Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 893: Jade Emperor’s Death & Becoming a Celestial Immortal

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“Will Jade Emperor die?”

Although Cundi was suppressing Jade Emperor Sage currently, in Zhou Bao’s opinion, Jade Emperor Sage was merely at a disadvantage. At any rate, he was a Celestial Immortal who could not be defeated easily.

“Humph, nothing is impossible. He could only earn the title ‘Celestial Immortal’ by resorting to some trickery. Since he has only put his primordial spirit in the first layer of the vacuum, he is the weakest among the Celestial Immortals. Given Cundi’s strength, he can exterminate his primordial spirit as easy as pie by relying on the Dharma Ending Tribulation. However, Cundi feared him and didn’t kill him earlier because he practiced the most disgusting Way of the Emperor!”

“Is there something special about the Way of the Emperor?”

“Nothing. Except for dominance, it just relates to fate. After all, even a mortal requires a great deal of fate if he is able to be an emperor. If Cundi had not been injured, he could have seized the fate in one strike no matter how powerful it was. However, his spirit has just recovered and he is going to face the attacks from his old foe. Therefore, Jade Emperor Sage’s fate is essential to him. He has to kill him and snatch his fate!”

“I don’t think it will work even if he possesses his fate!” Zhou Bao was confused. “His opponent is so powerful that he badly injured him when he was in his prime. Can’t he hurt him again now that he has just recovered?”

“Hmph, I’m not quite clear about that. Cundi and his foe are considered the oldest Celestial Immortals and their level surpasses the Celestial Immortal Realm. Thus, they are not allowed to take actions casually. Otherwise, they might influence the balance of heaven and earth, the entire void, and even many eras. Given the identity of Cundi’s enemy, even if he intended to hit Cundi while he is down, he would choose to do so secretly. What’s more, he has enemies as well!”

Just as Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirit was communicating with the Primordial Sword Spirit, a sliver of ruthlessness flashed through Cundi’s eyes. Jade Emperor Sage was like a spent arrow and had exhausted all his skills. He had integrated himself into his Supreme Fairy Weapon and was 100,000 feet tall. The Thunder Axe of Fate behind him exerted its full strength and transformed into a long-handled axe. He held onto it to desperately fend off Cundi. Furthermore, he had activated his overwhelming Qi Power to perfection. But his eyes were full of regret.

He regretted coming to the Treasure-snatching Rock and stirring up trouble.

Now, however, it was late.

“Alright, brat. I’m fed up with fooling around. It’s time for you to pay the price!” When Cundi saw that Jade Emperor Sage’s fate was burning to the climax, a splendid and colorful light emanated from his left hand. A glittering and translucent Tree of Seven Wonders emerged from the light. When he wielded it in the air, seven rays hit Jade Emperor Sage. The latter’s huge body collapsed and his fate turned into wisps of Qi of heaven and earth. Most of the Qi was absorbed by the Tree of Seven Wonders and a small part of it entered Cundi’s body through the tree to nourish his spirit.

“Hurry up. Absorb the Qi of heaven and earth!”

Cundi had not summoned his physical body yet; the body he occupied now belonged to Zhou Bao. Although his powerful spirit completely controlled this body, he failed to exterminate Zhou Bao’s spirit. Worst of all, Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirit was still intact. He just managed to drive it into a corner. As a result, when the Qi of heaven and earth dropped into his spirit, Zhou Bao’s spirit absorbed some of it as well.

“The Qi of heaven and earth is so scant that it is simply useless to me!” Although Zhou Bao had absorbed a lot Qi of heaven and earth, he still could not relax. On the contrary, he thought the Qi he had absorbed was far from sufficient.

“Haste makes waste. No matter how much you have absorbed, it still provides nutrients to you!” The Primordial Sword Spirit was not in so much of a hurry. “Jade Emperor Sage is doomed to die. Cundi’s Real Body will appear after absorbing Jade Emperor Sage’s fate. This is the most critical time regarding whether you can gain profit through risk and win yourself a sliver of hope!”

“A slim chance of survival? That’s easier said than done. How can I regain control over my physical body when Cundi’s spirit is so strong?”

“It’s not difficult. Jade Emperor Sage proves to be a prelude to Cundi. You definitely will find a great opportunity when his real enemy arrives!”

“His real enemy?” Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirit was absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth as he was avoiding the pursuit of Cundi’s spirit. Meanwhile, he pondered who Cundi’s real enemy was.

“Since you are here, then just come out. He really belittled me by sending small potatoes like you guys here to make a mess!” Taoist Cundi eliminated Jade Emperor Sage in one go and swept around the void, shouting out loud.

“Haha, we don’t dare do that. We are just responsible for monitoring Jade Emperor. What he did has nothing to do with us!” The two figures—Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage and Gale Sage—came out of the void. Although they were already Celestial Immortals, they feared Taoist Cundi immensely. They covered themselves in the strange light, trying hard to avoid contacting Taoist Cundi.

“Hmph, don’t think that I don’t know who’s your master. You do have some special abilities given that you are able to leave the brand of your primordial spirit in the second layer of the vacuum. Nonetheless, it’s just a cheap trick in my eyes!”

“Agreed. Our strength is not worth mentioning, senior!” Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage grinned and glanced at Cundi thoughtfully. ‘We have the self-knowledge that we are unable to interfere in your affairs. Since Jade Emperor has died, our task has been accomplished. Please excuse us for taking our leave now!” While speaking, the two tore apart the void and left the space of the Treasure-snatching Rock.

A trace of hesitation flashed through Cundi’s eyes, but he did nothing in the end. Although these two Celestial Immortals were nobodies in his eyes, he was no longer the previous Cundi. Regardless of any other aspects, his body did not reach the Celestial Immortal Realm. He even underwent a great deal of physical labor when killing Jade Emperor Sage, who managed to put his primordial spirit in the first layer of the vacuum. If he were to concentrate on killing these sages, who had placed their primordial spirit in the second layer of the vacuum, the loss would outweigh the gain even if he succeeded in doing so.

His current priority was to advance his body to the Celestial Immortal Realm!

Celestial Immortal!

“Hiss...!”

A sound similar to whales drinking water resounded throughout the void of the Treasure-snatching Rock. The Tree of Seven Wonders floated above Cundi’s head and the colorful light shed down. An immense amount of pneuma surged around the light and formed a huge vortex.

“Be careful! He is going to become a Celestial Immortal!”

Although Cundi made such a mess, Zhou Bao did not know what he wanted to do at first. However, the Primordial Sword Spirit warned him. “He will not allow you, an independent consciousness, to continue to exist!”

“What should I do?”

Zhou Bao was shocked. At about the same time, something bad occurred to the world of his spirit. Cundi’s primordial spirit surged like torrential waves, coming straight toward his primordial spirit.

“I have accomplished my mission, the rest is up to you!” Primordial Sword Spirit said these words, from which a sense of relief was revealed. Enveloped by a stream of Qi of heaven and earth, it charged at Cundi’s primordial spirit.

Zhou Bao was petrified because just as the Primordial Sword Spirit rushed out, a stream of Qi of heaven and earth circled around him. The fluctuations emanated by the Primordial Sword Spirit resembled those of his Primary Primordial Spirit, and the Primordial Sword Spirit seemed like another Primary Primordial Spirit. The real Primary Primordial Spirit was wrapped up by the Qi of heaven and earth and was entirely isolated from all fluctuations. It did not appear to exist.

All of a sudden, Zhou Bao understood the intention of the Primordial Sword Spirit.

In the raging waves of the world of Cundi’s spirit, the Primordial Sword Spirit looked like a drop of water and was swallowed immediately.

Zhou Bao was not touched by all this.

Although he had evolved the Primordial Sword Spirit while practicing the Primordial Spirits of Three Separations, since he inherited the Four Immortal-killing Swords, it became more and more independent and acted as the spokesperson of an unknown big shot. Though it seemed to do everything for the sake of his benefits, it still regarded him as a chess piece. In a word, he was merely a part of the scheme of that big shot.

Being tricked by others annoyed him. But under the current circumstances, he had no other choice but to accept their arrangement. When the Primordial Sword Spirit dashed out, it left the last message to him—a strange but simple sword technique. It was not as abstruse as the Four Immortal-killing Swords. Its only function was to enable him to escape from the clutches of Cundi’s primordial spirit at the crucial moment.

Zhou Bao was anxious to survive. So, he was willing to become another’s chess piece.

“Boom!”

After swallowing the Primordial Sword Spirit, Cundi’s spirit calmed down as if it had no worries. It stretched and filled the entire Sea of Consciousness. Protected by the Qi of heaven and earth, Zhou Bao’s spirit transformed into a drop of water and integrated into Cundi’s spirit.

Ordinarily, Cundi would have noticed that something was wrong. Now, however, he was focused on advancing Zhou Bao’s body to the Celestial Immortal Realm. Confused by the Primordial Sword Spirit, he mistook it as Zhou Bao’s Primary Primordial Spirit. And thus, he failed to discover the Primary Primordial Spirit as soon as possible.

However, Zhou Bao knew that he was not safe. If he really could hide here for a lifetime like a rat in the gutter, he would not mind lowering his head. The fact was that things went contrary to his wishes. If he did not earn the title “Omnipotent Sage” and become a real Celestial Immortal, he could not survive. Only in this way could he completely detach from the connection with Cundi. In this case, his Primary Primordial Spirit and his body had to reach the Celestial Immortal Realm at the same time and he was required to recapture his body.

This was his last hope to survive and also the most difficult task of his life.

To fight for the control over his body with an ancient Celestial Immortal!

This was by no means a joke!

The space of the Treasure-snatching Rock began to fall apart!

It was the first time that a Celestial Immortal had been born in the Treasure-snatching Rock after so many eras. Moreover, this man was the last Celestial Immortal of this era—the Omnipotent Sage.
