Although the Vast Sea Emperor was restricted in this nameless space, he was, after all, of world-shaking cultivation. He looked down on Zhou Bao, but now he thought he was quite a powerful Tribulation Taker. This cultivation was raised through taking tribulations, and every Tribulation Taker had their weak point. Their foundations were unstable, there’s no way he could stand up against an old-school Earthly Immortal. Although the Vast Sea Emperor only had the power for three strikes, this was more than enough for facing someone like Zhou Bao.

But it was very clear that he had underestimated Zhou Bao’s power.

With the first strike, he had been quite relaxed, and Zhou Bao easily countered it. With his second strike, he adopted the fairy weapon versus fairy weapon method to break through his Heavenly Fairy Weapon Furnace of Immortality defense. He thought they were at the same level, but his fairy weapon had long taken shape, and Zhou Bao’s Heavenly Fairy Weapon was clearly newly cultivated. There was no way he could contend against his Elixir Furnace, and so he had miscalculated the outcome.

Zhou Bao’s Furnace of Immortality had a peculiar origin. It could not be compared with a normal Heavenly Fairy Weapon, and was not what an ordinary Heavenly Fairy Weapon could be imagined to be.

In addition, the device spirit of one Elixir Furnace was a real dragon. The device spirit of the other was a Dragon Chimera. The Vast Sea Emperor’s Heavenly Fairy Weapon was completely overcome by Zhou Bao. Not only was it defeated, but Zhou Bao got off relatively unscathed from the fight. One Elixir Furnace engulfed the other, and one device spirit engulfed the other, making his Furnace of Immortality suddenly much more powerful.

At this point, the Vast Sea Emperor knew that he could no longer regard Zhou Bao as any old schmuck, but as his greatest opponent. Meanwhile, he could only have the opportunity to seize back his fairy weapon if he killed him. And with the fairy weapon greatly increasing with power, he would not just stand back. He sought to kill Zhou Bao in a single strike.

Blood flows for a thousand miles due to an emperor’s wrath.

There was a loud boom, and Zhou Bao felt as if he had been run over by a heavy truck. All of his bones were instantly crushed under a tremendous force. His tendons and meridians were shattered to pieces, and even his internal Mysterious Icy Divine Light started to circulate extremely slowly.

“Boy, you have succeeded in making me angry. Just die!”

The darkness in the sky was replaced by deep blue, and the pressure of the heavens and earth exerted itself on Zhou Bao. The Flipping Sky Seal shattered under the force, and his Furnace of Immortality was unable to help him as it had just engulfed a Heavenly Fairy Weapon of its own class.

Zhou Bao felt himself becoming a dead leaf. He had no strength to counter the crushing force of the heavens and earth. He even felt that his already crushed skeleton would be pushed into his brain.

“I can’t. If it goes on like this, even if I don’t die I’ll be doomed forever.”

In a fit of anger, the Seven Wonderful Techniques was activated. The Immortal Body Technique urgently started to restore Zhou Bao. A strange curtain appeared in the dark blue heavens and earth. Zhou Bao’s body was crushed, reformed, crushed, and reformed again. In a very short time, it seemed as if a death cycle had formed. Zhou Bao was crushed and reformed countless times as the two opposing forces were in a deadlock.

“Damn it. You know the Immortal Body Technique!” Seeing Zhou Bao’s situation, of course, the Vast Sea Emperor could see what method he was using. He swore angrily.

Zhou Bao had unexpectedly practiced his Immortal Body Technique to almost its original state. And so the battle became a war of attrition, a real war of attrition. No matter how many times Zhou Bao was crushed, under the effect of the Immortal Body Technique, it was impossible to completely kill him. So the emperor could not complete his task. He had already lost a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, and this would cause him more trouble. No matter what, he could not accept this.

Therefore, he had to kill this guy. Zhou Bao had to die. Only then he could finally reduce his losses and have a chance to escape from his dark confinement, and only then would his troubles be resolved.

Considering this, he finally stopped holding back.

“Boy, you can only blame yourself for getting into this trouble!” The Vast Sea Emperor did not want to hold back on Zhou Bao any longer. The dark blue sky changed again, and the enormous pressure began to vanish. Zhou Bou felt the pressure abate, and his body completely reformed. After that, there was no more pressure.

“There’s no way this guy has used up all his power! He is a Great Ancient Emperor, it’s impossible he has so little endurance!”

As he stopped in astonishment, a spirit surged upwards so strong that made him tremble.

What was this?!

Yes, what was it?

This spirit was so mighty, it seemed it would split open the whole world!

Yes, split open. It was the spirit that split open the heavens and earth.

Zhou Bao could finally see the source of this spirit. He took a deep breath, and without thinking twice, retrieved his Furnace of Immortality that was still consuming his opponent’s energy. He activated his Great Way of Heavens and Realms, and with no concern about whether the surrounding space had unusual movements, he was transferred to another place. He forced the space open, he just wanted to get out of this damn place.

But his attempt was futile.

A huge dark blue axe appeared in the space. Under its shadow, a terrifying spirit pervaded within ten thousand miles. The axe came down, shaking the earth and heavens. It was the Heaven Realm World, not Zhou Bao, that would be split in half.

The Dark Blue Rage!

It was the Dark Blue Rage!

The spirit of the axe had already spread throughout the Heaven Realm World, through both its surface and its boundless spacetime.

The Celestial Mystery Emperors at cross-legged in an unremarkable space in the depths of the boundless spacetime. He was silently operating the Divine Design when he raised his eyebrows. “The Vast Sea has used the Dark Blue Rage. Could that guy really be in such difficulty?”

“The Dark Blue Rage. The Vast Sea Emperor used the Dark Blue Rage! It seems he really wanted Zhou Bao dead and gone. Dammit, Celestial Mystery Emperor, could you really have the confidence to survive this Tribulation of Heaven?” On Taihua Mountain, the Fate Creation Boy grew gloomy. To his side, the Lord of Heaven Black Turtle looked anxious.

“Are we just going to watch them kill Zhou Bao?”

“Don’t you worry. Zhou Bao is a Tribulation Taker, he won’t be so easy to kill!”

“Even if he is a Tribulation Taker, many have died taking tribulations! This time they are determined to kill Zhou Bao. Shouldn’t we do something?”

“There’s nothing we can do. We are not their opponents!” The Fate Creation Boy shook his head reluctantly. “What do you think we could do to thwart the Vast Sea Emperor? Could you block his Dark Blue Rage? Could I ?”

“This…!” The Lord of Heaven Black Turtle frowned heavily. Indeed, the Dark Blue Rage was the Vast Sea Emperor’s final weapon. Neither he nor the Fate Creation Boy could stop it. In fact, with his strength, if it was the real spirit of the Dark Blue Rage he would be ripped to pieces.

“Then we…!”

“Wait. Wait patiently. Zhou Bao has performed countless miracles before. This time, he can only count on himself.”

Indeed, this time, Zhou Bao could only count on himself. It was better to rely on himself than on others. Facing his own violent downfall, Zhou Bao knew that he had to make a choice.

“Now that things have reached this point, I can only look for myself!” Under the immense pressure, Zhou Bao formed one mantra after another with his hands. The forty-nine jade banners came flying out from under his sleeve, and beside him, a dense fog started to form.

The Yin and Yang Dust Formation!

But right now, Zhou Bao did not think that the Yin and Yang Dust Formation he had hastily formed could block the fierce attack of the Vast Sea Emperor. It had one purpose – to connect with the formation that would protect and maintain the Heaven Realm World.

He had deployed two Yin and Yang Dust Formations with his spirit. The small one was set up to connect to the Heaven Realm World.

The fog around him immediately grew thick. Zhou Bao’s whole body faded slightly.

The axe fell and cut savagely into the thick fog. The fog was instantly and neatly cut open. There was no resistance at all. However, just as the axe was about to come and cut Zhou Bao into pieces, a frenzied demon spirit emerged and formed a huge hand. It held up the axe blade, preventing it from falling.

“That’s the—!”

“Yin and Yang Dust Formation!”

“The real Yin and Yang Dust Formation!”

“This is the Devil Tribe Demon Blood Spirit that has accumulated over the past few months. Dammit, he really is going to use the Yin and Yang Dust Formation to block the attack!”

“He’s not going to use it. He has already used it!”

By now, strong thoughts were passing throughout the Heaven Realm World. They communicated with each other, each with its own different mood. Some were astonished, some regretful, some surprised, some admiring, some angry, and some happy. Yet others were alarmed.

A breach appeared in the sky above the Heaven Realm World, exposing the whole world to the hollow.

Outside the Heaven Realm World, the thick fog started to billow turbulently. It started to weaken and dissipate. A hole appeared going all the way into the Heaven Realm World. Endless Fierce Owls were hissing excitedly all along the hole, swarming into the Heaven Realm World.

“That damn bastard boy!” The Fate Creation Boy on Taihua Mountain suddenly stood up in alarm. But he soon sat back down.

“Okay, okay, okay! This is okay. Whatever happens, happens. I see how you guys should be dealt with!”

“Good man. You are really something!”

After the surprise, there was silence. With the power of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, Zhou Bao had successfully blocked the strike from the dark blue axe. The dark blue color in the sky rapidly dissipated, leaving only the raging Vast Sea Emperor.

The power for three strikes had passed, and the Heaven Realm Devil Tribulation was coming!
