Chapter 883 - Beating Back Fate, the Azure Heavens Attack (1/2)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The Axe of Fate was formed from the Thunder of Fate. When the heavens and earth first began, the Thunder of Fate split open the World Tree. Then everything became chaotic. Because of this, the Axe of Fate was the nemesis of the World Tree and the Tree of Seven Wonders.
Zhou Bao used the Tree of Seven Wonders to block the attack of the Axe of Fate. Of course, they were not evenly matched. It was like smashing an egg against a rock. Zhou Bao’s power was increasing and had far exceeded that of the party mounting the secret attack. Therefore, when his Tree of Seven Wonders was cut down by the axe, people were sent flying, but were not seriously injured. They just suffered a big misfortune when they weren’t paying attention.
As the cryptic axe light came into view, the attackers revealed themselves.
“A woman!”
The attacker was female, an incredibly beautiful lady emitting a respectable spirit from head to toe. She wore a pale yellow imperial maid’s dress and in her hand, she held a small, moon-white axe. She went for Zhou Bao in a split second, hacking away at him with the axe.
“This girl is so fierce!” Seeing the axe coming at him, Zhou Bao bared his teeth. He knew right away who the attacker was: the Jade Emperor Princess. The same Jade Emperor Princess who killed the Tribulation Taker Ying Hu who had the Thunder of Fate Tribulation Divine Sense; but it now seemed that this Jade Emperor Princess had taken it.
“Little girl, none of your brothers could kill you. Are you going to kill me with just that axe? Well, then I’ll use this opportunity to kill you instead, seize the axe and then go and sort out your brothers!” As he was speaking, Zhou Bao retrieved his Tree of Seven Wonders that had been drifting through space.
Within moments, it appeared in front of the Jade Emperor Princess’ face and raised a fist.
The Jade Emperor’s omnipotent energy and Snake-like Breath Holding Skill matched the perfect insight of the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique’s addition and the New Jin Earthly Immortal Realm. This fist was said to have the most perfect strike and did not make any sound when it moved. Strangely, it seemed to appear out of nowhere and then disappeared again.
The Jade Emperor Princess was shocked. She did not consider that after Zhou Bao’s advance to the Earthly Immortal level, he was able to move so quickly and attack so viciously. Seeing the oncoming attack, she instinctively moved the axe to block off the attack.
Boom!
A huge boom resounded, but Zhou Bao stayed where he was. However, the Jade Emperor Princess was sent flying. In this first contest between the two, it turned out that one of them was now at a disadvantage. Zhou Bao naturally could not waste this opportunity. He went straight after her and activated his punching skill. He launched a series of attacks that the Jade Emperor Princess had no way of countering.
“Wham, wham, wham—!”
Zhou Bao’s fist continuously hit the moon-white axe and with every hit, the surrounding hollow was repeatedly smashed too. The Jade Emperor Princess retreated step by step and ended up being at the losing end. She showed no signs of giving up; all the power she had came from the moon-white axe in her hand.
“Roar—!” Zhou Bao attacked with a huge bellow that resounded all around the Immortal Realm. His body underwent strange changes as his joints and muscles started expanding. A terrible spirit emanated from his body and in seconds he had turned into a formidable ape, with a thousand feet tall body. The Jade Emperor Princess looked like a speck of dust under this ginormous ape. Facing the towering ape, she had nothing else to fall back on and went pale. Before she could think about what to do next, Zhou Bao reached for her with his enormous hand.
His hand blocked out the entire sky as it descended, as if the heavens were falling. In the approaching doomsday, he did not need a technique, nor Dharma power. All he needed was to push his enormous hand down with all his strength.
The sky changed color!
Of course, the Jade Emperor Princess would not just hang around awaiting her death. Seeing Zhou Bao’s hand coming down and the entire sky turning into a giant millstone coming to crush her, she grunted delicately and chopped at the hollow with the moon-white Axe of Fate. She cut a hole in the giant millstone and knew that even if she were to use the Axe of Fate, she could not inflict any harm on Zhou Bao, let alone gain anything from this battle.
