Chapter 806: Ending Up Worse Off
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Amazing! The Great Ancient Emperor really deserves his reputation!
Although it was just one finger, the damage it caused Zhou Bao was immeasurable. If it were not for Zhou Bao’s physical condition, he would have already been shattered.
But the finger did not disappear completely after it was smashed by Zhou Bao’s blow. It reformed in the s.p.a.ce and pointed downwards following Zhou Bao wherever he went as if it were about to push down on Zhou Bao again.
Crack crack crack!
As he was falling, Zhou Bao stretched out his left hand to brace himself.
“Stop!” he shouted. As he was falling to the ground like a meteor, he suddenly stopped. His left hand was stretched out and there flashed a golden ray. The Flipping Sky Seal a.s.sembled itself once again, and powerfully collided with the blue finger falling in the air.
Boom!
Another bang shook the heavens and completely took out the ice at the bottom of the sea. The Flipping Sky Seal was completely smashed once again, but this time the blue finger was completely disintegrated.
Zhou Bao stopped falling and turned himself upright. His figure flashed underground, and he returned to the top of the Ocean City.
He did not stay for long this time. He broke the hollow at once as if to escape.
“Kid, you cannot leave!”
The Vast Sea Emperor saw what Zhou Bao was doing, and could not help but laugh.
Indeed, since Zhou Bao came to the sky above Ocean City, he could not leave. He was imprisoned but only had three strikes. In this place near the sea, he could influence the s.p.a.ce with his power. This surrounding s.p.a.ce was not constrained, but it was in a strange state, almost as if becoming water. Suddenly, Zhou Bao was drowning. He could exert his s.p.a.ce Divine Sense, but the result was far from expected. He had wanted to break the s.p.a.ce to the east, but after he did so he found he was in the west. If he wanted to go to the north, he found himself in the south. This was a lot more troublesome than being unable to break the s.p.a.ce!
After several attempts, Zhou Bao stopped and grew sullen. He brandished his Furnace of Immortality for solid protection. He did not look for the Vast Sea Emperor’s location, he had the Heavenly Fairy Weapon for protection. Zhou Bao believed it was the Great Ancient Emperor, and it would not be easy to deal with him.
By now, he was not looking for the best move, he was just looking to avoid making mistakes.
This turtle tactic was a little tricky for the Vast Sea Emperor, but it was no big deal.
Heavenly Fairy Weapons were precious, but the Great Ancient Emperor also had one. If he really wanted to use it, it would waste all of his power to strike. This was not because it would use up all the Dharma power, it was precisely the opposite. The Heavenly Fairy Weapon had a device spirit, and so it did not use up Dharma power, and it was a lot easier than a Taihao Fairy Weapon. The problem was that his Heavenly Fairy Weapon, like him, was restricted to one place. If he wanted to use the Heavenly Fairy Weapon to break through the restriction and then recover it, he had to use up all his striking power at least.
This was not worthwhile for the Vast Sea Emperor, so he hesitated a little.
“Vast Sea Emperor, if you do not make another move and I break your surrounding s.p.a.ce form, you will not be able to catch me!”
“Zhou Bao, you asked for this!” After Zhou Bao spoke, the Vast Sea Emperor hesitated no more. His mission for today was to keep Zhou Bao in Ocean City and to keep him alive. If he did not, it would cause him a lot of unwanted trouble.
So, he decided to make the next move with full force.
A dim blue light, a majestic spirit, rose from the sea.
Crack crack crack!
Zhou Bao had turned the Icy Divine Light into Thousand-Year Dark Ice. The solid, frozen sea ice started to burst open. A faint mist started gus.h.i.+ng out from where the ice burst open, and it dispersed an immense Qi power.
Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes slightly and a strange smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. The Vast Sea Emperor’s fairy weapon must have quite a bit of Qi power.
However, he seemed to have forgotten what Zhou Bao depended on when he was starting out.
Qi Power, of course! For decades, Zhou Bao’s practice depended on Qi Power. His fist intent was a simulated universe, but who else could match his Qi Power?
So Zhou Bao stayed calm, and the Furnace of Immortality rotated slowly above his head. The surrounding faint golden fire-light gave off a vapor, seemingly unreal. It seemed to drift peacefully, but it was actually ready to strike.
Boom!
After a short time, the ice that had long been shrouded in the white mist had completely burst open, creating an enormous explosion. An abnormally shaped Elixir Furnace had cracked it open.
Wait, an Elixir Furnace?!
Seeing the Elixir Furnace on the ice, Zhou Bao was perplexed. The Vast Sea Emperor’s Heavenly Fairy Weapon turned out to be an Elixir Furnace.
This Elixir Furnace was nothing like Zhou Bao’s Furnace of Immortality. It was dark green all over, had three legs under it and two ears on top. It was like a standard traditional Chinese tripod stove.
“Roar!”
As Zhou Bao stood dumbstruck, the Elixir Furnace let out a huge roar. A large blue dragon came flying out.
“That little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, soon you’ll die!”
The blue dragon was a hundred feet long and had a bold and powerful form. It had awe-inspiring Qi Power. Everything within a hundred miles quaked as it bellowed in agitation. This was the device spirit of the Vast Sea Emperor’s Elixir Furnace.
“This is what you get!” Seeing the blue dragon, Zhou Bao breathed a sigh of relief. The Furnace of Immortality above his head started expanding violently and crashed straight into the Elixir Furnace.
The Blue Dragon device spirit did not think Zhou Bao would act so immediately and with such a violent method. Seeing it crash into the Elixir Furnace, he was not to be outdone, and with a growl met the attack.
Boom!
The two Elixir Furnaces collided together, and a huge boom shook the heavens. All of the clouds in the sky were shaken away, revealing a dark sky.
“Nice. I enjoyed that, hahaha! I haven’t had such a thrill for a long time!”
The two Elixir Furnaces swung apart again and were now more than a hundred feet apart. They were not damaged, but the Blue Dragon device spirit seemed invigorated. They seemed to be evenly matched. Just as he was about to praise his opponent and say how much he enjoyed it, there was a sudden change.
A black light like a Haidinger’s brush suddenly jumped out of the Furnace of Immortality and pounced on the Blue Dragon.
The Blue Dragon didn’t feel anything at first. It opened its mouth and sprayed a blue flame towards the black light.
Poof!
It hit the black light with no effect at all. It was unclear whether the black light absorbed it or something else. In a moment, the black light came right up to the Blue Dragon’s face.
The Blue Dragon device spirit had only now realized and panic was rising in its heart. It was a panic rising from the depths of the blood and soul, an instinctual fear. It did not know what had happened, but it knew it could not go on like this, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this moment, time seemed to be slowing down. The black light watched straight ahead where it was about to pounce. The Blue Dragon device spirit rose up vigorously and roared. Its solid body finally swaying, it borrowed back into the dark cyan Elixir Furnace.
Whoos.h.!.+
The black light threw itself mercilessly into the Elixir Furnace.
“Boy, you are dead!” Obviously, he did not imagine that this black light would go into his own Elixir Furnace. The Blue Dragon device spirit was not startled for long before it was overjoyed. This strange black light had caused him instinctual fear, but this did not mean it had no power to fight back. Inside the Elixir Furnace was its own domain, and here it was infinitely stronger. It did not matter what this black light was, in the Elixir Furnace it was placing itself at the dragon’s mercy.
But would it really be as easy as he thought?
Seeing the black light dive into the Elixir Furnace, Zhou Bao’s expression turned cold. The Furnace of Immortality started to give out a huge yellow light, which started to violently collide with the dark cyan Elixir Furnace. Then, the Flipping Sky Seal once again appeared in front of Zhou Bao, and with loud bangs started smas.h.i.+ng into it.
Bang, bang, bang!
The continuous impacts caught the Blue Dragon off guard.
There was no easy way of invoking the Elixir Furnace’s power. At this point, the black light started showing its true face.
The Dragon Chimera!
It was pitch black all over, and actually not that big. Whereas the Blue Dragon was more than a thousand feet long, this was only ten feet and looked quite weak. It was wrapped in a black flame. Gazing at the Blue Dragon device spirit with both eyes, it was filled with desire.
Dragon, a real dragon!
The Blue Dragon device spirit was actually made into a real dragon, which made the Dragon Chimera extremely happy. After so many years, it had finally encountered a real dragon, and a real dragon could satisfy its appet.i.te.
Roar!
The Dragon Chimera roared and charged at the Blue Dragon device spirit. The Blue Dragon realized its situation was not ideal, but went to meet the attack anyway. As it had extra power inside the Elixir Furnace, it had a little extra confidence when it went to face the Dragon Chimera.
Soon, the Blue Dragon and the Dragon Chimera were entangled. The Dragon Chimera was only one hundredth the size of the Blue Dragon device spirit, and their fighting power was not evenly matched. But it was clear the black fire around the Dragon Chimera severely harmed the Blue Dragon. Each time the Blue Dragon touched the black flame, part of it melted away. In a few moments, more than half of the Blue Dragon’s body had already melted away.
The device spirit wanted to mobilize the power of the Elixir Furnace, but now the continuous impacts of the Flipping Sky Seal and the Furnace of Immortality outside were wearing the Elixir Furnace down, so that its power could not be mobilized.
“Vast Sea Emperor, do you know what your biggest mistake was?” Zhou Bao’s laughter dissipated throughout the sky. “If you look, you’ll see I’m using a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, and you are using a Heavenly Fairy Weapon to fight me. You have forgotten that I have more than a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, but in this restrictive state you have set up, you can only use one. It doesn’t matter how powerful your fairy weapon is, it is nothing against two of them. Defeat is inevitable!”
As he was speaking, Zhou Bao did not move. Strike after strike, he attacked the dark cyan Elixir Furnace. Meanwhile, a thought came into his Second Primordial Spirit. “No matter what you do, do it quickly. Before the Vast Sea Emperor launches his third strike, let me dispose of that d.a.m.n device spirit!”
“It’s almost done!” Inside the Elixir Furnace, the backing of the Elixir Furnace’s power was lost because of the innate restriction. Although the Blue Dragon device spirit had resisted attacks for a while, it was no match, and Zhou Bao’s Dragon Chimera completely engulfed it.
Boom!
Losing the device spirit of the Elixir Furnace from the attack of the Flipping Sky Seal, Furnace of Immortality, and Zhou Bao’s fist, it exploded. As it exploded, a flame shot out from within the Furnace of Immortality, engulfing the fragments of the Elixir Furnace until there was nothing left.
“No—!”
Meanwhile, a roar shook the heavens. The ice that had stretched for a thousand miles burst completely open.
