Chapter 584: The Power of the Divine Device

“What happened? Who did this? What a bold person he is!” Xiao Sheng, ashen-faced, looked at the corpses strewn all over the place. These were the corpses of the men who had been sent by the five biggest sects in the Three Western Regions to guard the Transmitting Formation in the Infinite Star Sea. Every one of them had been a very trustworthy practitioner of great strength. They all died in extremely miserable circumstances, including some practitioners at the Venerable Realm. Each of them had a bloody, fist-sized hole in the chest and forehead. Their eyes were blank and staring, precisely the sign that their spirits had left them.

Xiao Sheng clenched his fists, and a fierce light shone from his eyes. “The Jade Shuttle, it’s the Jade Shuttle. These wounds have been caused by the Jade Shuttle. The Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain did it!” He growled in a low voice, and a menacing air emanated from his body. “Qi Miaoyi, Qi Miaoyi, come out! I know you did this! Come out!”

“Hahaha, Xiao Sheng, I’ve been here all this while. You can’t see me because your cultivation is not high enough. No need to yell so hysterically. Shame on you for causing the Palace of Eternal Life to lose face!” A shrill voice sounded in Xiao Sheng’s ear. Later, the figure of a youth appeared before them.

“Qi Miaoyi from the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, paying my respects to King Wuyang!” The moment when the youth named Qi Miaoyi showed up, he saluted Zhou Bao with a very benign smile. But in the eyes of Zhou Bao, his smile was as treacherous as that of a poisonous snake.

“The Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, Qi Miaoyi, interesting!” Zhou Bao nodded his head. “It seems you’re not happy that I am here!”

“Don’t misunderstand me, King Wuyang. It’s not me but one of my friends who is not happy with you. But since you’re already here, you might as well stay on!”

“Qi Miaoyi, are you crazy? Do you really want to become the enemy of the Four Great Sects by doing this? Does the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain have the power to fight against the Four Great Sects at the same time?”

A trace of disdain flashed across Qi Miaoyi’s face as he looked at the furious Xiao Sheng. He said, “King Wuyang, I am here mainly for you. To be precise, I’m here for your two fairy weapons. As long as you hand over the two fairy weapons to me, I promise I’ll let you pass through the Transmitting Formation!”

Zhou Bao laughed. He replied, “I was wondering why you are here, and it turns out that you are here for my fairy weapons. Interesting. They are with me. However, it’s hard to tell whether you have the ability to get them or not!”

“Hmph, Zhou Bao, do you think this place is your Wuyang Region?”

Before Zhou Bao’s voice died away, quick as a flash, Ye Qingtian showed up and said, “I’ve laid many traps here to attack you, so you’d better not expect to get out alive today!”

“Ye Qingtian, haha. How wonderful! I finally found you by chance after traveling far and wide in search of you. Just let me capture you first!” While talking, Zhou Bao suddenly raised his hand to grasp Ye Qingtian.

The Innate Qi Catching Skill!

Due to the ferocious power of the cyan giant hand, it instantly broke through Ye Qingtian’s Protective Gang Qi and was about to blow him up due to its great force.

“What a cheap trick!” Ye Qingtian’s Gang Qi collapsed at the first blow, but he had fairy weapons in his possession as well. The moment when Zhou Bao’s giant hand destroyed his Gang Qi, a deep blue halo appeared in a flash. It rotated quickly and cut the cyan hand violently in half.

The chilly air pervaded the whole space and the surrounding temperature dropped dramatically.

One degree Celsius.

Minus 10 degrees Celsius.

Minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Minus 100 degrees Celsius.

Minus 200 degrees Celsius.

…

Within a few seconds, the pneuma in the secluded space condensed into floating, colorful ice crystals. Even Xiao Sheng, a practitioner at the Venerable Realm, was ashen-faced now. He desperately activated his Dharma power to envelop himself and condensed his body into a mass to protect himself from the bitter cold.

“It’s the North Pole Frozen Wheel!”

The deep blue halo warded off Zhou Bao’s Innate Qi Catching Movement and slashed repeatedly at Zhou Bao. It cut the space between Ye Qingtian and Zhou Bao in half along the way and exposed the infinite void in this space. Then, a huge crack with a strong suction power was formed. It sucked all the colorful ice crystals into the space.

“Ding!”

All this happened in the blink of an eye. The North Pole Frozen Wheel had already rushed to Zhou Bao’s front, but it failed to slash him because it was blocked by the scepter in his hand.

It was a fairy weapon, the scepter of a Bronze Deity. It had grown a little bit longer than its original length. Now it was more than three feet long, closer to four feet. There was no big change in its appearance. But atop it was a lotus flower, on which a blood-red bead could be seen.

The Fiery Eye!

Now, after the scepter had blocked the North Pole Frozen Wheel, a weird red beam glowed from the top of the Fiery Eye and the patterns around the scepter glittered as well.

“God said, let there be light!”

Sounded oddly resonant, the voice rang in Zhou Bao’s ear. The blood-red light emanated from the Fiery Eye on the top of the scepter and pervaded the entire space instantly. Covered by the blood-red light, the chill of the North Pole Frozen Wheel faded away quickly.

“What’s this? Is it your newly acquired fairy weapon? Are you able to use it already? No, it’s impossible. You’ve just obtained it!” Both Ye Qingtian and Qi Miaoyi salivated in greed as they saw the strange scepter in Zhou Bao’s hand. Apart from showing their greed, they were quite shocked too.

This fairy weapon was obviously the one Zhou Bao had obtained from the deal with the five biggest sects. It had only a day or two since he had it in his possession, so how was he able to use it straight away?

What kind of means on earth had he adopted that enabled him to master the usage of this fairy weapon?

“Hmph, this fairy weapon is destined to belong to me, so it acknowledged me as its master automatically. Isn’t that a reasonable explanation?” Of course, Zhou Bao would not tell them the truth about the scepter. He just sneered while operating it.

The blood-red light expanded and condensed into a red egg-shaped canopy, which covered both Zhou Bao and Xiao Sheng.

The Grand Light Canopy!

The master of this Bronze Scepter was a light deity from the most powerful Divine Tribe, the Arthur Divine Tribe, among all of the western Divine Tribes. Although he was a deity of the lowest rank, what he had acquired was the inheritance of the most orthodox Light Divine Skill.

The Grand Light Canopy was the most powerful protective skill of the Arthur Divine Tribe.

Because of the special materials in this divine device, Zhou Bao not only had absolute control over it, but he had the mysterious power in the Fiery Eye infused in it after he had refined it with the Fiery Eye. All the functions of that Fiery Eye had been activated.

However, Zhou Bao felt ashamed and regretted what he had done; for the Fiery Eye he had used for refining this scepter was neither the Emperor Wheel Fiery Eye nor the Thorn Wheel Fiery Eye, but the most ordinary Fiery Eye of Five Elements.

The Fiery Eye of Five Elements, just as its name implied, was the Fiery Eye that possessed the power of the five elements: namely, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Nevertheless, the Fiery Eye of Five Elements was merely a general term. As long as it had the power of the five elements, it would be called the Fiery Eye of Five Elements, which was the most popular and also the most common Fiery Eye.

The quality of all Fiery Eyes of Five Elements differed. The lowest was the Fiery Eye with a single property of the five elements. The better ones had two properties. The strongest and the best, of course, possessed all the five elements. This kind of Fiery Eye was able to stand up to the other three kinds of Fiery Eyes. But the Fiery Eye he used for refining the scepter was merely an ordinary one among the Fiery Eyes of Five Elements. With the power of the fire property, it was born to control the spiritual fires around the world. Though it was powerful, its power, however, was not that terrifying.

Thus, although all its power had been activated, its strength was equivalent to that of a Taihao Fairy Weapon.

Of course, Zhou Bao was the only person who was a little disappointed with the power of the Taihao Fairy Weapon. If it had been anyone else, they would have been extremely delighted.

The combination of the Fiery Eye and the Bronze Scepter also fully activated the power of the latter. Two Taihao Fairy Weapons combining and working together, produced a power that was no longer “one plus one equals two”, but far greater than two.

The blood-like canopy was extremely strong. It stood firm and allowed the North Pole Frozen Wheel to tear the space apart and freeze the attack of the space-time.

“Ye Qingtian, I told you that you were unable to control the North Pole Frozen Wheel and make full use of all its functions. Such a treasure is wasted if it is in your hand. Give it to me now!”

While speaking, Zhou Bao raised the scepter in his hand lightly and continued, “God said, my light shines in the sky and disperses all spirits!”

Blazing blood-red light shot out of the Fiery Eye as quick as a flash. In an instant, the Fiery Eye seemed to be the incarnation of the sun in the sky. The blood-red light surged and enveloped the entire space.

“No!” Ye Qingtian and Qi Miaoyi exclaimed at the same time. There were two different types of rays protecting them. Ye Qingtian was protected by the North Pole Frozen Wheel, while over Qi Miaoyi’s head, a purple jade shuttle appeared and turned into a purple halo, keeping out the light of the Fiery Eye.

“A fairy weapon?” Zhou Bao’s eyes lit up as he saw the purple shuttle. “No wonder you are so bold. It turns out that you have two fairy weapons. Do you really think these fairy weapons are able to prevent me from leaving here?”

Zhou Bao’s eyes burned with greed. He raised the scepter in his hand and a tremendous power began to flow through his body.

It was not the Mysterious Divine Light but the Golden Dharma Power.

“God said, God creates everything and God controls the world!”

“God said, since the water flows forward, so should everything advance forward too?”

Zhou Bao sang out the ancient incantation in a loud voice within the midst of the strange magic power. Due to his voice, the blood-red light shone brightly and looked very magnificent. The inexhaustible blood-red light broke through the protection of those two fairy weapons in a flash and hit Ye Qingtian and Qi Miaoyi directly.

“Oh, no!”

The scorching light was coming near them. They knew that something was wrong, but enveloped by the blood-red light, they could neither find a place to hide nor fight back. It seemed that this would be the end of it for them.

“It’s impossible! How can he be so powerful? How can this fairy weapon be so mighty!”

Their minds, for a moment, were full of doubts.

Just when they were in this helpless state, an angry roar rang out. “How dare you refine the eyeball of my tribesman. Even a thousand deaths could not atone for your crime!”

Along with this roar, two rays of blood-red light tore the void open and hit the jade-like light canopy. The canopy of extreme hardness darkened abruptly.
