Omnipotent Sage

Taiyuan Sage used to rob prodigies like Zhou Bao, who became famous at a very young age. He knew that people like Zhou Bao were lucky; if he slackened in any way, he would lose out. Therefore, once he obtained the things he wanted, he would never let go.

Seeing Zhou Bao struggling away, his face was like a mask as he moved his hands. Suddenly, all his fingers were coated with and smelt strongly of blood; He then smeared them on the Prison-suppressing Stele.

Stimulated by the smell of blood, the scratches on the grey monument started giving off an unearthly glow. The shadows of the monsters and supernatural animals floating about turned into solid bodies. They appeared in the space and rushed to attack Zhou Bao.

The twisted power in the space seemed to have no effect on these strange living creatures. When the real bodies of these living creatures entered the tortoise-shell space, those creatures increased in numbers and surged towards Zhou Bao.

“Why are there so many of them and why are they so strong?” Zhou Bao suddenly turned pale as he noticed what was happening. He looked around and found that these supernatural animals and monsters were everywhere. They were packed tightly together and were releasing huge surges of power as if trying to slice through the scattered lights from the Green Bamboo Stick. It was terrifying to see their strength. Some of them even possessed the powers of Level of True Immortality and were extremely strong.

The level of Genuine Immortals!

Even in the two great Star Areas, there had never been such an incident before, like what was happening in the space. It was as if thousands of Genuine Immortals had gathered together and they seemed to be good at what they were doing. When they marched together, they looked like an army unit.

Now Zhou Bao could not take it anymore. Though the Bronze Sceptre had been upgraded to a divine device of Middle Rank of Bronze from Low Rank of Bronze, it could barely withstand the attacks as many as the hairs on an ox. But it could not solve this dilemma. As the old saying goes, millions of ants could devour a huge elephant.

What about the strength between an elephant and an ant? It was beyond comparison. But if an elephant encountered a plague of ants, it would have no other choice but to run away.

A quantitative change would ultimately lead to a qualitative change, be it through an attacking force or defensive power.

The divine device of Zhou Bao was so powerful that it could manipulate the Golden Dharma Power at will. But when it was confronted with millions of desperate attacks, it could not stand up to them for long.

Even if this divine device succeeded in withstanding the attacks, Zhou Bao was not able to. He had only nine Dantians now, but even if had 90 Dantians, it would not be enough for him to defend himself.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Bao knew that he could no longer hide his strength. This weird space was creating such powerful living creatures. These living creatures were just like fish in water and their power had intensified to such an extent in this space that it was beyond his imagination.

When these living creatures were on the exterior of this space, they were just a bit terrifying due to their spirit. They could scare ordinary people but possessed no real strength. Once they came across someone stronger than them, they could do nothing. However, in this odd prison, everything changed. The strength of these creatures greatly increased in here. Zhou Bao figured out that it was the twisted power which was behind all these. Even though he knew what was going on, he still felt the fear inside him because he himself was also affected by the twisted power.

At this moment, he could not hide his strength any more. He knew that if he continued to conceal his strength, he would lose the battle.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Bao threw his Green Bamboo Stick into the air.

“God creates everything and controls the world. Anyone who offends the dignity of God will be imprisoned!”

At this moment, the scattered light from the Green Bamboo Stick shone brightly and formed four columns of light. These four columns immediately created an independent space inside the odd space and formed a golden prison.

Yes, a golden prison. This independent space, formed by four columns of light, trapped all the monsters and turned itself into a golden cage.

The prison was golden and looked quite luxurious from the outside. But Zhou Bao knew that it would not last long, because there were too many monsters in it. And this space was an extra space inside a space of others without any solid foundation. However, he had no time to worry about it as this prison was only a temporary measure.

Taiyuan Sage had two fairy weapons whose powers were beyond Zhou Bao’s imagination. Zhou Bao had nothing else but treasures. Now since the Furnace of Immortality had trapped the White Glazed Bead and the Green Bamboo Stick was able to block the attacks inside the prison-suppressing space, he could now show what he was truly capable of. A white light shot out behind his head and transformed into a short Natal Sword. Black-red Sword Qi was streaming out from that Natal Sword. A black-red sword light burst from it and ripped the world apart.

Swish!

The space under the Prison-suppressing Stele had been cut into half by this sword.

Taiyuan Sage clearly did not expect Zhou Bao to be that powerful. He only saw a mass of black-red Sword Qi rising and his eyes were overwhelmed by the sight.

No!

Taiyuan Sage was astounded and backed away abruptly. The Sword Qi was pursuing him relentlessly now, despite his breaking through numerous space-time barriers and the distance he had run. When the fatal killing intent and the terrifying murderous intent sliced through the space, it looked very much like a blade cutting through a piece of tofu. And its speed was faster than the speed he had used to break through the space. Now, as he was about to be caught, he clenched his teeth and spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

“Prison-suppressing Stele, protect me!”

With this roar, the Prison-suppressing Stele reappeared in front of him.

Boom!!!

The Sword Qi hit the Prison-suppressing Stele directly. Again the body of Taiyuan Sage retreated and he spat out blood on the Prison-suppressing Stele. And the stele gradually dimmed with its color turning to ash black from grey. The ancient etchings and the talismans on it were sparkling. The shadows of monsters around this stele vanished. It now looked like a normal stele.

The Prison-suppressing Stele was quite busy just now. Zhou Bao’s Green Bamboo Stick had activated a golden prison to trap those monsters. This stele would not give in to the Green Bamboo Stick. It kept transferring its powers to those monsters and fought against the Green Bamboo Stick. They were in a deadlock, like what happened between the Furnace of Immortality and the White Glazed Bead.

When Zhou Bao sliced open the space, the pneuma of the stele had been damaged. Taking advantage of its position, the stele was well-matched against the Green Bamboo Stick. However, it was like a fight between two martial experts using their internal forces. When one martial expert used all his powers, in the critical moment of the fight, he would end up damaging his pneuma. Now the stele had not only had its pneuma damaged but also suffered from the attack of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. What the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword contained was not the normal Sword Qi but the one of the congenital killing intent in the red gourd, a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. It was as powerful as a fairy weapon.

After being attacked by these two weapons, the Prison-suppressing Stele was finally defeated. This also caused Taiyuan Sage to be badly injured, as he was connected to the spirit of the stele.

“No! This is not what I expected!”

When confronted with this situation, Taiyuan Sage was inwardly astonished, but he did not show it. Instead, it seemed that he was encouraged by this sword attack and made up his mind. He roared with wrath and his face turned red. As his White Glazed Bead shone, the white lotus on it blasted off and shook off the Sky-burning Dragon Formation comprising of the Furnace of Immortality and Zhou Bao’s Second Primordial Spirit. Then it turned into a white light and disappeared between the eyebrows of Taiyuan Sage.

“Kid, I will not forget what happened today. Just wait and see!” Taiyuan Sage decided to leave. With the Prison-suppressing Stele as his protection, Taiyuan Sage went through millions of space-time and vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving the space around him shaking.

“You are not the one who determines the start or end of a fight! It is not that easy.” Zhou Bao sneered. A giant black hand appeared out of the sky and smashed the hollow. It was not like any black hand that had appeared before. There was a cyan light glowing on each finger, which made it look extremely creepy.

“Ah!”

In the hollow, Taiyuan Sage thought he had traveled far enough to escape captivity. When he saw the black hand, he did not think twice and threw out his Prison-suppressing Stele as though it was an invincible shield.

Boom!

The black Giant Void Hand grasped the stele tightly. The stele was crying and trembling. There was no way it could get away from this giant hand. But if sacrificing one fairy weapon would enable Taiyuan Sage to escape, it was worth doing so. Unfortunately, Taiyuan Sage was unable to flee. When the black Giant Void Hand got hold of the stele, five azure lights flashed from the fingertips of the giant hand and instantly transformed into an azure Qi, and stabbed Taiyuan Sage.

Although Taiyuan Sage had opened the Self-world, strangely, his Self-world could not block off the azure Qi. He was paralyzed and intense pain overwhelmed him. He had never felt such pain in his life. And he had never felt every part of his body hurting like this; his Eight Extraordinary Meridians itched and every bone in his body ached. It was not any normal pain. Even though he was a Seven-Tribulation Lord of Heaven, he couldn’t help crying out in pain. He stopped moving and his body went into violent spasms.

The black Giant Void Hand was turned into innumerable streaks of black Qi and trapped the damaged Prison-suppressing Stele, so that Zhou Bao was able to pocket it. Zhou Bao was happy that he had obtained two fairy weapons this time. Just when he was about to get Taiyuan Sage out of the way, he heard a loud noise.

Clang! A black iron ruler dashed out from the hollow, hit the black Giant Void Hand and shattered it. Although the hand reassembled immediately, the Prison-suppressing Stele had vanished.
