"Child-endowing Buddha, I want your body!" Like lightning, Zhou Bao rushed to the red cloud in the sky in an instant. With one blow, the force, which was like 10,000 horses galloping, ripped that red cloud.
"Not good!"
The face of Child-endowing Buddha, who was hidden in the red cloud, took on a ghastly expression. Zhou Bao was too speedy, and the power of his fist was totally unexpected. Under no defense, Zhou Bao actually broke through the red cloud and found his Real Body.
From Child-endowing Buddha's perspective, it was impossible, but it did happen to him.
The red cloud covering the sky was also a Pure Yang Celestial Device. It was so powerful that even Child-endowing Buddha could hardly break it. However, counter to all his expectations, it was broken by Zhou Bao's fist.
What happened next, however, was something he would never have predicted. After breaking through the red cloud, Zhou Bao did not slow down at all. Instead, he rushed towards him.
Although Child-endowing Buddha was clocked in the red cloud for the sake of being unsearchable, he could not hide from Zhou Bao's spiritual mind. No sooner had Zhou Bao entered the red cloud than he launched the Three Realms Division and successfully hollow traveled to Child-endowing Buddha. Then, he raised his fist and punched Child-endowing Buddha immediately, trying to fight with him at close quarters.
Child-endowing Buddha had never thought of such a situation, so he did not perceive it until Zhou Bao was close. By the time he was about to react, Zhou Bao's fist had already met his face. Uttering a cry, he lifted his hand to stop it, but how could he stop it?
Bang, bang, bang...
A flurry of loud noise like muffled thunder spread from the sky.
Zhou Bao's attack came at him like a fierce storm. Each fist carried mighty power, which was impossible to defend. In a breath's moment, he was hit by dozens of punches, and each punch struck him hard. Zhou Bao punched very shrewdly and venomously—each punch could hurt him, but still kept his body from flying with a strong pull. Just like this, Child-endowing Buddha suddenly became his punching bag, beaten to a mass of bruises and bones and damaged muscles.
Child-endowing Buddha was beaten senseless by Zhou Bao's storm-like attack.
Although Zhou Bao was one of the 13 Living Buddhas of the Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, Child-endowing Buddha did not know him well enough. Although he knew that Zhou Bao was not at a disadvantage in the close combat with White Tiger, he took it that Zhou Bao was just lucky and that White Tiger did not do his best. Besides, he was too confident in his Pure Yang Celestial Device, so he took it lightly.
Now that Zhou Bao seized the opportunity to beat him up, he was very regretful. Unfortunately, there were not so many remedies for bygones in the world.
In one breath, just one breath!
Child-endowing Buddha was badly wounded by Zhou Bao, both physically and spiritually. Zhou Bao's blazing fists bore the power of invading spirit, each blow producing a crushing force of despair. Child-endowing Buddha actually achieved the Basic level in the golden body of Buddhism, but his golden body was very vulnerable in face of these fists.
His golden body was completely shattered.
After a breath, Child-endowing Buddha recovered from his sharp pain. He shouted and tried to fight back, but Zhou Bao did not give him a chance. As Zhou Bao gave full play to his punching skill, layers of fist strength turned into boundless fist intent which completely captivated Child-endowing Buddha.
Meanwhile, an egg-shaped canopy descended from the skies. The red clouds over Wuyang Region suddenly vanished, and so did the starlight filling the whole sky. The sky was clear again. It was a peaceful, sunny day with white clouds and a gentle breeze. It looked as if nothing happened.
At the same time on the flip side, Child-endowing Buddha lies dazed and covered in blood in Zhou Bao's Fist Intent Space.
He was dazed, extremely dazed, because he could not believe that a Level Nine expert should be able to launch such an eccentric, mysterious and powerful Fist Intent Space.
But in the daze, he still could not get rid of Zhou Bao's blow. In the Fist Intent Space, Zhou Bao's fists transformed into giant stars that appeared suddenly from the hollow space. They bombarded him more violently, harsh, and direct than before.
At this moment, Child-endowing Buddha had completely abandoned the previous arrogance, carefully guarding his whole body using that red cloud, single-minded in defense.
After all, his cultivation had reached the peak of Individual Immortal. Although his combat capability was not as good as White Tiger's, he should not be taken lightly. What mattered the most was that his Pure Yang Celestial Device was an excellent defense. Zhou Bao's fists were powerful, but as Child-endowing Buddha shamelessly defended himself like a coward, Zhou Bao could do nothing but use brute force to impact that Pure Yang Celestial Device step by step.
Under the protection of his Pure Yang Celestial Device, Child-endowing Buddha adjusted himself as he defended. At first, he was so confident and careless that Zhou Bao seized the opportunity abruptly and caught him off guard, hurting him badly. He really could not come up with any good method to counter Zhou Bao's fatal fist strength.
It was because he was not good at fighting physically. As a matter of fact, with a cultivation of this phase, few people were skilled in it, except for a psycho like White Tiger. Their bodies were priceless. They practiced all kinds of Divine Sense and special techniques and could contain the whole world, emanating great power in every act and move. Thus, there was no need for them to fight using their bodies.
Poor Child-endowing Buddha had been an immortal for nearly 3,000 years but had never fought physically. He almost forgot what it was. Being attacked by Zhou Bao this way, he was in a fluster.
"Zhou Bao, don't be too aggressive! Do you think you can break through my Fire Cloud Kasaya? It's a medium-grade Pure Yang Celestial Device, so it's a wishful thinking to break through it with your own strength!"
"Cut the crap!" From his tone of voice, Zhou Bao recognized his uneasiness. How could he not be uneasy? He had been beaten till he could only parry and was unable to fight back. No matter how many means he had and how powerful he was, under Zhou Bao's strong oppression in his Fist Intent Space, he could not display them. He could only be beaten, wait for Zhou Bao's morale to subside and the attack to slow before fighting back.
But Zhou Bao would not give him the chance.
Storm-like meteorites appeared in the hollow, slamming into the red cloud violently. From time to time, amongst the meteorite shower all over the sky appeared one or two large meteorites which were hundreds of times bigger than a normal one. There were also asteroids and one or two meteorites with extremely evil spirit. Every time the two kinds of meteorites hit the red cloud, the red cloud quivered. Child-endowing Buddha's heart would tremble as well because he had a clear sense of the fact that his Fire Cloud Kasaya had been overwhelmed by Zhou Bao's frantic bombardment.
"It's not possible! How could this be? He is so young but why does he have so perverse and powerful strength?" He bellowed in his heart, trying to vent his uneasiness. The Real Essence Dharma power from his body ferociously injected in Fire Cloud Kasaya.
"I say, Child-endowing Buddha, no matter what, you're one of the 13 Living Buddhas of the Bigwheel Temple. Why are you so weak? You actually carry a ragged kasaya and treat it as a treasure. You look like a wreck yet you still have the nerves to challenge me and provoke my wife. You're really courting death!"
As soon as Zhou Bao gained the advantage and almost figured out the strength of Child-endowing Buddha, he was relieved. Child-endowing Buddha was easier to deal with than White Tiger. White Tiger was expert in fighting at close quarters. It was not as easy as the situation now, where he could gain the upper hand so easily.
Hearing Zhou Bao's sarcasm, Child-endowing Buddha nearly vomited blood, "Zhou Bao, don't be too complacent, I...!"
Bang, bang, bang!
While he was talking, Zhou Bao was lucky enough to make three Critical Hits in a row. This resulted in three small asteroids with tens of kilometers in diameter in the Fist Intent Space, slamming into the red cloud.
Finally, the red cloud could not bear it and began to break down.
"That's too bad!"
Realizing that his Pure Yang Celestial Device was broken by Zhou Bao, Child-endowing Buddha opened his mouth widely with an unbelievable look. However, he was not a man who waited passively for his end. With a low cry, Child-endowing Buddha bit his tongue suddenly, and a mouthful of essence and blood spurting out. His Gang Qi galloped around him, creating a Golden Buddha above his head, giving off an immense dignity.
"Zhou Bao, how dare you be so rude to me! You're too cocky! Go to hell!"
Child-endowing Buddha gave a roar and a great deal of golden light came out of him. Brahman singing sounded like thunder and shocked everyone. The golden light formed golden lotuses, blocking the boundless meteorites.
All of a sudden, Golden Buddha lifted a huge palm.
The power of the palm was so extraordinary that it instantly overpowered Zhou Bao's fist. It was infinitely more powerful than the Heavenly Dragon's Giant Handprint which was launched when Child-endowing Buddha first appeared.
With only one palm, the situation was reversed.
It seemed to be an illusion, but it was not like an illusion.
In an instant, the palm was magnified endlessly as if it lifted the whole Fist Intent Space.
Zhou Bao could not escape his palm in any way!
It was World in the Palm!
"How could it be? World in the Palm is a Supreme Power, belonging to Buddha and his disciples of the Leiyin Temple. How could he master it?"
The instant the World in the Palm appeared, the spirit of Green Spirit waved violently and connected to Zhou Bao's spirit. "Be careful, this guy is more difficult to deal with than I thought!"
"Hmm, I never thought he was easy to deal with!" As the situation changed, Zhou Bao did not panic. He raised his hand and a stray of black and red Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips, severely cutting the huge palm beneath him.
"Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword?"
The Sword Qi was quite uncomparably sharp but it did not manage to hurt the huge palm. Child-endowing Buddha was taken aback, for he knew at a glance the special technique that Zhou Bao was using. "You know this special technique. It's a pity that you haven't mastered it, and have not yet grasped the essence of the true nature of the Heavenly Sword Qi. That's fine. When I catch you and torture your spirit, I will force you to tell me its incantation. I'll then have one more killing method!"
The huge palm began to close together while he was speaking.
Not good!
As the huge palm closes, Zhou Bao felt that the space around him was confined, and his Fist Intent Space began to collapse under the huge palm.
"Fella, let me destroy your flesh, draw out your spirit, and take away your wife. I'll let you watch me have double cultivation with her and take the Divine Qi of her Sacred Roots. Hahaha…!"
