Chapter 883: Beating Back Fate, the Azure Heavens Attack
The Axe of Fate was formed from the Thunder of Fate. When the heavens and earth first began, the Thunder of Fate split open the World Tree. Then everything became chaotic. Because of this, the Axe of Fate was the nemesis of the World Tree and the Tree of Seven Wonders.
Zhou Bao used the Tree of Seven Wonders to block the attack of the Axe of Fate. Of course, they were not evenly matched. It was like smashing an egg against a rock. Zhou Bao’s power was increasing and had far exceeded that of the party mounting the secret attack. Therefore, when his Tree of Seven Wonders was cut down by the axe, people were sent flying, but were not seriously injured. They just suffered a big misfortune when they weren’t paying attention.
As the cryptic axe light came into view, the attackers revealed themselves.
“A woman!”
The attacker was female, an incredibly beautiful lady emitting a respectable spirit from head to toe. She wore a pale yellow imperial maid’s dress and in her hand, she held a small, moon-white axe. She went for Zhou Bao in a split second, hacking away at him with the axe.
“This girl is so fierce!” Seeing the axe coming at him, Zhou Bao bared his teeth. He knew right away who the attacker was: the Jade Emperor Princess. The same Jade Emperor Princess who killed the Tribulation Taker Ying Hu who had the Thunder of Fate Tribulation Divine Sense; but it now seemed that this Jade Emperor Princess had taken it.
“Little girl, none of your brothers could kill you. Are you going to kill me with just that axe? Well, then I’ll use this opportunity to kill you instead, seize the axe and then go and sort out your brothers!” As he was speaking, Zhou Bao retrieved his Tree of Seven Wonders that had been drifting through space.
Within moments, it appeared in front of the Jade Emperor Princess’ face and raised a fist.
The Jade Emperor’s omnipotent energy and Snake-like Breath Holding Skill matched the perfect insight of the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique’s addition and the New Jin Earthly Immortal Realm. This fist was said to have the most perfect strike and did not make any sound when it moved. Strangely, it seemed to appear out of nowhere and then disappeared again.
The Jade Emperor Princess was shocked. She did not consider that after Zhou Bao’s advance to the Earthly Immortal level, he was able to move so quickly and attack so viciously. Seeing the oncoming attack, she instinctively moved the axe to block off the attack.
Boom!
A huge boom resounded, but Zhou Bao stayed where he was. However, the Jade Emperor Princess was sent flying. In this first contest between the two, it turned out that one of them was now at a disadvantage. Zhou Bao naturally could not waste this opportunity. He went straight after her and activated his punching skill. He launched a series of attacks that the Jade Emperor Princess had no way of countering.
“Wham, wham, wham—!”
Zhou Bao’s fist continuously hit the moon-white axe and with every hit, the surrounding hollow was repeatedly smashed too. The Jade Emperor Princess retreated step by step and ended up being at the losing end. She showed no signs of giving up; all the power she had came from the moon-white axe in her hand.
“Roar—!” Zhou Bao attacked with a huge bellow that resounded all around the Immortal Realm. His body underwent strange changes as his joints and muscles started expanding. A terrible spirit emanated from his body and in seconds he had turned into a formidable ape, with a thousand feet tall body. The Jade Emperor Princess looked like a speck of dust under this ginormous ape. Facing the towering ape, she had nothing else to fall back on and went pale. Before she could think about what to do next, Zhou Bao reached for her with his enormous hand.
His hand blocked out the entire sky as it descended, as if the heavens were falling. In the approaching doomsday, he did not need a technique, nor Dharma power. All he needed was to push his enormous hand down with all his strength.
The sky changed color!
Of course, the Jade Emperor Princess would not just hang around awaiting her death. Seeing Zhou Bao’s hand coming down and the entire sky turning into a giant millstone coming to crush her, she grunted delicately and chopped at the hollow with the moon-white Axe of Fate. She cut a hole in the giant millstone and knew that even if she were to use the Axe of Fate, she could not inflict any harm on Zhou Bao, let alone gain anything from this battle.
But she wanted to go. Zhou Bao might let her have her wish, but that did not necessarily mean he would leave her behind in the imperial harem. But the empress’ Axe of Fate was the nemesis of the Tree of Seven Wonders and he was increasingly unable to let the Tree of Seven Wonders go. Leaving such a dangerous weapon in the hands of an enemy would not be good for him; in fact, it would be a walking time-bomb. So, even if he could not capture this Jade Emperor Princess today, he would have to get hold of her Axe of Fate.
Thinking about this, he made a tight fist with his other hand, ready to smash to pieces the hollow that had been ripped up by the axe.
Seeing the storm of fists raining down, the Empress grimaced. She did not move the axe in her hand, but suddenly a cold, fierce golden light appeared from her body.
Resplendent rays of golden light shone over everything, enveloping Zhou Bao’s towering Real Body of Zhuyan. An incredibly dignified spirit came bursting out from this light and emitted a willpower that called upon all present to show respect to it. Zhou Bao could not keep a complete hold of himself under the effect of this willpower and his enormous body trembled slightly, tenaciously withstanding the desire to serve it.
“It’s the Celestial Immortal Willpower!” In a second, the red gourd had breathed in the last of the Qi of Creation and now standing beside Zhou Bao, it enshrouded him with a burst of red light “No wonder she could kill Ying Hu. She must have with her a Celestial Immortal talisman! She has the Celestial Immortal striking power. Quick, get out of here!”
“A Celestial Immortal talisman, Celestial Immortal striking power?” Zhou Bao focused for a second. In his current situation and with his current strength, he was confident he could take a strike from a Celestial Immortal. But he was no fool. Even if he could withstand the power, he would inevitably be seriously injured. All he could do was try to survive. Facing the Jade Emperor Princess yielding her Axe of Fate, how would this not be asking for trouble? So, whether he wanted it or not, with the protection of the red gourd, he would not bother with the Axe of Fate for the moment. He steadied his enormous body and burst open the Immortal Realm sky. As his body flashed, it brought with it a gust of Wild Wind before it disappeared into the Immortal Realm. As he disappeared, in a split second, the golden light from the Jade Emperor Princess’ body condensed into a small point and swept over where he had just stood, tearing a hole in the Immortal Realm hollow.
“Zhou Bao, I cannot let you go!” The Jade Emperor Princess was ashen-faced, as the talisman glistening with golden light dimmed all of a sudden. It was the talisman her father had given her. It could be used three times in total, each time exerting the power of a Celestial Immortal. She had used it once on Ying Hu and had just used it a second time when she split open the space. Now, her talisman was left with the power for only one more strike.
However, used in the right place, this talisman would save her life at a crucial moment. But the strike did not hurt Zhou Bao at all and the Princess could not come to terms with it.
She did not critically injure Zhou Bao, which for her, was a waste of a strike. Now, there was only one chance left and she had to be more careful about how she would use it.
“Hmph! Zhou Bao, next time we meet, will be the day you die!” She directed her poisonous curse at the slowly closing gap where Zhou Bao had disappeared.
“That little lady is very vicious! She absolutely must not end up in my hands, otherwise I will make her do 180 poses before I destroy her!” After he had managed to escape from such a dangerous situation, Zhou Bao cursed her soundly.
“Boy, don’t be too hard on yourself. You have achieved the Earthly Immortal rank and you managed to escape from the attack of a Celestial Immortal and acquired the other two Immortal-killing Sword Qis. D*mnit, your luck is really great!”
“You’re right. It was a bit dangerous, but I gained a lot!” Thinking about his gains cheered him up. It was quite natural for him to obtain the two Sword Qis, but achieving the Earthly Immortal rank was just a happy accident. That was to say nothing of how he inexplicably comprehended the deepest Heaven and Earth Secret Techniques in the Seven Wonderful Techniques when he reached Earthly Immortal rank, which greatly increased the techniques’ power. It had endless clever uses and could even effortlessly block the Earthly Immortal Tribulation. In the future, all he needed to do was avoid running into the Axe of Fate that was specialized in restraining him and he would have nothing to fear.
Additionally, after he achieved Earthly Immortal status, he could strut around the Immortal Realm without having to worry about Emperor An attacking him. With his accumulation, he would not be as strong as the top ten Earthly Immortals, but it wouldn’t be too far off, either. Should they ever be caught unawares, he could even take advantage and cause them great harm.
Zhou Bao was confident in this because of his strength and because of his several fairy weapons.
The Qi of Creation had a great effect on fairy weapons as well as people. His Furnace of Immortality, his red gourd and his Supreme Fairy Weapon the Black Pearl, had all gained massive advantages, particularly Azure Big World in the Black Pearl. It became exceptionally perfect after it was influenced by the Qi of Creation. The Netherworld Heaven had been combined with Azure Big World, and in Azure Big World he had a complete reincarnation system which had even spawned the netherworld. Of course, Zhou Bao controlled this netherworld. The Pool of Thunder Tribulation had received the Crimson Thunder and the Qi of Fate, so it had a formidable power. After an Earthly Immortal Tribulation and a Qi of Creation, it could increase Zhou Bao’s power several times over. After today he could also be called an Emperor and he would be one of the strongest. If this had been in Heaven Realm World of antiquity times, he would have been as famous as the strongest emperors, like the Emperor of Moon Temple and the Thunder Emperor. He would have had supreme glory. But at the beginning of the Dharma Ending Tribulation, all this influence and all this glory would be completely meaningless. He needed strength and lucky chances to get through the tribulation, like the practitioners with the protection of the Tree of Seven Wonders and Crimson Thunder right now in Azure Big World!
“Um, I seem to have some problems!” Just when Zhou Bao thought about Azure Big World, his mind made a connection with it. In that moment, there was a strange voice and a bizarre spiritual force penetrating his spirit from inside Azure Big World.
A sorrowful voice echoed in his soul. “Be a good boy and go to hell!”
