Omnipotent Sage-Chapter 879 - Burning the Good Fortune
879 Burning the Good Fortune
All in all, what Zhou Bao really wanted was revenge.
Zhou Bao was a gentle person by nature. He basically insisted on the principle that he would not provoke anyone who did not provoke him. He also believed that if someone did provoke him, he would retaliate ten times over.
Man Yujun attempted to assassinate him when he did not even know who he was. Though he escaped unscathed and managed to defeat Man Yujun, he kept the incident in his heart.
Since Man Yujun was the one who attacked him first, he would not let him off so easily. Revenge was what he was after. As for the two kinds of Sword Qi and the good fortune of a Tribulation Taker, they were secondary to his thoughts of revenge.
“Now that we both have two kinds of Sword Qi, let’s try and see who has a better understanding of them today!”
In Zhou Bao’s eyes, Man Yujun was the one who brought the treasure to him. He did not expect that he would get another Sword Qi. In this way, if he killed him, not only would he get his good fortune, but could also collect the Four Immortal-killing Swords at the same time. Then, it would be possible for him to plan for a big killing formation like the Immortal-killing Sword Formation. In this way, he was more confident of getting through the Dharma Ending Tribulation.
“Good, if you didn’t come to me, I would have gone to you for your Sword Qi!” Man Yujun replied. He raised his eyebrows. In an instant, numerous strands of Sword Qi in the air formed a sword net to engulf Zhou Bao.
“That’s such a cheap trick!” Zhou Bao sneered. Then he raised his right hand and created a sword net as well.
Bump, bump, bump—
When the Sword Qi smashed into each other, sounds of metal colliding in the air could be heard. Countless sparks sputtered and each one contained a strand of extremely sharp Sword Qi that broke the surrounding space.
During the fight, Zhou Bao’s eyes suddenly narrowed. “The Law of Space in the Immortal Realm is so rigid that I could hardly break the space. However, due to the impact of the Dharma Ending Tribulation, the rigorous space force is declining and the space here is getting fragile, then what about the space in the Human World?” He wondered.
Perhaps now any Human Immortal could rip up the space in the Human World and travel in the Void Universe at will. The infinite spaces around every macro world may have been chaotic or didn’t work already. This meant that the last barriers of every macro world in the Human World would disappear eventually.
Then the universe would really be in total chaos.
But this was not the time for him to worry about it. Even if the universe was in chaos it would not affect him. All he had to do now was kill the guy he was fighting with.
The two sword nets neutralized each other’s power in the air. Zhou Bao sneered, but Man Yujun’s face darkened. He was clearly at a disadvantage right now.
When his net was destroyed, Zhou Bao’s net released a layer of invisible dark force that almost caused him some harm.
“Damn it, Zhou Bao, go to hell!” Man Yujun yelled.
The first time he fought with Zhou Bao, he knew he could not beat him. Now with his Immortal-trapping Sword Qi, he still could not beat him. This made this battle extremely difficult for him.
The Immortal-trapping Sword Qi and Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi were his unique skills, but neither could hurt Zhou Bao. And from the situation right now, Zhou Bao had combined the Immortal-killing Sword Qi and the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi. It seemed too that his understanding of the sword intent was better than Man Yujun. If the fight continued, Man Yujun would lose.
“Humph, if only I had enough time to merge my two Sword Qi. Then I would not be weaker than him. The Dharma Ending Tribulation has just begun, and I’ll have the time and opportunity!” Man Junyu thought.
Now, he was sorely tempted to retreat.
But it was too late!
As soon as a strand of Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi was about to cut the surrounding egg-shaped canopy, Zhou Bao knew instantly what Man Yujun intended to do. He certainly would not allow him to escape. With a sneer, a large dark hand appeared and attacked Man Yujun, the moment the canopy was cut off by the Sword Qi.
Man Yujun’s blow was not as effective as he wanted it to be; it left only a gap in the canopy.
“Break!!” Seeing the large black hand coming towards him, Man Yujun paled. Then myriads of fine, red Sword Qi lights flashed, shooting straight into the sky at the hand.
He had launched his Immortal-trapping Sword Qi!!!
All the places affected by this kind of Sword Qi had flashing red lights on them.
The Immortal-killing Sword Qi was known for its sharpness and the Immortal-trapping Sword Qi was famous for its quantity. This could create a terrible ocean of Sword Qi, sweeping every inch of space and annihilating everything in its path.
To his surprise, once the red Immortal-trapping Sword Qi attacked the large black hand, the hand only trembled for a second and restabilized.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
A sizzling noise that sounded like cold water pouring over a hot iron could be heard in the space. The red sword light, which was as dense as the rain, was eliminated in a short span of time.
“That’s impossible!” Man Yujun’s face changed incredulously. The Immortal-trapping Sword Qi and the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi were his ace cards. He was confident that he could escape from any danger with them. If Zhou Bao had eliminated his Sword Qi with the Immortal-killing Sword Qi or Immortal-slaying Sword Qi, he was able to accept the fact, but he had used a large black hand instead. This meant that Zhou Bao could defeat him even without the Immortal-killing Sword Qi or his Seven Wonderful Techniques. The gap between them was much bigger than he imagined.
“Damn it!!” Man Yujun had to go all out now. He let out a growl and started the Immortal-trapping Sword Qi and the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi at the same time. In this life and death situation, these two kinds of Sword Qi unexpectedly cooperated so perfectly that they seemed to merge into one.
Bang!!!
With a loud noise, the large black hand was hacked to pieces by the two kinds of Sword Qi and the space between the Space of Segmented Realms was torn. Man Junyu rushed to the Sword Gate, as if his body had integrated with the Sword Qi.
“The Sword Gate can’t save you!” Zhou Bao said, squinting. In the interim, three flashes of lights shot out between his eyebrows. He, his incarnation of poison and his incarnation of fire came out and immediately blocked Man Yujun’s way.
“You’re desperate. Anyway, I won’t let you off today. Give up now!” Zhou Bao turned into a giant ape about 100 thousand feet tall and hit him with his fist, which carried a formidable fist strength.
“Break, break, break—!”
At this critical life and death moment, Man Yujun’s good fortune of a Tribulation Taker finally erupted. The two kinds of Sword Qi that showed signs of merging quickly gathered in an instant. With that, he rose and turned into a towering sword.
Bang!!!
Heaven and earth also changed!
The collision of the sword and the fist shattered the space within hundreds of kilometers. Zhou Bao’s fist was crushed, Man Yujun’s face was pale and blood spouted from his mouth. Man Yujun gave Zhou Bao a fierce look and began to attack again.
“Good, but it’s not powerful enough. Go to hell!” The moment when Man Yujun rose, a Skull Elixir Furnace appeared above his head. The furnace grew bigger and blocked off an area measuring dozens of kilometers wide. A powerful force was produced and seemed to redirect the path of his escape. He fell into the furnace as if he had hurled himself willingly into it.
Whirring!!!
The moment he entered the furnace, various flames ignited in the topaz-like elixir furnace. It was Zhou Bao’s incarnation of fire that fanned the Tusita Fire inside, exerting the power that simulated the Nine Heavenly Fire and trying to refine him in the furnace.
“I won’t die, Zhou Bao! You can’t kill me because I’m the last Tribulation Taker! I’ll be the Omnipotent Sage!” Man Yujun gave an unyielding roar in the furnace. He executed his sharp Sword Qi impetuously and tried to destroy the Furnace of Immortality from the inside.
“His comprehension of the two kinds of Sword Qi has increased!” Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows. In the Furnace of Immortality with endless Heavenly Fire, Man Yujun’s understanding of the swordsmanship was further enhanced at that moment. He thoroughly integrated the two kinds of Sword Qi, which not only blocked out the Heavenly Fire, but also posed a huge threat to the Furnace of Immortality.
“It’s not good. He’s burning up his good fortune and trying to use it all up now. You must stop him, or, he will grow stronger and even surpass you!” Ghost Child warned Zhou Bao loudly.
“How could that be?” Zhou Bao was startled. He did not even know that good fortune could be burned.
Now his Furnace of Immortality was starting to weaken from the internal attack. The deep integration of the two kinds of Sword Qi produced an overwhelming killing intent, as if a Fierce Beast from the primitive times, was going to destroy everything before it.
Man Yujun’s good fortune burned up completely and out came a power that frightened Zhou Bao.
With a whirring sound, Zhou Bao’s Primordial Fire Spirit went into the Furnace of Immortality and stabilized it before it broke. His Primordial Sword Spirit changed into a strand of Sword Qi and went into the furnace as well.
Zhou Bao looked very solemn. He held on to a colorful jade branch, which was sending out colorful lights. Then he appeared in front of the Furnace of Immortality. A few seconds later, the furnace cracked completely with a loud sound and three rays of lights flashed from it. The first ray of light was his Primordial Fire Spirit that which had been badly injured and looked pale. It then fled in between Zhou Bao’s eyebrows. Then it was his Primordial Sword Spirit which was fighting against Man Yujun and was at a disadvantageous position, barely able to stop him. Then as Zhou Bao’s gaze fixed on a point, the jade branch in his hand immediately glowed brightly and hurled itself towards Man Yujun.
