Omnipotent Sage Chapter 896 - The Ultimate Tribulation (III)

Chapter 896: The Ultimate Tribulation (III)

Roar!!!

Cundi’s huge primordial spirit roared with rage, but soon began to shrink under the sword light. It turned into a small speck in the vast Sea of Consciousness. The speck twisted and transformed into a Taoist in cyan robes.

The Taoist had a handsome but strange face and displayed a trace of anger. He shouted, “Good! Excellent! You made a move so quickly. You must have confidence in this guy. I want to see how he can turn the tables!”

The sword lights scattered into the Sea of Consciousness, and a faint voice resounded. “Cundi, don’t be so irritated. I have only one chance to intervene, just like them. Since I’ve had my chance, I won’t interfere anymore!”

“Humph!”

At this moment, as if provoked by something, Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirit began to expand violently. It swelled from a droplet to a basin of water, and then a pool. Ten breaths later, his Primary Primordial Spirit had turned into a vast sea, just like what had happened to Cundi before. However, he had nothing to be proud of. His sea of primordial spirit filled almost his entire Sea of Consciousness, but it kept a great distance from Cundi’s primordial spirit, avoiding it as if it was some kind of plague.

“Brat, how did you pa.s.s the Celestial Immortal Tribulation!” Cundi’s face turned ugly. The Celestial Immortal Tribulation in the Sea of Consciousness was not severe. But for Earthly Immortals like Zhou Bao, the tribulation for the Omnipotent Sage was large enough to kill them thousands of times.

Zhou Bao had no time to care about Cundi, because his primordial spirit was being led by another mysterious force. He could sense through his spiritual mind that everything around him had changed. His perception suddenly broke through the constraint of the Sea of Consciousness and rushed out of his body. He perceived that this tribulation in the Immortal Realm was only a short glimpse in history. His perception stretched out longer and longer, and a distant world unfolded in his spiritual mind.

s.p.a.ce flashed through, and time flew by!

This was the essence of nature, and the origin and end of everything.

This was the vacuum!!!

After the Celestial Immortal Tribulation, Celestial Immortals could store their primordial spirits in the vacuum to keep themselves alive for eternity. Take Cundi for example. He had been set up to sleep for so many eras, but still had numerous chances to rise again.

There were nine levels in the vacuum. Ordinary Celestial Immortals could only store their spirits in the first three levels. When their strength improved, their spirits could be stored in higher levels. However, it took countless eras to move into a higher level. Some Celestial Immortals, like the Jade Emperor Sage, were marvelous in this era, but had congenital shortages. He could only store the spirit’s imprint in the first level where there was no possibility of improvement. That was why he planned to take advantage of Cundi’s remains.

Unfortunately for him, the Jade Emperor Sage was born in this era. He inherited precious gifts but had limited his mind within this era and overestimated his strength, which ultimately led to his death.

Zhou Bao’s perception was at the first level now. He could feel ancient thoughts and spirits flas.h.i.+ng through. These thoughts and spirits were the primordial spirit’s imprints the Celestial Immortals in this level had stored.

Meanwhile, he detected a strange but familiar spirit from the energy breaking away from the first level.

“The Dharma Ending Tribulation. This is the spirit of the Dharma Ending Tribulation!” Suddenly, he realized something. This energy was just the beginning of the Dharma Ending Tribulation in the hollow.

“Vacuum, hollow, vacuum and hollow! I get it! The vacuum is the essence and end of everything; it will never change or disappear. The hollow is derived from and limited by the vacuum. Every change of era in the hollow happens because the vacuum is peeling off energy.

“s.h.i.+t! The era in the hollow is being destroyed because the vacuum is s.h.i.+tting!!!” He was mumbling in his heart when suddenly his perception was pushed into a stranger area by a huge unknown force.

This was the second level of the vacuum.

He didn’t realize until now what he had sensed in the first level.

All of nature’s Dharmas were stored in the first level. His perception, which had only lingered there for a few seconds, perceived them all and projected them into the imprint of his primordial spirit. There were so many of them, that processing all the information required a lot more time, which he didn’t have at the moment.

He was at the second level of vacuum.

Compared with the first level, which had been filled with Dharmas, the second level looked more like a huge cage. Numerous evil spirits and ferocious ghosts were locked inside with no one to control them. The minute his spiritual mind touched the second level, it was detected by the spirits and ghosts. An ocean of souls came rus.h.i.+ng toward him.

Zhou Bao was caught off guard. The ghosts jumped on him, hitting him in the face. They went through his spiritual mind without bringing any harm. After that, they continued to wander in the vacuum, leaving only an impression on his primordial spirit. Then, a tremendous suction drew him into the third level.

The third level was empty. There were only a few vague and almost undetectable spirit shadows that had been stored by ancient Celestial Immortals.

When his spiritual mind entered the third level of the vacuum, a feeling of hollowness and containment arose. It seemed that one small thought was enough to contain the entire hollow.

This was——

Zhou Bao felt complete tranquility in his heart. This vacuum was rather familiar to him; it was the home of his soul.

“This is the third level of the vacuum, also called the Elysium. It was secretly created by Cundi and several other Dominators who knows how many eras ago. They even opened a secret channel to guide the strong Earthly Immortals and potential new experts they subdued in the hollow. You were created from the fragments of Cundi’s primordial spirit. That’s why this land is familiar to you. But don’t be deceived by this feeling!”

Just when his primordial spirit was losing its mind, a thought came to him from deep within the vacuum. He recovered his consciousness and his spiritual mind stirred. With help from a strange force, he pa.s.sed the third level and entered complete darkness.

The fourth level of vacuum, the Dark Vacuum!!

The moment his perception reached the fourth level, he felt his spiritual mind tremble. But after that, he was suddenly enlightened. An enormous energy was reserved in this dark vacuum, and his perception immediately integrated into it.

Boom!!!

The second his perception integrated with the energy, his primordial spirit exploded. A mysterious imprint broke away and fused with the Dark Vacuum. When he came to his senses again, he was in the Sea of Consciousness. But this time, it was totally different.

When his primordial spirit successfully entered the fourth level, the one in his Sea of Consciousness went through tremendous changes.

Not long ago, his primordial spirit had increased greatly in size because of the Celestial Immortal Tribulation. Now that it was stored in the fourth level of the vacuum, the nature of his primordial spirit had changed. It evolved into the color of complete darkness, as if it had a.s.similated to the Dark Vacuum.

The dark ocean of primordial spirit was frightening. For the first time, the momentum of Cundi’s primordial spirit was overwhelmed.

He hadn’t made a move on his enemy, but the dark spirit was beginning to erode his entire Sea of Consciousness. A faint sword light gradually formed within the dark spirit and, all of a sudden, sliced toward Cundi’s primordial spirit.

“The Six-spirit Dark Sword! d.a.m.n it! How could he teach you this sword technique!” Cundi’s primordial spirit turned pale. With a furious shout, he rushed out of Zhou Bao’s Sea of Consciousness and disappeared.

At the same time, Zhou Bao’s physical body was undergoing the Celestial Immortal Tribulation. He lost the protection of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. He was drawn into the wild Celestial Immortal Tribulation at once.

“What happened?”

The Wild Wind and Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage had been watching from a distance the whole time. They were shocked when Zhou Bao was swallowed by the Divine Tribulation. But a second later, a colorful radiance shone again. A Tree of Seven Wonders appeared in the same place and continued to grow until it became a giant tree.

Colorful auspicious lights hung from this Tree of Seven Wonders, bigger and brighter than Cundi’s. It radiated with splendor and pushed the Celestial Immortal Tribulation away without difficulty.

The horrible Celestial Immortal Tribulation was dimmed. It began to fade away under the threat of the radiance from the Tree of Seven Wonders. A giant figure appeared.

The figure was more than three hundred thousand meters high. Its horrible spirit suffocated the entire Immortal Realm. The immortals and pract.i.tioners with weak cultivations lost all their morale. Even the Nine-headed Fierce Beast and the Wild Wind frowned at the sight, with horror and shock in their eyes.

The Omnipotent Sage!!

This was the Omnipotent Sage!!

Sure enough, this was totally different!

This was the Omnipotent Sage, the last Celestial Immortal of this era.

There wouldn’t be any new Celestial Immortals in this era. Even if someone had fate twice the size of Zhou Bao’s and his apt.i.tude was a hundred times higher, he wouldn’t become a Celestial Immortal. Because all the energy of this era had been exhausted in the Celestial Immortal Tribulation. There would never be another tribulation in this era.
