บท 55: Tatsuya's Cultivation Path

The Grand Asura Kingdom is very large, spanning thousands of kilometers as its territory. The event that took place which killed two Divine Practitioner in the process is hidden from the eyes of the world. No one knew that such thing took place within the kingdom.

After Tatsuya and Fenlong retrieved Xiao Che and the other divine practitioner, they immediately went towards the Wasteland of Death. Just like what Tatsuya promised, he would let Fenlong take the inheritance and try his luck.

"I see… The Evil God's Divine Veins truly is the epitome of the profound veins. The capability of this Evil God's Divine Veins does not suit Xiao Che at all."

Along the way, Tatsuya had already focused his attention on the Evil God's Divine Veins on Xiao Che's body. He could see that the young man's body will not be able to exhibit the full potential of these set of profound veins.

The Evil God's Divine Veins has two remarkable abilities: absolute immunity towards the elements, and the ability to borrow strength without any backlash. The absolute immunity applies to the five basic lower elements (water, fire, wind, lightning, earth) and two higher level element (life, death).

However, this is just a mere conception by the Primordial Gods that existed back in Ancient Era. Even the Heretic God himself was unaware that the true remarkable ability of the Evil God's Divine Veins is the ability to gain absolute control over every element in existence!

When the Ancestral God split into several life shards, what really gave birth to the Heretic God is the core shard of the Ancestral God. The core shard contains most of the Ancestral God's power, one of those power is the ability to freely manipulate every element in the Primal Chaos Dimension.

"However, even the Ancestral God failed to merge the elements to form the energy that can allow her to attain complete omnipotence over this dimension. The treasure within Xia Qingyue can form that energy but… I doubt that it's that easy."

The reason why Ancestral God died is due to her own greed. She despised the bounds and restrains placed upon her by the Primal Chaos that gave birth to her. She wanted to explore the limitless vast world outside the Primal Chaos Dimension.

"In the end, her efforts failed and her power landed onto the Heretic God Ni Xuan. Currently, Xiao Che possesses the Evil God's Divine Veins but his future looks extremely bleak."

Tatsuya inwardly thought to himself. His innate ability Astral Dispersion allowed him to gain a high degree of understanding towards the soul. He could see that within Xiao Che's soul is a thread of the Ancestral God's wisp of soul.

"Even if he cultivates earnestly for millions of years, his efforts will just be stolen by the Ancestral God. What a really cruel and greedy woman."

Tatsuya thought to himself, while his Eidos Manipulation ability slowly edited the profound veins inside his own body. He had finally gathered everything he needed to create the best profound veins. After all, his profound veins needed to suit his powers which basically encompassed everything in existence.

Tatsuya's innate abilities can easily help him overturn the whole Primal Chaos Dimension. Basically, his combat prowess had already reached an unimaginable height. If he unleashed his powers without any care, he is confident enough that he can ignore the cultivation realm and freely slain anyone.

"The Mirror of Samsara already affected Xiao Che too much. He now even has a false sense of invincibility that he can take on anyone and he can reach whatever heights it is."

Tatsuya had decided to erase specific memories from Xiao Che's mind, allowing him to lead a decent life together with his foster grandfather and aunt. He even went as far to remove the Ancestral God's wisp of soul, lest it give Tatsuya trouble in the future.

After Tatsuya had copied the template of Evil God's Divine Veins, he removed the Evil God's Divine Veins from Xiao Che. Afterwards, he gave him a decent profound veins that he can use to cultivate. In this way, his karma towards Xiao Che will be completed.

Before going to the Wasteland of Death, Tatsuya and Fenlong dropped Xiao Che to the Xiao Clan. They did not linger any longer, leaving the young man inside his grandfather's quarters. Before they went far, they heard the surprised cries of Xiao Che's relatives.

"This karma is now completed…"

Tatsuya could sense the strings of fate around Xiao Che that bound him to the huge responsibility, turn into wisp of smoke, finally vanishing into thin-air. The karma connecting the Ancestral God and Xiao Che is finally gone, while it tried to attach itself to Tatsuya.

Tatsuya is not like Xiao Che who can be easily fooled. The Mirror of Samsara within his soul spun rapidly, deflecting the karma till it finally vanishes without any trace left. The karma around the Primal Chaos Dimension suddenly began to change.

The heavens of every lower realm and upper realm showed signs of phenomenon. The heavens uttered a sharp cry of helplessness in a form of heavy rain. This phenomenon affected everyone, as they sensed the sadness of heavens, as if it was abandoned by something.

Even the strongest practitioners in the upper realm darkened their face, suspicions grew inside their hearts. They felt the rapid change in the Primal Chaos Dimension, though not as vivid as Tatsuya, they managed to feel that something huge will happen soon.

"Master…"

Fenlong noticed the changes in heavens, as he instinctively felt that it was directly connected to Tatsuya. The former felt more reverent, while he stared at Tatsuya with his big eyes that twinkled in excitement. Tatsuya just helplessly waved his hand.

The Eidos Manipulate innate ability of Tatsuya had begun changing the profound veins inside Tatsuya's body. Every template that he had gathered so far merged into a perfect profound veins that suited Tatsuya the most.

Origin. The Origin is the profound veins that Tatsuya created. It has direct complete immunity towards everything under the heavens. As such, he also had absolute power to manipulate everything under heavens. The elements can now be freely wielded by Tatsuya himself.

The profound veins inside Tatsuya slowly transformed and turned translucent in the process. There are countless spots of light inside his profound veins, resembling the starry sky and space. The profound energy in the surroundings directly rushed to Tatsuya, shocking Fenlong in the process.

Tatsuya and Fenlong is currently flying to the Wasteland of Death, but they suddenly stopped because of the shocking changes around Tatsuya's body. Fenlong could only stare at his master in shock.

The profound energy entered Tatsuya's body and transformed into Primal Origin Energy. The elements in the surroundings looked like they had seen their emperor, forming strange changes in the surroundings. The elements looked like they are prostrating to Tatsuya.

The profound energy inside Tatsuya's body completely became Primal Origin Energy. His cultivation base vanished alongside the presence of profound energy. Tatsuya is the only one who knew his current level of strength. However, his full level of strength can't be unleashed.

"Lower realms can't handle my current level of power, huh."

Tatsuya said to himself, while he purposely manipulated the energy inside his body. He could feel that his prowess had entered an entirely new dimension. In the end, Tatsuya felt like he had wasted his time cultivating back then.

His newly created profound veins is something that didn't initially exist in the Primal Chaos Dimension. He could not even find any information about such godly profound veins in the Information Dimension, while he also doubted that even Quintessential Dimension had information about his profound veins.

Tatsuya created his profound veins using his own knowledge! His body also began to transform into an unimaginable degree, directly distorting the space around him. His mass became heavier and heavier surpassing the weight of a black hole!

"M-master! What's happening?!"

Fenlong directly retreated from Tatsuya's body who had been covered by distortion of space. He can't sense Tatsuya's presence anymore, while he also did not dare to charge ahead of him. He could see that those distortions can instantly erase him from the face of the planet!

Rumble!

An invisible ripple suddenly appeared with Tatsuya being the center of it. The distortion of space instantly stopped, while the ripple spread across the entire Primal Chaos Dimension. Every single being in the Primal Chaos suddenly felt something.

They could instinctively feel that something beyond the Primal Chaos Dimension is now bearing down upon their body, as they felt an extremely vast amount of pressure. This feeling only lasted for an instant, but they all felt as if that single instant lasted for eternity.

"Hm… As expected, my cultivation path deviated from the Profound Way."

Tatsuya mumbled to himself, as he directly sensed that his cultivation now deeply depended on how much he can freely control the elements around him.

His new cultivation path only consisted of four stages. Each stage encompassed a set amount of elements that Tatsuya needed to fully control. Upon gaining full control over that element will he finally breakthrough to another stage.

His new cultivation stages are as follows: Base God, High God, Supreme God, and lastly God of Origin. These are Tatsuya's new cultivation stages and each step is vastly powerful compared to another.

Currently, Tatsuya only had partial control over Lightning element which is needed for him to fully reach the stage of Base God. This specific stage needed Tatsuya to fully gain control over the five basic lower elements: water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth.

Tatsuya's inheritance from the White Tiger God allowed him to already have partial full control over the lightning element. Now, Tatsuya only needed more time to completely master the Divine Lightning Art and gain complete control over the lightning element.

"…Master?"

Fenlong finally spoke, while he stared at Tatsuya who is hovering in the air. He could feel that the Tatsuya before him is completely different. The vast and deep power within Tatsuya's eyes made his disciple tremble.

Tatsuya heard Fenlong speak, as he smiled at the latter. He knew that Fenlong wanted to ask many things, but it was not the right time. Tatsuya right now is not even at Base God level. However, his control over the other elements already surpassed almost everyone.

He might not be at the Base God level, but Tatsuya is confident that he can now massacre countless Divine Master Realm cultivator. Once he reached Base God level would he be confident that he can directly contend with Creation Gods.

Tatsuya's cultivation has always been unfathomable and too unbalanced. Right now, he directly jumped to True God cultivation base. However, he didn't feel anything about it. His innate abilities had longed surpassed the limits of mortals. He had just been waiting for the right time to directly ascend.

"I really wasted a year of cultivation…"

Tatsuya might have still tried to use the Profound Way as his cultivation path, but he fortunately met Xiao Che and was able to heavily inspect the Evil God's Profound Veins. He already believed from the start that the profound veins are directly related to the level of strength.

He didn't believe at the fact that people needed to store profound energy in their profound veins. What he believed is control over the energy and elements. This is the true cultivation path that definitely suited him.

His body and soul now at the level of True God, he had extreme confidence at fighting against the Primordial Azure Dragon. The two heavenly profound treasures also began to change under the influence of vast Primal Chaos Energy inside Tatsuya's body.

The fusion of the two heavenly profound treasure became more unfathomable. The Mirror of Samsara began to show signs of awakening while the Sky Poison Pearl slowly regained its original form. The Divine Practitioner inside the Sky Poison Pearl don't possess any threat to Tatsuya at his current level of strength.

"Fenlong… The cultivation for you will be arduous and hard…"

Tatsuya stared at Fenlong, with a smile on his face. The unfathomable aura around Tatsuya's body vanished, he looked like an ordinary mortal now but is still extraordinary handsome.

"M-master… Why do I feel like you are vastly stronger now compared to those two Divine Dragons?"

Fenlong tremblingly stared at his master in excitement. He felt like his decision to become Tatsuya's companion is his life's best fortune.

"I really am…"

"Good heavens!"

Fenlong felt his heart tremble in shock. He imagined the cultivation base beyond the Divine Tribulation Realm. He asked himself whether Tatsuya had reached the next level Divine Spirit Realm, completely unaware that his master had become a real True God.

"Let's go, Fenlong. Let's see if you'll be so lucky as to receive the inheritance of the Dragon God."

Tatsuya smiled, as he instantly appeared beside Fenlong. Before his disciple had any chance to speak, he waved his hand, directly teleporting before the lair where the Primordial Azure Dragon is sleeping.

Fenlong can only stare at his master in shock, noticing that Tatsuya did not even need to use the formation diagram to manipulate the space. He felt that he was very wrong about Tatsuya reaching the Divine Spirit Realm. Just from that momentarily show of power, he felt that Tatsuya's strength had already reached a level he can't fathom…
