“Kill me? Do you think it will be so easy? If that was the case, I would have been killed a long time ago, instead of being sealed here!” The divine thought of the Primordial Demon revealed an extremely chilly sensation. “They failed to kill me, you, of course, will fail as well. Though I find your spirit quite strange, you’re actually several ranks below the level that can kill me, my son!”

“Right, that’s what I thought too. If the emperors from antiquity times could not kill you but was only able to suppress you, how could I do you in so easily!”

“Now that you’re clear about that, why did you come here?”

“To find out what you are like. I’m just curious!” Zhou Bao gave a nonchalant smile. “But now that I’ve seen you, my curiosity has been completely satisfied!”

“Are you leaving?”

“Do you really think you’ll be able to keep me here?”

“I can’t force you to stay. You have several kinds of mysterious powers, and each of them is not inferior to mine. Although your power has not matured yet, I’m already unable to force you to do anything!” The Primordial Demon answered candidly. “But if I were you, I would stay and listen to what this demon is going to tell me. Perhaps you’ll find my words pretty helpful!”

“Primordial Demon, is that the tone you use when trying to lure others?”

“For those lacking strength and a strong willpower, this is a lure. But to you, a powerful man with unimaginable potential, this is a deal!”

“You want to make a deal with me?”

“I can see that you’re young and capable; you have great potential, so making a deal with a guy like you will certainly benefit me a lot in the future!”

“I don’t want to do so. Dealing with a demon is never a good thing for us innocent guys!” Zhou Bao smiled and resolutely declined the proposal of this Primordial Demon.

“I can offer you exorbitant profits that are beyond your imagination!” This Primordial Demon did not seem to care about Zhou Bao’s refusal. Many people turned him down initially, but in the end, none of them were able to resist the temptation.

However, this time, after his divine thought had been sent out for quite a while, there was no response, as if Zhou Bao had already disappeared from the place.

About one hour later, he finally withdrew his divine thought. There was a curious light flickering in his eyes.

“He’s gone. So decisive! What an interesting boy! But I know what you’re playing at. You’re taking one step back today for two steps forward tomorrow. You’ll come back. And when you return, you’ll be much easier to persuade. Hee hee, mankind, no matter how clever you are, your natural disposition is hard to change. This applies to all those human emperors in ancient ages, and it applies to you, too!”

…

The area sandwiched between the various sects and the Dark Sect was quite large and spacious. There were 20 vast planets in this area, all of which had creatures living on them, was suitable for practice, and above all, had an abundance of minerals. Therefore, those planets bred all sorts of entangling influences, with different sects and the Dark Sect taking charge behind the scenes. Among those planets, there was one Trading Star, which was way more prosperous than Cumulus Star, and its name was Hidden Dragon Star.

Zhou Bao was on this Hidden Dragon Star at this moment.

He left the Primordial Demon in a hurry. Actually, he did not know why he decided to storm off when the Primordial Demon was enticing him with lucrative offers. It was just a gut feeling. This feeling told him that if he were to listen to what the Primordial Demon had to offer, he would not be able to withstand the temptation. In this case, it was better to leave.

But after he left the central area of the Infinite Star Sea, he started regretting his decision.

“Even if I make a deal with him, so what? I can just rake in some profits first!” As he sat still mulling over his decision, feeling an urge to head back to the Infinite Star Sea, suddenly a thunderous boom sounded and gave him a great shock.

“What the hell? Has doomsday arrived? Did the universe explode?”

Hidden Dragon Star was a Trading Star with crowds of people coming and going every day. Nevertheless, behind the hustle and bustle, there was a lot of chaos. But Zhou Bao knew well that these days it was in a good state, much better than it was a few years ago. Every time when the Devil Fetus was produced, this planet was in a total mess, because experts and practitioners from the Infinite Star Sea, the two Star Areas, and the 14 macro worlds would all congregate in this area to fight for that Devil Fetus. In those days, this Hidden Dragon Star and the rest 19 vast planets were all held in a reign of terror. Of course, the chaos and terror in the world of practitioners would not impact ordinary people. In fact, every time when this occurred, ordinary people would seek shelter in the sanctuary provided by various sects. So long as you stepped into the sanctuary, you would not feel anything even if the outside world had been turned upside down.

Now, it had not been that long since the last Devil Fetus was produced, so there were still some marks of the devastation left, showing what those vast planets had gone through. But this mess would end in a few years, and now every planet was in the process of recovering. As Zhou Bao in his previous life would put it, everything was getting back on track. At this point, even if some chaos occurred on Hidden Dragon Star, there would not be any serious problems. But now, it was different, because a serious problem had just emerged.

Zhou Bao had not contacted anyone after he landed on Hidden Dragon Star. He found a desolate hill to calm himself down; to stifle the greedy lust that had risen in his heart.

He had not felt very excited while talking to the Primordial Demon. But now, after he calmed down, he found that his mental state had been affected by the Primordial Demon subconsciously and his greed was burning like fire. If it were not for the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill he had recently mastered, he would certainly have concluded a deal with the Primordial Demon right on the spot. If that was the case, he would be in deep trouble!

Therefore, he came to Hidden Dragon Star to gather his thoughts, restore his mental state, as well as go over his plan. However, to everyone’s surprise, a loud boom resonated at this point. In a city not too distant from the desolate hill where he was staying, a huge mushroom cloud rose, lingering in the sky for quite a long time before dispersing.

“What a fierce power fluctuation! Who on earth is doing this to Hidden Dragon Star—” Before this thought fully emerged in his head, his expression suddenly altered. Standing up, he launched the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill to conceal his spirit. Then, in a flash, he disapparated from Hidden Dragon Star by using the Infinite Realms Teleportation. Almost at the same time of his disapparation, a huge emaciated hand with protruding joints appeared out of thin air and grabbed the entire Hidden Dragon Star.

Yes, this huge hand held Hidden Dragon Star in its palm. Right now, Zhou Bao had just shifted to the hollow outside Hidden Dragon Star, and he saw the whole thing clearly. This huge hand did not seal the space or cast any other special techniques but just made a grab, then, with a gentle pinch, it crumpled the whole Hidden Dragon Star. You can imagine how enormous this hand was, and how outrageous its power was.

Like Zhou Bao, many strong practitioners also managed to escape from Hidden Dragon Star. However, they were just a small portion of the entire population. Those practitioners, who were all at least in the Lord of Heaven Realm and accomplished their Self-worlds, now appeared in the hollow outside Hidden Dragon Star.

After crushing Hidden Dragon Star, the huge hand did not stop its attacks. The clenched hand suddenly made a flipping gesture, and several jets of Qi zoomed out from its fingertips, hitting those Lords of Heaven who had just fled from Hidden Dragon Star, with great accuracy. Those poor guys were reduced to nothing by these seemingly tiny shots of Qi before they even realized what had happened.

What was more, even one shot of Qi was fired at Zhou Bao.

“Da*n it!” Zhou Bao cursed under his breath. This was the second time today that his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill had failed to conceal his spirit from others.

“Wham!”

Zhou Bao flung out a hammer, which collided with the shot and produced another boom.

He retreated backwards with the speed of a shooting star. Feeling the power this Qi contained, his expression changed.

“This power is very strong!”

The opponent felt a bit surprised too when he saw how he had failed to get rid of Zhou Bao in one go. Then, the huge hand stretched across thousands of miles as if there was no distance between the two, and directly encompassed Zhou Bao.

When Zhou Bao attempted to launch the Infinite Realms Teleportation once more, he found to his shock that the space enveloped by this huge hand had been sealed off by a powerful alien force.

“Making such a relentless strike, where are your manners?” His face altered, and instantly his body started to become transparent. The huge hand made a lunge but managed to grab only a handful of air.

It was the Way of the Void, the Grand Void Technique!

This was a Great Way Zhou Bao received during his Thunder Tribulations.

This was one of the 3,000 Great Ways. After obtaining this Great Way, Zhou Bao practiced it and successfully grasped all the wonders of this Grand Void Technique. When in the hollow, the Grand Void Technique could temporarily infuse him with the hollow and turned him into a part of it. The huge hand was indeed powerful, but it could do nothing to Zhou Bao now, for he had already employed the Grand Void Technique. Furthermore, when that huge hand realized it did not manage to catch Zhou Bao, it went motionless for a second. And in this precise second, Zhou Bao again exercised his Infinite Realms Teleportation, and this time he made it, transporting himself outside the range of the huge hand. Although Zhou Bao was quite curious about the huge hand, for the moment he preferred to act prudently. Anyway, it was merely a huge hand. Judging by the power it exhibited, the owner of this huge hand should certainly be an impressive guy, a top expert. His strength must be at the level of a Divine Immortal or above, so Zhou Bao was not so anxious to tangle with him now.

Therefore, when getting out of the devil’s clutches, Zhou Bao did not think but operated the Three Realms Division and the Infinite Realms Teleportation in succession and left this Star Area.

The huge hand did not try to resume its attack when Zhou Bao took off. In contrast, it flipped around and scratched the hollow, thereafter, five wide cracks emerged in the hollow. On the other side of the five cracks, a mysterious world surfaced, with streams of ancient spirit and willpower pouring out from that world and seeping into this world.
