Chapter 890: Face to Face with the Celestial Immortal

“Plotting against me?”

By now, outside the Treasure-snatching Rock, Jade Emperor Sage looked thin and pallid. His bright yellow Imperial Robe was somewhat tattered as if it had been torn apart by a thousand shrews. His expression was very odd. He looked excited and pleasantly surprised, but mainly he looked worried about the outcome. Such an expression would be quite normal on a common person; however, on a Celestial Immortal’s face it looked very strange and was even frightening. This was because even when the eras ended and the whole universe was destroyed, a Celestial Immortal would never look like this.

But now, Jade Emperor Sage’s expression was so intense. There were two other Celestial Immortals standing close behind him. The two looked to be in a far better condition than he, but their expressions were worse.

“Jade Emperor, we’re surprised you are willing to release the Three Daoist Abilities!”

Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage, a Celestial Immortal with a pale gray complexion, said this, while glaring at Jade Emperor Sage. He looked helpless and a little rueful.

“You have to lose something in order to gain something in return!” Jade Emperor Sage smiled. “I gave up three incarnations and in return, two people agreed not to interfere. It was worth it!”

“You’re right. We won’t meddle any longer. But you don’t have any room for maneuver!” Gale Sage replied.

“No, I don’t have any room for maneuver. As you know, I have practiced the Way of the Emperor. Even though I have achieved the Celestial Immortal’s Way, it would not go far and only if I can move forward. But you won’t give me the chance! Sooner or later I will have to face my opponents and take a gamble. If I win, then…”

Jade Emperor Sage laughed mischievously and said no more.

Gale Sage and Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage looked at each other. Gale Sage said, “Fine. Let’s see if your luck is good enough to get you through this. If you lose, then we won’t mention it. If you win, then neither of us need worry about it.”

Having spoken, both he and Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage disappeared simultaneously.

“Phew!” Jade Emperor Sage let out a long breath. Although it could be said that he already passed the test, with the two old-school Celestial Immortals facing him, he couldn’t deny that he felt the pressure. Supposing one of them became confused and attacked, his countless years as a practitioner would have gone to waste. Thankfully, the two Celestial Immortals were the type who kept their promises and abided by the rules. They would not make things difficult for him.

The Celestial Immortal level divine thoughts fluctuated slightly and Jade Emperor Sage immediately understood the Treasure-snatching Rock’s situation. This time, it was Yu An who plotted against Zhou Bao and all of his Dharma power had been sucked in by the mysterious fog.

Ah, luck!

Jade Emperor Sage was not the slightest bit surprised about this, because this script was written by him. He focused all his attention on the cloud surrounding Zhou Bao like the thick golden mist of the pinnacle cultivation of an Earthly Immortal.

It was his luck!

His luck was extremely strong by now and was blazing away fiercely.

“Roar—!” Zhou Bao let out a massive roar and the white hair covering his Real Body of Zhuyan from head to foot, exploded. “Infinite Trembling Contemplation, break it open!”

At this moment, Zhou Bao activated all of his Dharma power and used his Infinite Trembling Contemplation.

Within seconds, a piercing buzzing sound filled the space.

In a few moments, Zhou Bao’s Dharma power had been shaken millions of times over and the black fog created by Yu An was unable to suck in any more. Zhou Bao took this moment to take a step backwards and in the blink of an eye, he escaped from Yu An’s control.

After being freed from the restraint of the black mist, Zhou Bao panted heavily. Although his encounter with Yu An was brief, he had managed to absorb more than a third of his Dharma Power and his body was considerably weakened.

But he also knew that this was not the time to relax. By now, there were countless eyes watching him and as a Tribulation Taker, he was extremely valuable. One false move and he could be dead inside the Treasure-snatching Rock. There was no space for negotiation.

Although his body was weakened, he had a stronger Qi Power than before. The Real Body of Zhuyan had also become incredibly aggressive. “Yu An, plotting against me is not as easy as you think!”

By now Yu An had evolved completely into a mass of black fog which warped continuously. As mentioned before, Zhou Bao’s Dharma power could not be absorbed that easily. Yu An had used some mysterious powers to absorb a third of Zhou Bao’s Dharma power, but it was almost impossible to ingest it. The black fog exuded an ice-blue vapor, freezing the space into chunks of ice. This was the Icy Divine Light and the Mysterious Divine Light inside the vapor became indigestible pneuma that could not even be expelled.

Seemingly understanding Yu An’s predicament, a cruel smile flashed over Zhou Bao’s space. “Yu An, it seems like you’ve reached the end of your luck! Today, it will truly be over!” As he was speaking, the rays of the Tree of Seven Wonders burst forth and infused with Zhou Bao’s body. He transformed into a colorful light which shot straight at Yu An.

All of the Earthly Immortals inside the Treasure-snatching Rock gasped. Zhou Bao’s colorful light did not leak the tiniest bit of spirit, but the gas coming in gave them an indescribable, oppressive feeling. The Earthly Immortal realm’s spirit consciousness told them that these colorful rays could be deadly if they touched the body, let alone subject to a full attack.

“Is Yu An done for?”

This thought flashed through the minds of nearly all Earthly Immortals. The colorful lights ruthlessly struck the black fog and in a short while, the immensely thick fog scattered from the strike.

Poof!

It was as if a large stone had been dropped into a bonfire; clouds of ashes flew everywhere. The black fog dispersed rapidly, greatly surprising the Earthly Immortals inside the Treasure-snatching Rock. Every single one of their bodies started flickering and they scrambled to take shelter from this black fog. Who knew whether this black fog could also engulf all of their Dharma power?
