Chapter 460: Breaking the Formation

Boom…

The blue torrent ferociously attacked the transparent egg-shaped canopy, and with that, a stream of tremendous power came pouring down; it seemed as if the whole seabed was rocking violently.

A thudding sound could be heard from the seabed and the transparent egg-shaped canopy sunk.

It was like a spile that had been erected on the ground, but due to being hit by a great force, a part of it became embedded in the earth.

The transparent egg-shaped canopy suddenly dipped.

Rolling Dragon Palace had suffered heavy attacks. Although it was protected by the egg-shaped canopy, it could not hold up to the tremendous power anymore. Slowly, it started to sink. The blue vortex became larger and within a few seconds, its diameter had already exceeded 50 miles. It rotated at a decreasing speed and the blue crystals inside it continuously increased. At last, it froze and formed a huge vortex-shaped icicle, which then hit the transparent egg-shaped canopy with all its might. Everything came to a standstill.

The raging pneuma of the earth vein stopped and the egg-shaped canopy became motionless. The huge icicle became still as well.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

An unpleasant grating sound burst out and the icicle moved a little. Soon, the surface of the egg-shaped canopy began to ripple. Some thin and imperceptible cracks appeared on the top of the egg-shaped canopy.

Gradually, these cracks grew bigger, longer, and deeper.

Creak, creak, creak…

The further the icicle sunk, the deeper the cracks on the egg-shaped canopy became. Finally, the canopy could no longer bear the force of the tremendous power wrought by the icicle. It had reached its limitation and the cracks suddenly expanded.

With a crash, the canopy collapsed instantly under the heavy pressure.

“Hiss!”

Watching this scene, everyone present gasped. None of them had expected the egg-shaped canopy that had rendered them helpless to be so easily destroyed.

Everything had happened so unexpectedly. Those two Lords of Heaven looked at each other speechlessly, not knowing what to do next, even though they already realized what had just happened.

“Is he the mysterious man named Qiu Hai? What’s his background? How can he be that powerful? Not only does he know secret skills such as Infinite Realms Teleportation, but he is also capable of destroying the protective formation of Rolling Dragon Palace which we could not find a way to break. Is he the enemy of Rolling Dragon King who intends to kill him with our help?” Lord of Heaven Beicang asked in total confusion.

“Don’t think too much. Both of us are the enemies of Rolling Dragon King. We’ll seek revenge against Rolling Dragon King even without his help. Therefore, it’s far from taking advantage of us. We can benefit from what he did as well. Now, since the defensive formation of Rolling Dragon Palace has been destroyed, we’d better attack the palace quickly. Haha, we’ll attack Rolling Dragon King while his defenses are down. I guess he has never thought that his defensive formation will be destroyed so easily. This is our opportunity!”

“Right. Who cares about his background? As long as he’s the enemy of Rolling Dragon King, we’re friends of the same side. We don’t need to bother about his origin and purpose. What we need to do now is to seek revenge!” Lord of Heaven Beicang seemed to realize this fact belatedly. Without hesitation, he summoned his subordinates and started a violent attack on Rolling Dragon Palace.

Pop, pop, pop…

After the 49 loud pops had burst, those 49 formation flags could not withstand the pressure of the earth vein anymore and exploded. They all turned into ashes, scattering about onto the surrounding currents.

Their mission was over.

Under the pressure of the terrifying icicle, Rolling Dragon Palace’s defensive system was completely destroyed.

“Roar—!”

A loud roar of shock and anger sounded from Rolling Dragon Palace. Anger was spilling out from the voice.

“Who? Who did this?” This roar together with the unparalleled coercion echoed throughout the sea. It was a purely spiritual coercion that was exerted by a high-level living creature to a low-level one.

Due to the coercion, half of the Venerables attacking Rolling Dragon Palace lost their fighting capacity. A kind of fear had seeped into their hearts and suppressed their skills, causing them to lose their strength and they were unable to fight back.

“Eight-tribulation True Immortal?”

Lord of Heaven Beicang and Lord of Heaven Jiangchuan looked at each other in fear. “Isn’t Rolling Dragon King a Seven-tribulation True Immortal? How did he suddenly pass through the eighth Thunder Tribulation?”

Passing the Thunder Tribulation was not easy. The Thunder Tribulation that Genuine Immortals had to pass through would get more violent each time, especially after he reached the Lord of Heaven Realm. The tribulation would be extremely hard to pass and it was an earth-shaking affair. The sixth Thunder Tribulation was called Six Directions Thunder Tribulation, the seventh one was named Evil Thunder Tribulation, the eighth one was Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder Tribulation, and the ninth one was Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Tribulation. These were the last four Thunder Tribulations and also the most crucial stages when a Genuine Immortal was going to turn into a Human Immortal.

There were two main differences between Genuine Immortals at the Saint Realm and at the Venerable Realm, as well as Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm and at the Lord of Heaven Realm. In terms of human body, the more Thunder Tribulations one passed, the tougher his body would be. While in terms of Real Essence and Dharma power, the Divine Qi contained in every Thunder Tribulation was different.

Divine Qi was the collective name of spiritual qi in the world of immortals. While undergoing the first Thunder Tribulation, Metaphysic Individual Immortals’ body would be forged by thunder, and at the same time, he would feel Divine Qi, through which he purified his Real Essence. After that, Real Essence would turn into Dharma power with some amazing Divine Senses. Just like some spiritual creatures who had gifted powers from birth, Dharma power had Divine Senses too.

However, the Divine Senses one could acquire through the first Thunder Tribulation were not powerful and the quantity was limited. That was to say, the first Thunder Tribulation just enabled a person to possess ordinary Dharma power. As a person progressed, he would be able to feel more spiritual qi before the advent of the sixth Thunder Tribulation.

One could experience plenty of Divine Qi through the first five Thunder Tribulations, however, it was one of the most ordinary types of spiritual qi, the one like the Sacred Roots qi, which Zhou Bao’s wife, Yan Yunfei, was able to produce. It was the most ordinary and common spiritual qi in the world of immortals.

Since Zhou Bao had a wife who could produce the Sacred Roots qi, he was able to advance his Dharma power to the level that was equal to Five-tribulation True Immortals’ without having to pass any Thunder Tribulations, but that was it. His wife could not help him if he wanted to break through the Lord of Heaven Realm. The Divine Qi that Six Directions Thunder contained was better than spiritual qi. With the exception of the Six Directions Thunder, there were also Evil Thunder, Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder, and Nine Heavens Purple Thunder. The Divine Qi that every holy thunder contained was one level lower compared to the latter. While passing the sixth Thunder Tribulation, not only was your body required to suffer the attacks of thunderbolts that were five times stronger than the fifth Thunder Tribulation but it also needed to withstand the tear of Divine Qi that was more powerful than spiritual qi. The one who succeeded would be a Lord of Heaven, while the one who failed would die.

Therefore, since the sixth Thunder Tribulation, every Thunder Tribulation was a crucial point of life and death. Once you succeeded in passing it, your strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

It was just like Zhou Bao’s battle with the Four-tribulation True Immortal named Master Jin Hua when he was just at Level Nine. Relied on numerous lucky chances, he was able to fight against Master Jin Hua for some time. However, if he had encountered a Six-tribulation Lord of Heaven, he would have been sent flying by a single hit, and this was the gap between a Four-tribulation True Immortal and a Six-tribulation True Immortal.

Lord of Heaven Beicang and Lord of Heaven Jiangchuan were Six-tribulation True Immortals at the Lord of Heaven Realm. However, Rolling Dragon King was a Seven-tribulation True Immortal at that time. Therefore, they were defeated by him in those days. The gap between the Sixth Tribulation and the Seventh Tribulation was quite huge.

However, this gap could be narrowed if there were a large number of experts. Except for these two Six-tribulation True Immortals, there were hundreds of True Immortals of the Venerable Realm, whose numbers would be enough to tire out Rolling Dragon King and kill him. They could easily escape unscathed after destroying Rolling Dragon Palace and trying their best to destroy the effective strength of Rolling Dragon Palace, even if they failed to kill Rolling Dragon King. All these were based on the fact that Rolling Dragon King was a Seven-tribulation True Immortal, but now, he had unexpectedly achieved the level of an Eight-tribulation True Immortal.

“It’s impossible. He can’t be an Eight-tribulation True Immortal! If it’s true, the Five-dragon Regions should have come under his control!” Lord of Heaven Beicang was in a state of shock. Later, he seemed to recall something and spoke out loud, “If he’s an Eight-tribulation True Immortal, he should have subdued us for the first time rather than create such an uproar when we were escaping from the prison!”

“How about the Qi Power he just released?” Although Lord of Heaven Jiangchuan knew what Lord of Heaven Beicang said was true, the Qi Power emitted from Rolling Dragon Palace was quite terrifying. Moreover, the coercion and Qi Power were exactly the same as that of Eight-tribulation True Immortals.

“Humph. He must have used some unknown means to temporarily advance his strength to the level of Eight-tribulation True Immortals. It won’t last long!” Lord of Heaven Beicang’s eyes flickered. “We’d better drain his energy now. We may gain no merit, but we could avoid making mistakes. He cannot maintain this state all the time.”

“That’s the only thing we can do now!” Lord of Heaven Jiangchuan sighed gently. Although he was unwilling to fight against an Eight-tribulation True Immortal, since that being the case, he had no choice but to have a go at it. He hoped what Lord of Heaven Beicang said was right, otherwise, he would be in trouble.

While these two Lords of Heaven summoned hundreds of Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm to attack Rolling Dragon Palace, Zhou Bao swung into action as well.

However, this time, the one that sprang into action was his Second Primordial Spirit, the incarnation of the Dragon Chimera, rather than his body. The latter sheltered in the grey space and continued with its cultivation.

The reason he used the incarnation of the Dragon Chimera rather than his body was that, although his Real Body of Zhuyan had been successfully cultivated already, it was still in an unstable condition. Therefore, as he withdrew the Second Primordial Spirit, he entered into a strange state. Though he finally entered a wonderful state and achieved a Divine Sense similar to some restricted accesses, his two Real Bodies could not live in harmony.

Zhou Bao knew that was because his Real Body of Zhuyan had just formed and he had not fully studied the essence of it, therefore, he needed to do some closed-door training.

Furthermore, another important reason was that he had used the incarnation of the Dragon Chimera previously and felt there was nothing special about the Dragon Chimera Fire inside his body when the defensive formation of Rolling Dragon Palace was destroyed. Rolling Dragon King’s coercion was overwhelming. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao had not reached the Metaphysic Realm. Logically, he should be affected by it, however, he was not. He became so obsessed with it that he wanted to engulf it together with its master. Just at this time, Zhou Bao thought of one thing.

It was the Dragon Chimera!
