Don't look at his eyes; one glare from him crumbled the golden wall that blocked hundreds of Venerable Realm Genuine Immortals from approaching. It might have seemed very impressive, but in reality, his suffering was unspeakable.
The copy of the Golden Book of Fate had been offered as a sacrifice, and it was necessary to control it. The reality was way too odd. The moment when all the Demonic Immortals and Evil Beasts charged into the Ying and Yang Illusionary Formation was just right. It was such an opportune moment that Zhou Bao could not respond in time.
If it were not for the fact that he was a Lord of Heaven Realm Genuine Immortal, the Demonic Immortals would have charged in.
”They're still not coming out! Block them!”
Yu Taicang shouted in anger. With a wave of his hand, rays of piercing golden light glowed from the copy of the Golden Book of Fate. The way the golden light filled the Ying and Yang Illusionary Formation was as smooth as flowing water.
With Yu Taicang's rage, nine shadows suddenly emerged from the shadows. All of them were surprisingly Genuine Immortals from the Venerable Realm. The one with the highest cultivation was even a Four-tribulation True Immortal, no different from Master Jin Hua and Lan Shui'er.
These nine people charged out; and with no intention of being polite, they each wielded a Pure Yang Celestial Device in their hands and furiously charged at the blue-robed man who they targetted.
”Good time to come!” Seeing the nine Demonic Immortals charging towards him, the blue-robed man was not alarmed. In fact, he was delighted. His two enormous fist fluttered up and down in the air before ramming them directly into the nine Venerable Realm Genuine Immortals, fighting them in melee combat.
”Don't fight with him in melee. Stop!” One of the nine Genuine Immortals shouted, and the shadows of the nine Immortals fluttered. Their nine Pure Yang Celestial Devices rose up in the air, emanating dazzling rays of light that reflected from each other, resulting in a formation in the end.
Nine Heavens Demon-subduing Formation
Once the formation was in place, the blue-robed man felt a formless pressure that rushed towards him. The intense Pure Yang Qi carried a threatening force that helped to encircle and suppress their opponent.
”Defend!” The man did not struggle to escape by brute force; he only sputtered out the word ”defend”.
In reality, if he really wanted to battle by brute force, relying solely on the Nine Heavens Demon-subduing Formation was not enough for the nine Genuine Immortals to defeat them. However, he was only here as a sidekick. His main purpose was to create attacking opportunities for Zhou Bao and not to battle with them. If he fought them with brute force, his team might have won. But even if they won, it would come at a bloody price. They might as well defend properly. Since Zhou Bao had already obtained the essence of the Origin of the Great Ways, he naturally would have means to defeat the Lord of Heaven Realm's Genuine Immortals. If he could not defeat them, it would be fruitless to talk about controlling the Azure Heaven.
eeing that the blue-robed man had been captured by the Divine Wind Palace, Zhou Bao also started to act.
Once Yu Taicang threw out his copy of the Golden Book of Fate, its golden light emanated in all directions. The same property found in Zhou Bao's Origin of the Great Ways was therefore activated.
Zhou Bao had already seized and cultivated the essence of the Origin of the Great Ways. Hence, he was extremely sensitive to any changes in the Origin of the Great Ways.
”Okay, there is already a connection between the two. Then, let's start!” Zhou Bao thought to himself. He rolled his eyes and they turned blood-red. At the regions surrounding his eyes, a layer of black lines transformed into a circle of weird thorns. A strange power akin to sea waves spread in all four directions, and Zhou Bao shouted abruptly. With Zhou Bao's scream, two rays of red light beamed from his two eyes and focused on the Golden Book of Fate.
”Fiery Eyes?!” Yu Taicang, who was operating his copy of the Golden Book of Fate with full concentration, appeared nervous. The book that was firmly under his control had now become extremely hard to control under the power of the mysterious Fiery Eyes.
”Damn it!” Yu Taicang swore. He would never have thought that a guy with Fiery Eyes would appear in Azure Heaven.
”Could it be that the Fiery Eyes species is flourishing again?” He swore secretly to himself. His Genuine Immortal spiritual mind sensed that something was not quite right. He was starting to lose control of the situation. Even though he still had full confidence in himself, he broke a Jade Talisman, which had always been hidden in his sleeve, just to be safe.
The Jade Talisman in Yu Taicang's hands was used to send an emergency message to the Divine Wind Palace. It contained some kind of divine thoughts. One only needed to break the Jade Talisman and the wave of divine thoughts would break open any hollow and send it to the Divine Wind Palace. The transmission speed was incredibly fast and its mode of transmission was also secretive. No average man could stop it.
If the Essential Qi Tide were at play, Zhou Bao would not have been able to detect such a minute vibration in space. But now, in the Yin and Yang Illusionary Formation—no, it should be called the Yin and Yang Dust Formation; and under the Qi Talisman's operation, Zhou Bao's spiritual mind was able to detect this vibration even though it was very tiny.
Zhou Bao was a cautious man. He had never once suspected the Divine Wind Palace's power. In the Dragon-taming Ruins, that big hand that rose out of nowhere could still strike fear into him up till today. If he were facing that big hand with his current strength, Zhou Bao thought to himself that he could activate the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, and then perhaps there was a chance that they would both die together. He did not know who that hand belonged to, but he knew that it was not something that he could defeat.
And now he knew that that big hand was the Void-catching Technique, which was an effect of cultivating the Innate Qi Catching Skill to the highest realm.
The Void-catching Technique could break through numerous voids and arrive at the Dragon-taming Ruins to stir trouble for itself. Therefore there must have been a way to enter the Azure Secret Area. This was also the reason for Zhou Bao's apprehension. For such a big sect like the Divine Wind Palace, there were tens of thousands of accumulated skills that a small fella like him could never fully imagine. If an incident occurs at the Azure Secret Area, sending news out was not impossible. Therefore, Zhou Bao had always been on guard. Now that he had detected a minute spiritual vibration in space, a smile flashed across Zhou Bao's face.
Almost at the same moment as the minute vibrations were felt, Zhou Bao reached out his hand, and it disappeared and traveled through space.
