“Clap!”
A crisp voice sounded. Within a short distance, in this instance, the Tree of Seven Wonders crashed on Man Yujun’s head like an iron hammer falling to a watermelon.
All of a sudden, things that are muddled in red and white splashed everywhere. A SwordQi rushed towards the sky from his blood-red brain. But it was very different from the previous two SwordQi because it revealed the breath of the Natal Sword.
“Natal Sword?” Seeing that SwordQi, Zhou Bao curled up his lip and showed a cold smile. His Primordial Sword Spirit emerged and turned into a transparent Natal Sword which hit itself towards the SwordQi.
Woosh!
The SwordQi and the Natal Sword converged. Then, Man Yujun’s SwordQi was fought back. It was broken up again after it had just been condensed into a Natal Sword form. Fortunately, it did not dissipate.
“Zhou Bao, you can’t kill me!”
An eerie thing happened once more. The collapsing SwordQi started to fire with purple flame. Almost simultaneously, Zhou Bao felt something strange happening above his head. He raised his head and his eyes popped out.
“Divine Tribulation?”
“It’s not an ordinary one. It’s Earthly Immortal Tribulation. He triggered it!” Ghost Child gave a quick response. He suddenly shouted when he saw the tribulation cloud.
“What? He triggered Earthly Immortal Tribulation? How could he do it?” Zhou Bao was outrightly astounded. To him, even though Man Yujun’s had ability, he was however only at an Immortal level. He was still far from being an Earthly Immortal of Emperor.
It was not easy to be a competent Earthly Immortal, who was only a legend to practitioners and immortals. Taking Qing Feng and Ming Yue as examples, they only made a step forward in recent years through their past practice. Although capable Tribulation Takers like Zhou Bao could defeat Earthly Immortals and even kill them using formidable skills, they could not reach the Earthly Immortal realm.
Zhou Bao knew clearly about himself. He understood that even he had to take the step to do it himself, he had to spend at least hundreds of years practicing and developing a solid foundation before he can find the chance to feel his bottleneck and overcome it.
Man Yujun was no match for Zhou Bao in terms of combat capability in the realm. But now, he unexpectedly wanted to face the Earthly Immortal Tribulation that appears in front of him and still do so with a wild strike of his own. Is this possible?
“Hahahaha, Zhou Bao, you can’t kill me! You can’t make it! I am the Tribulation Taker, a real Tribulation Taker. I am the real person of God’s will and the Omnipotent Sage in this era!”
“Idiot!” said Zhou Bao, gazing at the Natal Sword which had been condensed again as if he saw a fool. “Don’t say whether you can get through it. Even if you succeed, you won’t defeat me!”
“Buddy, he’s doing the final struggle. Stop speaking nonsense to him and just kill him. He’s not useful anymore!”
“Final struggle?”
“Yes. His fate has come to a limit. Even though he had survived the Earthly Immortal Tribulation and became an Earthly Immortal, he has no more space to develop himself!”
“He will fail! That doesn’t upset me!” Zhou Bao closed his eyes slightly and gave a cruel smile. “Only now, I have a strange sort of feeling!”
“A strange feeling?”
“Since he has used up his fate, I can’t get his fate after I kill him, right?”
“Maybe so!”
“It’s not reasonable. The rule in the world is in conservation. People are paid accordingly. I should get the Tribulation Taker’s fate if I kill him. Will I get much more fate when I pay more energy? Now that he has burned his fate, why can’t I get his fate after I kill him?”
“What do you want to say?”
“Earthly Immortal Tribulation. Perhaps I can benefit from it even though I can’t get his fate!”
“You are—!” Ghost Child was shocked and thought of a possible idea.
“I’m going to undergo the tribulation. I will get my Earthly Immortal status with the help of his Earthly Immortal Tribulation!” Seeing the tribulation dropping from the sky, Zhou Bao’s eyes flashed a strange light. “I’m already the Immortal. Although I’m not at my peak, I’ve got a way leading to the Earthly Immortal. What I need is only the Earthly Immortal Tribulation. According to my cultivation, I have no idea when I can start it. However, now that he wants to start it here and he has fired his fate to form it, I can take this opportunity to start my tribulation. Does this work?”
“Not bad. It’s a good idea, but nobody has tried it!” After his consideration, Ghost Child agreed with Zhou Bao. Just as what he had said, nobody had ever tried this way, so he was not sure whether it would work.
“I don’t care whether it works or not. Just give it a try!” Zhou Bao pursed his lips. No matter whether he could make a success, he had a feeling that this tribulation would bring great benefits to him. Once he had succeeded, his strength would drastically increase even though he fails to become an Earthly Immortal. Moreover, someday should he face a strong Earthly Immortal like Yu An, he would not act as weakly as before. At least, escaping would not be a problem. Therefore, such a thought arose within him.
It seemed that a long conversation happened between Zhou Bao and Ghost Child. In fact, they talked to each other via divine thoughts, which only took place in an instant. At this very moment, the Earthly Immortal Tribulation arrived.
“Boom, boom, boom—!”
The thunder deafened the ear with its roar. The surrounding space strangely became viscous, which made Zhou Bao feel that he got stuck in the mud. Perhaps he could not clearly express his current state. To be exact, he had a feeling that he had suddenly fallen into a porridge-like world where he was walking. The most troublesome thing was that this world was teamed with inhibitions trying to seal his power.
That was the feature of Earthly Immortal Tribulation and also the most terrible one. People were not allowed to wield their whole power when they were experiencing this tribulation. Nevertheless, this tribulation was not aimed only at Zhou Bao, so the effect of this power was restricted and not absolute on him. At the same time, Man Yujun was in a much more miserable situation after he had been severely hurt by Zhou Bao. He had only a little bit of Natal Sword with him. The tribulation Dharma that he was suffering was hundreds of times stronger than what Zhou Bao had done. His face immediately turned extremely pale.
As the Tribulation Taker, both Zhou Bao and Man Yujun had not experienced too many difficulties and they were very confident individuals. They had not encountered any real danger. In other words, they had never been in life-threatening situations, so they did not know the feeling that life was vanishing. Every Tribulation Taker lacked such a feeling. The truth is that in the timeless span across history, when he had such a feeling, it was time for him to die, just like Man Yujun right now.
“It’s impossible. I won’t die. I’m the real Tribulation Taker, the final taker for the Dharma Ending Tribulation. How could I be killed by Zhou Bao. Natal Sword, break up the Divine Tribulation. Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!”
He cried hysterically. The Natal Sword gave off a little Light of Heaven and Earth. With the light, it condensed totally and transformed into a sword light which smashed the bounds around him.
“It’s the Qi of heaven and earth, Qi of Merit. He’s finished!” Seeing the Qi of heaven and earth fired towards Man Yujun’s Natal Sword, Ghost Child was not surprised. His words revealed his cold indifference.
Indeed, Man Yujun was totally unconcerned. Having just run out of his fate to trigger the Earthly Immortal tribulation and also the Merit Qi of heaven and earth, he had now come to his end. He had no chance to revert back to his previous state. Now, it was Zhou Bao’s time.
Zhou Bao immediately shot back!
He did not want to wait any longer and just wanted to get through this tribulation as soon as possible. Besides, he wanted a complete tribulation. The more tribulations he underwent, the more benefits he would get. That was known to the world. The difference between that one person who underwent it and that two persons who did it was obvious. How could Zhou Bao be willing to let Man Yujun ruin his plan and share his benefits?
A light suddenly flashed before them. The Tree of Seven Wonders in Zhou Bao hands were send off radiance which covered him. The Law of Heaven and Earth which had just fettered him also disappeared in a second. They were hardly anything to that radiance.
Whilst the radiance flashed, Zhou Bao rushed towards and hit the Natal Sword, which had just been successfully formed and condensed.
“Clap!”
The Natal Sword, having just formed, was cracked again. Man Yujun had no more energy to fight back. The broken Natal Sword crumbled into countless dust and then transformed into Man Yujun’s appearance with a sad and bitter face.
“Zhou Bao, I curse you…I curse you to die a violent death, I curse you—!”
“Noise!” Zhou Bao’s eyes were cold. His Tree of Seven Wonders stroked at him again. Man Yujun, who had been condensed by dust, completely disappeared and died. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao’s other hand had formed a fist and punched upwards.
“Boom!”
His fist just hit a falling golden planet that had fallen from the sky.
The loud booming noise shattered the space around him. His face changed and his body suddenly convulsed. He felt that his qi and blood was flowing wildly. The metallic planet also crushed into pieces.
“Shit! It’s so fierce!” He was also astonished when he felt his qi and blood surging. It was merely the beginning, but it was so ferocious. He could not imagine the force of the Earthly Immortal Tribulation. Certainly, that was not Zhou Bao’s main worry. He had already killed Man Yujun but he did not know whether his tribulation would also disappear.
The fact proved that it would not. After he cracked the first metallic planet, the Divine Tribulations appeared one by one as if they were crazy. However, they did not drop to the ground. They stayed in the sky and were condensing. Their force was much more powerful than the one when he underwent the Immortal Tribulation. As the thunder and light were condensing, the destructive spirit had fallen off. And the metallic planets, metallic hills and even the metallic sea crash slammed down.
At this moment, Zhou Bao did not dare to catch them. Instead, he used his Tree of Seven Wonders, shimmering and raging in the sea of tribulation, like a small boat.
