I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 326 - 263: Breaking Through to Demon Emperor
A cold voice resounded in the sea of consciousness, as the heart demon’s shadow coalesced into a figure identical to Chen Sheng, holding a black longsword and thrusting towards his divine soul:
"Give up, you’ll never become a Demon Emperor!"
Though Chen Sheng had not practiced the "Seven Emotions Sword Scripture" in this life, the will he honed in his previous life remained undiminished, not to mention the great weapon specially prepared for him by the Golden Feather Demon Venerable.
"Soul Suppressing Restriction, activate!"
He murmured in his heart, and the scroll above his head suddenly burst with a soft black and white aura, like two beams of light, streaming into his sea of consciousness through his forehead.
The moment the aura entered the sea of consciousness, the once-arrogant heart demon’s shadow let out a miserable scream, and the black figure’s body started rapidly dissolving.
The black and white aura condensed into a Tai Chi diagram in the center of the sea of consciousness. As it rotated, it devoured all the heart demon shadows, instantly restoring clarity to the sea of consciousness.
"The Heart Demon Tribulation, just a minor obstacle."
Chen Sheng opened his eyes, a flash of clarity passing through them. He could clearly feel that after the baptism of the Heart Demon Tribulation, his divine soul was more stable than before.
...
The first two challenges passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Chen Sheng’s aura stabilized at the threshold of the Demon Emperor Realm, the sky suddenly darkened.
The clouds above the forbidden area were stirred by a violent force, and within the black clouds, purple lightning churned continuously with thunderous roars.
A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire forbidden area, even the ancient runes on the cliff walls began to flash intensely.
"The third challenge, Celestial Thunder Tribulation!"
Chen Sheng looked up at the sky, eyes devoid of fear but filled with anticipation.
"Crack!"
The first bolt of celestial thunder struck down, a bowl-thick purple lightning carrying a destructive aura, heading straight for Chen Sheng on the stone platform.
Instead of dodging, he waved his hand, unfolding the "Yin Yang Qi Diagram" above him. The black and white aura formed a barrier in front of him.
"Boom!"
The thunder crashed into the barrier with a mighty sound. The barrier shook violently but did not shatter; the black and white aura gradually weakened the power of the thunder, eventually transforming it into a stream of pure energy that flowed into Chen Sheng’s body.
However, the power of the Celestial Thunder Tribulation was far from over.
After the first bolt, the second, third... no fewer than nine bolts of thunder followed in succession, each thicker than the last, raining down like a storm, engulfing the entire stone platform in thunder.
"The time has come!"
Chen Sheng shouted lowly, the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline within him fully awakening.
His body began to grow rapidly, the dark robe tearing apart, golden feathers emerging from beneath his skin, wings unfolding slowly behind him, spanning thousands of feet, each golden feather sharp as a blade, glistening with dazzling light.
His head transformed into that of a Peng bird, with a sharp beak, eyes burning with golden flames, and an overwhelming aura of supremacy exuding from him—this was the true form of the Golden-Winged Roc!
"Caw—"
The transformed Golden Roc let out an earth-shattering screech, the sound piercing through the thunder, echoing throughout the core of the Great Wilderness Demon Court.
He flapped his mighty wings, his enormous body hovering in mid-air, opening his huge beak towards the thunderclouds in the sky:
"Swallowing Heaven and Earth!"
A terrifying suction erupted from the Peng’s beak, as if intending to devour the heavens and earth. The purple lightning in the sky was drawn by this suction, altering its course, cascading like a waterfall into the Peng’s beak.
Meanwhile, the "Yin Yang Qi Diagram" within Chen Sheng’s Dantian began to rotate rapidly, the black and white aura flowing along the meridians into the Peng’s beak, enveloping and refining the absorbed thunder power layer by layer.
Under the influence of the aura, the purple lightning gradually lost its violent aura, transforming into strands of pure energy, flowing into his body through the Peng’s beak, consolidating the newly broken through Demon Emperor Realm.
The thunderclouds in the sky grew increasingly thin, and after the final thunderbolt, as thick as a barrel, was absorbed into the Peng’s beak, the dark clouds dispersed, sunlight once again bathing the forbidden area.
Chen Sheng slowly retracted his true form, reverting to human shape. The dark robe reformed, appearing even more majestic. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
He waved his hand, the "Yin Yang Qi Diagram" transformed into a beam of light and landed in his palm. The black and white aura on the scroll was more intense than before, clearly having absorbed a substantial amount of thunder power as well.
"Breakthrough successful!"
Chen Sheng felt the overwhelming power of the Demon Emperor within him and the clear imprints of the two great Divine Techniques, "Five-Colored Divine Light" and "Swallowing Heaven and Earth," in his mind, and a trace of joy welled up in his heart.
...
When the Golden-Winged Roc that Chen Sheng transformed into swallowed the last bolt of Celestial Thunder, the dark clouds above the forbidden ground began to dissipate, and dozens of streams of light had already converged on the horizon far away.
Those were the Demon Emperors of the Great Wilderness Demon Court, attracted by the commotion of the Celestial Thunder Tribulation and the cry of the Golden-Winged Roc, rushing over to see what had happened.
The streams of light descended above the forbidden ground, transforming into figures; dozens of Demon Emperors hovered in mid-air, their gazes collectively directed towards Chen Sheng on the stone platform, their eyes full of shock.
At this moment, a golden light streaked past the group of Demon Emperors, revealing the figure of the Golden Feather Demon Venerable.
He was dressed in a Yin Yang Daoist Robe, and his presence as a Tier Five Demon Venerable instantly enveloped the entire scene, silencing the previously noisy atmosphere.
The dozens of Demon Emperors all bowed in greeting, their voices uniformly respectful, "Greetings to the Golden Feather Demon Venerable!"
The Golden Feather Demon Venerable nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Chen Sheng, unable to conceal the gratification in his eyes:
"You all arrived just in time to witness the birth of a new Demon Emperor of our Golden-Winged Roc Race."
Upon hearing this, the gathered Demon Emperors became even more astonished. They looked at Chen Sheng once more, noticing his body surrounded by a faint golden spirit light, the "Yin Yang Qi Diagram" slowly rotating in his palm, the light barrier woven with black and white Qi and the Power of the Five Elements exuded an authority not to be underestimated.
Despite just breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm, he had stabilized his realm to such a degree!
"So remarkably young!"
The Wood Dragon Demon Emperor couldn’t help but exclaim, his voice full of amazement:
"When I broke through to the Demon Emperor Realm, I was already nearly a thousand years old. His Highness broke through before fifty; truly worthy of a Half-Saint bloodline."
The surrounding Demon Emperors echoed eagerly:
"Not only young, but as you all saw earlier, His Highness directly swallowed the thunder to break through! The Celestial Thunder Tribulation is extremely perilous, showcasing His Highness’s mastery of the Swallowing Heaven and Earth Divine Technique, truly a remarkable talent!"
"Indeed, indeed! Such profound talent! In our Great Wilderness Demon Court, perhaps a truly peerless powerhouse is about to emerge!"
Among the discussion, a figure dressed in a pink court dress walked forward slowly—it was the Eldest Princess of the Great Wilderness Demon Court.
A Golden Roc Feather Hairpin adorned her hair, and joy shone in her eyes:
"Our Golden-Winged Roc Race has finally produced a peerless genius; with him, the future of our Great Wilderness Demon Court is sure to become even more prosperous."
The Golden Feather Demon Venerable heard this, his eyes flickering with golden flame, looking at the Eldest Princess with increased appreciation: "Chan’Er is quite right."
Just as the Golden Feather Demon Venerable finished speaking, a man and woman slowly stepped out—none other than the Peng Demon Emperor couple.
The Demon Emperors gathered around, and the once neat lineup instantly became lively, with everyone wearing sincere congratulatory smiles on their faces.
The Wood Element Demon Emperor, dressed in a blue robe, was the first to step forward, cupping his hands, his voice resonant:
"Peng Demon Emperor, congratulations! Prince Peng Huan broke through to the Demon Emperor Realm at such a young age and could swallow thunder to break through as the Golden Roc, such talent; like father, like son indeed!"
"Back when you broke through to the Demon Emperor Realm, though impressive, it was nowhere near as awe-inspiring as His Highness. You’ve truly raised a fine son!"
"Indeed, indeed!"
The Water Element Demon Emperor, draped in a water-patterned robe, also chimed in, holding a Water-Repelling Bead, the size of a fist, crystalline throughout, with what seemed to be flowing water slowly rotating inside:
"I discovered this Water-Repelling Bead deep in the Great Wilderness West Sea in my early years. Even though it’s only Tier Four Middle Grade, it allows free movement in any water and can block water attacks; consider it my gift to Prince Peng Huan, wishing him a smooth journey on his path of cultivation!"
Just as he finished speaking, a dark green figure squeezed through the crowd—it was the Myriad Snake Emperor, donned in a robe made of scales, with black snake patterns embroidered at the hem, carrying a Jade Box.
Opening the Jade Box revealed a pitch-black ore inside, with a faint ghostly light on its surface, delicate energy runes visible dancing within.
"Peng Demon Emperor, Peacock Emperor, this is ’Nine Nether Profound Iron,’ a Tier Four High Grade spiritual material, the core material for refining spiritual treasures. I’ve treasured it for hundreds of years, and today I present it to Prince Peng Huan!"
Seeing this, the other Demon Emperors also brought out the gifts they had prepared, and for a moment, variegated spirit lights converged before the Peng Demon Emperor couple, dazzling yet gentle on the eyes.
The Peng Demon Emperor couple quickly clasped their hands in thanks, their hearts swelling with pride and honor, yet remaining calm:
"You all flatter us. Our son’s achievements today are not due to any accomplishments of my wife and me, but thanks to Venerable’s attentive guidance..."
"Many thanks for your generous gifts. We’ll accept them on behalf of our son, with promises that he will visit and express his gratitude personally in the future."
