699 The First Light of the Tree of Seven Wonders (1/2)

The body fell slowly, fluttering to the ground like a dead leaf.

As it fell, a strange light flashed momentarily. A milky white brilliance filled the sky and disappeared; it condensed into a suspended pool of water and emitted a faint light.

Zhou Bao had made a critical strike with his hammer, the Heavenly Jade Technique, and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. Of course, this was not the main issue. The main issue was that his Mysterious Icy Divine Light was making use of the Seven Wonderful Techniques and it made a fantastic change. He was skilled at four of the Seven Wonderful Techniques: the Heavenly Jade Technique, the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, the Dharma Power-restoring Skill, and the Immortal Body Technique.

For the longest time, only the Heavenly Jade Technique and Snake-like Breath Holding Skill could complement each other. They could be used together to create an incredible power. Up to now, Zhou Bao used this force to score his critical hits. But after he practiced the Dharma Power-restoring Skill, Zhou Bao had hoped that it would create a reaction with the other two techniques. But it became clear that this Dharma Power-restoring Skill just worked parallel to the other two beams of light and they could not be combined. So Zhou Bao's dream went unfulfilled.

But after he received the Immortal Body Technique, he discovered that this technique and the Dharma Power-restoring Skill greatly complimented each other, and when combined they created a mysterious effect. Of course, the combined results of these two skills were about the same as Zhou Bao's own power and was no match for the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. None of its skills were visible from the outside. It just had a powerful effect in addition to helping the body to recuperate and for the pneuma to recover.

This additional skill, used alongside the characteristics of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan and Zhou Bao's own strength, created a power he could really depend upon, namely the ability to immediately recover with the Dharma power recovery speed. It was of course not an instant recovery but similar to his former life when he would cheat while playing Diablo, carrying a small N-shaped amulet that defied natural order. But he did not need to worry that his Dharma power was not enough, it was extremely powerful. He also did not need to be concerned that it was too big a move, because it could clear all the Dharma power at once.

Therefore, Zhou Bao had superhuman endurance. It was enough to endure a ten-day battle with a Youxian Temple master, even up to a hundred-day battle. It really made a big difference.

There was actually too much advantage from combining the Dharma Power-restoring Skill and the Immortal Body Technique. Of course, Zhou Bao needed to keep this benefit to himself, and indeed only he knew about it. He kept quiet about this huge advantage. Originally, Zhou Bao thought that when the Dharma Power-restoring Skill and Immortal Body Technique were combined, the advantages would be the instant recovery process for both the inner-body and Dharma power. But he never imagined that after the intense contest with the Fairy Pool Hunter, he had the ability to operate all four of the skills at the same time. It was just his way of making quick breakthroughs and overcoming obstacles. After he struck the Fairy Pool Hunter, that killing urge turned into a strong belief that was concentrated on his hammer. The four Seven Wonderful Techniques finally infused into one to become a blue light.

This blue light was very strange and mysterious as it contained all the mysticism of the world and the universe. It contained all the knowledge and had a wide mastery of everything. As his hammer struck, this light instantly shattered the Way of Heaven force, Dharma force, and the Power of Fate surrounding the Fairy Pool Hunter. Zhou Bao's big hammer was indeed a sturdy weapon.

Of course, this was not the most important thing. The Fairy Pool Hunter was the one who had mastered the use of the Immortal-burying Pool. Even though Zhou Bao had shattered him to pieces, it was highly possible and not at all odd if he had made a quick recovery on the spot.

Perhaps all of this would have happened before the blue light was produced.

However, once the blue light burst into view, not only did it shatter the Power of Fate that the Fairy Pool Hunter relied upon, into oblivion, but it also stripped him of his right to control the Immortal-burying Pool. He had already refined this Immortal-burying Pool and infused into it his own spirit brand. But when he lost the controlling rights over it, it returned to its original state.

This time it created more trouble for him. He had just stepped into the Realm of Human Immortal, and had gained his influence with the help of the Immortal-burying Pool. He cheated his way through his tribulation, so how would he ever be able to withstand Zhou Bao's hammer? He had been so dependent on the Immortal-burying Pool that when it was gone, there was nothing else he could do.

And so, he was swiftly beaten by Zhou Bao and his hammer.

He really took a pounding!
