767 The First Round of Battle (1/2)
Zhou Bao displayed the power of a practitioner who was a half step to Earthly Immortal in that blow.
When one was infinitely close to breaking through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, but still had an essential difference between him and a real Earthly Immortal, we called the stage he attained, ”a half step to Earthly Immortal”.
However, this half a step proved a journey filled with numerous difficulties and dangers. It impeded countless practitioners.
For example, Qing Feng and Ming Yue from the Fifth Manor were both a half step to Earthly Immortal. However, they had been stranded in this stage for many years. It was extremely difficult for them to bridge that gap and become real Earthly Immortals.
”Hmph! Do you think yourself worthy to suppress me because you are an Earthly Immortal?!” Zhou Bao sneered and his eyes flashed with strange, red light. Suddenly, his body floated up, and around him, Ruo Lin, Cundi, and other people disappeared simultaneously—absorbed into his Supreme Fairy Weapon.
Of course, Zhou Bao did not expose his Supreme Fairy Weapon, because he directly wrapped them into the Azure Big World.
In the eyes of other people, they did not take the Azure Big World as a macro world, but mistook it for Zhou Bao's Self-world.
Zhou Bao practiced the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill and possessed the Real Body of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, therefore, his cultivation had already reached the Lord of Heaven Realm. However, he had not evolved his Self-world yet. The Azure Big World, obviously, bridged that gap.
”BOOM!”
He punched into the hollow.
”Come out, you old bastard!”
”How bold you are!” Zhou Bao cracked the space of the Thunder Capital, firmer than a rock, with this punch. Furthermore, he voiced some sarcastic remarks. As a result, the Earthly Immortal hiding in the dark flew into a rage about his insults.
”Brat, I must kill you. You're digging your own grave. I'm going to rip your skin off and take your tendons out, so that you can have no chance to free yourself!”
While boasting, an invisible canopy fell from the sky.
”Damn, it's his macro world!”
Although the canopy was invisible, Zhou Bao's spiritual mind remained acute. He immediately understood that this Earthly Immortal meant to drag him into his macro world—his home field. If pulled into it, he would be trampled by him.
”Break!” Zhou Bao's ferocity aroused at this point. The attack of an Earthly Immortal was indeed extraordinary powerful. The Earthly Immortal not only enveloped Zhou Bao with his macro world but also constrained the space around him. This kind of constraint appeared different from the space constraint Zhou Bao had seen before. It was more powerful because it directly placed a constraint on the essence of the space. Zhou Bao could do nothing despite the fact he was proficient in the Great Way of Heavens and Realms.
”You are too naive, Young Man. Do you really believe you can fight an Earthly Immortal being only a half step to Earthly Immortal? Surely you jest! I can crush you with a single finger!”
”Bullshit!” Without hesitation, Zhou Bao operated the Mysterious Icy Divine Light. His body shook violently and forcefully broke open the diamond-tough space. ”Then show me what you can do now! You'd better be careful lest I cut your finger off!”
”You son of a bitch!” Zhou Bao's aggressiveness made the Earthly Immortal's blood boil. The floating clouds surged in the sky and then a huge finger dropped from them. It pressed down on Zhou Bao's head and threatened to crush him alive.
”That's what I want, damn it!”
Eyeing the coming finger, Zhou Bao did not panic but stood pleased. He devoted himself to practice punching skill and what he liked most was the hand-to-hand battle. It tempered his punching skill and fist intent. No matter how formidable an Earthly Immortal was, the power one of his fingers exerted should not be too powerful. He used that as his touchstone and charged at that Earthly Immortal without hesitation.
”BOOM!”
Zhou Bao felt a powerful force creep over his fist and then flew back as quickly as an arrow leaves a string. This impact broke the constraint on the Thunder Capital and he rushed out of this city.
And the finger that stretched out stopped for a while. The huge impact generated in this fight's round screeched and teetered the Thunder Capital space.
At the same time, a layer of deep-blue light covered the finger, and streams of mysterious cold air circled around it as well.
”How could this be possible? How could this man have such an enormous amount of power? This is the Icy Divine Light. No, it's more powerful than that. What the hell is this power?!” In the depths of the Thunder Capital's space, that Earthly Immortal suddenly felt a chill in his finger. Later, a biting chill spread to his body along his finger.
But he did not care much about it.
He crossed the Earthly Immortal Tribulation and created a complete macro world. That meant he was no longer afraid of any attack of the Dharma power. He possessed the ability to transform any Dharma power into the pneuma of his macro world without making an effort. Without the power to break a macro world, no one could harm him.
