Chapter 854: The Killing Tribulations and Seizing Control of Fate
The Immortal Realm, Mowen Valley!
A brute dressed in golden attire was livid with rage. Endless bolts of lightning wrapped around him as he stared fiercely at several people in front of him. “Who are you people and why are you attacking me?” A brute dressed in golden attire was livid with rage. Endless bolts of lightning wrapped around him as he stared fiercely at several people in front of him. “Who are you people and why are you attacking me?”
“Huang Lei is a Tribulation Taker of the Northernmost Sea macro world. He acquired all of my Northern Dao from the Three Devil Deities and inherited one of the Creation Deities of remote antiquity, the Strength of Calmness. I doubt he inherited the Hell Divine Palace of the Three Devil Deities. He had the power to break into the Earthly Immortal realm three years ago. Is what the Divine Prince said correct?” The young man standing in front of Huang Lei, dressed in brocade clothing said nonchalantly, “Of course, you are a tribulation taker. You must have adventures that ordinary people do not know about, and you must have some special methods. Am I right?”
“Who are you people?”
Huang Lei felt like he was going crazy. As the Tribulation Taker of the Northernmost Sea macro world, you could say his life had been smooth sailing all this while. He had never encountered any great dangers before. He just went on one adventure after another and his power increased quickly. No matter what difficulties and obstacles he encountered, he was always able to turn them to his own advantage. He seemed to live by the maxim “calamity is always followed by good luck”. But this time he was filled with a panic he had never experienced before.
Heaven Realm World had been rediscovered and the passageway to the Immortal Realm was once again clear. The Void Universe attracted all the attention in the Immortal Realm. Many Earthly Immortals from the Northernmost Sea had tried to get into the legendary Immortal Realm through the passageway to enhance their own strength, but unfortunately, very few could successfully hide from the Devil Tribe’s watchful eyes. Huang Lei was one of them.
Originally, he thought that he was lucky enough to get numerous and better chances in the Immortal Realm than in the Void Universe and that he would acquire additional strength there. But he hadn’t considered that once inside he would gain great benefits from the nearby seemingly limitless Dharma. However, he had no time to absorb it. Then he encountered the self-proclaimed Crown Prince who wanted to kill him.
But Huang Lei was not afraid. In the Void Universe, he had run into countless men who had wanted to kill him. But with his boundless luck he always managed to escape, unharmed but shaken. But this time was different.
“Getting ten Earthly Immortals to come and kill me. Isn’t that a bit of an overkill?”
“Overkill?” The guy in the brocade clothing was the leader. He closed his folding fan and a mocking smile flashed across his handsome face. “There’s no other way. Who made you a Tribulation Taker? And the main Tribulation Taker of the Dharma Ending Tribulations at that? Your luck is so profound that we would not have come for you unless we were absolutely prepared for everything.”
“What would you gain from killing me?” Huang Lei looked even more resentful as he listened to this so-called Crown Prince.
“If we kill you, we can seize your fate and we will then become the new Tribulation Takers instead of you. What do you think, is it worth it?”
“What?” Huang Lei looked angry. “Seize my fate, become the new Tribulation Takers? How is that possible?”
“How is it not possible?” The young man in brocade clothing smiled. “This Tribulation Taker’s luck is indeed profound, but do you really think it is a type of amulet? Not only are you able to take tribulation after tribulation and come out alive, but you can also withstand the tribulation difficulties. Only if you get through these difficulties can you be considered a true Tribulation Taker, otherwise, you are just a lucky man!”
“Very well, then!” Huang Lei finally understood, but it was a little too late. Dozens of spirits appeared around him. Each one approaching him looked to be at least Earthly Immortal-level Emperors.
“So, who actually are you? You seem able to mobilize so many Earthly Immortals. Even in the Immortal Realm, it would not be possible to send out so many.”
“I am the Second Crown Prince, the Jade Emperor!” The guy raised his head with a lofty expression. “By order of the Jade Emperor Sage, I have come to remove Tribulation Takers!”
“Kill the Tribulation Taker and seize his fate!”
The Immortal Realm and the Red Flame River!
Zhou Bao was high up in space, his cyan robe flapping violently in the wind. In front of him was a thunder pool about ten feet wide with thunder water churning furiously inside. Several thunder dragons surged under the surface. In the water, there was a net billowing up and down with the movement of the water. There were also two figures emitting a scattered light which stopped the thunder water from corroding. Above the pool were two device spirits. The Pool of Thunder Tribulation spirit was about a hundred feet tall and in its hand, it clutched an abnormally shaped spider. This spider was the device spirit of the Locust Tree Spider Web.
The Locust Tree Spider Web, a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, had no power to hit back against the might of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and was tightly suppressed by the device spirit. But the Jade Emperor Crown Prince owned the Red Flame River. The Red Flame emperor had already turned into the two figures in the Thunder Pool.
“How can The Thunder Emperor’s Pool of Thunder Tribulation be in your hands? How are you able to refine the Pool of Thunder Tribulation? Dammit! Dammit! It’s not possible! How could this happen?” The Jade Emperor Crown Prince panted with rage in the Thunder Pool. His face was no longer handsome and had a sinister look on it. At first, he had been confident in coming to deal with Zhou Bao. Although Zhou Bao was a Tribulation Taker with lots of skills, with the fairy weapon the Jade Emperor Sage had given him and the help of the Red Flame Emperor, the Crown Prince thought he could easily suppress him and prevent him from reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm. But he had not foreseen that things could get as ugly as they were now.
It was really bad. There were countless strategies he had not fully used, especially the several strategies to restrain Zhou Bao. But now he was suppressed by the Pool of Thunder Tribulation that Zhou Bao had suddenly used on him. So he was sullen, very sullen.
“Whatever you call it, it’s useless!” Zhou Bao looked coldly at the unruly Crown Prince in the pool. He played out his fingers and made a grab for him. The thunder water suddenly surged and the Crown Prince and the Red Flame Emperor’s protective scattered light were visibly dimmer, particularly the Red Flame Emperor’s.
“What are you going to do?”
He was struck by an overwhelming sense of panic. “You dare to kill me!”
“So what if I kill you?” Zhou Bao laughed sinisterly. The device spirit above the Pool of Thunder Tribulation let out a low roar and stuffed the Locust Tree Spider Web into its mouth. It squeaked loudly as it chewed. As it swallowed, the large net in the Thunder Pool was split apart by the water and turned into pure energy which the pool absorbed.
“No—!” The Red Flame Emperor bellowed in rage. The scattered light which had weakened until it was barely discernible, exploded violently.
“It’s simply preposterous to want to detonate a macro world under the suppression of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation!” When he realized his opponent’s plan, Zhou Bao laughed sinisterly. The several thunder dragons in the Thunder Pool wound themselves around Red Flame Emperor, opened their fearsome mouths and ripped him apart. The Earthly Immortal Red Flame Emperor was ripped to shreds and even his fairy weapon and macro world were liquidated by the thunder.
Roar!!!!
An Earthly Immortal was gone. The power of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation rose by a level. As a device spirit, it was obviously very happy. It looked upwards and emitted a long hiss as Ghost Child watched enviously.
“This guy is worth it. An Earthly Immortal that can refine this type of Thunder Pool? An Earthly Immortal with a macro world, infinite resources and a magic weapon? How could you let him off so lightly?”
“I already have enough things. Resources, a magic weapon and even a macro world would be no use to me now.” Zhou Bao smiled. “They were all used to increase the Thunder Pool’s power, which is hardly in my interest!”
“Then why don’t you send a few Earthly Immortals for me to refine?”
“Hmph. If I kill this Jade Emperor Crown Prince, do you think you won’t get many Earthly Immortals to refine?” Zhou Bao snorted and spoke sternly.
“What, are you really going to kill the Jade Emperor Crown Prince? He’s the Jade Emperor Sage’s son, a Celestial Immortal! Do you really think you want to offend him?”
“Since he’s come to kill me, he would naturally be aware of the possibility of being killed by me, no matter who his father is!” Zhou Bao said without a care. He had never had a good impression of this Crown Prince’s party, even less now that the Crown Prince wanted to kill him.
“You had better let me go. Do you still dare to hurt me? I am a Jade Emperor Crown Prince. If you hurt me, my father will never let you go, you—!” Seeing the Red Flame Emperor refined by the Thunder Pool, the Crown Prince who had until now been unconcerned, had finally started to panic.
“Of course, I won’t hurt you, I only want to kill you. If you tell me the Dark Garbha-mandala Canopy incantation, I will make you very happy. Otherwise, I will put your primordial spirit into the Elixir Furnace and you will be tortured day and night in the refining fires!” Zhuo Bao said in a completely calm tone. The only thing the Jade Emperor had that he coveted was the Dark Garbha-mandala Canopy. This was a unique Primordial Origin Divine Sense passed onto him. His prestige was almost at the Seven Wonderful Techniques. The only shortfall was that his capabilities were too narrow, with only a Divine Sense specifically used to seal.
And right now Zhou Bao lacked this sealing Divine Sense and a Divine Sense of such a high level had suddenly appeared. Of course, he would have thought up every possible means of seizing it from the Jade Emperor.
“You are crazy, really crazy. You dare to tell me that you will kill me! I am a Jade Emperor Crown Prince, the most respected person of the Immortal Realm. You actually dare to kill me!” The Crown Prince was so stunned by what Zhou Bao said that he could not speak coherently.
