Asura Sovereign XIV Page 7

  Here, at the deepest underground section of the Lightning God’s cultivation dwelling, laid a spiritual vein that resembled a giant lightning dragon with a length of several hundred li!

  Ch.881

  Looking at the spiritual vein resembling a lightning dragon in front of him, Huwang Xiao’s delight was evident in his shining eyes.

  This spiritual vein had been formed from countless years of accumulated Divine World spiritual energy!

  The lightning spiritual energy contained within this spiritual vein was no doubt a treasure among treasures, whose quality was many times higher compared to the sacred grade immortal spirit stones that Huwang Xiao could currently condense.

  In terms of preciousness, this lightning dragon spiritual vein was worth many times more than the Lightning God’s corpse.

  Both of Huwang Xiao’s hands extended forward, forming a powerful suction force that rushed toward the lightning dragon spiritual vein.

  All of a sudden, that giant spiritual vein shook, causing lightning energy to swirl angrily and pillars of lightning to strike down, dispersing Huwang Xiao’s suction force.

  “Eh?!” Huwang Xiao was startled. His suction force could even uproot a divine mountain with ease, yet it was actually scattered by this lightning dragon spiritual vein?

  This spiritual vein’s intelligence was quite developed and it possessed strength rivaling an average Fifth Order Highgod Realm master.

  Immediately, Huwang Xiao’s lighting godforce churned and he issued a loud bellow, once again attempting to absorb the lightning dragon spiritual vein.

  A second later, that massive underground spiritual vein was slowly lifted up.

  The lightning dragon spiritual vein was shaking more violently, showing signs of escaping Huwang Xiao’s control at any moment. Seeing this, Huwang Xiao hurriedly activated his Archdevil Supreme Godhead and Holy Dragon Supreme Godhead, causing his godforce to surge and the suction force to increase. No matter how violently that lightning dragon spiritual vein struggled to escape, it couldn't free itself from Huwang Xiao’s hands.

  In the end, Huwang Xiao managed to extract the lightning dragon spiritual vein and put it into the Heavenly Mountain, then he suppressed it underground using the Heavenly Mountain’s central formation, right below the Heavenly God’s mansion.

  When all of this was completed, Huwang Xiao finally exhaled in relief.

  There was slightly over a month left until the end of the tournament, which didn't leave him much time, hence he decided to refine the lightning dragon spiritual vein later.

  After Huwang Xiao left the underground Lightning God Palace, he called for You Wuye and both of them exited the Lightning God’s cultivation dwelling space.

  As for what other herbs or spiritual fruits remained inside this place, Huwang Xiao was too lazy to go around searching for them, thinking, ‘I'll just leave them for other disciples.’ Since he took a big portion of the meat pie, it was only polite to leave some crumbs to the others.

  Coming out from the spatial entrance, he noticed that the disciples who had been guarding it were long gone. From there on, Huwang Xiao did not restrict You Wuye’s freedom, allowing him to go hunt lightning beasts alone. He was very much aware that You Wuye wouldn't be able to kill even a single lightning beast if he followed Huwang Xiao. With his scary hunting speed, You Wuye wouldn't even have a chance to attack.

  After You Wuye left, Huwang Xiao activated the lightning element godforce from his Holy Dragon Supreme Godhead, once again gathering a giant lightning cloud. At the same time, violent tornadoes emerged around him. All the lightning beasts in his path were sucked into the lightning cloud, destroyed, and had their life essence absorbed, converted into Huwang Xiao’s godforce.

  Huwang Xiao’s points began to rise at an alarming speed, leaving the second-ranked Wangu Yanhui further in the dust.

  One hour, two hours, one day, two days…!

  Following Huwang Xiao’s rising points, his strength also continued to improve.

  Although he was moving aimlessly, one of the good things about the Overflowing Lightning World was that there were quite a lot of treasures. Along the way, he found several stalks of three-million-year-old medicinal herbs.

  Huwang Xiao swallowed all of them, turning them into a part of his godforce.

  Half a month later, his cultivation that had been stuck at peak late-Second Order Highgod Realm finally advanced to early Third Order.

  On this particular day, Huwang Xiao was standing in the air above a primitive stone forest, watching a group of disciples flying toward his direction from afar; it was a large group of sixty-seven disciples.

  Looking at these disciples’ robes, Huwang Xiao snickered, for this large group was made up of disciples from the Yelu and Beitang Families.

  The Yelu Family had several hundred disciples participating in the tournament. Even though Huwang Xiao had killed Yelu Tianfeng, Yelu Xin, and other Yelu Family disciples some time ago, there were still a lot of Yelu Family disciples scattered around in the Overflowing Lightning World, as were the Beitang Family disciples.

  “It’s Huwang Xiao!”

  A Yelu Family disciples suddenly shrieked. When the other Yelu and Beitang Family disciples finally saw Huwang Xiao, their faces became grim with fear.

  By now, it was no secret in the Overflowing Lightning World that Huwang Xiao had killed Yelu Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji. To these disciples from the Yelu and Beitang Families, Huwang Xiao was a walking nightmare.

  Even without thinking, all of them turned tail and ran for their lives.

  Huwang Xiao snorted coldly watching this. Godforce flowed out and the hurricanes around him enlarged, spinning at a horrifying rate, which swallowed all of the disciples who were attempting to run.

  “Huwang Xiao, don’t kill me!”

  “No, don’t kill me!”

  Both families’ disciples screamed in despair, but it was all in vain.

  Streaks of lightning struck down from the giant lightning cloud akin to divine punishment. Just like the lighting beasts Huwang Xiao hunted, these disciples died under the lighting strikes and his Archdevil Supreme Godhead would devour the life essence left behind, which was in turn purified by his Infinite Buddha Supreme Godhead.

  Not a single person managed to escape, all of them were turned into Huwang Xiao’s godforce.

  Once again, Hung Xiao’s points drastically increased.

  After a month had passed, there were only two days until the end of the tournament. At this time, Huwang Xiao’s points were twice as many as Wangu Yanhui’s!

  Out on the Aeon Square, everyone had grown numb from the initial shock staring at Huwang Xiao’s name that was as brilliant as a million tiny shining suns.

  The Azure Dragon Institute Principal Qin Yi stood there. Ever since Huwang Xiao rose to the first place one month ago, he did not move an inch. He just stared fixedly at the name on the top of the list.

  “Master, should we return to the institute?” Ceng Chu inquired cautiously, his heart filled with apprehension.

  Ceng Chu was aware that his Master has been grasping at the last straw of hope in this one month’s time, desperately wishing that Huwang Xiao would fall like Fang Chu, Yelu Tianfeng, and others, forever disappearing from the ranking list.

  At this point, with only two days remaining, this wish had virtually no hope of being granted.

  No response came from Qin Yi.

  Ceng Chu grew more anxious watching his Master. Huwang Xiao would be coming out in another two days from the Overflowing Lightning World, delaying here was equivalent to waiting for death.

  Just as Ceng Chu wanted to persuade his Master again, Qin Yi who had not moved for a whole month abruptly turned around and strode out from the square without another word.

  Ceng Chu was stunned at first, then he and the rest of the Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elders quickly chased after him.

  In another location on the Aeon Square, both Yelu and Beitang Family members were seething with
killing intent.

  “Only two more days.” Yelu Family Patriarch Yelu Chufei mumbled under his breath. He already decided, the instant Huwang Xiao appeared in front of his eyes, he would kill him at all cost, including the consequences of breaking the Eternal City’s rules and offending the Wangu Clan.

  ‘Huwang Xiao must die!!’

  Ch.882

  The remaining two days passed by in a blink, and the curtain finally fell on this Highgod Advancement Tournament in which numerous galaxies’ top talents participated.

  From the Overflowing Lightning World, all the surviving disciples were being sent out in batches. The first batch comprised of disciples ranked below ten million.

  This term’s Highgod Advancement Tournament had over seventeen million disciples from various galaxies, however, when the disciples ranked below the ten million appeared on the square, there were merely eight hundred thousand or so!

  Meaning to say, below the ranks of ten million, more than six million disciples had lost their lives!

  This amount was staggering!

  The second batch being transferred back were disciples ranked between one to ten million. Subsequent were the ones ranked between ten thousand to one million, the next batch was from three thousand to ten thousand.

  The fifth batch transferred out was made up of disciples ranked between one thousand to three thousand, whereas in the final sixth batch were disciples in the top one thousand.

  Thus, Huwang Xiao, Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, Zhou Yao, and other top disciples were sent out in this sixth batch.

  When the fifth batch of disciples appeared on the square, all eyes were fixed on the transmission array at the square center. The square was unusually silent, as if everyone was holding their breaths.

  Finally, the transmission array shone brightly, and not far away, the Yelu Family Patriarch’s fists subconsciously tightened. His momentum rose to the peak, killing intent swirling in his eyes.

  A moment later, the transmission array’s bright light flashed and disappeared, revealing a large group of disciples. These were none other than Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, Zhou Yao, You Wuye, Lu Dongwei, and others.

  “Father, that’s him!” Yelu Tianhao suddenly shouted as he pointed at a figure in the center of the transmission array.

  Yelu Chufei’s eyes needled onto that figure, letting out a rumbling roar. His body spun into a giant hurricane, flying straight at his target, exuding a suffocating murderous aura.

  “Huwang Xiao, go die!!” Yelu Chufei’s eyes were scarlet with blood veins.

  Overpowering fist force howled in the air, creating a dent in space, startling other masters present on the square. Numerous pairs of eyes watched that giant fist force almost tear through space and arrive at the transmission array area.

  Wangu Shuo and the other Wangu Clan Elders were stunned. But, just as they wanted to block the attacker, there was someone faster than them, blocking Yelu Chufei’s fist with a palm.

  In an instant, that overpowering punch disappeared into nothing before everyone’s eyes, and Yelu Chufei was knocked back as if he was struck by a heavy object, forcing him to crash down right in front of the other Yelu Family members.

  The sudden turn of event made the crowd’s hearts miss a beat.

  Gazes slowly turned toward the person who stopped Yelu Chufei’s whelming attack and sent him flying. It was a thin old man with wispy silvery hair and narrow eyes. One could even see lightning in the depths of his pupils when he blinked.

  When the Wangu Clan Elders saw this person, all of them hurried before the old man and saluted respectfully, “Greetings, Ancestral Uncle!”

  Ancestral Uncle!

  Hearing the twelve Wang Clan Elders’ greeting toward the thin silver-haired old man, the crowd stiffened, their hearts palpitating.

  It was known that the Wangu Clan had two great masters. One of them was their Wangu Clan Ancestor, Wangu Chen, and the other was an old man named Wangu Mieqing. All Wangu Clan Elders and disciples would greet this person as ‘Ancestral Uncle’.

  This old man in front of them was undoubtedly Wangu Mieqing.

  Wangu Mieqing nodded slightly at the group of Wangu Clan Elders, signaling them to stand up before his piercing gaze fell onto Yelu Chufei, “Kid, seeing that you’re Yelu Xiong’s descendant, I will spare your life today. But if there’s a next time, don’t blame me for disregarding old sentiments!”

  Yelu Xiong was the Yelu Family’s Patriarch two generations ago.

  Yelu Chufei suppressed the terror in his heart, nodding in a hurry: “Many thanks for Senior’s grace in sparing junior’s life.”

  Wangu Mieqing looked away from the Yelu Family group, his piercing gaze sweeping over the cultivators around the square, his voice solemn, “Regardless of who you are, if you dare to break our Wangu Clan’s rules, you will die!”

  The word ‘die’ echoed like rolling waves in the square, striking the soul seas of all cultivators. The Wangu Clan disciples had a solemn expression on their faces.

  Certain galaxies’ masters that had the same intention as Yelu Chufei nipped the thought in the bud.

  With that said, Wangu Mieqing’s figure turned into a streak of lightning, disappearing from these people’s view.

  Right at this time, a large tear appeared in the sky above. Rays of light seeped through as it grew larger, sprinkling motes of light onto the square, accompanied by an emerging overwhelming aura.

  The cultivators in all directions watched the space tear with awe and trepidation, from which a tall figure enshrouded in an aureate light appeared in front of everyone

  When this tall figure stepped out from the space tear, the countless bright lights around his body morphed into ancient divine beasts one after another.

  “I’m a messenger from the Divine World overseeing this term’s Highgod Advancement Tournament. First place winner of the tournament, please step onto the Highgod Advancement Podium!” The tall figure obscured from view by the light shrouding him spoke. Although his voice was low, it sounded like roaring thunder to the surrounding people, projecting a superior aura. With a casual point of his finger, a radiant golden Highgod Advancement Podium appeared above the Aeon Square.

  Seeing this, Huwang Xiao had to put aside the matter of Yelu Chufei’s assassination attempt, flying out from the transmission array and landing on the golden light podium.

  “WHAT?!! He’s Huwang Xiao?!” Wangu Shuo and Wangu Changqing’s eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when they saw Huwang Xiao’s face.

  Before, both of them assumed that the two people had the same name of ‘Huwang Xiao’. Never had they imagined that the Huwang Xiao who snatched the first place on the ranking list would be the same black-haired young man they made a bet on.

  In the next second, they discovered another thing; Huwang Xiao’s cultivation had advanced to peak early-Third Order Highgod Realm!

  “What’s the matter?” Wangu Zhi couldn’t help asking, noticing Wangu Shuo and Wangu Changqing’s dramatic expressions.

  Wangu Shuo’s Adam’s apple stirred, squeezing a smile, “This Huwang Xiao is the kid we made our bet on.”

  Wangu Zhi was too shocked to react for a second, then blurted out in disbelief, “Don’t joke, didn’t you guys said that black-haired kid was just a perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm?”

  “This… we also don’t know what’s going on ah.” Wangu Shuo mumbled.

  If someone told them that Huwang Xiao broke through to peak early Third Order Highgod Realm from perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm in a short two years, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten into pig heads.

  At the same time, that tall figure high in the sky observed Huwang Xiao, his divine sense probing him up and down, giving praise, “Not bad, you’re really not bad, you were able to win the tournament’s first place relying on your peak early Third Order Highgod Realm strength. Your talent is also very good. Even placed among the younger generation of the Divine World’s prominent sects, you can be consider
ed as one of the highly talented juniors.”

  ‘I can only be considered highly talented?’ Huwang Xiao inwardly muttered. At this point in time, he had completely concealed the three supreme godheads above his soul sea, and in their place was a top rank ten godhead.

  This was a special ability that Huwang Xiao recently discovered about his Archdevil Supreme Godhead. After devouring some else’s godhead, it could disguise itself as that godhead.

  And the appearance of the godhead floating above his soul sea at this moment belonged to Xiang Mingzhi. Therefore, when that Divine World messenger’s divine sense probed Huwang Xiao, what it ‘saw’ was that top rank ten godhead.

  Having a top rank ten godhead could only be considered as highly talented amongst the younger generation of the Divine World’s prominent sects.

  “This is your reward.” The Divine World messenger then said. With a wave of his hand, a godhead several meters in diameter, emitting a soft blue glow floated down to Huwang Xiao.

  Heavenly God’s godhead!

  Fervent eyes stared fixedly at the godhead in Huwang Xiao’s hands.

  Ch.883

  Beside the Heavenly God’s godhead, there was also an enormous egg with tiny flickering lightning patterns on its surface.

  One could feel the beating pulse from the egg, which caused even the surrounding space to ripple.

  This was a lightning beast egg, possessing a top ranked bloodline even in the Divine World!

  The spectating cultivators gasped for breath with gleaming desire in their eyes.

  After the lightning beast egg, a token inscribed with Divine World symbols appeared in front of Huwang Xiao. to the token was a Divine World cultivation technique manual, glowing with an alluring light.

  , one hundred sacred grade immortal spirit stones!

  One hundred Heavenly God Pills refined by Heavenly Gods!

  One hundred All-spirit Divine Fruits!

  Before many feverish and greedy gazes coming from the cultivators in the square, Huwang Xiao collected all of this into his Asura Ring with a wave of his hand.
