Master Jin Hua was a Four-tribulation True Immortal, whose physique was quite tough and almost on par with Zhou Bao's current strength. Unfortunately, he encountered the all-conquering sword essence of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, which had nearly exhausted 90 percent of Zhou Bao's Real Essence in just one move. Additionally, there was a killing intent on the sword that could obliterate everything in its path. Therefore, Master Jin Hua, a Four-tribulation True Immortal, was killed by this single move, not only his physical body, but also his soul. This move was so swift and violent that Master Jin Hua had no time to use his strength against Zhou Bao before he was killed.
Zhou Bao took Master Jin Hua's two remaining body parts with him. His intention was not to maim the body; all he wanted were the treasures (Pure Yang Celestial Devices) which were attached to the body, and at one time had belonged to Ji Yeyue.
Generally speaking, any Genuine Immortal who had achieved progress in cultivation would have a spatial celestial device in possession, just like the ruby ring on Zhou Bao's finger. The reason was that practitioners would usually carry their valuables with them rather than store them in a treasure house.
Treasure houses, Immortal's Caves, and treasures.
Only in novels about immortals did they write that such items were stored in treasure houses. In reality, for a real practitioner like Master Jin Hua, his body was his biggest treasure house, where all his devices were stored.
Sitting in the mud hole on the seabed and looking through the items before him, Zhou Bao's facial muscles were twitching involuntarily.
He could not distinguish Master Jin Hua's items from that of his companions.
There were 18 Pure Yang Celestial Devices, 192 bottoms of elixirs, a number of strange refining materials, 67 cultivation manuals, some other odd items, and lastly, a mound made of gold.
Yes, it was a pure gold hill which was over 3, 000 feet high. No one could figure out how much gold there was.
After much thought, Zhou Bao threw the gold hill into the space that was fixed to his Furnace of Immortality and then placed all the other items in his Space of Segmented Realms.
After that, he created a fireball to incinerate Master Jin Hua's corpse.
"Oh, he is merely a fancy carp monster who has been practicing for numerous years. I guess it's the will of heaven that I killed him!" thought Zhou Bao.
With the raging black flames burning fiercely, Master Jin Hua's corpse was soon transformed into a giant fancy carp. Watching this scene, Zhou Bao gave a wry smile. The body strength of a Genuine Immortal was beyond his expectation. But for the Demonic Fire of Dragon Chimera, he would not have been able to burn his body.
Zhou Bao felt greatly relieved as he saw the corpse gradually turn into a heap of black ashes. Deep in his heart, he could not help having mixed emotions. After all, Master Jin Hua was a Four-tribulation True Immortal!
However, he had died under such simple and direct circumstances!
"It doesn't matter whether his death was due to carelessness or weakness, there is no way I want to end up to be a heap of ashes like him in the future. This is a world that lays emphasis on strength. I will not be trampled on by others and be reduced to ashes only if I continuously improve my strength. No matter what kind of opponents I'll meet, I cannot afford to be careless, let alone impetuous, otherwise, I might meet the same fate as him, without knowing why I have to die!" thought Zhou Bao.
Even a Four-tribulation True Immortal was likely to be killed, let alone a Level Nine expert who had not reached the Mysterious Realm, just like him.
From this moment on, Zhou Bao was more determined than ever to increase and improve his strength!
Strength determined everything!
It was an ironclad universal law!
Killing Master Jin Hua was just the first step. The second step was to find the Third Prince and wrest from him the other half of celestial devices and treasures. As for the returning of the items, that was another matter altogether.
In fact, at present, the Pure Yang Celestial Devices that seemed to be very precious to other people meant nothing to Zhou Bao at all.
He himself possessed more than one Pure Yang Celestial Device. Meanwhile, to him, the powers that the Pure Yang Celestial Devices displayed had become considerably weaker. They were not as good as the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. In terms of attack, he possessed the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, Great Fusion Technic, Infinite Trembling Contemplation, Nine dragons Heavenly Fire Shield, Demonic Fire of Primitive Dragon Chimera, and horrible fist technique. Moreover, in terms of defense, he had an extremely tough body, the offense-defense fusion of Infinite Trembling Contemplation, Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang, Phantom Body Skill, Slippery Body Technique and many others. He had nothing to worry about and he even had a pair of strange eyes in his possession.
Most important of all, the greatest advantage of the Pure Yang Celestial Devices meant nothing to him.
After being refined, Pure Yang Celestial Devices were extremely powerful. Furthermore, when compared with magic arts and Divine Sense which had the same amount of power, the power they would use up was much lesser. However, Zhou Bao had opened Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints and absorbed the remaining body of Innate Deity, and thus, he possessed tremendous Real Essence Energy, which was enough to keep up with the consumption of his powerful skills, just like the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi. In terms of lethality, the Pure Yang Celestial Devices Zhou Bao possessed were no match for it. With a single move, it could easily break a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Although it would be depleted over time, Zhou Bao's tremendous Real Essence could still handle it.
Because of this, Pure Yang Celestial Devices were therefore not that appealing to Zhou Bao.
Moreover, Zhou Bao was not lacking in Pure Yang Celestial Devices because he already possessed several Pure Yang Celestial Devices and even had two fairy weapons. Therefore, he was not as curious about Pure Yang Celestial Devices, unlike the others. With all the above factors added up, one could easily figure out that Zhou Bao did not value Pure Yang Celestial Devices much.
However, this did not mean he would return these Pure Yang Celestial Devices without any resistance. There was a saying "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated". Although he did not like these devices, he thought it would be good to know how they worked.
Zhou Bao cleaned up the mess and took a long time to scrutinize the 18 Pure Yang Celestial Devices, out of which only two items really held his attention. One was an odd-looking circular item which was made of gold and was similar to Wang She's Invisible Dragon Rod. It looked like a very basic item, but Zhou Bao could feel some obscure space waves moving around when he shook it.
"Is it a spatial celestial device?" While fingering it, Zhou Bao could not help thinking of that. Except for the strong material, he could not figure out if it was anything special. The main body was bare, without even a scratch on it, neither did it have the many talismans and formations that other Pure Yang Celestial Devices usually had.
"It's interesting. I'd like to see what function it has!" Zhou Bao thought to himself. He sent one thought wave into the circle. All of a sudden, through the telepathic connection of his thought, he could feel that everything had changed within.
"Is it a void?"
This circle seemed to be a very basic device, but it was connected to a void. That was to say, it worked the same way as the Furnace of Immortality which was connected to a spatial rift. The space Furnace of Immortality was connected to was a complete spatial rift with abundant spiritual qi. If Zhou Bao wanted, he could evolve it into a micro world similar to 33 Heavens. Unlike it, the void that this golden circle was connected to was very strange and fragmentary. Most important of all, this void had great suction powers, which Zhou Bao was very familiar with because it resembled the black hole he had evolved from his fist intent!
"Can it be that this circle is connected to a black hole? Wouldn't that be amazing?"Zhou Bao was startled. However, he did not believe that this circle was really connected to a black hole because he knew that, once it was connected to a black hole, it would be a fairy weapon rather than a celestial device!
Only a fairy weapon had the ability to completely connect or suppress a complete space or celestial body.
Just like his Furnace of Immortality that could suppress the gray space he found, only a fairy weapon could suppress a black hole and take it for its own use.
The circle before him was indeed good, but it was not a fairy weapon, therefore, even if it could connect to a black hole, it must be one that was not wholly complete yet.
"Anyway, I should refine it first!" While thinking, Zhou Bao began working on it.
There was nothing special about the refining process. Master Jin Hua had already been killed by him, leaving only a little Genuine Spirit on the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. Although this circle still carried the brand of his spiritual sense, it was easy to erase it. With Zhou Bao's current strength and strong spiritual sense, he quickly erased Master Jin Hua's remaining spiritual sense and changed it to his own. Later, he took a deep breath and sent his Divine Awareness into this Pure Yang Celestial Device.
A faint psywave came into Zhou Bao's mind. It was about this Pure Yang Celestial Device's information.
"I'm wondering why it was connected to an incomplete void. It turns out that it is only a replica!" After digesting the information about this circle, Zhou Bao mulled about it in his mind.
The main information left by its maker showed the details and usage of the device.
It was called Fake Gold Bracelet because it was made by a necromancer from antiquity times, who copied the legendary fairy weapon named Gold Bracelet.
Golden Bracelet had two characteristics, one was its solidity; it could be used like a brick, and no matter who was hit by it, he would be severely injured. The other was suction; it could suck up everything. No matter if it were weapons or energy, all would be sucked and suppressed by it.
However, this fairy weapon had disappeared from the scene a long time ago already; all that was left were some bad myths about it.
This necromancer had a good deal of interest in the fairy weapon, therefore, he had made this Pure Yang Celestial Device in accordance with the instructions from the legends of old. The space that this circle connected to was created by him. He was a powerful person who had refined a giant fireball in the void. According to the formation principle of the black hole, he finally managed to evolve it into an incomplete celestial body much like the black hole and connected it to this circle, so that its function was to suck everything up. This was somewhat similar to the simulated black hole in Zhou Bao's fist intent. However, the black hole in Zhou Bao's fist intent was just alike in spirit, while in this circle, it was alike both in spirit and appearance, and only then could it be considered as a small black hole.
