Chương 51: Grass Leaf Village

"Fenlong, have you prepared?"

Fenlong stood straight like a spear, emitting no wondrous aura. He seems like a scholar but Tatsuya could vividly see the tyrannical dragon aura residing within his lean body. It seems that his cultivation base has stabilized at the seventh stage of Emperor Profound Realm after cultivating at the Phoenix God's grounds.

"Yes, Master."

Fenlong respectfully answered, as he stealthily inspected his master. He can't spot any difference, but his instincts told him otherwise. Something terrifying has occurred when Tatsuya left them to seclude himself.

Fenlong couldn't put his fingers and reveal the changes within Tatsuya, but he was sure that his master became even more terrifying at this point.

Tatsuya smiled at Fenlong's contemplating expression. He can't bother to explain himself. He, himself, was also surprised by his transformation. It was an unexpected gain which wasn't planned at all.

When he created his innate new ability, Astral Dispersion, he actually broke through to a higher level. His cultivation base jumped and stabilized at the First Stage of Tyrant Profound Realm. His cultivation seems pretty godly for others' perspective, but for Tatsuya, it's alright.

The colossal energy within Tatsuya is more than proof enough that he already deserved to be at the Peak of Sovereign Profound Realm. His cultivation and combat prowess is already beyond the comprehension of mortals, or even the fake gods from God Realm.

Tatsuya can't help but think of the terrifying pressure that descended onto them when he battled the Divine Realm Practitioner. Even he felt surprised by the magnitude of their pursuers' power. But now, that kind of power level won't even enter his eyes. He might not be able to defeat someone of that level right now, but if it's just a mere Soul Form or Soul Fragment, he's more than confident. No matter how powerful they are, before Tatsuya's new innate ability, they're just chickens waiting to be slain.

"Good then."

Hearing Fenlong's answer, Tatsuya nodded in appreciation. He had already bid his farewell to Chu Xin and Mo Yan'er. Chu Xin was reluctant to let Tatsuya and Fenlong go by themselves, but she knew that she's not in any position to stop them.

"Shall we go?"

Tatsuya stepped forward, as an archaic formation diagram appeared out of his body. It enveloped the space around them, completely occupying a huge range, while emitting a very dominant force.

The Phoenix God sensed the powerful power that is liberating the space, as she could only suck a mouthful of surprise. She could sense that the formation diagram that Tatsuya used is nearing in power to the Heavenly Profound Treasure, World Piercer!

The Whole Phoenix God's grounds was shrouded by the formation diagram that is hovering and filling the skies above Tatsuya and Fenlong. Feng Xue'er who had just arrived from the Divine Phoenix City was also stunned by the show of power.

"Yes, Master."

Fenlong nodded, as he stood by Tatsuya's side. The formation diagram moved towards them and coiled around their figure like a dragon swimming across the skies, unparalleled and mighty.

Tatsuya's eyes brightened, while Fenlong prepared himself. The formation diagram suddenly emitted a bright light that blinded everything in the Phoenix God's grounds. This bright light did not last long and slowly vanished together with Tatsuya's and Fenlong's figure.

They had teleported into the Grand Asura Empire!

…

"Master, where are we right now?"

Fenlong asked his master, who was standing by his side. They were both looking ordinary and simple clothes. Tatsuya used his innate ability, Eidos Manipulation, to change their appearance into a simpler one.

"Grass Leaf Village within the Grand Asura Empire."

Tatsuya teleported into a random village in the Grand Asura Empire. He could sense the prominent divine sense of the two dragons who captured or brought Xiao Che and the Divine Realm Practitioners.

He wasn't sure whether the two dragons can still communicate with the Dragon God in the Wasteland of Death. Although, he knew that he should be able to destroy both sides using his new innate ability, there's no harm in being more careful. After all, they're dealing with beings that possessed Divine Tribulation Realm cultivation base. Such power might seem insignificant in the God Realm, but in the Lower Realms, it's very unusual.

Also, he didn't want to offend the Dragon God because he wanted the inheritance to benefit Fenlong. Dragons are dragons, humans are humans. Tatsuya knew almost everything about cultivation via his innate ability, Elemental Sight.

Every human that was born should be humans, while dragons should be dragons. Changing your own race bloodline will indeed make you stronger, but it won't allow you to break free from the bounds of the Primal Chaos. Only when you can acknowledge your own weakness and strength, will you be able to actually become stronger than anyone.

If Fenlong managed to pass the Dragon God's inheritance exam, it will be his gains because of his own efforts. The Dragon God's inheritance suited dragons the most. Even if a human possessed a very powerful profound veins but if their race bloodline is impure, it won't allow them to break free from the chains of Primal Chaos.

"Fenlong, can you sense the Divine Sense filling the whole Grand Asura Empire?"

Tatsuya asked Fenlong because he wanted to know whether Fenlong already possessed the capability to perceive the senses of the two dragons. Even if he didn't right now, he would soon be able to, depending on his own growth.

"I can't sense the Divine Sense, Master. But I could sense the terrifying dragon aura filling the whole Grand Asura Empire."

Fenlong answered weakly, with a wry smile on his face. His body is right now in intense pressure. It is bloodline suppression of the dragons. If a stronger dragon faced a weak dragon, the weak dragon would immediately crumble because of the suppression.

When a dragon become stronger, his bloodline becomes purer too. This made a huge difference in each realm of the dragon race. The Dragon God possessed the purest bloodline, thus could instantly suppress any supreme dragons in this heaven.

If Fenlong could manage to possess the Dragon God's blood, his bloodline would become pure enough to ignore the Bloodline Suppression. At least, even before a truly strong dragon, he wouldn't immediately crumble.

"Let's stay at this village first, and I'll wait for you to get used to the pressure."

Tatsuya and Fenlong went inside to the village and asked for some places to stay in. Tatsuya only paid a few profound coins and managed to get a decent looking hut that could house two people. This was the place where both of them would stay till Fenlong could get used to the pressure.

Actually, Tatsuya intended to bring Fenlong to hone himself against Bloodline Suppression. The suppression can help Fenlong break through even faster, because his bloodline is continuously stimulated by the pressure of the two dragons.

When they arrived at the small hut, Fenlong immediately went ahead and secluded himself. Tatsuya helped him by placing multiple formation diagram that would allow him to be undisturbed the whole time.

"…I could sense the aura of those two."

Tatsuya talked to himself, as his Elemental Sight could decipher the location of Xiao Che and the Divine Realm Practitioner. He felt surprised when the Divine Realm Practitioner didn't even bother to hide herself. It seems that her injury from the fight weakened her to the point that she can't even hide herself from Divine Tribulation Realm dragons.

Tatsuya's eyes shone, as he recalled that the Divine Realm Practitioner is just weak right now. If she recovered her divine body, she would become strong enough to hunt down Tatsuya and his companions by herself. This isn't something that Tatsuya would let to happen.

*Knock.Knock*

Suddenly, someone knocked to their door which surprised Tatsuya. His line of thought was interrupted, but it wasn't something to get angry about. He had already reached the point where he could already liberate his emotion, neither feeling happy or sad over something.

He slowly opened the door and saw a decently looking young lady. Beside her is a little boy who's looking at him with curiosity and interest. They were carrying a steamed pie, obviously fresh-cooked.

"Hello, we're from the next house and your neighbor. I'm Da Yan and this is my brother Da Yun. Please accept our gift to you."

Tatsuya felt weird by her sudden introduction, but could only nod his head as an answer. It seemed that their tradition is as such that they would greet their new neighbors like this. However, they seemed to misunderstand as Tatsuya and Fenlong won't really stay here for too long.

"Thank you for the gift. I'm… Xue Wangzi."

Da Yan smiled at Tatsuya's respectful introduction and acceptance of their gift. Da Yun, however, stared at Tatsuya with curiosity and interest. Tatsuya can't help but gaze at the young boy. He smiled at the little boy.

Da Yun seemed shocked, as he hid quickly behind his sister. Da Yan smiled apologetically at Tatsuya for his brother.

"Sorry, my brother is just shy…"

"It's nothing and I understand."

Tatsuya shook his head, as he expressed his understanding towards the two siblings. They were both simple and ordinary, mortals that weren't cultivators.

"Then, we'll be going!"

"Thank you for the gift again."

Tatsuya saw the two siblings vanish from his sight, as they entered their own home. He slowly closed the door of the small hut that they had paid for. His eyes went indifferent and flashed. He could sense a bloody stench attached to the two siblings.

It wasn't something that came from them, but something that seems to be tracking them. It is something that Tatsuya sensed the moment he came here. All mortals seemed to be locked by someone. Tatsuya could already guess that it's a cultivator.

Tatsuya just went ahead and brought this thought into the back of his mind. If the cultivator dared to attach that tracker onto him, he's courting death. Even then, Tatsuya is interested how things will go from here on.

"A bloody stench… a cultivator that practices devil cultivation technique."

Tatsuya smiled, as he felt that things are getting interesting. In the whole Profound Continent, he knew that only a single place could be connected to devils, the Eternal Night Royal Family. It is a Sacred Ground of the past who was eliminated with the combined efforts of the current Four Sacred Grounds.

He knew their history because his constant access to the Information Dimension. He was interested in the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword. That sword is the only Sovereign Profound Level Sword in the whole Blue Pole Star. It is infinitesimal weak compared to the Demon Condemning Sword, but it's very decent.

Tatsuya then stopped thinking about the devils and demon stuff, as he locked the whole small hut with formation diagrams. He brought out the Demon Condemning Sword, as he formed a simple striking stance.

Tatsuya had began practicing the Way of Sword again. His body connected to the sword, existing as one. His body entered the State of Equilibrium, as his Supreme Territory aided his comprehension. Tatsuya soon got lost in his practice and ignored everything around him.
