“Take this!”
Seeing the sanguine flash of light aiming straight at him, Zhou Bao gave a nonchalant cold smile. He thought that this fella was really going overboard, even trying to perform a sneak attack on him. Between his eyebrows, a light flashed and an evil sanguine eye appeared, shooting out a stream of sanguine light.
The moment the two streams of light met, a cruel vibration rang. With a loud ‘bop’, the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man took three steps back, whereas Zhou Bao stayed still.
“If you want to fight a real fight, I would like to see what methods you have!”
“Zhou Bao, you may have strong capabilities, but you’re undermining mine. This is the ancestral star of my Fiery Eyes tribe, I would naturally have ways to deal with you!” As he spoke, the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man put his palms together and violently slammed against the ground.
“BOOM!!!”
The earth shooked and s.p.a.ce began to crumble.
“Interesting!” The evil eye in Zhou Bao’s mid-brows began to flash violently, almost as if he was attracting some kind of power. A column of red light shot out and aimed straight for the deepest parts of this vast planet.
Once s.p.a.ce was completely shattered, the real side of the planet was exposed.
“h.e.l.l, no!”
It was only during this time that Zhou Bao finally realized that he was standing on a gigantic fire-red eyeball.
The fairy weapon in his mid-brows, the Heavenly Magic Eye, was attracted to this eyeball. Its energy started to overflow and fell onto the huge eyeball. It was the same for the power in his pair of Fiery Eyes.
It was a suppression, a complete suppression!
In front of this gigantic eyeball, even his fairy weapon, the Heavenly Magic Eye, struggled let alone his pair of Thorn Wheel Fiery Eyes.
“Seems like you’ve been planning to defeat me for a long time!”
“Just in case!” The b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man laughed. Obviously, he had control over the core of this vast planet. Hence, he did not suffer of the suppression at all.
“This ancient planet was curated using my first ancestor’s own Fiery Eyes when the tribe was on the brink of extinction. One eyeball formed this vast planet, and another eyeball formed the ever-living bloodline of our Fiery Eyes tribe. This gave them a non-destructible characteristic. Here, your powers will be completely suppressed!”
“That may not be the case!” Zhou Bao gave a faint smile, “Do you think I am like you, where all my powers are reliant on my eyeball? Let me tell you, all along, I have limited my reliance on this eyeball!”
As he spoke, the evil eye in Zhou Bao’s mid-brows closed and cleanly cut off its connection with the gigantic eyeball. “Also, although this has evolved from the first ancestor’s eyeball, it was not refined. Its Immortal Character is all over the place, which makes it just a high-cla.s.s Highest Heaven Celestial Device. It cannot compare to my Heavenly Magic Eye!”
The evil eye in Zhou Bao’s mid-brows opened again and a flash of blurry red light seeped out, enveloping his whole body. He began to float mid-air, completely disconnected from the vast planet beneath his feet.
“You―!”
Seeing Zhou Bao escaping from the planet’s influence so easily, the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man was very taken aback. He stared intensely at the evil eye, “This is impossible, this is…!”
“This is a fairy weapon!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly and threw a punch.
This punch was not accompanied with a whoos.h.i.+ng sound. It hit the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man straight in the face.
Oh no!!
The b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man’s expression fell drastically. Before he even got over the shock from Zhou Bao’s Fiery Eye in his mid-brows being a fairy weapon, he felt an earth-splitting Qi Power coming straight at him.
He could not avoid this punch, not only was there nowhere to escape to, he had no time to escape too.
At this critical instant, he let out a violent cry.
“Stagnate!”
After saying that, Zhou Bao felt his surrounding stagnating, as if turning into a transparent diamond rock. His fist froze.
“Open!”
There was nothing that his fist could not break. After freezing temporarily, it vibrated and opened the stagnated s.p.a.ce, causing it to break into countless spatial debris that eventually disappeared. The power of the fist was still intact but the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man had already taken advantage of his momentary stagnation to run far away. He had disappeared into the sea of eerie time s.p.a.ce.
“Zhou Bao, you can spend your time getting lost in this maze! By the time you come out, the fight for the Fate Creator of Heaven Realm World would have been set already!” The voice of the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man was heard from the distance.
“Yes, such wishful thinking you have! Forget about a s.p.a.ce-time maze in a place smaller than a macro world, even one in the Heaven Realm World cannot trap me!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly and made a punch with his right hand. The punch was aimless and casual, and he hit on an empty spot.
Boom!
The punch struck as thunder!
Just like that, Zhou Bao opened a hole in this eerie time s.p.a.ce. He twisted, turned and came out through the hole into the hollow.
It happened all too fast. Although the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man knew that Zhou Bao had strong powers, he never thought that with just a casual punch could break the hollow, much less directly enter it.
“Hahahaha, fella, you’re really over-confident. Did you think that by entering the hollow you’re free? The hollow has no boundary, it is much more complex and bigger than the s.p.a.ce-time maze in the Heaven Realm World. You can spend some time wandering around here!”
The b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man laughed heartily as white cloud appeared outside of the ancestral star beneath his feet. He pointed to the already-sanguine huge eyeball and it transformed again into an ochre vast planet.
“This fella has some skills, blocking off the bloodline of almost all his relatives. But he left a promising power for my Fiery Eyes tribe. After I return to the Heaven Realm World, I will put together this power and revive the glory of our tribe!”
From what he could see, Zhou Bao had fallen into the endless hollow. He would not be able to return for at least 1,800 years. Since he cannot return, then in the Heaven Realm World, the Wuyang Region will lose their main backer. Then it would be really easy for the Fiery Eyes tribe to successfully get hold of the remaining bloodline.
Of course, all these would have to wait until the fight for Fate Creator has been settled. Without Zhou Bao as a strong force of opposition, the Fairy Pool Hunter had 80% to 90% chance of gaining the t.i.tle. Thus, the revival of the Fiery Eyes tribe would be possible.
Thinking of the promise that Fairy Pool Hunter made to him, the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man became excited. He could not contain the excitement any further and rode on a cloud, heading towards the Heaven Realm World.
“Quite a nice cloud he got, I wonder where he got that, it could probably barely count as a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, but it is quite fast!” After the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed man left, Zhou Bao’s body shape reappeared lazily from the hollow. Looking at the planet, the corners of his mouth gave away his cold snicker. “Hehe, ancestral star… brought me all the way here just for this, he’s indeed a weird fella. But I’ll definitely not let you get your way. Don’t you want the Fairy Pool Hunter to get the position and help you revive the Fiery Eyes tribe? Then I’ll kill him and let your wish become a disappointment. Hehe, this time around, I begin to finally understand what w.a.n.g She was feeling and thinking. Killing your enemy is not the best method. It would be best to destroy his faith and crush his beliefs completely while he’s still alive. It is the best feeling in the world and the most satisfying way of revenge: to watch him die in absolute despair. Although this fella is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I cannot disagree that what he said makes sense. By letting your enemy die in pain and desperation, they wouldn’t have a peaceful death!”
Thinking about this, Zhou Bao hesitated no further. His body flashed a few times in the hollow and he went straight towards the Heaven Realm World.
Heaven Realm World, Three Western Regions, Longevity Mountain, Fifth Manor
The Fifth Manor undoubtedly had the most mysterious history among the few super big sects in Three Western Regions. It had already existed since antiquity times and no one knew about its real origin. Right after the antiquity times ended and the Heaven Realm fell into chaos, there were only a few Junior Taoist Attendants in the manor. Other people thought that this made the Fifth Manor an easy target to pick on. Besides, the Fifth Manor was situated on Longevity Mountain, one of the rare Fairyland Paradise back then. Hence, many were eyeing on the Fifth Manor. However, in the end, no matter how high the cultivation or how strong the background, all who picked on them returned with only feathers in their hand. They did not even have the chance to fight back. For thousands of years, that sect has fought all kinds of foes, which built their reputation in the whole Seve-deity Regions. For a period of time, it was even declared as the number one sect among the regions.
However, strictly speaking, it was not appropriate to declare the Fifth Manor as a proper sect.
Why was that so?
That was because it was a Taoist temple that looked like normal. It never accepted disciples from outside and no disciples were sent out to get rid of the devils and do good in the jianghu.
Not only did the Fifth Manor not care about societal issues, but it also did not even bother about the major events in the Three Western Regions. They would only send a Taoist Attendant when their profits were infringed. The Attendant would then calmly stand in front of a crowd and tell them, “You shouldn’t do this, this is affecting the profits of Fifth Manor, we don’t agree”.
The answer after the “don’t agree” didn’t matter at all, every time this happened, the other sects in the Three Western Regions would then kindly change their plans. Usually, after their plans have been amended, the people from Fifth Manor would not come anymore. The plan would then be carried out successfully.
As time pa.s.sed, the sects in Three Western Regions became more respectful towards Fifth Manor. Why was that so? Because for so many years, there was only one person from Fifth Manor that came out to face the public. It was that 13 or 14-year old Junior Taoist Attendant by the name of Qing Feng. After tens of thousands of years, he was still a Junior Taoist Attendant, was still called Qing Feng, and was still sweeping outside the Fifth Manor!
This was scary.
Even a Lord of Heaven or Human Immortal would change after living for such a long time. However, this Junior Taoist Attendant never changed after even a little bit. Also, it was said that he had already been there since antiquity times. G.o.d knows if that was true.
And because of this, the Fifth Manor had been very peaceful all along. No one has disturbed it, not that anyone dared to do so either.
The Fifth Manor on Longevity Mountain was as calm as still water!
But on this day, an uninvited guest arrived.
