Just as Zhou Bao was feeling helpless and was even considering giving up the fight, a huge pressure broke out inside the Treasure-snatching Rock.

Whoosh!

It was like a storm whipping up on a plain. Jade Emperor Sage hesitated a little under the pressure. How could Zhou Bao, even in his desperation, give up on a chance such as this? He fled. He did not use his Great Way of Heavens and Realms, but his own power. He gathered all his Dharma power and used the power from the pressure to break away from the grasp of Jade Emperor Sage.

“You were able to get out?” The emperor was somewhat surprised that Zhou Bao had escaped from his grasp. But Zhou Bao soon felt relieved. A weak pressure emanated from his body, neutralizing the pressure in the hollow that had risen so suddenly.

“Go on then, leave! There’s nothing you can do here, anyway!” Jade Emperor Sage said in his high and mighty voice. The surrounding Earthly Immortals looked at each other in dismay. After experiencing the unique pressure, they had unanimously decided to make the right choice – to leave.

As much as Zhou Bao wanted to leave, he could not.

He found he could not even lift a finger, due to the pressure. But at the same time, he felt very comfortable; the pressure felt very familiar to him. It was as if it was his own pressure.

A strange, gentle force permeated through the pressure and into his body. It restored and cleansed his battle-scarred body. At that moment, Zhou Bao was alarmed to find that his luck was starting to explode wildly.

Yes, explode. Before, his luck was burning, but by now the golden-yellow luck spirit had been burnt up. It was now exploding, engulfing his body and he felt his strength increase limitlessly. His Dharma power started to surge with a hurricane-like force.

A destructive thought came from his spirit and in a moment, countless ancient thoughts and messages came gushing forth like water from a burst dam, filling his spirit. There were so many messages and they came so quickly that he could not absorb them all at once. The spirit was broken up by the onslaught of thoughts and his mind went totally blank. The next moment, his mind cleared but now, there was slightly more of a cold feeling. A feeling of scorn came through the depths of this cold feeling.

“Boy, what are you going to do?”

Using his own body strength, Zhou Bao felt as if he were waking up from a long sleep and he looked at the Jade Emperor Sage with total scorn. “You are very ambitious, but you don’t have the strength to match it!”

“Taoist Cundi!” The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and felt the earth-shattering pressure. He took a deep breath. Destroying the Celestial Immortal in the long river of time, you were very mighty. But don’t forget that you currently have only an Earthly Immortal’s Body. Even though it is at peak Earthly Immortal, you will never be able to overcome the gap to get to my level!”

“Then what are you going to do about this gap?” While he was speaking, Zhou Bao, or rather, Taoist Cundi, winked. He looked at the sage with great interest. “You have gotten to this realm purely through the Way of the Emperor, which is not easy. It’s a miracle that you have not been hacked to death!”

“I’m not dead yet, but it’s your turn to die! Now you’re occupying Zhou Bao’s body, you cannot stop me!” The sage laughed coldly and waved his hand. An axe with lightning entwined around it appeared in his hand and he hacked violently at Taoist Cundi.

“Stupid!” When Taoist Cundi saw the axe coming for him, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed it like a whale swallowing water. Everything changed color and the decaying spirit that filled the heavens and earth was swallowed up into his body. As the lightning axe came slicing through the air, the vast Qi of Decay created a gray wall around Taoist Cundi. The axe bounced off the wall, as if it was made of leather. The power capable of splitting open the heavens and earth dissipated through the gray and gloomy spirit, but did not harm Taoist Cundi at all.

But as Taoist Cundi absorbed everything, the world outside the Treasure-snatching Rock changed dramatically. The Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena spirit started to gather and formed a million mile long, unbroken funnel in the Immortal Realm. This funnel served as the entrance to the Treasure-snatching Rock and the immeasurable Qi of Decay came pouring into it. It collected around Taoist Cundi, forming a dense, gray fog which gave him secure protection.

Outside the gray fog, Jade Emperor Sage’s expression turned sinister. He never imagined that this could have happened. The axe, made up of condensed Thunder of Fate, could not be so easily overcome. It was able to chop down the World Tree with no difficulty. He even once inferred that this axe’s power was under his own control. This Axe of Fate could simply hack him to death, hack a Celestial Immortal to death and even make him lose any chance of resurrection. That was how much power it had.

He did not count on the axe hacking Cundi to death, but only intended it to injure him severely. But his axe which he had so much confidence in, had disappointed him and even gave him cause for alarm. The Taoist Cundi Remains that he had imagined did not appear. On the contrary, the first thing Taoist Cundi did was to occupy Zhou Bao’s body. Perhaps now, Zhou Bao’s spirit had already been completely destroyed by this ancient Celestial Immortal.

It could not be this way, right?
