Chapter 688: Killing with One Punch
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Colorful light mingled with a deadly spirit had imposed an all-dimensional blockage on the Genuine Immortals of the Heaven Realm World. Shots of peculiar light zoomed out, lighting the entire sky. All the Genuine Immortals had cast out their special celestial devices and magic weapons. After all, at such a life-or-death moment, no one could think about hiding their secret skills anymore. They launched all their weapons and formed a protective wall around themselves.
“Boom!”
The two sides finally collided with each other. Charging out from the Void Traveler, several Genuine Immortal with fairly weak defensive power were crushed into fine powder on the spot. Facing such a large-scaled collision of pract.i.tioners, individual power appeared to be insignificant.
The opponents had built up sufficient strength for this ambush while the Heaven Realm had been defending in haste. It was no wonder that the latter would suffer great loss.
At first, the host of pract.i.tioners thought that they might break through the besiegement by uniting as one and concentrating their power. But after this one strike, their hopes were smothered, for the team they formed was broken up.
This offered a good opportunity for the pract.i.tioners from the Alien Realm. Except for the strongest Venerables, who were out of the formation, the rest of the pract.i.tioners hurtled over to attack them. With multiple Alien Realm combatants for every one Heaven Realm pract.i.tioner, in only minutes more than half of the Heaven Realm pract.i.tioners were killed or badly injured.
“d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it! How can this be happening! Am I really going to die in this d.a.m.n s.p.a.ce?”
Yu Hui considered committing suicide. He had believed that he was carrying out a small mission. It never occurred to him that it could be so life-threatening. Thanks to the defense-oriented Supreme-cla.s.s Pure Yang Celestial Device he had brought with him, he was not dead yet. Otherwise, he would have been crushed into powder. But, he could not keep relying on the defensive weapon, because he was about to run out of Dharma power. The three Venerables would simply keep besieging him and then kill him when his Dharma power was depleted.
“Is today really going to be my doomsday?” Yu Hui asked himself, desperation filling his heart. But at this precise moment, the situation suddenly changed.
The surrounding s.p.a.ce started to shake violently. Soon, the unknown s.p.a.ce was shattered into pieces, and a combat field appeared above the Sea Area.
“You guys from the Alien Realm are really audacious. Do you think our Heaven Realm is that easy to bully? How dare you attack the amba.s.sadors of the Human Emperor Palace! Did you forget how to spell the word ‘die’?”
An overbearing willpower descended, followed by a huge white hand emerging from the sky. The huge hand plummeted towards the ground and instantly crushed a third of the Alien Realm pract.i.tioners as if they were ants.
“Lord of Heaven!”
Several Venerables who were busy fighting for their team turned ashen-faced. This Giant Void Hand could only have been produced by a Lord of Heaven. Otherwise, it would not be so powerful. Now that a Lord of Heaven had arrived, there was no need for words. All they could do was flee!
After all, not everyone was like the freak Zhou Bao, daring to bypa.s.s ranks and challenge Lords of Heaven. For an ordinary Genuine Immortal, a Lord of Heaven represented absolute authority.
Venerables could never be a match for a Lord of Heaven who had accomplished his Self-world, regardless of their numbers. Therefore, after seeing the huge white hand, their first instinct was to run away.
However, it was quite difficult to escape the attack of a Lord of Heaven. Before they could take their departure, the huge white hand had already grabbed them. The five fingers stretched out and drew back repeatedly and the s.p.a.ce-time around them was locked up. The Venerables now resembled beetles trapped in a chunk of amber, unable to move.
“Please show some mercy!”
Just when the huge hand was about to grip the Venerables, another willpower streaked the sky. A huge golden hand emerged out of thin air and collided into the white hand.
“Clap!”
Two palms slapped against each other!
The overwhelming impact force crumpled the surrounding s.p.a.ce. Cracks appeared in the hollow, letting in gusts of wild wind. An immense gravitation spread across the field from the hollow. If those present had not been Genuine Immortals, they would have been sucked into the cracks in the hollow.
After the collision, the two huge hands vanished. But soon, they reappeared as if nothing had happened.
“What a fu*king mess! Who is this? Disturbing my quiet life!”
Just when the two huge hands were ready to make another collision, a lazy voice suddenly sounded. Shortly after that, everyone heard sizzling noises from the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
A huge black hand ripped open the s.p.a.ce that had just closed and seized the golden hand.
“Sc.u.m of the Alien Realm, you’d better behave yourself. Do you really believe this Heaven Realm World is at your full disposal, like your backyard?”
“Uh, ah…!”
The black hand clenched the golden hand but the two did not appear to contend against each other. Seconds later, a short but terrified cry spread out from the hollow, and the golden hand began to dissolve as though it was made of snow. It melted so fast that its owner had no chance to fight back or withdraw it.
“Who is this? How dare you!” The owner of the golden hand came to his senses and roared from the depths of the hollow. A golden light broke through the s.p.a.ce and hit the black hand.
The black hand gave a slight shudder and a nearly invisible pink spirit swept out, neutralizing the golden light.
“Peach Blossom…”
“Got you!”
In the endless s.p.a.ce-time of the Heaven Realm World, before the owner of the golden hand stopped screaming, a calm voice echoed in his ears. Soon, the s.p.a.ce in which he was located started vibrating. A gigantic fist rose up out of nowhere and punched him in the chest before he could react.
“Wham!”
The man’s body suddenly imploded; he was reduced to blood fog. A yellowish spirit rushed out from the blood fog, but it only flew for a few meters and then dispersed into nothing.
Both his body and spirit had died under this one punch.
Afterward, a figure in cyan materialized in the s.p.a.ce-time.
“A six-tribulation Lord of Heaven is really not qualified to be my playmate!” It was Zhou Bao. He looked around and sent out his divine thoughts. His expression changed to one of disappointment.
“Son of a bit*h! What a powerful punch! Now, everything is gone, there are no spoils of war for me. Even if there were any, they would probably be worthless. Yeah, can’t even take one punch, he must have had defective goods! ”
“How powerful he is! How intimidating! I’m afraid his strength is on par with the Realm Master himself!” Shortly after Zhou Bao took off, the s.p.a.ce that his attacks had swept through suddenly started to contort, and a wretched man appeared. The man was short and ugly, but he had a cultivation at the Lord of Heaven Realm. Similar to the guy Zhou Bou had just killed in one punch, he was also a Six-tribulation Lord of Heaven, but his eyes revealed a trace of sophistication and craftiness.
“I can’t believe there is such a guy in the Heaven Realm World aside from the Sea Emperor! I must report this immediately. He looked at me just now, so he must have noticed me. But why didn’t he strike?” The man gave it some thought and then put on a wry smile. “Let it go. Why should I, an inferior Ghost Immortal, speculate the mind of such a high-ranking figure! I will just deliver the news in case they come here unprepared and suffer a great loss!”
In the sky over the Sea Area.
After Zhou Bao murdered the Lord of Heaven with one punch, the white hand performed its magic again, killing most of the Alien Realm pract.i.tioners who were trying to besiege the Void Traveler and capturing the rest of them. Without any interference, Yu Taixuan soon got everyone under control.
“Thank you so much for your rescue, Lord Yu!” Seeing the white hand nailing it in no time and that the mysterious golden hand had been completely dissolved by the black hand, Yu Hui hastily expressed his grat.i.tude.
“Save it. Stop with the empty words and return quickly!” Yu Taixu’s voice rang in everyone’s ears. His huge white hand scooped up two of the Highest Heaven Celestial Devices the opponents had brought, leaving the other three untouched.
“Thanks for your help King Wuyang!”
“No need to be so polite, Lord Yu!” And Zhou Bao did not pretend to be polite at all. His Giant Void Hand reached out and grabbed the other three Highest Heaven Celestial Devices, and then disappeared.
“King Wuyang! The black hand was Zhou Bao’s. It turns out that he has always had an eye on us. Thank G.o.d we did not ask for too much when we were at the Li family mansion. Otherwise, what could we do if he killed us all?”
The Giant Void Hands of Lords of Heaven always came and went without leaving any trace or even casting a shadow. Although Yu Hui knew where the huge hand was from, he merely voiced his exclamation mentally and quietly led the bunch of mutilated Genuine Immortals to board the damaged Void Traveler. They flew straight towards the Penglai Region.
“I never knew you could actually restrain yourself a bit! I thought you intended to teach Yu Taixuan a lesson!” w.a.n.g She beamed from hundreds of meters up. “You’re never keen to get involved in matters that are none of your business. So why are you helping the Divine Wind Palace?”
“Am I not a guy who cares for the big picture?” Zhou Bao shot a look at w.a.n.g She. “Those pract.i.tioners from the Alien Realm went too far this time. Moreover, if Yu Taixuan was defeated, they would have become more audacious. That would not be good news for the large sects or my Wuyang Region. So, I stood out and helped.”
“After this lesson, perhaps the pract.i.tioners will find a more secluded place to hide.”
“Maybe so, maybe not. But I’m sure about one thing—neither the Human Emperor Palace nor the Divine Wind Palace will take similar actions any time soon. Everyone can enjoy a calm life for a while!”
“You mean the calm before the storm?”
“Let’s just see how violent this storm can be!”
