Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Jade Emperor

Chapter 102 - Power of Destruction

"H-how? Y-you shouldn't be able to t-touch us?"

A raspy voice entered Huang Yu's ears just as he was walking away from the shore.

Behind him, the figures of the seven so-called 'Old Demons' were lying on the ground, their bodies heavily injured.

Turning back to look at them, Huang Yu donned a bright smile on his face.

"I'm just awesome that way."

Those words really made the group of seven want to spit out gallons of blood.

Unfortunately, with the current state they were in, they didn't really have any blood to vomit out of their body.

Turning back, Huang Yu walked away, raising a hand in goodbye.

"Hasta La Vista baby."

The Old Demons of Demon Island were really feeling more and more hatred towards this kid in front of them.

"So this is what Gu Yue was talking about…"

As Huang Yu approached the fragment of destruction laying in the middle of the Demon Island, he felt a strong wave of destructive aura wash towards him.

His eyes narrowed as his expression turned grim.

The destruction aura here was of far higher quality than what he could control, and if he didn't defend, he would end up with his body completely annihilated.

One should know that Huang Yu's Sage's Body at this current stage had already reached an extremely high level.

Even without any spiritual power, his body was already superior to ordinary hundred-thousand year old beasts.

Something like this was unprecedented throughout the history of Douluo.

No matter how strong a human's body could become, they shouldn't be able to reach the level of spirit beasts!

This was the terrifying advantage that the Sage's Body brought Huang Yu, and it would only get worse as time went on.

That meant only one thing.

It was a level of destruction energy on par with that of Gods.

A strand of teal burst through the void as it merged into Huang Yu's clothes.

His clothes were swiftly transformed into the Robes of the Sage just as the aura of destruction collided into his body.

A loud boom resounded as Huang Yu stood there unphased.

His Robes of the Sage had resisted the destruction energy rather violently and it caused an explosion.

Nonetheless, he wasn't hurt, and that was all that mattered.

As Huang Yu continuously walked forward, he felt the destructive energy get stronger and stronger as he approached the core of the island.

After quite a while of walking, Huang Yu finally arrived at the core.

Extending his divine senses into the fragment to probe, Huang Yu found it completely annihilated.

Huang Yu was forced to take a step back, a trail of blood running down his nose as he did so.

Tsking, Huang Yu stopped there briefly as he stared at the fragment of destruction with a grim expression.

Frightening.

That was the only word that Huang Yu could find to describe it.

The sheer quantity and quality of the destruction energy was somehow even greater than that of what he was already facing.

In fact, it wasn't even in the same ballpark.

If you were to visualise it, the destruction energy in the atmosphere could be akin to a small puddle.

On the other hand, what was inside that fragment, it wasn't just like a sea…

At this moment, Huang Yu was hesitating on whether he should enter the fragment and try to absorb it like Gu Yue had said.

She had told him that with the element of life inside him, it should be rather safe, but Huang Yu wasn't so sure about that.

Not only that, Huang Yu wasn't even sure whether he could enter the fragment of destruction.

Sure he had the Robe of the Sage.

However, the Robe of the Sage seemed to be reliant on his own strength to function.

With his current level, the Robe of the Sage could only provide him with the bȧrė minimum of protection.

It was an Ultra Divine Tool for Gods after all.

With his current cultivation of only Rank 50, it was already a miracle that he could even call upon it, no doubt thanks to his cultivation manual.

Nonetheless, that bȧrė minimum was more than enough for Huang Yu to run rampant around the world.

One may ask why couldn't he just absorb the destruction energy in the surroundings? And his answer to that would be simple.

It was just too little,

Even if Huang Yu absorbed the destruction energy here for the next one thousand years, it wouldn't even be equal to absorbing from the fragment for half a second.

It was only after a while of pondering did Huang Yu finally let out a sigh.

He scratched the back of his head as he took a step forward.

"Those who were successful always took some level of risk I guess…"

When Huang Yu was directly in front of the fragment of destruction, he couldn't help but involuntarily hold his breath.

He raised a finger covered in a white glove, as tested out the waters.

A loud zap forced Huang Yu to instantly retract his finger.

Huang Yu let out a sigh as the glove quickly repaired itself.

"This is gonna hurt like hell."

And it absolutely did.

The moment a strand of purple was allowed by Huang Yu to enter through his fingertips, it instantly turned purplish-black as a sharp pain shot up his entire arm.

His eyes widened as he gasped out in shock.

Sweat pouring down his brow, Huang Yu didn't waste any time in jabbing a finger at this heart area.

No Pain

Signals of pain were immediately stopped from reaching Huang Yu's brain the moment this ability was used.

Letting out a deep breath, Huang Yu looked at the purple-blackish colour quickly spreading through his finger with a grim expression.

Dropping into a lotus stance, he hurriedly did what Gu Yue had instructed him to do previously,

Using precious vital energy, he wrapped it all around the power of destruction, neutralising its effects for the time being.

Despite this, Huang Yu's work wasn't done.

This neutralisation was only temporary.

Although Huang Yu could command incredibly pure life energy, this destruction energy was suspected to have come from a God King.

Hence, he had to do his next actions as swiftly as possible before he ran out of stamina.

Using his own life energy to guide the power of destruction, he brought it to his bone marrow.

One may ask, why the bone marrow, and the answer would be simple.

His blood essence was all produced from there, and hence, it was the source of his bloodline.

Gu Yue's plot was to attempt to stimulate the awakening of his bloodline through the use of destruction energy of such quality.

Of course, there was definitely a chance that Huang Yu's actions were pointless and he didn't have any bloodline related to destruction, but his intuition told him that Gu Yue was definitely on to something.

With his mental powers at the Divine Origin realm now, Huang Yu could begin to see through the secrets of heaven and earth.

It may not be complete fortune telling, but it was useful nonetheless.

As a hint of the power of destruction entered his bone marrow, Huang Yu felt a strange feeling appear in his body.

It wasn't pain. He wasn't capable of feeling it at this moment.

No, it was something more… positive in nature.

Something like a sense of excitement?

Huang Yu wasn't particularly sure, and he didn't really have the additional bits of attention to try and properly translate it.

At the very least, it should mean that he was going on the right path right?

More and more destruction energy slowly entered his bone marrow as Huang Yu felt his bloodline begin to boil with excitement.

Nonetheless, Huang Yu kept his cool.

If he made a mistake at this crucial moment, the only thing awaiting him would be death.

No amount of vital energy, healing factor, or King's Wisdom could protect him if the power of destruction were to wreak havoc in the core of his body.

Two weeks soon passed as Huang Yu sat there on the ground unmoving.

On his face, was an expression of complete tranquility, as if such a horrifying power wasn't in the depths of his body at that moment.

No Pain had run out a long time ago.

Despite this, there wasn't even the slightest change of expression on his face.

The only change that happened in this area was that along with the power of destruction, there were also strands of the power of life.

If anyone were to see this at the moment, they would be terribly shocked.

Neither element was attempting to restrain one another despite their opposing attributes.

Instead, they seemed to be interlocked in a pattern of yin and yang.

In the centre of this, was Huang Yu who was oblivious to what was going on outside.

Huang Yu was trapped in the depths of his mindscape at this very moment.

He had cut off all connection to the outside world, not wanting to be distracted in the slightest when it came to his current set of actions.

The ȧssimilation of the energy of destruction was going rather smoothly, and Huang Yu himself was rather surprised that he could go on this long without getting exhausted.

Just as Huang Yu was about to relax a bit more, a thousand explosions suddenly rang through his head.

He was instantly snapped out of the trance he was in as his bloodshot eyes burst open.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, veins of purple instantly appeared throughout Huang Yu's body.

An inhumane amount of pain shot throughout his entire body, leaving him on the ground in a puddle of sweat.

Huang Yu tried to get off No Pain, but to his dismay, his commands to his own body were cut off at this moment.

The purple veins quickly became thicker and thicker as a roar of pain very nearly erupted from his throat.

Soon, Huang Yu's entire body was covered in purple as the power of destruction went through every part of his body.

The only thought that could go through Huang Yu's head was,

"Fuck me…"
