“Bastard, bastard, bastard!”

Emperor Hulong swore at Zhou Bao repeatedly in his mind. The combat capability of this kid was a bit too strong, and he did not save him any face.

The purple bamboo stick was tangling with the golden spear. These two finally met their match in a contest.

This kind of situation was nothing to Zhou Bao, while Emperor Hulong felt that he was already severely humiliated. He, an Earthly Immortal, was dueling with a Human Immortal. But after battling for so long, he had lost a Taihao Fairy Weapon and still was tied with the opponent. Above all, he even cast out his Second Primordial Spirit, but still did not get the upper hand. Could he be more disgraced than this? Was there anything more embarrassing than this?

No, there was not.

Being dragged into an arduous battle by a Human Immortal!

Earthly Immortals of the Holy Alliance had never been so embarrassed like this!

Up to now, Emperor Hulong had fully realized that it was impossible to defeat this devil-like Human Immortal before him with normal methods. To fight a quick battle, he had to employ thunderbolt skills and perform his ace cards.

However, though his ace cards were highly powerful, if he used them to take on a Human Immortal, it would look like that he used a sledgehammer on a gnat. On top of it all, now that this battle had drawn a lot of attention, more and more Earthly Immortals’ divine thoughts had projected to this place, once he used those powerful Divine Senses, he would expose his ace cards to the public, which was very detrimental to him.

Therefore, he hesitated for a moment.

Combats between masters of martial arts always depended on momentary opportunities. Hesitating at this point actually gave the other side a great opportunity. Zhou Bao was an experienced expert on close quarter combats, so he certainly would not let this great opportunity slip by. The purple bamboo stick wagged a little and then pointed into the gap where the golden spear was not protecting as Emperor Hulong was hesitating for a second.

A jet of sharp Sword Qi shot out, hit Emperor Hulong’s left eye straightaway.

“Ah!”

Emperor Hulong let out a howl in shock. This Sword Qi shot right into his left eye. Despite the fact that he was an Earthly Immortal, facing such sharp Sword Qi, he still failed to save his pupil.

He quickly backed off, clapping a hand on his left eye. Golden blood trickled down through the gaps of his fingers, while the Sword Qi as sharp as a knife were frantically destroy all the vigor of his left eye.

“No!”

He snarled, lifted his right hand abruptly. A stream of wild power flooded out from his body.

“Crap!”

Zhou Bao knew he had pushed the Earthly Immortal too hard. He had disgraced this Earthly Immortal so severely that this guy had nothing to lose now.

After being hit by Zhou Bao so unexpectedly, Emperor Hulong really had nothing to lose now. Golden bangles soared out from his body and assembled over his head.

“What’s that? Interlocked bangles?” Staring at these golden bangles, Zhou Bao obviously went petrified for a second. These were, of course, not just interlocked bangles. They formed a large formation over the head of Emperor, which looked like a Taihao Fairy Weapon, but the pressure it sent forth was much overwhelming than ordinary Taihao Fairy Weapons or even Upper Graded Taihao Fairy Weapon.

“Is this a Heavenly Fairy Weapon?” Zhou Bao thought, a little alarmed by this scenario.

But after a few seconds, his vigilance turned into confusion.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

When the bangles assembled, Zhou Bao finally realized that they were not golden bangles at all. They were golden gears, holding on each other like an inside structure of a huge machine, which looked quite eerie.

Then, a bit horror was added to Zhou Bao’s astonishment, because the huge machine suspending in midair started to function.

“Rumbling, rumbling, rumbling—”

The noise it made sounded just like the sound of the most ancient steam engine. As this huge machine was running, Zhou Bao found it helplessly that the nearby spacetime slipped into the control range of this ancient steam engine, everything in this spacetime was pulled towards the functioning huge gears other than Emperor Hulong himself.

Zhou Bao and his two primordial spirits were no exception.

“Brat, how dare you cost one of my eyes! You cost an eye of mine, I’ll have your body smashed to pieces! Don’t even consider fleeing, because there is no way you can escape. Let’s just enjoy this!” Emperor Hulong burst into a fit of wild laughter, as if Zhou Bao had already become the meat on his cutting board.

“What fu*king fairy weapon it is? How could it be so brutal!”

Zhou Bao cursed in his mind.

Brutal, this was really brutal.

Zhou Bao already felt the power of this machine. In this spacetime controlled by it, no divine thoughts could flee out, let alone one’s body. The divine thoughts sent by Earthly Immortals from various spacetimes just now were all ripped into pieces by this harsh machine. Since the divine thoughts of Earthly Immortals ended like this, how about one’s body?

Well, one’s flesh naturally could not tear up the space and escape from being shredded by this machine.

Everything in surrounding space combined into one and was fed to the machine.

There was no chance to escape.

“Rumbling, rumbling, rumbling—”

The machine roared, gradually pulled Zhou Bao over from afar. Now, like a fish can stuck to a transmission band, Zhou Bao was carried into that machine motionlessly, waiting to be ground.

“Is this some space freezing technique?”

Being an expert on the Great Way of Heavens and Realms, Zhou Bao quickly found the root of his forced motionlessness.

The space had been frozen. Of course, not simply being frozen. in fact, when these golden gears appeared, the whole space was combined into one with that huge machine. Even if Zhou Bao performed the Infinite Realms Teleportation, he would still teleport himself into these big gears and be ground due to the weird spatial rules here.

“You jerkass, dare to force me to employ my Celestial Punishment Palace. Brat, I’ll let you know the consequence of pissing off me, Emperor Hulong! I’ll crush your bones and grind your spirit, make you a nutrient for my Celestial Punishment Palace!”

Emperor Hulong growled with fury. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao discovered that there was a vague giant figure standing over the Celestial Punishment Palace.

“Is this an Incomplete Heavenly Fairy Weapon?” Zhou Bao thought, his heart pounded.

It dawned on him that this Celestial Punishment Palace was an Upper Graded Taihao Fairy Weapon, powerful enough to breed the device spirit. But the device spirit had just taken shape, if it had a bit more time, it would certainly become a Heavenly Fairy Weapon.

That meant, at present, it was not a Heavenly Fairy Weapon. This guy played some trick and let the Celestial Punishment Palace displayed a more intimidating power than a normal Celestial Punishment Palace.

Zhou Bao’s Furnace of Immortality was a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, but he did not think this Furnace of Immortality could handle the Celestial Punishment Palace. The material of the Celestial Punishment Palace was very strange, and there were some mysterious talismans on the golden gears. It was exactly these talismans that merged the Celestial Punishment Palace and the surrounding space and made it highly firm, almost impossible to break up. Zhou Bao believed that even if he launched his Furnace of Immortality to attack the Celestial Punishment Palace, it would make no difference.

“Er, the Celestial Punishment Palace! No, this is not the Celestial Punishment Palace, it’s just a replica!”

When Zhou Bao was about to stake everything on the last attempt and launch the Black Pearl so as to break this eccentric fairy weapon, Ghost Child sensed something and stuck out his head from the red gourd. “Surely it’s a replica. If it were a real one, I would not have been able to rise up. If so, I would have been shredded by the Celestial Punishment Palace!” Ghost Child laughed.

A replica! With the power close to that of a Heavenly Fairy Weapon! Then, what about the real one? How powerful could it be on earth?

This thought fleeted across Zhou Bao’s mind. Then, he asked, “You know what it is, so you must also know the way to break it, right?”

“Of course, if it were a real Celestial Punishment Palace, it would be a bit tricky. Well, now, it’s just a fake one!” Ghost Child said with confidence. “See that device spirit? It hasn’t matured yet, so it’s still tightly attached to the Celestial Punishment Palace. If you destroy it, this Celestial Punishment Palace will basically be ruined!”

“I see!” In a flash of inspiration, Zhou Bao suddenly understood what he should do.

For a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, what was its scariest feature?

Of course it was the device spirit!

Without the device spirit, it could only be called as a Taihao Fairy Weapon. Only when a weapon had a device spirit could it be qualified to be a Heavenly Fairy Weapon and perform its greatest power. Thus, normally, when a man was dealing with a Heavenly Fairy Weapon, he would never be so stupid to upset its device spirit. However, this Celestial Punishment Palace was different. Its device spirit had not fully grown up. Though it already had the body of the Steel Giant, it did not possess any spiritual intelligence, which was precisely the vulnerable spot of this Incomplete Heavenly Fairy Weapon.

“Boy, you’d better heed this. Though I don’t know the background of this guy, considering that he successfully created a replica of the Celestial Punishment Palace, it’s highly possible that he has obtained the producing method of this fairy weapon. If you kill him, you can take away this producing method or this replica together. Hee, hee, three devices of Heavenly Punishment—Celestial Punishment Palace, Immortal-decapitating Stand, and Deity-constraining Prison. These three devices were released to the public from the Sacred City of Fate when the Heavenly Court was just established. Later, they fell to the hand of Sage Tianfa, and then were passed down to his disciple Emperor Xingtian. This is how he got this title. Since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, Emperor Xingtian had taken control of all the heavenly punishment and enjoyed great prestige. Although his ranking does not belong to the top five, no one dare to belittle him. Further, with the three Heavenly Punishment Devices at hand, even if he bumps into a man with a Supreme Fairy Weapon, he is still able to put up a fight.”

“It’s a pity that this is merely a replica!” After hearing Ghost Child’s account, Zhou Bao knew where to draw the line. Following Ghost Child’s directions, he wriggled forward and crossed the strongly fortified space. With a quick shift, he appeared in front of the Steel Giant. The purple bamboo stick in his hand was shining in a vicious purple, which directly pointed at the waist of that Steel Giant and stabbed out.

“No way!” Gazing at this scenario in total shock, Emperor Hulong was stupefied.
