions of kilometers away due to the impact of his punch and it felt like his whole body was falling apart. His scarlet eyes were fixed on a black thunderbolt that came hurtling towards him.
The black thunderbolt had been largely destroyed by Zhou Bao’s punch, but the pieces left behind followed him like insects from a plague. Zhou Bao believed he would die if he was. .h.i.t by this black thunderbolt in his current physical condition.
By this time, he had dismissed the idea of summoning the fourth Thunder Tribulation. Instead he called out the Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation that had been set.
In an instant, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation appeared in front of him.
The device spirit and dozens of Thunder G.o.ds of the pool rushed out of it.
The Thunder G.o.ds formed a huge magic formation in front of the pool, which was centered on the device spirit, and drove back the mighty power of the thunderbolt.
“Ancestral Thunder Power!”
The device spirit screamed at the sight of the black thunderbolt. He raised his hand at once, and the Pool of Thunder Tribulation turned over, the mirror-like smooth pool surface facing the Ancestral Thunder. Then waves of liquefied thunderbolts surged out of the mirror and rushed towards the black Ancestral Thunder Power.
BOOM!!!
The Ancestral Thunder Power was about the size of a pinkie now, but it still had the power to subdue innumerable thunderbolts. It broke through the waves easily and headed directly for the device spirit in the center.
With folded hands, the device spirit suddenly shouted and manipulated the huge waves in the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. The water became solid, forming a jade-like mirror in front of him.
Clap!!!
The Ancestral Thunder Power struck the mirror, and shattered it after a short pause. The device spirit and the Thunder G.o.ds took advantage of the break to fling themselves forward. They made intricate gestures with their hands, fingered incantations and all of them had their palms facing the Ancestral Thunder Power.
After that an invisible barrier appeared around the Ancestral Thunder Power, and enclosed it.
It tried its hardest to seek a way out. However, as the saying goes, a man who has lost his position and influence may be subjected to much indignity. Although the Ancestral Thunder Power was of high quality, it was too small. As a result, under the almost inexhaustible power of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, it could not get rid of the invisible barrier, and was totally bound.
“Whoo, my G.o.d, nailed it!” Looking at the imprisoned Ancestral Thunder, Zhou Bao heaved a sigh of relief. Then he turned to the Thunder G.o.ds gratefully and thought, “Thanks to the Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation, otherwise, I would have died today!” Then he stretched out but found that he was aching all over, bruised and powerless to stop his retreat. Reluctantly, he managed to put away the pool and the Black Pearl, and let his body drift rapidly in the hollow. Without the threat of the Ancestral Thunder Power, he didn’t care if he were to hit something he couldn’t break.
Finally, after smas.h.i.+ng countless meteorites, he fell into a vast planet, sinking several hundred thousand feet into its interior, and didn’t stop until the huge impact broke the planet apart.
In the absence of pneuma in the hollow, Zhou Bao was not negligent. Although he only underwent two Thunder Tribulations, the benefits were inestimable. As for the third time he had barely survived and had little to gain except for the Ancestral Thunder Power seized by the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and the great will of the “enough”, but he did not care.
The device spirit had just sent Zhou Bao a message that the Ancestral Thunder Power was of great help to him, and that if it could be refined successfully, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation would be so much more powerful that it would at last completely rouse his Black Pearl. It was a great boon to Zhou Bao.
He certainly craved the mighty power of a complete Supreme Fairy Weapon.
Sitting cross-legged in the hollow, Zhou Bao began to heal his battered body. He first mobilized the Mysterious Icy Divine Light to flow through his body. Now he knew that his receiving of the two of the 3,000 Great Ways was not for nothing. The Grand Ice Technique corresponded with the characteristics of his Icy Divine Light, and the Vacuum-shattering Way corresponded to his Mysterious Divine Light, which was also the practice direction of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan.
Mastering the two Great Ways, his understanding of power reached a new level. Besides, as a result of the purification of the Thunder Tribulation, the recovery of his body and spirit did not suffer any side effects due to the lack of pneuma in the hollow. Thus, with the help of the Mysterious Icy Divine Light, his body and Original Spirit soon recovered.
“Eh? G.o.d, why is my body so strong? It’s even not inferior to my Original Spirit. Am I a Ghost Immortal? Why do I feel like I’ve undergone nine Thunder Tribulations and have reached the Human Immortal Karma Rank?”
After several cycles of the Mysterious Icy Divine Light through his body, he felt his body and Original Spirit had been fully restored, and he had a strange look on his face. “Oh, I remember, the second Thunder Tribulation I went through was the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder which seems to show up only when a man goes through the ninth Thunder Tribulation. The Nine Heavens Purple Thunder is to purify the body. Once a person undergoes it, his or her body is at the level of a Human Immortal. That would mean to say, I am already a Human Immortal!” Zhou Bao blinked his eyes, which reflected incredible joy, as if he had thought through something. The outcome was a big surprise to him.
“Where’s Zhou Bao? He’s not really dead, is he?”
Not being able to locate Zhou Bao, w.a.n.g She and Child-endowing Buddha were worried. “What was that lightning just now? It was black. Why did I feel a breath of terror from it?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it’s the Ancestral Thunder Power from the Void Immortal Realm. But don’t worry, Zhou Bao’s punch has already removed most of its power, and the Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation can handle the rest of it. He will be fine.” Child-endowing Buddha thought for a moment before he went on, “He’ll come to us when he’s recovered. Let’s see what the woman wants to do first. Hehe, Quietus Sword Sect, the World of Thousand Swords. The Heaven Realm has long been isolated from the other macro worlds. Maybe we can get a clue about the other macro worlds from her!”
“You want to look for clues about the other macro worlds? What are you going to do?” w.a.n.g She asked, looking at Child-endowing Buddha in surprise.
“Don’t you see it? Times are changing!” said Child-endowing Buddha with a smile, “in the antiquity times, the remote antiquity times and even the primitive times, people like Zhou Bao are called a variable or an evildoer. The appearance of such a person usually means that there will be great changes between heaven and earth. Didn’t you see him break open the pa.s.sage to the Void Immortal Realm? The violent will from the Immortal Realm must have spread throughout all the macro worlds. All the powerful pract.i.tioners would now have hope!”
“Hope, hope of what?”
“The hope of flying up to the Immortal Realm!” A cool smile played across Child-endowing Buddha’s mouth. “Flying up to the Void Immortal Realm. The pa.s.sage of the Void Immortal Realm burst open. Now it has recovered, but many cracks have formed in the depths of the hollow so it is not visible. The mighties in the Immortal Realm can pa.s.s at will through those cracks and do something they could not do before. Previously, the other macro worlds did not know the location of the Heaven Realm World; But now since the pa.s.sage to the Immortal Realm has opened up, the location of the Heaven Realm World is no longer be concealed.”
“You mean…”
“The Heaven Realm World will not remain in such a calm state anymore. It was a branch of the Void Immortal Realm, communicating with the Immortal Realm, so it was powerful and had many secrets. When the Jade Emperor found that something had gone wrong, he directly closed the Heaven Realm access to the Void Immortal Realm, thus removing the Heaven Realm World and causing many people’s efforts to go to waste. But it would not go away so easily. For hundreds of thousands of years, there are always people looking for the Heaven Realm, but they all failed. We were exposed in the Infinite Star Sea, and now the pa.s.sage to the Void Immortal Realm has been opened. Someone will find the Heaven Realm soon, and by then, it is not clear whether the Sea Emperor can withstand it.”
“The Sea Emperor?”
“The Sea Emperor, of course. He is the strongest in the Heaven Realm World. Do you expect the pract.i.tioners of the Seven-deity Regions to resist the attack? Will they be able to resist it?” Child-endowing Buddha sneered, “What’s more, both of us have now undergone the Void Thunder Tribulation and reached the Lord of Heaven Karmic Rank. Our true combat capabilities are at the level of Immortals, so we definitely will bear the brunt of it!”
“What?” w.a.n.g She was startled. He asked, “Is there no other strong pract.i.tioner in the Heaven Realm?”
“Yes, there is, the Sea Emperor. Besides him, there should be one or two guys in the Sea Area who are as strong as us. That’s all. I’m telling you, the only people in the Seven-deity Regions whose combat capability is at the level of Immortals are Zhou Bao, you and me!”
