Chapter 855: Immortal Sovereign. (1)
Shi Lang consoled Shi Tao for a few minutes before he turned to look at the tree that grass plain that has grown on the hill as he said, "I am going ahead, I will come back when I have taken the head of those beasts."
He made his declaration and suddenly the clouds turned dark and began to thunder. Shi Tao was confused but suddenly the concentrated spiritual energy told her that the clouds were tribulation clouds.
Shi Lang said, "Tao, I am going to settle the demons."
Shi Tao nodded subconsciously and Shi Lang vanished. The next moment, Hou Bing followed his trail while Allure let out a breath, and panted. The people were confused, Hao Mei approached her and asked, "Elder, are you alright?"
Allure nodded as she patted Hao Mei's head and said, "Tell Tian Long and the rest that your master is charging at the demon region and he is bringing a Heavenly tribulation in tow. They should get away from him and the battle front."
Hao Mei nodded and rushed away quickly. Shi Tao asked, "What do you mean that Baba has become an Immortal Sovereign?"
Allure nodded and replied, "He became a Sovereign."
Shi Tao shook her head and asked, "But he did not even circulate his spiritual energy so how could he have comprehended anything? Also, you asked if he has refined his blood, right? What is going on?"
Allure took a deep breath and said, "He asked me once about the method of the Legendary beasts. I told him that we need to refine our blood with Dao Laws. Each drop of blood that is courses through our veins is to be engraved with the Dao Laws. This gives us physical strength like none other and when we have completed refining the hundred percent amount of blood.
We face the Tribulation to rise to the Immortal Sovereign."
Shi Tao nodded, and wanted to say something when Allure continued, "That is the case for the spiritual beasts, but Shi Lang is a human, he would need to go through two different tribulations. When his spiritual cultivation rises he would need it."
Shi Tao was stunned and said, "Shit!"
They wouldn't have been worried about Shi Lang if it was normal time. However, the moment he woke up, Shi Tao sensed that something about him was different. Other than that, his body was stuck in one stance for an year. Despite all this she could not do anything apart from praying for his well being.
...
Shi Lang did not care about anything else and just moved through the void at a breakneck speed. His body was devouring the spiritual energy around him at a blinding speed. Hou Bing was keeping up with him and she asked, "Are you okay?"
The Terran nodded and said, "My heart is just calm. I culled all the emotional fluctuations. This world has lost some of its vibrance in my gaze."
Hou Bing shook her head but she did not say anything. It was not going to work, so why must a holy beast poke his tender wounds? Shi Lang did not speak and just flew ahead of the lightning tribulation clouds. His speed was faster than ever, he was using the Dao Law of lightning that boosted his speed.
While he was flying, Hou Bing asked, "Do you intend to use the first tribulation to attract a second one?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "That is the only way I will gain the perfect sovereign ground."
Hou Bing replied calmly, "You will need to merge the two grounds, and for that you will need become a sage."

Shi Lang replied indifferently, "The crown and the throne holds no use to me anymore. They are just condensed from the Dao Laws, and every sovereign must look past the vanity to gain the semblance of a sovereign."
It took him a couple of hours to reach the front line. Yes, he has been flying at the speed comparable to an Immortal Sovereign. There were people in the spiritual cultivator side and they were surprised to see Shi Lang arriving so soon.
The Terran landed on the ground and the clouds thundered above him. The heavenly tribulation was a sentinel being, and once it found Shi Lang to be avoiding it, running from the fate, it was enraged. The lightning condensed inside the clouds. Everyone could see that it was as thick as a human thigh, yet, Shi Lang stood on the ground with his gaze locked onto the clouds.
The demonic soldiers were charging to attack him but when the bolt of lightning descended, Shi Lang stood showering under the red glow, he absorbed as much energy as he could and then directed the surplus of it to the demonic soldiers.
Their gathering saved him the trouble to look for them. He would not have to go after them, he would earn merit and he would also advance his cultivation. The reason he was so eager to do these two things was because in his heart, he knew that the only way for him to heal his wounded heart was to find the killers and destroy them.
The hatred in his heart has chilled his emotions. The moment he made his peace with Amelia's absence, that was the moment he sentenced the Juan family to death. The entire family would have to pay the price of harming the one he loved.
While he killed the demonic soldiers and his body bore the burn of the heavenly lightning, he could not help but remember the last moments and words Amelia spent with him. However, despite going down the memory lane his heart was calm. He had gotten used to this, and he looked at the sky as he said, "The pain you bring is nothing compared to what I hold in my chest. Weakling!"
The clouds thundered loudly, even the Immortal Emperors in the distance could not help but flinch at this reply from the heavens. Sure enough, the lightning thickened and the damage increased.
Shi Lang's skin was broken and he was bleeding from some cracks. Yet, he did not even pursued his lips. To him, no amount of physical pain could make him frown anymore. The lightning streaks fell one after the other, one stronger than the other.
Shi Lang was absorbing the spiritual energy in his Dantian compressing it to make space for more energy. When the tribulation came to an end, Shi Lang threw around a large number of spirit stones. He said, "Hou Bing, Raksha, if anyone comes close, slay them and destroy their souls."
Then he made a few seals with his hands and a huge barrier appeared around him. He sat crossed legs in the void and a cape and a crown appeared over his head and back. The immortal cultivators watching all this from the distance and were shocked.
One of the experts exclaimed, "Wasn't that his tribulation to ascend to the realm of a Sovereign? What is going on here?"
The next moment, Tian Long appeared ahead of the crowd with Fairy Moon Jade, and the rest of the Martial Council top brass. They could not understand what was going on, when they saw Shi Lang disperse the cape and crown on his head into small specks of light that flew around him in a circle.
It was as if a vortex of light was going around Shi Lang, and the man was the center of it all. The particles gradually moved faster and they gathered together to cast a ring around Shi Lang.
Tian Long said, "He is charging at the Immortal Sovereign realm."
The rest of the people nodded, and suddenly a general said, "My lord, the demon side has demon sovereigns gathering in the void."
Tian Long frowned and said, "Do they think we are wind? I have yet to settle the score with these old undying bastards, yet they dare to show up here? Everyone, avoid the formation, just charge at the old and young. None of the demonic bastards shall be left alive!"
Zither Soul did not even wait for anyone. She flickered and appeared in the position where she had placed herself right outside the array around Shi Lang and she sat down with her Zither.
Tian Long took out a black and red sword as he vanished from his position as well. Lao Xu, Amethyst, Old Man Yanshu, all of them joined the battle and the world descended in chaos. Suddenly Fairy Moon Jade said, "The clouds have yet to go away, do not make haste. None of you are to direct any intention towards the formation or the sky.
You will have to face the lightning streaks of a crimson grade tribulation. Don't tell me that you cannot see that this tribulation is different from the other."
Hou Bing said, "This is indeed not a simple tribulation but the double tribulation. Shi Lang is aiming to get a perfect sovereign. How can it be normal?"
The sovereigns opened their eyes wide because this realm was nothing but a mythological tale.
