Chapter 862: Fighting the Second Crown Prince of Jade Emperor (Ⅰ)
Translator: Transn Editor: TransnIn Zhou Bao’s imagination, the third layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock was supposed to be the void where Upper-grade Taihao Fairy Weapons floated everywhere. However, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Because what he saw was a space full of liquid rather than the void.
Yes, water… extremely ordinary water. Untold light spots floated in the water, each one representing a Taihao Fairy Weapon.
Zhou Bao’s expression turned strange. There were not only Upper-grade and Highest-grade Taihao Fairy Weapons here, but also some fairy weapons whose grades were infinitely close to that of Heavenly Fairy Weapons. To his surprise, some even produced device spirits. Though they had no spiritual intelligence, these device spirits were the dominators of this world. They drifted in the water and continually swallowed other light spots. Then they integrated the power of those light spots into their body and their strength grew little by little.
All of this reminded Zhou Bao of the most primitive part of the earth in his previous life.
Life was born and grew in a vast ocean.
Taihao Fairy Weapons whose grades were very close to that of Heavenly Fairy Weapons, like the most primitive life forms on earth, gradually acquired spiritual intelligence. Once succeeding in doing so, they became Heavenly Fairy Weapons.
As for the Taihao Fairy Weapons that were swallowed up by the device spirits, they could only blame themselves for their inadequacy. They were turned into nutrients of Heavenly Fairy Weapons by the water.
In other words, this world was a hotbed of Heavenly Fairy Weapons.
Under these circumstances, neither Zhou Bao nor Kong Ti would be so silly as to catch the Taihao Fairy Weapons. Only God knew whether the device spirit of the Treasure-snatching Rock was keeping a close eye on the situation here. If they acted rashly and pissed it off, they would have to reap what they sowed. And given that it had shattered the formidable willpower of a Celestial Immortal simply with the sound of a bell, its power obviously far exceeded theirs.
They almost did not communicate at all with each other in this space. After figuring out the situation here, they immediately put their minds on how to get into the fourth layer. But because their divine thoughts were greatly disturbed here, they were unable to sweep around to quickly find the unusual places nearby like they could in the outer layers.
Such being the case, they had no other choice but to search for the entrance to the fourth layer silently and slowly with their divine thoughts.
“Hahahaha, I didn’t expect anyone else to enter here earlier than me. Kong Ti, I can’t believe you are here too. Well, that’s great. Let me kill you and seize your fate and Divine Sense!”
Just as they were looking for the entrance to the fourth layer, a voice full of arrogance rang out. Shortly afterward, sparks flew out in all directions and crimson thunderbolts filled the entire space in a flash.
“Damn it!” Zhou Bao cursed.
Being a world full of water, the current here moved unimpeded. In merely an instant, it pervaded the entire third layer.
Even the Taihao Fairy Weapons floating in this layer were severely damaged by the scarlet lightning. Their light dimmed, leaving only the slightest glimmer of light. And for Zhou Bao and Kong Ti, their situation was much worse.
Protected by the Five-colored Divine Light, Kong Ti barely survived the scarlet lightning. Zhou Bao, unlike Kong Ti, was afraid of thunderbolts, although he possessed a Heavenly Fairy Weapon—the Pool of Thunder Tribulation.
What was this place?
It was known as the Treasure-snatching Rock. So, before anyone could grab any treasures from here, their own treasures would be taken away first. And if he were to take out the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and get it snatched by the Treasure-snatching Rock, he would have gone out for wool and come home shorn.
Therefore, without confidence, Zhou Bao had to fight head-on. He neither possessed the Five-colored Divine Light nor was he willing to expose his identity, so the only thing he could do was shield his body with sword light.
Suddenly, the scarlet lightning struck the Immortal-killing Sword Qi and the entire world was immediately turned upside down.
“Huh? Immortal-killing Sword Qi! You are the young god of swords, Man Yujun? How can that be possible?”
“Of course I am not Man Yujun!” Zhou Bao looked extremely displeased. Why did everyone mistake him for Man Yujun when they saw him? Was that bastard the only one qualified to obtain the Four Immortal-killing Swords Qi in this world?
Zhou Bao was annoyed by this kind of feeling and point of view.
It was as if someone had suddenly said that the toy in his hand did not belong to him but to somebody else. Furthermore, the supposed owner bore a grudge against him. How could he not have been annoyed by that?
Hence, he said rudely, “Second Crown Prince of Jade Emperor, you robbed and killed a Tribulation Taker named Huang Lei from the Northernmost Sea World and obtained half of his fate and all of his Divine Senses. I thought you were extraordinary. Now, however, after seeing you in person, I find you just so ordinary!”
“Who are you, brat? How dare you talk to me like that?!” A man dressed in deluxe brocades emerged, and giant red bolts of lightning circled around him. “Since you are digging your own grave, I will grant your death wish. You shall never be born again! Crimson Thunder, exterminate everything!”
As the voice full of violence resounded, the crimson thunderbolts pressed down on Zhou Bao with all their might.
“Do you think I’m afraid of you?!” Zhou Bao refused to show weakness facing the Crimson Thunder, but he did not treat it lightly. A transparent Natal Sword rose up behind his head. As it appeared, its raging SwordQi pierced the space of this layer and then shot at the Second Crown Prince.
“What? Immortal-slaying Sword Qi! You have acquired two kinds of SwordQi?” Seeing the two different kinds of frightening SwordQi coming from the same source, not to mention the Second Crown Prince, even Kong Ti was stunned. They thought that Zhou Bao was just a lucky man who had inherited the Immortal-killing Sword Qi and was destined to be Man Yujun’s stepping stone. Nevertheless, after Zhou Bao displayed two kinds of SwordQi and evolved the Natal Sword, their thoughts changed. It appeared that Man Yujun would become Zhou Bao’s stepping stone!
“Second Crown Prince, let me kill you and wrest from you everything that you acquired from Huang Lei!” Zhou Bao’s SwordQi transformed into a raging starry river that rushed toward the Second Crown Prince.
“Oh no!” Watching the river surge toward him, the Second Crown Prince’s face darkened. The Four Immortal-killing Swords were known for their ferocity. Man Yujun earned the title “Tribulation Taker ” just because he had attained a kind of SwordQi. Nonetheless, the man before him had inherited two kinds of SwordQi and successfully practiced the Natal Sword. Man Yujun was inferior to him from these aspects. However, this was neither the time to feel surprised nor the time to dig into the ins and outs of this matter. Noticing the SwordQi, the Second Crown Prince immediately put a small transparent shield in front of him. Meanwhile, the red thunderbolts flashing around him turned into a long scarlet knife that chopped Zhou Bao’s SwordQi.
“The Treasure-snatching Rock cannot influence his Heavenly Fairy Weapon!” When Zhou Bao saw the small shield, a strange light flashed through his eyes. This was the space of the Treasure-snatching Rock rather than just an ordinary place. Because the Second Crown Prince had the guts to take out his fairy weapon, that meant it was at least a Heavenly Fairy Weapon itself. Moreover, its device spirit was extraordinarily potent. Otherwise, it would not be able to resist the willpower of the Treasure-snatching Rock.
“Boom!”
Everything happened in the twinkling of an eye. The SwordQi collided with the scarlet knife and stirred up the space.
Neither Zhou Bao nor the Second Crown Prince were nobodies. After the violent collision, the Second Crown Prince’s knife, formed by thunderbolts, failed to block Zhou Bao’s Sword Qi and instantly fell apart.
“Boom!”
The SwordQi hacked at the circular transparent shield.
A dazzling white ray arose from the shield and blocked Zhou Bao’s blow.
The power of the combined blow of the Immortal-killing Sword Qi and the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi was indeed immeasurable. It even penetrated the space of the Treasure-snatching Rock. However, this inconspicuous shield warded it off.
“What a good treasure!” With a quick move, Zhou Bao came up to the Second Crown Prince. His fingers turned into five streaks of fierce SwordQi that grasped the Second Crown Prince’s head.
He did all this without any hesitation.
Swiftness and mercilessness were the characteristics of his attacks. He neither offered the Second Crown Prince a chance to fight back nor did he have any qualms about his identity.
“Sizzle…!”
The transparent shield protected the Second Crown Prince with an egg-shaped cover made out of white light. The five streaks of SwordQi fell from the sky and scratched the cover, sending out bursts of unpleasant noises.
“Crack, crack, crack…!”
“What? That’s impossible!” The Second Crown Prince was astonished to see the egg-shaped cover break inch by inch under the powerful attack. He was well aware of the defensive power of his Heavenly Fairy Weapon and was confident that he could escape an Earthly Immortal’s clutches even if the latter attacked him with all his strength. So, how about now? He failed to resist Zhou Bao’s attack!
