Omnipotent Sage

Opportunity favors only the prepared minds.

And Zhou Bao had always been prepared.

Yu Taixu had a weapon of mass destruction, and so did he. The difference was that Yu Taixu’s weapon had been exposed, but his was still unknown to others, waiting for the best time.

Right now within the main hall of the Great Constellation Palace, Yu Taixu was carefully operating the Star Ring in order to take the Pool of Thunder Tribulation.

Was everything going to work out as he had expected?

Impossible!

Just as the Star Ring was sparkling violently and was about to fuse with the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, a strong willpower fell on the center of the pool.

“Who?! Who dares to approach the thunder pool?! Who?!”

With the arrival of this willpower, the Thunder Sea began to roar. The purple thunder liquid above the pool began to spiral and formed a vortex, drawing the Great Constellation Palace into it in a second.

Not good!

Yu Taixu’s face turned pale. He was still operating the Great Constellation Palace, trying to maintain stability in the vortex, but the willpower was too strong and too sudden. Most importantly, when the willpower had arrived, the thunder pool seemed to become alive and sent out a strange force. The Star Ring had been pushed away by the force and was unable to get closer ever since. Everything was changing so fast. The Great Constellation Palace lost the great power it had just obtained and was drawn into the torrent of thunderbolts before Yu Taixu realized it.

However, a Supreme Fairy Weapon was a Supreme Fairy Weapon after all. When Yu Taixu came to his senses, the situation was quickly under control and the Great Constellation Palace flew out of the vortex of thunderbolts. And at that moment, Yu Taixu could not hide his ferocious face.

Yes, a very ferocious face.

Mr. Feng IX would have never expected to see such an expression on Yu Taixu’s face. As the lord of the Divine Wind Palace and as someone at the basic level of the Way to the Emperor he had seen the world and knew how to hide his true feelings. However, Mr. Feng IX was sure that the ferocious expression on Yu Taixu’s face reflected his true feelings at this moment. And this was totally understandable.

“A Heavenly Fairy Weapon! The Pool of Thunder Tribulation is a Heavenly Fairy Weapon with a complete device spirit!”

When the strong willpower fell on them, Mr. Feng IX and Yu Taixu knew instantly what had happened. The Pool of Thunder Tribulation was a Heavenly Fairy Weapon that was quite different from a Taihao Fairy Weapon. The reason for that is that it had gathered a device spirit, also called fairy spirit, and had its own independent willpower. It was a living creature now. The most frightening thing was that the Heavenly Fairy Weapon with its own device spirit was an independent living creature, meaning that it could release the entire power of the fairy weapon. One had to subdue the device spirit if one wanted to own the fairy weapon. This was doable for the Powerful Divines in antiquity times, but it was simply a fantasy for the practitioners at the present time.

It was for both Yu Taixu and Feng IX impossible.

“As we have expected, it’s not that easy. If the Pool of Thunder Tribulation would be easy to obtain, it wouldn’t still be here today!” Hiding inside the Great Constellation Palace, Feng IX sighed and said, “I wish the Great Constellation Palace could withstand the attack from the Heavenly Fairy Weapon!”

“Damn it! The Pool of Thunder Tribulation has turned into a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. How could that be possible?! Even though Pool of Thunder Tribulation has strong powers, it is just a tool after all – a supreme Taihao Fairy Weapon one at most! How could it become a Heavenly Fairy Weapon?! How?!” Different from Mr. Feng IX, Yu Taixu had heard a lot about the Pool of Thunder Tribulation in the Divine Wind Palace and knew the nature of the weapon. The Pool of Thunder Tribulation was created by the Thunder Emperor in the Thunder Tribulation Heaven. It was said to be the most powerful fairy weapon in antiquity times. It was so powerful that it was impossible for the Pool of Thunder Tribulation to evolve a device spirit.

However, even though it didn’t have a device spirit, the weapon was not something to be looked down upon. That was because it was controlled by the Thunder Emperor who created it and knew better about it than anyone else. Therefore, even the Powerful Divines with Heavenly Fairy Weapons didn’t dare to compete with their own Heavenly Fairy Weapons against the Pool of Thunder Tribulation.

Now that the Thunder Emperor was gone, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation was at most a Taihao Fairy Weapon that failed to evolve a spiritual sense. The Great Constellation Palace should be powerful enough to suppress it. However, the change in the situation was out of his expectation.

He had never thought that the Pool of Thunder Tribulation could become a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. But after feeling shocked, he was filled with strong ambition.

“If I could suppress the thunder pool, my power and the power of the Divine Wind Palace will definitely be above all. At that time, the Heaven Realm and even the other macro worlds in the hollow – like the Infinite Star Sea, the Milky Way Star Area, the Purple Scorpion Sea Area, and the other Star Areas – could all be conquered by me. After that, I could probably achieve the Advanced Level on my Way to the Emperor, and I could even have the opportunity to…!”

Greedy thought fueled his ambition, and Yu Taixu had lost all his calm and demeanor as the lord of the Divine Wind Palace. All he could think of were those four words: Pool of Thunder Tribulation.

“Great Constellation Bomb, attack!”

He activated the Great Constellation Bomb with a shout.

BOOM!!!

Under his operation, the Great Constellation Palace gave off endless scattered lights and blew all the purple thunderbolts away. An empty space was created and the starlight covered the entire Great Constellation Palace, keeping the purple thunderbolts outside. In the meantime, Zhou Bao, who was in the starlight world, felt a sudden and extremely obvious decrease in the starlight’s power. It seemed as if it was drawn out by some force.

“Yu Taixu is using the power of this macro world to activate the Supreme Fairy Weapon!”

Zhou Bao, who was also an owner of a Supreme Fairy Weapon, immediately understood what was happening. The corners of his mouth turned upwards into a sinister smile. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

The Great Constellation Palace had absorbed the pneuma of this stars world, causing a chaos here. The scattered lights around Fatty Blue and Zhou Bao were not touched, but under such circumstances, Yu Taixu didn’t have any extra power to detect their movements. Zhou Bao took a deep breath and the Mysterious Icy Divine Light was triggered, forming an invisible screen around his body. The screen was not like an ordinary shied that blocks scattered lights but one that had the same shape as Zhou Bao’s body. When the screen was completed, he smiled and got out of it. It then transformed into the appearance of Zhou Bao and stayed fixed within the scattered lights.

This was another usage of the Mysterious Divine Light: instantiation.

After having absorbed the Icy Divine Light, Zhou Bao had achieved the Basic level of the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill and had a deeper understanding of the skill. The Mysterious Divine Light was so miraculous that it could instantiate different forms according to Zhou Bao’s mind, just like the seventy-two transformations in the legends. Even though it was only a form, it could be mistaken for the real Zhou Bao. He performed the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill and left the space made of stars.

He couldn’t break the space of the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode, but the space of the star world was much easier to break. After several Infinite Realms Teleportations, Zhou Bao reached the main hall of the Great Constellation Palace where Yu Taixu and Mr. Feng IX were standing. One could see everything that was happening outside the Great Constellation Palace from there.

“Is Yu Taixu insane?!” Zhou Bao couldn’t help but feel confused when he saw Yu Taixu extracting the energy from the star world and using the created Star Rings to tie up the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. At this moment, he could also feel the strong willpower emanating from the Pool of Thunder Tribulation.

“Hahahaha, as I said, the device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation must be damaged or it won’t just hide like a turtle and bluff. Hahahaha!” Yu Taixu laughed loudly, looking as if the whole world was within his control.

“Humph, stupid human! If I wouldn’t be sparing energy to suppress the Primordial Demon, you wouldn’t be breathing now. Thunder Sea, attack!” The Pool of Thunder Tribulation’s willpower roared and the surrounding vortex of thunderbolts began to shrink. The process was so quick that one could see it with bare eyes. Several seconds later, a thunderbolt crystal of 100,000 cubic feet in size appeared, falling toward the Great Constellation Palace.

At the same time in the Desolate Island, the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar, which linked heaven and earth, began to shake violently and rumble loudly. Suddenly, the cyan pillar cracked and showed a fine fissure that quickly extended around the entire Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar. And in the end, the pillar crushed and burst apart, turning into thunderbolts that swept over the Desolate Island where everything became destroyed in an instant.

“Hahahaha, you’re here! You’re finally here! The damn Thunder Emperor had set so many barriers at the exit. Humph, do you think this can stop me?!” On the Desolate Island filled with countless thunderbolts, the voice sounded rather arrogant. A young man in rags appeared. Any practitioner from the Divine Wind Palace could recognize the young man. He was the one who took the Devil Fetus, and betrayed and left the Divine Wind Palace; it was the former disciple of the Divine Wind Palace called Yu Qinghua.
