Chapter 780: The Red Moon King

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

In the endless Void Universe, there were countless worlds, powers, and practitioners. This last group needed some entertainment aside from cultivation. After all, as well as from moral cultivation, the way of practice emphasized the cultivation of the mind, which was invariably demanding and required about a thousand years. Anyone’s character could become somewhat distorted by this, which could be harmful to the person, and could even be detrimental to their cultivation, ironically.

The Void Competition was a tool for all sorts of powers of the Void Universe to resolve their problems. It also allowed all the practitioners to vent their built up frustrations, and to remove the internal demons and afflictions that interfered in their way of practice. As time passed, a set of rules was developed, and its laws and significance grew until, finally, it came to resemble the sports matches of Zhou Bao’s previous life. They felt to be sacred and could not be broken. The hollow was endless, so almost every day a Void Competition occurred. Every competition attracted countless practitioners to observe and learn from what they saw. The rules were naturally very rigid.

Only, they were closely guarded among the practitioners. Although there were many practitioners in the Void Universe, very few could reach the Immortal state. There were also very few who were considered Human Immortals rather than mere Immortals. Most practitioners were only cultivated to the Ghost Immortal state, and so most of the Void Competitions in the hollow involved disputes between ghost men. If a dispute broke out between two Human Immortals it would look like one of the national sports competitions of the previous world, in the sense that it would attract the whole world’s attention. If it were Immortals, haha, then it would be akin to a continental sports competition like the Asian Games, and it would attract the attention of most of the Void Universe. And that was to say nothing of a competition that involved the newly emerged Heaven Realm World, which would naturally draw even more viewers.

At that time in South China, a lot of controversies were being caused by the several Immortals led by Red Moon King challenging King Wuyang of the Heaven Realm World. Soon, the place in the endless spacetime of the Heaven Realm World that was chosen for the Void Competition location was already packed with countless practitioners from the Heaven Realm World and other macro worlds as well. All powers of all different strengths came together to this one spot. They wanted to see the excitement and to witness the skills of both sides and try to take advantage of the opportunity to really explore for themselves. Zhou Bao did not like the Void Competition and considered it a monkey show. But seeing as he had been challenged according to the Void Universe rules, he had no choice but to go.

This spacetime was vast and empty, and many suspended stones appeared inside it. These suspended stones were about 3 miles wide at their smallest, and the bigger ones were as much as 300 miles. The neat thing was that their surface was smooth, and made a natural arena with even a nice viewing area.

By this time, the surface of the suspended stone was already packed with people, which had startled Zhou Bao at first. He never would have thought that there could have been so many practitioners in the Heaven Realm World.

The Void Competition had its own rules, but Zhou Bao was obviously not prepared to follow them completely. As a Human Emperor of the Heaven Realm World, Yan Yuntian was also expected to come. In fact, he had come to preside over the competition. The largest suspended stone in the hollow was used as the arena. It was several thousand kilometers wide and was thus perfect for the practitioners to fight.

Of all the surrounding suspended stones, the closest to the fighting stone represented the huge influences of the Heaven Realm World and the Void Universe.

And on these huge hanging stones stood dozens of Immortal grade practitioners. These men were all kings of South China, and the leader of these was wearing a red robe. Although he looked very grand, he had a faint feeling of breaking through the heavens and earth.

This was the Red Moon King who had provoked the battle.

In a glance, Zhou Bao confirmed that this was Red Moon King, the guy who started the Void Competition.

“Oh, I thought this Red Moon character would be a beautiful lady, turns out he was a dude. How disappointing!”

This lazy voice coupled with his tired and indolent look really made Zhou Bao look contemptuous.

The practitioners really had not expected Zhou Bao to turn up to battle with this attitude, and it really angered the Red Moon King.

He was at peak Immortal Stage, exercising his powers in South China. No one dared provoke him except a few Earthly Immortals who kept themselves hidden, and here in the Heaven Realm World, he was one of the most relevant men of South China. He was an important man with high status. Actually, with that social position, he shouldn’t have challenged Zhou Bao in the first place, but South China had their own interests in this duel. However, The Red Moon king had not expected Zhou Bao’s arrogance. Zhou Bao had just met him, and he was already spurting arrogant and disrespectful nonsense.

Because he was a famous practitioner in the Void Universe, he did not want to make a scene. He just looked Zhou Bao up and down coldly and said, “You are so arrogant, yet you are so inexperienced, boy.”

Zhou Bao shrugged and laughed. “Soon you will find out that I am not the experienced one!” Then before the Red Moon King could say anything, he turned to Yan Yuntian and asked, “Father-in-law, Your Excellency, can we begin? Or are there any more rules before I give him a beating?”

Yan Yuntian was gloomy, but he was relieved to see Zhou Bao so full of self-confidence. He would not be this arrogant if he was not full of confidence. He said, “There are not so many rules in the Void Competition, but before it begins, you should choose an opponent.”

“Choose an opponent?” He laughed, “It was the Red Moon King who challenged me!”

“Okay, the Red Moon King can come out to fight. Can all the other Royal Highnesses please vacate the arena?”

37 practitioners challenged Zhou Bao. Zhou Bao’s greatest advantage was to be able to choose whoever’s challenge he wanted. All of these peoples’ information had already been shown to Zhou Bao before he arrived. All of the big players of the Heaven Realm World were hoping that Zhou Bao would choose an opponent with a slightly weak cultivation. They did not realize that Zhou Bao would not listen to them. He chose the Red Moon King, and all their effort was wasted.

“Good, very good. As expected, he truly deserves to be called the first master of martial arts of the Heaven Realm World!”

“The first master of martial arts. You’re so flattering. The first master of martial arts in the Heaven Realm World is not facing up to facts in this boundless spacetime. At most, he is a thug.” He slowly walked up to the center of the suspended stone. “Red Moon King, stop speaking nonsense and start fighting!”

“Okay!” The Red Moon King was not a man who liked idle chat either. As soon as Zhou Bao appeared his words deeply offended him, so he did not want to let him get away. “I hear you like to use fists. Luckily, I also like them. Let me see how powerful your fists are, then!”

While speaking, he struck Zhou Bao right in the face with his own fist.

“Come on!”

Zhou Bou had not expected to meet someone who had a similar fist practice. His fist was quick and violent, with deep samadhi. The Red Moon King saw Zhou Bao’s eyes spark bright lights and felt a glint of victory. So, without hesitation, he punched him straight in the face again.

Thump!

Their fists met in the middle, and each opponent stepped back. But the 300-mile suspended stone underneath their feet was smashed to pieces with the first punch.

The two men did not mind that their fists had smashed the suspended stone. But the two Taoists’ figures flashed, there was much commotion in one place.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The sounds of the punches were continuous but became increasingly dull. In their first hit they shattered the suspended stone, and with their second hit, they shattered the entire space within thirty miles. Their third hit made the surrounding endless spacetime go out of phase, and it seemed like it could cause doomsday. But from the fourth hit onwards the punches got quieter. By the ninth hit, there was no sound at all, but the two men’s faces were more fierce and focused than ever. By the sixteenth punch it was like two normal people were hitting each other, and so each one stepped back.

“Well, I would never have thought that in this hollow there would be someone who could spar with me for 16 hits!” The Red Moon King shouted. “Okay, one more strike, then!” As he was speaking, a strange Qi Power came billowing from his body.

“Fist intent!”

Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes, and a familiar and slightly strange feeling came to him. The strange thing was not that this Red Moon King knew fist intent, it was that his fist intent had a connection to his own fist intent. Zhou Bao was astonished.

This was…

As the Red Moon King struck, Zhou Bao’s eyes went blurry, and the surrounding space started fluctuating. A blood-red moon flashed before his very eyes and started to push down on him.

Now, Zhou Bao was happy. It turned out the Red Moon King was practicing the Red Moon Fist Intent. Although he did not know much about this moon, he knew that in the macro world it was a celestial body of the endless spacetime like a satellite, nothing more. How could that match with his own shameless fist intent?

In the last few days, Zhou Bao had been doing closed-door training. He linked up all the things he saw when the Earthly Immortal Patriarch of the Eastern Thunder Sect traveled in the Void Universe, and his fist intent had changed. He was eager to try it out and seeing the incoming attack from the red moon fist intent, he went to meet it. “Okay, Red Moon Fist Intent, break open for me!”

Star!

The celestial bodies in the universe changed endlessly, and there was a boundless wonder. It was not easy to learn from each of these changes, and there was not much time. Zhou Bao naturally chose the most familiar to ponder and secretly refine. The stars, planets, and satellites were all things Zhou Bao had learned about in elementary school in his previous life, and they were the celestial bodies he was most in touch with. Zhou Bao had previously absorbed a small planet and refined it into his fist intent, and now his planet fist intent was very strong. But he thought that he didn’t need his fist to deal with this Red Moon King. This moon was only a satellite. Could it be that he could not use a planet to deal with him?

Not good!

The Red Moon King was not a mediocre fighter, and his fist intent was complete. If he had encountered Zhou Bao in the past, they might not have been a match for each other. But now Zhou Bao’s fist intent was greatly improved. With his strike, a black sun suddenly exploded, covering up the rays of the Red Moon and violently engulfing it.
