Chapter 767: The First Round of Battle
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Zhou Bao displayed the power of a practitioner who was a half step to Earthly Immortal in that blow.
When one was infinitely close to breaking through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, but still had an essential difference between him and a real Earthly Immortal, we called the stage he attained, “a half step to Earthly Immortal”.
However, this half a step proved a journey filled with numerous difficulties and dangers. It impeded countless practitioners.
For example, Qing Feng and Ming Yue from the Fifth Manor were both a half step to Earthly Immortal. However, they had been stranded in this stage for many years. It was extremely difficult for them to bridge that gap and become real Earthly Immortals.
“Hmph! Do you think yourself worthy to suppress me because you are an Earthly Immortal?!” Zhou Bao sneered and his eyes flashed with strange, red light. Suddenly, his body floated up, and around him, Ruo Lin, Cundi, and other people disappeared simultaneously—absorbed into his Supreme Fairy Weapon.
Of course, Zhou Bao did not expose his Supreme Fairy Weapon, because he directly wrapped them into the Azure Big World.
In the eyes of other people, they did not take the Azure Big World as a macro world, but mistook it for Zhou Bao’s Self-world.
Zhou Bao practiced the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill and possessed the Real Body of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, therefore, his cultivation had already reached the Lord of Heaven Realm. However, he had not evolved his Self-world yet. The Azure Big World, obviously, bridged that gap.
“BOOM!”
He punched into the hollow.
“Come out, you old bastard!”
“How bold you are!” Zhou Bao cracked the space of the Thunder Capital, firmer than a rock, with this punch. Furthermore, he voiced some sarcastic remarks. As a result, the Earthly Immortal hiding in the dark flew into a rage about his insults.
“Brat, I must kill you. You’re digging your own grave. I’m going to rip your skin off and take your tendons out, so that you can have no chance to free yourself!”
While boasting, an invisible canopy fell from the sky.
“Damn, it’s his macro world!”
Although the canopy was invisible, Zhou Bao’s spiritual mind remained acute. He immediately understood that this Earthly Immortal meant to drag him into his macro world—his home field. If pulled into it, he would be trampled by him.
“Break!” Zhou Bao’s ferocity aroused at this point. The attack of an Earthly Immortal was indeed extraordinary powerful. The Earthly Immortal not only enveloped Zhou Bao with his macro world but also constrained the space around him. This kind of constraint appeared different from the space constraint Zhou Bao had seen before. It was more powerful because it directly placed a constraint on the essence of the space. Zhou Bao could do nothing despite the fact he was proficient in the Great Way of Heavens and Realms.
“You are too naive, Young Man. Do you really believe you can fight an Earthly Immortal being only a half step to Earthly Immortal? Surely you jest! I can crush you with a single finger!”
“Bullshit!” Without hesitation, Zhou Bao operated the Mysterious Icy Divine Light. His body shook violently and forcefully broke open the diamond-tough space. “Then show me what you can do now! You’d better be careful lest I cut your finger off!”
“You son of a bitch!” Zhou Bao’s aggressiveness made the Earthly Immortal’s blood boil. The floating clouds surged in the sky and then a huge finger dropped from them. It pressed down on Zhou Bao’s head and threatened to crush him alive.
“That’s what I want, damn it!”
Eyeing the coming finger, Zhou Bao did not panic but stood pleased. He devoted himself to practice punching skill and what he liked most was the hand-to-hand battle. It tempered his punching skill and fist intent. No matter how formidable an Earthly Immortal was, the power one of his fingers exerted should not be too powerful. He used that as his touchstone and charged at that Earthly Immortal without hesitation.
“BOOM!”
Zhou Bao felt a powerful force creep over his fist and then flew back as quickly as an arrow leaves a string. This impact broke the constraint on the Thunder Capital and he rushed out of this city.
And the finger that stretched out stopped for a while. The huge impact generated in this fight’s round screeched and teetered the Thunder Capital space.
At the same time, a layer of deep-blue light covered the finger, and streams of mysterious cold air circled around it as well.
“How could this be possible? How could this man have such an enormous amount of power? This is the Icy Divine Light. No, it’s more powerful than that. What the hell is this power?!” In the depths of the Thunder Capital’s space, that Earthly Immortal suddenly felt a chill in his finger. Later, a biting chill spread to his body along his finger.
But he did not care much about it.
He crossed the Earthly Immortal Tribulation and created a complete macro world. That meant he was no longer afraid of any attack of the Dharma power. He possessed the ability to transform any Dharma power into the pneuma of his macro world without making an effort. Without the power to break a macro world, no one could harm him.
Although the Icy Divine Light held incredible power, the damage it could do to an Earthly Immortal was limited. Zhou Bao transformed the Mysterious Divine Light contained in his fist into the purest destructive power and that sent a chill through the Earthly Immortal.
“It seems that I’m really old. Even a little accident can disturb the inner peace of my mind now. After I crossed the Earthly Immortal Tribulation, my pneuma was greatly undermined and I didn’t have enough time to consolidate my strength. It seems that I need to seize the time to do that now!”
Zhou Bao flew out of the Thunder Capital due to the impact, but he failed to leave the boundary of the Eastern Thunder Sect. He was shocked the moment he stood out of the city.
“Wow! What a wild scene!”
At this moment, not only the Thunder Capital, but also the entire inner part of the Eastern Thunder Sect already became a huge altar. The differences were that most of the people in the altar inside this sect were ordinary people and they outnumbered the practitioners in the Thunder Capital. At least tens of billions of ordinary people or practitioners whose cultivation ranked below the Mysterious Realm were stuffed into the Eastern Thunder Sect and became the sacrifices of the altar.
The altar had been activated.
Light vital breath lingered inside the Eastern Thunder Sect. Without being noticed, the Ghost Child stretched out his head and inhaled the vital breath.
“Oh yes, it’s fabulous! Such a strong smell of blood and vital breath are tonics. Boy, you might as well follow my suggestion and allow the Eastern Thunder Sect to launch the blood sacrifice. In that case, I can absorb all the vital breath here in one go. I then can restore at least 30% of my strength and will be able to exert 40% of my strength in a short period. Killing an Earthly Immortal is definitely out of question. What do you think?”
The Ghost Child did not stop tempting Zhou Bao, nor did he hide his desire for blood.
“Abandon your wishful thinking. I’ll destroy the altar here first!”
Destruction was always much easier than construction.
The Eastern Thunder Sect had two altars used for summoning Primordial Divine Demons, but they never used them. Their masters of past ages did their best to maintain the altars in order to guarantee they utilized them smoothly someday and to prevent any accidents from happening. Therefore, the two altars were perfect and could summon Primordial Divine Demons successfully at any time they wished, with abundant sacrifices of course.
When the Earthly Immortal attacked Zhou Bao, the two altars—be the one outside of the Thunder Capital or the other inside the Eastern Thunder Sect—all activated simultaneously.
For this reason, the Ghost Child took some advantages and absorbed a little bit of Massacre Qi.
However, no one expected that inside the Thunder Capital, there was someone who could withstand the attack of that Earthly Immortal and break through the constraint on this city. Hence, the altar outside of the Eastern Thunder Sect was not so tightly guarded. Due to the impact, Zhou Bao bumped into the altar, and like a rubber ball, he sprang into mid-air.
Thanks to his tough skin, he offset the attack force of that Earthly Immortal through these actions.
“It cannot go on like this. Hiding my strength in front of an Earthly Immortal is like digging my own grave. It seems that I really need to pull no punches!” The Earthly Immortal far exceeded Zhou Bao in strength. If Zhou Bao did not attack him with all his might, he would likely be defeated and even be killed today. After the first round of their battle, he still believed that the Earthly Immortal’s strength was unmeasurable.
“Ah!!!” Zhou Bao roared in mid-air. The Demonic Ape Zhuyan, more than 1,000 feet tall, appeared behind him and integrated with him.
“BOOM!”
With Zhuyan’s large body, Zhou Bao stamped violently on the ground and smashed one of the corners of the altar inside the Eastern Thunder Sect.
Then, he punched the altar and divided its power into several parts. Within a breath, a burst of thunderous noise resounded out in the Eastern Thunder Sect. The altar’s several critical points turned into ruins under his punching force.
“Good lord! You’ve wasted such a precious thing recklessly!”
The altar malfunctioned after its critical points were destroyed. The vital breath it had just gathered dissipated immediately.
“Damn it, brat! Go to hell!”
This result was totally out of the expectation of the Eastern Thunder Sect. They had not prepared any remedial measure, so they did nothing but watch Zhou Bao destroy the altar inside the Eastern Thunder Sect with his huge body.
They could do nothing, but the Earthly Immortal was still mighty.
“It’s a Primordial Fierce Beast, the Demonic Ape Zhuyan! I’m wondering why do you have the guts to behave arrogantly in front of me. It turns out that you have such a good luck. However, not to mention that the Real Body of Zhuyan you possess is immature, even if it is grown-up, I am able to tear it to pieces if it gets in the way of my plan.”
In a burst of thunderous roars, a huge palm fell from the sky and struck Zhou Bao.
