Celestial Peak

Chapter 256: Improvement

Wang Ling is facing the tribulation like it is nothing. His qi and body already got used to the presence of tribulation and its strength that he just absorbs them to increase his strength. For him, a tribulation is just-food.

Nothing more, nothing less. But this is just the beginning and Wang Ling will surely reach a point where his tribulation will become as strong as the tribulation of a Celestial even though he is just a mere Dominion Realm cultivator.

But this will come for later as Wang Ling exhaled and left the decimated area he had just been. He left and went back to the cave in order to recuperate and review the information he had just received from the two breakthroughs he had.

A day after the tribulation, Wang Ling was already in tiptop shape. His qi was filled to the brim and was already at the peak of Dominion Realm level-1. The previous lightning tribulation had truly become food for him.

He opened his eyes and checked the changes in his body. Just like before, his external muscles and skin had improved tremendously. His strength, speed, agility, vitality, and many more increased after one breakthrough.

After checking such changes, Wang Ling observed the lines that appeared after his ascension from Greater Holy Lord to a [Grand Holy Lord].  The lines were like veins, but the positions of these veins were weirdly placed all over his neck and back so he disregarded any connection.

The tattoo that spread out below his body was also there as if it is an accessory. These two changes remained invisible unless his bloodline is activated. Other than that, nothing else is noteworthy in terms of physical appearance. He got his third halo and his third pair of wings.

Inside, Wang Ling's qi was already at least twice as strong as before and even more. He estimated he could beat a level-5 Dominion Realm Beasts if he really tries. Meaning, on the first layer of the Red Lands, Wang Ling had become a top predator.

Wang Ling was happy and was ready to head out and hunt for beasts, but he needed to wait as he wanted to review the information he inherited from his bloodlines. He began going through them at noon and ended near midnight as he was thoroughly combing out any information he can get from this information.

[The information I got about the bloodline and its origin is nothing but useless bits of trivia. So, after reaching True Devil King, I can command other Devils that are lower than me in terms of rank in their blood. But that does not include beasts that look down upon me as that is natural. The Grand Holy Lord possesses an extreme kind of healing capability that a wound can heal instantaneously if I focus on it.] Wang Ling raised a brow and wanted to try it out so he cut himself and the cut instantaneously healed.

[The healing capability had indeed become more obvious, minor injuries are nothing but a scratch to me now if I have enough qi to support it. Also, the True Devil King bloodline gives strength that can generate the force of 1,000,000 kilograms in a strike. Meaning, he had also increased the amount of weight he can wield.

If he pushes himself, he can very well try out 200,000 swords. Although it will be taxing, wielding such a sword is a devastating thing to behold. Wang Ling sighed at the delight he was feeling before moving on to the innate techniques he had inherited.

First would be the Grand Holy Lord Bloodline. He received two innate abilities, first would be something known as [Divine Light]. A simple ability that opens a path from the Heavens and into this world to provide a Divine Light that heals the weak and injured.

The Second innate ability was [Noble's Divine Pride]. It was the first technique he got the term Noble in it. The term Noble had always been foreign and new to Wang Ling for the past few days as he has no idea what it truly is. But from what he gathered from this technique, Noble is a supreme being.

The Noble's Divine Pride is an innate characteristic or ability however one sees it is something of a cheat ability. The Noble's Divine Pride is an ability that is always on, and its ability to some degree is to have the four general elements of the universe to lessen its attacking capability when its powers are directed at him.

Meaning, the element of wind, fire, air, and earth had its strength lessened when used against Wang Ling. From the information he got, the Holy Lords of the past bestowed the universe of its elements so it was natural that their creation will not turn its sword towards them.

It was a technique that is the bane of most sects. Wang Ling was satisfied at these two so he moved on to the True Devil King Bloodline. The Bloodline's innate techniques he managed to inherit was also quite capable.

The first technique would be an improved version of his Soul Devourer, [Soul King]. A simple ability that gests upgraded so that his absorption of soul increases quicker. The last one would be the thing Wang Ling was pretty interested in.

[The [Hell Noble's Wrath], it is like the Noble's Divine Pride, but unlike that one I have no idea what this one do as I have no information regarding this one. But from its name I think it has something to do with being angered or something closely related to that. I do not know what it is but I think it is going to be really interesting.] Wang Ling stopped thinking about it and then returned to cultivating.

But this time, he cultivated his eyes and it took him three hours to create make the second halo in his iris to assimilate with the first crimson halo that entered his pupils before. The entire process of it was arduous and painful, but Wang Ling got though it and went ahead to form the third crimson halo. It was also painful than the last that it made him cry tears of black blood. But he managed to do it and now, he can already see the flow of qi much clearer than before and if he truly focus, everything seemed to be moving in slow motion.

Three days after this incident, Bai Xue who had been staying quiet abruptly made a move and run outside while in haste. She run away as far as possible and from afar I witnessed her tribulation. Strike at her twenty times. It was much more powerful than what Wang Ling had faced.

He hurried over to her side, and as Wang Ling neared the area where Bai Xue faced the tribulation, a fox's roar was heard that rock the entire first layer and made the spirit beasts tremble in fear.

And as Wang Ling found Bai Xue, her body had already changed. From a single-tailed fox, she now had three and in the middle of her forehead was purple gem the shame of a diamond.
