The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?-Chapter 410 407- The Truth (2)
The darkness of the night was washed away under the light of the crimson pillar.
Shi Lei Hu who was fast approaching saw these pillars of flames even from several thousand kilometers away.
"What is that? Such strong elemental fire laws, it's even disturbing the Spiritual Qi at this distance."
Meanwhile Shi Lei Hu was marveling at the pillar of flames from a distance the few disciples who were still conscious on the ship were witnessing it from front-row seats.
The heat bombarded them despite the pillar of flames being several hundred meters away. The light from it also blinded them for a moment as it was like looking at a second sun.
The pillar of flames had gone down far enough to enter the ocean below and caused the water to bubble and evaporate. It also pierced the clouds in the sky blowing them apart, but at a certain altitude, it was suddenly stopped by an invisible force.
Sea King Modu who was the closest wished he could be as far away from here as he could be. The heat from these flames was torture as it lit him aflame.
For Soul Transformation Realm cultivators, not only would their souls transform to a higher existence, but so would their bodies. After interacting with the Heavenly Laws for so long, their bodies would be reborn anew and have the laws themselves as their foundation.
It wouldn't be a stretch to call the body of a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator a miniature universe.
A Law Physique
With a Law Physique, a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator would be in-tuned with the Heavenly Laws; allowing them to comprehend them more freely.
It also strengthens their bodies where the strongest Daoist Magic Spells and Divine Abilities couldn't affect them.
However, Sea King Modu could feel his body scorching. These flames weren't ordinary, they destroyed his body and the laws that made up its foundation.
While enduring the pain and retreating, Sea King Modu looked at Yang Su in the middle of these crimson flames with horror.
"Just-Just who are you? No, what are you?"
Yang Su who had flames all over his body looked down at his hands. He then ignored Sea King Modu and began looking around. He seemed dazed and out of it.
Sea King Modu seeing this didn't know what was happening to him, or why he suddenly gained such power, but he was no longer interested in trying to kidnap him.
'Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!!'
Sea King Modu roared internally as he turned and flew away.
All of this was for nothing! He had sacrificed everything for the opportunity to have the power of the Heavenly Palace Realm but he got nothing in return!
His clone was damaged beyond repair and his drop of blood essence had lost a portion of its power.
Sea King Modu was absolutely livid. However, as long as he could salvage this clone and the drop of essence blood projection it won't be so bad. He had even obtained a Supreme-grade Spirit Artifact as well as that sword energy. If he could refine that sword energy with his original body he could have a trump card for the future.
'Yes, my efforts were in vain but I can salvage this.'
Sea King Modu thought as he used everything to flee.
However, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes land on his back and his scalp went numb.
He turned around to see Yang Su had trained his gaze on him. However, those weren't the eyes of that brat himself but of something else.
It was the eyes of an entity that caused Sea King Modu's blood to run cold. This entity felt ancient, like a God who was from a time long forgotten.
"This-This…"
Sea King Modu felt his body tremble uncontrollably. It was involuntary because he had never experienced such a feeling before, the aura Yang Su was giving off made him feel like a lesser being in front of the Heavens themselves.
As Sea King Modu was frozen stiff because of Yang Su's gaze, he saw Yang Su slowly raising his hand.
He was going to die. If he didn't do something he was going to die. It wasn't just his clone that was feeling this but his original body as well.
"Nooo! Great being, please have mercy!"
Sea King Modu suddenly cried out and somehow find the strength to back peddle, but with a gesture of Yang Su's hand crimson flames leap from the void and fully engulfed Sea King Modu.
Sea King Modu tried to bring out the Heavenly Parchment and burn the drop of essence blood to empower it, but as soon as he brought it out his remaining hand turned to ash and it fell.
"Wha-What?"
Sea King Modu was both shocked and horrified as he watched his body slowly burn away. First his legs, then his torso, his chest, and then his head.
In less than a breath's worth of time, a late-stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator was burnt to death. If news of this were to spread it would shock all the Majors powers on the four Continents.
But it could be said that Sea King Modu's clone after being injured so severely barely had the strength of an Early Nascent Realm cultivator, perhaps if he had his original strength he would have been able to escape death.
After Sea King Modu was killed, something about Yang Su changed. The ancient aura around him increased like it was slowly being awakened each time Yang Su used his fire element.
As this happened the dazed state of Yang Su deepened.
At the same time the ancient aura increased the flames around Yang Su suddenly swirled around him violently, before transforming into a cape that attached itself to his back.
Two curved horns also appeared on his forehead along with another pair of eyes on his face, however, these features were faint and almost seem illusory.
The crimson flames in the surroundings became chaotic and seemed to be jumping with joy at these changes.
"BASTARD!!"
A roar suddenly echoed out that caused the crimson flames and pillar to falter.
Where Sea King Modu's figure was burnt away, the purple drop of essence blood was there floating in the air.
It then began shining with a bright light and a project of some kind of monster appeared.
This monster had a long body with hair-like spikes covering it. Where its head was supposed to be was only a mouth that when opened reveal the many teeth it had.
What was really strange about this monster was that there were features on it that seemed unnatural. Like the two horns on its head and with gills at the side of it that would open up to show that it was in an enraged state.
It resemble a giant leech, but these unnatural features made it seem like it was transforming into a serpent-like creature.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
The monster was Sea King Modu's original body that had been slumbering while in recovery. When his clone died its memories had been transferred to his original body and he was immediately enraged.
As Sea King Modu's projection roared furiously he opened his gaping mouth and released a beam of black energy at Yang Su.
However, Yang Su simply waved his hand and the crimson flames heeded his command and formed a shield to block the attack.
The power of the clash was by no means weak, Yang Su has knocked away and the pillar of flames faltered before slowly starting to shrink.
Sea King Modu's projection began fading away as the power from his clone's blood essence ran out.
However, before he fade away his attention remained on Yang Su to the very end. He took notice of the ancient aura that seemed to be slowly awakening.
'Not yet, this isn't over yet.'
*Cough* f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
*Cough*
Yang Su coughed up a mouth full of blood.
Regardless of the aura he was radiating, it seemed like it was merely an illusion. An attack from an existence of the Soul Transformation Realm was still something he who was merely in the Foundation Realm couldn't stand up to.
However, given that he didn't directly die, it could be seen that the crimson flames he wielded were strange in nature.
The darkness of the night soon returned as the pillar of flames fully fade away. However, the aura surrounding Yang Su was still getting stronger.
Holding his head, Yang Su felt like someone was taking a sledgehammer and bashing it against his skull repeatedly.
'Why are you fighting back? You wanted power, I can give it to you as long as you submit.' ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
A voice suddenly said.
"N-No, I don't want your power."
Yang Su struggle to say and his dazed eyes gained a bit of clarity.
'It's useless to resist, the process has already begun. Once it's complete you'll have fully inherent my Flames of Gluttony. No one will ever be able to use you and you'd have the strength to fulfill your deepest desires. Just give in and become my successor.'
"Nev-Never, I'll never accept this kind of power."
There was a tug and war inside Yang Su. The Fire Qi from his Divine Platform was doing everything it could to force out the other elements, but Yang Su was circulating his Cultivation Method vigorously to force it back.
However, he could barely keep his consciousness. If he were to return to that daze state he would be helpless to resist.
In a split-second, Yang Su decided to release his Fire Qi without restraint. Roaring crimson flames burst from his body and he went all out to release his Fire Qi.
The ancient aura increased around him, but at the same time, the Fire Qi in his dantian was reducing. Yang Su continue to circulate his Cultivation Method and his other elements finally had room to fight back.
However, the flames he was releasing blanketed the sky and spread to reach the ship.
The elder was barely able to form a hand seal to erect the ship's weakened barrier, but cracks immediately formed on it.
"Senior disciple brother…"
Jun seeing Yang Su like this felt that this situation was all his fault, he couldn't do anything to help him.
"Jun, what's happening to Yang Su?"
Lihua turned and asked Jun.
The others who didn't know what was happening to Yang Su turned to Jun for answers as well.
