594 ... (1/2)

A total of 10,000 black Fire Dragons gathered into a formation, besieging the North Pole Frozen Wheel and Ye Qingtian. Tongues of fire spurted from the mouths of the Fire Dragons and wrapped themselves around the North Pole Frozen Wheel, gradually refining this Taihao Fairy Weapon.

Ye Qingtian's face paled. He sat cross-legged in the hollow under the North Pole Frozen Wheel. As the faint blue light of the North Pole Frozen Wheel started fading bit by bit, his expression grew more and more nervous.

”Don't look so tense. Ye Qingtian, I won't kill you!” Zhou Bao's figure flashed, the Real Body of Primordial Demonic Ape disappeared, and he changed back to the green-robed man again. Clutching a Green Bamboo Stick in one hand, Zhou Bao strolled to his Second Primordial Spirit. He smiled, and the Second Primordial Spirit transformed into a jet of black light and leaped into the place between his eyebrows.

”What on earth do you want?” Although the Second Primordial Spirit had been withdrawn by Zhou Bao, the Sky-burning Dragon Formation and the Furnace of Immortality were still there, functioning at a slower speed but still imposing a full suppression upon the North Pole Frozen Wheel. Ye Qingtian could not move a muscle. When he saw Zhou Bao reducing Qi Miaoyi, the young master of the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, to ashes, he was totally shocked. His heart brimmed with desperation, and he had even considered blowing up the North Pole Frozen Wheel so that he would perish together with Zhou Bao. But when he heard that Zhou Bao was not going to kill him, he abandoned the idea.

Even small ants would try all means to survive, let alone a human being. As a prodigy for cultivation, Ye Qingtian had encountered precious good luck in order to achieve such a high level at his age. Thus, how could he be willing to die for nothing on this desolated Star Area billions of miles away from his hometown?

Zhou Bao did not give in to his momentary frustration to kill Ye Qingtian. Instead, he said, ”The reason why I won't kill you is, of course, not that I favor you, but because of your boss—that man in the scarlet robe. You go back and tell him Divine Wind Palace is not that easy to deal with, but I'd like to cooperate with him. We can jointly take on Divine Wind Palace with each other's help!” After his speech, Zhou Bao took out a little box from his clothes and went on, ”The thing in this box is something I obtained by accident. You deliver this to him as a token of my sincerity for this cooperation. But, if he is unwilling to cooperate, then I am afraid we will have to stay as enemies!”

After saying all this, Zhou Bao lifted a hand and took his Furnace of Immortality away. The formation constituted by 10,000 Fire Dragons also disbanded on their own accord. Black Fire Dragons turned into countless fine flames and gushed into the Furnace of Immortality.

Ye Qingtian exhaled a sigh of relief. His Qi and blood were surging in his body, and all his strength was gone. Now, he was so weak that he did not even have the strength to retrieve the North Pole Frozen Wheel. He just sat slumped in the hollow, totally exhausted.

”Someone is coming, faster than I expected!” All of a sudden, Zhou Bao's eyes glittered, as if he had detected something. With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Qingtian and the North Pole Frozen Wheel were both gone. He exercised his Three Realms Division and transferred them out of the ruins of Heavenly Falling Star.

”Leave the fairy weapon!”

Surprisingly, just when Zhou Bao split the hollow, a sharp yell floated into his ears. A huge hand appeared out of the hollow, filled with boundless power and made a grab for the North Pole Frozen Wheel that Ye Qingtian had failed to withdraw.

”How dare you!” Zhou Bao gave a sneer but did not make any move. However, a huge black hand suddenly appeared over his head out of nowhere, and flipped towards that huge hand.

Snap!

The two hands made contact with each other in the hollow. The huge black hand stood steadily, while the other hand that had targeted the North Pole Frozen Wheel gave a great shudder. Jets of black spirits started wrapping around the huge hand, forcing it to fade away.

”Huh? This is..?”

Infinite Poison Banner! It was the Infinite Poison Banner! Apart from refining the Green Bamboo Stick in the Sea of Divine Power, Zhou Bao had also worked on the Infinite Poison Banner. In the end, he infused the whole Infinite Poison Banner into his Innate Qi Catching Skill and produced a poisonous black hand, which possessed infinite power.

The one who had struck out in the dark had a cultivation at the level of the Lord of Heaven Realm, but apparently, he did not foresee that Zhou Bao could refine such a poisonous hand. Due to this negligence, the Hollow Catching Hand that he had developed after innumerable trials and hardships, had been badly damaged.

Zhou Bao had practiced the Innate Qi Catching Skill for some days. With his strength, fitting the pneuma into a huge hand should be a piece of cake, but he felt that there had been a problem in doing so, and the result was the unsatisfactory power it displayed.

The Innate Qi Catching Skill was very useful, and it did not require a high cultivation to practice. As long as you knew how it worked, even if you were at Individual Immortal Karma Rank or an even lower level, such as a Level Eight or Level Nine expert, you were qualified to practice this skill. But the power of the huge hand you produce varied. If it had a strong power, it would naturally be more formidable, like the one that Yu Taixu accomplished, which could even contend with the Furnace of Immortality. However, in most cases, the Innate Qi Catching Skill could not be used as a primary attacking measure but merely as a scare tactic or some other emergencies or for some tasks the body itself refused to do. But curiously, the feature of this special technique was that it had limitless room for improvement. The stronger the pneuma you used, the smarter the refining technique you employed, the greater its power would be.

Therefore, Zhou Bao decided to refine the Infinite Poison Banner into it directly. A point to take note of was that his Infinite Poison Banner already contained a powerful killer, the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast, and a kind of wicked pneuma, the Peach Blossom Miasma. The Innate Qi Catching Hand of the opponent was also composed of that pneuma. But let's put the Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast aside for now and focus on the Peach Blossom Miasma, whose specialty was to break down all sorts of pneuma and Gang Qi. When it touched the huge hand that had appeared in the hollow, its power worked instantly and almost destroyed that huge hand.

”How could this happen?” The opponent obviously did not expect that the power of Zhou Bao's Innate Qi Catching Skill was so strong and could create so much trouble. He was a Lord of Heaven and had spent a fair amount of time and effort in practicing this Innate Qi Catching Skill. This hollow hand was made from 81 rare types of pneuma he collected, which had worked smoothly everywhere. Even when it encountered an opponent who was also a Lord of Heaven, it could still exert a strong lethality, let alone dealing with a guy like Zhou Bao, whose cultivation was several tiers below him.

However, after defeating this raider, Zhou Bao did not relax his vigilance but continued in hot pursuit.
