Chapter 53

Li Yuan opened his eyes and released a groan. His body was in a terrible state. His two Embryonic Forms of Primordial Spirits were damaged, his Meridians were twisted and if he used his Qi without being careful, they would rapture instantly. He looked around to see that he was lying on a blanket inside a cave. Yao Ling was sitting not far from him and was meditating.

"How long was I unconscious?" Asked Li Yuan.

"One month!" Yao Ling opened her eyes and looked at him.

Li Yuan nodded and forced himself to set down. Then, he took many healing pills out of his storage ring and started eating them one by one. The healing pills that he made are all top-notch and they will heal most of the injuries he suffered. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he noticed a weird thing inside his body. A small lighting spark was entrapped by his blood in one of his bones. The lighting spark was trying to resist the overbearing might of his blood to avoid getting devoured by it.

Li Yuan's eyes shone with light as he hurriedly used his Soul Energy to assist his blood in devouring this Lighting Spark.

Sensing that Li Yuan began suppressing the lighting spark, the Bloodline became bold and surrounded the lightning spark.

Even though the Lightning Spark was tribulation lightning, it couldn't resist the two which resulted in it getting devoured by Li Yuan's blood.

BOOOOOOOM!

An explosion occurred inside Li Yuan's body as he heard an unwilling roar coming from the lightning spark as it was completely devoured. His blood started trembling from excitement as it devoured the lightning spark from the Tribulation Lightning which means that it devoured a part of the heavens will!

BOOOOOM!

Li Yuan's body absorbed Qi at a terrifying speed that caused the Qi of 100km area to rush toward him like waves. Yao Ling started with widened eyes seeing this scene. She has never seen such cultivation speed before.

Li Yuan didn't know how long this state will last so he circulated the Nine Changes of Void Technique to the absolute limits. He transformed into the half fox transformation and used his soul to draw more Qi which caused the area of absorption to drastically increase from 100 km to 200 km.

In the span of 30 minutes, he completely healed all of his wounds. Then, after four hours, he gathered enough Qi to achieve the 5th Pulsation of Life Phase! He didn't hesitate and quickly began it. After starting the 5th phase, he took two days to complete it. Then, he started gathering Qi to achieve the 6th phase. It took 8 hours to gather enough Qi to achieve it and three days to complete it. Then, 16 hours to gather the Qi required for the 7th phase!

This continued until he achieved 8th Pulsation of Life Phase for both of his Embryonic Forms of Primordial Spirits.

Li Yuan's Qi absorption speed returned to its normal speed. He opened his eyes and showed amazement. Absorbing a small lightning spark of the Tribulation Lightning gave him a terrifying cultivation speed that was at least 30 times better than his already fast cultivation speed for a short duration!

Absorbing the Tribulation Lightning is absolutely impossible, even for Li Yuan. He was able to trap a few lightning bolts in his body in his previous lives but he was unable to absorb them no matter how he tried duo to the heavens will being in them.

Now, his bloodline was able to absorb a small lightning spark! This means that he could devour the tribulation lightning if his bloodline became stronger. It was understandable now why the tribulation targeted him. His bloodline pose a great threat to it!

Li Yuan calmed down and looked at his body.

"Why did I get this bloodline? Why is it this strong that even the heavens fear it?"

Even with his knowledge, Li Yuan couldn't find answers to these questions. He sighed and stopped thinking about. He will definitely discover all the secrets of his bloodline. For now, he should focus on achieving the 9th phase... Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped as he thought of a possibility.

What if I devoured another lightning spark after achieving the 9th Phase? In his past life, the 9th phase was like an endless abyss that couldn't be filled. He determined that the 9th phase is the absolute peak as he nearly exterminated two races by devouring them and cultivated for many years to see if he could break the limit of the 9th phase which ended up with failure.

If he devoured another lightning spark after achieving the 9th phase and cultivated in the Heaven Piercing Mountain, wouldn't he be able to break through the limit?

Li Yuan wasn't afraid of the tribulations. As long he prepares well and brings enough weapons and armours, he would be able to survive a tribulation without a problem.

"I need to find a Martial King who is about to achieve the Martial Emperor realm and draw his tribulation toward me. I think this is an easy matter." Li Yuan smiled. He will make formations, armours, and weapons not only to survive the tribulation but also to trap a lightning bolt! Why should he be satisfied with a lightning spark when he can devour a lightning bolt if he prepared well?

His Bloodline seemed to know his plans and started boiling from excitement.

Li Yuan nodded as he made his decision. Now, he should make the longevity pills he needs to restore his life force back to its normal state.

Yao Ling didn't speak and watched Li Yuan who took out a cauldron and started making pills. Previously, His hair was pure white and his face was filled with wrinkles like an old man who is about to die. But, after achieving multiple Pulsations of Life Phases, his life force improved greatly his appearance became like a middle-aged man. After making many pills and eating them, Li Yuan regained back his youthful appearance.

Li Yuan called the M Sword which had many cracks on it and started fixing it. Then, he prepared to leave the cave. He wasn't worried about the materials as he took all the storage rings of the Sages he defeated which provided him with most if not all materials.

"Let's devour some people to reach the 9th Phase." Said Li Yuan with a released tone as he walked toward the distance.

In the Heaven Piercing Mountain, a cry of anger echoed across the mountain.

"I can't draw the Tribulation!"

A handsome young man was roaring from anger and willingness. Around one month ago, he was about to undergo the tribulation which will allow him to become a Martial Emperor but before the lightning could strike him, the tribulation's clouds suddenly moved away which resulted in him not undergoing the tribulation.

He was at first stunned. Then, he became angry as he will not become a Martial Emperor. When he wanted to see where did the tribulation go, he was stunned to see that the tribulation's clouds suddenly disappeared like someone has forced it to scatter. He was dumbfounded as he felt a sense of loss because of the disappearance of his tribulation.

How many years did he spend in preparation for this tribulation? He spent a whole 50 years refining his Primordial Spirit until it reached the absolute peaks of the Martial King Realm. Those who are at the same generation as he has already become Martial Emperors. Still, he didn't care because once he achieves the Martial Emperor Realm after refining his Primordial Spirit to the absolute limits of his current realm, catching up to them wouldn't be a problem. He was truly disappointed in his tribulation for being too quick! Shouldn't it last because of how amazing and heaven-defying he was?

The handsome young man could only sigh as his disappointment in the tribulation became bigger. He didn't have the mood to go out so he sent his subordinates to see why the tribulation clouds disappeared so quickly while he started to attract it once again.

But there is something that terrified him and it was that he couldn't attract them again! No matter how much he tried, no matter what pill or elixir he took to initiate his breakthrough, he couldn't attract his tribulation again and this resulted in him being unable to advance to the Martial Emperor Realm.

He was terrified. His complexion was deathly pale as he tried time after time to attract the Tribulation. Each day, his face would be paler than the previous day as the terrifying notion of him being stuck at the Peak of the Martial King Realm will happen to him.

"No it can't be! How could I, Duan Ling Tain, be struck at the Martial King Realm? It is impossible! I am the Human Race's chosen and I should at least reach the Dao Integration Realm!" Said Duan Ling Tain as he stood up and left his courtyard. He shot toward the distance as fear and anger were apparent in his eyes. He sent a message to his subordinates to know what they figured out during this duration. The message he got caused his eyebrows to shot up and made him head toward a specific location.

It didn't take him too long to reach the place which Li Yuan scattered the Tribulation's Clouds with a single fist. He saw his subordinates waiting for him.

"Repeat to me what you said." Duan Ling Tain's voice was cold and his eyes were like needles that stabbed into the poor henchman's soul.

"Reporting back to the young master, from what we gathered from the witnesses, the tribulation's Lightning and Clouds targetted a masked cultivator whose description matched a cultivator who just entered the Ancient Battlefield. He called himself Scarlet Peak and wore a mark that hid his true appearance. He is known for his mask and black robes with the image of a scarlet peak inscribed on it."

"This Scarlet Peak cultivator is at the Peak of Sage Realm and somehow during his fight with a few Martial Kings, he attracted your tribulation lightning to him."

Duan Ling Tain's eyes narrowed and said: " A Peak Sage Realm fought with Martial Kings..."

"Yes! And he crushed two 1st Stage Martial Kings cultivators before the tribulation attacked him. He attracted the Sages and Saints of all Races and crushed them by himself. And he only used his physical strength!"

"From what we heard from those who watched the entire accident, his body suddenly released the strength of a Peak Saint Realm and used a mystical technique to destroy the lightning bolt that was coming toward him and scatter the Tribulation's clouds!"

Duan Ling Tain's face became grim as he himself wasn't confident in scratting the Tribulation's clouds with his strength. Yes, he could survive the tribulation but to actually attack the tribulation is a taboo! This is a direct challenge to the heavens and the Heavens Law Sect will spare no effect to hunt and kill those who dare to show disrespect to the heavens.

If there is a sect that should be feared in the entire world then it would be none other than the Heaven Law sect. Its a group of radical cultivators who worships the heavens that would kill anyone who shows any thoughts of rebellion toward the heavens. They are more merciless than the devils and even they fear them due to how crazed their reverence to the heavens.

There is a famous saying that antagonises devils, demons and any race in this world, but never antagonise those crazed radicals from the Heaven Law Sect.

You, your clan and every person who had a conversation with you will be killed in less than one day once the Heavens Law Sect put their eyes on you!

Duan Ling Tain rubbed his chin and understood that this matter is bigger than what he expected.

"The news about what Scarlet Peak has done would have already reached Heavens Law Sect. I am sure that the Sect's people are already heading for the Ancient Battlefield now." Said Duan Ling Tain.

"Young Master, there is an important piece of information. You see, after scattering the Tribulation, Scarlet Peak's mask was destroyed and his face was seen by those who survived from his assaults."

Duan Ling Tain's face became grimmer as he said "I will personally search for him. If I kill him I might become able to attract my Tribulation." He received a jade slip that had the image of Li Yuan and shot toward the distance with his subordinates.

"Once you find him, send me a message. I need to kill him before he is killed by those radicals from the Heaven Law Sect" said Duan Ling Tain before making his subordinates leave in different directions.

His eyes were sharp as his speed increased with each second. He must find him before anyone. Otherwise, he would be stuck at the Martial King Realm Forever.

An Old Man was sitting in a crossed legs position and was looking at a mirror in front of him. There were a few middle-aged men standing near him and showed a respectful attitude toward the Old Man.

"I can't believe that there is someone who dared to show such disrespect to the heavens!" Said the Old Man as he made a few hands seals. The mirror shone with light and the Old Man took out a jade slip and made Li Yuan's image appear and merge into the mirror.

Many images flashed in the mirror and the image of Li Yuan who was accompanied by a girl appeared on it.

"I have found..." The Old Man couldn't complete his sentence before seeing the young man in the mirror looking toward him. His Golden pupils made him feel like this young man could see him. A smile appeared on the young man's face as he mouthed a few words that caused the Old Man to show a horrified face.

"The Golden Eyed Devil!" Those were the words mouthed by this young man. But, it installed fear in the old man's heart.

The Heavens Law Sect is a sect that worships the heavens and will kill anyone who shows disrespect to the heavens. But, there is an existence that the Heavens Law Sect that made the Sect pee in their pants.

The Golden Eyed Devil who appears once every generation. This motherfucker has started the tradition of bullying the Sect Every Generation! His descendants would pop out of thin air every generation to bully the sect. The last time a descendant of the Golden Eyed Devil appeared was around 10 generations ago and that time he was brutal! He made the Sect Master, the Elders, and the disciples run around the continent naked for 100 years! The trauma from that accident still harmed the sect greatly. Thankfully, they were able to erase any evidence about it.

But, this made the Heavens Law Sect establish an unspoken rule.

Leave the Descendants of the Golden Eyed Devil alone and the Sect would never be humiliated.

The Heavens Law Sect wasn't as big and strong as it is now, and because no Golden Eyed Devil's Descendants appeared the last few generations, they were able to spread their religion and become one of the strongest sects in the continent. Still, the Dao Realm Cultivators and Dao Integration Realm who experienced the terrifying strength of that Golden Eyed Devil's descendants and lived till now would never dare to release a fart in front of his descendants.

"Ahhhhhh!" A scream of terror came out of the Old Man as the Golden Eyes of Li Yuan and his words made him nearly piss his pants.

"Relay my words! Every disciple, Elder must come back to the sect and will never take a step outside the sect for 100 years!" Yelled the Old Man with horror.

The middle-aged cultivators were stunned by the emotions that were released from the Old Man. They have never seen him show such expression on his face.

"But, That Scarlet Peak challenged..."

Slap!

The Old Man slapped the one who spoke and said: " Who said he challenged the heavens?! it was a friendly spar with the heavens!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What are you waiting for?" Yelled the Old Man which caused the cultivators to escape from the room. They hurriedly relayed the Old Man's Order to everyone from the Heavens Law Sect.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Asked Yao Ling after noticing that Li Yuan was staring at the sky.

A smile appeared on Li Yuan's face as he said: " I didn't think that retarded group would still exist till today!". The mirror that was used by the Heavens Law Sect is called the Heaven Encompassing Mirror which is a Tier 9 Weapon! It is used by the Sect to locate any person in the entire continent with little information like aura or image.

The funny thing is that it is crafted by none other than him! He made it during his boredom so he clearly could sense the special fluctuation that is made by it. And this mirror left by him to that retarded cult.

He first met such a cult in his 3rd life and they annoyed him greatly which resulted in them getting destroyed by him. But, there was a problem. Another cult would always pop out and annoy him in each life. those retarded cults knew how to make cultivators believe in their religion and cults after cults formed by worshipping the heavens. Li Yuan knew that it was impractical to exterminate such cults. So he decided to leave one and let them do what they want. But, he made sure to install a type of trauma that would hunt them to the rest of their lives, The Golden Eyed Devil.

Why would he bother exterminating them when he can use them as an amusement? He installed the fear of the Golden Eyed Devil in the hearts of the Heaven Law Sect people so they wouldn't bother him. It took time but was worth it as in his past last lives, they didn't bother him. Of course, he would renew the fear in their hearts every once in a while. And he gave the Heaven Encompassing Mirror to them as once they see his golden eyes and figure out the words he mouth to them, they would instantly close the sect for a few hundred years.

"That cult has a special ability to make me want to bully them!" Said Li Yuan with a low voice.
