Boom!

A sudden quake came from deep within his deific consciousness!

Yun Yang felt like a planet had exploded in the confines of his own head.

The swift event was unforeseen and utterly unanticipated.

Not only did the violent quake cause Yun Yang’s seven orifices to bleed, tiny shards of blood shot out from all his pores. There seemed to be hundreds of thousands of stars that were spinning and blinking before his eyes.

Yun Yang dropped onto the floor with a thud, the fall making him lose his bearings.

He was, however, not anxious about losing so much blood; he was exceptionally levelheaded instead. Perhaps even more so than he initially was.

The power of his deific consciousness seemed to have left the Tianxuan Continent, soaring higher and higher until he was overlooking the world.

It was like his deific consciousness was borderless and sweeping, far-reaching into the vast expanses of the world - like he had truly bound the entire world into his area of vision. Yun Yang could even felt himself ‘seeing’ the untamed waves splashing in the endless ocean; a giant fish was diving upwards along the seawater amidst the waves. Only half of its head was already the size of Residence of Yun’s courtyard!

There was also a giant bird in the sky above the ocean; it had rainbow colored feathers, soaring in the sky before it swooped down. The spread of the bird’s wings almost covered half of Tiantang City!

The giant fish leaped out of the water - it was then that Yun Yang realized half its head that came out earlier was a pointed head; the size of its body was unexpectedly gigantic, like a mountain, as it reached for the sky. As for the enormous bird, it catapulted downwards with a long cry.

Both the fish and bird collided harshly, waves spluttered as the world around roiled and rumbled!

Yun Yang’s deific consciousness caught a man’s silhouette that flashed past, diving between the fish and bird. The person seemed to have sensed something; with a turn of his head, a pair of deep eyes met Yun Yang’s deific consciousness.

Potent light shot out from his eyes immediately.

Yun Yang felt a sharp pain in his deific consciousness as he was flung back into his body. In spite of this, extreme terror lingered in him.

How could this be? My deific consciousness…

How could there be such a gigantic fish in this world? Such a giant bird?

If what I saw was real, what level would the fish and bird have to be to reach those proportions?

The person who appeared… Who was he? What level would he be?

"This world is interesting indeed. What I can see now is only a mere glimpse of a much bigger picture. No, perhaps not even a glimpse."

Yun Yang took in a deep breath. "When the Four Seasons Tower is uprooted, when my revenge is complete, I shall fulfill my brothers’ wishes and travel the continent. I shall leave my trail in this secular world and take the whole of Tianxuan into my eyes!"

Ending his thoughts and regaining his usual sense of being, he felt his body itch irritatingly.

What was going on?

Lowering his head, Yun Yang was once again stunned.

The violent explosion just now did not just happen within his subconscious mind, it existed in reality too, shredding his clothes.

Right now, he was lying naked on the bed while Big Whitey, Whitey Two, Whitey Three, Whitey Four, and Whitey Five were all licking each part of his body fervently with their tiny tongues.

From head to toe, from his chest to buttocks, they had not missed a single part of his physique. These little critters were licking incessantly…

Yun Yang recalled hastily that the shards of blood that had shot out from his pores during the inexplicable explosion. He was still wondering if he might die from the loss of blood, but now that he thought about it, it was probably a process of replacing old blood with new.

That said, his old blood still seemed to be of value. After all, he had consumed so much nourishment that his entire body was a gem!

No wonder these little creatures were so ardently licking away.

Watching them, his arms, stomach, shoulders, even his feet had been licked clean. When they approached his crotch…

"Holy…" Yun Yang grabbed Whitey Four from under his crotch, his expression bemused. "You don’t know your tongue has backward-facing barbs, do you? Anywhere else but here!"

Whitey Four looked at him innocently; with a mewl, its tongue licked around its mouth before it looked completely contented.

Big Whitey and Whitey Two were already sprawled on his head, beginning to lick his scalp…

"Remind me tp never bleed or be injured enough to faint in the forest in the future…" Yun Yang decided inwardly. "Otherwise, I might become a pile of refuse when I wake up…"

He had to be aware and avoid such a situation, the possibility of it happening was far too high!

Thankfully, these Whiteys were brought up by him and there was affection… Or else, they would have torn him apart by now.

Yun Yang broke out in a sweat before grabbing a large towel and wiping down his body.

Seeing that there were no more treats for them, Whitey Three, Whitey Four, and Whitey Five climbed off his body unwillingly and turned to lick the walls, bedsheet, and everything else in sight. After all, those spots had Yun Yang’s essence as well.

Yun Yang covered his eyes, allowing the two tiny ones atop his head to meticulously lick his scalp. Although it did not feel good, it was nourishment that should not be wasted if possible…

After some time, he delved into his deific consciousness again.

"Ayaya!"

Emmie’s cheer almost scared Yun Yang witless. As he glanced around, he jumped at what greeted his eyes.

The space in his deific consciousness was three times bigger than it initially was!

Emmie was still situated in the center, puffing a green air of vitality then incessantly absorbing spiritual Qi.

Emmie’s third leaf had grown from this event, completely so. It was dark green and thick, the lushness rich.

A sense of green spiraled in the air and slowly formed a few lines of words.

Once Yun Yang spotted them, the words turned into green smoke and scurried into Yun Yang’s mind. Clarity instantly filled his mind.

This was the third stage of a breakthrough of the Endless Divine Art.

"Nine-hundred and ninety-nine souls under the saber blade,

I shall be the guardian of good and evil in this state;

The blade is cold, cleansing the world in its peace,

The heaven shakes from the third lotus leaf."

"A breakthrough?"

Yun Yang tried moving according to the new route of his skillset, immersing himself in the different cultivation experience and feeling the energy course through his entire body.

The feeling and atmosphere excited him, but he was not overjoyed from it; there was only heavy-heartedness and grief!

"Brothers, I am finally able to have a little power to protect myself now."

A hungry glint like that of a wolf’s shone in Yun Yang’s eyes. "I’ll continue speeding up my cultivation improvement! Fifth brother, about sister-in-law… I’m very sorry. I have failed to protect her, I couldn't ensure her safety!"

"However, I shall seek revenge for her! To me, Sister Yue is no different from all of you…"

Thinking of Yun Zuiyue, grief filled Yun Yang.

This pitiful but honorable confidante whose beauty could cause the nation to swoon and had a heart made of the purest flowers; there were only a handful of days throughout her life that she had passed in comfort.

She had been trafficked since young and undergone so much torture; upon escaping with fifth brother and having a few stable years, the person who took care of her had died; even when reuniting with fifth brother, having her heart belonging to someone, her love had followed his fate and become one of the Nine Supremes!

It was the rotation of fate, the urging of destiny; it was also an indescribably huge honor. Yet at the back of such glory was the waning of their love. Not only could they not have a happily ever after, they had to go their separate ways, hardly ever meeting again.

Although Yun Zuiyue had never minded this and was willing to keep on waiting silently for the day her lover returned, it was with such anticipation that greeted the news of her love being betrayed and dying elsewhere a few years later.

Yun Yang’s appearance had temporarily put her out of the shadow of despair and kept her waiting in the illusion of hope but ultimately, she could not avoid her end; a beauty a tragic life.

Other than wandering in hardship and waiting devotedly, there was actually nothing else in this life of hers!

The saying since the beginning of times about beauties having a short life was so hard to break!

As Yun Yang’s thoughts carried him here, he recalled again Yun Zuiyue’s reminder before they parted that night, asking him to be careful and thanking him…

Thanking him?

Yun Yang though process froze.

"Wuyin!" Yun Yang called out.

Shui Wuyin shuffled over tiredly.

"How’s the result of the investigation?" Yun Yang asked the man directly.

"Surprisingly, it was not an explosion that crushed the Cirrus House completely. Perhaps the situation should still be categorized as an explosion but the source of it wasn’t explosives!" Shui Wuyin concluded frankly, "There wasn’t a tinge of the smell of explosives there, neither was there any trace of combustibles."

Yun Yang snorted. "Could it be that the opposite party’s tactic is unusual and has exceeded the areas of your knowledge?"

"Impossible. The amount of explosives needed to turn the entire Cirrus House into a flat plane is considerably high. Besides, to collapse a building with explosives is not achievable just by installing a volatile bomb in one spot; a very intricate set up is needed. Even if it’s successful, the traces of such a large amount of explosives will be left behind, difficult to erase. Cirrus House’s state was definitely not caused by a bomb explosion. Judging by the current state, it seems more like…"

Shui Wuyin said hesitantly, "An extremely strong cultivator striking from midair, landing a blow that caused such damage. Only when extremely powerful and undefendable mystical Qi comes into contact with the ground and causes a radioactive-like explosion could the whole building be totally destroyed. This will also explain how the deep pit in the ground which only affected Cirrus House came about."

Yun Yang immediately understood Shui Wuyin’s hesitance. It was already difficult to strike high from the sky and turn the Cirrus House into debris with a single punch but what was more difficult was the ability to avoid damage to any other structures around the Cirrus House.

Even Ling Xiaozui himself might not have achieved such a manipulation of force and power!

Yet, how was there such an expert in this world?
