Chapter 770: The Imminent Devil Tribulation
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“d.a.m.n!”
Zhou Bao cursed under his breath.
All the essence of an Earthly Immortal, the entire pneuma, the Qi of earth veins and the endless s.p.a.cetime of a macro world were still not enough for Ghost Child. What on earth was the background of this Ghost Child?
Zhou Bao was truly amazed. But he did not probe any further; he summoned the red gourd back and restored it into his body. The moment the red gourd entered his body, Zhou Bao sensed a stream of powerful Qi flowing into his tendons and meridians.
“Boy, this is the purest portion of the Earthly Immortal’s Dharma power. Your ranking is too low so this amount of Dharma power is all you can absorb. Well, of course, there are some memories which I think will be helpful to you!”
As he spoke, a series of odd images streamed into his mind.
“This is…the Void Universe!”
Yes, the images that poured into his mind were the actual views of the Void Universe.
As the Patriarch of Eastern Thunder World, this Earthly Immortal had undergone more experiences in life than Zhou Bao. He had traveled through the Void Universe all by himself and this had expanded his horizon and steeled his disposition. All the things that he had seen, heard, and encountered, were things that Zhou Bao had hitherto been unaware of.
The Void Universe had always been an attraction for pract.i.tioners. Thus, when the Earthly Immortal traveled to the Void Universe, he researched a variety of planets, and now all the wonders he had discovered were being fed back to Zhou Bao through Ghost Child.
At present, Zhou Bao had already detached from his Real Body of Demonic Ape Zhuyan and a.s.sumed his original appearance. He stood motionless in Eastern Thunder World, or to be more precise, the air of Eastern Thunder Planet.
“Well, everybody, it’s all over now!” As he threw a swift glance at Thunder Capital and the mountain city of Eastern Thunder Sect which had lost all their inhibitions, a trace of an indifferent smile flitted across his face. Suddenly, with his eyes fixed on Cundi, he said, “The Earthly Immortal, the Patriarch of Eastern Thunder Sect, was killed by me. This whole thing is over now. I hope you can live up to your promise!”
“Of, of course!” A drop of cold sweat trickled down Cundi’s forehead. The name Cundi and you are destined, it naturally belongs to you!”
“Hahahaha—” When he heard these words, Zhou Bao burst into laughter. “Right, you’re right. This name and I are destined, it’s true, we’re destined!” In a fit of hearty laughter, Zhou Bao’s figure gradually disappeared, leaving the crowd scratching their heads.
An Earthly Immortal had been killed and Eastern Thunder World had become Eastern Thunder Planet. In this way, what would happen next was already beyond his control. He had obtained a part of the Dharma power of Eastern Thunder Sect’s Patriarch as well as his memories, but he needed time to refine them and to hone his fist intent.
“The Patriarch of Eastern Thunder Sect was already an Earthly Immortal, but someone still managed to kill him!”
Zhou Bao left Eastern Thunder Planet in a carefree mood. But to his surprise, once he took off, a great disturbance broke out in the Void Universe
This was a disturbance that no influence could overlook.
Earthly Immortals!
They were the strongest combatants in the current Void Universe.
They were also the most powerful fighters and patrons of each influence, just like the nuclear deterrent in Zhou Bao’s previous life.
They were basically infallible.
It was actually beyond everyone’s expectation that Eastern Thunder Sect was able to foster an Earthly Immortal. However, this Earthly Immortal had been slain by a mysterious Taoist right under everybody’s noses. This caused a big sensation in the Void Universe.
Although the mysterious Taoist relied on a Heavenly Fairy Weapon to murder the Earthly Immortal, his own cultivation had been far below that of the Earthly Immortal’s. That was the reason why this murder was so sensational as well as so disturbing.
Who was the mysterious Taoist?
What type of fairy weapon did he use?
What kind of Heavenly Fairy Weapon could help a pract.i.tioner kill an Earthly Immortal who was several ranks higher than himself?
If the mysterious Taoist had been an Earthly Immortal, he would not have created such a sensation.
After the murder, the first thought that came to the minds of all the Earthly Immortals in the Void Universe was to find this murderer, kill him, and take away his Heavenly Fairy Weapon!
Only by doing this could they set their minds at ease!
However, the origin of this murderer was simply shrouded in mystery. Even his name was obtained by taking on someone else’s ident.i.ty.
Taking on someone else’s name? What did this mean? Everything was so puzzling. The only clue they had was that when the Taoist dueled with the Earthly Immortal of Eastern Thunder Sect, he exposed his Real Body of Zhuyan, the Primordial Demonic Ape.
This was an important clue. Based on this information, a lot of people could be excluded from the list of suspects. But at the same time, loads of names were on the list, including the name Zhou Bao.
However, his name was soon scratched from the list.
One was in the Easternmost Land of Eastern Land; the other was in the most remote land of the West Wilds. Traveling between the two places equated going across the whole Void Universe. Given the kind of distance, no Earthly Immortal could travel from one end to another in such a short time, let alone Zhou Bao.
In fact, if Zhou Bao did not have any Supreme Fairy Weapon or large-scale Transmitting Formation, it would take him more than several million years to get to such a faraway place. As a result, Zhou Bao was the first one to be removed from the list of suspects.

Of course, Zhou Bao was not aware of any of this. He had no idea that he had narrowly escaped a disaster. Otherwise, if someone had figured out his background, he would certainly have been the target of all the Earthly Immortals in the Void Universe. If that happened, the only choice he had was to take his family into the Supreme Fairy Weapon with him and flee for his life.
There would be no other alternatives.
…
“This time you really went too far. You created so much trouble for yourself!”
When Zhou Bao finished his closed-door training and returned to Heaven Realm World, the first thing he saw was Fate Creation Boy’s sullen face.
“I know I was a bit impulsive this time. But when I went out, I never expected that I would encounter such matters!”
“In the current Void Universe, everything that involves Earthly Immortals is very sensitive!” Fate Creation Boy said, looking at Zhou Bao who had an equally sullen look on his face. “Your fairy weapon killed one Earthly Immortal. That means you can kill two, three, or more Earthly Immortals. This fear would inevitably be lurking in the minds of others. If you don’t have the power, then you will be in deep trouble. But if you had used the fairy weapon secretly, it would all be fine. However, you exposed your Real Body of Zhuyan as well. If it were not for the fact that there are many other guys who own Real Bodies of Zhuyan in the vast Void Universe, I’m afraid you would have been on the run now!”
“I didn’t realize how serious these issues were until I got back!” Zhou Bao’s expression was getting increasingly distressed. “But the culprit of the whole matter is this guy!” And with that, he drew out the red gourd.
“Hee hee, congratulations! You finally got your Original Spirit back!” At the sight of the red gourd and Ghost Child, Fate Creation Boy’s face revealed a trace of embarra.s.sment. He awkwardly greeted Ghost Child.
“Yes, I have finally recovered. Anyway, thank you for helping me back then and not letting me be destroyed completely!”
“That’s years ago, it is all water under the bridge now. I was not helping you then, I was just returning a favor!” Fate Creation Boy heaved a quiet sigh. “It’s just that knowing you’ve recovered your Original Spirit at this juncture really makes me worried!”
“You’re the device spirit of the Fairy Weapon of Fate, which is also a type of Heavenly Fairy Weapon. The only difference between you and me is that your responsibility is to guard a macro world but mine is not. That’s why you’re worried. Nevertheless, as you know, I’ve merely recovered a bit of my Original Spirit. If I want to restore my power to the original level, there is still a long way to go. Thus, I need your help!”
“I can’t help. My duty is only to protect a macro world. If you want your power back, what you need is endless Ma.s.sacre Qi, which I have no way to provide to you. And I won’t help you!”
“Don’t give me that c.r.a.p. Don’t you understand what I’m saying? I know you can’t provide endless Ma.s.sacre Qi. Even if you can, you won’t offer it to me!” At this point, he gave a smile. “I’m talking about the present situation. Can’t you see it? Even though you want to deny this, it’s true that the return of the Devil Tribulation is just around the corner!”
The return of the Devil Tribulation?
Hearing this, Zhou Bao’s heart leaped. He asked, “Are you saying the Devil Realm will be launching a ma.s.sive invasion again?”
“Right, the Devil Realm will certainly launch a ma.s.sive invasion. Compared with the bleak Devil Realm, the Void Universe is a colorful world full of temptations. They’ve coveted our world for a long time. It’s just that in the past, the power of the Void Universe was too formidable, so the Devil Realm’s multiple invasions proved fruitless. In turn, they incurred a lot of trouble for themselves and significantly diminished their own strength. But now it’s different, totally different. The power of the Void Universe has declined to the lowest level, which is even much weaker than it was in primitive times or antiquity times. It is now the feeblest period the Void Universe has ever experienced since the Primordial Origin. If you were Zhao Wuyan, what would you do?”
“Zhao Wuyan!” As soon as he heard this name, Fate Creation Boy was obviously taken aback. This name seemed to have brought back some of his old memories. “Zhao Wuyan? You know him better than I do. Are you sure he is going to strike this time?”
“Strike? Is the current Void Universe still worth this kind of move?” Ghost Child laughed aloud. ” Or perhaps he is just a p.a.w.n. But for the Void Universe, a p.a.w.n is enough to take all of your lives!”
“Well, no matter what, it’s true that the attack from the Devil Tribulation is looming on the horizon, isn’t it?”
“I’m not sure, but I’ve already smelt a familiar whiff of the event!” Ghost Child answered thoughtfully with a grin.
