Chapter 57

Li Yuan cultivated silently in his new courtyard for 4 months. He mainly cultivated his soul and made it reach the Peak of the 60th Level. While he was cultivating, he noticed that someone was monitoring him from outside the courtyard. He didn't think too much about it as fights inside the Heaven Piercing Mountain is forbidden. Duan Ling Tain would have already received the news about him passing the Nine Tests of Talent.

Duan Ling Tain was enraged knowing that Li Yuan entered the Heaven Piercing Mountain and became one of the cultivators who can stay in it. He would not be able to kill him quickly which means that the people from the Heaven Law Sect will catch him before he can do anything. But, after four months, there was no activity from the Heaven Will Sect. Actually, he received the news that the sect has ordered all of the disciples to return back and not leave the sect for 100 years.

He couldn't help but feel that Li Yuan was extremely lucky. And since the Heaven Law Sect would not attack him, Duan Ling Tain sighed in relief as he could create a good plan to kill Li Yuan. During these four months, he asked his clan to investigate the background of Li Yuan since his face was revealed after the tribulations. Also, he searched for the vampire girl that accompanied Li Yuan. Sadly, he couldn't find her. It's like she disappeared from the world.

Duan Ling Tain sighed as he could only target Li Yuan's family to force him to leave the Heaven Piercing Mountain. Of course, he prepared against the Tier 8 Artifact in Li Yuan's possession.

"Even if you have a Tier 8 Artifact, you will die!" Said Duan Ling Tain. The longer he stayed at the Peak of Martial King Realm, the more insane he would be as the gap between him and his peers continued to widen.

When 5 months have passed, Li Yuan finally left his courtyard. His Soul Cultivation reached the peak of the 61st Level. He was bored because after spreading his spiritual, he determined that one of the geniuses would reach the Martial Emperor Realm after two months. As the cultivation of his Qi came to halt after the 9th Pulsation of Life Phase, he could only cultivate his soul and body. He thought that if he could find an Element Essence and make his body reach the Martial Emperor Realm, he could deal easily with Duan Ling Tain. He would be stupid if he thought that Duan Ling Tain wasn't spending this time to formulate a plan to kill him.

While walking around the mountain, Li Yuan stared at the moon above him. He raised his hand like he wanted to grab the moon with it.

"How long has it been?" Asked Li Yuan with a sad tone. Suddenly, the ground trembled violently. Li Yuan's eyes narrowed as he felt that it was a normal earthquake. But, he was wrong as the intensity of the earthquake became stronger. The air became suddenly hotter and he could feel the wind howling from the distance.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The sound of an explosion rang from the distance which started many cultivators. Even the Severance of Mortality Realm Cultivators were alarmed by the sudden explosion sound.

Li Yuan's eyes became wide open as he saw a large mushroom cloud in the distance. It was too big that even he couldn't see the end of it. Then, a shockwave followed the mushroom cloud.

He could see the mountains in the distance turn into dust by the terrifying strength of the shockwave. His face became ugly as the shockwave closed to him. He wasn't the only person to sense the danger of the shockwave as the Martial Emperors, Dao Realm Cultivators and even the Dao Integration Realm appeared above the Heaven Piercing Mountain. They hurriedly used their strongest spells to create a barrier around the Heaven Piercing Mountain. The barrier shook violently as the shockwave slammed into it.

Li Yuan's eyes were focused on the sky above near the mushroom cloud as he saw blood drops that have the size of a mountain falling from the sky like they were meteors. Terrifying Qi gushed out of these blood drops as it crashed into the ground.

Explosions echoed as the Blood Drops touched the ground followed by a pillar of flames that shot toward the sky and pierced through the heavens.

Li Yuan's lips quivered as he saw the heavens' law morphing around the mushroom cloud and the flame pillars from the blood drops.

The air became extremely hot and even Li Yuan became uncomfortable with it.

"What is going on?!" Asked Li Yuan as he shot toward the sky. He flows all the way to the clouds in the sky and pushed his Heaven Eyes to the absolute limits. His body stiffened and a look of absolute shock appeared on his body. Why? Because as the Mushroom cloud slowly scattered, something that resembled a severed finger was revealed! It had a weird veil around it that it caused it to disappear and appear many times. Li Yuan saw that something or someone was trying to conceal the finger from getting seen. His mind became blank as he saw the severed finger slowly turn into dust. He was alarmed because the Qi density in the air increased by 1000 folds following the severed finger turning into dust. The flame pillars that were created by the Blood Drops turned into pools of lava that even a Severance of Mortality Realm Cultivator could not go near it.

Li Yuan took a deep breath as he started putting things together to understand the current situation. Still, he couldn't calm himself as even with his experience, something like this is out of his knowledge.

Fuck! What is wrong with this life? He, who is deemed to know everything in this world experienced many things that transcended his knowledge and the scoop of his understanding. Now, a severed finger fell from the sky and caused a massive shock wave followed by the Qi Density increasing by a 1000 folds!

The Dao Integration Realm Cultivators's faces were grim as they saw the scene in front of them and sensed the dumbfounding increase in the air's Qi Density.

"Stay here!" They shot toward the place the Severed Finger was seen as they wanted to investigate what the fuck is going on.

Li Yuan flew with full speed to make sure that his clan and Qin Yin is safe. He couldn't use the karma threads technique as the heavens have morphed greatly by the power of the severed finger.

He used the M Sword and with his Qi and Soul Energy, his Flying Speed could put some Martial Kings to shame. He saw massive pools of lava across the land and even by staying 100 km away from them, the heat produced by them burnt his skin.

Li Yuan's face was extremely grim as the world that he lived into for 100 lives has turned into a living hell. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he noticed that the Qi rushed to his body like a tsunami. There was a weird aura in the new Qi that greatly improved his body Constitution. Not only him but all the people who survived from this Apocalypse experienced the same thing.

A sigh echoed in the heavens which caused many tears to appear and revealed the starry sky to the survivors.

Li Yuan who heard the sky felt his Qi go out of control which caused him to plummet into the ground. A sharp pain assaulted his head as he heard a few words echoing in it.

"Sigh...I didn't think that my finger would cause such destruction. Well, consider the benefits you will get as my apology."

After that, the sky mended and everything became silent.

Li Yuan wobbly stood up as his soul was greatly shaken by this ancient voice. There was a type of authority in the ancient voice that made a feeling of worship appear in his mind. Li Yuan gritted his teeth as cracks appeared on his soul because he wanted to resist this feeling. If he couldn't repeal this feeling, he would become a mindless worshiper to that voice.

"Ahhhh!" Li Yuan released a scream and grabbed his head tightly due to the pain coming from resisting this feeling. Blood came from his head, eyes, mouth, nose and ears which made him look horrible.

Suddenly, a warm gush of energy came out of his blood that lessened the pain he felt from the resistance. Li Yuan gritted his teeth and sat down to meditate. He would allow himself to become a mindless worshiper. Especially, for the person who causes this Apocalypse.

Days after days, months after months, Li Yuan stayed silently on his mediation position without moving a single muscle.

One year passed, and Li Yuan' Soul was nearly broken more than a hundred thousand times. Yet, with his Bloodline's assistance and the Undying Soul Technique, he barely survived through it.

Two years passed, and Li Yuan felt like he is about to lose his mind. His Blood was boiling uncontrollably as it released streams of energy to prevent Li Yaun's soul from getting destroyed.

This continued for a full five years until Li Yuan finally opened his eyes revealing the blood-red eyes. Five years... He spent a full five years in order to resist the authority of that ancient voice! And if he didn't have his bloodline, he would be either dead or a mindless worshiper. His Bloodline entered a dormant state after releasing energy for five years to assist Li Yuan and he didn't know when it will wake up.

The first words that came out of Li Yuan's mouth after five years were "So this is the strength of Immortal Cultivators!".

Everything that happened, from the Severed Finger falling down to the Ancient Voice's authority, indicated that this is caused by someone who transcended mortality and became a true immortal. No mortal would possess such strength. The Severed Finger alone indicated that this person body is as big as a planet!

The whole Apocalypse happened five years ago because of a single finger and the blood that came from it. Then, what is the true strength of this person?!

So this is immortality! To have such terrifying strength that even a severed part of your body could destroy the life on a planet!

Li Yuan took a deep breath and looked at his body.

"How the fuck did I get this bloodline that can allow me to resist the Immortal's authority?!"
