Chapter 820: To s.n.a.t.c.h Treasure and to Infiltrate the Seven Mysteries World
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Rumble, rumble—
The purple bamboo stick really touched the Steel Giant, and then something strange happened. The seemingly mighty Steel Giant started to crumble.
The Celestial Punishment Palace seemed to have suffered a blow, too. The golden gear hanging over the Emperor Hulong stopped turning, and the surrounding s.p.a.ce immediately loosened and returned to its original state.
“How is this possible? How could this happen?”
Dozens of divine thoughts swept in at once, sending out waves of wonder.
The Celestial Punishment Palace of the Emperor Hulong was broken.
“Look out!”
A divine thought suddenly appeared and warned the Emperor Hulong, but it was too late. A large golden seal emerged above his head, das.h.i.+ng at him with tremendous breath of destruction.
Boom!!!
The huge golden seal hit his forehead, causing the Emperor Hulong to stagger.
He felt dizzy. And before he could respond, he saw Zhou Bao’s fingers in the shape of a dustpan hurtling towards the Celestial Punishment Palace.
“That’s lousy!” He was astounded. He moved and wanted to stop Zhou Bao, but suddenly there was a flash of red light, and a sharp sword light was pointing at between his eyebrows.
“Get out!!!”
With a wrathful cry, he raised his hand and caused a s.p.a.ce Storm, trying to break up the sword light, but the result was a complete shock to everyone. The s.p.a.ce Storm did not do any harm to the Sword Qi. Pa.s.sing through the endless s.p.a.ce Storm, the Sword Qi quickly pierced his chest.
“Ah—”
“Puff—”
With a groan of pain, the Emperor Hulong retreated swiftly. In the process of retreating, he went deathly pale, and stared fiercely at Zhou Bao with the remaining right eye.
At this time, Zhou Bao had pressed the gear of the Celestial Punishment Palace. And the moment he pressed the gear, the Ghost Child stirred, and two fine rays of light shot out of his eyes, cutting the link between the incomplete Heavenly Fairy Weapon and the Emperor Hulong. Subsequently, the palace grew smaller with the visible speed of the naked eye, and finally became a ma.s.s of golden light into Zhou Bao’s palm.
“Boy, you—!”
Shocked and furious, the Emperor Hulong planned to recklessly launch his macro world to trap Zhou Bao. However, when he tried to start it, he was startled to find that the damage done to him by the Sword Qi was quite unexpected. If he was now desperate to start the macro world, he might be able to beat Zhou Bao, but his body would collapse immediately. The physical collapse of an Earthly Immortal was very serious, which meant that the Earthly Immortal’s body could no longer bear the power of a macro world, and that his macro world that he had worked so hard to create would collapse as well. In addition, this Earthly Immortal would at least lower a state in cultivation and become an Immortal. Worst of all, he would never be able to recreate a macro world, and the Immortal Realm was the culmination of his cultivation.
This was what made him most scruple!
“What exactly is that Sword Qi? It’s so sharp!”
The Emperor Hulong immediately decided to give up the incomplete Heavenly Fairy Weapon Celestial Punishment Palace in astonishment. Then he slipped into layers of s.p.a.ce in a flash, and vanished without a trace. Almost at the same time, his Second Primordial Spirit, who had been fighting with the Primordial Poison Spirit of Zhou Bao, also disappeared.
The fierce battle that shocked numerous Earthly Immortals came to an end out of the blue. Zhou Bao stood alone in the s.p.a.ce for a while, and did not understand what was going on.
“How quickly he escaped!” After a few minutes, he sighed a little, “He really knows how to choose. He deserves to be an Earthly Immortal!”
The last Sword Qi was the Immortal-killing Sword Qi. Weak as it was, it could annihilate an Immortal and make an Earthly Immortal lost the combat capability even though it was not enough to kill an Earthly Immortal.
Hulong had run away!!!
Zhou Bao was not alone in seeing his escape. Those Earthly Immortals, who watched the battle in the dark, began to communicate through their divine thoughts as soon as he fled. They speculated on the cause of his withdrawal. Either he was mad, or he was really under a mortal threat or he saw a mortal threat. Otherwise he would not run away or even give up his incomplete Heavenly Fairy Weapon Celestial Punishment Palace.
They suddenly thought of the Celestial Punishment Palace!
When Hulong had the Celestial Punishment Palace, no one could s.n.a.t.c.h it. Now it had just changed hands, and its new owner was only a Human Immortal. Besides, the Human Immortal had just had a fight with an Earthly Immortal. Though he seemed to have won, G.o.d knew how much power he had left.
All of a sudden, all the divine thoughts were itching for action.
The whole s.p.a.ce seemed to be stirred by this strange power.
Now was the best chance. If they missed this opportunity, no one would like to bother him when he recovered all his combat capability, even if he was only a Human Immortal.
Buzzing!!!
In a twinkling, dozens of divine thoughts interwove together and formed a strong web that encircled the s.p.a.ce.
“Would it be so easy to take advantage of me?” Aware of the feverish divine thoughts around him, Zhou Bao sneered. Then, his Primordial Poison Spirit became a black big hand and melted the net of the divine thoughts out a big hole, and he changed into the dust and momentarily disappeared within the range of those Earthly Immortals’ feeling.
“Eh?!”
“What’s this?”
“What a strong poison!”
“d.a.m.n it, it’s the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast. It can even melt divine thoughts!”
“What? The Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast? d.a.m.n it, he’s just a Human Immortal. How could he have something so insidious?”
For a moment, the dozens of divine thoughts got confused, and then all the divine thoughts in this s.p.a.ce were cut off.
“It’s the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast. He has actually refined the Primordial Poison Spirit with it. No wonder he could compete with an Emperor. It explains the matter! I see!”
Most of the Earthly Immortals seemed to know what was going on all at once.
“The Nine-headed Fierce Beast is one of the Six Royals; the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast is known as the most toxic things through the ages. With such powerful Second Primordial Spirit, he was indeed qualified to fight the Emperor. That Sword Qi just now should also contain a little bit of Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast to cause him to flee.”
These were only the guesses of these Earthly Immortals, who had no idea about the truth.
Crack!!!
A violent storm suddenly swept through a peaceful hollow in the Central Star Area. Then s.p.a.ces began to crack, and a figure emerged from the crack.
“Here is where that guy disappeared?!”
This figure was Zhou Bao. The center of this hollow was a macro world surrounded by a layer of gray s.p.a.ce, named Seven Mysteries World.
It was one of the core macro worlds of the Holy Alliance. Not only was this world bustling, but the hollow it was in was also bustling. As a result of a variety of inhibitions in the surrounding hollow, the sudden appearance of Zhou Bao immediately triggered a red alert to the Seven Mysteries World.
“Who are you? How dare you crash the Seven Mysteries World!” Just as Zhou Bao appeared, he heard a voice snapping at him, and then several people appeared in front of him.
“Seven Mysteries World?” Taking a look at these people, who were Human Immortals dressed in rich clothes, Zhou Bao ignored them. After a flash, he pa.s.sed through the layers of inhibition, and entered this macro world directly. What was most embarra.s.sing to these Human Immortals was that they did not realize how he had left, and that no one had found any trace of him since he entered the Seven Mysteries World.
You heard right, no one found Zhou Bao now in the Seven Mysteries World. It was because he had launched his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, and disguised as an ordinary Taoist at the Ghost Immortal Realm. Now he was wandering in the streets of a big city in the Seven Mysteries World.
The Seven Mysteries World had the ideal position and great power. All the people here were pract.i.tioners, and there was no ordinary person.
This was quite normal, as the spiritual qi and pneuma here were extremely abundant. It would be a great pity to live here without becoming a pract.i.tioner. As for the ordinary people, they lived in the hundreds of vast planets around the Seven Mysteries World. Those vast planets were poor in pneuma, but they were sufficient for the ordinary people to live, and even enabled them to live a good life, at least much better than lives in the Heaven Realm World. Moreover, there were many sects of practice on these vast planets, and these sects were closely related to the sects in the Seven Mysteries World. To put it bluntly, those vast planets and sects were the base for adding talents to the Seven Mysteries World, as well as the foundation for its enduring prosperity.
The Ghost Immortal Realm was the lowest standard of living in the Seven Mysteries World. In other words, without the power of Ghost Immortals, one could not come to the Seven Mysteries World. In this case, the Ghost Immortal was the largest group of pract.i.tioners there.
Having restrained his cultivation, Zhou Bao now was a Ghost Immortal heaving undergone Six Tribulations, which was one of the most ordinary people. Moreover, his dress was so common in this macro world that no one had noticed him, let alone found out what was wrong with him.
“Seven Mysteries World, Emperor Hulong, he really is one of the Earthly Immortal of this macro world. However, I had no conflict with this macro world. Why did he target me?”
