Chapter 621: Demonstration of Strength

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

This was a pretty knotty issue.

Yu Taixuan’s face burned with embarrassment. Moments earlier he had been bragging to the crowd about how fantastic his ship was with all its wonderful functions. But in the blink of an eye, an accident had occurred and all of them had been carried into the space-time torrents. As people often said, retribution in this life comes quickly. Now that his boasts were proven wrong, he felt like he had been smacked in the face.

Fortunately, this Seven-color Warship had a Highest Heaven Space in it. Thus, no matter how violently this warship was heaving around, they would not feel the bumps in the Highest Heaven Space, which at least secured a little dignity for Yu Taixuan.

However, even though this ship was a Medium-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device, the protective seven-color light around it was still bearing immense pressure from the space-time torrents. In space-time torrents, there were not only high waves of space-time torrents, but also infinite space-time storms. These space-time storms and space-time torrents had different strengths, but when they came together, even the Highest Heaven Celestial Device was overwhelmed by their combined power.

“Crap, we’ve been carried to an unknown space-time!”

After enduring a series of violent vibrations, the Seven-color Warship was sucked into a strange space-time. Storms died down, torrents ebbed away, but their situation was not very much improved.

This was because the strange space was full of meteorites. Huge meteorites were flying through this space at high speed. Looking from a distance, all you could see were these rapidly flying stones. These stones were made of unknown substances, and the smallest of them was about one thousand feet in diameter while the largest one even reached a few thousand feet in size and looked like a whole continent.

Vibration, faint vibrations!

There were no fixed patterns for the movements of these flying meteorites in this space-time. They were just zooming around and colliding with each other. Every few seconds there were some meteorite collisions happening, which were similar to the normal meteorite collisions. However, given that every second, there would be some meteorites crashing into each other, the energy they produced was sufficient to impact the entire space-time, which was in a vibrational state from the collisions.

The Seven-color Warship had preliminarily steadied herself, but sailing across this meteorite-filled world was not safe. Every now and then, a meteorite would bump into the ship. But thanks to the fact that this Seven-color Warship was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device and its dimensions was quite streamlined, it finally managed to navigate through the gaps of the numerous meteorites. At the same time, the defensive power of this warship was good. Once a meteorite hit the warship, it would bounce off due to the seven-color light. Therefore, the warship was not severely affected by those meteorites.

Nevertheless, all these features were only effective in the beginning. Although this Highest Heaven Celestial Device could slip through cracks between meteorites easily, it was inevitable that it would be hit. After enduring several hundred collisions, the seven-color light around this warship gradually dimmed.

“We can’t let this go on anymore! Though the Golden Embroidered Warship is a Medium-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device, it will not last for long if it gets hit so frequently by those meteorites. We must come up with something else!” Facing the myriad of attacks from the meteorites, Yu Taixuan’s face was already a bit pale.

“Didn’t you say your ship could do hollow travels? If so, why do we have to stay in this space-time?” Hierarch Huan Ri, the ancestor of Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, asked, in bewilderment.

“The first collision was too severe. From that time the warship was already damaged. This, together with other factors from the space-time torrents has disabled the Golden Embroidered Warship’s ability to do hollow travels for now!”

“It can’t be! Is this Highest Heaven Celestial Device another defective product of your Divine Wind Palace?” Zhou Bao let out a mournful howl, his face thoroughly gloomy. “So it was with the Void Traveller I rode last time. It almost caused us to fall into the Sea Area. But this time, it’s even worse. You are making us drift around in this endless space-time on purpose, aren’t you?”

His expression was a little too dramatic, and it was very inconsiderate of him to rake up the past incident of Divine Wind Palace in front of all these people. If it were some else who had made this remark, Yu Taixu would have instantly cut him off. But seeing Zhou Bao’s aggressive appearance, Yu Taixu’s eyes merely twitched for a few seconds and he remained silent.

Yu Taixu had gained quite a comprehensive knowledge about the combat capability of Zhou Bao through various avenues. In particular, the power of the two hammers hanging from his hips that Zhou Bao had used in the Infinite Star Sea battle, and his attack on the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain and throwing out their Mountain Master were all telling Yu Taixu that the combat capability of Zhou Bao was not inferior to his anymore.

It was hard for Yu Taixu to accept this, but it also made him reluctantly tolerate certain kind of behaviors from Zhou Bao. Otherwise, if Zhou Bao was angry and started a fight, Divine Wind Palace would have to pay a high price and even if they won, this would, in turn, allow others to attain some benefits.

Hence, Yu Taixu made a huge effort to stifle his anger and kept quiet. Then, he shot a meaningful look at Yu Taixuan.

“King Wuyang, no need to worry. Just some small malfunction, I’ll soon fix them. But before that, this ship is unable to take anymore heavy blows, so…”

The meaning Yu Taixu wanted to convey was pretty clear already. Now that the Highest Heaven Celestial Device was damaged, there should be no serious disruption during its repair work. It would be very difficult to repair it in the current situation where stones were zooming around and explosions were happening at any time. The hidden meaning between the lines was just that everyone on the scene should chip in and try to keep the warship intact amidst the collisions and damage.

“How much time do you need to repair it?”

“Without any major disruptions, six hours will be enough. But if…”

“Good, then, I’ll help you to block off those disruptions for six hours!” Zhou Bao interrupted Yu Taixuan. The figure of Zhou Bao flashed, and then he directly broke through the Highest Heaven Space in the Golden Embroidered Warship and appeared over it.

“Whirring!”

The moment Zhou Bao went out, a meteorite with the diameter of three or four miles, hurtled towards him.

“Hum!”

Zhou Bao snorted, and a small azure hammer appeared in his hand. He threw it directly at the meteorite.

With a flash of azure light, the meteorite was instantly reduced to a pile of powder and dispersed among the space-time.

Since there was no pneuma or air existing in this strange space-time, even if you made a sound, it would not be transmitted. Thus, those inside the warship merely saw a huge meteorite turning into smoke and disappearing, but they did not realize what had happened. Later, as their eyes fell on the small hammer in Zhou Bao’s hand, a chilling sensation rose in their hearts. “If a hammer like this was thrown at me, how would I take it?” They thought to themselves.

Legend had it that this boy smashed an asteroid with only three strikes using these hammers, and seriously damaged Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain with seven strikes. They used to think that the story could be an exaggeration. However, since they had seen it with their own eyes, they discovered that perhaps all those rumors had actually belittled Zhou Bao’s ability. Judging by his present power, perhaps now Zhou Bao was able to do what three strikes could do in the past with only one strike. If he launched three strikes, he might defeat the defense of Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. Therefore, it was better not to be the enemy of such a monster.

That was exactly the effect that Zhou Bao wanted, and also the real reason why he volunteered to block out the meteorites for six hours.

“This boy is really good at seizing opportunities to demonstrate his strength!” The Lords of Heaven and Venerables started to have mixed feelings when they watched the twin hammers waved by Zhou Bao hacking every meteorite into pieces.

Power! This was absolute power!

Supposing it was not Zhou Bao defending those meteorites now; if we did not count those Venerables, those Lords of Heaven should also be able to hold up for six hours. But would they be able to achieve that as easily and so perfectly as Zhou Bao did?

No, they couldn’t!

Over half of his strength came from the two hammers in his hands! Two hours passed, and the crowd gradually comprehended what they were watching. While they were shocked by Zhou Bao’s strength, they started concentrating on the pair of hammers he was holding.

“I heard that those hammers were refined by virtue of splitting a fairy weapon!” A guy on the warship said. He was either a Venerable or a Lord of Heaven, and so were the others. Accordingly, each of them was powerful and prestigious and well-informed about all sorts of news. As for the grievance Zhou Bao held against Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, they also had a good understanding of it.

For that matter, Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain had been seriously humiliated. Not only did they lose a fairy weapon and a son of their Mountain Master, but even their Mountain Master with a cultivation in Lord of Heaven Realm was also forced to step down. It was said that the top levels of the Seven-deity Regions were all astonished by this. This was the reason why those Lords of Heaven had been so polite to Zhou Bao. This boy not only had strong combat capability but was very uninhibited. He was like a walking time bomb, which could explode once you touched it. Look, anyone who had the slightest bit of sanity would not rush to fight against a super large sect like Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain as Zhou Bao did. After all, Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain was not a sect like Mingyi School but the top player of all sects in the Three Western Regions. Moreover, they had hidden among layers of space-time. But even with all the above facts, Zhou Bao did not give up but made his strikes and returned safe and sound. If one of those sects on the scene ever made Zhou Bao so annoyed that he had to repeat his actions, that victim sect would certainly lose their face, which was not something they could afford.

Yu Taixu did not participate in the repair work. He just sat on his chair with his eyes transfixed on the pair of azure hammers in Zhou Bao’s hands. “Power, pure power. Seems that this boy has decided to take the road to pure power development. What a big problem! If one day I really have to deal with him, the brutal power he has will truly be a headache. But the most important thing is that pair of hammers. How useless Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain is! They lost their fairy weapon but did not dare to voice any complaint. If not, how could this boy be so arrogant now? His power is growing too quickly, his strength is also advancing at an odd speed. He must have come across some secrets about practicing. It looks that I have to make a final decision when this thing is over. Either I shall completely drag him to our side, or totally destroy him. There is no third option!” Making up his mind, Yu Taixu clenched his fists in secret. He had already started planning how to handle the threats that Zhou Bao, a monster who was miraculously on the rise, could bring to him.
