Chapter 768: The Power of an Earthly Immortal and Bathing in Blood

A palm! This time it was a palm, not merely a finger like what had appeared earlier. Zhou Bao had destroyed the outskirts of Thunder Capital, including the altar inside Eastern Thunder Sect. This forced them to make changes in their game plan and also rendered fruitless all their painstaking efforts through the years. Right now, Eastern Thunder Sect hated Zhou Bao with a vengeance. Even their Earthly Immortal could not stand him any longer. Thus, from this moment, the Earthly Immortal started to seriously plan his attacks. He launched his power, ready to bombard Zhou Bao to death.

“Great timing!”

Seeing this palm attack approaching with even stronger powers than what was contained in the finger, Zhou Bao did not panic at all. On the contrary, he felt excited. His body suddenly rose up to a height of 10,000 feet and he let out a loud roar. His two fists swung out simultaneously, and charged into the palm.

“Now, let me test the legendary strong power of an Earthly Immortal!”

The Mysterious Icy Divine Light started circulating frantically inside his body, and his majestic fist intent emerged. As his fists struck out, glowing dots of starlight glistened and formed the shadow of a universe; this bore down hard onto the palm.

“Eh? This is…”

Zhou Bao spared no efforts in this strike. This fist attack was way more powerful than what the old guy had expected. He had already cast his palm out to attack and it was too late to withdraw it.

“Boom!”

As his fists collided with the palm, Zhou Bao’s 1,000 feet high body was thrown to the bottom of Eastern Thunder Sect, leaving half of his body lying on the surface. The palm was also tossed dozens of feet high up in the air, accompanied by a vague shriek of shock.

Invisible ripples spread in all directions, and claimed the lives of all living creatures in Eastern Thunder Sect. These living creatures had narrowly escaped being killed at the altar, but were unable to avoid being destroyed during the duo’s battle. This was really a pity.

“Damn old man, good show!” Zhou Bao’s injury was not severe. With his newly acquired skills of the Three Flowers above the Head and features of the Primordial Fierce Beast, he was now able to recover instantly as long as he was not reduced to dust. Although the power of an Earthly Immortal was immense, his opponent obviously had not used all of his strength in this instance. Despite his injuries, he was not badly hurt. With a snigger, his hands gave a push against the ground and he vaulted smoothly to his feet.

“Earthly Immortal, hee hee, is that all you’ve got to show?”

“How arrogant you are!”

A streak of light zoomed across the sky, hovered in front of Zhou Bao and nearly pierced his body with its sharp strength.

The Three Realms Division had already been launched in the shortest time.

He was pretty lucky. Earlier on when he was battling with the Earthly Immortal, the strength he produced not only snuffed out all the lives in the vicinity but also shattered the space of Eastern Thunder Sect into pieces, leaving no place intact. It was largely due to this that he was able to execute his Three Realms Division move so smoothly here.

“Boy, hurry up, very soon the altar in Thunder Capital will be launched. I can smell the blood in it now. If you don’t come up with a solution fast, we will fail!”

“Humph, of course I have a solution!” Zhou Bao sneered. He moved forward with the speed of lightning, aimed his fist at Thunder Capital and blasted a wide opening on the wall. Then, he rushed in.

“You’re courting death!” Watching Zhou Bao hurtling into Thunder Capital, the Earthly Immortal immediately knew what he was up to. Thus, another palm swept downwards, aiming directly for Zhou Bao.

“Old man, one palm is not enough to take me down!” Before he finished speaking, the streak of light that he dodged a moment ago reappeared and joined the huge palm.

Little boy, let’s see whether you’ll die under this strike or not!”

“Of course I won’t!” Zhou Bao growled. He held up his fists and hit the streak of light.

“No matter who the hell you are, now you can drop dead!”

The vast shadow of a universe re-emerged in his fists and collided directly with the light.

“Bang!”

A thud resounded and the streak of light disintegrated from the impact of the fist attack. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao felt a stabbing pain spread down his hands.

In the next second, Zhou Bao caught a glimpse of the true features of the streak of light—it resembled the Demon Devil Needles, but its level was much higher. It was a bronze awl made up of numerous fine needles and was extremely sharp and dangerous.

Thanks to his tough body, the awl did not penetrate Zhou Bao’s fists when they collided with each other. Instead, the awl was shattered by their tremendous power. That, however, did not mean that Zhou Bao was safe now.

The scattering of fine needles rained down on Zhou Bao while the palm approached Zhou Bao from behind.

“Shatter them, shatter, shatter!”

Zhou Bao bellowed, darting forward like a bolt of lightning. Right now, he was assuming the form of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, and was covered in snow-white fur. In a fit of anger, his fur bristled and stood up as if they had turned into steel needles. Surprisingly, those steel needles fended off every single fine needle that rained from the sky.

At the same time, a puff of ice-cold Qi was emitted from his snow-white fur. The moment the fine needles came into contact with the icy Qi, they froze.

Though this freezing effect was temporary, it allowed Zhou Bao to have a breather. He abruptly sped up, launched several successive strikes with his fists and violently smashed the surrounding space. Then, he fled into the hollow to escape the palm which had been relaunched by the Earthly Immortal.

“There is no way you can escape!”

The Earthly Immortal from the Eastern Thunder Sect was already fuming. Letting Zhou Bao slip through his fingers time and again not only significantly disgraced him but was also a shock to his shaky Earthly Immortal phase. What was more distressing was that after taking Zhou Bao’s single punch, his pneuma had already been slightly damaged by the pure destructive Mysterious Divine Light that Zhou Bao had.

That was the pneuma of an Earthly Immortal. Although he did not lose a large amount of pneuma, he did not have much left because he had entered the Earthly Immortal phase only recently. For him, even a tiny bit of pneuma loss could cause serious damage.

Therefore, at this moment, he made up his mind to destroy Zhou Bao totally, even if he had to pay a huge price.

He figured out that this Zhou Bao must possess some rare secrets, otherwise he could not have handled his attacks so skilfully. Even a man who was half a step away from the Earthly Immortal Realm could not have fought against an Earthly Immortal like this. Zhou Bao took two of his consecutive strikes without having to resort to any fairy or magic weapon. This naturally made him reconsider Zhou Bao’s true strength.

“The Primordial Fierce Beast, or the Demonic Ape Zhuyan, has always been known to be the Powerful Magic Ape. But Zhou Bao is not fully matured yet, so he can’t have the power to have a go at me. But his body is very strong, way beyond my expectation, and it is equivalent in strength to the body of an Earthly Immortal. There is something very fishy about it. Now, if I catch him, kill him, and take away all that he owns, perhaps I’ll have a chance to upgrade my level!”

His fighting spirit ignited by this prospect, this Earthly Immortal from Eastern Thunder Sect decided to give his all in the forthcoming battle.

When Zhou Bao fled into the hollow, his plan was to take a break before picking on Eastern Thunder Sect and demolishing them there. However, when he just slipped into the hollow, he felt something was amiss.

The Void Universe was filled with a great pressure. Being squeezed by this pressure, everything in the hollow started moving to the side, giving way to a huge figure that appeared in the hollow. “Boy, you’re a good combatant, and your background is also quite mysterious. But now, seeing that I have spent a large amount of pneuma to hunt you down in the form of my Real Body, even if you die today, you should be able to rest in peace!”

“Real Body?”

Staring at the tall figure, Zhou Bao’s eyes almost popped out. The Void Universe had its own set of stringent rules. The power of an Earthly Immortal had long surpassed the range allowed in the Void Universe, so his Real Body normally could not be revealed in the Void Universe. However, this rule was not rigidly followed.

Everyone knew that there were loopholes in every rule, let alone for a mighty guy who had reached the Earthly Immortal phase.

But most of the time, a high price had to be paid in order to take advantage of these loopholes. Even for an Earthly Immortal, he would have a headache when facing such a cost. Thus, if it was not due to absolute necessity, no Earthly Immortal would come to the Void Universe in the form of his Real Body.

However, this time, this Earthly Immortal from Eastern Thunder Sect revealed his Real Body in front of Zhou Bao. This implied that he regarded Zhou Bao as a powerful enemy. But meanwhile, it also meant that he had foreseen the huge benefits he could seize from Zhou Bao.

“Boy, be careful, this guy is getting serious—”

“Device spirit of a fairy weapon, do you still want to play tricks under my nose?”

Before poor Ghost Child could finish his sentence, he was detected by the Earthly Immortal. In an instant, an overbearing divine thought swept over.

Ghost Child retracted his head and vanished.

“You’re an interesting boy! You must have taken the path of developing the Extreme Realm of Force and the crushing vacuum skill. Well, that’s the top skill of the 3,000 Great Ways. No wonder you’re so tough. However, from primitive times till today, I have never heard of anyone who succeeded in this path. Do you believe you can really make it?”

“Well, I’m just about to make it. But today I happened to bump into you, an old guy, insistent on getting in my way!”

“Hee hee, yes, you bumped into me. Even if you do have the luck to go further in this path, I will not allow you to do so. Boy, be ready to die!” As he spoke, his figure disappeared. At almost the same time, Zhou Bao’s body was tossed into the air by an intangible force, as if it were just a piece of rag; his golden blood splattered in every direction.

“Even though you’re only a half step to the Earthly Immortal Realm, your phase is still not high enough. You simply have powerful strength, which you haven’t fully mastered yet. Today, having encountered me, how can you possibly have a chance to fight back?” A loud and mighty voice reverberated in the hollow. The intangible power transformed into a tangible one, and it whipped frantically across Zhou Bao.

A thin layer of dark blue light rose around Zhou Bao. This was the Mysterious Icy Divine Light. Nevertheless, this light was utterly unable to sustain the attack of the Earthly Immortal, and once again, a sense of helplessness stole across Zhou Bao.

“Earthly Immortal! This is the power of an Earthly Immortal! Faced with this sort of power, I really have no strength to fight back!”

He began to lose consciousness. “Ghost Child, do something! If not, I’ll be killed. You didn’t trick me into this, did you? If you don’t take action now, I’ll resort to using my Black Pearl. When I get out, I assure you, you won’t have a nice ending!” Among the Sea of Consciousness, the only trace of Zhou Bao’s spirit that remained, roared frenetically.
