“Boy, be patient, just hang on, hang on for one more second. Zhou Bao, your combat capability is way stronger than this!” When he heard Zhou Bao’s roars, Ghost Child put on a calm and composed face and gave him this advice. “Take time to feel what the power of an Earthly Immortal is like. If you want to step into the way of the Earthly Immortal, your experience of facing up to an Earthly Immortal will be very good for you!”

“Easier said than done!” Zhou Bao was so angry that he almost wanted to snap at Ghost Child. What he just advised was so useless and irresponsible. Take some time to feel the power? But Zhou Bao feared that one more palm attack from this Earthly Immortal would crumble his Real Body of Zhuyan. How could he take time now?

The only thing he could do at the moment was to combine the Mysterious Icy Divine Light with the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill. Wrapped in an aura of dark blue air, he concentrated all his energy to bombard the external facade.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!”

Facing such a desperate situation, Zhou Bao devoted all his attention into pumping his divine thoughts into his fist intent. Every punch he launched contained a virtual universe, and the power of each of his attacks was fatal enough to rip apart all the practitioners who ranked below the Earthly Immortal Realm.

However, the opponent Zhou Bao was facing was an Earthly Immortal. Although this Earthly Immortal had just entered the Earthly Immortal Realm and had yet to completely consolidate his power, the force this Earthly Immortal just demonstrated was already too powerful for him to deal with.

“Interesting, really interesting! You are able to integrate the entire universe into your fist intent! But unfortunately, boy, your ambition is too lofty and too wild. You may be able to trigger a part of the mightiest power in the Void Universe, but since your ranking is very limited, you can’t make full use of this power even though you may use it to hurt me. What a pity! What a pity!”

The Earthly Immortal sighed softly, and flipped his palm in the air and pressed his hand directly at Zhou Bao

The power of an Earthly Immortal was beyond the imagination of any ordinary practitioner. No one below the Earthly Immortal phase could possibly contend with it.

When the palm pressed relentlessly on him, Zhou Bao knew he was in real trouble. If he was hit by this palm, even if he did not die, he would be imprisoned in the hand for all eternity and would never have a chance to break free.

“You come out now!”

Precisely because he detected the danger of being perpetually repressed, Zhou Bao threw his scruples to the wind and hastily brought out the red gourd inside him.

Together with his howl, a jet of red light rose from the back of his head and shot towards the palm falling from the sky.

At first, the Earthly Immortal from Eastern Thunder Sect did not take Zhou Bao’s attack seriously. In his eyes, this was merely a last-ditch effort he was making.

However, when the red light landed on him, he suddenly sensed that something was very wrong.

A piercing chill permeated his heart. This red light did not actually touch him, but his body already felt like it had been thoroughly impaled. This light penetrated his body and his essence, cutting off his Earthly Immortal phase.

“Impossible!” He let out a weird yell. Even an Earthly Immortal with years of consolidated power would be afraid of this eccentric force; one might get into trouble once he was tainted with this force, let alone this newly developed Earthly Immortal.

“What the hell is this? How did this kind of power come into being?” Right now, he had caught a clear view of what the red light really was—a full red gourd. The spout of this gourd was open, ejecting a fine jet of red light. Meanwhile, a child, who was apparently a device spirit, was staring at his palm with a devious smile.

“Device spirit! Heavenly Fairy Weapon! You have a Heavenly Fairy Weapon!”

The Earthly Immortal could not stifle his hysterical cries anymore.

The Taihao weapon, the Heavenly weapon, and the Supreme weapon were three ranks of fairy weapons.

The most common one was the Taihao Fairy Weapon. But normally, an Earthly Immortal would merely have several top-level Taihao Fairy Weapons. After all, an ordinary Taihao Fairy Weapon was enough to enable an Earthly Immortal to injure another Earthly Immortal at the same rank, let alone a top-level Taihao Fairy Weapon.

Accordingly, even to an Earthly Immortal, a Heavenly Fairy Weapon was something that he could come by only through sheer luck.

Of course, if you have enough patience and luck, you could also upgrade your Taihao Fairy Weapon to a Heavenly Fairy Weapon by fostering the device spirit of the Taihao Fairy Weapon. But that required a lot of time and a large amount of energy as well as resources. Hence, only those ancient and powerful Earthly Immortals could own one Heavenly Fairy Weapon, and this Heavenly Fairy Weapon was the natal magic weapon that would accompany them for life.

Despite the long history of Eastern Thunder Sect and their standing rule over Eastern Thunder World, Eastern Thunder Sect had not acquired any Heavenly Fairy Weapon yet. All they had were several Taihao Fairy Weapons.

And this Earthly Immortal, a Patriarch of Eastern Thunder Sect, was also considering which Taihao Fairy Weapon he should choose in order to develop a Heavenly Fairy Weapon as his own natal magic weapon.

“Fantastic, fantastic! You just offered me what I need! Now, this Heavenly Fairy Weapon is mine!” At the sight of the red gourd, the Earthly Immortal suddenly turned his jealousy into great joy. Then, he stretched out his hand and conjured up innumerable shadows of his hand, which grabbed at the gourd.

“You’re such an idiot! Do you really believe I’m just an ordinary Heavenly Fairy Weapon?” Seeing the hand reaching for him, Ghost Child laughed coldly. “Though I can’t exercise much energy from the main body, I have the power which I absorbed from the fragments of the Immortal-slaying Sword not long ago. That dumbass knew nothing about the essence of the Immortal-slaying Sword, so it tried in vain to produce a Natal Sword out of it anyway. But unlike him, I’ve been coveting the power of the Immortal-slaying Sword for years!”

“Whoosh!”

Bright red Sword Qi rushed out of the fine red light and soared to the sky, decisively hacking away at the approaching huge hand.

“Swish, swish, swish!”

The seemingly invincible hand belonging to the Earthly Immortal turned out to be totally useless in resisting the Sword Qi. In the bright red sword light, it was reduced to the original pneuma. But before it could get away, the Sword Qi sucked it in.

“Hahaha, the essence Qi of an Earthly Immortal! No, it’s not enough, not rich enough. I merely absorbed the pneuma in your hand. Now, I need your body, your whole body!” Ghost Child was laughing wildly. The fine red light cut open the space in a second and traveled to the depths of the vast hollow. Shots of red Sword Qi derived from the red light, and everything stabbed along the direction of the fine red light.

“What is this? It is—”

Unbelievable, it was so unbelievable!

This Patriarch of Eastern Thunder Sect thought that he had seen it all. But this kind of exceptional fairy weapon was something he had never encountered. In fact, right now what worried him most was not this fairy weapon but the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi.

This was not some attack from Zhou Bao or any other mediocre stuff. This was an extremely unusual power that could kill a Celestial Immortal. Even a sophisticated Earthly Immortal who was about to enter the Celestial Immortal Realm would suffer grievously under the attack of this Sword Qi, let alone this Earthly Immortal with immature powers.

“Immortal-slaying Sword Qi! This is impossible! How could you have the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi? How were you able to operate it?” Frantic growls sounded from the depths of the hollow and jets of dreadful forces and Dharma power fluctuations began to shrink.

Meanwhile, Eastern Thunder World also started changing in a weird fashion. All the pneuma were sucked up in an instant, including both the essence of the world and the essence of earth veins.

The originally pneuma-abundant vigorous Eastern Thunder World suddenly withered. After all the essence of the world and the Qi of earth veins were depleted, the next thing being extracted was the endless spacetime around Eastern Thunder World.

One second, everything happened in just one second!

Eastern Thunder World became a vast planet without any trace of pneuma, just like the other vast planets in the Void Universe. In addition to some extremely highly cultivated practitioners, only the Devil Tribe survived. After losing the protection of the pneuma and the endless spacetime, all the other creatures died.

Eastern Thunder World, the foundation of Eastern Thunder Sect, was gone.

“Bravo! You really are an Earthly Immortal! To protect yourself and push the growth of your macro world, you absorbed so much power in such a short spell! However, all your efforts are futile. Even a fully developed Earthly Immortal is not my match, not my match at all!

Ghost Child’s voice grew strangely excited as if he had been provoked. As the owner of this Heavenly Fairy Weapon, Zhou Bao also sensed that the red light sent from the gourd was sucking in some eccentric power as it traveled forward with the surrounding Immortal-slaying Sword Qi. This power was essentially comprised of various negative feelings: terror, shock, suspicion, etc.

In contrast to intangible feelings of ordinary people, those feelings were actually substantiated and was sucked in by the red gourd at a furious pace.

“Those were the feelings of the Earthly Immortal! Why did he have such feelings? What on earth is the matter with him?” Zhou Bao’s mind raced with countless thoughts. Suddenly, an amazing picture flitted across his eyes. He saw that the fine red light in the gourd finally broke the hollow and extended to an unknown space. This space was empty, except for a white-clothed Elder sitting in the air. The hair and beard of this Elder were all white, but his face was tender and rosy, which made his complexion look like a child’s. But right now, this ruddy-faced, wise-looking old man was thoroughly terrified, and the fine red light transfixed between his eyebrows, forced him to stay put. Then, myriads of red Sword Qi accompanied the red light and pierced through his eyebrows. Thereafter, much the same like Eastern Thunder World, his body also started to wither. In the end, he turned into a heap of dust, while the space he stayed in fell apart.

Simultaneously, Zhou Bao felt an enormously rich power pouring into the red gourd. Though this stream of power seemed colossal to him, it was nothing for the red gourd. The red gourd swallowed all the power with one gulp, leaving not a single bit for Zhou Bao.

“Well, it’s not going to work. This guy is just an ordinary Earthly Immortal. He has just stepped into the Earthly Immortal, so he is not very useful to me!” Ghost Child said, wiping his mouth. His expression was quite delighted, but you could tell he was still unsatisfied.
