“I really want to know just how strong I am now,” murmured Zhong Yue.
Having been deprived of every chance to unleash his full power, Zhong Yue was very eager to fight at full strength. If it weren’t because he must not have himself exposed, he would’ve unleashed his full strength without bothering anything!
One day, I will cultivate the Yin and Yang Qi into the Innate Qi! At that time, my strength will increase even further when I merge the two Qi into my sabers!
Zhong Yue thought for awhile and he got out from his room before he shot all the while up into the skies. Seconds later, he was already at the top level in the thunder level and thunder roared around his ears.
The Heaven Realm was the highest realm among the six realms; its heaven and earth spiritual energy far surpassed the other realms, which also meant that the lightning tribulation in the Heaven Realm was far stronger than the other realms’.
And the Lesser Void Heavenly Saint Realm was the sacred place of the Heaven Realm; thus, when Zhong Yue appeared in the sky and triggered the lighting tribulation, the entire Lesser Void Heavenly Saint Realm immediately noticed the oddity in the sky!
In an instant, Zhong Yue had caught the attention of the gods within the realm and when they looked up, they witnessed the many layers of Lei Zhe lighting up following by the appearance of a monstrous sized Leize Dragon!
The 49 layers of Lei Zhe, 49 levels of lightning tribulation!
Somewhere dangerously close to the almighty Leize Dragon was a young man that ascended quickly. He climbed past through the many levels of Lei Zhe while the Leize Dragon did not even respond to his arrival…
A Heavenly Deity looked up and he said unsurely, “Who is that? He seemed to have passed through the 49 levels of Lei Zhe! Why is he not stopping? Could it be… he is trying to enter the Pure Yang Lei Zhe?”
“It’s Zhong Yue from the Prison Realm! He is preparing to enter the Pure Yang lightning zone to challenge the 81 levels of Pure Yang Lei Zhe! It is said that only the ancient monarchs could finish the 81 levels! Who gave him the courage and confidence to do it?”
“Is he trying to harvest the Pure Yang Dao Fruit?”
In the air, Zhong Yue entered the Pure Yang lightning zone. He looked around and saw the first Pure Yang Lei Zhe forming slowly with the Pure Yang Leize Dragon gradually appearing.
When he looked down, he realized that he had attracted the attention of those countless Qi Practitioners on the ground and with a smile, he murmured softly, “Xin Huo, are you ready?”
“Of course,” replied Xin Huo, “As soon as you enter the Pure Yang Lei Zhe, I will take over your body while you put on the mask and enter Hell! I will help you to finish the lightning tribulations and with everyone’s attention attracted, no one will realize you are going to raid the Abyss, not even Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan!”
Zhong Yue smiled and under everyone’s gaze, he entered the first level of Pure Yang Lei Zhe, only to be greeted with overwhelming Pure Yang lightning that swallowed him.
Chapter 712: Stunning |
As soon as he wore the mask, the bizarre feeling of passing through a barrier and entered another dimension once again arose in his heart. Although he was still in the Pure Yang lightning zone, the Pure Yang lightning couldn’t harm him at all.
He was now in his Yuan Shen form, situated in the dimension of Hell.
The surroundings were still the same, but everything turned blurry with the ghost fire burning quietly around. A godly light bridge made a beautiful arc across the sky where the dead souls were uncontrollably attracted to it.
Zhong Yue landed on the Bridge of Helplessness and two voices laughed and said, “Junior martial brother, we’ve been waiting a long time for you!”
Zhong Yue looked over and saw two Hell officers standing on the light bridge looking back at him. He thanked joyfully, “Brothers, thank you for coming.”
Surely enough, these two Hell officers were the Bi and An brothers. They exchanged a look and smiled, “We are not here to help you but merely just fulfilling our end of the bargain with you. We are to offer you our help now, and then you will be the life guardian of our next life.”
An continued, “Don’t take it to your heart. Our life guardian was Granny Shan, but she is reaching the end of her life. Thus, we’ve been wanting to find a new guardian to replace her. This is merely a transaction so you need not to be grateful at all.”
Zhong Yue was puzzled. The Bi and An brothers have been treating him well, but sometimes, they also feel quite distant from him.
Furthermore, the brothers were here to help him yet they specifically pointed out that it was just a deal.
But time was no friend to them, Zhong Yue couldn’t spend any longer dwelling on such questions and said, “Time is running out, let’s go!”
The three of them quickly followed the light bridge and flew toward the eighteen Hell cities.
At the same time, when Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen was sent to Hell, Xin Huo had taken control over his mortal body. The little flame controlled Zhong Yue’s mortal body and casually cast out a [Celestial Demon Yi] that crushed all of the Pure Yang lightning around him. He was worried and thought,
In the Heaven Realm, the gods and Qi Practitioners were looking up to Pure Yang Lei Zhe. And when they saw Xin Huo casting the [Celestial Demon Yi], they were all amazed.
The Heaven Relam’s Shi Yinji, Ju Ying; Earth Realm’s Hua Zhenchuan, King Xin Ling; Celestial Realm’s Bi Shan, Que Yunfei; Myriad Realm’s Qian Zeng; Elemental Realm’s Gang Tianzheng; and Prison Realm’s Yu Bochuan, were all in the Heaven Realm, looking at the high sky.
When the prominent experts saw ‘Zhong Yue’ casually waving his hand and crushing the incoming lightning, their faces changed drastically and they mumbled, “Impossible… How is he so strong!?”
Yu Bochuan even shouted in shock, “Brother Zhong has truly gained much from his seclusion! His skill has grown far too strong!”
Shi Yinji frowned as well, she mumbled softly, “It’s a Creator-level skill! Looks like this human still has something up his sleeves, he didn’t show his full strength in the previous screening. Heh…”
Ju Ying’s face also changed drastically, he mumbled, “A formidable competitor! The skill he cast is so… profound. It cannot be a newly created skill. That means that he has learned it somewhere else and shamelessly made it his.”
“A Creator-level skill!” Celestial Emperor Ai Shan’s face grew solemn, he said to another celestial empress beside him, “I never thought that Realm Lord Fa would have such an expert under him. How impressive. I couldn’t even tell that this young human possessed such an amazing skill. Could he be a reincarnated Creator?”
“If he is, then His Majesty must be informed!” The celestial empress answered with dead seriousness.
The celestial emperors exchanged a look, and they opened a space rift and headed to the Heaven Court.
The [Celestial Demon Yi] was Zhong Yue’s creation and it was cast with his arcane energy. Yet, when the caster was changed to Xin Huo, its power was boosted to a level beyond Zhong Yue’s reach.
After all, Xin Huo’s knowledge and experience that were accumulated over the past thousands of years were unparallelled by almost every living beings ever existed.
Hence, it was no surprise that the Heaven Realm was shaken by that one skill he cast.
Did I overdo it ? Xin Huo noticed the commotions in the crowd and he thought,But isn’t that quite normal? With Brat Yue’s current level, he is definitely capable of doing what I just did. He has cultivated the Innate True Soul and the Innate Fuxi Yuan Shen. Damn, this Heaven Realm truly is full of country bumpkins!
Xin Huo was casually casting the skills Zhong Yue had created as well as some of those that Zhong Yue was well-versed in. His every skill and move was instilled with magnificent power and indescribable profundity.
When Ju Ying saw ‘Zhong Yue”s fist skill, he still thought ‘Zhong Yue’ was a formidable competitor. But now, Ju Ying
’s eyelids fluttered heavily upon realizing that he knew clearly he was no match for him at all.
Xin Huo had been in Zhong Yue’s body all along, he was there to witness Zhong Yue’s growth and watched as Zhong Yue created one skill after another. And as the great preceptor, Xin Huo of course would learn and absorb everything Zhong Yue knew.
It wasn’t long until Xin Huo defeated the Pure Yang godly dragon of the first Pure Yang Lei Zhe. He stepped in the air as if there was a flight of stair in front of him.
He reached the second level of Pure Yang Lei Zhe and thought, Brat Yue’s mortal body is still kinda weak, and with his current speed, it’d be eons until he can cultivate his mortal body to the level that can copulate with the innate gods like Moon God! Haha, since I’m controlling his body now, let me give him a push in his cultivation! Although these country bumpkins are mostly unenlightened, they might still be able to recognize the techniques of the Fuxi Clan. Then, we’ll use the cultivation techniques of the Sui Sovereigns!
That’s it, the third Sui Sovereign’s physique-refining art, the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]!
With a change of thought, he controlled Zhong Yue’s arcane energy and abruptly opened his mouth at the incoming Pure Yang lightning.
Slurp—
An enormous clap of thunder roared in ‘Zhong Yue”s stomach and engulfed all of the experts in sheer terror.
The [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] had turned his stomach into a furnace that melted even the Pure Yang lightning!
However, as the physique-refining art of the third Sui Sovereign, the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] was a top-tier physique-refining art even among the other Heavenly Monarch-level techniques!
When cultivated to large succes, it could even turn the chaotic Desolate Lightning flickering in the deepest region of the universe into nutrients to the mortal body!
“He swallowed and absorbed the Pure Yang lightning!”
The terrified Ju Ying, Hua Zhenchuan, Shi Yinji, and the rest fixated their eyes at Zhong Yue. It was out of their knowledge that a cultivator could actually swallow and even absorb the almighty Pure Yang lightning. At that moment, a certain thought arose in all of their minds, Is he actually a human? Is he really not some ancient figure that was reincarnated?
Too strong? Xin Huo complaint in his heart and spurted out part of the Pure Yang lightning, making it seem like Zhong Yue was not strong enough to fully absorb all of the Pure Yang lightning.
The crowd immediately heaved a breath of relief.
Rays flashed across Ju Ying’s eyes as he smiled, “Greedy. The human Zhong Yue is too greedy. He swallowed more than he could chew, and this has imposed a severe wound to his internal organs. He won’t be able to go far anymore.”
But out of his expectation, ‘Zhong Yue’ was still well and good with no signs of being wounded at all. He pulled his fist backward and hurled it out in great momentum, crushing the second level’s Leize dragon god into thin air with sheer strength, and reached the third level.
Ju Ying’s face turned dark, while Shi Yinji frowned, “This man is far too strong for a human. I have to inform my mother.”
Just as Shi Jinyi was leaving to see the queen, flowers suddenly rained from the sky, with all the trumpets sounding, and a lady escorted by royal maidservants arrived before her.
Shi Yinji quickly knelt and greeted, “Mother.”
Ju Ying, Hua Zhenchuan, and the others saw the lady and their face changed. They quickled bowed and greeted, “Queen Shi Ji!”
“Stand.” Queen Shi Ji gestured her hand and said while smiling, “There were two celestial emperors that rushed to the Heaven Court and informed His Majesty of the possibility of a Prison Realm Qi Practitioner as a reincarnated Creator. I was there and overheard the report, and came out of curiosity. His Majesty and the Heavenly Kings are also highly interested and are arriving soon.”
Just as she finished, the sky above them cracked in two and through the space rift, the Six Paths World’s Heaven Court shining in golden rays could be seen.
The strong and powerful presences sat in the golden lights, and surrounded Realm Monarch Yunshan in the center. And they were all looking and praising the lone human in the Pure Yang Lei Zhe.
“Amazing skill!” Heavenly King Shang praised.
Realm Monarch Yunshan also nodded softly, “It is indeed amazing.”
Queen Si Ji looked at ‘Zhong Yue’ and smiled, “This human is definitely a reincarnated Creator.”
Heavenly King Shang, Heavenly King Yu, and the others quickly congratulated Realm Monarch Yunshan, they were laughing as they said, “Congratulations! His Majesty, with this reincarnated Creator in our Wei Shen Six Paths World, we will definitely be able to secure a higher rank among the 3,000 Six Paths World! We will not be the weakest anymore!”
Realm Monarch Yunshan was happy as well, but he remained calm and said, “But then, we can’t say for sure yet. If he is like the Bi and An brothers and hid his prowess, the Wei Shen Six Paths World will still remain the same as before. I wonder how did he ended as a human in this life, the intrinsic defects of the human race have greatly limited his power. If the other Six Paths Worlds also have the reincarnated Creators, he won’t be their match.”
Even though he appeared to be reasonable, there was something he failed to point out. That is if ‘Zhong Yue’ was a reincarnated Creator, it means he would be in the same level as Realm Monarch Yunshan in his past life. Simply put, Realm Monarch Yunshan was worried if someone like him could be tamed.
Xin Huo took advantage of the Pure Yang lightning and refined Zhong Yue’s mortal body while leveling up with unstoppable momentum.
He reached the 20th level of the Pure Yang Lei Zhe and realized that he needed to slow down. Thus, he slowed down and pretended to put up a struggle.
However, Zhong Yue’s mortal body had been refined to a stage that he could cut open space with just his mortal body alone!
Realm Monarch Yunshan saw him slowing down and silently heaved a breath of relief, he thought, This human Zhong Yue can be made a great ally. He is weaker than me and I can easily make him concede .
But he wasn’t the only one that was relieved, the other experts also heaved breaths of relief. The power that ‘Zhong Yue’ had revealed to them before this was out of their league, crushing through one level after another as if punching through frail layers of paper. The pressure he gave to them was so immense that they once thought he was a few levels beyond them.
However, seeing that he was slowing down, their image of ‘Zhong Yue’ quickly returned to that of someone that was still beatable albeit exceptional.
Yet, if only they could listen to Xin Huo’s thoughts, they would never think so anymore.
Hmmm, let’s just bring Brat Yue to the 79th level. The 80th level is a little too much, and if I help him through the 81st, I guess everyone’s jaws in the whole Six Paths World would drop down to the ground . Xin Huo thought, It’s only the 79th level, that’s quite lowkey. After all, I’m not like Brat Yue, I’m always a low-key kind of person…
Chapter 713: Mother Ghost |
With Xin Huo taking control over my body, things would be perfect and no one will realize that I’ve returned to Hell and suspect me of what happened!
In Hell, Zhong Yue was moving rapidly along with Bi and An and he thought,After hijacking the Abyss and freeing King Geng, he will have no place in this world anymore. His only option is to run far away and return only when his strength could rival Realm Monarch Helian Yun Shan’s.
Hell was a place where the real body could not enter and the techniques in here were different as well. In this place, whoever with stronger soul possessed stronger power.
Bi and An were hundred generations of celestial emperors. In one life, when their powers in the level of Deity Emperor ceased to improve further, they would reincarnate into the next life. And because of that, their Yuan Shen were refined to terrifying levels. As such, they were able
to unleash the full power of a top level Deity Emperor in Hell, if not, stronger!
And that was the reason why Zhong Yue asked for their help.
Whereas for Zhong Yue, after achieving cultivating the Innate Yuan Shen, his Yuan Shen was incredibly powerful. Though he was not on the level as Bi and An still, he was still confident in entering Hell!
The soul was the hardest aspect to cultivate and after managing to cultivate the Innate True Soul, he already stood among the upper echelons of Qi Practitioners.
And he dared to hijack the prison to save King Geng because of his Innate Yuan Shen!
However, he was not familiar with the Hell’s techniques like Bi and An were, ortherwise, he would’ve intruded Hell alone instead of seeking help from the brothers.
Not long later, the Hell’s first fort, the Serene Darkness Mansion was in sight and while Zhong Yue and An slowed down, Bi dashed forward towards the Serene Darkness Mansion with lighting speed as he unleashed his full power.
“How dare you commit such foul play!”
The gods guarding the Serene Darkness Mansion were enraged and they quickly get into position and prepared for Bi’s attack. Previously after the incident where Zhong Yue disrupted the order, wreaking havoc within Hell and freeing Creator He Lan and the other criminals, the security of Hell had been tightened to an intensively high extent where even armies from Heaven were sent there to help fortify the defenses.
Thus, god knew how strong Hell was right now as compared to back in the days; with existences like the Heaven Court’s Deity Emperor guarding Hell to prevent any potential chaotic events. Thus, with Bi’s extreme strength and sudden hostile appearance, he instantly attracted and alerted those guarding the Serene Darkness Mansion.
The judge stationed in the Serene Darkness Mansion and the Deity Emperor from the Heaven Court immediately got up and both of them unleashed their presence while they ascended into the air. The both of them rose up and shouted, “Who dares to offend the almighty heaven and earth! Come and receive your judgement….”
