Omnipotent Sage-Chapter 873 - The Chaotic Poisonous Sea

Chapter 873: The Chaotic Poisonous Sea

The Emperor of Netherworld was confused right now. But what happened had already happened. Although it was something unexpected, he could do nothing about it.

“Forget it. This is the end of it. Your fate is strong enough to affect Celestial Immortals like me. Even though I’m a new one, it still proves that your fate is really extraordinary. At the same time, we can see that this Dharma Ending Tribulation will be extremely horrible like never before!”

Zhou Bao’s expression changed. Although a Tribulation Taker had his own fate, he was still only a Tribulation Taker. If the tribulation was too strong, he would be the first to suffer.

Seeing Zhou Bao growing a little depressed, the Emperor of Netherworld sighed and said, “This has become very complicated. The Dharma Ending Tribulation is coming. Brat, since you are in the Immortal Realm, you’d better buckle down and be careful!”

“I don’t want to cause trouble. But since it has already happened and Jade Emperor Palace now sees me as a mortal enemy, I have a request to ask and I hope you don’t mind!”

“I won’t mind. You want to go to the Chaotic Poisonous Sea or the Eye of the Storm, don’t you?”

“Yes, but—!”

“I’ll send you there. I’ve already offended Jade Emperor Palace and I don’t mind doing it again. Anyway, I’m leaving the Void Immortal Realm soon. Hehe! There are so many problems here. Had I known this, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place!” Before he had finished speaking and with no warning at all, the space around Zhou Bao began to shake violently. The surroundings changed completely within seconds.

“This is it. The old bastard’s Chaotic Poisonous Sea. But I should remind you that this is his territory and you need to behave yourself. You’ve already offended Jade Emperor Palace and you don’t want to offend this one, as well!”

“How can I do that?” Zhou Bao smiled bitterly. “I don’t have the nerve to offend Celestial Immortals anymore!”

A Celestial Immortal was not someone to be trifled with. Zhou Bao had a profound understanding about it. Even a top Earthly Immortal, like Emperor An, was not to be offended by someone like him.

Were it not for the Emperor of Netherworld, he would have been a dead man already. How would he ever dare to offend other Celestial Immortals again?

The Emperor of Netherworld flashed a quick smile. He didn’t want to interfere anymore. He was a Celestial Immortal, whose strength and vision was far beyond that of Zhou Bao. If Zhou Bao had killed all the Tribulation Takers and taken their fates, he might have the ability to affect Celestial Immortals. But the fact was that he didn’t finish off the Second Crown Prince of the Jade Emperor, let alone loot his fate. Even if he looted his fate, it only counted for half, which was nothing in the eyes of Celestial Immortals. He would not get anywhere, neither would he be a threat to them.

Since it was not fate, it must be man-made.

Someone didn’t want Zhou Bao to die and didn’t want his identity revealed either. He secretly influenced the fate with his own power and quietly changed the life of a Celestial Immortal. This was no ordinary means. Only legendary ancient Celestial Immortals, such as Taoist Jin and Taoist Reincarnation, were capable of doing this.

The Emperor of Netherworld was a Celestial Immortal now. He had nothing more to ask for in his life and would not encounter any other danger. The Reincarnation Scroll had been sent out and there were no unfinished things for him. Would such a figure be willing to be involved in this dubious matter?

Of course not. He wouldn’t even warn Zhou Bao on this matter. He was kind enough to send Zhou Bao into the Chaotic Poisonous Sea.

Certainly, Zhou Bao was not aware of this. Even if he was, he wouldn’t be able to get any information from a Celestial Immortal. Instead, he kept thanking the Emperor of Netherworld.

The Chaotic Poisonous Sea was one of the three great influences in the Immortal Realm. The Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage, one of the three powerful Celestial Immortals, had been practicing here. All practitioners, including some ancient Earthly Immortals, knew that this Celestial Immortal had been hiding in the Chaotic Poisonous Sea. But since the antiquity times, even in the ancient times, he had never shown up in the Immortal Realm. No one had ever seen him.

Even though he had disappeared from the public, no one dared to explore the Chaotic Poisonous Sea. This was an empty barren land. The water in the sea was strong enough to poison Earthly Immortals. Besides, who knew if the old guy was in a closed-door training?

Through millions of years, practitioners in the Immortal Realm never came close to this place, unless it was really necessary.

Thus, the Chaotic Poisonous Sea was desolated. There was no other sound in this place except the sound of the sea.

Even Zhou Bao couldn’t withstand such an environment. But he had his strategy. In fact, this was why he chose this place instead of the Eye of the Storm.

The Eye of the Storm was the Gale Sage’s territory. But many practitioners and influences there had close contact with the Immortal Realm. It was easy to be found out if he went there. The Chaotic Poisonous Sea, on the contrary, was forbidden ground for practitioners. Zhou Bao had the Primordial Poison Spirit, whose core was the Elixir Poison of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast. It was so natural for the Poison Spirit to be in this poisonous sea, like a duck in the water. As to his body and the other two primordial spirits, they hid inside the Supreme Fairy Weapon, the Black Pearl, to recuperate and build up their strength. He had to do this, because he had been severely wounded and was in desperate need of rest, even though he looked rather energetic while talking to the Emperor of Netherworld.

“Hiss!”

The Primordial Poison Spirit dressed in a green robe was like a fish in the water. It drew a long breath in the poisonous sea, like a whale inhaling water. The black poison gas around it formed into a black tornado and streamed into its mouth.

The toxin, poisonous enough to kill Earthly Immortals, was nutrition for him and helped to heal his body quickly.

He didn’t stop for six hours.

“Impressive! Impressive! The Chaotic Poisonous Sea is really a wonderful place, a sanctum for me. If I can practice in here, perhaps my Primordial Poison Spirit may enter the Earthly Immortal realm before my body does. Maybe it could even stop the damn Emperor An. It’s a pity that I don’t have that much time.”

After six hours, the large amount of poison gas inhaled was enough to heal his Primordial Poison Spirit. The recovered primordial spirit was even stronger than before. But his other injured spirits didn’t heal.

After that, his eyes began to wander, his divine thoughts scanning thousands of miles around. Knowing that there was no living creatures at all, he felt relieved.

Of course, he knew if the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage was here, there would be no way to hide. He had thought it through and didn’t plan to hide. If this Celestial Immortal really intended to make a move on him, he had no chance to resist at all. It was useless to think too much.

It was natural for him to think that a Celestial Immortal would not bother to deal with him. Just as the Emperor of Netherworld, these Celestial Immortals, when facing with the Dharma Ending Tribulation, would choose to hide and wait until the tribulation was over, unless they had some other ulterior intentions.

The Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage had been silent for so long. He didn’t meddle with ordinary tribulations, neither would he get involved in one of the greatest tribulations of this era.

Zhou Bao was very stupid and innocent, at least in the eyes of Celestial Immortals. But since he was only taking a rest in the Chaotic Poisonous Sea, the Sage certainly wouldn’t bother him, because it was not the right time.

Zhou Bao was totally helpless under the attack of Emperor An. He was extremely lucky to have survived. After ensuring that he was completely safe here, he brought out the severely damaged Black Pearl.

The Black Pearl contained fragments of the Sacred City of Fate, thus the poison gas from the sea couldn’t harm it. Of course, this was only on the banks. When it was in the water, even the fragments of the Sacred City couldn’t survive. The Chaotic Poisonous Sea was a part of a Supreme Fairy Weapon belonging to the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage. It contained the fragments of the Sacred City of Termination. But this was only a legend. Rumors about a Celestial Immortal, who had disappeared since the remote antiquity, were not that easy to figure out.

Later, Zhou Bao started to repair the Black Pearl, which had a narrow escape this time. Luckily, the essence of the Thunder Pool and the Azure Big World were not hurt. Ten days later, the Black Pearl’s pneuma recovered after some repair and refinement work. But it still needed some time to recover fully.

Zhou Bao didn’t expect it to recover so soon. He only wanted the Black Pearl to regain its basic functions. The Black Pearl and his Great Way of Heavens and Realms could isolate space. In the special environment of the Chaotic Poisonous Sea, he felt free to let out the second prince of the Jade Emperor and take all his Divine Sense and fate.

This was part of his plan.

Once inside the Black Pearl, his Primordial Poison Spirit turned over its hand. A black lotus appeared in its palm, the Dark Garbha-mandala Canopy. Under Zhou Bao’s control, the black lotus began to bloom. The moment it blossomed, a golden flash shot out from the lotus and rushed outwards.

“Running away? It’s not that easy!” Seeing that the prince wanted to flee, the primordial spirit laughed coldly. It turned over its hand, and the poison gas pressed upon the prince.
