The perils of cultivation were endless, but with a heart hardened by experience and an unyielding will, all things could be overcome. Yan Zaizen felt those words resonate in his heart more than ever. His cultivation, his plans set to overcome his obstacles, and his future was all being determined by a single path of peril.
The Heavenly Annihilation Light.
The mnemonics of the Immortal Herculean Method flitted through his mind continuously. Only when he had ensured that every detail had once more been etched into his Soul Flame did he start to execute the method for cultivating his physique.
His mind entered an unprecedented level of calm, his breathing and heartbeat reached a synchronized yet unfathomably slow rhythm. It was wondrous. With simply this, and the few words being continuously uttered in his heart, his body seemed to undergo a miniscule yet perceptible change.
When he cultivated this before, he lasted for several hours before he suffered a backlash that left him spewing blood, pale-faced, and with a sickly countenance. Yet, this time, his body wasn't as weak as before. There were no impurities within his body caused by improper cultivating, only the faint glimmers of his Dao Light that flowed through his blood, muscle fibers, and skin.
This time, he didn't lose consciousness. His will was firm as well, so he did not need a Senior Sister to instill a desire for improvement or a drive for success. He knew what was on the line, and the pain he experienced was calmly endured.
Minutes became hours, which became days until an entire month had passed. This was the same timeline that he required before, when he first cultivated this technique. Unlike before, his fleshy body had gone through an uninterrupted process of transition making the initial process perfect. His bones, flesh, blood, organs, and even his hair follicles had changed subtly.
During this period, his Dao Seed had slowly awakened. It exuded Dao Light infused with Dao Energy. This kept his body from requiring normal sustenance, allowing a truly interrupted meditative period of cultivation. His body, in fact, was healthier than normal. The contours of his muscles were elegantly masculine, his complexion was like jade, and his eyes shone with radiantly brilliant light.
”I'll get one shot at this,” he reminded himself in his heart. A slight grin tugged at his lips. Originally, he was planning to use his original body's plans, but after some thought, he decided to risk it. He needed to cultivate quickly, and even if it was risky to push for something more, he never lacked the courage to do so.
”Exceed the heavens, shatter the skies!!!” He calmly exclaimed. His words were like a quaking surge. The world rumbled as if an earthquake had been initiated. The resulting reverberations were intense and only grew more intense as the seconds passed.
The entire Meteorite City may be taken aback by the abrupt disturbance. He could imagine many seeking shelter or hiding away for safety due to this commotion. When he went through this before, he was in an isolated mountain range and he could only imagine the disturbance it had to the surrounding beasts.
His eyes opened. They shifted upwards to see the ceiling, but that gaze of his seemed as if he was piercing through all matter, reaching the highest heavens and the authority of this world, the Heavenly God.
”BECOME AN IMMORTAL! BECOME A HERCULEAN!” He thunderously shouted. It was only when those words left his lips did he realize that he hadn't spoken in his common language, but a unique language that seemed to synchronize with the Herculean Path, invoking its wondrous powers.
His physique that had been primed during this entire month had started to rapidly become active. Similarly, the ground quaked, the clouds grew restless as they congregated above Meteorite City, and directly above Yan Zaizen's abandoned warehouse
There wasn't a hint of fear within his gaze. This was the prelude to the calamity that was Heavenly Annihilation Light.
Time seemed to freeze.
A mote of golden light, so small, enough to barely rival a child's marble, emerged from the clouds. This was condensed heavenly force and it descended without mercy.
The purpose of Heavenly Annihilation Light was to, as its name suggests, annihilate all those that went against the Heavenly Laws set by the Heavenly Gods of the Thirty-Three Heavens. The Herculean Path was outlawed, meaning cultivating it was against the intent of the Heavenly God of this heaven, the Extreme Rebirth Heavenly God.
Normally, the speed of this light would be so swift that even a millisecond wouldn't be enough to observe its arrival, descent, and resulting destructive prowess. However, Yan Zaizen was clearly awake and his gaze and fleshy body was slightly moving.
The mote of light arrived, passing through all matter like a ghost. It arrived by Yan Zaizen's glabella. It seemed gearing to enter his soul and destroy all that he is and will ever be. However, just as it touched his glabella, an unfathomably brilliant and ferociously fearsome amber-gold colored light violently erupted.
This was his Dao Seed!
The Dao of Sovereign Ascension was a peak upper-tier Dao, and it was Pseudo Grand Dao thanks to Xihu, the Heavenly Creator of the Sirius Titan Path, and his Origin Source True Egg he obtained during his trial. Furthermore, it had been linked inexplicably with his soul on a higher level thanks to Yri's Dao Heart, Grand Soul Divine Art.
