Chapter 630: The Appearance of the Thunder Emperor’s Palace, A Bad Start

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

As Administrator Zhang’s personal bodyguard, Zhou Bao showed the power of a Venerable. Although he was far from being a Venerable, his Qi Power was extremely powerful. No one would look down upon him. Those who learned that he was lower than the Venerable Realm would think that he was hiding his cultivation or had practiced some special skill. In short, no one doubted him.

Doubt him?

No way! Administrator Zhang had ruled this vast area for at least a hundred thousand years. What did a hundred thousand years mean? A hundred thousand years ago, the Seven-deity Regions had been in the medieval period, which was now a legend. That was to say, if the old octopus lived in the Seven-deity Regions, he would have become a legend.

More than a hundred thousand years ago, he had become famous in the Sea Area, without a single defeat. He had an accumulated influence of more than a hundred thousand years. His authority was arguably greater than that of the Emperors of the Seven-deity Regions.

It was precisely because he had such strong authority that none of his subordinates dared to question him, nor did they dare to put forward different opinions. His subordinates followed his orders and obeyed him absolutely. He was sure that he could help Zhou Bao get the Pool of Thunder Tribulation.

Things were easy for Zhou Bao over the next few days. Undisturbed, he waited for the Thunder Emperor’s palace to be opened, and then went to seek profit. While he waited, he picked up his companions with the help of Administrator Zhang.

His companions were Wang She and the Child-endowing Buddha.

When they arrived, they were amazed at how close Zhou Bao had suddenly become to such a powerful man of the Sea Area.

“It has been discovered that, when you came out of the Seven-deity Regions, the man who attacked the Golden Embroidered Warship was the Rolling Dragon King. We don’t know how he got your information. Together with the other four Dragon Kings of the Five-dragon Regions, he laid a trap in space to make a sneak attack on you. He wanted you to be lost at the end of space. Unexpectedly, you guys came out, although it was a little late.”

“Humph, the Rolling Dragon King is going crazy. He was too preoccupied with revenge to care about anything. Had it not been for the barrier of the Seven-deity Regions, he would have attacked the Seven-deity Regions. Alas, Yu Nantian is out of luck!”

“That’s good. The Divine Wind Palace has their hands full with the Rolling Dragon King. They are having a difficult time, but it gives us a chance to move in the dark!”

“The Divine Wind Palace may actually be about to fall on hard times. It would be unfortunate if they lost some men in the Thunder Emperor’s palace!” the Child-endowing Buddha said faintly. “If I were you, I would do everything possible to keep Yu Taixuan and the Divine Wind Palace Venerables in the Thunder Emperor’s palace forever!”

“What about Yu Taixu?”

“He’s the lord of the Divine Wind Palace. He not only has a special status, he also knows the secrets of the Ancient Celestial Court and has mysterious fate. Even if you try your best, I don’t think you can kill him!” The Child-endowing Buddha shook his head. “Maybe you’ll both be weakened. That’s not a good way. The best way to deal with a colossus like the Divine Wind Palace is to slowly chip away at its power, as we have been doing. Take them one by one and cut off their wings before they realize it. Then the final blow is sure to wipe them out!”

“As I killed Yu Taicang!”

“Yu Taicang was the first, not the last. Because of the profound nature of the Divine Wind Palace, killing one of their Lords of Heaven and dozens of Venerables won’t harm their strength, nor will it arouse much attention from them. We can only weaken them slowly, and to a certain extent, we can collapse them. If Yu Taixuan and the Venerables were to die here, the Divine Wind Palace would be badly weakened and Yu Taixu’s leadership would be in doubt. By then, the Divine Wind Palace will be unstable, and we’ll have more opportunities!”

“What if I kill Hong Taihe too?”

“Hong Taihe is an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven, but he has refined the World-solidifying Skill, and he was defeated by you. His combat capability is at the level of a Six-tribulation Lord of Heaven. He is nothing to worry about. He might even be able to make trouble for the Yu Family!” Wang She shook his head at the idea. “Now, let’s plan what to do in the Thunder Emperor’s palace!”

“The Thunder Emperor’s palace is very important, but now I am in league with Administrator Zhang. We have the advantage of position and support. When the Thunder Emperor’s palace shows up, we’ll act according to circumstances!”

“That’s what worries me the most. You are working closely with Administrator Zhang, but is he reliable? If this guy betrays us, we can’t go on. His subordinates are so powerful, damn it. He alone is enough to conquer the entire Seven-deity Regions and beat down the so-called super sects. Can you guarantee that he won’t cheat us?”

“He made a Great Vow of the Heart Demon. He won’t dare to play tricks in the dark, unless the Great Vow of the Heart Demon can be broken!” Zhou Bao answered lightly. He looked at the Child-endowing Buddha, as if to ask if the Great Vow of the Heart Demon could be broken.

“Then we don’t have to worry!” The Child-endowing Buddha could not think of a way to break the Great Vow of the Heart Demon. “But we can never let down our guard. The Grand Demons of the Sea Area are all strange and unpredictable, and the Thunder Emperor’s palace and the Pool of Thunder Tribulation are by no means insignificant. I think even the Sea Emperor will be alarmed. So even though Administrator Zhang has a high status in the Sea Area, we can’t depend on him completely!”

“I agree!” Zhou Bao nodded. He wasn’t totally dependent on Administrator Zhang, and he had never tried to be. His plan was simple and straightforward. As soon as he found any traces of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation in the Thunder Emperor’s palace, he was going to take it with his Supreme Fairy Weapon, and then leave. This could potentially bring great disaster to the Heaven Realm due to the close contact of the two macro worlds. However, Zhou Bao believed that as long as he handled it well, the disaster could be kept to a minimum. Once in possession of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, he could use several of the Supreme Fairy Weapon’s functions. By then even the Sea Emperor would not scare him.

After measuring his gains and losses, Zhou Bao knew he had to get the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. He could not let anyone else get their hands on it. Whoever dared to prevent him from getting the Pool of Thunder Tribulation was his enemy, and he would not hesitate to kill them.

It was a very clear day with no clouds in the sky.

Such fine weather was rare on the Desolate Island. However, it was completely destroyed by a pale grey film between heaven and earth.

This layer of film was the barrier of the Celestial Demon Octo-formation.

Zhou Bao had destroyed it with his hammer before, but Administrator Zhang soon repaired it.

After all, the Thunder Emperor’s palace was important. Although the territorial division of the Sea Area was strict with its own rules, it could not be ruled out that someone was playing tricks. Besides, it was likely that the palace contained more than just the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. As a Great Ancient Emperor and one of the most powerful Great Emperors, he had to have fairy weapons.

Although it was only a palace, there were probably at least one or two fairy weapons. And they would not be low-level fairy weapons. There could even be Heavenly Fairy Weapons.

Of course, this would only happen if they were fortunate. In fact, even if there were Heavenly Fairy Weapons, they would not be able to launch them. Even if they got them, they could not take them away.

Therefore, Administrator Zhang was careful. He was worried that someone would play tricks on him and he would be in trouble.

He was already very upset. Although Zhou Bao had not completely absorbed his Icy Divine Light in his Self-world, he had only a little bit left, resulting in a great decline in his strength. Though he very much wanted the treasure in the Thunder Emperor’s palace, he was no longer sure of winning it. His only hope was that Zhou Bao, who was a plague to him, would hurry away and that he could finish the business of the Thunder Emperor’s palace as soon as possible. He was feeling a little overwhelmed. He could not bear any more trouble. So he was very cautious, trying to nip any incongruity in the bud.

“BOOM!”

An earth-shattering bang rang throughout the Desolate Island.

The loud bang echoed like thunder across the island in an instant.

And after this thunderous sound, the Celestial Demon Octo-formation which covered the entire island completely collapsed.

“No!” Zhou Bao had been doing self-cultivation in Young Master An’s Crystal Palace, when all the people in the Crystal Palace started paying attention to the situation on the Desolate Island. They gathered in front of a small Transmitting Formation in the palace. It could transmit people directly to the Desolate Island without breaking the island’s barrier.

But ironically, by the time people arrived, it had been completely destroyed by a mysterious force.

“That’s too bad. The Celestial Demon Octo-formation collapsed, and so did the Transmitting Formation inside the Desolate Island. The Transmitting Formation here won’t work!” The blue octopus’s gaze flickered over everyone present. Then, with a flash, he took the lead to break through space and ran straight to the Desolate Island.

Naturally the Lords of Heaven and Venerables from the Crystal Palace did not dare to slight him but followed close behind. They were all sullen. The destruction of their carefully arranged Celestial Demon Octo-formation suggested that they had no power to prevent others from entering the Desolate Island.

“This is really a bad start! Looks like there’s going to be trouble ahead!” With a sigh, Zhou Bao also broke through the hollow and entered the undefended Desolate Island.
