After making up their mind, the two leaped out of the Void Traveller one after the other. With their torrential Gang Qi surging, a vast power emitted from their bodies and turned into an infinitely compelling pressure which directly crushed towards the island.

The purple Gang Qi formed a shadow of Heavenly Devil behind Great Dark Lord Du, letting out silent roars. Great Dark Lord Du had cast out his Heavenly Devil Real Body! Meanwhile, Zhou Bao was not resigned to playing second fiddle. He was surrounded by fluttering dark golden Gang Qi, producing hot airflows that were running around like rivers appallingly, evaporating all the grey smoke flushing onto his skin.

The smoke erupted from those volcanoes had all evaporated and turned into gas under the impact of Zhou Bao’s Real Essence Gang Qi.

Even when Great Dark Lord Du, who revealed his Heavenly Devil Real Body, got a bit close to Zhou Bao, he felt a scorching pain in the body part that came into contact with Zhou Bao’s Gang Qi. He let out a twisted moan and jumped aside, staring at Zhou Bao as if he was a monster.

Zhou Bao had launched his Gang Qi to the full extent. Now, nine dark golden Fire Dragons were wheeling around him, and there were shadows of two Real Dragons behind him. The grey smoke had long been gasified and thus was nowhere to be seen. The sky also seemed to be affected by Zhou Bao, because the original white clouds had turned scarlet. In the beginning, there was only a tiny patch of scarlet cloud, but soon it sprawled in all directions. All the clouds hanging above the Tusk Island went scarlet as if they all caught fire. Rays of light reflected from those clouds had bathed the whole island in red. Also, the air started getting hot, and the smoke that transformed into various forms to fight against Yu Nantian also began to dissolve under the influence of the burning air, enabling Yu Nantian to finally get away. Meanwhile, the five experts of the Divine Wind Palace, who had also been stuck in the smoke, felt a considerable reduction of their stress. They then broke free from the smoke by taking advantage of that Pure Yang Celestial Device.

After getting out of their troubles, Yu Nantian and the five men of the Divine Wind Palace all stayed put, looking at Zhou Bao and Great Dark Lord Du who were still in the air with a mixed expression. In fact, all their attention were focused on Zhou Bao, and even Great Dark Lord Du’s expression became wondrous. He believed that he already thought very highly of Zhou Bao’s strength, but now it turned out that he had significantly underestimated his strength. At first, he only suggested Zhou Bao strike together with him in case his sole power was not sufficient. In this way, he could test Zhou Bao’s real power and show off his own strength as well. However, after Zhou Bao’s amazing performance, it was Great Dark Lord Du who found it hard to wind up this competition in his favor.

“This damn dude! He is messing with me on purpose!”

He gave a wry smile, but as a man who respected fair plays, he withdrew the Heavenly Devil Real Body behind him and leaped back into the Void Traveller in a flash.

“Seems that he doesn’t need me to nail down all this!” Great Dark Lord Du looked at Chen Dao and gave him a smile. Then, he shot a glance at those monks of the Bigwheel Temple, whose expressions were all sour right now. Everyone knew that the Bigwheel Temple held a grudge against Zhou Bao. Now that Zhou Bao displayed such a strong power in face of the Bigwheel Temple, it was obvious that Zhou Bao was trying to threaten the Bigwheel Temple. Hence, how could members of the Bigwheel Temple put on a happy face at this point?

“Who knew that he should possess such great strength! But he is so young. How on earth has he been practicing his martial arts?” Standing next to him, Chen Dao murmured. It was the first time Chen Dao had ever met Zhou Bao in person, but he was already deeply impressed by Zhou Bao. He remembered last time, Zhou Bao poisoned so many evil beasts and demons to death with an eccentric Pure Yang Celestial Device. Now, Zhou Bao had once more demonstrated his magnificent strength in front of all of them.

Not only Chen Dao, but all the other people on the Void Traveller were also dumbstruck by Zhou Bao’s shocking aggressivity. In such a short period of time, the Zhou Bao’s Qi Power invoked an abnormal phenomenon in the sky and on the ground. Just imagine how forceful his Real Essence was and how strong his power was to achieve this!

Even an Individual Immortal or a Genuine Immortal could not possibly have this kind of cultivation and such abundant Internal Qi, let alone a Level Nine expert.

Level Nine?

No, this kid was absolutely not a Level Nine expert. He could not be. How could a Level Nine expert have such a compelling Gang Qi? How could the Gang Qi of a Level Nine expert that existed as half Real Essence and half Internal Qi be able to incur such a drastic abnormality between heaven and earth!

Those on the Void Traveller were all potential leaders of their respective sects who were experienced and knowledgeable, but this was about causing abnormality for heaven and earth, which could only be produced when a Real Essence, that almost had Dharma power, was powered with full strength. No way could a Level Nine expert’s half Real Essence and half Internal Qi, which was also called ‘fake Real Essence’, generate this kind of phenomenon.

No wonder the whole world was spreading the rumor that Zhou Bao’s combat capability had long surpassed Level Nine. This comment was certainly not exaggerative, perhaps even still a bit conservative. Maybe his strength had already overtaken that of a Metaphysic Individual Immortal and was infinitely close to a Genuine Immortal. What more, in some respect, his Real Essence was even more abundant than that of a Genuine Immortal. If a Genuine Immortal was standing here in front of Zhou Bao, he would not dare to say that his Real Essence or Dharma power was more abundant than Zhou Bao’s. It was possible that the quality of the Genuine Immortal’s Real Essence was better, whereas, with such a huge quantity of Real Essence, Zhou Bao could still offset the advantage those Dharma power could bring to him.

How on earth did he do it?

All those present were asking themselves this question, but right now, this was just a fleeting thought in their minds.

With nine Fire Dragons hovering over the entire Tusk Island and the presence of Zhou Bao’s mighty Gang Qi, a kind of unrivaled pressure came into being, which was advancing upon the island as if it would crush it.

“We coming here today is simply to find a resting place. We won’t stay for long. I wish the owner of this island could accommodate us so that both sides can live in harmony!”

Zhou Bao’s voice was not very loud, but it spread all over the Tusk Island like muffled thunder.

The island fell into total silence. After an unknown period of time, a helpless sigh finally sounded.

“Distinguished guests, please forgive me for not greeting you long before you arrived at my door!” As this voice rang in, the grey smoke that Zhou Bao with his burning Gang Qi started falling slowly. It tenaciously entered the red light that filled up the sky.

Zhou Bao gave a smile and the surrounding red light faded. Then, nine Fire Dragons and shadows of the two real dragons went back into his Gang Qi as if nothing had happened.

The sky was still blue, the water was still green, and white clouds were still floating in the air as it had been. The Tusk Island returned to what it was like before when it was wrapped in grey smoke, except for the fact that the smoke stopped pestering the Void Traveller and the men on it, as though it had lost its intelligence. The smoke gradually fell downwards, and soon all of the smoke surrounding the island had dispersed itself like mist, unveiling a passageway in front of the Void Traveller. It led to the island.

With a subtle flash, Zhou Bao had already returned to the Void Traveller. He glanced at the appalled face of Yu Nantian and said, “Young Master Yu, we may enter. The owner has allowed us to have a short rest here!”

“Oh! I see.” Yu Nantian suddenly came to himself. He shot a look at Zhou Bao, tapped on the gunwale, and the Void Traveller flew along the passageway in front of them and went into Tusk Island.

The Tusk Island looked not much different than the one they had seen from outside. It was just that the island was encircled by some objects, so they could not have a clear view of it when they were from a distance. Now, they had a clearer view.

People on the Void Traveller all stayed very quiet. Only Great Dark Lord Du walked in front of Zhou Bao and surveyed him. He beamed and said, “Well, well, well, one is never too young to be a hero! You, a leopard, truly have the power to engulf the whole world!”

“The power to engulf the whole world?”

Zhou Bao smiled and hastened to deny this as he waved his hands. “Great Dark Lord Du, please stop making fun of me. I don’t have many merits. I just deal with all the things with my brutal force. I can’t even swallow down this little island before your eyes! How could you say things like engulfing the whole world? ”

“Hahaha, actually, you can swallow the whole world, it’s just that you don’t want to!” Great Dark Lord Du simpered. “Comparing with you, those so-called teen heroes and talents are all dumbasses! Prodigies, outstanding persons, or whatever they are called, they all look like a joke now. No wonder Ye Qingtian, who even got his fairy weapon with him, still fell at your hand. It’s because you do have such power!”

How honest those words were! Maybe too honest to please the others. Thus, many people had taken those words as an insinuation.

For example, Yu Nantian clenched his fists after hearing those words. He forced himself to operate his Internal Qi and stifle down his blood that was boiling with indignation.

“I’m not a prodigy at all, just had a bit of luck to learn directly from a predecessor!” Zhou Bao started sprouting nonsense. “If it was not me but a pig that got this luck, its strength would also grow no less stronger. But you, Great Dark Lord Du, your Heavenly Devil Real Body is really eccentric. I reckon it’s definitely not an ordinary Heavenly Devil. If you Dark Lord can infuse this Heavenly Devil Real Body within your body, perhaps you may break through the Individual Immortal Realm and upgrade to Genuine Immortal!”

Uh!

Hearing Zhou Bao’s words, Great Dark Lord Du involuntarily narrowed his eyes. “Hehe, what a sharp vision! I never thought that your knowledge could also be wider than normal people! You even recognized my Heavenly Devil Real Body!”

“Just heard about it by chance,” said Zhou Bao with a smile. He slightly nodded at Great Dark Lord Du and thought inwardly, “You oldie, look, now I’ve already shifted the attention of Yu Nantian!”

Yu Nantian was a total newbie, which was precisely the most difficult kind to handle. Rumors had it that 70 or 80% of conflicts in Jianghu were incurred by impulse activities of newbies like Yu Nantian. Jealousy was only one way to trigger a bloody crime.

Just now, Great Dark Lord Du was praising Zhou Bao on the surface, but he was also somehow intentionally belittling Yu Nantian and Ji Yeyue. These two had been called prodigies and outstanding people since childhood, but now all their glory were overturned by one word of Great Dark Lord Du. Ji Yeyue might let this go, but Yu Nantian would certainly not. He was the kind of guy that you knew was not broad-minded at first glance. If you do not shift his attention to other matters, he may be driven by a rash impulse and pick on you. Then, it would be you who suffered loss, no?

Although Zhou Bao did not like Yu Nantian, he knew that now was not a good time for conflicts, and this kind of meaningless conflicts was exactly the thing he should prevent from happening.

This was also something that Zhou Bao did not want to see.

No matter what, this Yu Nantian might still be useful to him on some occasions, so he did not want to turn Yu Nantian against him.

The Void Traveller gradually landed on the Tusk Island. At first, Yu Nantian was still acting cautiously. But apparently, after Zhou Bao displayed his power, the owner of this Tusk Island had no intention to provoke such a troublemaker, so he did not make any more sabotages and allowed the Void Traveller to land on his island smoothly.
