Chapter 295: Surge in Strength

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Wow!”

It was midday right now, and a lot of the people in the continent were astonished. Many of the people saw it clearly: there was a fiery red divine light that shot down from the nine heavens. They could feel the overwhelming presence of the divine light.

They had never seen such things, and it couldn’t be explained either; many of the people in the continent thought it was a miracle that descended. All of them knelt while facing the east and prostrated themselves in worship while praying with sincerity.

Jiang Bieli flew up into the air above the royal palace of the Divine Martial Kingdom. His eyes were filled with alarm as he looked in the far east while having this grave expression.

An old eunuch by the side of Xia Tingwei had this helpless expression while his eyes were filled with radiance. He reported with a serious tone. “Your Majesty. It seems like those nine rays of divine light that shot down at Mt. Fire Cloud previously was because the demon race’s emperor made contact with the laws of heaven and earth. This Demon Empress’ combat strength is about to grow even more drastically. If she didn’t comprehend an incredible dao pattern, then heaven and earth will not produce such an abnormal sign. Neither will it bestow the divine power of the stars.”

Xia Tingwei sighed lightly and said, “It seems like it is her. Fortunately, she is the demon race’s emperor. If the human race had such an absolute expert, things will be much more troublesome!”

The Vajra Realm martial experts from the Saint Spirit Kingdom, the Northern Mang Kingdom, the Northern Liang Kingdom, the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, the Azure Dragon Empire, Shui Youlan, Zhuge Qingyun, and the others were all shocked. Everyone had their doubts dispelled and was feeling deep envy. There were a few of them that were able to comprehend plenty of dao patterns, but none of them made contact with the laws of heaven and earth or obtained the divine power from the Nine Heaven Stars.

In their opinion—except for that demon race’s unique Demon Empress in the depths of Mt. Thirty Thousand, none of the demon race was able to contact the laws of heaven and earth or cause any heaven and earth anomaly.

They naturally assumed that the Mt. Fire Cloud’s heaven and earth anomaly was due to the Demon Empress. Apart from her, who else could leave so quickly? And didn’t even leave any trace of clues?

...

“Heaven and earth anomaly? Divine power from the Nine Heaven Stars?”

In a grand hall of the Emperor Palace, the Demon Empress—who was still in seclusion—suddenly opened her eyes!

Just as the heaven and earth energy had some abnormal signs, she immediately reached out with her divine senses and just happened to see that fiery red starlight burying into Jiang Yi’s body.

Her cool and elegant face was filled with surprise. Shui Youlan, Zhuge Qingyun, and the others had eyes of envy—so did she.

She stood up and locked her divine senses on Jiang Yi’s dantian and examined it for a moment. She found it unfathomable and lamented, “What kind of technique is this kid using to cultivate? Why did his dantian become like this? Why is he able to drive the power of the Nine Heaven Stars and evolve his essence force into true essence? Freak, freak! Actually possessing true essence before reaching the Heaven Monarch Realm. If this information is revealed, it will probably shock the whole Stellarsky Domain, right?”

The Demon Empress examined it for a very long time but was still clueless. Had it not been for the fact that she was of the demon race and Jiang Yi was of the human race—and that they had totally different constitution and cultivation methods, she would forcefully ask Jiang Yi for advice on his cultivation method.

“As expected, this kid didn’t disappoint me and is improving at a tremendous speed. I reckon that if he had a few more years of cultivation, protecting Xiao Fei will not be a problem, right? I... can also leave without any worries.”

After gaining nothing from examining Jiang Yi’s dantian, the Demon Empress didn’t care anymore. There was a satisfied expression on her face as she closed her eyes and went back to cultivating.

“This... this...”

Jiang Yi was shocked like never before on the sky platform. His consciousness was within the dantian earlier and was totally unaware of the situation on the outside. He could sense a huge amount of energy entering his body before it entered the first star sphere.

He didn’t know where the energy came from, but he didn’t have the luxury to bother about it now. Using his inner vision, he looked at the first star sphere in his dantian. His mind was filled with astonishment; this star sphere had turned completely fiery red.

Most importantly... the black essence force inside had turned into fiery red essence force!

All the spirit energy in the heaven and earth had its own attributes while the martial artists in the world cultivated techniques of different attributes as well, producing that certain type of essence force which was of the technique’s attribute.

Like the Jiang Water Art which Jiang Yi originally cultivated was able to produce water type essence force. Once a martial artist cultivated a certain type of technique’s attribute, they would only be able to cultivate techniques that had the same attribute in their lifetime and would only be able to possess that essence force of the same attribute.

This was the common knowledge on this continent. If someone cultivated a wood attribute essence force, then they would only be able to produce wood attribute essence force—which was green—until the moment they die.

Of course... Jiang Yi was a freak. After he cultivated the Nameless Divine Art, his body produced two different attributes of essence force while the black essence force could even fuse with the blue essence force. Afterward, when his dantian transformed, the blue essence forces vanished; and all turned into black essence force, causing him a lot of shock.

But now...

All the black essence force in his dantian had vanished and entered the first star sphere. After the intervention of the unknown energy, his black essence force had all turned into fiery red essence force. How was he not astonished by it?

“Essence force, come out!”

After being in a daze for a long time, Jiang Yi forced himself to calm down as he immersed his thoughts into the fiery red star sphere. He then channeled some fiery red essence force to his palm.

“Uh... why is the presence of this essence force so intense?”

Once the essence force appeared in his palm, Jiang Yi was surprised again.

The intensive presence that was released by the essence force even caused him to feel fearful. Furthermore, this essence force felt somewhat different from before; but he didn’t know how different it was. He couldn’t see it either.

“Go out and test it!”

It wasn’t beneficial to think so much; the result would be revealed once he tried to attack the surroundings and check its power. He didn’t dare to randomly attack within the sky platform; he stood up and quickly walked down.

Once he opened the door to the sky platform, he saw the little fox and Jiang Xiaonu waiting at the staircase entrance. When the little fox saw Jiang Yi, its eyes immediately lit up as it sent a message: “Big Brother, what happened earlier? Why did a ray of divine light shoot into the sky platform? Are you alright?”

Jiang Xiaonu asked nervously as well, “Young Master, there was this terrifying divine light that shot into the sky platform...”

After he listened to both their concerns, he was even more suspicious now. He didn’t explain much and just swiftly went out of the Emperor Palace. He took out the Fire Dragon Sword and channeled the red essence force out of the fiery red star sphere. He then poured it into the Fire Dragon Sword and vigorously cleaved downwards.

He wanted to see the difference between this fiery red essence force and the previous black essence force. The easiest way to do it was to release his strongest attack move and check its power.

The Fire Dragon Sword was his strongest attack move.

Tsk-Tsk!

The Fire Dragon Sword instantly surged with red light as there was a horrifying aura that came from it. Two fire dragons swiftly congealed in the sword, revolved, and swam around before two giant fire dragons that were more than 60 meters in length whizzed out vigorously.

Boom!

The fire dragons penetrated into the surface of the Fairy Peak, causing a tremor in the nearby surface of the ground—even the Emperor Palace at the back shook a little. Smoke and dust rose up, and there was a giant crack that was elongating forward, extending more than 300 meters before it ended.

“Hmph! Jiang Yi, are you trying to destroy my Fairy Peak?”

His ears exploded with a resonating sound as a slightly infuriated voice echoed. Several horrific auras burst towards this direction from below the mountain peak. It was obviously because Jiang Yi’s attack alerted the nearby Demon Kings.

“Ji-Ji!”

The little fox was terrified, and when she saw a garish and beautiful woman appear in mid-air, it immediately leaped into her arms. Xiaonu saw the woman and was immediately startled as she knelt with terror and greeted, “Greetings to the Demon Empress.”

“Uh...”

Jiang Yi looked through the smoke that filled the air and gulped when saw the crack that was over 300 meters long, several meters wide, and immeasurably deep. He turned around and bowed to the Demon Empress while speaking apologetically, “Demon Empress, my strength had some weird transformation! I was urgent to find out how much my strength had increased! I had overlooked it...”

The Demon Empress glanced at Jiang Yi with cold eyes and spoke indifferently, “Hmph, what is there to test about?! You combat strength can match up with a human that is at the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm. I reckon that... you will be comparable to a Vajra Realm martial expert when your third star sphere has transformed. Jiang Yi, your cultivation art is very mystical; and it doesn’t seem like it belongs to the Stellarsky Continent. Where did you obtain it?”
