Chapter 585: Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Two thin rays of scarlet light hit the crimson-jade-like canopy with an unexpected hard force. The canopy that seemed extremely strong shook and its surface rippled.

“Eh? Interesting. The Emperor Wheel Fiery Eyes are powerful indeed; they were able to suppress the power of my Fiery Eye of Five Elements totally. It seems that this man has mastered well the power of his Fiery Eyes, otherwise, he couldn’t have exerted so much pressure on me!” Zhou Bao’s eyes flickered. When he saw the light in the Fiery Eye atop his Bronze Scepter beginning to fade, he instantly withdrew the Bronze Scepter.

However, he didn’t back out from the fight. He took the scepter back and put it across the front of his body merely to accumulate more power. The Bronze Scepter surpassed any ordinary Taihao Fairy Weapon. Combining the Fiery Eye of Five Elements with the Bronze Scepter, he could obtain a power that was greater than the power generated by mechanically adding the two items together. Although the power of the Emperor Wheel Fiery Eye could suppress that of the Fiery Eye of Five Elements, it was less effective when the two were combined.

“God said, his radiance will warm the whole world!”

God said, “The world should have the power to bear all things!”

As he was chanting, various mysterious talismans glittered on the body of the scepter. The blood-red canopy stabilized and blocked off the two scarlet rays of light. Unlike the previous situation, the canopy was now powerful enough to withstand the power of the twin rays.

“God said, light creates order, and light illuminates heaven and earth!”

Clank! The scarlet light ripped open the void and a robust figure appeared. It was wrapped entirely in a red robe, which matched the surroundings. However, his appearance was concealed from everyone. The only part visible was a pair of eyes shining with a strange red light.

“God said,

“light illuminates everything.”

“Under God’s glory,

“All sins will be disclosed!”

Swish! The figure in the red robe suddenly revealed his face.

The man was not that old. His face, as handsome as that of a Roman statue, showed his surprise. Obviously, he had never expected that Zhou Bao would be able to exert such enormous power by merely using the scepter in his hands.

“God said,

“when everything falls apart,

“Judgment Day is approaching!”

Boom!

A magnificent stream of blood-red light exploded in the void and at that moment, hundreds of suns seemed to be born and destroyed at the same time. The scorching spirit ripped apart the void and everything turned into smoke and dust.

“Ancient divine device and ancient divine skills!”

By now, the man in the red robe finally realized the origin of the divine skills Zhou Bao had just used. All of a sudden, his face darkened and his robe rippled, turning into countless layers of space-times. Like waves, these space-times, although located at the center of these divine skills, were able to ward off and offset the power and eliminated everything.

At last, not knowing how many space-times had been destroyed, people saw the power of Judgement Day had been finally dissolved. That red-robed man’s face, however, appeared much paler than before.

“It’s the Self-world. I didn’t expect that you would have the power equivalent to that of the Lord of Heaven now!”

Zhou Bao gasped slightly when he saw the red robe giving off a reddish light. He grasped the scepter, which had been put in a transversal position in front of him, and leaned it on the ground, saying, “I’m not sure that I can defeat you, now that you possess the Emperor Wheel Fiery Eyes and the strength of a Lord of Heaven. However, I’m afraid it will be impossible for you to defeat me. How about calling a truce?”

“I told you that I will not let you off because you have refined the eye of my tribesman!” The man in the red robe leaned forward and walked into this world from the unknown void. “Even if I can’t defeat you, I still need you to pay the price!”

As he was speaking, two rays of scarlet light flashed from his eyes, and a strange aura spread in all directions. In an instant, it covered the whole world.

Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes as he sensed that the surrounding aura had changed. No one knew this feeling better than he did. This was the mystic domain of the Fiery Eyes, which he himself could display and was aware of its power too. But now, he did not feel so good when he was in another person’s domain.

“God said, he who believes in God, will stay away from all impurity and evil.”

“God said, at the end of the road of betrayal and perversion, all the glory you have stolen will be taken from you!”

The blood-red canopy strengthened due to Zhou Bao’s chanting. Like a flood, the Golden Dharma Power in his body swarmed into the scepter and then turned into invisible power gushing forth from the scepter.

Boom!

The invisible Golden Dharma Power and the domain of the Fiery Eyes collided head-on, making the world break apart instantaneously.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A sound like pearls falling onto a jade plate and the breaking of glass could be heard.

The pleasant sound rang in everyone’s ears. Endless time-spaces appeared around Zhou Bao and his figure turned ethereal. Even the man in the red robe could only make out Zhou Bao’s shadow instead of his actual position.

“Let’s call it a day. Since I still have other fish to fry, I don’t want to fight with you anymore. If you want to fight with me, wait for me to come back from the Infinite Star Sea, and I shall fight with you to your heart’s content!” As Zhou Bao was speaking, the Transmitting Formation at the center of this world lit up. He disappeared together with Xiao Sheng, in the radiance of the Transmitting Formation.

The eyes of the man in the red robe flickered as if he wanted to launch his strikes again. However, he did not make any further moves. He did not let out a sigh until the light of the Transmitting Formation was gone. He pointed one finger at the space that had been completely shattered by the attacks of Zhou Bao’s divine skills and it began to recover.

“Elder brother, why are you here?”

At this moment, having recovered from the shock, Ye Qingtian appeared before the man in the red robe and asked him in a tone of surprise.

“Hmph, if I weren’t here, you’d have been a prisoner by now!” The man in the red robe sneered, without even glancing at the ashen-faced Qi Miaoyi beside him. “This Zhou Bao has many tricks. Without my permission, no one is allowed to provoke him from now on!”

“Yes!” Ye Qingtian replied in a hurry. He muttered to himself, “I’m afraid that even if you ask me to provoke him in the future, I would not dare to do so. How could he be so formidable and where on earth did he learn that strange Divine Sense he had just used? I have not even heard of it!”

Thinking of the light divine skills that Zhou Bao had just displayed, Ye Qingtian was filled with doubts.

He looked up again, only to see that the man in the red robe had already disappeared. Beside him, Qi Miaoyi gazed blankly at the disorderly world and his face gradually turned livid with rage.

“Young Master Qi, are you all right?”

“I’m fine, how can I be fine?” Young Master Qi came to himself upon hearing Ye Qingtian’s question. “Damn it. After spending so much effort and taking such a big risk, I gained nothing and even let them escape, especially Xiao Sheng. If he tells others about what has happened there, I shall bear the consequences even though I am the young master of the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain!”

AAt his words, Ye Qingtian also came to realize the problem. They had been fully confident that they could ambush and kill Zhou Bao, for each of them had a fairy weapon. Besides their own fairy weapons, Young Master Qi had covered this world with a Highest Heaven Celestial Device in advance. He also had with him, in addition to that fairy weapon, another Highest Heaven Celestial Device and a high-grade Pure Yang Celestial Device. With their combined strength and devices, they should have the ability to contend with and even defeat any Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. But they did not expect Zhou Bao to be so fierce and vicious. They had never encountered or even heard of his mysterious attack techniques before. Therefore, they were caught unprepared. If it were not for the man in the red robe who had shown up and helped them, they might have been captured already. Their celestial devices and fairy weapons would have become Zhou Bao’s spoils of war. If this was the case, they would just resign themselves to their fates. However now, even though they had been rescued in the nick of time, Zhou Bao and Xiao Sheng were safe and sound. Hence, their hearts were filled with panic.

The Transmitting Formation in the Infinite Star Sea was of great significance to the Three Western Regions. The people who guarded this place were elites among all the practitioners from various sects. However, in order for them to attack Zhou Bao, they had set a trap and killed all the practitioners there.

Their purpose was to kill or capture Zhou Bao and Xiao Sheng. By doing this, they could escape detection or any leakage of information. Even if the five biggest sects were to investigate this matter, without any evidence and clues, they could not get to the bottom of it.

But now, they failed to achieve their purpose because Zhou Bao and Xiao Sheng were still unharmed. If it was only Zhou Bao who was testifying against him, Qi Miaoyi was sure that he would be able to muddle through. After all, Zhou Bao was merely an outsider, while he was the young master of the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. However, things would be totally different now that Xiao Sheng was there. He belonged to the Palace of Eternal Life. Deeply valued by the lord of the Palace of Eternal Life, Xiao Sheng was also a very prestigious figure among the five biggest sects in the Three Western Regions. If Xiao Sheng came out to testify against him, he would be ruined. Even his father Qi Shuming, the master of the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, would not be able not to save him. Thinking of this, his heart was filled with dismay.

“No, we can’t just go back like this!” Different thoughts flashed across his mind, and finally, he came to a decision.

“If we can’t go back like this, then what should we do?”

“Since they are going to the Infinite Star Sea, we should make our way there too. Anyhow, we have to kill Xiao Sheng, otherwise, there will be no place for you and me in the Seven-deity Regions!” Qi Miaoyi said angrily.

“Go to the Infinite Star Sea? But, Zhou Bao’s strength…” Hearing this, Ye Qingtian could not help but hesitate. He had just witnessed Zhou Bao’s strength. Even if they combined forces to attack him, they were still no match for him. They had barely survived just now and it was largely due to the help of the man in the red robe. Besides that, they would be isolated and weak at the Infinite Star Sea, which was a unfamiliar territory to them. They would definitely die if they were discovered by Zhou Bao.

“Hmph, don’t worry. We don’t need to incur a head-on confrontation with Zhou Bao at the Infinite Star Sea. Aren’t they going to save people? We won’t let him achieve his goal. Let’s use the local power of the Infinite Star Sea to attack him. We just need to hide in the dark and look for an opportunity to kill Xiao Sheng!” Qi Miaoyi said in a sinister tone.
