In the Lei Zhe Continent, the Leizhe Celestial Race’s magnates walked out after hearing his voice. Zhong Yue looked around and sensed the presence of numerous experts coming from the outer Lei Zhe Galaxy that seemed to have been sent by Realm Monarch Lei Zhe to keep an eye on the Lei Zhe Galaxy.
But this time, when he entered Lei Zhe Galaxy using his other methods, not even the soldiers garrisoned outside were alerted.
Besides, there were countless planets formed by thunder and lightning within the Lei Zhe Galaxy and these planets came together in numerous formations. With these formations, no one was able to peer into the depths of this galaxy, meaning that after entering this galaxy, no matter what he did, no one from the outside would be alerted.
“Cousin, you have returned so fast. Does this means that you are confident that you will succeed?”
The old clan master walked out with a shivering body; seven years after their last meeting, this old man had grown even older and the Dao and energy within his body started to fade.
He did not have much longer left.
And this was the end to all and only the innate gods could jump out from the cycle of life and death as they have achieved immortality.
“No, I can’t guarantee anything.”
Zhong Yue greeted the old clan master and said, “But I should try no matter what. I will ascend into a god even if I fail.”
The old clan master nodded and was puzzled after seeing Yi Wanjun dressed up as a man, but he did not ask and said, “Come with me.”
“Before that, I have one request. Can clan master have someone make arrangements for this lady here?” said Zhong Yue.
The old clan master then had someone bring Yi Wanjun into the sacred ground for cultivation and when he brought Zhong Yue to the sacred palace, he opened the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm and said, “Cousin, I have one request.”
Zhong Yue who was about to enter Lei Zhe Realm stopped. He was surprised at the old clan master making a request; with his low level, he probably couldn’t fulfill the old clan master’s request.
“Please, clan master.”
With a serious expression, the old clan master said, “My death is near, I can feel it. The Lei Zhe Galaxy is the last pure land of the Leizhe Celestial Race and it must not be infiltrated by the outsiders! However, those ill-hearted outsiders have always been trying to get their hands in our power. After my death, they will definitely invade us. I hope that you’ll be there when the time comes to help defend the final paradise of my Leizhe Celestial Race.”
With a nod, Zhong Yue said seriously before he walked into the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm, “I will! do whatever it takes!”
In the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm, Zhong Yue walked into the air until he reached the 48th level. Last time, he ran into the Desolate Lightning in this level and he almost had his soul evaporated by the Desolate Lightning.
But now, with the Pure Yang Dao Fruit he consumed and the difficulty he went through in the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, he had awakened almost 50 percent of his Fuxi bloodline. After the battle with the evil being and the [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] taught to him by the last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch, he was confident in passing through the Desolate Lightning Lei Zhe!
In the 48th level, a Desolate Lightning struck down from the skies but Zhong Yue did not move an inch as he allowed the Desolate Lightning struck onto him. The lightning burned his flesh, leaving a wound at least two inches deep.
The wound, however, healed with visible speed and not a scar was left on him.
I have yet achieve the innate body but I can still overcome this level with my current body easily.
Zhong Yue did not rush things but instead went on to capture the Desolate Lightning, melting them with the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]. After being trapped within the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror for 30 billion years, he had cultivated this art into a tremendously high level, bestowing him a very deep understanding of the Six Paths Reincarnation.
Thus, the 48th level Lei Zhe was nothing to him anymore, but since he knew that his body was far from evolving into the innate body, he did not rush things and he enhanced his body with the Desolate Lightning.
Thunder roared and lightning howled as Zhong Yue bathed himself in them, swallowing one after another Desolate Lightning from time to time before he enjoyed the thunder and lightning bath.
A month time later, the Desolate Lightning ceased to leave any marks on his body anymore.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue moved; he cast an avatar that turned him into a giant and with his mouth opened, he devoured the Desolate Lightning within the 48th level Lei Zhe!
Thunder roared and rumbled within his body for ten days until it eventually stopped.
He then entered the 49th level Lei Zhe.
This level posed no threat to him as well, thus, he repeated the same thing again, bathing himself in the thunder pool for a month and devouring the Desolate Lightning.
From then on, each level became a cultivation sacred ground for him to cultivate and temper himself even further.
His body grew ever stronger and the thunder and lightning he encountered continued to intensify but still fell short of leaving any injuries on his body.
A few years later, Zhong Yue stepped foot on the 70th level and this was when Xin Huo warned, “Brat Yue, beware of the thunder and lighting here. They are no longer the Desolate Lightning and Innate Lightning Qi, but the Origin Celestial Lightning, one of the strongest lightning and thunder!”
Upon entering this level, Zhong Yue finally felt the pressure. The power of the Origin Celestial Lightning was leagues above that of the Desolate Lightning and Innate Lightning Qi’s league. While it possessed destructive force, it also contained a sliver of life essence.
Zhong Yue struggled to press forward in this level, but half a year later, he finally entered the 71st level, which he still managed to get through.
From then on, in each level, the difficulty of getting through skyrocketed. The time needed to clear a level had now prolonged to at least half a year. But eventually, he had reached the 80th level.
Xin Huo once told him that even he himself failed to reach the 80th level. It had to be a young genius who had the potential to become a Heavenly Monarch succeed.
At this time, Zhong Yue’s body inched closer to the innate body. As his body strength intensified, the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] in his body became a furnace that burned forever and his Yuan Shen was in it, bestowing him with energy that was strong enough to destroy a world!
Now, the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] in his body felt like there was a blazing red sun hidden in his body!
“What is in the 80th level?”
Zhong Yue murmured and after recollecting his mind, he looked around only to see an Innate Celestial Dragon floating in front of him.
It was a living Innate Celestial Dragon!
The Innate Celestial Dragon then turned into his human form, which appeared to be a young man with dragon head and human body. He stood in the vast Ancient Lei Zhe and he appeared to be very lonely.
“This Innate Celestial Dragon is just an incarnation of Lei Zhe.” said Xin Huo softly.
“Lei Zhe’s incarnation? Is that….”
Zhong Yue was shocked as the Lei Zhe in Xin Huo’s mouth was not the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm and not the Lei Zhe Galaxy, but the mutual ancestor of the Fuxi Celestial Race, Great Sui and the human race. He was the first Innate Celestial Dragon!
“This Innate Celestial Dragon was created by Lei Zhe using his own blood and flesh. It was endowed with a portion of Lei Zhe’s power. The dragon was placed here as an examination tool for the Sui Sovereign and Fuxi.” said Xin Huo softly, “His level is now at the Imminent Deity’s Extreme level. The only way to get through him is by defeating him.”
Zhong Yue’s expression turned serious right away as he readied himself to face this examination!
“The 80th level is the young Lei Zhe, then what is in the 81st level?” asked Zhong Yue.
“There is nothing there. This young Innate Celestial Dragon is the final test. Only after defeating hi will you be able to reach the next level and obtain the Innate Dao Fruit!” said Xin Huo.
Suddenly, the Innate Celestial Dragon turned his head and as he looked at Zhong Yue, he rebutted, “Xin Huo, you’re wrong. There is another test in the 81st level.”
Xin Huo’s mind went blank for a split second hearing this and he shouted, “Impossible! There wasn’t even a test on the 81st level when my previous inheritors came here!”
“I am the one who created the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm. If I say that there is a test, then there will be a test.
With a deep gaze, the young Lei Zhe said calmly, “There wasn’t one before but now, there is. So, are you ready, Fuxi’s young man?”
Xin Huo was restless; the 80th level’s test was already so difficult. Whoever passed it all possessed the talent of an emperor. But now that there was an extra test, he suddenly became very worried for Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue exhaled deeply upon hearing this, but he still managed to maintain his confidence. With his body just a step away from reaching the innate body, the innate Yuan Shen, innate arcane energy and the [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] as well as the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] that he cultivated so hard for, he was as ready as he ever will be!
“I am ready!” said Zhong Yue as he unsheathed his sword.
Hong long—
The young Lei Zhe suddenly vanished from his sight. In the next instant, Zhong Yue was struck with a blow whose power he had never experienced before. Zhong Yue was sent flying away and the young Lei Zhe followed suit. From time to time, the young Lei Zhe vanished and reappeared before Zhong Yue who was sent flying away as he hurled down an endless barrage of innate skills at Zhong Yue!
The 80th level Lei Zhe trembled vigorously under the young Lei Zhe’s attack. With each strike, a smoke ring appeared as the result from the explosions and in just a short time, the 80th level Lei Zhe’s skies were filled with such rings!
As for Zhong Yue, after he lost the upper hand right away in the first encounter, he tried all he could to resist but nothing seemed to help; his body was on the verge of collapse under the immense pressure, his Yuan Shen shook so hard to a point that it almost shattered and his innate arcane energy was blasted away!
And this was when Zhong Yue knew why Xin Huo insisted that he wouldn’t stand a chance at all. This young Lei Zhe’s strength was fearful and his attack speed was as fast as lightning and his body easily dwarfed Zhong Yue’s!
“Actually, you can use all of your divine weapons,” whispered Xin Huo, “Knocking him out with your weapons is another way to pass the test.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier!” Zhong Yue gritted his teeth as he was once again sent flying away.
Xin Huo then said softly, “You can use your divine weapons in each level actually. With the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, you can stand a chance to win and I assume that Si Ming also used her weapons to pass this test.”
“No, I will not!” shouted Zhong Yue as he fell from the skies.
As he fell, Zhong Yue regained his balance. He stomped in midair and after a loud noise, a floor formed by coalesced lightning appeared under his feet. He looked at the young Lei Zhe while standing atop the lightning.
Xin Huo on the other hand, was stunned and he shouted, “If you don’t use the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, you won’t stand a chance….”
“It doesn’t matter!”
Zhong Yue pointed forward and sent his sabers, the Solar Divine Saber and Metamagnet Divine Saber, flying towards the young Lei Zhe. Zhong Yue infused his saber with [Dao Crusher] within the sabers before he said, “If it is a test, then I will have to give my best, with my own power!”
When the sabers reached the young Lei Zhe, he grabbed onto the sabers with only four fingers but suddenly, the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] erupted and turned into countless saber Qi that struck towards the young Lei Zhe.
However, with a twist, the young Lei Zhe dove right through the array of saber Qi and was in front of Zhong Yue almost immediately before slamming his palm onto the latter’s chest.
Blood spurted out of Zhong Yue’s mouth as the strike landed on him and he was sent flying away once again. He heard the young Lei Zhe said, “Si Ming did not use any equipment to get through me.”
The young Lei Zhe followed up quickly and his voice clearly sounded in Zhong Yue’s and Xin Huo’s ears, “Xin Huo, is your inheritor weaker than her?”
