Chapter 449: The Genuine Immortal in Lord of Heaven’s Realm Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Boom, boom, boom!
Facing such a fierce attack as Zhou Bao’s Great Fusion technic was the last thing all those Genuine Immortals flying towards him expected, and none of them was able to evade the attack. The luckiest one only had half of his body fused under the blow of Zhou bao’s deadly technique, letting out an extremely shrilling screech and made his escape as a shaft of black light shot out from the top of his head. For a Genuine Immortal, body and spirit were both equally important. Therefore, losing his body costed the lost of most of his skills, making him an easy target to trap. In addition to this, the spirit of a Genuine Immortal was highly precious. Thus, once someone saw you lose your body, no matter whether you were their allies or not, they would definitely scramble for your spirit and try to refine it, especially in this prison full of wicked and violent guys. Thus, this Genuine Immortal decided to flee instantly before everybody realized what had happened so that his spirit would not be caught by others.
There were also other two Genuine Immortals, though not as unlucky as the first one, also badly injured. One of them had lost his left arm, and now he was floating in the air, pale-faced and thinking about whether he should keep going or retreat, which made him feel really embarrassed.
“You guys, why do you have to do all this fighting and killing? Is it fun?”
“Your Excellency, who are you? Why did you come here? We’ve never seen you in the Dragon Abyss Prison!”
The least wounded one was a Genuine Immortal who had undergone three Tribulations, a real figure in the Venerable Realm. Although he was injured, the wound healed itself in an instant. Now, he was staring at Zhou Bao with a stern look, careful not to make any reckless action.
“Hehe, No wonder you can’t recognize me! When I was thrown into that Dragon Abyss Prison by The Rolling Dragon King, you were not even born yet. Tut, tut, tut!” after saying that, Zhou Bao let out a burst of weird laughter again.
Even though the Genuine Immortal did not buy Zhou Bao’s claim, he had a sharp enough spiritual mind common among the Genuine Immortals that he still sensed the dreadful spirit emanated by Zhou Bao’s demonic Qi. Although this spirit was not quite fierce, it still made Zhou Bao’s enemy unable to sprout a trace of will to withstand him. Just like the case with the Manager of that Right-angle Bay, this was natural pressure a superior evil beast could impose upon an inferior one.
“Now that you claim to be a senior, you must know the reason for this conflict. What’s up? Does the senior want to have a hand in this?”
“Hehehe, of course. I feel irreconcilable hatred for the Rolling Dragon King, so I’ll certainly have a hand in this!”
“If so, then, please pardon my rudeness!” As that Genuine Immortal said so, three dots of mysterious fluorescent light emerged around him, sending out a faint pressure. It seemed that this guy, after sensing the extraordinary power of Zhou Bao, was about to strike with all his strength.
“My little friend, don’t be nervous!” Zhou Bao started mystifying his identity deliberately: he mimicked the tone of the Emperor of the Netherworld and kept shaking his hands, “This time, the reason I interrupted my training was not for having a fight with you guys. Since we are all caught in this Dragon Abyss Prison, the Rolling Dragon King must be the common enemy of all of us. Then, why should we fight against each other like this?”
“Senior, why do you ask such an obvious question when you must know the answer? It’s true that the Rolling Dragon King is our common enemy, but this Dragon Abyss Prison is under his control, so whenever he finds us unpleasant, he can launch the Heavenly Calamity. You, as a senior, must also know that once the Heavenly Calamity is launched, even Genuine Immortals will have a hard time resisting it, let alone Individual Immortals. That means we will not even have a chance to fight back. Therefore, is it right to ask all of us to die for the trouble those men produced?” while saying this, the Genuine Immortal also revealed his grief and indignation mixed with some resignation. Zhou Bao started to understand this man better: being thrown into a jail was not that big of a deal for a Genuine Immortal, but now, in order to save his own life, he had to surrender to the man responsible for his incarceration and work for him. Although he was already a Genuine Immortal, he still found this really insulting. However, if you want to pass under the eave of someone else, you had to lower your head. Thus, in order to stay alive, he was forced to put aside all his hatred towards the Dragon King and help him.
Zhou Bao nodded, showing understanding and sympathy, “You have your point. There is no reason for you to die here for just some strangers. However, if you continue to fight like this, The Rolling Dragon King will be the only one who will be pleased by this scene!”
“We already know that but this is the only thing we can do to save our lives. Unless you have some smart ideas that can convince me right now, Senior.”
“Of course I have a good plan!” Zhou Bao said this with his head held high, displaying an unfathomable smile. “I know you’ve endured three Divine Tribulations, so you must have a high status at your place, haven’t you?”
“What? Do you think I’m not good enough to be your opponent?” The Genuine Immortal said those words as he blushed out of humiliation, and Zhou Bao could feel a freezing murderous intent from his rival.
However, that tense situation was fixed by Zhou Bao’s next words:
“Stop it now! I have a way to bring all of you out of the Dragon Abyss Prison without getting hurt!”
This ordinary words sounded like a clap of thunder to the Genuine immortal, making him unable to move due to the astonishment. Then, he asked with an utterly incredulous expression, “What, what did you just say?”
“I said exactly what you heard: I have a way to bring all of you out of the Dragon Abyss Prison without getting hurt, so both sides should stop fighting now!”
“You, you are not playing some kind of trick, are you?”
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Zhou Bao answered, “I won’t trick you. I’ll wait for you here. Bring all of the Genuine Immortals to this place. Look, being surrounded by such powerful individuals, even if I have an extremely powerful ability, how could I even dare to lie to all of you?”
“Bring all Genuine Immortals here?” That Genuine Immortal was stunned for a second. He even considered that Zhou Bao was just looking for an excuse to kill all the Genuine Immortals at once. However, they were truly Genuine Immortals, how could they be that easy to deal with? that was impossible. What’s more, the total number of Genuine Immortals from both sides was about 800 or 1000. Even if this guy was a king of the heaven, he could not possibly round them up in one swoop, neither could he even have a chance to run away. Therefore, this guy could not be so stupid to fool himself.
The Genuine Immortal did not say a word but looked really serious at Zhou Bao before turning away.
Not after too long, all the yelling and fighting faded away and the two sides began to separate from each other and retreat to their respective sides. Then, the Genuine Immortal who just spoke to Zhou Bao flew back, landed in front of him and bowed. However, this time he did not come alone, as two other Genuine Immortals accompanied him.
Zhou Bao became slightly altered because these two Genuine Immortals were emitting an unbelievably powerful pressure, which was something that an ordinary Genuine Immortal with three or four Tribulations absolutely could not even try to rival. The two sides which had retreated backward stepped back once more because of the incredible power emanating from the two figures in front of Zhou Bao. Due to their low cultivations, Great Dark Lord Du and his lot could not bear such pressure at all, so they all took their leave to go far away from there. Shortly after that, only Zhou Bao and the three Genuine Immortals were the only ones who still remained on the western part of the city.
“I am Yuan Xiucheng!” The Genuine Immortal who talked with Zhou Bao earlier started introducing himself and the other two. “This is my master, Lord of Heaven Beicang, and this is the owner of Black Iron City, Lord of Heaven Luohua!”
Lord of Heaven Beicang, and Lord of Heaven Luohua?
Zhou Bao’s eyes went transfixed, revealing a hint of fear.
They were Lords of Heaven!
Only those Genuine Immortals who had undergone six Thunder Tribulations could be titled as a Lord of Heaven!
When you entered the Mysterious Realm and ranked as an Immortal, regardless of your name, there were some rules about each title and rank.
For example, Individual Immortals were commonly titled as “Zi”.
Xiaoyaozi was a good example of this.
If a man went through one Thunder Tribulation, jumped out of three realms, and entered the Karmic Rank of Genuine Immortal, he would be called as a “Sage”, like Taihai Sage and that Mysterious Turtle Sage that appeared many years ago.
Once a Genuine Immortal pulled through two to five Thunder Tribulations, he would be titled as “Venerable”, such as Thunder Dragon Venerable and Venerable Black Tortoise.
But if one endured six Thunder Tribulations, his strength and status would be severely changed. Thus, for those Genuine Immortals who experienced six Thunder Tribulations existed the title “Lord of Heaven”.
Even in ancient times, becoming Lord of Heaven Realm was something quite rare, not to mention how uncommon it is nowadays. Each Lord of Heaven has control over immense power and resources: they can summon the storm and command the rain. If they stomped their feet on the ground, the land would quake for a while!
Zhou Bao could never have imagined that he would run into such big experts, two at once actually. With this situation, he would have to reevaluate the strength of The Rolling Dragon King. Given that he was able to imprison two Lords of Heaven, he must be above the Lord of Heaven Realm.
Six Thunder Tribulation! Lord of Heaven Realm!
Facing two Lords of Heaven at the same time, Zhou Bao felt his heart thumping madly. But luckily, he had his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill to help him conceal every ounce of his soul, otherwise, he would just make a fool of himself.
“Tut, tut, tut. I never thought my plan would attract two Lords of Heaven here, please forgive me for being disrespectful before!” Zhou Bao cupped his hands and bowed slightly towards the two Lords of Heaven. “I reckoned this would be very tricky and hard to pull off at first, but with the presence of you two, it will be much easier!”
“Your Excellency, don’t keep us wondering about it any longer: How on earth can you get us out of this Dragon Abyss Prison safe and sound?” Lord of Heaven Beicang said with a little impatience. He did not even ask about Zhou Bao’s background, but anyway, with his current strength, he didn’t even need to care for Zhou Bao’s background. Even if Zhou Bao’s claim about being imprisoned in this Dragon Abyss Prison since its foundation was true, Lord of Heaven Beicang had no fear of him. Since there was no spiritual Qi in the Dragon Abyss Prison, no one could practice their martial skills so no matter how long it passed, everyone remained at the same level as he was when first entered this place. Therefore, Zhou Bao would not be a threat to two Lords of Heaven no matter how long he had been in this prison. Although Lord of Heaven Beicang detected that Zhou Bao hid his own spirit perfectly with a wonderful technique, he was sure that he had not endured six Thunder Tribulations. Hence, this guy in front of him might be a Venerable at most, and that level of Immortals was not something Beicang cared about. He merely wanted to hear what Zhou Bao had just told Yuan Xiucheng. If he was telling the truth, that would be ideal. Otherwise, he would not mind tearing up this liar who had been trapped in the Dragon Abyss Prison for so long that he had lost his mind, and then, turn him into a tasty meal.
