Omnipotent Sage

A beam of light rose from Desolate Island to the sky, connecting the sky with the earth. Were it not for the fact that it was too small, it would definitely be considered as the pillar supporting the sky.

It was a bright and thick beam of lightning. It was almost tangible rather than a pillar supporting the sky.

It had become a physical object!

This was the most surprising place.

When Zhou Bao and the others set foot on Desolate Island, they saw only the last flash of lightning. Soon after, the lightning turned into a cyan jade pillar which connected the heaven with earth.

A cyan pillar that looked like it was made of blue jade.

It was emanating a power that made people tremble. This power swept across the entire island.

Those with lower cultivations were unable to approach it at all.

Wang She and the Child-endowing Buddha were powerful enough to act recklessly in the Seven-deity Regions, but under the power of this cyan jade column, they didn’t look so good. Luckily, they had their own unique methods. They could still move forward on the island. If it were other Individual Immortals, they would have knelt down long ago.

There were indeed some people on the island who were kneeling down.

After the light column appeared, it shattered the Celestial Demon Octo-formation, exposing Desolate Island to everyone. Countless Demonic Immortals had gathered outside the island. Their lowest cultivations were at the Venerable Realm and more than 10 of them were Lords of Heaven. Like Zhou Bao and the others, they had all come for Thunder Emperor’s touring abode. Most of them had very high positions in the Sea Area; some of them were even Eight-tribulation Lords of Heaven and managed several Sea Areas like Administrator Zhang.

However, because they were afraid of the rules in the sea, they could not openly interfere in the matter related to the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode. Nevertheless, no one could prevent them from causing stunts in secret.

With their cultivations, it was quite easy for them to change their appearances and cover up their spirits. Although they could not come here with great fanfare, it was okay if they came alone. As long as they announced that they were going to do a closed-door training, no one knew what they were really doing. That was what Zhou Bao used to do.

Therefore, in a short period of time, myriads of Demonic Immortals gathered around Desolate Island. When they found the whole island had been blocked with the Celestial Demon Octo-formation, they all yelled and cursed. Even if they could break through the formation, given their strength, they would inevitably alert the guys who had set the formation. In this way, their whereabouts would be exposed. Hence, no one dared to take action.

Just when they were getting impatient, there was a sudden loud thunder in the sky, and the formation collapsed immediately. There was no way to resist the force at all.

They were overjoyed. Without thinking twice, they turned into innumerable rays of light and emerged from the sea surface or the seafloor and entered the island as soon as the formation collapsed.

Zhou Bao and the others stepped onto the island at the same time and discovered the unwelcome visitors. But none of them stopped the Demonic Immortals because they simply could not stop them.

“The water is getting muddy and now it’s muddier than ever!” Feeling the pressure from the rays of light, Zhou Bao sighed gently. It was right at this moment that he also felt a great pressure coming from the flashing thunder pillar.

“The Seven Evils Cyan Thunder, it’s the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder!” Standing in front of him, Administrator Zhang seemed to have discovered the nature of the thunder pillar and gasped with shock.

The Seven Evils Cyan Thunder!

Genuine Immortals, or in other words, Ghost Immortals, were divided into three major levels: Sages, Venerables, and Lords of Heaven.

After one had broken through the Mysterious Realm and undergone the first Thunder Tribulation, he would become a Sage. When one had passed through the second Thunder Tribulation, they were qualified to be called a Venerable. When a Venerable had undergone the fifth Thunder Tribulation, he would reach the peak of the Venerable Realm. After he had undergone the sixth Thunder Tribulation, he would then become a Lord of Heaven.

Different from the previous five Thunder Tribulations, after the sixth Thunder Tribulation, every Thunder Tribulation would be executed by powerful Heavenly Thunder. The sixth Thunder Tribulation was called Six Directions Red Thunder, and the seventh was the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder. The eighth was the Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder, and the ninth was known as the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder. After one had undergone the ninth Thunder Tribulation, he would become a Human Immortal.

Now, there was a cyan jade-like pillar supporting the sky in front of the crowd. It was a physical object entirely made of the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder.

What?! How could that be possible?

When they looked at the jade pillar, everyone’s eyes turned dull. An air of incredibility was revealed in their eyes.

How could that be?

Even when one was undergoing the seventh Thunder Tribulation, there would only be a few bolts of thunder coming down from the Immortal Realm. However, already more than 90 percent of the Lords of Heaven’s bodies were smashed to pieces.

But now, only God knew how many bolts of Seven Evils Cyan Thunder were in the thunder pillar in front of them and how powerful it was.

Perhaps even the power of the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder that one had to bear during the ninth Thunder Tribulation would still be no match for the tremendous power that this many bolts of Seven Evils Cyan Thunder possessed.

It was a fact, rather than something that would probably happen.

The Nine Heavens Purple Thunder, at most, only consisted of nine bolts of thunder. However, it was impossible to form this pillar without tens of thousands of bolts of Seven Evils Cyan Thunder.

Even Human Immortals would have their bodies smashed into pieces or even ashes by so many bolts of Seven Evils Cyan Thunder.

“I should go there first and see whether this is the TThunder Emperor’s touring abode or an attractive trap!” Everyone was affected by this tremendous coercion. Even Zhou Bao gasped secretly. However, no matter how terrified they were, they were obliged to do something. In any case, they wanted to go and see what was going on in the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode.

Obviously, there were quite a few people who had the same idea as Zhou Bao. Hundreds of rays of light rose from all directions of the island and gathered toward the column. Genuine Immortals at the Lord of Heaven Realm and the outstanding ones among the Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm were able to fly in the sky, despite the great pressure. With a wry smile, the Child-endowing Buddha and Wang She gave a hint to Zhou Bao, indicating that they were unable to do that.

Zhou Bao didn’t care.

He knew that he could not count on them as soon as the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar appeared. This pillar was only the first test of the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode. If they couldn’t withstand the coercion of the pillar, they would not be qualified to enter the abode.

“That’s ok, at least I won’t have to worry!” Zhou Bao sighed secretly and dashed straight toward the pillar.

The pillar was located in the northernmost part of the island. The island itself was extremely vast. Under the pressure of the pillar, no one dared to fly at top speed. As a result, it took quite a few seconds before anyone arrived at the pillar.

The closer one got to the pillar, the greater the pressure. Hundreds of people rose to the sky, but less than 50 people were able to reach the pillar. At this moment, aside from Zhou Bao, there were no Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm or Six-tribulation Lords of Heaven. Even Seven-tribulation Lords of Heaven were very rare. Those who were able to reach the pillar were almost all Eight-tribulation Lords of Heaven. Except for the several Lords of Heaven coming from the Seven-deity Regions, the rest of them were all suffused with Demonic Qi, but no one could recognize their true appearances.

That was because they had hidden their appearances in the heavy fog. Everyone was looking at the cyan jade pillars. They did not communicate with each other or even catch a fleeting glimpse of the others.

There were only two Lords of Heaven from the Four Eastern Regions together with Zhou Bao. One was Yu Taixu and the other was Feng IX from the Immortal Palace. Perhaps the other people could not bear the pressure here, and thus, did not come near.

“Feng IX is an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. It seems that the Immortal Palace has indeed hidden a lot of force. It simply cannot be underestimated!” Deep in his heart, Zhou Bao felt surprised. Apart from the two Eight-tribulation Lords of Heaven, obviously, there were many other people from the Three Western Regions. Just like the Four Eastern Regions, only two people Zhou Bao didn’t recognize could reach the cyan jade pillar. He could only tell that they came from the Three Western Regions because of their costumes and Highest Heaven Celestial Devices.

The others were all Demonic Immortals from the Sea Area. To Zhou Bao’s surprise, Young Master An also arrived at the pillar. Although he seemed to have done this with great effort, he finally reached it.

“Humph!” Administrator Zhang’s eyes swept over the crowd and he let out a heavy snort. Needless to say, these guys were all powerful Demonic Immortals and Administrators of the sea. However, unfortunately, they all had concealed their appearances. Otherwise, Administrator Zhang would have cursed them long ago.

Nonetheless, now was not the time to clash with these Lords of Heaven.

The pillar rose straight from the ground and pierced through the sky. No one knew whether it had ever crossed the Nine Heavens Gang Wind. There was a huge, pitch-dark hole 10 times the size of the pillar on the ground. It was from this hole that the pillar shot out.

“Is the entrance to the TThunder Emperor’s touring abode in this hole?” For a while, almost everyone harbored this idea, but no one dared to jump down first.

This must be a joke. God knew what was down there. One could be sucked into the pillar the moment they jumped down, and no matter how many lives they had, they would only die.

Swish! Several shadows shot into the hole. They were stones around the Lords of Heaven. They were throwing them, as if they wanted to see what kind of reaction the hole would have.

The pillar did not have any reaction. It just stood there, as if it had existed since ancient times. After waiting for a long time, there was no echo. None of them looked very good.

The Eight-tribulation Lords of Heaven were old monsters who had lived for many years. They cherished their lives and were unwilling to jump down to explore the way. They felt regret for not having brought subordinates to explore the way for them.

As soon as this idea occurred to them, someone immediately put it into action. A dozen rays of light flashed again, and more than 10 people left the cyan jade pillar. After a few seconds, they came back again with several guys in their hands. These guys were Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm, but in the face of the Eight-tribulation Lords of Heaven, they simply could not resist. They were thrown into the hole. All of a sudden, shrieks came from the hole.
