*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*The tribulation cloud in the sky grew to a staggering size of three hundred meters in one go!Yang Su gulp nervously as he flipped over his palm and took out the wooden sword.The previous tribulation in the Outer Academy was three hundred meters as well but that was when it peaked. This one reached that size despite just appearing, anyone could tell this tribulation was something that no ordinary Sea Expansion Realm cultivator could survive.But this was heaven's way of saying, ‘since you decide to break the norm and have strength of this magnitude in the Sea Expansion Realm, it is only fair if you face a tribulation befitting of that power.’Even Foundation Construction Realm cultivators would flinch back upon seeing such heavenly fury gathered in one place.Xi Shen’s body floated to the side but was still using his Divine Will to keep Yang Su in the air. It would also act as a protective shield if he were to falter when confronting the tribulation.Normal
As that weird fourth-wall-breaking thought flashed past Xi Shen’s mind, a loud rumble echoed in the sky and the clouds increased to five hundred meters. The barrage of lightning has stopped and it seemed as if the Heavenly Tribulation was charging up to send out another tribulation.Xi Shen’s eyes narrowed.“What kind of tribulation would the Heavens would use against Yang Su I wonder.”Xi Shen mumbled under his breath as he watch the clouds curiously.*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*The void beneath the cloud suddenly shattered and out came over a dozen dragon-serpent-like creatures made of the Fire Element.Xi Shen was taken aback by the sudden appearance of these creatures, but his eyes went wider when the void tremble and shatter once again to have more of those creatures appear, but this time they were made up of the Water Element.“So that’s how it is! Interesting, really interesting, even the tribulation for cultivators is specifically tailored for that cultivator. Yang Su had created bot
The moon hung in the sky as Xi Shen walked with Yang Su up to Fei Yin and Fang Chen. Fei Yin turn towards Yang Su and said, “Brother Su, congratulations on your breakthrough.” Fang Chen nodded and gave a thumbs-up as well, but he was secretly feeling shocked in his heart. The aura Yang Su was giving off after his breakthrough was extremely different from before. He didn’t know how to explain it but compared to him who was in the Sea Expansion Realm, Yang Su’s aura felt abnormally stronger. Fang Chen wasn’t one to feel jealous of anyone or think himself to be inferior, but it still irked him that despite just entering the Sea Expansion Realm Yang Su felt powerful enough to possibly go toe to toe with him. ‘How can he be so powerful? He’s two to three years younger than me but he’s caught up with me in cultivation. No, even among the hidden geniuses I have seen within the Academy his talents could be compared to them or even surpass some of them. He only took less than a year to reac
Upon hearing the mention of their eldest brother their expressions showed reverence as well as absolute dread.“But why would eldest brother say something like that, what’s so special about that village?”That disciple was the one who was battling Fei Yin. They all knew of the close relationship between Gu Mo and their eldest brother so they weren’t surprised he would reveal the location of such a precious treasure trove. But they were puzzled by his request to not hurt the village.As they moved through the forest Gu Mo said, “This is the village our great elder brother grew up in, and this is where his family lives.”“...??!!!”The three demonic disciples went wide-eyed when they heard that.“So it was true, our eldest brother was found by our Clan Leader in the mortal world. To think we actually get to visit the place he once called home.’ That male disciple then turned to the pale face female disciple and said, “You better pray eldest brother doesn’t find out you had wanted to des
When Yang Su returned outside after leading his mother inside, he notice that the atmosphere of the group was strange. He looked at Xi Shen questioningly but Xi Shen only shook his head as if to say it was nothing.Bai Xiaofung who had time to calm down finally noticed the change in Yang Su’s aura, and asked curiously, “Brother Su, how come you seem so different. Did something happen to you? It feels like you have become stronger.”When Fang Chen and Fei Yin heard Bai Xiaofung’s words, they looked at each other before turning their gazes to Xi Shen.Bai Xiaofung was some distance away in the village so he wasn’t able to see what they had witnessed, Yang Su challenging the Heavenly Tribulation.They looked to Xi Shen as they wondered if this was something that Bai Xiaofung should know about. After all, he wasn’t like them that would be under Xi Shen’s command in the future, he was the second son of the Bai Clan Leader, and the Bai Clan itself might still be under the Li Clan’s rule but
Hearing this bombshell of a news suddenly being dropped, Bai Xiaofung’s eyes widen uncontrollably before his expression went through several changes. Somehow, he had somewhat forgotten about Xi Shen being the second prince and the authority he had. Bai Xiaofung was thus treating him like he would with someone of a lower status. It was just that since he had met Xi Shen, he hadn't once acted as a normal prince would. Some could even say for a prince of the Li Imperial Family, he was very uneducated in noble customs and norms. Allowing Yang Su to address him as elder brother, treating his subordinates more like friends than anything else, this behavior was very abnormal to anyone who saw. Bai Xiaofung had found it weird as well but didn't voice it as he appreciated that Xi Shen didn't act stuck up like a few of the Li Family members he had met before did. However, at this moment, Bai Xiaofung had to snap back to reality as Xi Shen was showing the temperament of a prince by appointing Y
With a stem in his mouth, Xi Shen was leaning against a tree under the shade. The sun was in full swing sending its dreaded heat down in waves, but the sign of the weather becoming more rainy due to the end of the year was getting more obvious. Dark clouds could be seen forming in the sky.While looking up at the sky, Xi Shen moved the stem to a corner of his lips and asked, “Yang Su, Fei Yin, do you think I’m too arrogant?”“Thud!”Yang Su swung his training sword against Fei Yin’s own before he turned to Xi Shen and said, “No Master I don’t think you are.”Fei Yin nodded his head in agreement and reiterated, “I don’t think young master is as well.”Hearing those answers, Xi Shen twirled the stem in his mouth before he looked at Yang Su and Fei Yin then said, “I’m only going to say this once, but I don’t need a bunch of yes men who only know how to follow orders. I want you guys to have your own opinion, and not be afraid to question my decisions and actions. I alone I’m not infallib
Xi Shen would ponder on this some more, and if it was truly impossible to overcome this bottleneck for whatever reason, he would reluctantly enter the Sea Expansion Realm. After all, he couldn’t slow down his cultivation due to his obsessive personality to do everything perfectly.While these thoughts floated around Xi Shen’s head, he saw the girl in disguise coming to sit beside him as an attendant would.It was during his seclusion that he sensed her entering their courtyard. He was initially shocked that someone was so daring, but after recognizing the techniques of the Zhi Family he realize it wasn’t the Bai Clan or the other Clan sending someone to spy on him.He was still in the process of recruiting his six Faction members, and after his display at the Battle Arena, the other Faction within the Sword Pavilion was surely taking note of him.Directing his attention to the girl, Xi Shen asked, “Did my mother put you up to this.”Xi Shen wouldn’t be surprised if it was her doing af
So, that's the end of Book One."..."Are you mad?"..."Of course you are, I'm sorry."Fuck you, Author..."Wah! I'm really sorry!!*start groveling and begging for forgiveness.*For those of you who haven't seen it in the last chapter(it's not like I didn't put it in the title.) I made the decision to end Book One here, right on the edge of a massive cliff... don't kill me haha, I swear I'll write Book Two.Oh, did you see the title of Book Two? If not here it is again... BOOK TWO: War Of Continents... coming soon.I always intended to split this novel into separate books, but I never planned on stopping Book One here. At first, I made the decision to go on hiatus, but then as I read over the last few chapters I realized this was somewhat of a good place to end Book One... please don't kill me.For all the readers who have reached this point... thank you.I've been writing this book for over a year now. Arguably I haven't posted much in the last three months, but we don't talk about t
When Gu Min landed in front of him, Yang Su stood there staring at him with a blank expression while tears ran down his cheeks.“What, you won't even come running to hug me after not seeing me for so long? You always did when we were little. Or have you grown too big now? You’re almost as tall as I am.”Gu Min said this jokingly, but Yang Su could only lower his head and began wiping his tears.Gu Min walked up to him and hugged him.“It’s okay, why are you crying?”“I-I thought you died because of me. And Mom and Dad, they…”“Did they blame you?”A sad expression appeared on Gu Min’s face, but Yang Su shook his head.“No, after they thought you died they wouldn’t let me out of their sights. It's because of you that I couldn’t even set foot outside of the house.”Gu Min cracked a smile when he heard his little brother’s words.“I’m sorry I didn’t come home, I-”“It’s fine.”Yang Su suddenly said cutting off Gu Min.“As long as you’re fine I don’t care if I never see you again, I just
Ling Tian was in the sky scanning the crowd of disciples down below.His heart was filled with both anger and frustration.Soon, his gaze stopped on a figure that was trying to blend into the crowd as much as possible.But despite the hood hiding their appearance, Ling Tian knew exactly who this person was.In a fit of rage and worry, he bolted toward this person.On the ground, Li Shen looked at Yang Su and asked.“Yang Su, what do you mean, is that person your older brother?”Everyone in the group heard this and they all turned to look at Yang Su.Yang Su nodded and said.“He looks slightly different, but I’m sure that’s him.”While Xian was smiling off to the side, Mu Fan glanced at Yang Su’s brother in the air and scowled.“His hair is ever redder than yours, how revolting.”Jun frowned and elbowed Mu Fan to shut up.As Yang Su continued to look at his brother he started to become more agitated.He was skeptical of Xian’s words before but now that he saw his brother he was overcom
Mu Fan placed everyone down before they all glared at Xian.Xian shrugged his shoulders in response.Jun was about to comment on Xian being here, but Li Shen placed a hand on his shoulder.“Look after Lu Yue for me.”Hearing this, Jun turned to look at Lu Yue before hurrying over.Fei Yin hurried over as well, it looked like she had a few superficial wounds he was able to heal.Li Shen then looked at Xian and asked.“What’s the point of you joining? You seem to have a group of your own.”“Well, that doesn’t mean I can’t join yours right?”Li Shen went silent for a moment and then said.“I’ll think about it. For now, we should focus on why we were teleported here.”Xian turned to look at the front of the hall where a throne was before saying with narrowed eyes.“Isn’t it obvious my other half? Someone wants us here.”Hearing Xian’s words, everyone in the group had their expressions change.They suddenly had a bad feeling rise in their hearts. One that Mu Fan long had.“Master…?”Li She
“D-Damn it, what is happening now?!”Mu Fan cried out as he saw his fingers fading away.Li Shen looked over at him and then down at his own hand to see his fingers were fading away as well, and at a rapid pace at that.Li Shen then looked towards the sky to see that after shattering, what was revealed was a clear blue sky.The shattered fragments of the previous crimson sky were still hovering in the air, reflecting the blue sky above and the Fiery Dimension below at the same time.Looking away from this scene, Li Shen bent down to pick up Lu Yue and carry her bridal style. He then turned to Mu Fan and said.“It’s okay, we’re being teleported to the Hidden Fragmented Realm. Hold onto me.”Mu Fan hurriedly got up and place his overly large palms on Li Shen’s shoulders.Mu Fan then watched in curiosity as a strange black light with starry light in it spread from Li Shen’s body to cover both him and Lu Yue.“What kind of ability is this?”Mu Fan said looking around. It almost seemed as
“Stop being so dramatic, I barely touched you.”Li Shen said as he gave Mu Fan who was on the ground a cursory glance.Mu Fan wined.“It is you. Bastard, do you want to get hit in the head and see how it feels?”Mu Fan then glared at Li Shen, but in response, Li Shen merely rolled his eyes and then turn back to check on an unconscious Lu Yue.Mu Fan also turned to her and asked.Is she going to be alright?”“If we can get to Jun in time, then everything will be fine.”“Is that why you let those bastards get away?”Mu Fan said as he watch Gu Jin and Shiming fly away with the rest of the Fire Empire’’s disciples and Ming Clan members.Li Shen shifted his head to look in their direction before turning back to Lu Yue.“There will come a time when they can longer run away from me, but that time hasn’t come yet. Rather, you should be healing your injuries before thinking about fighting in your condition.”“It merely scratches, I’m fine!”Mu Fan said confidentially, but Li Shen suddenly saw
“You fucker, I’ll definitely kill you for this!!”Shiming’s face was deathly pale, but intense hatred was evident in his eyes.“Huh? How are you going to do that when you’re going to see King Yama?”Mu Fan kicked Shiming’s severed arm that held his saber to the side as he walked towards him.Shiming manage to stop his bleeding and he held his stump as he slowly got up.A crazed look was in his eyes that matched Mu Fan’s own.Mu Fan didn’t care and he rushed to lop off his head like he promised he would.He appeared in front of Shiming and did a horizontal slash.However, a crazed Shiming suddenly grasp the void and a red illusory blade appeared in his remaining hand.Swoosh!Shiming swung it towards Mu Fan’s incoming saber and a Blade Energy no weaker than Mu Fan’s own swept out.BANG!A loud explosion occurred that caused the ground beneath the two to form a massive crater.Shiming was seen flying out of the dust that had risen in the area.Even when he called on his own Blade Will h
Shiming wasn’t in a hurry as he flew over to where Mu Fan was.Previously when Mu Fan had reached this location and realized he had found Lu Yue, he didn’t hesitate to start hacking.Now laying around him were numerous bloody corpses of the Fire Empire Disciples. But of course, there were also disciples who came from various small Sects that were transported here with Lu Yue. A few disciples in the group Mu Fan came with had died too.Mu Fan frowned at this sight.Something didn’t feel right to him. He loved hacking these fuckers for what they were doing, but this type of massacre irked him.It’s as if it was all planned.Mu Fan didn’t know, but he could vaguely sense something was wrong.As Mu Fan was feeling repulsed by this massacre, Shiming’s voice echoed behind him.“Why do I always have to deal with you?”Mu Fan slowly turned to see Shiming land not too far away from him. His eyes narrowed.“You don’t have to worry about that for too long. Once I lop off your head then you never
Gu Jin would send out a fist or a palm strike towards Lu Yue and she would counter it with her Sword Technique.However, she would be blown back and injured every time.After a few more of this, Lu Yue realized that she was getting further away from the battle.Gu Jin had purposely brought them here.“Are you just now realizing the situation you’re in?”Gu Jin said with a laugh.Lu Yue had fallen to the ground and as she slowly got up, Gu Jin’s gaze roamed over her slightly disheveled body.It didn’t take a genius to understand what was going on.However, Lu Yue seemed unphased despite the blood at the corner of her lips and was even weak to the point where she had to lean on her sword for support.Looking at Gu Jin, she said.“And it seems you haven’t realized the situation you're in yet.”Upon hearing that, Gu Jin frowned.However, a moment later his expression changed.Inside his body, he sensed several strands of frigid energy slowly circulating in his meridians.If it weren’t for
