Strange and mysterious spirits pervaded everywhere. Zhou Bao had to operate his Demonic Fire Internal Qi to repeatedly suppress the commotion of his Fiery Eyes.
"Are these the Fiery Eyes? Damn it! How could this be? Why is the bloodline of the Fiery Eyes tribe still in the world?" Emissary Chang looked awful. They were completely suppressed by Ye Qingtian and struggled under the cyan flag's protection. Thus they had no time to take the Golden Book of Fate's shadow into account. In fact, they did not plan to.
The Golden Book of Fate's shadow possessed the functions of the Golden Book of Fate, and only those who received permission could control it. Even a Level Eight or Level Nine expert, a Genuine Immortal or a Human Immortal could not pose a threat to the shadow, but they all forgot something.
The Fiery Eyes!
They were aware that the Fiery Eyes would create some wonderful reactions when meeting the Golden Book of Fate. But the real descendants of the Fiery Eyes tribe had disappeared thousands of years ago. Therefore, many people believed that they had gone extinct. Moreover, they hadn't expected that a descendant of the Fiery Eyes tribe would appear in Taiyuan Heaven.
Taiyuan Heaven would only open every 1,000 years. People who entered it represented the interests of different forces. Therefore, every force would carefully select the people to enter Taiyuan Heaven. They would not want to be involved with the Fiery Eyes tribe, a taboo bloodline.
That was why the Divine Wind Palace rested assured and was arrogant.
This time, however, they came across an unexpected and impossible thing.
A man with the Fiery Eyes bloodline entered Taiyuan Heaven at the critical time when the Divine Wind Palace was conducting their plan. He wanted the Golden Book of Fate's shadow.
"Ye Qingtian, how dare you to collude with the descendant of the Fiery Eyes tribe. Aren't you afraid of being attacked by everyone?"
"Hmpf. Everyone? I'm afraid it will be your Divine Wind Palace! If I kill you three here today, who else will know about it?" Ye Qingtian said coldly with strong killing intent. Since he had attacked, he would not leave them any chance to go back alive. Otherwise, they would bring troubles to him!
"Don't think the Blue Waves Vast Ocean Flag can protect you!" Streaks of starlight pounded on the protective clouds made by the Blue Waves Vast Ocean Flag. The flag was radiant with cyan color earlier, but now it was dim and tottering.
"It's just a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Do you think it can stop me?" Ye Qingtian shouted loudly. The Internal Qi was surging around his body. Overwhelming power was released from his body and the silver streaks encircled him. The silver wave surged forward and the silver airflow formed a giant vortex. It condensed around him. An infinite pneuma in Taiyuan Heaven converged and encircled him as well.
"This seems like the legendary Big Dipper Magical Punch!"
Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes and smiled as he saw this scene.
Big Dipper Magical Punch! This was Big Dipper Magical Punch! He had destroyed it forcefully when fighting with Ye Qingtian.
However, there was only one Zhou Bao in the world and only he had comprehended his fist intent thoroughly before the Mysterious Realm. He was a genius but also a freak. No one could possess such a powerful fist intent that simulated the universe like him. His fist intent completely controlled Ye Qingtian's Big Dipper Magical Punch!
No matter if it was Emissary Chang or the golden-clad, tough man, none of them were able to do that.
Compared to several months ago when he fought against Zhou Bao, Ye Qingtian's fist intent became several times compacter, and his Big Dipper Magical Punch became more powerful.
"How can this guy make such a great progress within several months?"
"He's the same as you and has great luck too. Maybe he had some lucky chances after suffering from the frustration that you gave him the last time. Moreover, he's more composed now. It seems that he has benefited from the lesson you taught him."
"Really? Is there such a good thing?!" Zhou Bao harbored another idea in his mind. "I should have been more ruthless."
"Don't flatter yourself. He was pushed to a dead end by you and escaped by tearing apart space with his fairy weapon in the last minute. Even if you are strong enough, you're courting death when encountering a fairy weapon!"
"That's true. But I never expected that he could recover so quickly and was related to the Fiery Eyes!"
"What a surprise!" Green Spirit sighed gently. Even though he had some intentions about the trip to Taiyuan Heaven this time, he never expected to encounter something like this.
Boom!
Ye Qingtian's Big Dipper Magical Punch fiercely hit on the Blue Waves Vast Ocean Flag. The Big Dipper Magical Punch condensed all the star force's pneuma into a tiny point and then suddenly exploded.
Although the Blue Waves Vast Ocean Flag was a Pure Yang Celestial Device, it could not withstand such a fierce strike. It offset most of the fist power. After that, the cyan clouds on it dissipated and it turned into a dim flag. The golden-clad, tough man grasped it with his hands.
However, it only offset a part of the Big Dipper Magical Punch's power. The remnant power surged toward Emissary Chang and the golden-clad man.
There was a wide strength gap between the two parts. Though it was just a smaller part of the fist force, the two could not take it. They both made muffled snorts, sprayed out blood from their mouths, and were sent flying by the force. Under the impact, the golden-clad man could not hold the Blue Waves Vast Ocean Flag tightly anymore. His hand opened and the flag flew aimlessly through the air.
"Haha. It's really a good thing!" Forthright laughter came to people's ears. A figure flashed away and grasped the Blue Waves Vast Ocean Flag.
This brute was Lei whose voice was resonant. Zhou Bao had met him on the Blue Whale Island.
Lei spat a mouthful of essence blood at the flag without a second thought. There was black Qi in the essence blood. Once it touched the flag, the newly-arising cyan light on the flag was suppressed by it.
After that, he wiped the flag on his clothes, laughing, and put the flag in his bosom.
Looking up, he saw Ye Qingtian. He then laughed and said, "You're busy so I won't disturb you. I'm here to be an onlooker and enjoy the bustling scene!"
"Enjoy the bustling scene?" Ye Qingtian's expression slightly changed. He clenched his fists and starlight shone around him. "What kind of bustling scene?"
"Don't intimidate me. It's useless. I admit that you're a little more powerful than me. However, you've exhausted a lot of energy in the fight just now. If we fight seriously, no one knows who will be the winner. This is your humans' business. We're just here to be onlookers and take some advantages of you. We won't help either of you. However, if you push us into a corner, we may help these bastards from the Divine Wind Palace. Hey, guys. Am I right?"
Another two members of the Demon tribe who followed Lei showed up and looked at him enviously. After hearing his words, they nodded in agreement. They stepped behind him and looked at Ye Qingtian cautiously and defensively.
"It's merely a Pure Yang Celestial Device. I don't value it!" Ye Qingtian laughed coldly. He was wise enough to choose to concede and stood still in the air as he glanced at the two rays of red light, which shot out from the void.
These two red rays broke the golden light of the Golden Book of Fate'shadow and hit it directly. They tried to melt it as if they were sunlight that shed on glaciers. Though it had some effects, it was not enough.
The Golden Book of Fate began to melt very slowly.
"Oh, my god. The Fiery Eyes really can control the Golden Book of Fate!"
After a while, Green Spirit's psywave passed to Zhou Bao. He was very surprised and said, "His Fiery Eyes are powerful, however, he doesn't know the real method to control the Golden Book of Fate. He can only take tough measures to destroy the influences that the Golden Book of Fate exerted on its shadow one by one. It needs a long time."
"I wonder what he's doing?" Zhou Bao felt strange after watching for a while.
"He's wiping off the imprint, which the Golden Book of Fate left on its shadow, by using the Fiery Eyes' power. And then he brands his imprint on it. In this way, he can control the shadow completely!"
"What benefit can he get by controlling its shadow?" Zhou Bao was still confused.
"You're an idiot!" Green Spirit scolded him, "The Golden Book of Fate is the Great Way Embodiment. The shadow is the same. However, the shadow is less powerful. You should know that the sparrow may be small but all its vital organs are there. It's the same with the shadow. Because it's small, it's easy to control. After controlling it, he can benefit considerably when comprehending the mysteries of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth. His comprehension will be leveled up very quickly. Moreover, with the suppression of the shadow, he doesn't need to worry about his foundation. You can display a combat capability that is equal to that of ordinary Metaphysic Individual Immortals when you're at Level Eight. If he controls the shadow, after comprehending for a period of time, his strength and comprehension will go beyond that of Genuine Immortals and even Human Immortals, even though he's at Level Nine. Besides, his combat capability will increase sharply. In the future, he doesn't need to worry about barriers in the cultivation. If he has enough pneuma, he can break through to Metaphysic Realm, Genuine Immortal phase, and even Human Immortal phase. He can even take advantage of the Thunder Tribulation to upgrade his cultivation according to the Great Way of Heaven and Earth when passing through it. Are these benefits?"
"There are such good things?!" Zhou Bao suddenly became greedy. "If I can get it...!"
"You can get the same benefits as him. However, the power of your Fiery Eyes haven't been exploited yet and thus you cannot apply it. Otherwise, you could have a try!"
"I'd better not. If I get the shadow, I'll be too conspicuous. Since there's someone who has stood out, I'd better do him a favor."
"Do him a favor?!" Green Spirit was confounded. "You mean...!"
"Anyhow, he possesses Fiery Eyes like me. We're destined allies just like Wang She and me. Although the promotion of his cultivation may do no good to me, it should do no bad to me either. The more powerful he is, the more attention he can attract, and the safer I'll be!" Zhou Bao said.
"Mm. Not bad. Kid, you finally become judicious. But you don't need to help him now. With the help of Ye Qingtian, he can maintain it for some time. Besides, he may have other helpers."
"Of course. Three men are allowed to enter Taiyuan Heaven with one Taiyuan Token. Including Ye Qingtian, there are only two men. Fortunately, I haven't stolen Ye Qingtian's Taiyuan Token the last time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the chance to see this scene."
"If you would have done so, you would have fought each other with Fiery Eyes!" They both smiled and observed the situation secretly from the dark.
An hour had passed. The red light was still melting the Golden Book of Fate. No one had received any information, voice, or image from Zhang Yunhao, who was on the steep cliff. No one could figure out whether he knew what had happened outside. Even if he did, he could not divert his attention. The Primeval Beast there was difficult to handle. Even though he had fairy weapons, he was not absolutely sure about it.
Emissary Chang and the golden-clad man were sent flying dozens of miles by Ye Qingtian. They fell on top of a floating mountain and recovered a little bit of strength within an hour. But they were unable to pose a threat to Ye Qingtian after losing the Blue Waves Vast Ocean Flag's protection. When they wanted to leave, they were stared at by Ye Qingtian. The cold killing intent pervaded the air, leaving them unable to breathe. They could only stand still at where they were.
The nearby, evil beasts and supernatural animals were quite intelligent and nimble. They were frightened by Ye Qingtian's punch just now.
Big Dipper Magical Punch absorbed the essence of the world. Thus, creatures with a strong spiritual mind immediately understood that there was an extremely powerful human being here. They dared not to provoke him. So, they stayed away from him and dared not come near.
At this moment, many figures flashed through the sky and hurried over.
"Someone is coming!" When seeing this, Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes, while Ye Qingtian frowned his eyebrows.
But he was not that anxious. One hour was sufficient for him to recover the pneuma that he had exhausted just now.
There was no Mysterious Realm expert in Taiyuan Heaven. So, naturally, he was not afraid of those people who were at the peak of Level Nine or Demi-Mysterious Realm.
He was only afraid of Zhou Bao. When thinking of him, he became alert. But no one's spirit matched Zhou Bao's among those approaching figures, so he gradually rested assured.
"They were so vulnerable!"
"Haha. It seems like there's really no idiot in the world!" Green Spirit grinned sarcastically.
"Hmpf. Men die for wealth, as birds for food. Zhang Yunhao called me when entering Taiyuan Heaven. Any wise man knows he wants to change Taiyuan Token with me. It means that there must be good things in my area. Even people from Divine Wind Palace were anxious about it. I assume it's uncommon. Those approaching figures surely want to have a look. They must be very tired in order to hide. But now, they missed the highlight."
"Not necessarily. The highlight is just beginning!" Green Spirit said.
"The more people there are, the more favorable the situation is. I can make a profit in the troubled situation!" Zhou Bao lowered his body gently. His spirit was so clear that his body was like a stone. "I'm wondering whether Wang She comes here or is already nearby. Ye Qingtian had made such a big stir, he must have felt it. He has practiced his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill to the acme of perfection. No one would notice him even if he's here."
Zhou Bao was guessing whether Wang She and Mo Yinyang would come. At the same time, Emissary Chang and another golden-robed man were overjoyed when they saw someone coming.
Seeing acquaintances, Emissary Chang exclaimed, "Senior Brother Kong, Ye Qingtian colludes with the descendant of Fiery Eyes tribe and harbors sinister plots. He not only wants to harm the Lord but also tries to steal the copy of the Golden Book of Fate. Hurry up! Please stop him!"
"What?!"
Senior Brother Kong looked like 30 plus years old. But his eyes were filled with a sense of vicissitudes. He was much older than his appearance made him look like. When he had heard Emissary Chang's words, his expression changed sharply, and he glanced at Ye Qingtian. When he saw the two red rays in the void and the Golden Book of Fate's shadow, he suddenly looked terrible.
"Damn it! What does the Divine Wind Palace want to do?" He swore in a low voice and turned back. "Great Dark Lord Du and Master Mandkesvara, no matter what kind of grievance we have, it's inappropriate to handle it now. The bloodline of the Fiery Eyes tribe reappeared. It's very significant. We'd better join hands to deal with it. What do you think?"
"Amitabha. Sadhu, sadhu!" Happy Monk devoutly put his palms together and affectedly read a Buddhist name. He looked at Emissary Chang unfriendly and winked at Great Dark Lord Du. The latter nodded without anyone noticing it, and they both rushed toward Ye Qingtian first.
"Suppressing devils is the righteous cause of Buddhism. All living creatures must be in utter misery since the devil of the Fiery Eyes tribe appeared. We must join hands to eliminate him."
Happy Monk exclaimed as he rushed forward. A Buddhist halo shone around him and made him look like the incarnation of a true enlightened monk.
What happened next really surprised Zhou Bao. Experts coming from far away followed Great Dark Lord Du and Happy Monk, rushing toward Ye Qingtian without a doubt.
Li Xiu and another three to four younger experts hesitated for a while. But finally, they followed them as well.
All of a sudden, Sword Qi, Gang Qi, sabers, fists, and palms mixed together, raging toward Ye Qingtian.
Although Ye Qingtian was really powerful, he had to retreat when facing the joint attack of dozens of experts. He flashed like starlight and rushed into the crowd.
These experts were not bad. Those who were qualified to enter Taiyuan Heaven were elites. They were entrusted with an important position by different forces. None of them were ordinary. When they saw that Ye Qingtian turned into silver light and rushed toward them, they all scattered orderly. They knew they could not withstand his attack. Though they did not know each other, they were so powerful that they knew when to advance and retreat when coordinating with strangers.
Ye Qingtian was not ordinary either. He rushed into the array and found a target. Then he directly hit Happy Monk with his palm.
"How dare you cause trouble to me?!" Happy Monk's expression changed when he saw that the Starlight Palm was going to hit him. As angry as he was, he didn't dare to underestimate it. He shouted in a low voice and operated his Internal Qi. A dark golden ray shot out from his head and turned into a smiling, dark golden Buddha. It made gestures and hit on the Starlight Palm.
Boom!
The great force of the Starlight Palm destroyed the Buddha completely. However, the Starlight Palm turned into scattered starlight and encircled Ye Qingtian.
Ptui!
Happy Monk spat a mouthful of blood out and exclaimed, "Freak. He's a freak. He has opened at least three acupoints. You should be careful, Great Dark Lord Du!" While speaking, he fell on the mountain peak as if he was severely injured.
"What a crafty, bald ass!" Great Dark Lord Du scolded Happy Monk secretly, but his action did not slow down. He rushed toward the starlight. "Ye Qingtian, since you've colluded with the descendant of the Fiery Eyes tribe, you won't have a happy ending!"
Ye Qingtian just snorted. The starlight around him turned into a giant palm again and fiercely hit toward Great Dark Lord Du. At that moment, those separated experts gathered again and displayed all kinds of magic arts on Ye Qingtian.
"What a cheap trick!" Ye Qingtian shook his body and another starlight palm was formed surrounding him, bearing down on these experts.
Boom, boom!
It sounded as if it was thundering in the sky or two nuclear bombs were exploding in the air.
Suddenly, two mushroom-shaped clouds sprang up into the sky.
"What a powerful man! Ye Qingtian, we'll wait and see. You hurt us today and there will be someone who revenges us!" Great Dark Lord Du wailed bitterly. He took his two subordinates to fly out from one of the mushroom-shaped clouds and landed on the mountain peak that Happy Monk was standing on.
The three were scorched and staggered as if they were severely injured.
The conditions of the experts who followed the three was the same. It seemed that Ye Qingtian's strength had far surpassed that of Metaphysic Individual Immortals. Dozens of experts at Level Eight or Level Nine fled in utter confusion by his attack. Li Xiu could not figure out what had happened at the beginning. But Golden Rooster pulled him aside and pinched his waist with great force.
"Ouch!" He felt the pain and let out an earth-shaking scream. Meanwhile, he was dragged out of the battle field by Golden Rooster and landed on a distant peak.
When everything vanished, only Ye Qingtian and another four people were left in the air. They were inextricably linked with the Divine Wind Palace, or we could say that they were staunch supporters of it. They were severely injured. However, they supported themselves laboriously. They either operated Gang Qi or took out their magic weapons to confront Ye Qingtian.
Ye Qingtian's face was somewhat pale. The two palms he had displayed just now exhausted much of his pneuma. However, he had opened many acupoints. His Internal Qi was profound and dense. Therefore, it was easy for him to regain the pneuma he had exhausted.
"Only you four left now. Are you going to stop me?" Ye Qingtian laughed coldly. He glanced at them and then shifted his focus on the shadow of Golden Book of Fate.
At this moment, half of the Golden Book of Fate's shadow had melted. The golden light that it emitted became weaker, and the cliff became quiet as well. After the golden light vanished completely, the passageway on the cliff would disappear too. No matter how powerful Zhang Yunhao was, he could not come out alive even with fairy weapons.
"Ye Qingtian, are you crazy? Why would you collude with the descendant of the Fiery Eyes tribe and leave yourself no road of retreat?" The countenance of these four people's leader was cold. He held two golden bangles in his hands, which emitted extraordinary light. Everybody would know at first sight that it was an extremely powerful celestial device.
Ye Qingtian ignored him and put his hands behind his back. "Stay there obediently. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
"You...!"
The one who held the golden bangles moved his hands and stared at Ye Qingtian maliciously. But in the end, he did not take action. "Fine. Ye Qingtian, you'd better remember that you've humiliated me, Hai Hanyun, today. I surely will humiliate you twofold!"
Ye Qingtian raised his eyebrows. "Don't stay there any longer if you don't take any action. If you mess up my thing, I'll kill you too!"
"Hmpf!" Hai Hanyun stared at him bitterly. He put down the two bangles and said to the two men behind him, "Let's go!"
"Hai Hanyun, you can't leave like this. He colluded with the descendant of the Fiery Eyes tribe. It's an earth-shaking event. He is meant to be the enemy of the whole world. You mustn't get cold feet and let him succeed even if you die. Ouch...!"
Before the man finished speaking, a silver Sword Qi shot out and shattered his head directly.
Star River Divine Way Sword!
"Noisy!"
After killing the man with only a single move, Ye Qingtian twitched his mouth and stared at Hai Hanyun. Hai Hanyun was frightened by him. He didn't dare to speak anymore and landed on the peak with his two subordinates.
"You, you...!" Seeing this situation, the golden-robed man and Emissary Chang became furious. However, they were severely injured and had no choice left. They could only watch experts from different parties with evil intent.
"It seems that the so-called orthodox strength that was made of different forces did not work together!"
"You human beings have never been of one mind!" Green Spirit seemed to think of something. He grinned and said, "It's a good thing for you!"
"Of course. But I should observe further and figure out what kind of benefits it can bring me!" Zhou Bao nodded in agreement.
Without other's interference, Ye Qingtian became slightly relieved. With his strength, his chances of winning were low when he encountered so many experts at a time. Let alone there were several experts who had reached Demi-Mysterious Realm.
The two red rays became more radiant. However, the golden light of the Golden Book of Fate's shadow became weaker. As the golden light was about to disappear and the lofty cliff was going to recover, a scattered light suddenly emitted out from the cliff and hit the two red rays directly.
The red light suddenly became weak. Then, an overwhelming spirit shot out from the cliff and swept across all directions.
"Fairy weapons, this is the power of fairy weapons!" Green Spirit's psywave throbbed violently.
