Asura Mad Emperor

As the news of the Myriad Spirit Garden spread, all Sect Forces were stirred.

Not only the major forces of Shanhe County, but even those from the neighboring Dongling County were moved by the news, all prepared to make their move on Congyun Sect, to seek revenge and to contest the remnants of the Imperial Dao heritage left by the Congyun Sect.

...

Within Congyun Sect, at Heaven-Piercing Peak.

Qinchuan sat cross-legged in the secret room. At his forehead, a golden radiance swirled, and within his sea of consciousness, the sliver of Emperor Soul, nourished by the Jin Ling fruit, continuously grew stronger.

An invisible Imperial Might radiated from Heaven-Piercing Peak.

Above Congyun Sect, a terrifying apparition emerged, resembling the Heavenly Emperor descending to the world. Although its form was illusory, the natural Imperial Dao majesty it exuded caused a mighty tremor throughout Congyun Sect.

The entire Congyun Sect, countless disciples, elders, along with Sect Master Wu Tian, were all shocked by the apparition that manifested above them, overwhelmed by the terrifying Imperial Might.

The whole Sect, everyone involuntarily knelt down, worshipping the figure that appeared within the apparition in the void.

"What a terrifying majesty, could this be Imperial Might?!"

"Could it be that the Ancestor has returned?!"

Wu Tian and the other high-ranking officials were all excited, and a trace of feverish color rose in their eyes.

The apparition persisted for several days.

Days later, the astonishing apparition in the void suddenly retracted, transforming into thousands of radiant lights, sweeping into Heaven-Piercing Peak.

"The Imperial Might has disappeared, and it seems the apparition originated from Heaven-Piercing Peak!"

Wu Tian and the other high-ranking officials of Congyun Sect immediately rushed to Heaven-Piercing Peak, bowing in unison, "We welcome the Ancestor's return, we greet the Ancestor's comeback!"

Inside the Heaven-Piercing Treasure Palace, all was quiet.

Zhou Xi, who was meditating outside Qinchuan's secret room, was startled by the commotion outside.

Having guarded Qinchuan's secret room, she was unaware of the apparition that had manifested outside.

After calling a palace maid, Zhou Xi asked, "What's happening outside?"

"To report to Sister Zhou, the Sect Master and the elders have arrived. They seem to be paying respects to the Ancestor..."

"Paying respects to the Ancestor should be done at the Ancestor's shrine; why would they come to Heaven-Piercing Peak?"

Zhou Xi was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Several days ago, an apparition manifested above our Heaven-Piercing Peak. It is said that the mighty presence of an Emperor exerted its authority in all directions. Did Sister Zhou not feel it?"

"Imperial Might?!"

Zhou Xi was instantly filled with astonishment. She had been guarding outside Qinchuan's secret room and had not felt the so-called Imperial Might mentioned by the maid.

"Tell them it's not Wu Yong returning. The so-called Imperial Might was merely stimulated by a Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact. Tell them not to kneel outside."

In the cultivation secret room, Qinchuan had already refined all the Jin Ling fruit, and within his sea of consciousness, that first thread of Emperor Soul had now fully revived.

At this moment, his Essence Qi was exceptionally vibrant, and his senses had become incredibly sharp, aware of everything happening outside as if it was at his fingertips.

However, he did not immediately leave his retreat. After instructing Zhou Xi, he continued his closed-door cultivation.

"The first thread of Emperor Soul has been fully revived. Next, it's time to raise my Cultivation Level a bit more. But before that, I need to further temper my Physical Body and fully condense the Asura Divine Body. By then, my foundation will be one layer deeper, making the improvement of my Cultivation Level more secure, while also laying the foundation for the awakening of my Innate Bone later on."

Qinchuan murmured to himself.

With a flip of his hand, the Heaven Devouring Divine Cauldron appeared.

He took out a drop of the Primordial Ancestral Serpent's True Blood.

In the True Blood of the Primordial Ancestral Serpent, there was an immense concentration of life's essence qi, as well as exceptionally pure power of Blood Qi, making it an excellent resource for healing injuries and cultivating one's physical body.

Qinchuan refined the True Blood of the Primordial Ancestral Serpent not for healing injuries but for cultivating his physical body, to solidify the Asura Divine Body, preparing for the future awakening of the Innate Bones, and at the same time, to further strengthen his foundation, solidifying his roots.

The deeper the foundation, the more solid the roots, the more composed and stable the breakthrough in cultivation level would be.

The Asura Reincarnation Art cycled methodically, and that droplet of the Primordial Ancestral Serpent's True Blood, like a Blood Pill, spun and floated between Qinchuan's palms.

The torrential Power of Blood Qi within it was extracted by Qinchuan, who hammered and tempered his physical body over and over again.

Crackling like soybeans, "pop, crack" sounds emanated from his body; every bone and muscle, every cell, underwent repeated tempering and gradually underwent a transformation.

His flesh and muscles became increasingly lustrous, his bones constantly shattered and reformed, also gradually turning crystalline.

As time passed, the bones inside his body grew increasingly sturdy, becoming more difficult to break.

The layers of faint golden light that radiated from his body gradually turned into a blood-red color.

He operated the technique to condense the Asura Divine Body, and behind him, a blood-red Asura faintly appeared and became increasingly visible with the constant tempering by the Power of Blood Qi.

That blood-red Asura, initially ethereal, was becoming increasingly solid.

Finally, the blood-red Asura fully solidified, turned into a beam of blood light, and surged into Qinchuan's body, merging with his physical body as one.

"Boom!"

A terrifying blood-colored phenomenon once again manifested in the skies above Heaven-Piercing Peak.

The blazing blood light illuminated half of the sky!

A hazy blood-colored figure, like an Asura supreme, stood within that curtain of blood, exuding a heart-palpitating aura of murderous dignity.

Above the Nine Heavens, the wind and thunder roared, and purple lightning struck down towards the Asura phenomenon above Heaven-Piercing Peak.

However, that blood-red Asura, under the strike of the purple lightning, not only did not collapse, but became even more refined.

"Rumble rumble!"

Immediately following,

It was like the anger of the heavens.

Above Congyun Sect, boundless tribulation clouds gathered, surging towards Heaven-Piercing Peak.

The terrifying might of the heavens emanated from those tribulation clouds, causing all beings in Shanhe County to tremble with terror and shock.

"What a terrifying heavenly might!"

"It's a heavenly tribulation!"

"It seems to be coming from the direction of Congyun Sect! What's happening with Congyun Sect? How could such an astonishing heavenly tribulation emerge?"

"Could it be that Congyun Sect has truly exhausted its destiny and been forsaken by the heavens? Otherwise, why would such a heavenly tribulation descend?!"

Strong figures from various factions sensed the terrible heavenly might above Congyun Sect.

The scale was too vast.

The skies over Shanhe County gradually became covered with dark clouds, darkening the world.

And from the direction of Congyun Sect, within those thick clouds, lightning serpents raced, thunder rolled, and the might of the heavens cascaded down like a waterfall, such a scale seemingly in the posture of "divine punishment."

Therefore, strong figures from various sects were filled with shock and doubt, not understanding what act of grievance Congyun Sect had committed to provoke such wrath and invite such heavenly punishment and divine retribution.

"It seems that even the heavens cannot tolerate Congyun Sect, which has exhausted its destiny, bringing down such punishment!"

"It's better this way; it saves us from having to eradicate Congyun Sect ourselves. Now, we just wait for the heavenly punishment to end and then take over Congyun Sect's Imperial Arts and Treasured Arts. I only hope that the Imperial Arts and Treasured Arts of Congyun Sect are not destroyed in this heavenly punishment and divine retribution..."
