Chapter 41: Breakthrough

Stepping into the training room, Dao Wei could feel that he was about to breakthrough. He immediately became very excited and sat cross-legged.

The room was different, it had no roof. One could simply call it training grounds instead of a training room. The sky above was clear and the sun shone brightly. It was impossible to even imagine how one could build such a place inside the tower. The room actually looked like it was outside than inside, to be honest.

"BOOM!"

Finally, a horrifying explosion burst within Dao Wei dantian. It was a very strange sound. More deafening than thunder, however, others could not hear that sound. Only Dao Wei alone could.

At the same time as the explosion, Dao Wei's aura rapidly rose. It was as if there was no end to it, his aura kept rising without any sign of stopping.

He had made a breakthrough. He had successfully surpassed the Golden Core Realm and became a Saint.

Spirit Realm, how many people worked for their entire life yet they could not even touch this level and could only admire those who were able to! It was a realm seen as godlike in many people's eyes.

But Dao Wei, before the age of sixteen, had entered such a realm, again. That was quite an achievement. At least, within the Jiangling Continent, and to those in the Third Grade country or even Third Grade Worlds, only very few geniuses could accomplish such a feat.

Even though he was only at the Early Stage of the Nascent Spirit Realm, his fighting prowess was no less than that of a martial artist at the Peak Stage of the Nascent Spirit Realm or even the Early Stage Nirvana Realm.

"Haha, success! I've finally succeeded! I've finally become a Saint once again!" Dao Wei was elated and excited. His expression could not be represented by words.

Dao Wei did not know how much time it took for him to break through to the Nascent Spirit Realm from the Golden Core Realm, but he knew that it was definitely a very short amount of time.

Although there was a portion of luck in today's success, it could not be denied that Dao Wei had exchanged his hard work for that success.

Dao Wei stood up with a mischievous smile, planning on trying out his newfound powers. The originally sunny and cloudless sky immediately turned dark with pitch-black clouds. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. Everything within thousands of miles went completely dark.

"What the hell?!" Dao Wei was completely horrified. 

He soon realized that all those black clouds were like a huge whirlpool, and the whirlpool's center was right above himself!

It looked like nothing more than a huge demonic eye focusing expressionlessly on him. At the same time, a terrifying destructive will push down upon him.

Dao Wei immediately realized that he was unable to avoid being the center of the whirlpool because when he moved, he saw that the cloud above him also moved along with him. He wildly cursed inside as he saw more and more black clouds gather in the sky. The lightning within the sky gradually converged at the center of the black clouds.

"Is it going to strike me?!" Even if Dao Wei was stupid, he would still be able to predict what was about to happen. He madly struggled. But it was as if the thundercloud in the sky had taken him as its enemy. Despite his best efforts, his body was unable to shake off the thundercloud above him.

Suddenly, immense pressure pressed down on him. It was so terrifying that he was unable to move even an inch now. The huge boulder beneath his foot cracked. Such a sturdy boulder was actually unable to bear the pressure.

Dao Wei couldn't help but tremble in fear. He tried running, but he felt as if a whole mountain was crushing him from every direction. He was only able to make very limited movements and was simply unable to flee.

"This... What is that thing in the sky? Why is it pressing me down? Why is it trying to suppress me?" Dao Wei was not able to understand what was going on. He was terrified by the scene that suddenly appeared before him.

"It is Heavens Punishment. You are unable to flee. Gather your full strength to resist. If you are able to resist it, you will be able to not only gain a terrifying strength, you can also start cultivating the Second Layer of the Nine Heavens Creation Technique."

As Dao Wei was wildly cursing in his heart and was incredibly anxious, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Sky Splitting Origin Dragon?" Dao Wei felt that this voice was coming from his mind. When he checked in his sea of consciousness, he saw that the Sky Splitting Origin Dragon was looking at him and it was the one who just told him about the heavenly punishment.

"You can actually talk!" Dao Wei was so shocked that he even forgot about the Heavenly Punishment for a while.

The Sky Splitting Origin Dragon looked at him. It did not reply to him instead opened its mouth and said, "Humans also call the Heavens Punishment the Heaven Tribulation!"

"Heavens Tribulation?" Dao Wei muttered these two words and immediately thought of something. He exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't Heavens Tribulation something that one encounters after breaking through to Void Transcendence Realm from Nirvana Realm? Why is it that I encounter it so soon when I just become a Nascent Spirit Realm martial artist?"

"Because you are him, no, both of them! Because only you will have the ability in the future to defy and even fight against the Heavens! Because you can become the greatest threat to the Heavens!" This time, the Sky Splitting Origin Dragon replied to him as if he was making the joke of the Heavens.

A puny human, like Dao Wei, could become a threat to the Heavens to the extent that it wants to exterminate his existence before he could even grow up. It wanted to kill him.

Dao Wei also understood this at this moment and he was immediately infuriated. How many evil people existed in the world, and yet the heavens decided to punish him? So unfair!

Putting away his anger, he waved his hand, and immediately a black Sabre appeared in his hands. It was the Black Dragon Sabre. He circulated the First Layer of the Nine Heavens Creation Technique and pushed his power to its peak.

"Would you help?" Dao Wei looked at the Sky Splitting Origin Dragon and asked in a low voice.

"No, I will not help this time. You have to overcome this tribulation yourself. This can also be considered as a test to see whether you are qualified for that destiny or not?" The Sky Splitting Origin Dragon shook its head and said.

"This time? Did you help me before? And what about 'that destiny'? Why can't I understand anything that anyone has been telling me lately?" Dao Wei asked many questions at once because he did not understand anything that the Sky Splitting Origin Dragon said.

He also did not know about the situation where the Abyss Lord wanted to kill him and it was Sky Splitting Origin Dragon that saved him at that time.

"You don't need to know much right now. With time, you will naturally know everything. Now go, face and overcome the Heavens Tribulation!" The Sky Splitting Origin Dragon said and when it waved its claws, Dao Wei was forced to retreat from his own sea of consciousness.

"How terrifying?" At the moment when the Sky Splitting Origin Dragon waved its hand, Dao Wei felt as if he was standing before an existence that could kill him with just a flick of its finger.

He felt immense pressure from the Sky Splitting Origin Dragon, so much so that he felt that the pressure that pressed down on him from the sky was like a child's play compared to the Sky Splitting Origin Dragon. He never encountered this type of pressure in his life nor did he ever see an existence that could rival the Sky Splitting Origin Dragon.

Dao Wei looked at the Black Dragon Sabre in his hand then he looked at the thunderclouds that were still rumbling in the sky as if they were furious about Dao Wei's existence. "It's me and you again, old friend."

He spoke while looking at the thunderclouds, "When I entered the SkyTower for the first time and became its inheritor, I vowed that if Devils blocked my path toward the peak of martial arts, I would cut down the devils into thousand pieces. If the Gods blocked my path, I will kill every god and if the Heavens blocked my path, I will destroy the heavens."

"Now that the Heavens really are blocking my path, then from now on, either you kill me or one day I will definitely wage a war against you!"

When Dao Wei said these words, his figure looked as if he was a war god who had fought a war and went through the crisis of life and death countless times. At that moment, his demeanor was something else. He looked so domineering that could not be explained by words.
