All of Zhou Bao’s enemies had to come to terms with an indisputable fact.
That is, if Zhou Bao wanted to leave, no one could stop him. He had not reached Lord of Heaven Realm and could only rely on his strength to completely understand the Law of Space. Nevertheless, he still understood the Ways of Space in the 3,000 Great Ways, and that was the Great Way of Heavens and Realms. It was impossible for those below the Lord of Heaven Realm to understand anything spatial. Hence, apart from those who could exceed Zhou Bao in his understanding of the Law of Space, they would be powerless to stop him.
Senior Grand Tutor Hong was very strong, his Self-world was beyond perfect. However, his understanding was not better. Hence, when Zhou Bao hid in the hollow, he had no idea what to do.
On other occasions, defeat would have been inevitable. Sliding into hollow was not something to be praised. On the contrary, it showed helplessness. But in this specific situation, Zhou Bao’s move was deemed as acceptable and extremely comforting.
Yes, comfortable, pleasant!
You two from Lord of Heaven Realm are surrounding a Level Nine, were you not intending to let him hide for a while?
Just like that, Senior Grand Tutor Hong had no idea what to do.
“Zhou Bao, why are you hiding? Come and fight for real, are you scared?!”Senior Grand Tutor Hong had lost all his manners. He was bad-tempered and shouted loudly. His surrounding heaven and earth vibrated and swept through the hollow as if he wanted to ferret Zhou Bao out. Despite his attempts, he could not locate Zhou Bao’s exact position.
After repeated tries, Senior Grand Tutor Hong gave up his search. With his Self-world protecting him, he said to Chen Jinzhong, “Old Zhong, look at the situation now. It is Zhou Bao who is hiding from me, do I have to wait for him?!”
“This-!” Chen Jinzhong was hesitant. Although Zhou Bao’s move made him feel good, in such a situation, as a host, he could not just let things be. He could not let Senior Grand Tutor Hong wait, right?
“Who said I’m hiding from you? I’m just looking for a weapon to defeat you!” While Chen Jinzhong contemplated his dilemma, Zhou Bao’s voice rang in the crowd.
“Eh?”
“What happened?”
“What is this force of oppression?!”
“What is this?!”
“No way, what is this force, why is it crumbling the space?!”
“…”
“…”
Just as Zhou Bao’s voice rang in the air, a huge pressure arose. A huge canopy crumbled the space and went in the direction of the puppet.
It was the Flipping Sky Seal!
Zhou Bao had once again chosen to display the Flipping Sky Seal.
Just now, he used Poison Cold Shield to absorb Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, but its poisonous nature had been unexpected. Poison Cold Shield had been unable to refine even the Poison-absorbing Green Bead. He had used Flipping Sky Seal to repress it in his Dantian. Hence, he could not use his Flipping Sky Seal and Poison Cold Shield.
But just now, he had made use of the sandwiched-opportunity to return to the hollow and directly went into the Supreme Fairy Weapons. He activated the Wheel of Time and accelerated the time in Sea of Divine Power. Half a year had elapsed for him, in what was a short moment in reality.
This was way beyond Zhou Bao’s expectations. He definitely did not think that just cultivating the Elixir of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast would take up three whole months. He then took another half a month to completely infuse it with Poison Cold Shield. The core of Poison Cold Shield, Poison-absorbing Green Bead, collapsed due to its inability to withstand the poison from Nine-headed Fierce Beast.
Luckily, there were some old Grand Demons in the Supreme Fairy Weapons. For example, there was Jing XIII the Humpback Whale. When Zhou Bao was desperate, it gave the most accurate advice, helping him to successfully refine the Poison Cold Shield.
It was also at that time that Zhou Bao finally understood the power of Nine-headed Fierce Beast.
Nine-headed Fierce Beast was an upper position Primordial Fierce Beast and its poison dominated the world!
Just like Zhuyan, Nine-headed Fierce Beast was an upper Primordial Fierce Beast. It was the ruler of primitive times. The splitting of levels among the primitive Fierce Beasts was very strict. To be exact, there were only six types of upper Primordial Fierce Beasts among the countless number of Primordial Fierce Beasts. They were called the Six Royals.
Zhuyan and Nine-headed Fierce Beast were two of them. The Primitive Dragon Chimera that Zhou Bao got in the past was strictly speaking a middle Primordial Fierce Beast. Although it was powerful, it had several shortcomings.
Zhuyan was the best in both strength and body and was called the strongest in primitive times. Whereas for Nine-headed Fierce Beast, it was known for its poison and to be capable of poisoning anything.
A real Nine-headed Fierce Beast that had released its toxin could let it spread far and long. Even Innate Deity and Primordial Demon could be poisoned to death. It could pollute the time and space of a macro world and turn it into a death zone.
Zhou Bao did not know where King Liuli had obtained the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast or how he had refined it into his body. Although not pure, the correct way of refining had been used. Apart from Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, he had also refined other strange poisons and refined this ball of black Qi. Even though other strange poisons may not be comparable to the elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, but they were still the top-notch poisons in the present world. While the poisons were not pure, together with the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, their combined strength was overwhelming.
While Poison-absorbing Green Bead was known to be the most poisonous one on earth, there was still a limit to everything. It was able to out-poison almost every other poison out there except for Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, which was known to be incurable in primitive times. Luckily, in that black smoke, that of the elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast was only a strand. If not, if all of them were of Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, King Liuli would not have been about to reign it in and it would have been enough to kill 99% of the people there. That is, only Yu Taixu and Zhou Bao would have chances of surviving while the rest would perish.
However, even if it was just one strand, Zhou Bao may not be able to take it completely. When Jing XIII saw this, he was in great shock. It taught Zhou Bao the way to refine a devil fairy weapon, Archaic Black Flag. Of course, Zhou Bao would not be able to refine it just by relying on a bit of Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast and Poison Cold Shield. He could only make a replica of it, the upper Pure Yang Celestial Device Archaic Poisonous Flag, which had the nickname Infinite Poison Banner.
Jing XIII was only so generous because he knew that Zhou Bao would not be able to refine the Archaic Black Flag. From his point of view, if Zhou Bao was lucky, he would only be able to refine a lower class Infinite Poison Banner. After all, even in the Azure Big World, there was a limit to Pure Yang Qi. Unexpectedly, while Zhou Bao was not able to refine the fairy weapon, it produced an upper Pure Yang Celestial Device very easily. It was a talisman formation set up by three talismans. It reflected the ferocity from primitive times. Jing XIII’s heart beat very fast when he saw what was going on.
After refining the Infinite Poison Banner, Zhou Bao naturally did not waste any more time. He had raised the Wheel of Time to the maximum level where he could still exert control. In the present world, he should be fighting with someone else. If he was gone for too long and others thought that he had escaped, he would lose more. Since he had already come so far, he would not give up half-way. Hence, after refining the Infinite Poison Banner, he opened the hollow and returned to the present world. He heard Senior Grand Tutor Hong shouting. Since his Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast had been refined, his Flipping Sky Seal automatically was released. Without further ado, it lifted up the seal and smashed onto the golden puppet very harshly.
That golden puppet saw the Flipping Sky Seal coming for it and gave a low growl before punching it.
Boom! Its fist met with the Flipping Sky Seal. The seal stopped momentarily before smashing down again. The golden puppet became shorter as it was pressed down by the Flipping Sky Deal. It could not move.
“Senior Grand Tutor Hong, now, it is only the two of us, is it time to get intimate?!”
Seeing the Flipping Sky Seal trapping the golden puppet, Zhou Bao laughed. Without waiting for an answer, he pointed and a green light shot towards Senior Grand Tutor Hong.
“Hmm!” Seeing that green light, Senior Grand Tutor Hong laughed coldly. He swung the robe he was wearing and brought his Self-world to protect him. He plunged towards Zhou Bao, with no intention to dodge the light.
Seeing this move, Zhou Bao smiled.
That smile was so bright and so unfathomable. Just when everyone was still trying to process what just happened, Senior Grand Tutor Hong suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. He let out a piercing and furious scream. His body fell from mid-air into Turtle Back Mountain.
Now, everyone was shocked. They did not expect Senior Grand Tutor Hong to have a situation so soon after Zhou Bao came back.
Zhou Bao would obviously not let this opportunity slip past. He understood the Poisonous Hitching Post too well. It could create wonderful effects, but not for long. Its greatest benefit was that it could create an opportunity to kill for Zhou Bao. Now was the time.
His body flashed and Zhou Bao reappeared where Senior Grand Tutor Hong had landed. His big hand was aiming towards him harshly. At the point in time, Senior Grand Tutor Hong was in an excruciating pain. But, he was an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven after all. His instinct told him there was imminent danger. He clenched his jaw and used all his energy to activate his already-perfect Self-world. It formed a layer of purple light around his body. Its space and time became one in just a split second and formed a body that looked like purple crystal.
“World-solidifying Skill, is he crazy? His phase will fall below Lord of Heaven!” Seeing the purple crystal, the crowd was shocked.
Even Yu Taixu stood up in shock.
This unifying of the space and time in Self-world and forming a layer of solid crystal was the last resort of Lord of Heaven. It was called World-solidifying Skill. It was known to be the strongest defense among those below Human Immortal. It was indestructible too. However, the price paid for this was huge too. It was redeemed using Self-world. After using it once, the Self-world will self-destruct and the Lord’s phase will drop to below Lord of Heaven. Recovering his cultivation would be more difficult than for those who had naturally worked their way up. It was known as a Lord of Heaven’s last resort to save himself. Some in Lord of Heaven did not want to use this even when they were faced with death.
But Senior Grand Tutor Hong used it today.
That also meant that he had lost!
