Chapter 601: Breaking the Illusive Ripple with Three Hammer Moves

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Boom!

The loud bang spread to the sky from Yunzhong City just like a loud crash of a thunderbolt in an extremely clear sky.

The whole ground in Yunzhong City shook three times. All the practitioners whose cultivations were below the Genuine Immortal Realm, even the Individual Immortals, were bleeding heavily from their mouths and noses due to the soundwave and shockwave. Even Genuine Immortals who hadn’t reached the Venerable Realm suffered the surge of their qi and blood and were unable to stand steadily.

“What happened?!”

“What is going on?”

“Everyone, look! The Transmitting Hall collapsed!”

“Impossible, the Transmitting Hall actually collapsed!”

…

Just when the loud bang sounded out, all the practitioners with good eyesight had seen clearly that the Transmitting Hall in the center of Yunzhong City collapsed and turned into ruins. But then, there was a strange light flashing over the ruins, rising up into the sky.

“It is the Transmitting Formation leading to the Pond of Illusive Ripples!”

“Transmitting to the Pond of Illusive Ripples? Hasn’t this Transmitting Formation been blocked?”

“Yes, there are more than a dozen Venerables guarding it! Why did it open again?!”

…

Crazy discussions spread from inside the Yunzhong City to the outside until the light of the Transmitting Formation disappeared. Only then did a courageous practitioner enter the Transmitting Hall. But the situation inside it made him shudder.

The Transmitting Hall had already been turned into a field of debris. A bunch of Venerables who were originally responsible for guarding the hall now looked pale and sat on the ground; the brilliance on their bodies no longer existed. It looked as if their qi and blood had been exhausted from their appearances. They were all severely injured and fear could easily be seen through their eyes and expressions as if they had seen the most terrible thing in their life.

Perhaps this was indeed the most horrible and dreadful thing they had ever seen. When Zhou Bao constrained several Venerables in front of the city gate of Yunzhong City, they found out that something was wrong. They wanted to come out to check, but before they could get out of the Transmitting Formation, a huge, green hammer shadow appeared in its horrifying form. With a boom, it hit the top of the Transmitting Hall.

This was the origin of that loud noise. Even these Venerables didn’t dare to recall the might of that hammer again. In their long life, they had seen many powerful celestial devices and even fairy weapons. But even the most powerful celestial devices and fairy weapons that they had seen had not brought them the huge shock that the shadow of that hammer had brought to them.

It was a kind of power that ignored everything, went forward with indomitable will, and could destroy heaven and earth.

Under the hammer, all the defenses of the Transmitting Hall had been torn apart like a piece of paper, leaving no room for it to resist the attack. Even though the hammer was not aimed at them, these Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm still looked dejected and depressed, and they were badly injured just due to the wind brought by the hammer. They could do nothing but watch the man in cyan with two green hammers hanging behind his butt leisurely launch the Transmitting Formation and send himself straight to the Pond of Illusive Ripples. The worst thing was that after his transmission, the light of the Transmitting Formation immediately dimmed, and he, obviously, had destroyed the formation.

Lord of Heaven, this was definitely the strength of the Lord of Heaven Realm. The information on that image did not lie to them. This person was Zhou Bao, who had been mentioned in that image. He indeed had the combat capability to fight against an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. This was the truth rather than bragging.

But unfortunately, it was too late and also useless for them to know this now.

Zhou Bao had entered the Pond of Illusive Ripple at that moment.

The Pond of Illusive Ripples was a name for a place. It was a strange place in the Infinite Star Sea. A long time ago, it was a deathtrap. Even the Genuine Immortals at the Lord of Heaven Realm were unable to come out if they entered it. In the beginning, the rulers of the two Star Areas thought that there must be some treasures hiding in the Pond of Illusive Ripples and that that place was quite valuable. Therefore, they launched their continuous explorations. And finally, 50,000 years ago, the matter was cleared up.

It didn’t contain some kind of treasure at all. It turned out to be a graveyard of a specific species of Primordial Fierce Beasts: the Giant Clam.

Primordial Fierce Beast, Giant Clam.

It was very famous even among countless Fierce Beasts in primitive times. Although it was not one of the most powerful Six Royals like Zhuyan and Nine-headed Fierce Beast, it was also known as the king of Illusionary Techniques and was born to be skilled in those techniques.

Originally, the Pond of Illusive Ripples was merely a slightly larger meteorite, but in primitive times, not knowing when exactly, it became the place where all the Giant Clams in the nearby Star Areas died. Not knowing how many years had passed, it became the Pond of Illusive Ripples then. But because Giant Clams were the kings of Illusionary Techniques, even though all these Fierce Beasts had died and kept piled up over the years, their corpses still had a strong hallucinogenic effect. Powerful Illusionary Techniques enveloped the whole meteorite. Looking at it from a distance, it seemed like a pool of water in the hollow. It was very eye-catching and also made people feel extremely curious.

This kind of curiosity killed countless lives. After tens of thousands of years, the practitioners from the two Star Areas finally solved the mystery and found a solution to it. At last, they built this place into a very special prison especially used for suppressing the powerful practitioners from other areas. These practitioners were totally unfamiliar with this place, and undoubtedly, they knew nothing about the mystery of the Pond of Illusive Ripples. Once they fell into the pond, even if they were practitioners at the Lord of Heaven Realm, ninety percent of them may not be able to get out. If there were more people, the two Star Areas would send another Lord of Heaven to suppress them. Before long, the Lords of Heaven who had fallen into the deathtrap would either die in the Pond of Illusive Ripples or tell all their secrets under the influence of Illusionary Techniques – no exception.

This time around, it was also a very natural thing for them to lead the expert practitioners from the Heaven Realm to the Pond of Illusive Ripples.

The Transmitting Formation of the Pond of Illusive Ripples was very weird. Zhou Bao just came out of the formation and then a piece of beautiful – unreal beautiful – prairie came into his sight. Luckily, Zhou Bao had already found out the truth of the Pond of Illusive Ripples before he came here. Otherwise, he would perhaps fall into the trap.

“Damn.” Looking at the endless beautiful prairie in front of him, Zhou Bao swore in a low voice. A green light flashed through his hand, and then, a hammer shadow swept over the sky.

BOOM!!!

Heaven, earth, space, and pneuma.

All of these were dispersed at the moment when he flung his hammer into the air. The boundless illusory dreamland disappeared immediately, and the true colors of the Pond of Illusive Ripples were revealed: It was a white and foggy continent.

“As expected, when one’s power is strong enough, everything in front of one is nothing but floating clouds!” Since the illusory dreamland had been destroyed with a single move from the hammer, Zhou Bao felt very comfortable. He stretched his right hand backward and took another hammer.

“Hihi, to besiege the enemy post in order to attack reinforcements coming to its aid, this is indeed a good idea. But unfortunately, you encountered me today!” Zhou Bao conducted no other action but just swang two green hammers ruthlessly at the ground with great force.

“It’s merely a damn meteorite. I will smash you directly and we will see how you continue to execute Illusionary Techniques!”

BOOM! RUMBLE!!!

Heaven collapsed and earth cracked apart!

God knew how much strength he had exerted when he had swung these two hammers at the ground. Anyway, the ground suddenly broke apart, not knowing how deep the crack was. However, the crack was rapidly extending forward. The surrounding white fog had long been completely dispersed, and the pneuma had dried up.

The whole meteorite shook as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.

“Who?”

“What big guts!”

“What do you want to do?!”

…

Such a big noise must have stirred up the whole Pond of Illusive Ripples. Currently, the pond was only guarded by the Divine Lord of Red Sun, a Lord of Heaven. Nonetheless, there was also a large crowd of practitioners around him. And all of them were startled by the sudden shock.

A blazing divine thought swept over the Pond of Illusive Ripples. Not knowing what method that person had used, the powerful illusion in the pond exerted no influence on his divine thought. Zhou Bao had tried once too, but his divine thought could not go beyond 100 feet. The interference that the illusion caused on his divine thought was too heavy. It was exactly because of this that he was too lazy to conduct a detailed investigation and chose to destroy the illusion directly.

“Hmph, is it the Divine Lord of Red Sun?” Sensing this blazing divine thought, Zhou Bao smiled. The moment he heard his name, he could tell that the Divine Lord of Red Sun must be skilled at using fire. Zhou Bao himself was good at using fire too. If it weren’t for today’s bad timing, Zhou Bao would like to fight with him to his heart’s content. Unfortunately, it was not a good opportunity now. Although he had two terrifying hammers in his possession, he still knew that there was always someone stronger. At this critical moment, he didn’t want to set off unnecessary problems.

After he made up his mind, Zhou Bao swang the two hammers fiercely and pounded them at the blazing divine thought when it was about to focus on him.

Boom~~ssh~~!

The hollow collapsed.

Invisible ripples spread out and slammed into the divine thought of the Divine Lord of Red Sun.

Puff!!

Thousands of miles away, with his eyes shot wide open, the Divine Lord of Red Sun looked quite surprised and fiercely spat out a mouthful of blood. This gush of blood was so sudden that no one could react to it in time, and the blood sprayed all over the face of a Venerable in front of him. Meanwhile, his face turned bluish white and his spirit seemed to be badly damaged.

“Divine Lord, are you alright?”

“Damn it! Go, hurry up! This guy is not someone we can fight with!” The Divine Lord of Red Sun managed to stand up and say these words with effort. His red face had completely turned bluish white. His fiery red beard, which was like steel needles, also drooped and no longer had the usual imposing manner.

BOOM!!!

Before the practitioners next to him could react and find out what had happened to this Lord of Heaven, there was another loud noise far away. This time around, the earth at their feet finally began to crack. The illusion, which filled the whole Pond of Illusive Ripples at first, began to collapse completely. The practitioners who were trapped in the illusion finally let out a cry that shook the whole place.

“I don’t know which friend saved me. Huan Ri from the Bigwheel Temple, have my thanks!”

“Hong Taihe from the Divine Wind Palace, have my thanks!”

The two voices were heard from far, far away, and the two powerful Qi Powers rose from the hollow too.

“F*ck, it turns out to be Hong Taihe that bastard. I wouldn’t have come so early if I knew that!” Hearing Huan Ri’s voice, Zhou Bao didn’t have any special feeling. However, when he heard Hong Taihe’s voice, he felt that he really had bad luck. He just wanted to do something good, but unexpectedly, he saved his enemy.

In a bad mood, he didn’t answer either of them but directly swang his hammers for the third time. This time, he infused the Heavenly Jade Technique in his hammers!!

Rat-a-tat!!!!

After a violent tremor, the Pond of Illusive Ripples was no longer able to withstand the destruction of Zhou Bao’s big hammers and finally collapsed completely.
