Chapter 782: Battle at a Distance
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The Void Competition was incredibly sacred.
However, sacred things were relative, and there were also exceptions.
Now, Zhou Bao had already defeated all of the practitioners of South China. Although the Human Emperor Yan Yuntian had not announced Zhou Bao’s victory, even an idiot would have known who won.
The winner was decided at the end of the battle. The battle in the hollow arena was over, and so no one could attack Zhou Bao unless he issued another challenge. But it seemed this giant claw in the sky did not care at all for this rule, and it was clear that it wanted to kill Zhou Bao right away. Otherwise, it would not have broken open the hollow so noiselessly and come so suddenly for him.
This made Zhou Bao jump. But his fist intent had not disappeared. On the contrary, after he had beaten the 35 practitioners he started thinking deeply and realized the insufficiencies in his own punching skill. It was at this point that the huge claw suddenly came stretching out. Zhou Bao was surprised, but he did not take it seriously. He lifted his hand swiftly, and the disk-shaped galaxy suddenly turned over. He was now facing the claw.
Whoosh!
Once again, the overturned galaxy changed, and the ubiquitous gravity turned into a sharp sword able to cut everything. In the blink of an eye, the giant claw was torn to pieces.
Everyone thought that the claw looked incredibly real, even its flesh and fur could be seen clearly. But it turned out to be a giant hand transformed by pneuma.
This was the Innate Qi Catching Skill. Until now, no one had wanted to use this skill to turn their hand into such a monstrous being.
Zhou Bao suddenly looked displeased. “An Earthly Immortal? Which Emperor is attacking me?”
Zhou Bao shouted, holding back all of his fist intent. Its body was fluttering around the suspended stone arena like a butterfly among flowers. It seemed to be dodging something.
“Boy, were you not so arrogant the last time you destroyed my incarnation? Why are you so polite this time?” An ancient voice came from outside the endless spacetime. “Last time, I, the Patriarch was in closed-door training, and you ran away from me. But I would like to see you try to run away this time!”
“Destroyed your incarnation?” Zhou Bao’s expression went cold as he thought about when he was helping the two Taoists at the Fifth Manor get rid of an Earthly Immortal incarnation. He originally thought that the Earthly Immortal was unable to leave his territory. But, he had just likely sent an incarnation to report to him back then. And although the incarnation was very lifelike, it had still been no problem for a person like Zhou Bao.
“So it turns out to be you, you old bastard. You are audacious coming out yourself to battle! Perhaps you don’t fear the Void Thunder Tribulation?” Zhou Bao asked, displeased.
This was not the Eastern Thunder World, and so the Patriarch of the Eastern Thunder Sect could dare to come and deal with him. One of the most important reasons was that at that time he was in the Eastern Thunder World, the territory of the Eastern Thunder Sect of which he was the Patriarch. But now he was in the Heaven Realm World, which was not the territory of this Earthly Immortal. It was unknown how many thousands of miles this Heaven Realm World was from this Earthly Immortal’s territory. It was surprising he appeared so brazenly to fight. It seemed he was relying on it.
“Hahaha! Are you afraid? The dealings of this emperor are none of your concern! Just be a good boy and die for me!” As he was speaking, a torrent of energy came falling from the sky, crushing to pieces the nameless spacetime. The surrounding practitioners started shouting angrily, brandishing their magic fairy weapons to protect themselves.
“Good, good, good! Then let me see the Earthly Immortal’s move!” Zhou Bao shouted, blue halos appearing on his body.
By this time, his Mysterious Icy Divine Light was fully operational. In an instant, Zhou Bao froze his space, and matter drifting freely in the endless spacetime was frozen in a boundless icy air. In a moment, thousands of miles of space had been completely turned into a world of ice crystals.
“The Icy Divine Light! It turns out King Wuyang’s practice was the Frost Giant’s Icy Divine Light! No wonder he is so powerful, no wonder he has such stamina!”
“Turns out it’s the Icy Divine Light! Haha, it looks like this was his bluff!”
“The Frost Giant’s Icy Divine Light. Cool! What a man! The Heaven Realm World deserves to be called the first macro world. I’m surprised there is a man such as this where the Heavenly Court is. I’m surprised. Indeed! I’m surprised!”
This was the first time that Zhou Bao had fully launched the Ice Soul Spirit’s Mysterious Divine Light. But his own Mysterious Divine Light was formless, and its effect was mostly internal. Therefore, even though he had used it, none of the bystanders could see what had happened. But his Icy Divine Light had an incredible power nonetheless and could be easily recognized.
“The Icy Divine Light! Okay! Let me experience the legendary power of the Frost Giant!” The Earthly Immortal was very surprised, but his voice portrayed a sense of curiosity. This Earthly Immortal had lived for so long, and yet he had never seen such a rare power as this Icy Divine Light. This piqued his interest.
“It’s not likely to reach the Frost Giant’s power, but you can experience the power of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan!” Zhou Bao smiled wryly. The Real Body of the Demonic Ape reappeared, and with it, a thick, red lightning ray came shooting out from the Void Universe.
Boom!
Zhou Bao met the lightning ray with his fist, smashing it to pieces.
“I don’t care who you are, you’ll be at a great disadvantage attacking me from so many thousands of miles away. You won’t win!” Zhou Bao shouted. “If you want to defeat me, you will have to show your true abilities!”
“Hahahaha, who do you think you are, making me show my true skill!” The Earthly Immortal’s voice came resounding once again. Zhou Bao felt that this voice was much closer now than it was before, and the pressure was much greater.
In the broken spacetime, a baseless vortex could be seen with the naked eye. In a moment, it grew to a diameter a hundred miles wide.
“Boy, you will see my true ability. My Space-time Vortex, take that!”
The vortex rotated, and space and time were stirred into it and shredded to pieces. It came straight for Zhou Bao. He stood in front of the vortex with his thousand-foot Real Body of Zhuyan. Compared to that, he was not even an ant. He was as vulnerable as a sesame seed in a hurricane, watching it as he was about to be pulverized.
“Come on!” Facing the vortex, Zhou Bao did not panic. He restrained the Mysterious Icy Divine Light throughout his body, and formed it into a mysterious force field, completely wrapping his body up and resisting the suction of the oncoming Space-time Vortex.
“If you want to kill me, you’ll have to do more than this!” Watching the Space-time Vortex coming ever closer, Zhou Bao held out his fist to meet it.
“Come on, black hole!”
Black hole!
Just like in Zhou Bao’s previous life, there were black holes in the Void Universe, many in fact. The Patriarch of the Eastern Thunder Sect once researched this mysterious celestial body while traveling the Void Universe. He had a greater than normal apprehension of it. He would be letting Zhou Bao off, by allowing him to directly integrate this apprehension into his fist intent punching skill. From this, Zhou Bao had his move: a black hole.
At first, Zhou Bao had created a black hole the size of his fist. Facing the hundred-mile-wide vortex, not only did it not retreat, but it actually grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. As the black hole expanded, the Space-time Vortex shrunk.
“Hmph. Why has you vortex not engulfed my black hole?” Zhou Bao sneered. By now, the black hole had matched the vortex in size, and the Qi power overpowered it as it engulfed everything.
“I say, such a lame trick? It’s not even as good as your incarnation!”
“Arrogant boy!” The Earthly Immortal was shocked to see Zhou Bao launch this strange black hole. He had not thought that he could have had such a strange move. But this time, he was not gasping in admiration.
Boom!
The Space-time Vortex operated by the Earthly Immortal exploded as it was engulfed by the black hole. All of the spacetime, all of the power, was absorbed into the black hole. Zhou Bao felt a strong rush coming from the black hole, pounding into his spirit Dharma power and all of his tendons and meridians.
“Good strategy!”
The black hole could actually engulf everything in the universe. But it was Zhou Bao who launched it, and so he could restrict it. The Space-time Vortex was swiftly absorbed in a way akin to a mouth swallowing a fat person. It would cause Zhou Bao some indigestion, and he was stuffed.
Feeling the huge impact on his tendons and meridians, Zhou Bao realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, while Zhou Bao was busy stuffing himself, the spacetime changed again.
“You little brat, go to hell!”
As the Earthly Immortal roared, an extremely fine flame appeared from the hollow, like a sword light rolled up, coming straight for Zhou Bao.
The Pure Purple Heavenly Fire!
Zhou Bao was taken aback. This flame was extremely thin and deep purple all over. It contained a blistering spirit. He was very familiar with it, it was the spirit of the Pure Purple Heavenly Fire. And it was not his own weak Pure Purple Heavenly Fire, but a real one of the nine kinds of Heavenly Fire.
“Damn it!” Zhou Bao knew that with his current strength, he would be injured if not killed if burnt by that flame. He slapped his waist, and a yellow light came shining from it. It turned into a Skull Elixir Furnace, and it collided with the Pure Purple Heavenly Fire.
“Furnace of Immortality, absorb it for me!”
After he shouted, The Seven Apertures of the Skull Elixir Furnace shot rays of fiery light forming a huge hole in space. The hole swallowed up the Pure Purple Heavenly Fire.
