786 The Devil Realm, Void, and Change (2/2)
After they vanished, Zhao Wuyan flicked the crystal ball once again and Zhou Bao's appearance reappeared in it. However, it was no longer the scene in the Suspended Stone Spacetime where the Void Competition was held, but in the Human Emperor Palace. Zhou Bao sat on the chair right below the throne and accepted compliments from other people, with a bored expression on his face. Killing an Earthly Immortal, no matter when and where, was something that awed people.
”Killing an Earthly Immortal in one fell swoop is indeed powerful. But, young man, you still have a long way to go. I will offer you the best opportunity. As to how far you can go in the future is your capability!” Zhao Wuyan sighed gently and flicked the crystal ball, dispelling the pictures.
When the leaders of the Devil Realm discussed matters, the Heaven Realm World descended into chaos. King Wuyang Zhou Bao killed an Earthly Immortal in a head-on battle.
That meant Zhou Bao possessed the combat capability of an Earthly Immortal or a Great Ancient Emperor. This alone could reverse the situation of the Heaven Realm World.
No matter what means or power he used, he killed the Torrential Thunder Emperor, who launched a sneak attack against him. This matter changed the tune of various macro worlds and influences in the Void Universe about the Heaven Realm World. They revised their opinion of the Heaven Realm World from a moribund world to a world that suffered a sharp decline in strength but still had some immeasurable potential.
Yes, immeasurable potential. In public, the Heaven Realm World possessed a powerful man like Zhou Bao who could kill an Earthly Immortal; in secret, they had the legendary Sea Emperor—the Vast Sea Emperor from antiquity times, who still had the power of an Earthly Immortal. Apart from these two people, ordinary people could not fathom what kind of people hiding in the depth of the endless spacetime of the Heaven Realm World.
At any rate, by Zhou Bao defending the Heaven Realm World, its awkward situation improved drastically. At least anyone from another macro world no longer dared give Yan Yuntian a condescending attitude, as bold as brass. Only those macro worlds with Earthly Immortals backing them could straighten up when facing Yan Yuntian. Only the influences that had more than one Earthly Immortals could plot against the Heaven Realm World. However, they would never behave so arrogantly again. On the contrary, they treated the Heaven Realm World as an equal. The change of their attitude complicated this situation further.
However, Zhou Bao paid no attention.
But it did not mean the way things progressed did not concern him. In fact, he felt a growing sense of unease in recent days. It happened for some reasons. As he grew more powerful, he gradually developed a deeper understanding of the Way of Heaven and became more sensitive to some special things. To put it in a rather vulgar way, he was carried away by a whim.
The higher one's cultivation was, the more accurate his feeling was. Although he could not deduce the course of the incident by touching his fingertips like the powerful men in novels from his previous life, he still felt uneasy about all this.
”It seems I am still not powerful enough, otherwise, I will not be so uneasy now!” Zhou Bao sighed secretly. He mulled over all the big things that occurred recently in his mind and focused on the Devil Tribulation he once worried about.
Devil Tribulation!
”Will the Devil Tribe truly attack the Heaven Realm World?”
He did not stress about the Devil Tribulation too much. After all, it only bore little impact on him. With a Supreme Fairy Weapon, he was able to both attack and defend. He would not suffer heavy losses even if the Devil Tribe occupied the Heaven Realm World.
”But why my unease? Is there anything I don't know or haven't anticipated?”
Just as he scratched his head, a dim light flashed across the sky, passed through the protective formation of Jilei Mountain, and appeared in front of him.
”Emperor Wuyang, you're still so carefree!”
Since he killed the Torrential Thunder Emperor, Zhou Bao received this new nickname. Although he was still named King Wuyang in the Seven-deity Regions, this new nickname spread widely.
”Do not speak these useless things in my presence, Chief Wang. You're influential and of great power, so you mustn't visit me without an ulterior motive!”
Wang She smiled. ”You're right, I do come for a reason. There's something amiss with the Void Universe recently. Although the Devil Tribulation occurred in the Easternmost Land the last time had been suppressed, traces of the Devil Tribe are found in the Northernmost Sea!”
”The Northernmost Sea?”
”Yes. To be specific, it is the southern part of the Underworld Sea. Originally, that place was guarded by the Torrential Thunder Emperor. But since you killed him, it is now left without anyone defending it. Then, the Devil Tribe suddenly appeared. It will be somewhat troublesome to handle this matter, I'm afraid!”
