Nirvana

SPLASH

Mo Dao jumped into the pool and walked to the cacoon. The faint heartbeat, intense bloody smell and presence of an enemy to slaughter exposed Mo Dao's bloodthirsty nature. Mo Dao pierced the exoskeleton and caught Han Ji by the neck and threw him outside with full force.

CRACK

BOOOM

SCREECH

Han Ji crashed through multiple walls of the site but quickly stabilized his body. His drowsy eyes regained focus and instantly boiled with murderous intent. It hasn't been long since he entered into a critical state of comprehension. His body hasn't completely assimilated with the blood pond and even law body is incomplete.

CRAAACK

In an instant, the blood pool which was oozing with vigorous vitality and a terrifying aura solidified. Han Ji tried to calm down but he was unable to hold in his murderous intent, a saint who has comprehended a law by 40% and undergoes Nirvana will always be weaker in both strength and control over laws than someone who comprehended 80% even if he survives the law tribulation which is a big question in itself. His comprehension of blood has hardly reached 70% and for his 1st Nirvana, it is a compulsion to use the law of Blood as a base to digest the foreign blood and vitality in his body. Han Ji looked at the broken statue in the distance and his eyes turned scarlet from anger. Life experience and knowledge of a Nirvana-9 saint was the main point of the whole inheritance. Someone who receives it is sure to rise at the same height or even ascend as a Monarch.

CRACK

Han Ji gritted his teeth the ticket to the seat of holy son went in smoke. One needs to understand there are more than 160 core disciples in the Black Lotus sect among which there are saints as well but none has qualifications to be acknowledged as the holy son based on the conditions of the founder thus a battle for the seat of the holy son is fought two centuries before the succession of Sect Leader. If he had gotten the inheritance then his chances would be much higher but everything went into smoke cause of Mo Dao.

BOOOOM

Han Ji emitted intense bloodlust a blackish aura filled with death and decay rushed out of his body representing his inner turmoil. He picked up his sword and strikes at Mo Dao with the intent to cleave him in two

CLAANG

BOOOOOOM

The floor cracked as the sword and axe collided against each other but the stalemate only lasted for milliseconds

BANG

Han Ji was thrown back his hand was numb from pain and his eyes were filled with incredulity. His body was strengthened by the blood pond of various strong people yet lost in a single exchange. Mo Dao chased on tow

BANG

CRUNCH

The next strike forced Han Ji to his knees and with a crunch sound the bones were crushed

BANG

Another kick on the chest send Han Ji sliding onto the floor.

BOOOOM

A bloody and ferocious aura erupted out of Han Ji, his height increased and muscles tensed to limits. The wound on the knee and chest healed in an instant and the Sword got coated in three major auras of blood, death and decay.

HUUM

CRACKLE

Mo Dao's height reached 10 meters and his body was covered in bulging yet toned muscles. Mo Dao truly looked like a brass giant. Mo Dao was inside the 9th fold of space and combined with the restrictions of the site he wasn't able to utilize his law of space to the full extent. Both the edges of the axe got covered in a fiery and ethereal aura of fire and space respectively. The fight was dull like two giants fighting with just bodily strength.

BOOOOM

PUFF

Another collision but the outcome was even more devastating for Han Ji. His right hand exploded into blood fog and the Sword fell but the blood fog quickly materialised into a hand and shot towards Mo Dao's chest

SCRATCH

Only a slight scratch yet Mo Dao's chest started withering rapidly but it only lasted for milliseconds and Mo Dao's body started producing large quantities of dead cells in his body that balanced the decay

SLICE

Mo Dao divided that part of his chest from his body and the injury healed in an instant. He extended his left hand and caught Han Ji by the shoulders and punched him in the gut with full strength

BANG BANG BANG BANG

With every punch, the hall shook and vibrations ran throughout the Inheritance site. Han Ji's brain was in shock and his whole body was paralysed for a second but he already received various punches in that short time and when his brain registered the pain a deep feeling of helplessness, wrath and anxiety filled his heart. He is an elite chosen as the core disciple of Black Lotus Sect but here he was being pummeled by a nobody which was unacceptable to him

AAARRRRGGGGGGGGGHH

A roar full of anger and unwillingness came out from Han Ji

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Next moment the whole inheritance site shook almost throwing Mo Dao off but he quickly stabilized his body. Mo Dao was incredulous when a realisation struck him widening his eyes from surprise but the next moment

"Are you trying to undergo Law Tribulation, Do you still think you can live?" Mo Dao sneered derisively, after gaining inheritance of knowledge Mo Dao is ready for Sanctification

"Cough...cough..." Han Ji did not speak anything he just stared at Mo Dao with hate and spite.

PUCHI

AARRGH

Mo Dao gauged his eyes and dragged him towards the statue. Mo Dao lifted the part of the red law stele from ground and gulped it down.

[Laws Detected does chosen wants to comprehend]

The stone melted in Mo Dao's stomach and intense heat burned the inner walls of the intestine but Mo Dao's face was calm and he only stared at the rising percentage of law.

BOOOOOM BOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOM

The site couldn't sustain any longer thus the ceiling exploded and the 9th fold was blasted by a thick pillar of thunder

BOOOOM

Mo Dao was blasted outside and the space healed rapidly.

FWOOOSH

While in midair both of them got surrounded by a Sunball of several kilometers in size. The temperature in the center exceeded 10000°C. Mo Dao's domain erupted and converged on him. Mo Dao quickly took the form of Sun Demon. A dark red flare covered his face and the temperature of his body easily exceeded 5000°C.

BOOOOOM

The Vital energy in his body burned crazily raising his body heat comparable to 9000°C which barely reached equilibrium with the outside but Han Ji was scorched badly the right side of his lower body had already evaporated. His remaining body was covered in a reddish-black aura trying to preserve his vitality. Han Ji did not strike at Mo Dao thinking both were on the same boat but if Mo Dao heard Han Ji's thoughts he might've burst out laughing.

BOOOOOOM

Another explosion occurred but this time it blasted out of Han Ji's body. His cheeks were sunken and the skin was hanging loose with uncountable holes all over it. There wasn't a single drop of blood in his body, the muscles stuck loosely to the bones and his eyes were drowsy. Han Ji obviously wouldn't die from this but

BOOOOM

This time Mo Dao's body shook and the blood inside his body revolted. Han Ji had comprehended the law of Blood yet he was unable to control his blood so how can Mo Dao fare well yet the blood couldn't even pierce out of Mo Dao's skin combined with three kinds of law body he had forged the blood disruption only caused him slight discomfort. Mo Dao stared all around him the blood sucked out from Han Ji's body turned into small blood beads and surrounded them in a spherical form. The blood beads started multiplying and in an instant hundreds of weapons emitting a sharp and lethal aura surrounded Mo Dao from all sides.

SHUA SHUA SHUA

The blood weapons swiftly moved towards Mo Dao from different angles.

CLANG

The axe warped in Mo Dao's hands and he parried all the attacks with ease. Mo Dao's reaction speed was too fast in this form.

ZOOM

Mo Dao suddenly warped away from the place and appeared in the middle of Anyang province. People were evacuating in hurry the intense heat and rumbling of ground alarmed the whole Anyang but in the middle of the bustling and rushing crowd Mo Dao's 10-meter giant body at 10000°C surrounded by fire appeared out of nowhere. The crowd in the surrounding 6km evaporated instantly while a few grandmasters survived for a few more milliseconds but the end result was same.

BOOOOOM

Next millisecond the Sunball crashed on Mo Dao's head in the middle of Anyang.

BANG BANG BANG BANG

Mo Dao kept on deflecting the blood weapons and the temperature of the sunball kept on increasing as more people died. Mo Dao's eyes shined in anticipation as with a final crash all the blood weapons turned into ordinary blood and disappeared but a single golden-red drop was left hovering.

SHUA

The blood rushed towards Han Ji and entered his chest. Han Ji's body started healing rapidly his law tribulation ended now he'll undergo Nirvana through the Golden-Red drop of blood as a catalyst. Han Ji was still trapped in his left hand.

CLANG

HUM HUM HUM

Mo Dao dropped the axe and lifted his right hand, the Vital energy in his body depleted and his body started aging but a smile filled with glee and anticipation was plastered on his face. Be it cultivators normal humans or animals all the life present in Anyang disappeared and warped right above the 3km giant Sunball. A full three hundred thousand people fell like straws in an iron furnace and evaporated within milliseconds. With every death, the size and temperature of the Sunball rose to new heights.

"STOP IT YOU FUCKER"

Han Ji's eyes were filled with terror, he didn't care for the people of Anyang but the size of Sunball already exceeded 35km and the temperature crossed over 40000°C yet still increasing. Mo Dao did not heed the shout but raised his hands again and used the law of earth his aged appearance became even more haggard and the vitality in his body was all-time low but Mo Dao couldn't care less.

BANG BANG CRAAAACCK

The land surrounding Anyang cracked and the city which was more than 200km in diameter slowly curled up in a ball. For a few seconds, there was silence then

FWOOOOOOSH

CRACKLE SIZZLE

BOOOOOOM

The ferocious Sunball broke the last layer of earth and the circular structure was submerged in an ocean of fire. A Sunball of 210km diameter with a core temperature of more than 100000°C submerged the remains of Anyang.

Inside the Sunball Han Ji's eyes were lifeless and filled with despair. He looked at Mo Dao whose body had almost melted and just bones remained but instead of dying down, it started to regrow. Han Ji's flesh and blood slowly melted into the ocean of lava leaving behind a single drop of golden blood which was caught by Mo Dao's bony fingers.

Mo Dao was in a special state, there was no flesh on his body but he felt more alive than ever. This was similar to when he had become a Grandmaster and his spirit was separated from his fleshly body. The ocean of lava contained high amounts of metal and minerals such as gold, silver, iron and several unknown metals such as the axe which couldn't withstand the high temperature and melted. The ocean started compressing and its density increased to an unnatural level. It entered Mo Dao's bones and altered his bone marrow. Mo Dao felt searing pain throughout his body even when he was in spirit form. The process continued and slowly Mo Dao's bones turned obsidian in color and the Golden-Red drop of blood merged with his bone marrow. The instant that drop of blood merged with Mo Dao it hastened the process of Nirvana, tissues and blood rapidly grew on Mo Dao's body. In just a few seconds new skin started covering Mo Dao's body. Mo Dao's body was complete and he slowly submerged himself in the ocean of fire. The minerals and metals which were broken into smaller units mutated and merged into Mo Dao's body. Mo Dao's body was like a never-ending well the whole ocean of fire containing searing Magma and flare entered his skin, muscles and even cells mutating his body into something entirely different from human.

While Mo Dao was undergoing Nirvana a furious battle ensued a few miles away from Anyang near the valley.

Dwanwu Xing and Guardian Wei Yuan utilized their full strength to fight against Chao Heng. Opposite Chao Heng's eyes were red from murderous intent.

A while ago as the Law tribulation started all the saints other than Mo Dao's minions were startled feeling two different auras from inside of the Sunball. Chao Heng knew the site belonged to the Blood Demon sect thus the law tribulation of Han Ji should be of Law of Blood but when did the other one sneak in without using a Blood Bead? Chao Heng decided to wait and watch since two auras locked onto him belonging to Wei Yuan and Dwanwu Xing. If he rashly intervened then the battle might affect the tribulation which can't be allowed and as his Guardian, he needs to have faith in his Han Ji. Dwanwu Xing had no intention to intervene either without Mo Dao's orders while Wei Yuan will do anything to retrieve Chen Xuan thus a stalemate was created but it only lasted a few minutes before chaos erupted. Chao Heng felt Han Ji's aura fading away and the origin blood in his grasp also shattered signifying Han Ji's death which raised his murderous intent to the max. As a demonic cultivator, he already lacks patience combined with the death of Han Ji his switch got flipped and he charged towards the Sunball.

Wei Yuan was also furious about the death of 300thousand residents of Anyang. He didn't know about Mo Dao nor about Han Ji but the presence of elder Chao Heng made him sure it was someone from Black Lotus Sect undergoing Nirvana thus after securing Chen Xuan he charged straight at Chao Heng. As for Dwanwu Xing, he'll naturally stop Chao Heng from disturbing Mo Dao thus he teamed up with Wei Yuan to suppress Chao Heng.

BOOOOM

Law of life and death, light and Darkness collided against each other making a thunderous explosion. Wei Yuan was pushed back since his cultivation is a stage lower but before Chao Heng could advance a shadow identical to him rose from underneath and caught him by the hair. The shadow threw Chao Heng crashing through the Mountains at the same time Wei Yuan blasted several thunders and light spears at Chao Heng. Both of them followed with the next attack instantly.

Meanwhile, the Sunball which expanded over 200km was now reduced to just a chunk of frozen egg made of frozen lava and rocks 400 meters in diameter.

CRAAACK

Cracks ran across the egg and suddenly a brownish hand with blood-red nails shot out from inside bringing tons of lava with
