Omnipotent Sage

The body fell slowly, fluttering to the ground like a dead leaf.

As it fell, a strange light flashed momentarily. A milky white brilliance filled the sky and disappeared; it condensed into a suspended pool of water and emitted a faint light.

Zhou Bao had made a critical strike with his hammer, the Heavenly Jade Technique, and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. Of course, this was not the main issue. The main issue was that his Mysterious Icy Divine Light was making use of the Seven Wonderful Techniques and it made a fantastic change. He was skilled at four of the Seven Wonderful Techniques: the Heavenly Jade Technique, the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, the Dharma Power-restoring Skill, and the Immortal Body Technique.

For the longest time, only the Heavenly Jade Technique and Snake-like Breath Holding Skill could complement each other. They could be used together to create an incredible power. Up to now, Zhou Bao used this force to score his critical hits. But after he practiced the Dharma Power-restoring Skill, Zhou Bao had hoped that it would create a reaction with the other two techniques. But it became clear that this Dharma Power-restoring Skill just worked parallel to the other two beams of light and they could not be combined. So Zhou Bao’s dream went unfulfilled.

But after he received the Immortal Body Technique, he discovered that this technique and the Dharma Power-restoring Skill greatly complimented each other, and when combined they created a mysterious effect. Of course, the combined results of these two skills were about the same as Zhou Bao’s own power and was no match for the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. None of its skills were visible from the outside. It just had a powerful effect in addition to helping the body to recuperate and for the pneuma to recover.

This additional skill, used alongside the characteristics of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan and Zhou Bao’s own strength, created a power he could really depend upon, namely the ability to immediately recover with the Dharma power recovery speed. It was of course not an instant recovery but similar to his former life when he would cheat while playing Diablo, carrying a small N-shaped amulet that defied natural order. But he did not need to worry that his Dharma power was not enough, it was extremely powerful. He also did not need to be concerned that it was too big a move, because it could clear all the Dharma power at once.

Therefore, Zhou Bao had superhuman endurance. It was enough to endure a ten-day battle with a Youxian Temple master, even up to a hundred-day battle. It really made a big difference.

There was actually too much advantage from combining the Dharma Power-restoring Skill and the Immortal Body Technique. Of course, Zhou Bao needed to keep this benefit to himself, and indeed only he knew about it. He kept quiet about this huge advantage. Originally, Zhou Bao thought that when the Dharma Power-restoring Skill and Immortal Body Technique were combined, the advantages would be the instant recovery process for both the inner-body and Dharma power. But he never imagined that after the intense contest with the Fairy Pool Hunter, he had the ability to operate all four of the skills at the same time. It was just his way of making quick breakthroughs and overcoming obstacles. After he struck the Fairy Pool Hunter, that killing urge turned into a strong belief that was concentrated on his hammer. The four Seven Wonderful Techniques finally infused into one to become a blue light.

This blue light was very strange and mysterious as it contained all the mysticism of the world and the universe. It contained all the knowledge and had a wide mastery of everything. As his hammer struck, this light instantly shattered the Way of Heaven force, Dharma force, and the Power of Fate surrounding the Fairy Pool Hunter. Zhou Bao’s big hammer was indeed a sturdy weapon.

Of course, this was not the most important thing. The Fairy Pool Hunter was the one who had mastered the use of the Immortal-burying Pool. Even though Zhou Bao had shattered him to pieces, it was highly possible and not at all odd if he had made a quick recovery on the spot.

Perhaps all of this would have happened before the blue light was produced.

However, once the blue light burst into view, not only did it shatter the Power of Fate that the Fairy Pool Hunter relied upon, into oblivion, but it also stripped him of his right to control the Immortal-burying Pool. He had already refined this Immortal-burying Pool and infused into it his own spirit brand. But when he lost the controlling rights over it, it returned to its original state.

This time it created more trouble for him. He had just stepped into the Realm of Human Immortal, and had gained his influence with the help of the Immortal-burying Pool. He cheated his way through his tribulation, so how would he ever be able to withstand Zhou Bao’s hammer? He had been so dependent on the Immortal-burying Pool that when it was gone, there was nothing else he could do.

And so, he was swiftly beaten by Zhou Bao and his hammer.

He really took a pounding!

His spirit and brand were erased from the Immortal-burying Pool. His spirit suffered heavy losses. A mere Human Immortal had no way of withstanding Zhou Bao’s psycho power and hammer. In one blow, not only did it cause his external body to dissipate from the Power of Fate, but it also created a passive protection and was completely intact. The interior body was completely smashed by the immense power of the strike. All of his organs, blood vessels, and even his skeleton were obliterated. The only part of his body that was left was a layer of skin that drifted to the ground like a withered leaf floating in the wind. This layer of skin falling to the ground was the only thing left to show the people of that world that this person had once existed.

The space around him was completely shattered but in the next moment it regenerated. However, it was no longer lost in the midst of time, but returned to the current world. The layer of skin landed, and hung on the broken wall surrounding Youxian Temple, fluttering eerily in the wind.

His soul had disappeared without a trace under the absolute power of the blue light.

“Is that the Immortal-burying Pool? It is! Since the guy is already dead, does that mean it is mine?” Zhou Bao breathed deeply, after losing his ability to recall the feelings he had when the blue light appeared and lifted his head to look at the Immortal-burying Pool in the sky. He reached out a finger, and the Immortal-burying Pool rotated, and spinning slowly, became smaller and smaller. It moved towards his fingertip and formed a water droplet which he absorbed.

“Great, even if I didn’t have a hammer, I would still be qualified to be a Fate Creator!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly as he scanned the surroundings of Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty. His sweeping gaze was like an essence that made anyone who sensed it fall silent. His heart fluttered. As Zhou Bao had defeated the Youxian Temple master a long time ago, no one would dare say no. There was no resistance whatsoever.

They were not fools. Even though they had not seen the confrontation between Zhou Bao and the Fairy Pool Hunter, Zhou Bao had killed him in a very short time. Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty could not withstand this sort of power at all, and because of this, some of the old foxes there secretly came up with an idea.

What Zhou Bao said next confirmed that their idea was a good one.

“Haha, today my luck is actually quite good! So many men have died, so I don’t want to kill anymore. Today I will spare Youxian Temple. You will avoid death but will still be punished. There is also Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain who, in vain, attempted to execute some treacherous deeds while I was crossing the Thunder Tribulation. They must confess to this action. I am a benevolent man, but if I let them get away with this, then who else would keep an eye on certain people around me?

“Well, I don’t know how King Wuyang wants it!” The Youxian Temple master had only ten days left to live. He muttered to himself for a long time and finally sighed. Trembling, he stood up and asked Zhou Bao.

“It’s not a case of how I want it, but a case of what you should do!” Zhou Bao smiled faintly and said, “I have always been a very forgiving man. If I am satisfied with what you do, of course, I would not look into it.” Then, bearing a fierce expression, he raised his hand, which made the Youxian Temple master’s heart pound furiously. It felt like it was smashing the space in front of him and exposing one corner of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. “What about Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain? This is the second time they’ve caused you trouble. However, I’m not willing to do anything about it, but you should do as you see fit.”

He spoke quietly, but they were words that would cause turmoil for Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. Right now Zhou Bao was fierce and formidable. He had swept across the Heaven Realm and killed the Fairy Pool Hunter. This was a power no ordinary person could contend with, and only a fool would confront him now. So, after a while, from within Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain there came a sigh. “Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain cannot let King Wuyang down!”

“I should hope so!” Zhou Bao looked momentarily pleased with himself as he smiled. Is this what Sun Tzu meant by subduing the enemy without fighting?

After hearing Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain’s reply, Zhou Bao just smiled. His intention had been to lure the Fairy Pool Hunter out and then kill him at any cost. It did not take nearly as much effort as he had thought was needed to kill him; he did not even use half of his power. He achieved what he wanted by a sheer fluke, was there anything better than that?

He also had the Immortal-burying Pool in his hands. Although it was only a part of the Fairy Weapon of Fate, it was a very well-refined part. But the Fairy Weapons of Fate of the hegemonic Entire Heaven World had within them a profound meaning, a secret. After enlightenment, they could help him tremendously in perfecting his own Azure Big World. This made him cheerful, and he was unconcerned about other things. He was unwilling to contend with others, and the Seven-deity Regions were certainly not foolish enough to challenge him. As for the Sea Area and the Sea Emperor, haha, the Fairy Pool Hunter was dead already. His father-in-law did not have that much of an advantage. The Vast Sea Emperor himself could not become a Fate Creator. Therefore, even if looking on in despair was of no use, he knew the most important thing was that once the Immortal-burying Pool and the Golden Book of Fate were united, it could create an absolute restraint on the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. When the time came he would make a few advantageous concessions, have a few discussions, and things would be fixed.

“So, nothing much has to be done about this so-called Fate Creator. Things would be settled after having a discussion with a few people. What’s the point of doing a lot about it?”, he pondered silently as he slowly disappeared into the horizon. All that was left were ruins as far as the eye could see.
