Chapter 497: Divine Tribulation Strikes
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
After he was done, Zhou Bao was exhausted as all his energy had been depleted. This time round, he had made up his mind to spit out all the kindling of Dragon Chimera Fire and infuse it into the incarnation of Dragon Chimera.
This Demonic Fire Seed had been with him for close to 10 years and they were now practically one body. It was without doubt the most indispensable part of his body. Usually, it would impossible to separate them totally. If separation was done forcibly, Zhou Bao’s pneuma would be affected, and his body would be injured.
His body had already merged with the Real Body of Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, just like the Primordial Fierce Beast. Both had their advantages. Dragon Chimera’s incarnation was Second Primordial Spirit and had been dispersed. Zhou Bao’s body was then infused with Real Body of Zhuyan. Hence, in his body, Zhuyan’s bloodline would naturally be at an advantage. Zhou Bao could not bear to part with the Demonic Fire of Dragon Chimera as it was useful. Who knew it would lead to such a huge commotion.
He did not think that the superiority of Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan’s bloodline would cause the already-rooted Dragon Chimera Fire in his body to infuse completely with the Real Essence and Dharma power. The one-body Demonic Fire Real Essence had a crack and there were hidden dangers planted in it. This time, he did a closed-door training to explore the Dragon Flame Technique. All at once, the hidden dangers were exposed. If it were not for Second Primordial Spirit’s speedy return, Zhou Bao might have died.
This was why he had set his mind on using the Demonic Fire of Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan stored in his body. In one breath, he spat out Dragon Chimera Fire along with the kindling. It rushed into the Outer-body Incarnation of Second Primordial Spirit.
He regretted it immediately.
It had happened too fast and he did not realize that the kindling had already taken root in his Dantian. They were very closely connected. He almost spat out his whole Dantian and it nearly tore his body apart. His facial muscles were twitching from the pain and he was close to cursing and swearing.
All of his energy was absorbed from him in a flash. Across from him, the Dark Female Pearl that relied on the Second Primordial Spirit attained a huge boost in energy. It started to spit out black fire light, surging and changing with the power.
“Psst!” All of a sudden, Zhou Bao took in a cold deep breath. A chilling immense power flowed out from his nine acupoints. It filled up his dried-up tendons and meridians.
“Golden Real Essence Energy?”
Zhou Bao was shocked when he felt the Real Essence flowing from his gigantic Dantian into his body. This essence had been stored in his Dantian after he absorbed the remains of Innate Deity in Taiyuan Heaven. It had turned into a golden-yellow solid mass.
He knew that this mysterious power stored in his body had an infallible power. However, he did not have any chance to utilize it until today. When he completely ejected the Dragon Chimera Fire in his body, the tendons and meridians had dried up as well. The golden power could finally be utilized. It co-worked with the Demonic Qi in Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan. Slowly, they seeped into his tendons and meridians.
Of course, the Real Essence that flowed out was an extremely small portion of the whole thing – it was merely a trickle. After infusing into Zhuyan’s Demonic Qi, the Demonic Qi of Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan also turned golden-yellow. It started to repair the broken Dantian, tendons and meridians. It also replaced the original Real Essence of Dragon Chimera Fire. However, at this moment, Zhou Bao was having a hard time.
After spitting out the Demonic Qi of Dragon Chimera Fire, Zhou Bao felt like his body was coming apart. His body and essence were not affected, but his tendons, meridians and Dantian had been severely hit. This time round, the golden-yellow demonic spirit started to restore them. Although it was beneficial to him, it felt like someone was pouring salt water on his wounds. It was a good but painful healing process.
The pain he felt was twice as painful as that of pouring salt water on a wound.
“Ouch, ouch, I shouldn’t have been so eager, I did it too hurriedly!” Zhou Bao scolded himself inside his heart. Although it was said that men should be harsh on themselves, sometimes being too harsh can lead to misunderstandings.
Luckily his nerves were already well trained; if not he would have been screaming in pain by now.
On the other hand, after his body attained the kindling, it started to undergo strange changes.
“No way, so much pain?”
Zhou Bao had many painful thoughts. It was hidden in the unstable rays of the black fire light of Dark Female Pearl. It was obscure. Complex thoughts ran through Zhou Bao’s senses. Dragon Chimera’s shadow gradually condensed.
At the same time, in Wuyang Region in the northwest, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky of Jilei Mountain. The clouds were surging and were so low, they looked as if they could touch the earth. Lightning flashed everywhere and muffled rumblings of thunder could be heard.
This dark cloud and thunderbolt did not appear to be anything special to ordinary people. However, to Zhou Bao’s ears, it came as a very violent shock.
A weird feeling traveled from his heart to his body and also to the Dragon Chimera’s incarnation. At that moment, he recalled what Green Spirit had said to him when he was in Taiyuan Heaven.
This golden-yellow power he felt was actually a Dharma power. He would be alright if he did not touch it. Once he did, a Divine Tribulation would be set off. However, he had forcefully suppressed this extreme power earlier on. For every strand of Golden Dharma Power that seeped in, he had infused it with Zhuyan’s Demonic Qi. He had also used Zhuyan’s Natal Power to turn the power into energy to strengthen the body. He thought that was it, but now, as the thunder sounded in the sky, the hairs on his arms stood up and chills traveled up and down his spine. This effect could not have been caused by any ordinary being.
“No, this Thunder Tribulation seems like it’s not aiming for me, but the incarnation of Dragon Chimera!” Suddenly, Zhou Bao realized something. His gaze instantly gathered on the incarnation. At this moment, the Dark Female Peal was completely enveloped by the shadow of Dragon Chimera. The Dragon Chimera gradually became more concentrated, the whole body exuding a vast and indistinct smell.
“No, my incarnation cannot go through Divine Tribulation here. If someone should sense it, I’ll be in deep trouble!”
His Second Primordial Spirit, Outer-body Incarnation, was still a secret. It was not in the Golden Book of Fate yet. If it suddenly underwent Divine Tribulation, while unknown to ordinary people, the guys in the other four sects, as well as the Divine Wind Palace, would definitely know. If they find out, they might just expose his little secret in front of all the mighty ones.
That was not what he wanted.
With this in mind, the Dark Female Pearl shook violently and shot out a mysterious green light. It then shredded a hole in the space. When it repeated the action, it was already in a deep area on Misty Mountain, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away. At the same time, Zhou Bao’s real body appeared at the same place.
Along with the duo’s appearance, the originally clear sky started to undergo weird changes. A faint layer of cloud appeared. In half a breath, these clouds gathered to form a big dark cloud that spread across the whole sky. In another half a breath, the clouds grew thicker and lightning flashed in the clouds.
“Damn, the Almighty is indeed great! What a fast change of mood,” Zhou Bao thought to himself. While he did that, dark clouds had already gathered into a vortex. A thunderbolt shot down from the sky.
Zhou Bao’s eyes narrowed slightly. He did not move at all. The Dark Female Pearl seemed to sense something. It did not even budge but went straight to the thunderbolt.
“Boom!” The thunderbolt struck the pearl. There was no reaction. A cloud of black fire cloud emerged from the pearl and captured the second thunderbolt.
Boom, Boom, Boom!
As time passed, the vortex grew bigger and bigger. More and more thunderbolts dropped from the cloud. It was as if it was raining thunderbolts.
However, all the strikes did not affect the Dark Female Pearl. It spat out a ball of black fire light which formed a secure protection for itself as the thunderbolts kept striking continuously. As soon as the thunderbolts landed on the fire cloud, they were absorbed into its midst.
The fire cloud had by now engulfed a huge amount of thunderbolts. In a moment, the shadow of Dragon Chimera, which was in the black ball, was seen surging, struggling and becoming more active.
Zhou Bao, who had been standing at the side, felt the same. However, he could only stare in disbelief. The one who went through Thunder Tribulation was his Second Primordial Spirit, but his own body was also undergoing the same experience. He initially thought that it would be a difficult task and the chances of dying would be high. Who knew that it would be so easy? It was not only easy but the thunderbolts were actually beneficial to Dragon Chimera.
As the Demonic Fire absorbed more thunderbolts, Zhou Bao felt an obvious surge in the intelligence of the Demonic Fire. It automatically turned into a black net, completely formed by fire light, and aimed for the tribulation clouds. In a few moments, it managed to capture all the thunderbolts and the thunder stopped.
The big black net turned into a fire cloud at the same time. The cloud shrank gradually. Suddenly, a shadow of Dragon Chimera emerged from the Dark Female Pearl and swallowed the fire cloud in one gulp.
After that, the Dark Female Pearl quivered, turned into a green light and entered the body of Dragon Chimera. The shadow of Dragon Chimera was turned into a dark cloud. After surging for a while, it turned into a black-clothed man. It was Zhou Bao’s Outer-body Incarnation.
However, this time around, when the incarnation appeared, Zhou Bao felt something strange.
Practicing the Second Primordial Spirit Outer-body Incarnation Skill had been passed down from olden times. It was originally a backup plan to be used as a method to escape from the control of Golden Book of Fate. It was not hard to practice. One would need to find a treasure to keep a part of the primordial spirit. By refining it daily, the heart and mind would be connected and eventually, the Real Body Dharma Laksana would be formed.
