Chapter 491: The Power of Flipping Sky Seal

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The gold seal did not expand anymore nor did it fall down. As Zhou Bao infused it with more and more Real Essence, its power increased overwhelmingly and the surrounding air seemed to have solidified. The City Protection Formation of the Qin Family was so good that even if it encountered a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm, it was still capable of fighting back. But now, everything had changed after it came into contact with the power of the Flipping Sky Seal. At first, the seal merely prevented the pressure brought by the formation from approaching Zhou Bao. But later, as Zhou Bao infused more and more Real Essence into it, its spirit gradually connected with the pneuma of the formation and streaks of spirit seeped out of the seal, hooking the pneuma in tightly. At that moment, Zhou Bao felt the output of the Real Essence gradually reducing. However, at the same time, a strange change came over the City Protection Formation of the Qin Family—the purple light darkened gradually.

“What on earth is going on? Why can’t I control the Six Ways Formation? Why? What kind of celestial device is it? Is it a Pure Yang Celestial Device or a fairy weapon? Why is it absorbing the power of our formation?”

At this moment, Qin Zheng, who was at the center of the City Protection Formation, emitted a loud roar. It had been the last resort of the Qin Family but it did not work now. The Six Ways Formation had protected the Qin Family over the past 3,000 years, but it was not able to do its job this time around, so Qin Zheng was totally flustered by this. And this was not helping him at this point in time.

“How interesting! My seal absorbs the pneuma of the surrounding earth vein and the world through that formation and, finally, it is able to forge many formation talismans. This is a total surprise!”

Zhou Bao felt greatly relieved after he sensed that the seal no longer absorbed his Real Essence but instead turned to extract the pneuma of the surrounding earth vein. Suddenly, he had a strange look on his face and said, “Oh, it solidified!”

The seal came to a standstill after it had absorbed an enormous quantity of the essence of the world and the earth vein. At this moment, it no longer glittered and instead darkened. The talismans floating above it disappeared, all having been absorbed into the seal. The horrifying coercion coming out of the seal disappeared too, leaving only a 100 feet long dark gold seal floating in mid-air.

The dark gold seal did not send forth any spirit essence now and suddenly, Zhou Bao felt a tremor in his heart.

Soon after, the seal fell.

It fell from the sky without a sound.

“Zhou Bao, how dare you? Stop!” As the Flipping Sky Seal fell, a golden light flashed past the eastern horizon and shot towards the Mountain City of the Qin Family. Zhou Bao paid no heed to those words, letting the seal continue to plummet.

Boom!

The seal landed with a loud bang and expanded to a size of 1,000 feet in height. It hit Toutuo Ridge directly—the headquarters of the Qin Family, where the Formation Eye of the City Protection Formation was located.

After that, the whole of Toutuo Ridge was razed to the ground. The entire mountain was flattened and looked like the runway of a small airport. Meanwhile, the managers and Elders of the Qin Family who were staying at Toutuo Ridge as well as the treasures that the Qin Family had accumulated over the years, including two Pure Yang Celestial Devices, were turned into ashes under the onslaught of the seal attack.

By then, the golden light finally approached and witnessed this scene before her eyes. She said, “Zhou Bao, you really have a death wish!”

With a loud roar, a golden stripe shot toward Zhou Bao.

However, Zhou Bao executed his Great Fusion Technic instantly without even looking at the woman.

Swish! The Great Fusion Technic warded off the golden stripe. At the same time, the Flipping Sky Seal scattered and turned into pure pneuma.

This surprised Zhou Bao to a certain extent.

Flipping Sky Seal was a secret skill and also a method used to kill enemies. It should have disappeared after it had fulfilled its mission, just like the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword and Infinite Trembling Contemplation. However, this time was different. After all the pneuma had disappeared, a strange talisman flew into the place between Zhou Bao’s eyebrows.

“What’s this?” Zhou Bao had never seen such a thing before, but there was no time for him to think about it now. The golden stripe shone brightly and reached out to strike him again.

“Are you done with your attacks?” While uttering these words, Zhou Bao’s face darkened. He had just caught a glimpse of the appearance of the newcomer—it was a beautiful woman who was dressed in court apparel. She was glaring at him with a death stare.

Zhou Bao did not give much thought to this woman’s strength, but he felt uncomfortable under her scrutiny.

He saw the stripe heading toward him. It was a Flying Sword at the Pure Yang Level. With only a simple shape, the old sword emanated golden light and waves of scorching spirit, showing an amazing Qi Power.

Zhou Bao frowned in annoyance and raised his hand. A golden circle shot out from his hand and directly blocked the way of the Flying Sword.

Swish! The Flying Sword fell into the golden circle and disappeared.

“Ah?” The beauty exclaimed in shock. She waved her hands as if trying to retrieve the Flying Sword, but it had disappeared just like a clay ox entering the sea and melting away. The connection between herself and the sword had already been severed.

She panicked. The Golden Flame Sword was one of the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices of the East Sea Chaotian Palace. Although it was not supposed to be used in this way, its specialty was its attacking mode. She had won the favor of the Palace Leader and was promoted to the role of hostess there because she was the only one who possessed the rare Raging Fire Bloodline over the past 1,000 years. She was able to practice the Golden Flame Technique and was in control of the Golden Flame Sword.

She had never thought that as soon as she was in a battle with Zhou Bao, her Pure Yang Flying Sword—the Golden Flame Sword, would be taken away so easily.

She was doing her closed-door training in Chaotian Palace. Suddenly, an unsettling emotion came over her. The Mind-connecting Talisman which she always carried with her suddenly broke apart. She knew then that her older brother must have encountered a great calamity. Thereafter, she used a Teleportation Talisman to transport herself to the Mountain City of the Qin Family from the Chaotian Palace. As soon as she showed up, she saw that a man in the sky had broken through the City Protection Formation of the Qin Family and was using a dark gold seal to destroy the headquarters of Qin Family. She was quite familiar with the appearance of that man. He was Zhou Bao of Yunzhou, the most flamboyant genius in the Central Mainland Region over the past 10 years. It was then that she exclaimed in shock.

However, she had never thought that Zhou Bao would ignore her. He directed the seal to press down and destroyed Toutuo Ridge. Furious at his daring, she released the Golden Flame Sword twice. Her first attack was warded off by Zhou Bao, and at the second time, Zhou Bao took her sword away directly. By now, she realized that Zhou Bao’s strength was immeasurable beyond the rumors about him.

Although she was furious and wanted to tear Zhou Bao to pieces, she was clearly aware of the huge gap between their strengths. Therefore, she dared not act recklessly but stared at Zhou Bao with a terrified look.

“Who are you? How dare you intervene in my affairs? Do you really have a death wish?” Zhou Bao stared coldly at the woman who had a murderous look on her face.

The woman trembled in fear as she sensed the killing intent emanating from Zhou Bao, even though she was already a Genuine Immortal. As she was about to speak, Zhou Bao’s face darkened and he asked, “Humph. My friend, you’ve hidden there and watched our fighting from the sidelines for so long, don’t you want to come out now?”

“Who? Who else is there?” The woman was shocked. Even with her cultivation, she had failed to sense that someone was hiding behind her. She could not imagine how powerful that person would be.

“It’s true that the man with fame is in no way the weak. Zhou Bao of Yunzhou, you really live up to your reputation!”

A gentle sigh rang out, and the space behind the woman rippled like water. Then, a white-robbed middle-aged man appeared in the sky.

“Leader!” The woman shouted in surprise as she saw this middle-aged man.

The man was her husband, the leader of the East Sea Chaotian Palace. Of course, Zhou Bao was not aware of that.

“Leader?” Zhou Bao touched his chin and cast a confused glance at the man, saying, “Haha, I never expected that there were so many talents hiding here. I’ve just killed a Venerable and, another Venerable comes now. No wonder the Qin Family had the guts to plunder my northwest region!”

“Have you really killed my older brother?” The woman’s expression changed greatly as she heard what Zhou Bao had just said.

“Silence!” The Palace Leader scolded the woman coldly and smiled at Zhou Bao, saying, “Don’t get me wrong, Fellow Taoist Zhou. I’m Lin Kong, the leader of the East Sea Chaotian Palace. I am only distantly related to the Qin Family. This is my wife Qin Mengyao, who was born in the Qin Family, so that is why she behaved so rudely to you just now. If she has caused any offense, I beg your pardon.”

“Qin Mengyao? Lin Kong? Chaotian Palace?” Zhou Bao’s eyes narrowed. When it came to the East Sea Chaotian Palace, he recalled what had happened in Small Thunder Temple as the Ancient Ruins showed up that year, and there seemed to have been some friction between him and people from Chaotian Palace. However, judging by Lin Kong’s attitude, it was obvious that he did not want to be Zhou Bao’s enemy. Of course, Zhou Bao had the same idea. Chaotian Palace was not a sect in the Central Mainland Region but one in the East Sea. After having witnessed the strength of the Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area, no matter how bold Zhou Bao was, he did not want to be the enemy of the Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area.

However, Qin Mengyao was born in the Qin Family and, he had just destroyed all the powerful experts in the Qin Family, including a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm. Moreover, Toutuo Ridge had been turned into a desolate wasteland due to his seal. Therefore, he had slain almost the entire Qin Family.

As one of the nine well-known families, Qin Family had a monopoly on sea salt, which already was the envy of others. But for the strong backup from their powerful experts, other influences would have vied for the monopoly of salt with the Qin Family. At present, the powerful experts of the Qin Family had all been killed by Zhou Bao and he had even destroyed their City Protection Formation. Even if Zhou Bao did not kill the remaining members of the Qin Family, the Qin Family would now be at the mercy of other influences. It definitely would vanish before long. Even if Qin Mengyao alone was able to prevent some clansmen from being killed, the glory of the Qin Family over the 3,000 years would have been gone with the wind. In that case, how could she not hate Zhou Bao?

Because of this, Zhou Bao would consider Qin Mengyao to be a menace as well. Hence, he cast an unfriendly glance at Qin Mengyao.
