Accidents always happen inadvertently.
Yu Taixu had totally underestimated Wugu Hou's power. Due to the huge gap between their ranks, even though Yu Taixu had a Supreme Fairy Weapon, he still lacked the strength to fight back. Similarly, although the Pool of Thunder Tribulation was a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, Wugu Hou's power was too strong for it to confront him alone. Due to these factors, a united front was the best solution.
If the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, could successfully combine with the Great Constellation Palace, it would be possible to use up to eighty percent of the original power from the Great Constellation Palace in an instant. Although it could only strike once, that would be enough.
After being oppressed for so many years, Wugu Hou's power was now at half of its original strength. He needed time to recover. Years ago, his fight with Big Dipper Emperor who wielded a perfect Great Constellation Palace had ended in a draw. But now, a million years had passed, his strength had also significantly dwindled, so he probably was not able to survive the one strike fired by a Great Constellation Palace, even though it was exerting only eighty percent of its power.
At present, the Great Constellation Palace had turned to face Wugu Hou. He was the target of the Great Constellation Bomb, whose intimidating Star World-devastating Aurora was set to fire. When this one strike hit its target, Wugu Hou would be peeled off like a layer of skin, even if he was lucky enough to die on the spot. He would be suppressed in the Great Constellation Palace instead of the sea of thunderbolts once again.
"Bravo, bravo, bravo!" Seeing the moves taken by the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, Wugu Hou said "bravo" three times consecutively."I never thought that you would have such great determination. To suppress me, you even agreed to infuse into the Great Constellation Palace. But are you aware that once you infuse yourself into the Great Constellation Palace, you'll never be able to free yourself from it?"
"My sole destiny is to suppress you. As long as you can be suppressed, where I am is not important!"
Apparently, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation had resolved to put this Primordial Demon under restraint. But now, its own power was insufficient to do that, and that was why he had made up his mind to merge with the Great Constellation Palace so that it could use the power of the Great Constellation Palace to subdue this Primordial Demon.
But all of that was based on the premise that the two could really merge into one.
With the energy support of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, the starlight from the Great Constellation Palace condensed into myriads of starlight crystals. In this instance, attacking had become a great challenge for Wugu Hou; even escaping was not a viable choice. Although the space of the Thunder Emperor's touring abode had already been destroyed and he could flee to the hollow at any time, given his current state, he would not be able to escape the clutches of the Supreme Fairy Weapon even after running into the hollow.
As to how terrifying the combination of the Great Constellation Palace and the Pool of Thunder Tribulation would be, Wugu Hou knew it perfectly well. Just when he was brooding on how to deal with this tense situation, a mutation happened.
A jet of black smoke appeared in the space unexpectedly. It broke through the starlight crystals and scattered shots of thunderbolts, going straight for the Star Ring.
"Your Highness Hou, your subordinate Wugu Tiancheng is here to help you!" A divine thought from the black smoke traveled through the starlight crystals and thunderbolts and could be heard by those on the scene.
"Puff!"
Almost at the same time when this divine thought arrived, the swirl of black smoke landed on the Star Ring with a sizzling sound similar to that of a pot of porridge boiling over and splashing onto the cooking stove. Immediately, it corroded a large part of the Star Ring, which nearly broke off.
"Celestial Demon Corroding Technique!" At this eerie sight, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and Yu Taixu were both petrified. They realized what had just happened.
This move, the Celestial Demon Corroding Technique, was a strike that was made when a Primordial Demon had reached the end of his life, one that was designed for a Primordial Demon to die with his enemies. Once this move was cast, even if the Primordial Demon was fighting against an opponent several ranks higher than himself, he would be able to create huge trouble for the opponent or even maul the enemy to death. This Star Ring was a fairy weapon, but when faced with this mere strike, it was already severely damaged.
No one knew where this guy who called himself Wugu Tiancheng came from. The moment he appeared, he launched this move and startled everyone on the scene. With the Star Ring severely damaged, Yu Taixu found himself in another tricky circumstance—the main energy transportation from the Pool of Thunder Tribulation had broken off while the new Star Ring had not taken shape yet. Now, during this interval, how could Wugu Tiancheng give up the opportunity to attack?
"Good, Wugu Tiancheng. I'll keep you in my mind. When I am free, I'll give you enormous rewards to thank you!" Unlike Yu Taixu and the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, Wugu Hou could see through the Real Body of the black smoke, which had been transformed by a Devil Fetus. Thus, Wugu Hou was overjoyed. Of course, he would not want to miss out on such a good opportunity. Then, as he let out a furious bellow, a pair of large purple hands was sent skywards, with purple clouds lingering on its palms and fingertips.
"Heavenly Devils, corrode the Devine! Fierce Demons, dominate the primitive times!"
His two palms flipped outwards, and two gigantic purple balls appeared under them and suddenly bore down upon the ground.
"Crap!" Seeing the two huge purple balls, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation started surging at once. A jet of silver light crept out of the pool and turned into a human being. Actually, it was more of a sturdy Thunder God than a human being. This was the device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, which suddenly plunged into the Great Constellation Palace.
"Nine Heaven Thunder, heed my call, obey my orders instantly as if they were the law!"
When the device spirit jumped into the Great Constellation Palace, it let out a howl of incantation. As it roared, jets of starlight began to condense into crystals once again and they vigorously dashed into the two purple balls.
"Boom!"
The space started vibrating and seemed to be falling apart; endless thunderbolts and starlight storms swept through the place. Among these storms, there were wisps of purple smoke mingled in the mass. Those bits of purple smoke were extremely potent because anything they touched in their tracks melted under the effect of their corrosion. Everything near them disappeared totally. Compared to the Infinite Poison Banner of Zhou Bao, the purple smoke had the same power but was even more poisonous than it.
Under the effect of the powerful vibration, the Great Constellation Palace retreated several hundred miles backwards, and cracks appeared on the starlight crystals, looking as if they could burst open at any time. Meanwhile, Wugu Hou was not in a better condition than them, either. His originally exuberant face had paled and the scarlet light in his eyes was fading.
In the Great Constellation Palace, Yu Taixu had collapsed onto the ground. As though being squeezed by a great force, his Seven Apertures was displaying several few blood spots and his eyes were also turning red. His utmost excitement was reflected amidst the redness.
This strike seemed to have wounded both sides, but it was the Great Constellation Palace that had gained the upper hand.
"Senior Pool of Thunder, let's redouble our efforts and combine into one. We'll teach him a good lesson!" Forcibly propelling his Dharma power, Yu Taixu suddenly got on his feet. Without giving a thought about his injuries, Yu Taixu yelled elatedly.
"Great, let's finish him off!"
A new Star Ring had formed in the starlight and started the real process of combining with the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. At this point, Wugu Hou sprang into action. A trace of extreme malice flitted across his eyes, countless blood fog oozed from his pores and his eyes were fixed on the Great Constellation Palace as if he was going to swallow it with his stare.
"This is bad! He is getting desperate. Quick, World-devastating Starlight, move!" Seeing that, the device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation was shocked. It let out a growl and the starlight of the Great Constellation Palace began to gather once more. The World-devastating Starlight fired instantly. This time, the World-devastating Starlight Bomb that was fired was wider, more solid, and stronger than the weapons that were used in breaking the Realm-annihilating Thunder Formation of Five Elements.
At the same moment when the World-devastating Starlight fired, Wugu Hou started his moves as well. He folded his hands in front of his chest and gathered all the purple smoke coming out from his body into a mass. His Dharma power, blood, and spirit were poured into that mass. After that, the round ball-like smoke began to expand and turned into a long purple-gold spear. This spear was covered with a naturally-formed matchless mysterious pattern. Its tip was as sharp as a tusk of a Primordial Fierce Beast, while at the end of this spear, surprisingly, there were two small purple wings. This spear looked quite odd and simple, and emitted boundless pressure.
"Deity-killing Spear, it's the Deity-killing Spear!"
At the sight of this purple gold spear, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation involuntarily let out a cry. Soon, the Deity-killing Spear and the World-devastating Starlight crashed into each other.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
This crash was even more violent than the previous one. The starlight crystals around the Great Constellation Palace shattered, and the whole Great Constellation Palace was scattered around in pieces. The starlight was flickering, sending forth a frantic spirit as if it would explode at any second.
The space between the Great Constellation Palace and Wugu Hou was bombed as well. No matter if it was the limitless starlight or the raging thunderbolts, they were all sucked into the endless starry sky and vanished from sight in an instant.
At this moment, the sturdy space where the Thunder Emperor's touring abode sat had been badly mauled all over; even its recovery speed had been reduced to an incredibly slow rate.
Wugu Hou looked very bitter—his originally strong body had shrunk, his hands and left leg were already gone, and the remaining parts of his body were drifting about at the border of the hollow and the Thunder Emperor's touring abode. If his eyes had not been still glowing, Yu Taixu and the Pool of Thunder Tribulation could certainly believe that this Primordial Demon had already died.
Both sides were severely mutilated, no one had the strength to battle again. They were both taking deep breaths, resting and relaxing. This time, the Great Constellation Palace was in an outstandingly advantageous position.
Without any interference from Wugu Hou, the merger between the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and the Great Constellation Palace went unexpectedly smoothly. In a surprisingly short time, the process was almost completed. Seeing the two was just about to combine into one, Wugu Hou realized that he had no way to stop it. After thinking for a few seconds, he threw away all his scruples and suddenly wriggled his half-handicapped body and leaped into the endless hollow. Wugu Hou knew that once that Great Constellation Palace recovered a bit of its strength, it would go all out to destroy him. Now, all he could do was to flee. Although this might not work, this was the best option he had.
"Trying to flee? That's not so easy to achieve! Catch him!" Seeing Wugu Hou's intention to run away, there was no way that Yu Taixu and the Pool of Thunder Tribulation would let him go so easily. With the almost inexhaustible energy provision from the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, the Great Constellation Palace started functioning once again, and it immediately hurtled in the direction where Wugu Hou had fled into.
"Great Constellation Palace of Big Dipper, Primordial Demon with Marquis title. That's really interesting!"
Just when the one side was chasing the other, an elderly voice sounded out of the hollow.
Huge torrents that almost reached the sky appeared in the hollow out of nowhere and whirled around the bodies of the two sides which were both 1, 000, 000 feet high. Looking afar, the hollow was filled up by seawater and became a vast ocean.
"Boundless Sea Area! It's Sea Emperor!"
"Vast Sea Emperor!"
Simultaneously, Yu Taixu and the device spirit of the Pool of Thunder shouted out in terror.
