Chapter 717 - The Saber That Won The World (1/2)
Zhong Yue's mind went blank for a second and he thought, Since when did my body became this strong?
It was not just strong, strong was already not a suitable term to describe his body; it was unreasonably freaky!
He could clearly feel that relentless and unstoppable power flowing through his skin, veins, bones, and every internal organ.
It felt like his body had been reforged and refined to at least two times stronger than the state he was when he left!
And this surge in his body power was just too terrifying!
Just how unreasonable this was?
For instance, it would be great if Zhong Yue managed to increase his power by two to twenty percent each time he improved and the occurrence of power surge by a few times only happened when he cultivated the Innate Yuan Shen.
Now, his body's strength had increased by three times!
But of course, this did not mean that his overall strength increased by three times; it was only his body that experienced the sudden hike in power, and the fleshly body only accounted for a portion of one's overall strength.
The majority of Qi Practitioners attacked through skills, meaning that their mortal bodies were rarely used. Thus, barely anyone walked on the path of fighting with raw body power.
However, this surge in body power was still strong enough to enhanced the combat power of Zhong Yue by an incredible level!
I've only left for two hours….
Zhong Yue was speechless and he couldn't help but wonder just what Xin Huo did in these two hours to achieve such a result!
"Brat Yue, why did you come back so early?"
At this point, Xin Huo was battling with the Pure Yang Lei Zhe's dragon god. The skills that Zhong Yue cultivated had an added level of deadliness in Xin Huo hands as the Yang lines and Yin lines spread all over the skies. The weaknesses of the Pure Yang Lei Zhe's dragon god were found and as the saber was swung, the dragon god was beheaded cleanly and swiftly.
"I thought you would only come back after I fought all the way into the seventy-ninth level! What nice timing! I'll return your body now!"
The little flame then handed over control of the body back to Zhong Yue and he gave some advice, "I've sort of refined your body by a little bit and that's all I can do for you. It's up to you now whether or not you can sleep with an innate goddess and give birth to a little Fuxi!"
Zhong Yue was left speechless but he had to admit that Xin Huo was undoubtedly strong in a way; in just a short time, he managed to achieve something Zhong Yue could only achieve after using years and years of time
"Forty-eight levels… This is more than enough, there is no need to continue."
Zhong Yue blinked his eyes and when he was about to get down from the skies, a huge dimensional crack appeared from nowhere and Queen Shi Ji came out from the crack shouting, "Zhong Yue, the king asked why did you stop and not continue your tribulations?"
Zhong Yue's heart thumped right away and when he looked towards the Heaven Court within the Wei Shen Six Paths World, he saw Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan sitting on his throne and looking at him with a stare that seemed to hold a galaxy.
This is bad!
Zhong Yue maintained a poker face and he nervously thought, The Realm Monarch is suspicious of me now. He is suspecting me of sneaking into Hell to hijack the prison! King Geng once told me that the Realm Monarch is a smart and sly one and it seems that he was right! While he watched me tribulating through the levels, he sent men into Hell to investigate this matter! If I failed to overcome the 48th level Pure Yang Lei Zhe or unable to perform like how Xin Huo performed, my plan will be exposed!
But who was Xin Huo?
With Zhong Yue's body in his hands, Xin Xuo had shown outstanding power, and not only did he possess knowledge far inferior to Xin Huo's, but Zhong Yue also had no idea of how terrifying the 48th level Pure Yang Lei Zhe was.
And this was the purpose of Realm Monarch Helian Yun Shen asking Zhong Yue to continue the tribulations; he wanted to see how Zhong Yue performed as compared to what Xin Huo did and if Zhong Yue performed worse than before, then things would turn sour for him in an instant!
Zhong Yue took in a deep breath and as he bowed, he said, "I'm afraid that after the previous lengthy lightning tribulations, I might not be able to continue."
Queen Shi Ji on the other hand, coldly denied him and she insisted, "The monarch's wish is for you to continue one more level. If you succeed, you may rest. and if you fail, you might as well just die in the lightning tribulation."
Zhong Yue turned around and when he looked at the Realm Monarch again, an emotionless and expressionless Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan entered his sights. His heart sank as he knew the Realm Monarch had grown even more suspicious of him and that if he tried to excuse himself again, he would be in deep trouble.
"Brat Yue, how about letting me do it one more time?" asked Xin Huo secretly.
Though Xin Huo's psyche wavered into Zhong Yue's mind for a split second, no one was able to realize the abnormal wavering psyche as it was covered by the Pure Yang Lei Zhe's noise and power.
"No." replied Zhong Yue as he walked towards the forty-ninth level Pure Yang Lei Zhe, "If you do it again, Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan will definitely realize something and since he is suspicious of me for infiltrating and rescuing King Geng through some unknown techniques, I have no other option but to do it myself!"
His power then burned fiercely as his energy surged out around him; when the energy of his Yuan Shen, body and soul reached the peak, the Dao totem patterns flew out of the light wheels behind his head and turned into a dragon.
He then ascended into the forty-ninth level Pure Yang Lei Zhe where every single object in this level was made of Pure Yang techniques.
These techniques turned into various abnormal phenomenal and each of them contained horrifying power, which Zhong Yue experienced before already but this time, it was even stronger than before!
And among the countless dangerous powers, the Pure Yang Lei Zhe's dragon god coiled around with its head high up and eyes closed as if it was resting.
This dragon god was the heaven and earth brandings of the Innate Lei Zhe Celestial Dragon and it had Pure Yang body that was wild and powerful as if it came from the ancient wilderness.
