Chapter 477: Highest Heaven Celestial Device

They both were wise men. From what happened till now, they all had a general idea about each other’s aces in the hole and skills. And they were also confident enough to kill each other.

“Zhou Bao, let’s see how many Pure Yang Celestial Devices you can explode!” Yu Taicang said after he regained some pneuma. He did not want to beat around the bush and wait anymore, so he lifted the Jade Buddhist Pestle up and directly hit Zhou Bao. With the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Immortal Body Technique combining in the pestle again, this unremarkable blow carried an overwhelming power. It aimed to destroy Zhou Bao’s protective divine light and kill him even if he would have taken out one more Pure Yang Celestial Device and explode it without hesitation.

“Good!”

Zhou Bao shouted in a low voice, and a strange and invisible airflow emanated from his body. Then, his body instantly emitted a tremendous Qi Power no weaker than Yu Taicang’s.

Yu Taicang was so sensitive that he felt that something was wrong. However, his attack was just like a nocked arrow on a bow and had to be sent out. Without stopping, his Jade Buddhist Pestle hit Zhou Bao ferociously.

Zhou Bao stared intensely at the Jade Buddhist Pestle. And just as it was about to hit his Body-shielding Light, he threw a punch.

“Is he crazy?!” Upon watching Zhou Bao’s fist, Yu Taicang thought that he must have misread it.

Yu Taicang had heard that Zhou Bao had great strength and also knew powerful punching skills. However, the difference between their strength was huge. No matter how powerful Zhou Bao’s punching skill, fist intent, and strength were, he would still be unable to fight against the Jade Buddhist Pestle. This was Yu Taicang’s common sense rather than his arrogance.

The cultivation methods in this world emphasized the importance of balancing the inner and outer cycle. The higher cultivation one possessed, the tougher one’s body would be. No matter how many fortunate encounters Zhou Bao had had, his body must have been weaker than Yu Taicang’s, which had already undergone six Thunder Tribulations. Neither in terms of physical strength nor power were they on the same level.

His action of blocking Yu Taicang’s Jade Buddhist Pestle with a bare fist was equal to an egg punching a rock.

Yu Taicang even pictured that Zhou Bao was smashed into pieces by his pestle.

Everything happened in a flash, less than a ten-thousandth of a second.

Zhou Bao’s fist collided with Yu Taicang’s Jade Buddhist Pestle.

Boom!

As the fist struck the pestle, they seemed to be glued together. The surrounding space of the impact was smashed into pieces as if it was made of glass that had been hit by a great force.

“That’s impossible! This is… ugh… !”

Yu Taicang’s body quivered and he felt an invisible, great force strike him followed by the pestle. His body’s tendons and meridians, which were cast in solid steel, could not resist this force at all and were dislocated. Furthermore, his internal organs, which were harder than diamonds, were also severely hit. Additionally, as his blood flowed backward, he felt the smell of blood in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark golden blood. Then, his face became pale all of a sudden.

That’s impossible!

While watching Zhou Bao’s almost intact fist and sensing the overwhelming power it exerted, Yu Taicang’s heart roared once again.

“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! Immortal Body Technique, restore my pneuma! Heavenly Jade Technique, destroy!”

Yu Taicang roared. He had completely gone crazy and lost his composure. Therefore, he executed the Immortal Body Technique to rapidly restore his severely injured body. Meanwhile, the Jade Buddhist Pestle in his hand hit toward Zhou Bao again.

Zhou Bao seemed fine, but his body was badly hurt when his fist met the pestle. However, he possessed a horrifying resilience which was equal to that of the Innate Deity. Even if he did not know the Immortal Body Technique, he was able to recover much quicker than Yu Taicang. And maybe that was the only point where he was superior to Yu Taicang. When he saw Yu Taicang hitting him with the pestle again, he snorted coldly and hit back.

Bang, bang, bang…

The pestle and the fist hit each other nine times and completely shattered the surrounding space. Under the Time-fixing Plate’s effect, the transparent space debris floated in the air, looking quite weird.

Such a scene looked extremely strange.

Zhou Bao had to admit that he was lucky. Any ordinary space could not bear the attacks executed by them. If Yu Taicang hadn’t launched the Time-fixing Plate earlier, what was going on there would have been known to others. In a sense, Yu Taicang was trapped by his own fairy weapon. Under the current circumstances where the Yin and Yang Dust Formation was already broken, if he could send his Message-delivering Jade Talisman in secret, Zhou Bao may not catch it. But it was a pity that with the Time-fixing Plate operating, he was unable to send the Message-delivering Jade Talisman. And Zhou Bao would naturally not give him the time and opportunity to withdraw the Time-fixing Plate.

The Time-fixing Plate was a fairy weapon that did not belong to him. He just had refined it a little bit, so how could he be able to use it smoothly?

Now, he was fighting fiercely with Zhou Bao. Obviously, Zhou Bao would never offer him the opportunity to retrieve the Time-fixing Plate.

After Zhou Bao’s fist had collided with the Jade Buddhist Pestle for nine times, he was severely wounded. But he had completely figured out Yu Taicang’s strength. Yu Taicang, however, was constantly losing his confidence.

“The Heavenly Jade Technique! Why do you also know the Heavenly Jade Technique? -No. You still know another technique among the Seven Wonderful Techniques!”

After hitting Zhou Bao head-on nine times, Yu Taicang finally found that something was wrong. He was unable to sense anything special from Zhou Bao’s punch at first. Only when the fist and pestle collided with each other could he faintly feel an overwhelming power from Zhou Bao’s fist, which felt similar to the Heavenly Jade Technique.

“You really do live up to your reputation as an expert of the Divine Wind Palace by suddenly figuring it out. Not bad. I indeed know the Heavenly Jade Technique. Moreover, I learned another technique among the Seven Wonderful Techniques!”

“Did you learn it from the Immortal Palace?” Yu Taicang gently exhaled as if he had recalled something and said, “Only the Immortal Palace is capable of possessing techniques among the Seven Wonderful Techniques!”

“Not bad. You’re right again. But what’s the point of that?” While watching Yu Taicang, whose injuries recovered as rapidly as him, Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you think you can defeat me after you recovered from your injury?”

“No, I just have some doubts in my heart!” Yu Taicang shook his head and continued talking. “No matter if I win or not, it’s over. It’s the last hour that I can manage to operate the Time-fixing Plate. After that, it will automatically stop working and I’ll suffer a severe backfire. Therefore, I must kill you within an hour, otherwise, I definitely will die!”

“You mean that is your last wish?” Zhou Bao smiled coldly. He was uncertain about Yu Taicang’s words. Perhaps Yu Taicang was using his words to confuse him. After all, a Genuine Immortal at the Lord of Heaven Realm could do anything in order to save his life.

“Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth!”

“Fine, ask away!” said Zhou Bao. He doubted that Yu Taicang was buying time to recover from his injuries. However, at that time, he was also severely injured and still needed some time to recover from his injuries. It would do no harm to him even if Yu Taicang bought more time.

“Even if you know the Heavenly Jade Technique, you would not be so powerful. I can feel that you not only have the bloodline of humans, but also the spirit of the Innate Deity. Thus, I’m sure that you have obtained more than just a skull that had been refined into a fairy weapon in Taiyuan Heaven!” While saying this, his eyes shone and he looked at Zhou Bao. “You must have obtained the remains of the Innate Deity and absorbed its power!”

“You have a good discerning eye!”

By now, Zhou Bao had to admire Yu Taicang’s insight.

“It’s not about insight. I have seen the remains of the Innate Deity before, so I can feel it from your spirit. Adding on to your body’s strange resilience, I can easily figure that out. However, I don’t understand one point. Although you have obtained the remains of the Innate Deity, most of its power has not awakened yet because your body cannot make full use of it. Therefore, it can only transform your body to your limitation and will only be discovered by you step by step as your cultivation advances. You can’t do that all at once. Hence, in terms of physical strength and power, you are no match for me because I have undergone six Thunder Tribulations, especially when I became a Lord of Heaven after the sixth Thunder Tribulation. My physical strength is beyond your imagination. Such a power together with my Dharma Laksana True Body, as well as the Jade Buddhist Pestle, can only barely be on par with your strength. It’s really amazing!”

“It turns out to be about this!” Zhou Bao chuckled. At that moment, his body had fully recovered. He continued, “Do you want to know? Then you’d better fight with me again with your full strength. I think you can force me to take out my ace in that way!”

“Fine, let’s fight!” Since he had gotten answers to his doubts from Zhou Bao, Yu Taicang smiled too. He wielded his jade pestle again and activated his Golden Buddhist Lotus, saying, “Fellow Taoist Zhou, be careful. Here come my last three attacks. If you can withstand them all, you’ll win, if not, you’ll definitely die!”

Fellow Taoist Zhou!

Zhou Bao smiled bitterly upon hearing this address. Not everyone in this world was deserved to be called Fellow Taoist. Yu Taicang calling him so illustrated that he finally put Zhou Bao on the same level and was ready to put up a decisive battle in which he would make every effort to harm him.

“Fellow Taoist Zhou, I want you to know that the Golden Buddhist Lotus and Mysterious Jade Buddhist Pestle is a pair of Highest Heaven Celestial Devices. However, with my current cultivation, I’m barely able to control it, so I usually use them separately. But now, I have to go all out and use them both!”

While he said that, he tossed the Golden Buddhist Lotus into the air and it shone brightly all of a sudden. Strands of golden, scattered light poured down and dropped on the Jade Buddhist Pestle. Originally, the pestle was white, but now it turned out to be gold. At the same time, strands of gold light wrapped around the pestle as if it was the pestle’s hair.
