Chapter 480: The Jade Plate of Fate
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In the Azure Secret Area, the crazy battle has ended. It ended so abruptly and came out unexpected.
Even Zhou Bao did not expect things to end so soon.
The Real Body of Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan was bigger and scarier than he thought. Truth to be told, he knew that inside the body was the effort of the Real Body of Demonic Ape Zhuyan and also the stored up powers of the Innate Deity.
As what Yu Taicang had said, his body was unable to effectively digest the powers in the skeleton of the Innate Deity. These powers are sunk deep in his body and were slowly giving him strength. However, it is his body that was unable to process the powers. His Real Body of Zhuyan was able to. Demonic Ape Zhuyan was a Primordial Fierce Beast after all. Their ancestors were created out of chaos, just like Innate Deity and Primordial Demon. They are almost the same in terms of strength. Furthermore, Zhuyan itself had the ability to engulf the essence of the world and turn them into power. While Zhou Bao’s body was united with the Real Body, he captured the stored energy of the Innate Deity from his body by instinct. This was the exact power that allowed Zhou Bao’s Real Body to be completely matured and grown, hence possessing unbeatable power from the start.
While Yu Taicang may be an expert of Lord of Heaven Realm, compared to a Primordial Fierce Beast, there was still a huge gap. If there was no power from the skeleton of Innate Deity, he could have still withheld for a while by relying solely on Zhou Bao’s Real Body of Zhuyan. However, after Zhou Bao was pressured by Yu Taicang and united his Real Body with his body, he entered the Mysterious Realm and activated the power of Innate Deity in his body. Then, both their strength were pulled to a next level.
Truth to be told, Zhou Bao had a similar feeling when he entered the Mysterious Realm. That is, his power was increasing by multifold, and there was something hot flowing from his body into his Real Body. The latter was getting gigantic and strong, with powers increasing non-stop.
When it reached an extreme, Zhou Bao felt that his power had defeated all things of threat to him, including Fairy Weapons.
In such a situation, he stretched out his hands without hesitation and killed his enemies with one and aimed for the Time-fixing Plate with another.
Actually, even though he was aiming for the Time-fixing Plate, he did not know what he was going to do.
Coincidentally, at the moment when he was completely in the Mysterious Realm, the copy of Golden Book of Fate that he had snatched away, was completely infused with the Origin of the Great Ways in Azure Secret Area. The union was evolving non-stop. The Origin of the Great Ways has already been refined by Zhou Bao. It was connected to him mentally. This connection caused Zhou Bao to be in a strange situation and evolve together with the union. At this moment, Zhou Bao was the Origin of the Great Ways, and the Origin of the Great Ways was Zhou Bao. The Origin of the Great Ways was in control of the Way of Heaven, Great Ways, and everything else in Azure Secret Area. What is beneficial, what is best and what to do at this point in time?
These were all called fixed factors in the unseen world, and have to go through Zhou Bao.
And in the big and small worlds, these fixed factors of the unseen world have to be paired with the power of Great Ways to influence those that know they are alive. The fixed factors will slowly guide them to help themselves accomplish. It was nowhere fast and furious like now.
This ‘fast and furious’ was reflected in another meaning. At this short instant, Zhou Bao was Way of Heaven, and Way of Heaven was Zhou Bao. Zhou Bao had telepathic connection to the fixed factors of Way of Heaven, and Way of Heaven had telepathic connection to everything Zhou Bao had.
When Zhou Bao’s Real Body grabbed onto the Time-fixing Plate, the space in the top of his head shooked violently and a gateway appeared.
Once the door appeared, a huge amount of grey spirit gushed out through the small spatial crack Zhou Bao caused in the hollow.
Bang!
A loud bang was heard. Zhou Bao gave a tight slap. This slap was not purely his own strength, but also the strength of the Real Body of Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, as well as the strength of the Way of Heaven in the whole of Azure Secret Area. The power of the slap represented the wish of the whole Azure Secret Area, it represented the fixed factor of a world!
Even though the Time-fixing Plate was a Fairy Weapon, it shattered into pieces as a result of the slap.
Yes, shattered into pieces!
It was not a part of this world to begin with, but because it had such strong powers, it was able to stop the time of this world. Its powers were incompatible with this world. From the Azure Secret Area’s point of view, it was like a fishbone on the neck waiting to be gotten rid of.
Fairy Weapons were strong, but they cannot be compared with the strength of a world. Hence, this slap from Zhou Bao represented the slap from all the fixed factors of this world. Hence, Time-fixing Plate shattered into pieces.
Right after it was destroyed, the time in Azure Secret Area started moving again. The evil beasts and Demonic Immortals all regained their freedom. Also, the three to four Venerable Realm Genuine Immortal that survived in the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, as well as the Yu family, were all free to move again.
By right, at this point in time, the Venerable would either fight till death or spread the news if they spot that something was amiss. However, the problem now was that they have recovered from a stop in time, not a spell to restrict their body movement. Hence, they did not witness anything that happened just now. To them, what happened just now did not happen.
This bunch of poor fellas. In their memory, they were fighting against the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, the Demonic Immortals from Azure Secret Area. The evil beasts were still fighting and were on the losing end. When they were just about to be defeated, the war situation suddenly changed drastically.
The Yin and Yang Dust Formation suddenly disappeared and the space was shattered. A crazy pressing pressure came sweeping from the skies with such fierce Qi power, that they were restrained and could not even lift up their heads.
Under such huge pressure, under this fierce aura, they could not even gather the thought to move their fingers, let alone transmit a message. Their thoughts were almost frozen, how are they supposed to send messages!
They remained like this until their thoughts disappeared.
The Origin of the Great Ways and the Golden Book of Fate were still evolving. The gateway was also getting bigger. In the endless hollow, the stagnant spatial crack started to move. It tore the space and the hollow started to shatter. It was just like how a huge tree was being pulled from the earth slowly, bringing along endless dirt and dust.
In another hollow, the Azure Heaven that had close connections with the present world started to move too. The passageways that linked to the present world disappeared in the whole tearing process. All passageways were now all shut.
At the same time, in Jade Pool, Bigwheel Temple, Mingyi School, Dark Sect, and Zhou Bao’s Wuyang Region, six to seven Pure Yang Celestial Devices started to give out a cry. This type of loud cry alarmed the guards and the sects.
In the yard of Wuyang Region, a Pure Yang Celestial Device, the Gate of All Manifestations, started to shake violently in a huge underground space. Afterward, its light dimmed. On the blue and white door, fine prints and evidence of it being broken before started to appear. This also happened in the other sects. The Pure Yang Celestial Devices that were tied with the Azure Secret Area all had strange changes. Space passages were all cut off almost at the same time. The Pure Yang Celestial Devices tied to them were severely affected.
“What, what happened?”
…
In just a short while, all the sects started to get chaotic. Nobody knew what was happening. The bunch of Living Buddhas from Bigwheel Temple who were having a talk with the ambassadors of Divine Wind Palace had stiff expressions.
When some monks of lower ranks came and report the matter to them, saying that the passageways to Azure Secret Area had been closed, their expression towards the ambassadors were turning horrible, as if they want to eat them alive.
The so-called Old Human Spirit and Ghostly Old Soul are all Living Buddhas who have lived for so many years. They were still able to think fast. In just a short moment, they guessed what had happened. They guessed that this thing had something to do with Divine Wind Palace, and also guessed what they were doing.
This is a backstab, an obvious backstab!
While discussing issues together with the Living Buddhas, they secretly sent people to enter the Azure Secret Area and take over the place. Were they not playing a fool with Bigwheel Temple? Were they not making things difficult for Bigwheel Temple?
On top of that, the representative from Divine Wind Palace was of a high rank. Since he knew about the plan and the interconnectedness between the two parties through the passageways, he assumed that the plan was successful. He was smiling to himself inside, while maintaining a fixed posture on the outside. However, he could not escape the spiritual mind of the Living Buddhas. Now, the Bigwheel Temple was furious, especially Child-endowing Buddha. He was on his feet and just about to have a fight. If he was not pulled back in time there and then, he would have gone full force. Even though the fight did not take place, this knot was tied for sure.
What everyone did not know was that at the same time, in the endless hollow, the two individual spaces were starting to infuse together. A big change was brewing.
While the two chaotic spaces were infusing, a gigantic ape was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, staring at the shining Jade Plate carved out of Jade Colored Glaze. It slowly squinted its monkey eyes and smiled, “From now on, I’ll call you Jade Plate of Fate!”
