825 Killing and Fleeing (1/2)

Bit by bit, a golden flame appeared in front of Zhou Bao and burned above the Furnace of Immortality.

The Sacred Fire Bead was completely destroyed by him and the Ignis Essence that formed in the Sacred Fire Bead went easy on the Tusita Flame. This bit of the Sacred Fire Bead was the only bit that Zhou Bao did not attain. The Sky-burning Golden Flame was one of the nine kinds of Heavenly Fire. Zhou Bao would not do anything unless he was absolutely sure.

For each and every kind of Heavenly Fire, it was no way less significant than the existence of an ordinary Heavenly Fairy Weapon. Once it was refined, a tiny bit of flame could burn down everything. It was very useful when facing enemies. To be honest, the Sky-burning Golden Flame was one of the very few flames in the Void Universe that could burn an Earthly Immortal's body completely. The other flames, no matter how insidious, no matter how powerful, could at most only injure their bodies. Only the Sky-burning Golden Flame and the Purple Dazzling Heavenly Fire could completely destroy an Earthly Immortal's body.

The properties of each of the nine kinds of Heavenly Fire were all different. For example, the Ancient Black Flame was mainly good at engulfing, digesting and absorbing. In terms of the flame level, it was weaker than the Sky-burning Golden Flame. When fully executed, it could only cause serious injuries to Earthly Immortals, and could not burn the Earthly Immortal's life essence completely. This explanation does not serve to degrade the Ancient Black Flame, it was just to illustrate the difference in the flames' properties. For example, the Primitive Dragon Chimera, which was born from the Ancient Black Flame, has the strongest presence among the Primordial Fierce Beasts, making it one of the Six Royals. On the other hand, the Primordial Fierce Beast born of the Sky-burning Golden Flame was uncomparably strong but was one level weaker than the Six Royals.

This time around, Zhou Bao gained the Sky-burning Golden Flame, which was another addition to his collection of big weapons used to defeat Earthly Immortals. As long as he could refine and use it properly, his Second Primordial Spirit would gain the power to kill an Earthly Immortal on its own.

Of course, refining the Sky-burning Golden Flame will not just take a day or two. It required his Primordial Fire Spirit to use a watermill method to slowly acquire the golden flame as its own.

”Eh, this god-damned golden flame, it is not easy to acquire it!” Feeling the heat from the Sky-burning Golden Flame, Zhou Bao sighed softly. After which, he inserted this golden flame into the Furnace of Immortality and handed the task of refinement to his Second Primordial Spirit. He calmed himself down and started his closed-door training.

The closed-door training this time around was to stabilize his Five Qis that is in the Collecting in Mind phase he had just reached. He was unlucky to run into the Earthly Immortals' sneak attack right after he underwent the Human Immortal Tribulation. There was no time and energy for him to stabilize his phase. Now that he had left the Seven Mysteries World, he saw that he had nothing to do. Since he had gained the Sky-burning Golden Flame, he decided to stabilize his phase first before doing something else.

But it was a pity that someone did not want him to execute his good idea. Before a few days had passed since he calmed down, a warning emerged in his heart.

Being carried away by a whim and feeling warnings - these were connections with the mysterious fate in the mortal world, produced after one's cultivation reached a certain standard. Using these connections, cultivators could avoid evil, time and again without fail.

Once the warning emerged, Zhou Bao opened his eyes.

”Damn it, which blind person is trying to find trouble with me!”

Before he finished thinking about that, Zhou Bao heard a loud boom. A strong force emerged out of nowhere, blasting the meteorite he was hiding in into pieces.

”Earthly Immortals, not just one of them!” The huge power induced fear into him. Radiance was flashing irregularly around him, which led him to understand that his opponent was setting a formation.

There was not just one Earthly Immortal setting a formation!

Zhou Bao may feel unhappy, but he was not dumb. Without thinking, he took out his Furnace of Immortality. A white flame essence shot out of it and aimed straight towards the strongest spot in the radiance.

Boom!

His flame essence did not hit the target. Instead, it was defeated by a cyan-colored ripple. A small effort was all it took for a long starry river to descend from above him and suppress him.

”Zhou Bao, go to hell!”

There were multiple layers of destroyed and compressed space below the vast power. The angry roar was filled with hatred. It belonged to the defeated leader, Emperor Hulong.

Emperor Hulong!

”Hmm, there's a way to heaven but you do not want to walk. There is no door to hell but you insist on coming. Since you're here, then do not leave!” A stiff thought flashed passed Zhou Bao's expression. Looking at the long starry river descending from the skies, a sword light rushed into the sky, instantly splitting the river into two.

”Kid, you better stay still!” After the sword split open the river, Zhou Bao did not have time to make any more moves and then heard a sinister thought ringing through his Sea of Consciousness.

”Not good!” Fear had struck him and his body immediately sprang into action. However, he was still too late. A sinister spirit struck the side of his body, causing him to stumble.

”What a strong force!” Zhou Bao felt the strong cold force in the sinister spirit's strength. It caused his ever strong and indestructible body to be badly injured. A sense of weakness started to spread all over his body.

”Poison?!” Zhou Bao was alarmed. He activated the Immortal Body Technique and Dharma Power-restoring Skill from the Seven Wonderful Techniques immediately. At the same time, a green light shot out from his mid-brows. It evolved into a green-robed teen. That sword light that split open the starry river also evolved into a red-clothed teen. Together with the green-robed teen, they stood at two sides of Zhou Bao. The Furnace of Immortality was lifted high above Zhou Bao's head by Zhou Bao himself. It emitted a layer of golden light, which enveloped Zhou Bao and his two primordial spirits.

”Where did this powerful spirit come from? Why are you not in good terms with this poor Taoist?!”

”Hum, Zhou Bao, stop pretending to be Taoist Cundi! You killed my Celestial Pool World's Young Realm Master, and yet you still dare to come to the Holy Alliance! Do you really not know how death feels like?!”

”Celestial Pool World? You're the Earthly Immortal from the Celestial Pool World?”
