Chapter 841: The Upcoming Opening of the Passageway to the Immortal Realm

Regardless of how many moves the opponent used, Zhou Bao ‘s Black Pearl would respond with only one move—crushing the enemy to death!
The Celestial Mystery Emperor knew Zhou Bao had great luck and even carried around several precious treasures, including a Supreme Fairy Weapon. But he never really believed he had to treat Zhou Bao seriously.
He had a Supreme Fairy Weapon, so what?
It was just a bluff. Being a Great Ancient Emperor, a highly prestigious Earthly Immortal, and the strategist of the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Mystery Emperor had seen all sorts of treasures.
Thus, a Supreme Fairy Weapon merely could deter some low-leveled Earthly Immortals who had not seen the world. How could it be a big deal?
When the Celestial Mystery Emperor was doing his flawless calculation, could he have failed to consider the influence of the Supreme Fairy Weapon?
No, he could not have made such a mistake.
He must have calculated it as well. But he might have misjudged the power of Zhou Bao’s Supreme Fairy Weapon.
In his calculation, even a complete Supreme Fairy Weapon would not be too powerful, at least not superior to his Apricot Color Flag. One was a Supreme Fairy Weapon that had just been refined, the other one was a Heavenly Fairy Weapon that the ancient and mysterious Celestial Immortal Taoist Jin, the creator of the Void Immortal Realm, had used in stabilizing the Central Star Area. With one glance, anyone would know which one would prevail. How could anything go wrong?
Unfortunately, he did not know that many things beyond his calculation would be happening right now.
Maybe the Black Pearl on its own could not defeat the Apricot Color Flag, but when it integrated with a fragment of the Ancient Sacred City, absorbed the essential Dharmas of two macro worlds, and produced the Reincarnation Roulette, the Black Pearl reached a phase second only to that of the Ancient Sacred City. Indeed, it was new and not mature enough yet, but its potential was indisputable, and its power should never have been underestimated. Although the Apricot Color Flag was the highest-class Heavenly Fairy Weapon, it was still difficult for it to repress the Black Pearl. Above all, this Heavenly Fairy Weapon did not belong to the Celestial Mystery Emperor, because he had not finished the refining. Thus, the Heavenly Fairy Weapon was merely cooperating with the Celestial Mystery Emperor. It would never sacrifice itself to defeat the Black Pearl for him.
What was more, every time when the Celestial Mystery Emperor urged the Apricot Colour Flag to fight, he had to pay a price. Today, being caught off guard, he paid a huge price.
After the Black Pearl’s surprise attack, the connection between him and the Apricot Color Flag was almost cut off. When the device spirit of the Apricot Color Flag saw the aggressive Black Pearl, it was so shocked it let out a yell “What an aggressive bull!”. After that, the Apricot Color Flag lifted the barrier and unfolded itself, allowing the Black Pearl to regain its freedom.
This result also amazed Zhou Bao. Only Ghost Child was inured to the unusual scene. “Fine, let’s go, you’ve already got your benefits. If you don’t leave now, I’m afraid those Great Emperors will join hands to attack you!”
Zhou Bao was a smart guy. Of course, he knew he should not be too greedy. Now that he had gained great benefit, it was time to take off.
Hence, after getting rid of the Apricot Colour Flag, he urgently prompted the Black Pearl to depart. It then turned into a jet of pitch dark light and soared out of sight, leaving the Celestial Mystery Emperor roar with wrath and his Divine Awareness plague that space.
“Hee hee, now, the Celestial Mystery Emperor might kick the bucket for being angry with me!”
“He won’t. Though he is easily angered, I tell you, his anger will only last a few minutes. Soon, he’ll calm down and try to find a way to deal with you!” Ghost Child said. “You have to be careful. After this incident, I think the Celestial Mystery Emperor is going to place all his attention on you. Trouble is around the corner!”
“Relax, I won’t give him a chance!”
“I don’t know why you’re so confident. In antiquity times, no one he targeted had a decent ending!”
“Then, let me see whether you can escape unscathed from the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s plot or not!”
“Humph, he has done such an intricate calculation, I’ll just stay out of his calculation. If he targets me, I will just kill him before he is able to do so. Isn’t that the best option?” Zhou Bao thought about this for a moment and a vicious smile flitted across his face. “His plan has been thoroughly thwarted. He and the Devil Tribe both suffered. He won’t have any spare time to attend to me. Such being the case, why don’t I attend to him first?”
“You’re going to make a move?”
“After losing the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower, the passageway to the Void Immortal Realm already lost its protection. Losing the Child-endowing Buddha also cost them the base for their calculation. Although the Devil Tribe lost a Supreme Fairy Weapon, technically, they didn’t suffer much. As long as they have more resources to replenish the current ones, everything will become simple. They can totally destroy the Heaven Realm World with their large numbers. Do you think I’ll give the Celestial Mystery Emperor and his lot any chance to turn things around?”
“Right, it won’t be easy for the Celestial Mystery Emperor to turn things around. But if you say they’ve received a crushing defeat, that isn’t true!” Ghost Child said with composure. “They had one plan ruined. It’s not a big deal. Worst case scenario, they will retreat and remain dormant. Moreover, do you believe the Void Immortal Realm passageway will fall straight into the hands of the Devil Tribe now that the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower has been destroyed? And the Devil Tribe will fully control the passageway leading to the Void Immortal Realm?”
“I don’t know. But no matter what, go to have a look won’t hurt!” Zhou Bao smiled. He scooped the upgraded Black Pearl and wheeled around, flying in the direction of the Heaven Realm World.
“Kid, you’re really bold!” Ghost Child could not help but voice his praise. Zhou Bao had just upset the Celestial Mystery Emperor, yet he still dared to go back to the Heaven Realm World.
“I’m not bold. I merely made a correct assessment of the situation. I know it won’t be dangerous to return to the Heaven Realm World at the moment. Don’t forget that I have the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill to conceal myself!”
The Celestial Mystery Emperor had no idea that Zhou Bao had been at a high level of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. But this did not hinder him from doing an accurate prediction of Zhou Bao’s next move. Sure enough, as Ghost Child assumed, the Celestial Mystery Emperor let go of his rage in no time and recovered his composure. Now, he had perfectly calmed down, not wearing a trace of his furious look.
“That brat certainly hasn’t left for good. His absence is temporary. He’ll definitely be back in the next three days!” The Celestial Mystery Emperor paused for a second, and then he continued, “He is likely planning to profit from the sufferings of both us and the Devil Tribe. And he has the ability to do so too!”
After losing to Zhou Bao once, he had to admit that Zhou Bao was tricky to tackle and a powerful match.
“It’s bound to happen. But if he underestimates you, he will certainly die a tragical death!” Emperor Youming said, pondering over the situation. “Plus, our power is also beyond his expectation. I don’t think he will dare to make a reckless strike!”
“Of course he won’t. He will do it when we and the Devil Tribe both suffer a great loss and the situation becomes clear!” The Celestial Mystery Emperor said in a cold voice, his eyes glinting with resentment. “All he has got are just those means and tricks. Previously I failed to take him seriously. And that is my fault. But now, he has pissed me off and ruined my big plan, I naturally won’t go easy on him. How long do you reckon he can stay alive?”
“Then what should we do?” Seeing the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s chilling expression, Emperor Youming was alarmed.
“Humph, first fix the problem here, and then, deal with that brat. The Immortal Realm passageway is the most critical issue. We can’t let that brat ruin our entire mission. Although the Devil Tribe lost the Endless Blood Sea, we also lost the Sea-overlooking Gate Tower. Just watch. Soon, the Devil Tribe will break in like a flood!”
“You’re really going to give up the passageway?”
“Not giving it up, just leave it here for the moment. The passageway is not easy to take. Even if the Devil Tribe occupies it, do they have the ability to master it? How about Marquis Zhihai? Humph, no matter how sharp he is, I bet he’ll feel helpless in front of the passageway. Unless the Devil Tribe dispatch another mighty guy with the same rank as the Devil’s Emperor to enter the Heaven Realm World, they have no way to peep into the passageway’s secrets. This actually suits me well. Humph. Those guys, they really think that I can no longer operate the World Chakra after I lost the Child-endowing Buddha, don’t they?” “If I could not operate the World Chakra, how could I have concealed the passageway of the Void Immortal Realm for so long?”
“The Sea-overlooking Gate Tower is gone. It’s time to launch a full attack!” In the Devil Tribe, Marquis Wugu bellowed, his face red with excitement, his scarlet eyes glistening with fierceness.
A huge loss! The Devil Tribe had suffered a huge loss! The Endless Blood Sea had been destroyed. Their Supreme Fairy Weapon had been destroyed. How could he report this to the Master of the Blood Prison when he went back?
Thank god the Seven Marquises of the Blood Sea were just badly wounded instead of being fatally injured. This was the only fortunate thing out of the whole misery. This battle truly disgraced the Blood Prison. As the Blood Prison master, Marquis Wugu also had to take the blame. If he could not redeem his faults by making new achievements, even if he went back to the Devil Tribe, he would not be able to live a quiet life. At least, it was certain that he would not be able to appear before the Devil Tribe’s Blood Prison clan.
“Launch the full attack!” Marquis Zhihai sighed. “Since the war has developed to this extent, it’s already turned into a competition of determination. Let’s see who is more determined, us or the Celestial Mystery Emperor. Go to the Devil Realm at once and ask our Emperor to bring the Marquis Flood Dragon here. He has the bloodline of the Ghost Flood Dragon, a Primordial Fierce Beast. He can sense the changing state of the World Chakra. With him here, we’ll have one more guarantee. And we’ll be less likely to be tricked by Marquis Zhihai!”
“This—” Marquis Xuewu looked a bit dispirited. This defeat was a burning shame for him. He was really eager to get back to his enemy. But among the Seven Marquises of the Blood Sea, he was the most severely injured. If he went back to the Void Universe, Master of Blood Prison would not allow him to go back to the battlefield of the Void Universe. If so, he would lose a chance to redeem his fault. But he did not have the guts to disobey Marquis Zhihai’s order. After hesitating for a moment, he agreed reluctantly. “Marquis Flood Dragon is one of the Underworld Devil Clan, a very competent talent under the leadership of the Master of the Underworld Devil Clan. It’s not easy to require him to come here!”
“I’m not asking you to summon him. I just need you to tell His Majesty the current situation. He’ll dispatch the Marquis Flood Dragon here. The Underworld Devil Clan Master certainly wouldn’t say no to His Majesty, would he?” Marquis Zhihai added, “As for you, don’t worry! You’ll have many opportunities to earn more merits and offset your mistakes in the future!”
