"Reincarnation! This is reincarnation!"
The Big Azure World was evolving. As the Fate Creator of the Big Azure World, Zhou Bao felt the world was changing according to the Way of Heaven. Well, what on earth was reincarnation?
What was reincarnation?
Whether there was really a thing such as reincarnation in this world had always been a suspending question for Zhou Bao. He had imagined the concept. He had also doubted it. But today, this concept became unprecedentedly clear to him.
When the Emperor of the Netherworld handed him the Reincarnation Scroll, Zhou Bao had not understood this mysterious scroll at all. However, after watching the evolution of the Big Azure World, Zhou Bao finally had the chance to see what it was.
"It turns out that reincarnation is such a simple concept. It's the same as I imagined. But it's more perfect, more comprehensive!" Zhou Bao exclaimed, as he gained more insight into reincarnation.
With this experience, he attained a thorough understanding of reincarnation. In fact, reincarnation simply meant keeping balance.
When a creature died, it did not actually disappear. Instead, its flesh was turned to ashes to nurture other creatures. To some extent, it was reborn in other forms. Its spirit would wander about in the world and transform into the purest energy, being distributed everywhere and becoming nutrients for other creatures. This sounded like the conservation of energy, a widely known law in his previous life. This was reincarnation.
However, there was a problem with this kind of reincarnation.
This problem had occurred in almost every macro world's evolution. It was the declining power of living creatures.
In the age of the Primordial Origin and primitive times, living creatures were strong and tough. Many were capable of brewing storms and catching the moon at birth. But as time passed, the number of living creatures in the world grew larger and larger, and their power became feebler and feebler. If you explored the cause, you would find that this was because the power of the most ancient and tough living creatures was widely dispersed when the creatures died. Their spirit dissolved as well. In this way, after thousands of years' evolution, the world turned out to be the way it was now. Although more and more living creatures were born into the world, they could no longer possess the amazing power their ancestors in the Primordial Origin and primitive times had.
The flesh was no longer complete. It was the same with the spirit, the inheritance of power, and the bloodline. When everything was incomplete, the Void Universe was bound to head for one era—the Dharma Ending Age!
Since remote times, many powerful and insightful men had foreseen this. They had put great effort into avoiding such a destiny. The most sensational one was the Necromancer's Tribulation in antiquity times. Frankly speaking, the necromancers had been trying to recover the glory of primitive times, to reproduce the power of the deities, demons, and beasts that had lived in primitive times. But unfortunately, they screwed up. Not only did they fail to achieve their grand course, they also accelerated the advent of the Dharma Ending Age, nearly destroying the world in the process.
Apart from the necromancers in antiquity times, according to history, there were loads of men who had exerted their effort and found perfect solutions. One of these men was the Taoist Reincarnation, an ancient Celestial Immortal who had invented the Way of Reincarnation.
The Netherworld Heaven and the You Ming Heaven were both his masterpieces.
These two micro worlds could reserve all the spirits of living creatures, as many as possible. When they reincarnated, they would be combined into the newly bred lives and spirits. In this way, at least the power of spirit would not subside significantly as time went by.
However, even though he was an ancient Celestial Immortal with nearly endless power and longevity, his ambition of building up a reincarnation system in the whole Void Universe had been but a mere wild dream.
The most he could do was build up a reincarnation system in a macro world. And that was all.
But such a system had not given the Taoist Reincarnation a single bit of a sense of achievement. And this reincarnation system in an independent macro world could not fix the root of the problem. Therefore, he had passed the Way of Reincarnation to his two disciples—the Emperor of the Netherworld and Emperor Youming.
"The Netherworld Heaven can use some improvement. Even though it has absorbed the power of the Bloody River World and produced the Reincarnation Roulette, it is unable to form a complete Reincarnation System. I still need the power of the You Ming World and the other volume of the Reincarnation Scroll to perfect this system!"
Zhou Bao made this decision in his mind.
He was not the Taoist Reincarnation, he was merely a Divine Immortal. He did not have the mightiness of the Taoist Reincarnation or his ambition. He only wanted to do this for the sake of his Big Azure World. If the Big Azure World could have a Reincarnation System, it would be elevated to a rank second only to the five main worlds. Upgrading the Big Azure World would also promote the rank of his Black Pearl as well as boost its power.
Actually, this was an unexpected benefit for Zhou Bao, who at first merely intended to absorb some essential Dharmas and notch up the power of his Black Pearl.
"This time, it can be said that I've truly offended the Celestial Mystery Emperor!"
In the vortex created from the blast of the two macro worlds, Zhou Bao could still hear the ferocious howls and enraged divine thoughts of the Celestial Mystery Emperor very clearly. He involuntarily withdrew his head and cackled, "Celestial Mystery Emperor, do you really believe you can calculate the Divine Design?" "The emperor must have been out of his mind to name himself in such an arrogant way. He will certainly pay for it!" Zhou Bao muttered in a sarcastic tone. Then, he directed the Big Azure World to absorb the power of the essential Dharmas from the two macro worlds. It was rapidly absorbing the power in a more and more unbridled fashion, when an accident happened.
"Divine Design Palace? You still expect to have a share of my benefits?" When he caught the sight of something red rushing in, Zhou Bao knew it was the Divine Design Palace and gave a sneer. He suddenly urged the Black Pearl to head for the Divine Design Palace and crash into it.
"Brat, how dare you!"
A growl suddenly sounded. The Celestial Mystery Emperor had finally made his strike. He'd gone for Zhou Bao's Supreme Fairy Weapon straightaway.
Apricot yellow radiance poured in and instantly suppressed the explosion of the two macro worlds. In the radiance, Zhou Bao could vaguely see a flag. It sent out 10, 000 golden lotuses, which hoisted the Black Pearl.
"What the hell is that?" Zhou Bao was stunned. He knew the power of the Black Pearl very well. It was a Supreme Fairy Weapon and had absorbed several essential Dharmas, so its power was supposed to be incredible. But just when it was about to demonstrate its power, it had been subdued by an unknown fairy weapon. How humiliated he was. Even the Black Pearl itself seemed like it was being provoked. It issued a blast of a dark green light, immediately crumbling the golden lotuses in front of it.
"Be careful, that's the Apricot Color Flag, a complete Heavenly Fairy Weapon! It's not easy to tackle!" Ghost Child recognized the Celestial Mystery Emperor's Heavenly Fairy Weapon and kindly informed Zhou Bao.
The Apricot Color Flag, a name he was already familiar with, was a legendary top grade defensive fairy weapon.
"Apricot Color Flag, a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, the top defensive fairy weapon. Let's see whether you can defend against my Black Pearl!"
"Boom!"
Innumerable golden lotuses floating in the sky were blasted into dust. The Black Pearl was already approaching the Apricot Color Flag.
"Swish!"
The Apricot Color Flag did not flinch. Instead, it cast a jet of golden light and blocked the Black Pearl. Although this all happened in a split second, it was enough to see which side was winning.
An enormous golden lotus bloomed out of thin air and wrapped around the Black Pearl.
"This is—"
"The Center Apricot Color Flag is the real core of the Central Star Area. Do you really believe you can break it just like that? If it was not for the small fragment of the Ancient Sacred City inside your Supreme Fairy Weapon, it would have long been sealed by the Apricot Color Flag!"
"So what?" Zhou Bao gave a cold grin. He continued urging the Black Pearl to power up. A jet of black light burst out from the Black Pearl.
"Taste my Void-breaking Bomb!"
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...
It was as if the Black Pearl had turned into an invincible warship, throwing bombs from every corner. They landed on the huge golden lotus that was enveloping it and forced the flower to shake something fierce.
"How could you be so audacious!" The Celestial Mystery Emperor was not cowed at all. The Apricot Color Flag suddenly enveloped the huge golden lotus and jets of strange flames erupted from it. These flames were bright yellow and lotus-shaped. They leaped onto the Black Pearl like living creatures and started licking at the ship.
"Extreme Jade Flowing Flame! One of the nine types of Heavenly Fire! He is going to refine your Black Pearl!" Ghost Child shrieked immediately, astonished by the scene before him.
"One of the nine types of Heavenly Fire? He wants to refine my Black Pearl with this thing? How naive!" Zhou Bao sneered. The body of the Black Pearl trembled abruptly. If we put it in a nice way, the ship was stretched out like a tiger about to show its real power; but if we described it in a less decent way, the ship looked like a dog trying to shake water off its body.
The ship trembled and the huge golden lotus was shaken into pieces, leaving an unblocked path to the Apricot Color Flag.
"A Heavenly Fairy Weapon? Fu*k you! Black Pearl, crash!" Zhou Bao roared."Celestial Mystery Emperor, do you dare to come out?"
"Boom!"
The Black Pearl collided into the Apricot Color Flag.
"Er?"
Inside the Divine Design Palace, the Celestial Mystery Emperor suddenly shuddered. Despite his sturdy body, he could not help but step back slightly under the impact of the quake."Damn it. It is a Supreme Fairy Weapon. But it has just been refined and should not possess its full power. How could it make such an attack?"
Staring at the grim-faced Celestial Mystery Emperor, Emperor Youming gave a wry smile."Why did he use the Supreme Fairy Weapon like that? Ordering it to collide into its opponent!"
In everyone's mind, a Supreme Fairy Weapon was always an impressive fighting fortress with inexhaustible energy and power. In the blink of an eye, it could launch numerous attacks. Also, it was equipped with peerlessly powerful defense. However, no one had ever seen a Supreme Fairy Weapon like the Black Pearl, which seldom resorted to attacking means like the Void-breaking Bomb or other intricate techniques. It prevailed with its pure power like a wild bull.
But they did not know this was exactly Zhou Bao's style.
What Zhou Bao practiced was the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill. His goal was to achieve the Extreme Realm of Force and Crushing Vacuum Ability. You could see this not only in his personal combat style but also in the way his Supreme Fairy Weapon had developed.
For Zhou Bao's Black Pearl, no matter what kind of strange weapons or defensive formation the opponent employed, they were all in vain. The sole attack it would launch was to crash into its target!
