53 Return of Power Upanishad Symbol Tower (2/2)
In Grace Mainland, Shi Yan used his clones to gather all his friends which included Shang Ying Yue, Shang Chen, Wu Feng, Wu Bai, Sha Zhao, Xiao Mu, and the others. Shi Yan triggered his upanishads and started driving the continent towards outer space chaotic basin. Everybody screamed in fright when the entire continent tore the sky and jumped into the chaotic space basin, moving forward rapidly. Massive Continent appeared over Grace Mainland Star Area. Ghost Hunter felt insecure and noticed that Grace Mainland could escape from Desolate Territory. He found that even Audrey is there within Grace mainland which was moving away from Desolate Territory. But he was too late here as well and thus can't do anything now to stop it. He immediately started fusing Ancient Demon, Ancient God and Grace Mainland Star Areas (not the Grace Mainland Continent). The barriers between three star areas disappeared. The experts that were left by Shi Yan and allies were dying horrible deaths one after another. Ming Hao tried his best to make them believe him, but they haven't trusted his words. Three continents were now once gaining the appearance of actual Desolate Territory. With the deaths of so many people heaven and earth energy got abundant in newly formed Desolate Territory.
In Chaotic Basin, Shi Yan was floating with continent and various asteroids and outer space elements were trying to destroy this planet, but Shi Yan and other experts easily protected themselves as they were all high realm experts. Those who have never seen outer space were in disbelief seeing this new experience of their life. Audrey was lying unconscious on the Immortal Island within this planet. Ming Hong's little figure on Audrey's shoulder was also very weak and Ming Hao and Adele sent their energy to support him too. After relaxing he thanked Shi Yan or else they would all have been dead as the nightmare of Audrey would've come true. He also explained happening of Ancient God Continent and that it is now one Desolate Territory. Now everybody believes in Shi Yan's quick decision that enabled them to save their lives. They have deep respect for him now. Suddenly there was some movement from coffins and two skeletons woke up. These two precursors of White Bone Clan are sleeping from ten thousand years and finally today their eyes have shown some light. Unlike other races White Bone Clan was very united and everybody was cheerful on watching their ancestors waking up. Hiro who was protecting planet from outer space elements expressed his desire to go down and check on ancestors. Montecie was sweating all over with pressure from outer space elements but she nodded and let him go. He landed beside little skeleton and two precursors were looking towards their son little skeleton with deep love and affection. Same was the case for little skeleton too. He called them Father and Mother respectfully. Shi Yan went to help Montecie strengthen protection layers from outer space elements. He called all bloodthirsty force chiefs - Ming Hao, Xuan He, Frederick, Yang Tian Emperor, Blood Devil, Leona, Ka Tuo, and Fei Lan. Then he told them about enormous energy he has obtained from Pu Tai and Devour's weakening by Montecie's Time Power Upanishad and he was ready to transfer that to them. Audrey's condition was worsening and nobody knew what's happening to her exactly. They were surprised to see that Shi Yan also has origin but he is unaffected then why is Audrey's condition so worse? Ming Hong told that perhaps after Shi Yan is done sharing his energy then he can give them answer to this.
On an brown-red asteroid in chaotic space basin. Twelve Snake Heads of Hui were carrying the asteroid and Zi Yao, Tian Xie and many of her servants were riding that asteroid. She was relieved to leave the Desolate Territory and can guess that currently no one in Desolate Territory should be alive aside of Desolate himself. Mortals are safe but anybody with soul altar should have been massacred. But soon she sensed Shi Yan in chaotic space basin too and now know that he has brought Grace Mainland here with him. She was excited to know this and started moving towards Grace Mainland.
On Grace Mainland, Ming Hao, Xuan He, Frederick and others were comprehending and refining the energy sent by Shi Yan. Shi Yan has refined a lot of energy himself too and reached the peak of Immortal Realm. Adele came out disturbing him to check the condition of Audrey. Ming Hong, Gillette, DeCarlos and Azure Dragon tried various methods but nothing worked in waking her up. They were also wondering that why Shi Yan was safe and sound? Shi Yan knew the reason for this that he is not affected by Desolate getting stronger because he is foreign soul (he was reborn here through crossover of universes as per instructions to Lao Luo (one of bloodthirsty's old forces who is dead) by Bloodthirsty) not born in this Desolate Territory so he doesn't have any soul seal binding him. However Audrey was born within Desolate Territory so she is getting weaker as the Desolate's will is getting stronger. Ming Hong was really worried about Audrey because he is currently soul slave of Audrey and if she dies he will die too. Azure Dragon reminded Shi Yan that once Audrey dies Desolate will gain his third clone making him more powerful. And then he will come for Shi Yan for sure. Shi Yan tried using his Life power upanishad on her to wake her up. But it didn't worked as Audrey's soul was weakened and Life power upanishad is not capable of recovering souls. Meanwhile on noticing Shi Yan awake Hiro and Montecie group came there to check the things out. Two precursors of White Bone Clan who has recently awakened came to thank their benefactor. The male precursor's name was Dracula and he was on second sky of Territory Ancestor Realm making him equal to Hiro but he has not fully recovered his strength. He noticed the troubled situation of Shi Yan with Audrey and asked about it. Then he replied that energy from her origin is taken by an Absolute Beginning Creature. Everybody was looking towards Dracula as he is the most knowledgeable person here so he must have an idea to resolve this problem. Dracula told the crowd that if she is strong enough then she can save herself by swallowing consciousness of Absolute Beginning Creature or the creature will swallow hers. This is logical solution but not practical as she is unconscious. So he suggested another solution to Shi Yan that, Shi Yan is one of the desolate and he can swallow her too. If Audrey cooperates then Shi Yan can take the origin and spare her soul. Ming Hong immediately agreed as if Desolate devours her then she will die along with her origin gone towards desolate, however if Shi Yan devours her then he can take origin only and leave Audrey's soul. In other words, she will be discarding origin that doesn't belong to her already so there's no loss to her. Shi Yan's control over desolate territory will rise up through this solution as well which can help them in future while confronting Desolate. However if Audrey's origin is swallowed by Desolate then he will grow so strong that everybody will be ant in his eyes. Even Territory Ancestor Realm experts won't stand any chance against him. Everybody urged Shi Yan to do it fast and he agreed. But the brutal souls of Audrey attacked Shi Yan. Ming Hong was the strongest brutal soul of Audrey so he controlled them so that they don't trouble Shi Yan anymore. But now Soul Refining Cauldron instinctively tried defending his master Audrey. Shi Yan sent soul message towards Audrey trying to tell her that he is Shi Yan and she shouldn't resist as he means no harm to her. He got a response but not from Audrey but instead Power Upanishad Symbol Tower.
In a secret place of Devouring clan, Power Upanishad Symbol Tower was floating. Devour used Wisps of Dark energy for trying to remove the soul seal of Hui. It received a call from far away and immediately responded to it and flew towards that direction at astonishing speed. Devour is still not at his peak and was dumbfounded on seeing this and can't react in time to stop the tower which was escaping at a mighty speed that he can't even hope to surpass. He called Labitte and Edgar immediately and told them about tower's escaping as soon as he cleared the soul seal of Hui. He knew that the original owner Shi Yan must have called it coincidentally at the same time when Hui's seal got erased thus giving him exclusive ownership of Tower. Edgar asked for Shi Yan's whereabouts and Devour told him that he is outside the void of Desolate Territory. He further ordered Edgar to get tower before Hui as it's crucial for them. Light ray passed through Zi Yao too at a speed that she can't even notice or react towards it. But she recognized that it was tower actually and turned his asteroid into a shooting star and started following towards tower's direction where Shi Yan was also located.
In Grace Mainland, Shi Yan escaped Audrey's soul altar and entered her head somehow. An strong fluctuation of energy was sensed by Hiro and Montecie and they became alert. Shi Yan has given them responsibility of safeguarding the Grace Mainland while he is helping Audrey. But the power of this energy seems unfathomable. Hiro went ahead to check it out and found it to be Power Upanishad Symbol Tower and thus he lowered the barriers to let it enter Grace Mainland. Tower halted near Shi Yan's head and hesitated to enter his head. As Shi Yan's co soul is in audrey's head tower was not able to recognize its true owner. After some hesitation tower moved towards Audrey's physical body instead of Shi Yan physical body which was meditating outside. Everyone was surprised to see this. Shi Yan was still in trouble against Soul Refining Cauldron. He tried calling to host soul of Audrey but there was no response. So Shi Yan decided to retreat now but suddenly tower came out of nowhere and acted like his armor against soul refining cauldron. Shi Yan felt something different from tower and it was complete fusion. Earlier due to existence of Hui's soul seal he was half owner of tower but now he has complete control over it. Now nobody is capable of snatching this tower from him unless he dies. Finally he resumed calling Audrey's soul with protection of tower and after long time received a response from Audrey who was very weak at the moment. Shi Yan told her to cooperate and let him consume her origin and she agreed to it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Strongest vs. Scheming Cosmos, everybody looked at the worried face of Xu Que when storage rings fell from his pockets. They considered that there should be lots of treasures in those rings. Xu Que shouted again, ”Don't take away my rings.” and leaped towards his rings but remaining 200,000 heavenly soldiers blocked his path. Soldiers launched an attack that made Xu Que spit out blood. Another bunch of storage rings fell by this blow of soldiers now. Everybody was watching those rings with greed. Jiang Yushu, head of Jiang family got one ring that was directly above his head. His protection equipment showed cracks as someone attacked him but he was blinded by greed and tried to open the storage ring still and suddenly got attacked again by magical inscription on his chest. His cracked defense equipment crumbled to pieces and he was surrounded by black fire. He cursed the attacker who was an elder from Gong family. Elder sneered and told him that he was aiming for this storage ring too and used his inscription to make it fly towards him but Jiang Yushu appeared in front accidentally. At that moment, various magical inscriptions hit this elder of Gong family too which made him spit out blood and hair got disheveled. He cursed Bai Family elders who attacked him. Jiang Yushu was happy by this and told them ”Well done” and attacked towards them in order to stop them from acquiring rings. The three big families who has recently allied after disputes was again fighting with each other now. Same situation happened with Holy Sons and Virgins of East Continent too. They were trying to snatch rings from each other. Xiao Munan who was one of the strongest Holy Son penetrated a few cultivators and caught one ring. Qin Ji immediately hit his hand and ring flew away from Xiao Munan's hand. He cursed Qin Ji and started fighting with Qin Ji. Dong Genji with the help of his subordinates of Carefree Building caught dozen of rings. Xu Que shouted, ”Stop”. Hearing this fights grew even more fierce as they were sure that extremely valuable things are there in those rings that's why Xu Que is so worried. Xu Que was still being blocked by 200,000 soldiers. Rings were few hundreds and cultivators were tens of thousands. It was impossible for everyone to claim even one ring for themselves. Few elders of Utopia Faction were tempted too and went ahead to try to obtain some rings. Liu Jingning smiled but didn't stopped them. She was laughing in heart by the shameless and hilarious acting performance of Xu Que. Seeing Liu Jingning smiling, few sensible elders controlled their greed as they knew Liu Jingning too well. Buttface shamelessly tried to leak out secret of Xu Que and warned others that there's something dangerous in those rings. Xu Que was excited to hear him say this, and repeated his words that it's really dangerous to touch those rings. ”Please believe me”. ”Stop!Stop!Stop!”, ”How can you do this to me?” Xu Que's eyes were wet with tears acting so naturally. But no one believed him and continued their struggles to obtain as many rings as possible from others. Dong Genji was leading with 20 rings. Some cultivators got jealous and started targeting Dong Genji now. Jiang, Gong, Bai and other influential families have obtained more than 10 rings each too. But due to ongoing fights nobody got time to open any ring. Xu Que continued his acting saying all cultivators as greedy and shameless. He further told crowd that rings are sealed by his Holy Soul Restriction. But everybody started laughing at this claim of his, as he was just Infant Transformation Stage and a seal of that level is piece of cake for experts like them at Void Training Stage. Xu Que praised them for being so powerful and turned away and resumed his fight with remaining heavenly soldiers.
Xu Que created another heavenly thunder seal which was now at 95 percent and thus very close to consummation. The spiritual qi from Celestial Burial Valley was sucked inside the seal and finally it engraved dragon and elephant. Soldiers will still saying one line, ”Pay it back”. Xu Que told them to collect their debt in hell and unleashed the seal towards them. All soldiers exploded with a powerful boom and their electrical energy started moving towards Xu Que. Thunder seal reached its consummation with this too as it was now showing 100 percent on system's interface. Xu Que's body started transforming as it was covered by a silver light and started looking like invulnerable silver skin. His eyes were containing lightning bolts which improved his eyesight and he can see anything clearly even 50 km away. Xu Que gained a lot as Both his physique and heavenly thunder seal are upgraded. He has won more than 10,000 act tough points too with his natural acting earlier too. But he still resumed his acting naturally and showed angry expressions towards crowd. He was throwing murderous intentions now towards the people holding his rings. Fighting has come to a stop as division of rings is already done based on strength of the parties. Xu Que told them to return his rings once again and that he is ready to pay anything for them. But everybody ignored him and mocked him as if an idiot is proposing a selfish demand. Xu Que looked at Qin Ji but Qin Ji reminded him about losses at Bright Moon Hotel so its perfect opportunity for her to get compensation from Xu Que by snatching his rings. Buttface was stupid. Therefore he was surprised by this and can't figure out why Xu Que is asking back for rings when it's perfect chance for him to explode them. He asked Xu Que about his intentions. Xu Que told Buttface truly that its too dangerous stuff inside the rings and he thinks that the consequences of opening rings will be disastrous. After this he once again urged crowd to return his rings. Dong Genji was first to ignore Xu Que's words and sneered at him and started breaking the restrictions on the ring. Seeing this Jiang Family and other big families stepped back in vigilance to check whether the stuff inside their rings too, to know if it is really valuable enough that they should kill others and rob more rings. Everybody started using their soul strength to probe the contents of the ring. Xu Que kept shouting and warning them and started flying towards sky. Everybody ignored him and didn't even noticed his moving towards sky. Dong Genji's soul strength was exceptional so he decided to open dozens of rings at once. The restrictive barriers cracked so easily which was unexpected for him. Dong Genji was showing even more contempt towards weak soul strength of Xu Que. As soon as he opened the ring he was enveloped by an intense aura and he threw the rings away. But it was too late as three colored fire lotuses gushed out crazily from the rings. Dozens of lotuses exploded simultaneously. Dong Genji was directly hit at face by the tremendous energy of blast. Everybody cried out and stopped others from opening rings. Jiang Family and other big families were alerted by explosion but they had already broken the barriers of rings too and were too late to throw those rings away and thus got caught in another wild blast. Enormous mushroom clouds were formed as if East Continent is bombarded with atomic bombs. Weak cultivators were evaporated into mists of blood. Dong Genji and Jiang Yushu were in pitiful state and cursed Xu Que for his shameless acting to lure them into this trap. Xu Que smiled and descended from sky and replied them that he honestly told them that its dangerous and they should not open the rings. But they didn't listened to him themselves, then how can they blame him? Xu Que had already created an Heavenly Thunder Seal in the sky and hurled it towards cultivators below mocking them further by saying, ”I just want to know: Are you angry?”
[Stonexia was laughing at top of his lungs by seeing this comedian MC and his acts. This MC is definitely much ahead in shamelessness if compared to Lin Fan.]
The target of seal this time was sea of black flames from the spell of Xu Que. BOOM!!! Seal bursted open and converted into silver bolts of lightning. Sea of black flames turned into pond of silver lightning. Hundreds of thousands cultivators got reduced to ashes. In a distance, Utopia Faction members were watching this and were glad that they heard to Liu Jingning's advice. This young man is so cruel that he didn't bat an eyelid before killing so many cultivators. One of the elders of the faction suggested everyone never to make this young man their enemy. Actually Utopia was famous for his merciless deeds too, but they felt themselves too small in front of this young man. There was another group standing at entrance of Celestial Burial Valley which was stunned by all this happenings. It was Heaven Secret Pavilion. They were speechless to see an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator killing tens of thousands of stronger cultivators and it seemed that he is experienced in such massacres and its not his first time doing so. Now earlier everybody thought that Jiang Hongyan is most formidable among whole crowd, but now it appears that even Jiang Hongyan is nobody against this young man. They were thanking their holy virgin Han Ying who saved them from the stray blast energy. She predicted danger earlier that something horrible will happen so she brought her members away from the ruckus of storage rings. But even after predicting she was surprised to see the severity of this danger. She was wondering now that who this young man is, and she can't use her powers to predict past or future of this man too. System was reverberating with notification sounds of earning acting tough points and even experience points from killings by blasts of storage rings. Xu Que reached ninth level of Infant Transformation Stage in no time and was just little bit away from full cultivation of Infant Transformation Stage. Other people takes years cultivating so many levels but he gained them instantly yet he was unsatisfied. Earlier he earned five levels in massacring few hundred people only but this time he required killing of tens of thousands of people to raise his cultivation by just five levels. He estimated that he still needs to kill 45 more infant transformation stage experts to level up to full cultivationand then hundred more to step into Void Training Stage first level. He started thinking about future for Form Synthesis stage and wondered that even massacring whole continents won't help him level up to that stage or stages above that. He thought that his cultivation style is flawed and is not feasible. While he was pondering a notification rang saying that he has obtained a mysterious parcel for his first kill of an void training stage expert. He recalled that earlier he has got similar parcels for killing Original Infant Stage and Infant Transformation Stages too. He was so excited that he forgot the trouble of his experience points in future and wanted to open the parcel but suddenly an explosion sounded. Xu Que noticed many hundreds of figures injured but they were still alive after his rings blasted. Dong Genji who was bleeding declared Xu Que as the eternal enemy of Carefree Building. Jiang family leader cursed him while he was half kneeling. Bai Family and Gong Family were angry at this despicable guy. Xu Que didn't mind them and launched another seal towards them but they still survived from the impact of his seal. They were high realm Void training experts after all. The one expert that provided parcel to Xu Que was just at level one of Void training realm. He was angry seeing this and brought out his Dark Heavy Buster Sword and cut off the private parts of Dong Genji.But the experts were still alive. Xu Que started contemplating and shamelessly called them as friends and asked from his victims only that why are they not dying even after being attacked at their private parts? All victims spurted out blood by hearing this. Finally Jiang Yushu spoke that Xu Que is not qualified enough to kill them with expression of deep hatred on his face. Xiao Munan was dissatisfied by this way of losing from an opponent and he blamed Xu Que for his despicable methods and wanted a fair fight. Liu Jingning voice sounded in his ears saying him little devil and that his attack was way too ruthless. He was happy to hear this message as he can ask her the reason that why he can't kill these experts? She tried having fun with Xu Que and claimed that Xu Que has soft heart and maybe he hasn't used his full power yet. But Xu Que told her that he has used his full power. Then she reminded Xu Que about Taoist Connotation and mocked him that he still doesn't have that thing as he is still not Void Training Stage. He contacted system and asked about his Taoist Connotation from him but before system replied Liu Jingning disturbed him again. She has guessed that Xu Que really doesn't have a Taoist Connotation so she warned him that if connotation is not converted into embryonic form then its impossible to reach Void Training Stage. Xu Que was shocked to know this. Actually his cultivation formula is simply killing others and gain experience points then how can he know about Taoist thingy? And there's no such Taoist thingy for sale in System's store too? Liu Jingning was surprised too to know that he reached Infant TransformationStage without any Taoist Connotation. Not just this, he doesn't even know about Taoist Connotation, as Xu Que asked him how to obtain this Taoist thingy?.She explained to Xu Que that there's no way to learn Tao now, as Tao is born with the birth of an cultivator himself and it grows along with cultivator and reaches embryonic stage by the time he enters Void Training Cultivation. And at that time nobody can kill him until his Tao is dead. Xu Que wondered that how has he killed Void Training Expert at level 1 then? Liu Jingning continued and told him that he can only kill other Void Training Experts when his Tao is stronger than others or combination of his tao and magic arts is capable of defeating them. He was worried again now for future as he can't kill stronger opponents in this way and thus can't earn Act Tough points. Xu Que refused to give up and was hell bent on learning this Tao Thingy. Liu Jingning reminded him that others are healing their wounds and will counterattack at any moment. Suddenly more rumbling sounds came from clouds and everybody was stunned to see that heavenly tribulations of Jiang Hongyan is not over yet???? Those one million soldiers were just first tribulation??? Everybody started retreating as although Xu Que is not capable of killing them but these tribulations will reduce them to ashes in an instant especially when they are wounded terribly. Magnificent golden lightnings were visible which represented that this is Ancient Catastrophe level of tribulation. Xu Que was shocked too as the Ancient Catastrophe he met at Five Elements Mountain were nothing if compared to these. Golden waterfalls of lightning converged into a sword and attacked the head of Jiang Hongyan. Hongyan spat out blood by the pressure of this sword and accepted her defeat from heavens and closed her eyes waiting for her death. Even void was torn apart with the incoming sword.
[Stonexia was watching all this and mocking this tribulation as if its nothing and switched his location back to Slaughter Universe.]
