“This brat is weird. You have to report to the crown prince. We need to mobilize our forces. We must not let him go!” said Bi Chen with a stern face.
Previously, the Vanishing Shadow Poisonous Crocodile Clan only suspected that Ye Xiwen might be related to E Xiangtian’s death. Right now, they were almost certain that Ye Xiwen must be related to E Xiangtian’s death. Even Bi Chen felt strongly about it too.
This was the only explanation. Despite it being a guess, it was enough reason for them to act.
Was there a need for evidence?
This was a lawless place. After putting Ye Xiwen as a high priority target, even if Ye Xiwen were not the culprit, they would still make it seem so. For them, it was nothing more than taking the life of a peculiar human brat. Nothing big at all.
It befitted their so-called doctrine – They would rather burn the whole village down, rather than letting go of the enemy!
Since Ye Xiwen had this suspicion, then he was already considered dead.
“Brat, you’re courting death. You dare to offend the Vanishing Shadow Poisonous Crocodile Clan. It doesn’t matter anymore whether you are the culprit or not. Most importantly, if you dare to surface from cowering in the dark, death awaits you!” Bi Chen could only return without success. He noticed Ye Xiwen’s speed did not stop accelerating. It had exceeded the range he could perceive.
However, since he had spread the news, the entire Vanishing Shadow Poisonous Crocodile Clan in the sea region would soon be mobilized. As one of the three overlords of the entire Flourished Cloud Sea Region, once the Vanishing Shadow Poisonous Crocodile Clan was fully mobilized, it would be a shocking scene. This matter did not just end with escaping from Bi Chen’s pursuit.
There were still many people who were as depressed as Bi Chen. They all went to hunt Ye Xiwen with different goals, but they failed in the end. They had to come back dejectedly. If they continued the chase, it would be fruitless. After all, they did not know where Ye Xiwen went.
The Scarlet Thunder Gang’s elder was confused. How can a Half-step Transcendent Realm brat achieve such a feat? Did our young leader predict correctly? Something is amiss in the entire matter.
Ye Xiwen accelerated his speed, turning into a stream of light in the sky. Soon, he had flown out for millions of miles. After completely throwing those people away, he was finally relieved.
If the enemies set an ambush when he was challenging the tribulation, it would pose great danger. Heaven’s Retribution should not be underestimated. The enemies’ presence might raise the difficulty, making Lightning Retribution even scarier.
Worse still, it was still possible for true elites to deal with the Retributions while launching offense to Ye Xiwen.
They could contend Heaven’s Retribution with martial instruments, giving them chances to kill Ye Xiwen. If their cultivation surpassed Ye Xiwen a lot, killing Ye Xiwen would be a piece of cake.
Ye Xiwen came to a vast sea region. It was cloudless with conducive wind speed. He took a deep breath and stopped suppressing the active auras in his body. The auras belonging to Half-step Transcendent Realm Late Peak instantly dispersed.
The reaction took place like a hornet’s nest getting stabbed. The Heaven’s Might flitted in an instant. Above the cloudless blue sky, dark clouds began to gather with storms brewing within. The lightning wreaked havoc in the clouds. It quickly condensed over Ye Xiwen. The mighty Heaven’s Might spread across a radius of hundreds of miles.
Immediately, many sea creatures fled. No matter whether they were beasts with or without intelligence, they could feel the mighty Heaven’s Might at this moment. Those who were still quite bestial fled even faster. They might not know the reason, but they reacted quickly by instinct.
In an instant, there were no beasts nor creatures in Ye Xiwen surrounding. The vibrant place became dead silent.
Ye Xiwen took a deep breath. When the Star Beast Avatar passed the Transcendent Realm Retribution, it was already so terrifying. What’s more, he was going through it with his main body, which he believed to be way more robust than his Avatar [1].
“Huala!” In just a moment…
At the moment he started to act, countless lightning fell from the sky; the entire sea region turned into a lightning sea.
The terrifying Heaven’s Might manifested vividly. Everything was transformed into nothingness in this lightning sea, being eradicated completely.
Followed by a heavy downpour, everything was submerged in this lightning sea.
The surrounding seawater evaporated in great intensity. The seawater thinned down by a few layers, with the surrounding seawater frantically replenishing it.
Each lightning strike bombarded Ye Xiwen would emitted strands of cyan smoke from his body. The cyan smoke had enveloped his entire body, making his figure indistinguishable.
Any of these lightning could easily strike a Half-step Transcendent Realm expert to death. But, nothing happened in the face of Ye Xiwen’s physique. The lightning seemed unable to break Ye Xiwen’s defense at all.
But Ye Xiwen knew that this was just the beginning. He activated Tyrant Body Scripture and continuously absorbed the energy imbued within the lightning.
Ye Xiwen’s Tyrant Body Scripture, which had been stagnant for a while, finally progressed. It was advancing slowly towards Tyrant Body Scripture Ninth Level, representing the great mastery level. In other words, Tyrant Body Scripture was approaching its peak. With Tyrant Body Scripture alone, he would not lose to other clans or races known for a superb physique like Dragon Clan and Titan Clan.
As for the Tyrant Body Scripture Tenth Level, Ye Xiwen felt that his deduction progress would take a very long while. After attaining great perfection, his physical body would surpass Dragon Clan and Titan. Only a few of the royal bloodlines could compete with him.
However, the difficulty of achieving that was unimaginable. Even Ye Xiwen had no confidence. It was likely that the Tyrant Body Scripture Ninth Level was the peak of his Tyrant Body Scripture. After all, physical cultivation was different from power realm cultivation. As long as you understand and become proficient, power realm cultivation would progress. However, physical training was completely different. It required continuous stimulation on the body. Even if you understand how to cultivate, you might not be able to succeed.
This was why there were very few tyrannical physique experts. Once they emerged, they would inevitably be an unrivaled existence. Just like Ye Xiwen, it was difficult to meet a proper opponent at the same level because his physical body was strong.
Ye Xiwen intended to cultivate “Tyrant Body Scripture” directly to the Ninth Level in one shot. If he could cultivate to the Ninth Level, it would be easier to challenge Heaven’s Retribution.
He had a hunch that this Heaven’s Retribution would be challenging. The current appetizer was lightning that could easily strike a Half-step Transcendent Realm Late expert to death. Those with physical bodies weaker than Ye Xiwen would be smashed into pieces on the spot.
Things had seemingly gone with Ye Xiwen’s thoughts. Warcry echoed in the sky. The neatly arranged legion composed of Heavenly Lightning Troops appeared unexpectedly in front of Ye Xiwen. Every Heavenly Lightning Troop was at least at Half-step Transcendent Realm Late level. When these Heavenly Lightning Troops all gathered together, they were enough to tremble the world and sweep any force.
The legion was mingled with a large number of Transcendent Realm level experts. Such a terrifying legion occupied the sky. From a distance, it appeared like a yellow torrent, gushing out violently from the clouds.
At the moment this Heavenly Lightning Legion appeared, the lightning all over the sky disappeared. They all morphed into lightning weapons in eighteen types [2]. It fell from the sky like rain.
Ye Xiwen morphed a colossal hand into the sky. He grasped towards the weapon spewed in the sky, turning them into a mass of energy, and he quickly absorbed it.
He could sense that once these violent energies entered the body, [Tyrant Body Scripture] would tame them into usable energy. These energies all surged into the Mini Universe in his Dantian.
He directly met the first requisite for Tyrant Body Scripture ascending to the Ninth Level without activating Observing Person Scripture.
He knew very well that the Tyrant Body Scripture’s ascension to the Ninth Level played a significant role in challenging Heaven’s Retribution. Once he succeeds, his chances in challenging Heaven’s Retribution would soar.
Many lightning weapons spew in the sky. However, even if every weapon were bombarded on Ye Xiwen’s body, it would only produce metal clanging sounds and strands of cyan smoke. There was no way to inflict further damage to Ye Xiwen.
Ye Xiwen absorbed the energy little by little… Tyrant Body Scripture Ninth Level!
Ye Xiwen gave all he got to breakthrough. He activated Tyrant Body Scripture to full potential. Since he was at the peak of Tyrant Body Scripture Eighth Level, he was approaching ascension already. Right now, it was at the last gap to attain what he wanted. Just a little bit more to step into the Tyrant Body Scripture Ninth Level.
Right now, Heaven’s Retribution provided Ye Xiwen the power to overcome the barrier to the next level.
*Crack!*
Amid lightning, Ye Xiwen’s bones were vibrating with his muscles morphing continuously, seemingly ascending in an extreme direction.
Tyrant Body Scripture Ninth Level!
[1] In the Eastern Fantasy storyline, the ascension process becomes more difficult, the stronger the challenger is.
