Chapter 428: The Rift, Again
The solar system was at peace… until the fluctuations of an eighth-grade Dao Treasure emerged. It was harmless to the others due to the planetary formations. It was tested once when it negated the impact from the two Meis’ fight. Now, they proved their worth once again.From the eighth-grade formation that served as the core and dozens of peak seventh-grade formations to support, not a single one was broken. The fluctuations were blocked off completely.
This time, however, there was an advanced announcement of the high-level officials ‘forging’ a brand new weapon. That was the source of the commotion, or so the public was told.
“It doesn’t suffice at all…”
Hearing Welt Yang’s mutterings made Tesla a bit salty.
At this point, the matter of Shi Tian and his ‘partners’ are already known within their circle. It was, ironically, a dual cultivation technique that broke all conventions and produced twenty-two Void Refinement Realm Star Lords in under a thousand years.
Shi Tian’s ‘Xiutian Art’ also cannot be distributed freely. Only he possessed the Five Elements Yang Spirit Root. The next best option is auxiliary cultivation techniques. It just so happened that Shi Tian possessed a of these things. One of the techniques he gave Welt Yang was the ‘Countless Children Heavenly Blessing’.
Simply put, a husband and wife would get rewarded with every child conceived. The greater their talents and ‘karma’, the greater the rewards. When Tesla conceived their firstborn daughter, the duo received the gift of ‘Realm Empowerment’. It could push their realms to another level. It is similar to ‘Tao Gifts’ in nature.
They chose not to use up that ‘opportunity’ and waited until they reached the ‘major realm bottleneck’ before doing so.
“Of course it won’t suffice.” Tesla’s words carried a bit of her frustrated exhale. “When was the last time you spent the night at home?”
“...”
Welt Yang a certified workaholic. It was the main culprit that strained his relationship with Tesla. Only recently did they have a proper talk.
“I am talking about our daughter, alright! What if something bad happens to her father? Wendy emphasized it over and over…”
Their lack of communication led to a of bad things. Nobody was able to understand the other. What was supposed to be a two-man problem turned into two one-man problems.
Back then, Tesla asked Wendy about the general trajectory of their future. There, she saw a major turning point in Welt’s life. One wrong mistake could lead to the eternal abyss. The best advice Wendy could offer was to become stronger. Possessing a high “status” could effectively deal with a lot of things—this world or immortal cultivation alike. Welt Yang has to raise his realm as fast as possible before that ‘turning point’ draws near.
More shockingly…
“”
That was the final divination Wendy pulled off at the cost of her lifespan. Naturally, it went through a lot of interpretations. It didn’t take long before they locked onto one possibility:
He has a role for the future upheaval of the universe. The lack of his presence would cause a of things to deteriorate rapidly. Going against that ‘script’ would place the entire universe in greater possibilities of .
Just then, he felt a strong grip on his sleeve. Tesla’s fingers crawled towards his wrist, locking it tightly. Welt Yang’s rather mind made him form dumbfounded looks at it.
“Don’t forget the time… that you need to make up.”
*****
The first to fall was Destruction. THEY received half of our firepower. THEIR image of golden blood could only turn translucent as THEY received more attacks. Ultimately, they succumbed to the two universes stacked upon one another—Zixiao Palace and my small universe—before dissipating thoroughly.
However, THEY left behind THEIR ‘status’. It is a ‘raw’ authority that could be taken to increase the level of Blade Mantra’s .
The next one was IX. Despite THEIR infamous power to render everything , there is nothing immortal cultivation couldn’t solve. My that simulated Amphoreus’ twelve Primum Mobiles, combined with eighth-grade Dao Treasures, proved to be utterly overwhelming to an isolated half-step Dao Integration Realm opponent.
With THEIR fall, Abundance and Harmony followed forth. Dealing with Aha is for another day. As much as I wanted to double-cross THEM, my intuition told me it is a bad choice.
“Huff…”
The empty Zixiao Palace mirrored my internal thoughts at this moment. My mind felt extremely heavy. Controlling an eighth-grade Dao Treasure required a lot of my attention. The small universe further exacerbated its aftereffects. No matter how strong I am, I cannot function indefinitely as a spiritual qi converter. Every consumption posed a burden, requiring a period of recovery to remove.
My hands cannot stop shaking. A lethargic feeling filled my entire being. My mind could no longer function as before. The speed of my thoughts continued decreasing. Simultaneously, I stopped being able to circulate spiritual qi. It first turned sluggish before coming to a full stop.
I couldn’t even properly deactivate this Dao Treasure when… I… n… d.
…
…
…
…
The feeling of being spied upon pierced through my entire body like a needle. My eyes shot up. My mind instinctively wanted to leave my true body to scan my surroundings.
…
I tried several more times… until I confirmed one fact. I cannot manifest my mind externally. Also, the speed of my thoughts… It is extremely sluggish compared to my pinnacle form.
These thoughts sent chills down my entire body. could make someone at the Void Refinement Realm powerless without a trace—at least nothing I knew of.
The power of … nothing.
The Dao of All Creation… responded.
Just as I discovered it, the shroud of darkness in my surroundings dissipated into nothingness. It revealed the backdrop of a starry sky. A large, noticeable rift could be seen from the distance. White cracks outlined the farther ends of the fissure. A blinding white film is present in its center.
The moment I looked at it, I “saw” two different worlds. One was made of an extremely familiar atmosphere.
I couldn’t put my fingers on it, but the sensation gave off the same feeling as the Cocoon’s Honkai Energy. The ‘rationalized’ destruction is its greatest feature. Its descent isn’t mindless. It holds a purpose.
As for the latter…
I looked at it again and saw a sight I will never forget. A golden ahoge stood tall amidst her braided long hair. Her emerald-like pupils shone with a resolve. The Sword of Promised Victory in her hand accompanied her to that familiar boulder that changed her fate forever.
