Free Web NovelChapter 145: Divine Retribution
Outside of the Tempest Palace and even further away into the Devil Sea Region where the Tides of Chaos were present. Everything was the same.
Dark clouds hovered around the area, refusing to disperse. The sea churned violently around the whirlpool known as the Tides of Chaos. It was still pouring heavily.
As soon as Tang Yin successfully condensed his 1000th spirit vein, a sharp bolt of red lightning flashed in the heavens. At speeds which could make even Tian Huang frown, the bolt of red lightning speared into the Tides of Chaos, trying to reach Tang Yin.
A loud boom reverberated as soon as the bolt of red lightning hit the Tides of Chaos. The boom travelled across the whole of the south zone!
Every Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator and cultivators with even higher cultivation in the south zone lifted their heads up at this moment. Grim expressions surfaced on their faces.
An old man with wrinkles running so deep on his face that he looked as if he had one foot in the grave standing upon a vibrant sea-green mountain. The mountain radiated dense Qi. The Qi was hundreds of times denser compared to the Spirit Vein’s Tang Yin had ever devoured in the past.
An expression of shock and grimness was present on the old man’s face as he stared into the heavens, the loud boom created by the collision of the bolt of red lightning and Tides of Chaos still reverberated in his ears.
"Divine Retribution... Who or what has caused it to descend?" The old man muttered to himself. This was the thought lingering in the mind of all of the Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators.
When the red bolt of lightning descended upon the Tides of Chaos, a loud boom rang out inside the void where the platform and Tempest Palace were located.
All of the Qi Transformation Realm cultivators were present on the platform. They were transported there after they had passed the first trial by Tian Huang.
They all looked around in shock, the boom created by the bolt of red lightning was akin to a thunderclap in their ears. Intense fear rose in their hearts towards the source of the noise.
Tian Huang’s eyes whipped open, he looked up as if he could see through the Tempest Palace and into the Tides of Chaos. Anger appeared in his eyes.
’Divine Retribution, how dare you damage my Tides of Chaos?’ Tian Huang angrily thought to himself. He could see that the Tides of Chaos had reduced in size by a large margin. It did not look as intimidating or bright as before. The whirlpool was much smaller now, even the Array Formations carved inside of it were damaged to various extents.
The noise created by the collision of the bolt of red lighting known as Divine Retribution and the Tides of Chaos could not penetrate the Tempest Palace. Tang Yin and Scattered Soul Daoist could not hear the loud boom, and neither did they notice anything abnormal.
Scattered Soul Daoist was dragging his old haggard body higher up the Heaven Ascension Peak. He had already reached the 890th step. However, his face showed intense exhaustion and the determination in his eyes was wavering. Clearly, he could not hold on for long.
On the other hand, after condensing the 1000th spirit vein, an indescribable feeling overtook Tang Yin. He felt as if he could shatter the heavens with a single punch. Nevertheless, he knew this feeling was just an illusion, he had not reached such a high level of cultivation yet. This was a feeling that a cultivator would experience when they obtained a newfound strength which was heavily substantial.
Tang Yin did not dwell on this feeling though, he could become addicted if he did so, although it was unlikely. He continued climbing the Heaven Ascension Peak with relative ease.
Every time the pressure made of Spirit Qi descended upon him, he would use the Heaven Devouring Abyss to Devour and convert it into his own Abyss Qi. Like this, Tang Yin was under almost no pressure and was easily climbing the Heaven Ascension Peak.
Now that the 1000th spirit vein was condensed, Tang Yin tried to condense the 1001st spirit vein. To his surprise, he could not. It seemed that 1000 spirit veins were the most a cultivator could condense.
Without any hesitation, Tang Yin rushed into the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit. As he expected, the method to condense a Spirit Flame was now revealed bare before his eyes. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
After careful thought, Tang Yin decided not to create a Spirit Flame right now.
It would be very suspicious if Tang Yin jumped from the 8th stage of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm to the 1st stage of the Qi Transformation Realm. Tian Huang would definitely be able to see this and he most likely would not stand by this time.
Another reason why he decided against creating a Spirit Flame was because he did not know how big of a commotion would be created during his breakthrough. There was even a certain risk of the Heaven Devouring Abyss being exposed.
Now what Tang Yin needed to do was to think of a method to put the Spirit Qi devoured by the Heaven Devouring Abyss from the Heaven Ascension Peak to good use. He could not condense more spirit veins or form a Spirit Flame.
He had to find another useful way to increase his strength. He did not have long to benefit from the Heaven Ascension Peak. All of this would end once he reached the 1000th step.
