Chapter 817: A Fierce Fight Against an Earthly Immortal (I)

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

Sneak attack! It was a sneak attack again! Launched by an Earthly Immortal!

Facing such a sneak attack, Zhou Bao was utterly indignant, because this was the third time he had to deal with a sneak raid from an Earthly Immortal.

Was this the typical attacking style of Earthly Immortals? Did they just prefer to stay in the dark and target others furtively?

Being attacked like this yet again, Zhou Bao refused to tolerate these kinds of nasty moves. His body wriggled and evaded the light, and suddenly a huge black hand rose to the sky and grabbed at the Void Universe.

This huge hand instantly ripped up layers of spaces and went straight for the unknown opponent.

“How audacious!”

A growl sounded from the depths of the Void Universe.

The opponent clearly didn’t expect that Zhou Bao would be so daring nor have the guts to mess around with an Earthly Immortal.

The growl then transformed into something substantial—a huge tornado, which swept towards the black hand. Meanwhile, the light that charged at the place between Zhou Bao’s eyebrows flashed and leaped towards him once again.

“Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle! Taihao Fairy Weapon Red Thunder Shuttle! It’s Emperor Hulong of Seven Mysteries World! What background does this guy have on earth? Even an Earthly Immortal emperor is after him!”

Based on the appearance of the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle and the growl, the onlookers figured out the identity of the one who made the first strike and these rendered them speechless.

The Seven Mysteries World was a powerful influence of the Holy Alliance. Emperor Hulong was one of the top nine Earthly Immortals of the Seven Mysteries World, who had not appeared in public for thousands of years. Today, he turned up unexpectedly and even launched a surprise attack at Zhou Bao, which was rather bewildering.

“Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle? How can you just send a simple Taihao Fairy Weapon to fight against me?” Seeing the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle hurtling towards him again, Zhou Bao merely gave a sneer. With a wave of his hand, a jet of purple light gleamed and dashed right into the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle.

“Clank!”

A loud clank could be heard from the Void Universe, telling Zhou Bao that the purple light had hit the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle. The Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle suddenly froze in the air, its brightness dimmed rapidly and it lost the power to advance forwards. At the same time, the practitioners who were watching the battle noticed to their surprise that the strange Taoist was holding a purple bamboo stick.

It was the gentle point of this bamboo stick that broke Emperor Hulong’s Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle just now.

Well, the battle was not over. The Taoist was apparently not satisfied with simply defeating the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle, so he pointed the purple bamboo stick at it again.

“Crack!”

The pointing gesture immediately reduced the Taihao Fairy Weapon, the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle, into dust!

After the purple bamboo stick had destroyed the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle, it relentlessly flung itself towards the Void Universe once Zhou Bao brandished it.

It pierced through the Void Universe and joined the black hand, flying in the direction of the unknown enemy.

A red light appeared and both the black huge hand and the purple bamboo stick hit the red light at the same time.

“Whir!”

In the depths of the Void Universe, boundless storms surged suddenly as if the place had turned into a tumultuous ocean. The three types of power produced by the three objects shattered the space into pieces. These three kinds of power were totally different. One of them was the power of Zhou Bao’s black hand. This was a poisonous hand, containing the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast. It corroded the entire space in which the rampant storms were wreaking havoc. The power of the purple bamboo stick was even eerier. It penetrated through layers of spaces and left a small hole in each of the solid walls of all those spaces as if they were made of thin paper.

These two kinds of power were Zhou Bao’s power. However, both the space-corroding power and the space-piercing power were blocked by the red light.

The red light rose and solidified the space that was raging violently, into a block of ice.

When the black hand touched it, the invincible corroding effect did not work. The space that was frozen by the red light only had a thin layer melted by the effect.

The purple bamboo stick, which had penetrated spaces and destroyed anything that came to it, only managed to create a tiny hole on the surface of the space frozen by the red light.

“Brat, you are courting death!”

It seemed that Emperor Hulong had gained the upper hand, but he also suffered a great loss because his Taihao Fairy Weapon, the Ingenious Red Thunder Shuttle, was destroyed by Zhou Bao. As one of the top nine emperors of the Seven Mysteries World and a prestigious Earthly Immortal, he had not experienced such a loss for thousands of years. Now, with Zhou Bao breaking his fairy weapon and persistently penetrating spaces to launch more attacks on him, his fury was thoroughly ignited.

Wild storms immediately broke out in the depths of the Void Universe. Immense pressure broke through the space and bore down on the area.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—”

Under the overbearing pressure, the pneuma in the surrounding space exploded. All the meteorites and caves that had been rented out were blasted into fine powder in an instant. Layers of space collapsed and were carried into the pressure, which bore down upon Zhou Bao.

But Zhou Bao cracked a grin. Facing the intimidating power of an Earthly Immortal, he did not show any traces of fear. This Emperor Hulong was pretty good, but his force was far below that of Vast Sea Emperor. Given that Zhou Bao had successfully fended off the Dark Blue Rage of Vast Sea Emperor, how could he be afraid of this Earthly Immortal called Hulong.

“Great move! However, with just Qi Power, how can you hurt me?” The purple light flashed in Zhou Bao’s hand, and the purple bamboo stick emerged again. “Emperor Hulong, I’m an Earthly Immortal. I can’t strike in the Void Universe. But now you sneak-attacked me; if I don’t teach you a lesson, you must think I’m someone you can easily bully!”

Zhou Bao snarled loudly. He rotated his purple bamboo stick and pointed it at the almost substantialized pressure.

“Pop!”

A soft noise could be heard and the huge pressure broke up.

This pressure was formed by the concentrated Spiritual Strength of Emperor Hulong, who had expected it to give Zhou Bao a hard blow. Of course, the Spiritual Strength was not so easy to break down. After Zhou Bao hit it, a violent spiritual storm sprang up and swept across the area. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao wheeled around and zoomed rapidly into layers of spaces to find the Real Body of the Emperor Hulong.

“Arrogant! This is outrageously arrogant!” Seeing Zhou Bao’s reaction, Emperor Hulong was furious. The Earthly Immortal was not allowed to strike in the Void Universe. That was why he had chosen to take on Zhou Bao with the previous means. But to his surprise, Zhou Bao easily dissolved his attacks and even flew into the spaces to chase his Real Body. Was Zhou Bao really seeking his death?

Emperor Hulong was both appalled and irritated. However, Zhou Bao throwing himself into these layers of spaces gave him a good opportunity. Due to the restriction of the Void Universe, previously, he was unable to cast or fully utilize his powers. But now, he could even cast out his macro world and wrap Zhou Bao in. If so, Zhou Bao would become a chunk of meat to be sliced by him. That was why he said Zhou Bao was too arrogant.

Was Zhou Bao really being too arrogant?

Well, only Zhou Bao knew the answer. After his phase rose to the level of the Five Qis Collecting in Mind, his strength had increased significantly. Given that he had successfully pulled through several tribulations just moments ago, his confidence had received a tremendous boost as well. Based on these factors, Zhou Bao believed his combat capability was definitely at the level of the Earthly Immortal. Before, he could barely reach this notch. But now, he was fully qualified to claim that his combat capability was as strong as an Earthly Immortal’s. In fact, he was just looking for someone to try out this powerful combat capability that he had newly acquired. Surprisingly, Emperor Hulong came to him on his own accord. Such being the case, he would be silly if he did not test his new powers!

Zhou Bao was highly confident about his strength, but this did not mean he was arrogant. On the contrary, he was quite cautious. The reason why he struck out in such a high-profile fashion was just that he was very familiar with the combating style of Earthly Immortals.

“I’m still new here. Just let the fight with this Emperor Hulong or whatsoever be an opportunity to display my power!” Zhou Bao thought. In an instant, he already traveled to the depths of spacetime.

“Emperor Hulong, stop hiding! Come out!” As he growled, he made one step forward. “You can’t fool me! I’ll find you!”

“Boom!”

In a nameless spacetime located in the depths of the Void Universe, a space that was originally in a secret place suddenly started trembling. In this space, a sturdy man with a long beard and straight hair abruptly altered his expression and widened his eyes. Then, an enormous foot stepped right into this mysterious space from the Void Universe. As it landed, this space instantly fell apart.

“Emperor Hulong, come out and battle with me!”

As the growl rang, another enormous foot stepped in and aimed straight for his head.

“Brat, how dare you!”

Yes, how daring of him! Stepping on the head of an Earthly Immortal emperor. What a crazy action! It was an utter provocation to an Earthly Immortal emperor! If this time the Emperor Hulong failed to beat Zhou Bao, in the days ahead, he would no longer have other Earthly Immortals’ respect.

“You dare to attack me, well, now I dare to kill you!” Zhou Bao bellowed in an extremely cold voice. Then, he stamped hard without any hesitation.

“Boom!”

He dropped his foot, but did not hit anything. As the boom sounded, the space where Emperor Hulong was hiding disintegrated.

“Whoosh!”

Almost at the same time, strong gusts of wind whirled around the surrounding spaces. A blast of fierce killing intent materialized and zoomed at Zhou Bao like a huge awl.

The Sky-piercing Awl!

As the Sky-piercing Awl rotated madly, the space turned into a maelstrom of high waves, storms, thunderbolts, raging fire, as well as freezing ice.

In a split second, the place where Zhou Bao was standing resembled hell. Numerous streams of power converged and united. Besides those terrifying powers, there was another kind of odd and obscure spatial fluctuation in this area.

Zhou Bao merely sneered. Watching all the powers closing on him like iron walls, he wielded the glowing, purple bamboo and thrust it out randomly!

“No matter where you came from, there is only one destination for me!”

“Clank!”

This thrust came so fast and so unexpected that even Emperor Hulong did not have time to react. In the next second, the tip of this purple bamboo stick pressed precisely against the spot between the eyebrows of Emperor Hulong.
