601 Breaking the Illusive Ripple with Three Hammer Moves (1/2)
Boom!
The loud bang spread to the sky from Yunzhong City just like a loud crash of a thunderbolt in an extremely clear sky.
The whole ground in Yunzhong City shook three times. All the practitioners whose cultivations were below the Genuine Immortal Realm, even the Individual Immortals, were bleeding heavily from their mouths and noses due to the soundwave and shockwave. Even Genuine Immortals who hadn't reached the Venerable Realm suffered the surge of their qi and blood and were unable to stand steadily.
”What happened?!”
”What is going on?”
”Everyone, look! The Transmitting Hall collapsed!”
”Impossible, the Transmitting Hall actually collapsed!”
…
Just when the loud bang sounded out, all the practitioners with good eyesight had seen clearly that the Transmitting Hall in the center of Yunzhong City collapsed and turned into ruins. But then, there was a strange light flashing over the ruins, rising up into the sky.
”It is the Transmitting Formation leading to the Pond of Illusive Ripples!”
”Transmitting to the Pond of Illusive Ripples? Hasn't this Transmitting Formation been blocked?”
”Yes, there are more than a dozen Venerables guarding it! Why did it open again?!”
…
Crazy discussions spread from inside the Yunzhong City to the outside until the light of the Transmitting Formation disappeared. Only then did a courageous practitioner enter the Transmitting Hall. But the situation inside it made him shudder.
The Transmitting Hall had already been turned into a field of debris. A bunch of Venerables who were originally responsible for guarding the hall now looked pale and sat on the ground; the brilliance on their bodies no longer existed. It looked as if their qi and blood had been exhausted from their appearances. They were all severely injured and fear could easily be seen through their eyes and expressions as if they had seen the most terrible thing in their life.
Perhaps this was indeed the most horrible and dreadful thing they had ever seen. When Zhou Bao constrained several Venerables in front of the city gate of Yunzhong City, they found out that something was wrong. They wanted to come out to check, but before they could get out of the Transmitting Formation, a huge, green hammer shadow appeared in its horrifying form. With a boom, it hit the top of the Transmitting Hall.
This was the origin of that loud noise. Even these Venerables didn't dare to recall the might of that hammer again. In their long life, they had seen many powerful celestial devices and even fairy weapons. But even the most powerful celestial devices and fairy weapons that they had seen had not brought them the huge shock that the shadow of that hammer had brought to them.
It was a kind of power that ignored everything, went forward with indomitable will, and could destroy heaven and earth.
Under the hammer, all the defenses of the Transmitting Hall had been torn apart like a piece of paper, leaving no room for it to resist the attack. Even though the hammer was not aimed at them, these Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm still looked dejected and depressed, and they were badly injured just due to the wind brought by the hammer. They could do nothing but watch the man in cyan with two green hammers hanging behind his butt leisurely launch the Transmitting Formation and send himself straight to the Pond of Illusive Ripples. The worst thing was that after his transmission, the light of the Transmitting Formation immediately dimmed, and he, obviously, had destroyed the formation.
Lord of Heaven, this was definitely the strength of the Lord of Heaven Realm. The information on that image did not lie to them. This person was Zhou Bao, who had been mentioned in that image. He indeed had the combat capability to fight against an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. This was the truth rather than bragging.
But unfortunately, it was too late and also useless for them to know this now.
Zhou Bao had entered the Pond of Illusive Ripple at that moment.
The Pond of Illusive Ripples was a name for a place. It was a strange place in the Infinite Star Sea. A long time ago, it was a deathtrap. Even the Genuine Immortals at the Lord of Heaven Realm were unable to come out if they entered it. In the beginning, the rulers of the two Star Areas thought that there must be some treasures hiding in the Pond of Illusive Ripples and that that place was quite valuable. Therefore, they launched their continuous explorations. And finally, 50,000 years ago, the matter was cleared up.
It didn't contain some kind of treasure at all. It turned out to be a graveyard of a specific species of Primordial Fierce Beasts: the Giant Clam.
Primordial Fierce Beast, Giant Clam.
It was very famous even among countless Fierce Beasts in primitive times. Although it was not one of the most powerful Six Royals like Zhuyan and Nine-headed Fierce Beast, it was also known as the king of Illusionary Techniques and was born to be skilled in those techniques.
Originally, the Pond of Illusive Ripples was merely a slightly larger meteorite, but in primitive times, not knowing when exactly, it became the place where all the Giant Clams in the nearby Star Areas died. Not knowing how many years had passed, it became the Pond of Illusive Ripples then. But because Giant Clams were the kings of Illusionary Techniques, even though all these Fierce Beasts had died and kept piled up over the years, their corpses still had a strong hallucinogenic effect. Powerful Illusionary Techniques enveloped the whole meteorite. Looking at it from a distance, it seemed like a pool of water in the hollow. It was very eye-catching and also made people feel extremely curious.
This kind of curiosity killed countless lives. After tens of thousands of years, the practitioners from the two Star Areas finally solved the mystery and found a solution to it. At last, they built this place into a very special prison especially used for suppressing the powerful practitioners from other areas. These practitioners were totally unfamiliar with this place, and undoubtedly, they knew nothing about the mystery of the Pond of Illusive Ripples. Once they fell into the pond, even if they were practitioners at the Lord of Heaven Realm, ninety percent of them may not be able to get out. If there were more people, the two Star Areas would send another Lord of Heaven to suppress them. Before long, the Lords of Heaven who had fallen into the deathtrap would either die in the Pond of Illusive Ripples or tell all their secrets under the influence of Illusionary Techniques - no exception.
This time around, it was also a very natural thing for them to lead the expert practitioners from the Heaven Realm to the Pond of Illusive Ripples.
The Transmitting Formation of the Pond of Illusive Ripples was very weird. Zhou Bao just came out of the formation and then a piece of beautiful - unreal beautiful - prairie came into his sight. Luckily, Zhou Bao had already found out the truth of the Pond of Illusive Ripples before he came here. Otherwise, he would perhaps fall into the trap.
”Damn.” Looking at the endless beautiful prairie in front of him, Zhou Bao swore in a low voice. A green light flashed through his hand, and then, a hammer shadow swept over the sky.
BOOM!!!
Heaven, earth, space, and pneuma.
