Chapter 884: The Start of Things to Come and the Azure Heavens Battle
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Zhou Bao had killed Man Yujun, stolen his Sword Qi, undergone the Earthly Immortal Tribulation and then was ambushed. Now he was still recovering from the attack by the Celestial Immortals. He had gained a lot of benefits from this series of events, but it had been a huge drain on his mind. Currently this was his least inspired moment and he was at his most vulnerable stage. Suddenly a blast of willpower appeared and Zhou Bao was caught somewhat unprepared to withstand it. Within this brief moment, when he was caught unawares, his spirit was dragged into a spiritual space time.
“Azure Big World?” Zhou Bao was certain about his location.
“That’s right. This is Azure Big World!” The spirit that had just attacked Zhou Bao responded so quickly that it surprised him. “I never imagined your spirit would be so strong!”
“Pfft, strong? It’s not my spirit!” Zhou Bao wanted to roll his eyes, but with his spirit the way it was, he could not. “If I guess correctly, you must be the Emperor of Azure Heaven. You seem like you want to continue waiting. But I have suddenly reached the Earthly Immortal rank and you cannot wait any longer. You want to attack me now, am I correct?”
The Emperor of Azure Heaven’s spirit went silent. A dim figure appeared inside this mysterious space. This silhouette wore a gorgeous jade-green imperial robe and had an incredibly elegant face. It looked totally flawless, but then again, practitioners were by nature, good-looking. Even if they weren’t initially good looking, as time passed and their cultivation grew day by day, their faces would also gradually change. The men would grow more handsome and the women more beautiful. But Zhou Bao had never met a guy as elegant as this.
He looked like a typical drag queen.
Especially when he was wearing that imperial robe – it was unclear whether it was a man’s robe or a woman’s robe.
“I say, feminine one, are you male or female?”
Zhou Bao blurted his question out tactlessly.
The Emperor of Azure Heaven was visibly shocked. Zhou Bao had given him too many surprises today. To start with, he caught him off guard and attacked him when he was not ready. Then with this first utterance, Zhou Bao had unmasked his intentions and even revealed that he had long been aware of his existence. He prevented him from giving vague information, which took him a bit by surprise. Anyway, the first time round he had been thoroughly prepared. He had been waiting for this day ever since the antiquity times were destroyed. He was an Earthly Immortal who had prepared for nearly a million years and was now ready to get into action. How could his preparations have been undermined by Zhou Bao in a single utterance?
But his second utterance indeed shocked the Emperor. No matter what, he did not expect Zhou Bao to blurt out this question so tactlessly. He had practiced for countless years. In antiquity times he had achieved the Earthly Immortal rank and was one of the renowned 99 Emperors of the Heaven Realm. No one was a match for him. How could someone be so daring as to ask such a question to his face? He did not know how to react.
That was what Zhou Bao wanted. After he asked the question, his entire spirit condensed into a slender needle and viciously stabbed at the Emperor of Azure Heaven’s silhouette.
He stabbed him when he was in a distracted state. Zhou Bao knew this first prick could not critically injure his opponent; he had been preparing for this for such a long time already.
Of course, everything went according to Zhou Bao’s plan. His attack made the Emperor raise an eyebrow and that was all. After that, the Emperor had another surprise – Zhou Bao’s spirit disappeared and his spiritual mind could not even sense any trace of the existence of Zhou Bao’s spirit.
“Such an unlucky guy. Although you have roused my spirit’s attention, I have the Extreme Realm of Force practice.” After the crushing vacuum, under the effect of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan and the Mysterious Divine Light, Zhou Bao’s spirit had long fused with his physical body. The Emperor of Azure Heaven had only gotten one divine thought out of Zhou Bao. Zhou Bao’s spirit was tempered through the Qi of Creation and although it had given him great advantages, it also left him very tired and he had let slip a divine thought. This did not cause serious harm and he formed it into a needle of consciousness. But after this needle pricked the Emperor, it disappeared, never to be seen again.
Meanwhile, Zhou Bao had entered Azure Big World.
Azure Big World had evolved from Azure Heaven, which belonged to the Emperor of Azure Heaven. Its essence had been refined by Zhou Bao and had experienced the Earthly Immortal Tribulation. After reaching the Earthly Immortal rank, Zhou Bao’s strength was on par with the Emperor of Azure Heaven and it was better for the Emperor not to come out. As soon as the Emperor appeared in the mystical darkness, Zhou Bao could vaguely work out his intentions.
“It’s a good plan. Unfortunately, you didn’t consider that I could have practiced the Extreme Realm of Force; You didn’t think that I would have the Zhuyan bloodline. My spirit and physical bodies have fused together with my three primordial spirits, so you could not extract my spirit with your power alone. And now you have ended up in this situation, and pose no threat to me whatsoever!”
The first thing that Zhou Bao did after appearing in Azure Big World was to slam his hand on the Wheel of Time and stop time there. After this trick, like the Sea Spirit Tree, the Tree of Seven Wonders produced some mysterious changes. The colorful light that had enshrouded the whole world started to retract to half its size. It still protected several of the important continents of Azure Big World, but the Azure Spirit Sea was no longer protected.
Originally, when Zhou Bao transferred the population of Heaven Realm World to Azure Big World, he used techniques that had allowed them to develop freely. But in Azure Big World, no-one, no matter how high their cultivation, was brave enough to provoke the people close to Zhou Bao. Now the Emperor of Azure Heaven had been forced out. Before he had been in hiding, so as not to alert Zhou Bao and he could not do anything in Azure Big World.
But now that he was able to, it was already too late.
It was a case of forestalling problems. Although Zhou Bao had control over Azure Big World, he had no worries about the human tribes or even the demon tribes he was bringing into Heaven Realm World. But he did not trust all the living creatures and demons that had originally inhabited Azure Big World. It was thus necessary for the living spaces of the imported living creatures and the original living creatures to be strictly separated. Heaven Realm World had sufficient space for the creatures’ activities and Azure Big World was big enough so that they would not get agitated. Now it seemed to have been a wrong decision.
When the Qi of Decay was blocked out by the Tree of Seven Wonders and disappeared into its rays, it came streaming into Azure Big World. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao had almost stopped the flow of time there, so the speed of the Qi of Decay’s flow slowed down too.
But it did not disappear.
The Qi of Decay could even erode time. Under the rays of the Tree of Seven Wonders that Zhou Bao controlled, the Qi of Decay filled every undefended corner of Azure Big World. When Zhou Bao pushed the Wheel of Time again, Azure Big World changed completely.
The Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena covered the entire world at extreme speed. This was a huge threat to the planet’s original demonic cultivations, the mighty living creatures. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao appeared in the depths of Azure Spirit Sea.
“He must be in this d*mned place. Haha, he really knows how to hide!”
In the depths of Azure Spirit Sea was a huge trench. It was so deep that you could not see the bottom. Standing beside the trench, it looked like a normal trench. However, there were several layers of spacetime hidden in its depths.
The innumerable spacetime formed a sheet that interacted with the endless spacetime of Azure Big World. It was in this spacetime that the Emperor of Azure Heaven’s spirit hid.
“Emperor of Azure Heaven, you must have had things arranged like this for a million years or more. I think you were fully prepared, but you could not have thought that I, Zhou Bao, have practiced the Vacuum-shattering Way. You could not have thought that I, Zhou Bao, have the Zhuyan bloodline. So, you lost!” As he was speaking, a large hand appeared and smashed the endless spacetime. It collapsed and from inside, the hand drew out a piece of spacetime about the size of an egg.
“Stop! Mercy!” Just as Zhou Bao started, a huge shadow of a whale loomed and it crashed into Zhou Bao with all its might. Unfortunately for the shadow, a layer of incredibly strange space appeared beside Zhou Bao, like a formless black hole. No matter how much the whale shadow tried, using all sorts of methods, it could not reach Zhou Bao.
Zhou Bao was not bothered about the whale shadow. This demonic cultivation was one of the ones that existed in antiquity times when he imported beings into Azure Heaven. It was quite powerful and it had some connection with Child-endowing Buddha. When he first encountered it, Zhou Bao was threatened by its power. But now that his power had far exceeded its own and Zhou Bao was in full control of Azure Big World, attacking Zhou Bao there would be just a pure fantasy.
But Zhou Bao did not want to attack it, because now the Qi of Decay had started to influence most of Azure Big World. Although this was a mighty demonic cultivation, it could not escape the wrath of the Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena. Rather than kill him there and then, he would torment him to death in the Dharma Ending Tribulation.
