Chapter 887 The Moon Temple!

The hidden shadow did not seem to pay attention to what Yu An said. It just let out a cold, mischievous laugh. The noise disappeared soon after. Emperor Yu An was clearly unable to do anything about the laughing shadow and could only groan in annoyance.

“It seems that the Treasure-snatching Rock is really a hidden talent!” Zhou Bao was secretly watching all of this. He thought to himself, “These old-school Earthly Immortals have hidden for countless years in single-minded practice in the Immortal Realm. I did not think that every single one of them would now appear and come into the Treasure-snatching Rock. This rock really deserves to be called the first Heavenly Fairy Weapon. Now that the Dharma Ending Tribulation has just begun, it has attracted all this attention. It seems that in this Dharma Ending Tribulation, the rock has a special role. Although I have come out from this rock, it has never been a factor that has gotten me to this point. Maybe I am also the rock’s chess piece. But this chess piece has enough power and if it’s going to attack me, then I will have to protect myself.”

Zhou Bao became wary of the Treasure-snatching Rock, and of course, he did everything with more care. But in the first layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock, a thousand incredibly strong Earthly Immortals were confronting one another and after quite a long time, a leisurely sigh was finally heard. “It’s getting late. How long are these people prepared to wait here?” The Dharma Ending Tribulation has already started. The longer we wait, the more dangerous it gets; everyone must be very clear about that. I am waiting for the Earthly Immortals. We have a way of surviving the destruction of the universe and the changing of eras. But with each era we pass through, a little bit of our essential power disappears. Maybe one day the Celestial Immortals will be spooked out of their minds and with every Dharma Ending Tribulation there is an opportunity. Now, the opportunity is right in front of us and everybody wants to grab it. Inevitably, we can only depend on our own skills. The outermost layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock will be of no importance to us whatsoever, no matter how great our skills. It will be better for everyone to enter together and if someone attacks then we all join forces to defend ourselves. Who’s with me?”

“Hear, hear!” After he had spoken, the group of Earthly Immortals cheered and nodded their heads. Then they all disappeared into the first layer.

“Who is this guy? He can really get the crowd going!” Zhou Bao muttered to himself. He did not hesitate and followed the crowd into the second layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock and then to the third layer.

To the Earthly Immortals, the Treasure-snatching Rock seemed almost harmless and they barely took any defensive measures.

The group of Earthly Immortals soon congregated at the center of the rock.

“You came so quickly!” The Treasure-snatching Rock’s device spirit seemed to have been waiting for them for a while. “Emperor of Moon Temple, Emperor An and the other gentlemen, you have all come very quickly!”

“It’s no use being slow, Treasure-snatching Rock, this era’s Dharma Ending Tribulation has already started and you have kept that object for so long. Can you hand it over?”

A faint figure appeared in the space at the center of the rock. It wore a moon-white traditional man’s gown. The androgenous Great Ancient Emperor looked delicate and pretty. He brought with him a trail of an unbelievably cold spirit when he appeared, which soon became the focal point of the space in the rock.

“Emperor of Moon Temple. Haha, you were once the first emperor, but as it turned out, the Jade Emperor entered the sage realm before you! I think you haven’t come to terms with it!”

“The Jade Emperor has his own Way and I have mine!” The Emperor of Moon Temple retorted and frowned slightly. “He might have succeeded, but he has not traveled far along his road. So don’t worry about me!”

“Okay then. But there is one thing. So many of you have come rushing here, who am I supposed to give the object to?” the rock’s device spirit said carelessly, as a strange, ominous light flashed from it.

A gloomy voice resounded. “Don’t use these ancient, childish tricks. What should be fought over will be fought over, but this is before you hand it over. And if you don’t hand it over, then you can fight for it after you kill me!”

“Ying the Rat, it seems you have lived too long. Not only does Yu An want to kill you, but so do I!” The device spirit said nonchalantly. After the voice stopped speaking, the entire space suddenly started to ripple, like a stone hitting water. Several Taoist figures emerged from the ripples.

This was the space inside the Treasure-snatching Rock. While you were inside, no matter how many secret skills you harbored, it was impossible to avoid being heard and seen by the rock.

“You are just a damned rat. Die!”

After the figures appeared, Yu An moved. A huge shadow formed and viciously bombarded the faint figures.

“Yu An, you b*stard!” the Taoist figure shouted. Its body flashed quickly and like a real rat in a sewer, he dodged left and right to avoid Yu An’s attack. He was not able to completely evade the attack, but managed to weaken the strikes of the attack until it was reduced to nothing. He was still cloaked in a gray light, which seemed to be a kind of defensive fairy weapon. It was very likely a Heavenly Fairy Weapon and blocked most of Yu An’s strikes.

With his odd body movements and fairy weapon, he could block almost every single one of Yu An’s strikes. But the strikes that got through left him splattered with blood and he wailed and screamed in anger and pain.

“Oily rat! I can’t believe the number of strikes you are able to block!” Yu An was the “Dark Emperor”. He raised his hands. The strangest thing was that this Earthly Immortal was hidden in the dark and with his strange body movements he could control everything while undercover. As long as he was not detected by Yu An, he was fine. If he was, then he would be completely under his control. Although he had a Heavenly Fairy Weapon for protection and bizarre body movements, his shadow was becoming more and more visible. His figure started floating slightly.

The other Earthly Immortals in the Treasure-snatching Rock did not make a sound; they watched in silence at the two men arguing. They had no intention of getting involved at all.

“Yu An, your girly highness, you shouldn’t bully others! I’m telling you, even if you were able to kill me today, I would be sure to rip a piece out of you and make sure you don’t get what you want. Even in this era, you have no way of attaining sage status and you want to become an Omnipotent Sage?” The shadow’s hysterical screaming made Yu An raise his eyebrows slightly. “Are you threatening me?”

“Don’t think that you’re some kind of big shot. Maybe killing me will help you gain face?”

“You are asking for it!” Yu An roared and just as he launched his Killer Thunderbolt, a clean, cold spirit appeared.

“Yu An, did you not hear what I just said?” The Emperor of Moon Temple’s crisp voice echoed through the space and the surrounding spirit suddenly turned icy cold.

Finally, a bitter smile appeared on Yu An’s expressionless face. “You wouldn’t dare!” His murderous intent and explosive rage melted away like snow in spring. “Whatever you say! Since the Treasure-snatching Rock won’t do anything unless forced to, why don’t you sort him out first?”

The Emperor of Moon Temple nodded and looked at the surrounding Earthly Immortals. They were all deathly afraid.

A Heaven Realm emperor of yesteryear, the Jade Emperor controlled everything, but the 99 Emperors were not united and their great power was divided. The Jade Emperor could not control some of the mightier emperors. Just like Luo Yi of the Sui dynasty, they obeyed certain orders, but not orders from the Emperor, particularly the Thunder Emperor and the Emperor of Moon Temple.

The Thunder Emperor controlled the Thunder Tribulation and was a very particular character. The Emperor of Moon Temple had a very mysterious origin. Although the Jade Emperor had now reached sage status, he had to give them some degree of face. Emperor Yu An never deserted anybody; he had a great cultivation and was an arrogant character. But in front of the Emperor of Moon Temple, he was clearly the underdog.

“Treasure-snatching Rock, hand the object over. This time you don’t have a chance!” Suppressing Yu An, the Emperor of Moon Temple’s clear, cold pupils gazed steadily at the rock. But this time, there was no longer the same peace as before. As he spoke again, an incredibly clear, cold spirit started to spread throughout the space inside the rock. This clear, cold spirit was very strange. To start with it was just like a cold wind, but in a moment, it had become an azure light that froze everything.

The Icy Divine Light!

Zhou Bao gasped from his hiding place in the dark. It was the Icy Divine Light.

Zhou Bao’s Icy Divine Light had only half the power when compared to that of the Emperor of Moon Temple. To start with, it caressed the face like a crisp breeze, but by the time you felt the slight chill, the heavens and earth would already have been totally frozen. There were only Earthly Immortal Emperors inside the Treasure-snatching Rock now and they were all top level. They weren’t a match for Emperor Yu An and the Emperor of Moon Temple, but they weren’t far off, either. But in this light, most of them were frozen until they were blue in the face and had no choice but to use their own macro worlds and draw energy from them in order to stay conscious.

The Treasure-snatching Rock’s expression also started to look strained. After the Emperor of Moon Temple produced the Icy Divine Light, he disappeared on the spot. The rock disappeared soon after.

Whoosh!

A strong hiss was heard in the space and the Emperor of Moon Temple and the Treasure-snatching Rock appeared right in front of the tight gathering of Earthly Immortals. Then shortly after, he flew into three or four of the Earthly Immortal Emperors. But none of them dared move, because the Emperor of Moon Temple’s was pointing his slender fingers at the rock’s forehead.

“You’re not going anywhere. Take out the object!”

“Emperor of Moon Temple, do you really think that this era is your chance?” The rock was overruled by the emperor, but it did not panic at all. In fact, it had a mocking smile on its face. “You are too optimistic! You did not consider who you were offending back in the day and you think you can get away after just 16 eras?Well, can you?”

“What are you saying?” The Emperor of Moon Temple’s pretty face suddenly turned sinister.

“Do you think I really don’t know what you are up to?” The rock laughed coldly. “Forget about it. Even if I gave you that object, you still could not obtain the Celestial Immortal’s Way, because your path was blocked sixteen eras ago!”
