In the Infinite Star Sea Area.
Starlight could be seen all over the sky.
In an isolated galaxy, a giant planet revolved around the sun, following a course that had not changed at all since ancient times. Around this planet was a ring of meteorites which formed a circular meteorite belt. Numerous meteorites, large and small, were flying rapidly in the void, forming a sea of meteorites. There was a black meteorite with a diameter of about 10,000 feet in the sea. Mixed together in the meteorite piles, it looked quite inconspicuous. Like all other meteorites, it was bathed in starlight.
All of a sudden, the ordinary looking meteorite which had been flying rapidly, exploded. It was blasted from the inside by a huge force. With a loud noise, debris flew in all directions and half of the meteorite was blown apart in an instant.
Two figures emerged from that meteorite and walked through the meteorite belt. They looked like two tiny ants, looking around from left to right, and seemed very embarrassed.
Finally, after dashing through the mass, the two men found a huge meteorite which flew relatively smoothly and made their landing.
The two men were Zhou Bao and Xiao Sheng, who had been sent by the Transmitting Formation in the Three Western Regions.
They managed to get through successfully via the Transmitting Formation. However, it was obvious that the Transmitting Formation had been affected when Zhou Bao fought with the red-robed Lord of Heaven. Although they got there, some problems had occurred during the transmission process, due to the fierce energy collision and space storm. Thus, they were not sent to the correct Transmitting Formation. On the contrary, they had landed in the center of a meteorite. Fortunately, Zhou Bao and Xiao Sheng were both practitioners of the Level of True Immortality, otherwise, they would have suffocated in the meteorite. Even so, the two of them were greatly shocked.
“Where is this place? Is it the Infinite Star Sea?” Seeing the soft starlight around him, Xiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was asking, the iconic starlight around him had already given him the answer.
“This is indeed the Infinite Star Sea, however, we may have gone off the track a little!” Zhou Bao took out the Void Map to check it against the surrounding environment, and there was nothing he could do except to give a wry smile.
“Why, what’s wrong with that?”
“This is not the place where the Transmitting Formation in the Three Western Regions was supposed to send us to. We have been sent to the other side of the Infinite Star Sea!” said Zhou Bao. He withdrew the Void Map and stood up. At the same time, he raised his hand and then, the Silver Spirit Flying Vehicle appeared in front of them.
“We need to go to the nearest Star Area which is inhabited and ask for information there. Now that the Devil Fetus has been born in the Infinite Star Sea Area, so there will be a mix of good people and scumbags. As long as we are careful enough, no one will find out about us!” Zhou Bao said in a confident tone.
“Fine, then everything will be at King Wuyang’s disposal!”
“Haha, don’t call me king here. Just call me Zhou Bao, please!” Zhou Bao smiled and led him onto the Silver Spirit Flying Vehicle.
The Silver Spirit Flying Vehicle sailed off, leaving a silvery trail behind and disappeared into the vast starry sky.
The Silver Spirit Flying Vehicle was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, and it had its own space inside. Although it was inferior to Zhou Bao’s Supreme Fairy Weapon, the space inside it was quite huge.
After entering the Silver Spirit Flying Vehicle, Xiao Sheng wanted to talk to Zhou Bao, to get some basic information about the Infinite Star Sea. But unexpectedly, he heard Zhou Bao say, “This area is very remote. Even if I have a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, it will still take me several days to reach the nearest animate planet. I will take this opportunity to digest the experience I have just gone through when I fought with that red-robed man. Brother Xiao, please make yourself at home!” After he finished speaking, Zhou Bao disappeared into a thin mist, making it awkward for Xiao Sheng to say anything more.
Of course, Zhou Bao was not looking for an excuse to ignore Xiao Sheng. What he had told him was indeed true.
In the fight with the red-robed man, Zhou Bao had exerted the extreme powers of the Bronze Scepter and the Fiery Eye. At the same time, during the process of manipulation, he repeatedly displayed Arthur Divine Tribe’s light skills. All this gave him a good understanding of the fighting methods and application of the power of some ancient deities.
Before the fight, Zhou Bao had received only scanty information through the Bronze Scepter, which was a completely different concept from total mastery of its skills. Meanwhile, during the battle, his repeated launching of the divine light skills had brought about a wonderful change in the Golden Dharma Power of the Innate Deity contained in his body; it started to merge with the Bronze Scepter in his hand.
The Golden Dharma Power came from the Innate Deities, while the Bronze Scepter was the divine device of the ancient deities. The ancient deities were the descendants of the Innate Deities. Their power, to a large extent, was borrowed from the power of the Innate Deities. Therefore, the Golden Dharma Power and the power of the Bronze Scepter were barely a match. Of course, his Mysterious Divine Light could also make use of the Golden Dharma Power. The fact was that the Primordial Fierce Beasts and the Innate Deities were both powerful creatures in the primitive times. However, as the most ferocious beast among all the Primordial Fierce Beasts, Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan was also one of the most powerful Six Royals. Therefore, in a sense, Zhuyan was even higher in rank than the Innate Deity Zhou Bao had encountered. Hence, it was not appropriate to refine the Golden Dharma Power with the Mysterious Divine Light. However, the power of the ancient deities, inherited from the Innate Deities, gradually merged with the Golden Dharma Power.
As a matter of fact, after the previous battle, the Golden Dharma Power that had been trapped in Zhou Bao’s body had already been used up. All the Golden Dharma Power had been injected into the scepter and integrated with the latter, like two passionate lovers. It seemed that there was no possibility for the Golden Dharma Power to leave the scepter and return to Zhou Bao’s body. As for the huge Dantian composed of nine acupoints, it had now become the residence of the Mysterious Divine Light. But it was a pity that the quantity of the Mysterious Divine Light was much less than that of the Golden Dharma Power. Thus, it could only turn into a light mist which dwelled in the Dantian.
Zhou Bao was very satisfied with the reaction of the scepter to the Golden Dharma Power. He clearly knew that if it were not for the support of the Golden Dharma Power, he could never have been so relaxed during the battle with the red-robed Lord of Heaven. However, the battle was over and it was time to analyze the outcome. Moreover, the scepter had undergone some strange changes after the battle, thus, Zhou Bao needed to have a detailed understanding of it.
He was obliged to know more about it because the Bronze Scepter was showing signs of instability at this moment. Given the knowledge and memory Zhou Bao had obtained from ancient deities, this sign seemed to mean that the Bronze Scepter was going through an upgrade.
This was a divine device of Low Rank of Bronze. Now, it seemed that it would be advanced to Middle Rank of Bronze. Once it succeeded, its power would definitely be doubled or even tripled.
Coincidently, they were sent to this place that would take some time for them to arrive at the inhabited Star Area, in the Infinite Star Sea. Zhou Bao would make good use of this period of time to enhance his own strength.
Therefore, after Xiao Sheng had settled down, Zhou Bao entered directly into the Sea of Divine Power, took out the scepter and shot his divine thoughts into it.
The Fiery Eye atop the scepter had become a bit dim. Obviously, it had been affected by the Emperor Wheel Fiery Eyes and had not recovered yet.
“The Emperor Wheel Fiery Eyes are indeed powerful. If I haven’t broken open his domain in time, I’m afraid that my Fiery Eyes would have turned up. It’s really dangerous!” Zhou Bao’s heart was full of shame when he thought of the pulse that his Fiery Eyes experienced when the red-robed man had launched his Fiery Eyes domain.
The Emperor Wheel Fiery Eyes and Thorn Wheel Fiery Eyes were the two strongest types of Fiery Eyes. They were of equal strength with each other in nature, but the cultivations of their owners varied. The red-robed man obviously knew the strength of his Fiery Eyes very well and had mastered them completely. In contrast, Zhou Bao restrained the power of his Fiery Eyes all the time. For a long time, he did not rely on the Fiery Eyes in any battle because he was afraid that he would reveal his flaws. As a result, his control of the Fiery Eyes was certainly not as good as that of the red-robed man.
Although the Fiery Eyes were mighty, if he were to rely too much on them, it may bring him trouble instead. Furthermore, he didn’t want to rely too much on any power that would bring trouble to him.
At this moment, a large amount of Golden Dharma Power was surging within the Bronze Scepter. The patterns on the scepter kept twinkling. When the Golden Dharma Power touched a certain point, the corresponding pattern would light up, glittering in a strange way.
The Golden Dharma Power was merging with the Bronze Scepter, but this kind of merging was incomplete. It was very much like the situation Zhou Bao encountered when he received the Golden Dharma Power for the first time. His body could not absorb such an enormous amount of power at that time, so the Golden Dharma Power could only be stored temporarily inside his body. The information that was transmitted to him together with the Golden Dharma Power was also stored in the depths of his soul.
Zhou Bao had never been able to understand that ancient information.
Now that he had the Bronze Scepter in his possession and had this divine device completely refined, he understood only a small part of the information. It was merely a Divine Sense, or just a divine skill. But this divine skill alone, was undoubtedly a great bonus for Zhou Bao.
Due to this divine skill, he had an understanding of the operating methods and principles of the divine skills of the ancient deities. Thus, he was able to apply it quickly and exert the full power of the Bronze Scepter.
“Unfortunately, with my current strength, I still can’t use that divine skill, otherwise, I can kill the two guys at one go and seize their fairy weapons!” Zhou Bao secretly felt sorry about that matter in his heart. At this time, within the scepter, the surging Dharma power had reached a limit and the entire scepter started to vibrate. Zhou Bao projected his mind into the scepter to look at the fusion of the Golden Dharma Power and the scepter’s own strength. Some of the materials that made up the scepter had been shattered, refined, and reshuffled, and during this time, strange messages had been transmitted to Zhou Bao’s spirit. His hands quickly made a series of Incantation Gestures. All of a sudden, the space between his eyebrows flickered and a black light shot out of it, turning into a vicious Dragon Chimera about the size of a finger. Facing the Bronze Scepter, it suddenly spat out a mouthful of black flame and sprayed it directly onto the Bronze Scepter. The Bronze Scepter seemed to melt instantly. Rays of dazzling light shone on it and it began to change. Finally, the talismans on its surface slowly rearranged themselves and disappeared. After a few seconds, these talismans melted and transformed into fine lines which appeared on the scepter. At the same time, the color and thickness of the scepter also changed. After several hours, it slowly took the shape of a Green Bamboo Stick.
