14 Monarch reborn. (2/2)

Li Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrow as he looked at Jinwu. He was too young to speak, but thanks to their connection, they could still understand what the other meant. Jinwu wanted him to eat the meat that remained on the piece of the stomach that the Golden Crow had thrown at him.

Upon seeing Jinwu vigorously nod its head, despite still being slightly wary, Li Yang decided to do it. One reason was that Jinwu was adamant about him eating it, the other was that he still had that feeling in his chest, the same feeling he had when he first spotted the Golden Crow while he was still in the tribe.

”Please forgive my rudeness.”

Li Yang grabbed the piece of meat and muttered slightly. He bit into the part of the stomach that did not have any feathers, sinking his teeth into the meat and tearing small chunks out of it. The meat was raw and chewy, it had an awful taste that almost made Li Yang vomit.

But he forced the meat down, even drinking every drop of blood that he managed to squeeze out of the meat. As he drank the blood and ate the meat, he felt his entire body slowly heat up, blood and energy coursing through his veins like a ferocious tidal wave.

Li Yang finished all the meat in only three bites, as it was only a small part that he had in front of him. After he finished the meat, he couldn't help but fall to the ground and curl up his entire face white. It felt like it wasn't blood running in his veins, but rather liquid fire.

”AHHH!”

The burning pain spread throughout his entire body and he couldn't help but scream out, his entire voice turning hoarse as he almost ruined his throat. He was just about to completely lose his mind when all the energy and burning pain gathered in his dantian, assaulting that wall that sealed it off.

After only a single attack from the energy, the wall that sealed off his dantian completely shattered, allowing all the energy and burning pain to flood into his dantian. It was at this moment that the world turned dark. It didn't turn dark because Li Yang lost consciousness, it turned dark because the entire sky was suddenly covered in black clouds.

The black clouds started churning, furious bolts of lightning lighting up the sky. The sound of thunder rumbled forth, drowning out all other sounds. Azure bolts of lightning started striking the earth around Li Yang, some even hitting his body and sinking into his flesh.

But Li Yang did not notice any of this. At this moment, his mind was flooding with information. Large amounts of memories flooded into his mind, every scene of his previous life replaying inside his mind. The moment his dantian opened, the seal on his memories had vanished, allowing him to remember everything about his past life.

As the memories flooded into his veins, changes also started happening to his dantian. The energy that the azure lightning bolts brought with them gathered at one spot in his dantian, while the energy that the Golden Crow meat brought with it gathered at another spot. There was also a third type of energy in his dantian, this energy gathered at the very center of his dantian, all the other types of energy giving it plenty of space.

The three energies started solidifying and twisting, turning into three glorious runes that glowed with resplendent light. The first rune was a completely golden rune that seemed alight with flames. The second rune was an azure rune that crackled with arcs of lightning. The last rune was completely pitch black in color like it was a black hole that destroyed all.

As the three runes formed, the world around Li Yang once more reacted. The bolts of lightning in the sky grew more furious, striking and shattering the earth beneath them. Flames started spewing out from the cracks in the ground, reaching towards the heaven as if they wanted to compete with the lightning.

At the very center, where the lightning and fire would meet, a small black hole appeared. Anything that touched this black hole completely vanished, not even leaving behind dust. The fire and lightning around this black hole quickly calmed down, acting like meek sheep.

Jinwu stood next to the curled up Li Yang, looking at the spectacle taking place with an interested expression. After half an hour, the black clouds that covered the sky vanished, as did the flames and the black hole, the world returning to its usual calm.

Li Yang's curled up body moved into a sitting position. He looked no different from before, the three scars were still there, his hair was still azure, but his black eyes had become much deeper and resplendent, almost shining like two black stars.

Li Yang clenched his fist, causing crimson fire and azure lightning to suddenly appear around his fist. Feeling the power coursing through his body, as well as seeing those three glorious runes located in his dantian, a large smile appeared on his face. He was nowhere near his previous level of strength, but it was a start.

”Fang Ying, I told you that I will chase after you through life and death. Now I am coming to find you.”
