Omnipotent Sage 666 The Emerge of a Mysterious Figure

Jets of golden thunderbolts pierced the hollow like sharp swords. The poor galaxy was already in a dilapidated state, with the exception of the vast planet on which Zhou Bao had chosen to undergo his Thunder Tribulation.

Three bolts of the Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder shot down in succession, but they were all dissolved and absorbed by the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.

From the viewpoint of Wang She's lot who were standing outside the tribulation, it seemed quite severe; however everything was actually going on well inside the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. After it was turned on, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation diluted the energy of the Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder into numerous fine strands and made them disappear by absorbing them. Everything was going on in an orderly way, and the tribulation had not caused any damage to the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.

"The Yin and Yang Dust Formation really lives up to its reputation! It's not specifically designed for defense, but its defensive power is much stronger than all formations I know!" Zhou Bao was sitting cross-legged at the location of the Formation Eye and brooding. In front of him, a sanguine ball, which was a Fiery Eye, was floating in the air. This Fiery Eye had been refined by him into a formation hub that could control the whole Yin and Yang Dust Formation.

By virtue of this Fiery Eye, he could manipulate all parts of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation to disintegrate the power of thunderbolts while absorbing the abundant Original Essential Qi.

Above his head suspended the Black Pearl which was now only about one foot long. It was surging in the air, with intensified and thin streaks of golden thunderbolts curling around it, emitting streams of a wonderful essence.

"Bang!"

When the ninth shot of the Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder landed, Zhou Bao felt the entire Yin and Yang Dust Formation brimming over with the power of thunderbolts. Since the Original Essential Qi had already filled up every part of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, Zhou Bao was now immersed in the sea of the Original Essential Qi. This, mingled with the streaks of power from the thunderbolts was essentially the spirit of the Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder. Compared to the thunderbolts descending from the sky, the present thunderbolts in the Original Essential Qi were much milder, and they seeped gradually into Zhou Bao's body.

"Sizzling, sizzling, sizzling!" Zhou Bao felt so comfortable that he even closed his eyes to enjoy the sensation. The streaks of thunderbolt power were finer than hairs and softer than silk and they filled every inch of his body, right down to his pores. Even his blood and bone marrow were awash with the golden thunderbolts. As he was being purified by these thunderbolts, he sensed his body growing stronger at an incredible speed.

Of course, in comparison, the biggest change was to his spirit!

When exiting the Three Small Realms and obtaining the Individual Immortal Karma Rank, Zhou Bao had already successfully refined the Spirit Sea of Consciousness. In contrast with the Spirit Sea of Consciousness of an ordinary man, Zhou Bao's Spirit Sea of Consciousness was wider and contained more ferocious spirits. When he refined the Real Body of Demonic Ape Zhuyan, a place similar to a continent emerged in this fierce Sea of Consciousness, which was exactly where the Real Body of Zhuyan existed. Furthermore, after absorbing sufficient Icy Divine Light, this continent became an icy-cold land and the power of the Real Body of Zhuyan increased in strength. Doing his penance in the Sea of Divine Power for 300 years, Zhou Bao had finally ingested the Icy Divine Light absorbed in this Sea Area so that his Icy Divine Light had combined perfectly with the Mysterious Divine Light. As his Eight Nine Mysterious Skill kept improving, the area of this continent increased in size as well. However, over this continent stood a weird vortex. On the surface, the vortex looked quite similar with the soul vortex Zhou Bao used to cast out. But in comparison with the soul vortex, it was more profound, more austere and it was infused with a highly mysterious spirit.

That was the power of the Heavenly Magic Eye!

Heavenly Magic Eye!

Zhou Bao obtained this fairy weapon made by Fiery Eyes after he defeated and killed Yu Taixu. Then, he spent 300 years to successfully infuse it into his External Elixir between his eyebrows; thereby it became another hidden ace card for Zhou Bao.

The Heavenly Magic Eye had not been used to its full potential in the hands of Yu Taixu. One reason was that his opponent Zhou Bao was too powerful and whose strength was way beyond his estimation. The other was that Yu Taixu had not thoroughly figured out how to use it after this fairy weapon was refined. After all, he was not a man who possessed the Fiery Eyes bloodline, so his power and the power of this weapon did not blend together very well.

But Zhou Bao was different from him—Zhou Bao actually had Fiery Eyes and was an heir of the Fiery Eyes fire vein. Thus, after he infused the Heavenly Magic Eye into himself, he was like a tiger with wings and he soon mastered the usage of this fairy weapon. Therefore, such a vortex was reflected in his Sea of Consciousness.

That was the original state of Zhou Bao's Sea of Consciousness. As the Thunder Tribulation went on, his spirit started its purification process.

Technically, the Genuine Immortal Thunder Tribulation should be called the Ghost Immortal Thunder Tribulation, for its greatest use was not to purify one's body but to purify his spirit and turn it into an Original Spirit, which was the main reason for becoming a Ghost Immortal.

The Real Body, to be honest, was just an illusion condensed by willpower, Dharma power, and bloodline. Although it could exude great power, it was not substantial and was not truly permanent. Like the soul of a normal man, it would disperse after the man died. The small number of men who became ghosts were those who either had extremely firm willpower, were holding deep grudges or were clinging on to their unrealized dreams. But these ghosts were quite insubstantial as well. In cases of rain, thunder or lightning, these ghosts were easily destroyed and in strong gales, even easily blown away. Even if the weather was good, as time went by, they would still gradually disperse into nothing. Even though a Real Body was not much stronger than a ghost, the two were essentially the same.

However, the Original Spirit was not like that. After experiencing the purification of Thunder Tribulations, the Original Spirit would become substantial. Thus, even though one's body was destroyed, as long as his Original Spirit escaped, the man would not actually die, and even his cultivation would not decline. Once he found a suitable body, he could live a life full of vigor and vitality again. It was said that when a man reached the Genuine Immortal phase, he then became a true immortal, free of the restrictions of his body. Some Genuine Immortals would even stop practicing their bodies after going through Thunder Tribulations; instead, they would focus on practicing their Original Spirits. At last, their Original Spirits would become much stronger than their bodies, which would be useful in fighting or undergoing other Thunder Tribulations. There were indeed a few precedences of that kind.

It was just that after antiquity times, the Thunder Tribulations immortals endured were all from their respective macro worlds. Thus, the overall effect on spirits could not be achieved to that degree. Those Thunder Tribulations would at most mould your spirit into an Original Spirit and that was all. Therefore, in the present world, practitioners still attached great importance to their physical bodies.

But unlike others, what Zhou Bao was undergoing was the Void Thunder Tribulation and he was doing this together with his Supreme Fairy Weapon. The benefits he got was too immense. Very soon, his Sea of Consciousness was suffused with the power of thunderbolts. When the power of thunderbolts was purifying his spirit, it did not leave out any single part. It gradually blended into the Sea of Consciousness and purified every part of the sea, including even the continent floating in it.

"Woo-hoo!"

This spirit purification was totally beneficial, had no menacing effect and was a highly pleasant experience. For a moment, every part of Zhou Bao's body felt as if he had arrived into heaven; the feeling was so blissful.

But all too soon, this blissful experience came to an end.

Nine shots of Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder disappeared into thin air. His Yin and Yang Dust Formation had successively dissolved the Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder and helped him overcome the first Thunder Tribulation. However, in the galaxy where the vast planet he chose to undergo his Thunder Tribulations was located, three other vast planets were on the brink of falling apart. Those planets looked like war zones that had undergone battles much like the scientific movies he had watched in his previous life. Well, galaxies were all the same, and now the only intact planet in this galaxy was the one he was standing on.

Sitting in the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, Zhou Bao did not pay any attention to the other vast planets. After launching the first Thunder Tribulation, he then initiated the second one without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The magic formation in the hollow suddenly brightened. In a split second, its light grew a thousand times brighter than the star. In the center of the magic formation, the projection of the Gate of Origin started quivering, and the thin crack between the door and its frame suddenly doubled in width.

Deafening roars echoed from the gate, and jets of solid purple thunderbolts shot out from inside.

"Splash! Splash!"

It turned out that the second Thunder Tribulation waiting for Zhou Bao was a thunderstorm comprising of the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder!

The Nine Heavens Purple Thunder normally appeared in the tribulation when a Ghost Immortal was about to transform into a Human Immortal. But now, it popped out at the second Thunder Tribulation of Zhou Bao.

Furthermore, nobody had ever encountered such a Nine Heavens Purple Thunder like what Zhou Bao was handling now —the thunderstorm was pouring down in torrents, drenching every corner of the galaxy.

"Boom, boom, boom—!"

Due to this, the whole galaxy was suffering. The vast planets that had already been shattered, dissolved under the bombardment of the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder, including the center star.

Meanwhile, the vast planet where Zhou Bao was undergoing his tribulations began to vibrate as well. Facing the boundless purple thunderstorm, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation felt an overbearing pressure!

The Fiery Eye in front of Zhou Bao started shining blazingly. Then, 49 jets of azure light rose from the 49 flags, merged into the red light of the Fiery Eye, and formed six jets of light which instantly zoomed out of the formation.

The six colorful jets of light constituted a gorgeous cover which enveloped the whole vast planet. Numerous space-times dissolved and then reappeared. In this second, the vast planet seemed not to be only a vast planet; instead, it became a complete macro world with countless space-times forming around it, together with lots of space-time mazes. Meanwhile, once these purple thunderbolts dropped onto the six colorful jets of light, they rapidly vanished into those space-times. Their power was dissolved, and their menacing effect on the entire vast planet started to wane.

"Making life and death end in bubbles and turn everything in the Yin and Yang worlds into dust! What a Yin and Yang Dust Formation! It is able to conjure a macro world to fend off the enemy! No wonder it is so famous!" Watching the method Zhou Bao exercised to resist the Thunder Tribulation, Child-endowing Buddha could not stifle his praise and amazement.

"Beautiful technique, truly beautiful technique. It never occurred to me that in this life, I could have a chance to witness such a Void Thunder Tribulation. How blessed I am!" In a hollow not far from Wang She and Child-endowing Buddha, a trace of obscure fluctuation emerged, and a human shadow abruptly leaped out from the hollow. With an astonished expression, this person was staring at the place where Zhou Bao was doing his Thunder Tribulations while saying, "Who on earth is that extraordinary person undergoing his Thunder Tribulations in this Desolate Ancient Star Area?"
