Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 852: Attack

An old Chinese saying goes like this: a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunts.

Zhou Bao could not be counted as a ‘powerful dragon’ in the Immortal Realm. However, Wang She was an accurate representation of a local bully.

With Wang She’s help, Zhou Bao would be able to get through the Transmitting Formation quickly and arrive at the place near the ruins of Rock Cliff Sect. He could then enter the ruins and search for the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique. This was a pleasant surprise for Zhou Bao.

Okay, we should start moving, things like this cannot be delayed! I will go to the ruins of Rock Cliff Sect now. There should be a Transmitting Formation here in Red Flame City right?”

“Yes, of course! Although it is slightly run-down, it should be able to send you over to the larger cities. You can make use of those larger cities to get to the ruins!”. Wang She then withdrew a crystal card from his body.

“You’ve just reached the Immortal Realm and have nothing. There should be enough Zhu Huang Elixirs in this crystal card to let you splurge on some stuff!”

“Crystal card?” Zhou Bao took the crystal card that resembled a credit card. He laughed, “Thanks!”

“Don’t mention it!” Wang She nodded his head slightly. “You’re the Tribulation Taker, perhaps I may need your help to avoid the tribulation in the future!”

“You’ve inherited the Uniform Dao from Taoist Snake, shouldn’t it be easy for you to avoid the tribulation?!” Zhou Bao smiled. After asking for the location of the Transmitting Formation in Red Flame City, he got into position, ready to leave. At that exact moment when he was about to take off, a red light flashed from the Red Flame River. In the next instant, red light was splashed across the skies, enveloping the earth beneath it.

“Who is it?” Zhou Bao’s gaze shivered. He evolved into a straight sword light and shot for the canopy.

Pssst! He broke through the red canopy that stretched across the sky.

“Interesting!”

A gasp came from the Red Flame River. The red light that shone across the sky caused the surrounding space to compress and assimilate. It formed into a mountain range in mid-air, one that was completely made of red crystals. It fell violently onto the ground.

“Good timing!” By now, Zhou Bao was basically sure of who he was fighting against. His Mysterious Icy Divine Light had been activated and unlimited cold Qi poured from his body. It turned everything around Zhou Bao into deep blue fine powder.

Boom boom boom!

The Icy Divine Light and red crystal mountain collided with each other.

The red crystal mountain emitted several loud noises and collapsed in mid-air.

A giant red wave rolled up in the Red Flame River and turned into a giant God and Demon Statue. It roared, “Icy Divine Light?”

Roar!!!

The God and Demon roared violently and a red flame spewed forth from his mouth. The flame turned into numerous supernatural animals that were either Gods or Demons. They flew towards Zhou Bao as if to attack him.

“What a cheap trick!” Seeing the scene unfolding before his eyes, Zhou Bao started laughing. He lifted his hand and pointed. A dark golden big seal emerged from his fingertip and expanded. It pounced on the approaching supernatural animals.

Boom!

The heavens and earth shook!

The power of this seal was beyond expectation. It caused the surrounding space to fold inwards.

The power of the Flipping Sky Seal was incomparable. In the Void Universe, smashing a space was as easy as smashing a block of tofu. One could just do it randomly. However, this was not the Void Universe, it was the Immortal Realm.

The Law of Heaven and Earth was extremely strict. The strength of the space was stronger than that of the Void Universe by a million times. If the strength of the space in the Void Universe was akin to a block of tofu, then that in the Immortal Realm would be a rigid crystal solid made of diamond. Forget about hitting this solid, even getting it to vibrate temporarily would require an immense effort.

The Earthly Immortals in the Immortal Realm could not rip up the space and walk around like they were in the Void Universe, even if they might be proficient in using the Great Way of Heavens and Realms.

The Flipping Sky Seal caused the space to fold in, taking others by surprise. An important point to take note was that in the Immortal realm, the spaces were interconnected. Once a part folded in, it would affect the whole space in Red Flame City instantly.

Whoosh!!!

The heavens and earth shook as if the earth dragon was awakening. Due to the connection between the spaces, Red Flame City was almost overturned.

The practitioners from each tribe in Red Flame City flew upwards to avoid the disaster. Those with higher cultivation had it better, but those with lower cultivation had to put up with all the tremors and were greatly affected.

“I don’t care who or what you are, as long as you attack me first, I’ll not go easy on you!” Zhou Bao shouted and recalled the Flipping Sky Seal. He then smashed it into the Red Flame River with all his might..

Zhou Bao was incomparably strong in his attack. The opposite party was not keen on intercepting the attack of the Flipping Sky Seal, which could smash through the space. Instead, Zhou Bao’s opponent sent up a fire cloud from the Red Flame River. It surged for a while in the air before heading for the Flipping Sky Seal.

Whoosh!!!

The Flipping Sky Seal fell right onto the fire cloud as if landing on a fluffy marshmallow. Since it was so soft, there was no effect at all. Things did not just stop there. The fire cloud started rolling and encased the Flipping Sky Seal before throwing it into the Red Flame River.

“The Flipping Sky Seal is now being treated as a fairy weapon instead! Change of plans, Flipping Sky Seal, explode that shit!”

Zhou Bao could see that the fire cloud was a fairy weapon, but he also realized that it treated and acquired his Flipping Sky Seal as a fairy weapon. He could not help but laugh. The Flipping Sky Seal was where his Dharma power was concentrated, so it was not a fairy weapon of any sort. Of course, it was still under Zhou Bao’s control. Taking advantage of this, he immediately caused it to explode.

The Flipping Sky Seal was indeed not a fairy weapon. Its power was even weaker than a Taihao Fairy Weapon. When it exploded though, the destruction it caused was beyond even Zhou Bao’s expectations, much less everyone else’s.

With a loud boom, all the visible parts of the Red Flame River flipped over. A mushroom cloud sprouted above the Red Flame River. It shot up to 10,000 feet high and its strong impact formed a shapeless mass. When this force spread towards all corners, it seared everything above ground level, turning them into fine powder. Red Flame City was also leveled.

“Hey, could you give some warning before you unleash some big moves?”

There were many practitioners in Red Flame City and among them were some that had the cultivation of an Immortal. The practitioners who survived the explosion had at least the cultivation of a Human Immortal.

However, being a Human Immortal was the basic requirement to survive. Only Immortals avoided getting hurt. Wang She was one of them.

He was not injured, but had some dust on his face. With a flash, he appeared beside Zhou Bao and started to complain.

“Don’t rush, the real leader has yet to say anything!” Zhou Bao smiled. Indeed, the real leader of Red Flame River had yet to appear. However, Zhou Bao’s extremely sensitive spiritual mind could sense a monstrous anger brewing in the Red Flame River at the moment. It could explode anytime.

“Shit, shit! Kid, you’re so dead, I’m going to kill you! No, I’m going to rip your soul out of your body and burn it with the fire from my hands for 10,000 years! No, you have to be burned for 100,000 years, 1,000,000 years! I will let you suffer pain and torture forever!” An angry howl was finally heard after a moment. Following which, the whole Red Flame River coiled up like a long red dragon and headed for Zhou Bao.

“It’s an Upper Grade Taihao Fairy Weapon, we’re missing the device spirit!”

Facing his enemy with his monstrous powers, Zhou Bao merely narrowed his eyes and immediately saw through him. “Turning the whole Red Flame River into your fairy weapon! That’s a good method! But you will never defeat me merely by using these things!”

He pounced on the Red Flame River swiftly. Without using any fairy weapons, he gave it a good punch.

“Boom!!!”

The giant river split into two. The Icy Divine Light in his fist froze the burning river that was full of Dharma.

Bang, bang, bang!

Ear-piercing explosions rang in the air once again. It caused the frozen Red Flame River to splinter into numerous ice cubes.

Zhou Bao had no intention of taking it easy. He packed in successive punches and a series of loud bangs could be heard, causing the once-surging Red Flame River to collapse totally.

However, things were not as simple as they seemed. The Red Flame River had indeed been smashed into pieces, but suddenly a big golden web fell from the sky. The scariest part about this was that an odd-shaped spider was sitting on top of this web and controlling it. The web was headed for Zhou Bao.

At this exact moment, Zhou Bao was dealing with the Red Flame River. Although he caused the river to scatter, the golden Dharma flowing in the river created some trouble for. It distracted him so much so that he did not notice anything wrong when the web first appeared. When he finally noticed something, the web had already dropped.

Heavenly Fairy Weapon, Locust Tree Spider Web!

“Well done, Red Flame Emperor! As the Crown Prince, I will speak about your good work in front of my Father!”
