Chapter 895: The Ultimate Tribulation (II)

What’s happening here?

Zhou Bao looked around his Sea of Consciousness, completely dumbstruck. He saw several of his Primary Primordial Spirits fluttering about. Cundi’s primordial spirit roared, whipping up huge frenzied waves, engulfing everything.

“A Highest Grade Celestial Devil? Do you think that releasing a Highest Grade Celestial Devil would help in dealing with me? I have already devoured all of the boy’s primordial spirit.”

Cundi frantically attacked the countless Primary Primordial Spirits that were suddenly appearing in the Sea of Consciousness. Meanwhile, an immensely powerful thought split off noiselessly from one of Cundi’s spirits and transmitted itself into Zhou Bao’s spirit.

“This is the——!”

This message was even more powerful than the one he had received when the Primordial Sword Spirit disappeared, and more real.

Boom!

A huge sound rang throughout the Sea of Consciousness. Cundi’s primordial spirit once again turned into a raging ocean. In a short time, it had engulfed thousands of Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirits. But what happened next made him hesitate.

Because the remaining “spirits” had begun to cross the Divine Tribulation!

These “Primary Primordial Spirits” had been transformed from Highest Grade Celestial Devils and were not Zhou Bao’s true primordial spirits. They’d invaded the Sea of Consciousness to confuse Cundi and were meaningless in the Celestial Immortal Tribulation because they could not become Celestial Immortals. If these “Primary Primordial Spirits” really were Highest Grade Celestial Devils, then Cundi would not have anything to worry about. But what if they actually were Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirits?

That would be a problem!

Attacking these “Primary Primordial Spirits” took little effort. But if Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirits had not actually been annihilated, then his attack would cause a chain reaction. He could seal up the tribulation with his Tree of Seven Wonders, and because his primordial spirit had already far exceeded the Celestial Immortal level, even though he had been in a deep sleep for countless eras, he could sleep for several thousand more. His primordial spirit was also at the Celestial Immortal level. Zhou Bao only needed for his physical body to ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm.

But the God-striking Whip had just made a hole in the Tree of Seven Wonders, and the power of the Divine Tribulation had leaked in. Although he had patched it up in time, if Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirit was really there and reacted to the tribulation, then even the Tree of Seven Wonders could not stop his primordial spirits from ascending to the Celestial Immortal realm.

As long as he was still alive, he could probably stop him, but for now he was powerless.

The most vexing thing was that he could have just let Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirits ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm and forgotten about it, because he was the last Celestial Immortal of the era, the Omnipotent Sage. If he were to let Zhou Bao succeed, then his own primordial spirit would truly have no way of being able to stop him from ascending to Omnipotent Sage status.

But these were not Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirits, right?

The primordial spirits in the Sea of Consciousness could certainly react to the Celestial Immortal Tribulation, but it was hard to keep them out of harm’s way. At this critical moment, he did not need to be dealing with Zhou Bao’s half-living half-dead primordial spirits. They were only pawns, after all. There was a stronger opponent waiting for them. Although this opponent only had one opportunity to attack, this attack would be earth-shattering.

“A worthless Omnipotent Sage, that’s all you are. Even if I let you ascend, so what?” He pondered for a moment, then made a decision. “First I need to deal with this guy’s attack. Even if you do achieve Omnipotent Sage status and place your primordial spirit in the third layer of the vacuum, I will still be able to exterminate you!”

“Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?” Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirits finally floated out from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness. They were inconspicuous among the multitude of “Primary Primordial Spirits”. They had barely appeared when they felt the terrible force from the tribulation.

“This is the Celestial Immortal Tribulation. Of course, I have no way of crossing at my level!” The Celestial Immortal Tribulation had only seeped slightly into his Sea of Consciousness. It was simply not at the same scale. As it entered the huge sea, it was dispersed by countless Highest Grade Celestial Devils. Despite this, his Primary Primordial Spirits had no way of supporting it.

The fact of the matter was that Zhou Bao had only ascended to the Earthly Immortal realm recently, and he did not even have a proper insight into its foundation. How could it have been possible to suddenly ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm?

The Dharma Ending Tribulation was an opportunity, but it was a distant one. In fact, although he, Kong Ti, and the others were known as Tribulation Takers, they could not all achieve Omnipotent Sage status. Even if he defeated all of them, it was not possible.

The biggest likelihood was in the Dharma Ending Tribulation. All of his luck belonged to the Underworld Sage, who had not long before proven himself a strong man at the Celestial Immortal level. In fact, during most of the eras, Omnipotent Sages had been created before the Dharma Ending Tribulations. They made use of the tribulation’s power to absorb some of the luck of the era and placed their primordial spirit in the fourth layer of the vacuum. This was the most orthodox origin of the Omnipotent Sage.

But this was a special situation.
