"I'm not your friend, nor is this a joke!"
Zhou Bao did not hide his figure in the void but showed up naturally, not far from Hei Chou."Your Excellency, why are you secretly watching my Wuyang Region and intruding into the forbidden area?"
"Are you Zhou Bao?" With these words, Hei Chou looked at the young man in front of him and his heart flickered.
He had heard of Zhou Bao's fame and had also investigated him in detail, but now observing him with his own eyes, he knew that all his previous investigations had been in vain. Zhou Bao gave him the feeling that he was definitely a strong opponent, even if he showed that he was merely a person who had newly stepped into the Human Immortal Realm. However, he had the Dharma power on him that was deep like the sea, as well as a burst of barely uncontrollable raging spirit, all of which clearly told Hei Chou that the guy in front of him was by no means ordinary.
"Oh, it turns out to be King Wuyang. I'm Hei Chou, the great commander of the Black Mountain World!" Hei Chou held his fist in the other and laughed, saying, "The Heaven Realm is really unfathomable. It seems that I miscalculated this time!"
"Black Mountain World, Hei Chou!" Zhou Bao slowly muttered and his face suddenly turned solemn."I don't care where are you from or who you are, but you must account for the fact that you sneaked into my mansion and even entered the inner chamber!"
"What? Account for it? Hahahaha!" Hei Chou burst out laughing. Although he had always been very humble, it did not mean that he was a good-tempered man. In fact, as the great commander of the Black Mountain World as well as the biological son of Black Mountain Old Demon, he was very arrogant. This was his inborn character, not to mention that he was over 1, 000, 000 years old now, and even if he was 10, 000, 000 years old, perhaps he would not change his personality. Zhou Bao's performance was beyond his expectations, even to the point that it made his eyes light up, but that was all. He had enough confidence and strength to kill Zhou Bao with just one finger. But upon hearing Zhou Bao, in the face of this absolute strength, require him to give an explanation, he could not help laughing like crazy.
"Explanation? Give you an explanation? For you alone? Hahahaha! Boy, it's okay for you to be arrogant in small places like the Seven-deity Regions. But how dare you quack like a duck in front me?! You really don't know how to spell the word 'death'?" Hei Chou shouted and raised his right hand, moving toward Zhou Bao to grab him. Zhou Bao, however, saw only a hand completely made of black fog grabbing at his head directly.
"Alright, come on!" At the sight of this hand, Zhou Bao laughed. The space above his head suddenly distorted and another big black hand appeared, rushing toward Hei Chou's hand.
"Snap!"
"Sizzle!"
The two hands collided with each other in the void. Being highly toxic, Zhou Bao's Giant Void Hand immediately corroded the better part of Hei Chou's big hand.
"Huh? The Elixir of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast and Peach Blossom Miasma? Where did you get such insidious things?" Hei Chou was greatly shocked. At this moment, he withdrew the big hand that he had evolved from Zhou Bao's Giant Void Hand. His hand then turned into numerous black threads finer than those of spiders, which bypassed Zhou Bao's black hand and directly shot at him.
Zhou Bao, however, did not show weakness either. Instead of withdrawing his big black hand, he guided it toward Hei Chou. As for the black threads shooting at him, he did not pay them any attention. The Furnace of Immortality then appeared over his head and its golden light enshrouded his body.
"A fairy weapon!"
Hei Chou was also very afraid of Zhou Bao's Giant Void Hand. If it was the Peach Blossom Miasma alone, that would not have been so bad for him. However, the last thing he wanted to do was touch the Elixir of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast.
The Nine-headed Fierce Beast was one of the most powerful Six Royals among all the Primordial Fierce Beasts. Its poison was even lethal to the legendary Celestial Immortals. Nonetheless, he was merely an Immortal. Although there was not a lot of Elixir of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast in this guy's big hand, he still did not want to touch it, for he knew that it was not only poisonous, but it was also hard to detoxify even if he was able to withstand it for a while.
The Elixir of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast was not only the most poisonous thing in this world but also a poison that was the most difficult to detoxify. Even if one really got rid of all the poison, there was a very good chance that internal injuries would be left in one's body. Only a fool would touch such a horrifying thing.
However, this had also aroused his curiosity thoroughly. How could this fellow obtain such a poisonous thing? And even so, how was he able to use it? It seemed that this guy really did deserve his attention because he actually could use this kind of poison so smoothly.
However, this was not the time to think about it. The guy in front of him could not only utilize such an insidious Giant Void Hand so smoothly, but he also had a weird fairy weapon that easily blocked his attacks. And most important of all, this fairy weapon was not the one he had inquired about.
All the practitioners whose cultivations were above the Genuine Immortal Realm in the Seven-deity Regions knew that Zhou Bao had a fairy weapon. Nevertheless, it was just a Lower-grade Taihao Fairy Weapon handed down from the ancient deities. Hei Chou had a distinguished status in the Black Mountain World, but he only had two fairy weapons in his possession. Therefore, at this time, he meant to snatch Zhou Bao's fairy weapon by causing him trouble.
Fairy weapons, in every macro world, were extremely important resources with great combat capability.
However, evidently, Zhou Bao was much powerful than he knew.
At the very start, instead of taking out that well-known fairy weapon, Zhou Bao took out another one.
"It seems that everyone has underestimated you!" Hei Chou did not move an inch, but there was a burst of vague spatial fluctuations rippling around him. Zhou Bao's Giant Void Hand failed to catch him and it fell directly into his Self-world around him.
The Self-world of an Immortal was not able to be called a small world, but rather a Self-universe.
As soon as Zhou Bao's Giant Void Hand came near Hei Chou, it was trapped inside it.
The Self-universe of an Immortal was much stronger than the Lord of Heaven's Self-world. Even Hong Taihe's Self-world would not dare to touch the poisonous gas on Zhou Bao's Giant Void Hand.
However, this Self-universe was completely different. It instantly caught Zhou Bao's hand. And if Zhou Bao was not so clever and his Giant Void Hand did not possess such tremendous toxicity that was powerful enough to fuse the void, perhaps his void hand would have been seized by that guy.
"The Self-universe, what an amazing skill!" Withdrawing his void hand, Zhou Bao could not help admiring that skill. He then fiercely manipulated his Furnace of Immortality to strike Hei Chou directly.
He was a Human Immortal now and was qualified to refine a Self-universe, but he had not done that. He did not even think of it when he was practicing in the Azure Big World for over 100 years.
He had found the path he would take in the future—the Extreme Realm of Force and Vacuum-crushing Skill. Compared with this goal, the so-called heaven and earth, the world, the universe, and even the void were just some things that could be shattered by a single blow. Thinking too much about them was simply useless.
Because of that, he had even changed his fighting style. The Furnace of Immortality was a fairy weapon that was used especially to refine weapons and elixirs. He, however, directly used it to strike people.
"What was that skill?" Obviously, Hei Chou had not expected Zhou Bao to attack him in this way. As he saw the Furnace of Immortality coming close at a high speed, he had no other choice but to evade it. Unlike this furnace, the Giant Void Hand was merely a stream of powerful pneuma; something that would be restrained by space. Although Zhou Bao's Giant Void Hand had melted some of the space in his Self-universe, he did not suffer any big loss. Moreover, he was able to capture this hand if he wanted to. However, to be hit by a fairy weapon was something different. First of all, every fairy weapon possessed a complete Immortal Character. Furthermore, this skull-like furnace was made of weird materials—the skull of an Innate Deity. If he were to be hit by it, his Self-universe would surely suffer a heavy loss.
"The skull of an Innate Deity! How can this be possible? How can you have such a thing? You refined the skull of an Innate Deity into a fairy weapon! You are blaspheming. How vicious you are! The Celestial Deity World will never let go of you!"
"The Celestial Deity World!" Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes and could not help having deep admiration for Hei Chou's sharp eyesight. Many people had eyed this fairy weapon, but no one had figured out its materials at first sight as he had. This showed that, at least, Hei Chou's eyesight far exceeded the practitioners' in the Seven-deity Regions. However, what was the Celestial Deity World that he was talking about?
Upon seeing that Hei Chou had dodged the Furnace of Immortality, Zhou Bao grinned and leaped toward him. Without doing anything fancy, he directly punched Hei Chou with his fist.
"What?!"
This punch left a strange trail in the air. Hei Chou felt the power contained in this punch and wanted to dodge it once more, but he quickly found this thought impractical.
That was because he was not capable of dodging it. Although it was merely a punch, it seemed to have covered the whole universe. It came close to him as if it was a universe that was pressing against him.
He had never had this kind of feeling—be it in the course of his life of more than 1, 00, 000 years, or in the battles that he had been involved.
"What kind of punching skill is this? He actually used it to openly fight against my Self-universe. Did he go crazy, or did someone give him such confidence?"
He looked at Zhou Bao with a heavy heart as he noticed that there was a touch of indifference in Zhou Bao's eyes. Those who had such a look, even though would be lunatics, were by no means normal lunatics. This guy, who was able to execute such a powerful blow, was not that arrogant even though he wanted to go up against his own universe head-on.
"Since you like fighting head-on, then let's do that as you wish!" Hei Chou narrowed his eyes gently and then a bronze mirror popped up in front of him.
Boom!!!
Zhou Bao's fist fiercely smashed into that mirror.
This great force caused Hei Chou, along with his mirror, to retreat dozens of miles away, and the mirror, which had been shining with an unearthly light, suddenly dimmed. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao also felt that a weird force was trying to bounce him away and a strong force was creeping over his arms.
"The mirror? It's a fairy weapon?"
Without a doubt, the bronze mirror was a fairy weapon whose grade was not low. The reason being that, if it was a Pure Yang Celestial Device, it would have been smashed by Zhou Bao's blow; however, if it was a Low-grade Taihao Fairy Weapon, it would not have been able to send Zhou Bao flying such a long distance.
