Chapter 874 The Crimson Thunder

Amid the thick black smoke, the second Crown Prince of the Jade Emperor was extremely exasperated.

Of course he was! He had been captured by Zhou Bao at the Treasure-snatching Rock and imprisoned in the Dark Garbha-mandala Canopy. There was no light, no sound, no airflow and no distinction of time and space, only complete darkness. He was able to withstand such an environment only because he was an Immortal. Otherwise, he would have gone stark raving mad.

“Crown Prince! It’s good that you’re still alive!”

“Zhou Bao, how dare you!” At the sound of Zhou Bao’s voice, the prince’s eyes glowed with rage and his divine thoughts shot out. But it couldn’t penetrate the dark poison gas around him. “Release me immediately! Get on your knees and be my slave. I’ll ask my father to forgive you. Or, I’ll—!”

“Smack!!!”

Zhou Bao slapped him hard. “Idiot! How could you be so presumptuous even after being caught! Seems like the Jade Emperor Sage did not teach his son any manners!”

“You—!”

Zhou Bao shook his head, thinking that the prince was hopeless. He then stretched out his fingers and suddenly grabbed the prince’s forehead.

“I am not interested in you. It’s only because you killed Huang Lei and I’m very interested in his fate!” Zhou Bao didn’t want to talk too much. He instantly performed the Soul Searching. Streams of poison gas penetrated the prince’s body and began to corrode it, even though it was as tough as steel.

“Zhou Bao, you—!”

If Zhou Bao performed only one type of Soul Searching, the prince might be able to hold on for a while. But Zhou Bao used the Elixir Poison of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast to corrode his body first and then searched his soul. The prince was overwhelmed and unable to resist.

He was completely at Zhou Bao’s disposal and was later refined.

“Zhou Bao! I curse you. You won’t die in peace! Even if I die, I’ll curse you for thousands of years. You will be executed by my father! Anyone related to you will be killed! I—!”

Zhou Bao tuned out his ranting and narrowed his eyes intently. He started The Soul Searching. Huge amounts of memory were extracted. Even though some of it was not complete, it was enough for Zhou Bao to uncover the secrets of Jade Emperor Palace.

As the son of the Jade Emperor Sage, the second Crown Prince had an unfathomable cultivation. He had lived for so long and was a famous expert since antiquity times. The Soul Searching took almost twelve hours since his memory was so extensive and rich. Due to the erosion from the Elixir Poison, the prince’s body withered to a skeletal state. After he died, his body was discarded.

Zhou Bao was not happy at all with the memory and Divine Sense of the prince. His expression turned grave.

The prince knew too much, which was a shock to him. He realized that he had underestimated the power of Jade Emperor Palace. The so-called Jade Emperor Palace was literally another Heavenly Court of the Heaven Realm in the antiquity times. Most experts and practitioners of the Heavenly Court survived the Necromancer’s Tribulation and followed the Jade Emperor Sage to the Immortal Realm. They secured a place for themselves and created the family of Jade Emperor Palace.

However, the prince had no idea of the emperor’s strength. He didn’t have any desire to know, because in his eyes, his father was too powerful and invincible.

Besides Jade Emperor Sage, there were three more people in Jade Emperor Palace that the prince dared not offend. They were among the ten most powerful Earthly Immortals along with Emperor An and were only half a step away from being Celestial Immortals.
