Chapter 858: Heading Into The Future.
The people had to close their eyes, even if they were all the cultivators of Immortal Sovereign realm they could not tolerate the brilliance of the golden light erupting from where Shi Lang was supposed to be.
The Terran was shrouded in the halo of the golden lightning, his skin flaked away, and his blood was vaporized. His jade bones seemed to be soft and tender, Shi Lang could not help but let out a roar. He was unwilling to perish.
However, the golden lightning was unforgiving. It came at him with the intention of killing and eradicating the man as if he never existed in the first place. Shi Lang struggled, the only thing he could do now was to cycle the energy of the golden lightning and absorb it as much as he could.
The absorption promoted healing and replenished his blood quickly. The lightning dragon could sense it but although the Heavenly Tribulation was sentient, it could not perform any martial arts skill against Shi Lang.
The heavens were strong and brutal strength rendered everything useless. Shi Lang was probably the first in this realm who fought back instead of enduring.
After a few minutes when the blinding glow receded the people opened their eyes. They saw Shi Lang standing on the ground, his body was charged, and he did not seem to have any vitality left.
Everyone gasped, but at this moment, five shadows flickered from the crowd and surrounded Shi Lang. Shi Tao sensed this and wanted to move when Allure said, "They won't harm him."
These five people were in reality were the clones who gained sentient under Allure's guidance. However, their Dao Path was still connected to Shi Lang. Under the confused gazes of thousands of experts, the five clones melted into five drops of golden blood.
These years, they have been cultivating the method of blood refinement. They evolved from Shi Lang, and thus they only had to refine one drop and even that took them a long time. When Shi Lang had met one of his clones in the past, the clone was stronger than him but that was just momentary.
The clones could only grow stronger to a certain extent after which they would have to go back and assimilate with Shi Lang. The people were surprised to see what was going on, the five drops of golden blood moved through the void and entered Shi Lang's body.
The drops of blood converged inside Shi Lang's heart and began to heal it. Yes, the golden lightning dragon had almost killed him leaving a shred of his vitality and even a severely injured immortal soul.
However, as the five drops of blood began to heal Shi Lang the clouds thundered. Everyone thought that the lightning will descend on Shi Lang again, but that did not happen. Even if the heavens were strong they were still bound by the laws. The nine streaks have been survived and Shi Lang was now an Immortal Sovereign.
The clouds parted and the golden radiance descended from the gaps in the clouds. Shi Lang was bathed in the golden glow and his body began to heal. The process was slow but it was thorough.
...
Hou Bing let out a sigh and said, "I pray for the people who are going to cross his path from now on."
Allure nodded and the dragon man was surprised. He did not expect Hou Bing to have such high expectations from Shi Lang. He looked at the young man covered in golden halo and asked, "Your Excellency, is he really so great?"
Hou Bing chuckled and said, "Do you think if he was not great I would be here beside him?"

The dragon man realized that he has just asked a question that was self explanatory. Indeed, why would Hou Bing select anyone as a equal partner in a spiritual contact if he or she was not good?
The surrounding people did not hear them talking, but when they saw Shi Lang waking up, they calmed down.
...
Inside the golden cocoon, Shi Lang was akin to a new born baby. His body was recreated by the heavenly providence and he gradually woke up. After a few minutes, he landed on the ground. Yan Xue was the first person to appear beside him with a black and red robe. Shi Lang was completely exposed after the recreation.
The Terran looked at Yan Xue and said, "Thank you."
Yan Xue shook her head. She knew that Shi Lang has closed his heart the moment Amelia left the world of living. However, she did not wish to move on, for her, he was everything. Also, she was an emotional person, Shi Lang needed her beside him, so even if her feelings never reached bore fruit. She would be there beside Shi Lang.
Shi Lang put on the robe and looked at his spear that lay on the ground. He grabbed at the void and the spear flew back in his grip. The weapon trembled and an excited voice echoed in Shi Lang's mind, "Greetings Master."
The voice was akin to that of a child, but it was sure that the weapon has gained sentience. Shi Lang stroked the spear gently and said, "Good, golden lightning from the heavenly tribulation gave you life, so you should be called Tribulation Spear."
The spear trembled and issued a sharp sound, as the voice sounded in Shi Lang's mind, "Thank you, Master."
Shi Lang nodded and stowed away the spear in his space ring. Then he looked at the red and golden sword and asked, "Raksha, come over."
The sword transformed and the sword spirit appeared before everyone. The people instinctively avoided looking at the lady, the sharpness radiating from her was something none of them could match.
Raksha said, "How come you are never gentle with me?"
Shi Lang shook his head and ignored the frivolous spirit. Hou Bing flew over and landed on his shoulder. After a few minutes she said, "Your lightning had become very strong now."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "It has but it's still not enough."
Hou Bing sighed and said, "Chasing after revenge blindly is not a good thing, Lang. You need to take things easy."
The Terran nodded and said, "All I seem to have left is time, Hou Bing."
Yan Xue heard him and said, "Lang, time will make you strong to avenge sister Amelia, and it will also make the world realize that none of the cultivators here are weak."
Shi Lang nodded, he turned to look at everyone and clasped his fist toward them. He did not say anything but his gesture was a greeting to his peer, the fellow sovereigns. The people did not take him lightly. Only Shi Lang was the only person who could greet them as equals even though he has just stepped in the realm of Sovereign.
Yu Xeidi dashed out of the crowd and flung herself at Shi Lang. The Terran revealed a faint smile and caught her as he said, "Xiao Yu, are you happy that master came out of the tribulation safely."
Yu Xeidi smiled in his arms and said, "Fellow Daoist Master, congratulations. I will catch up with you soon."
Shi Lang could not help but chuckle, the three girls were the only source of family love in his life now. Although he had friends but for some reason he could not open his heart to them.
Hao Mei walked over gracefully with Shi Tao. The girl bowed and congratulated Shi Lang. The Terran patted her head gently and then looked at his daughter who seemed to have been through a battle.
The two nodded at each other and Hao Mei said, "Master, Xiao Yu wants a new sword."
Shi Lang looked at the girl in his arms and saw her sticking her tongue out at Hao Mei. He smiled and said, "When we get home, I will get you both a new sword. Also, Xiao Mei will get a new cauldron. Happy?"
The two girls winked at each other and smiled. Allure walked over and said, "Your tribulation attracted guests from the Titan Mountain."
Shi Lang was wearing a deadpan look. Then he looked at the man and asked Allure, "Who is he? I sense Dragon's breath on him."
The man heard this and chuckled as he said, "Young friend, you are indeed a talent. I am Long Jintian. The leader of the dragon clan in the Titan mountains."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I am Shi Lang."
Long Jintian frowned for a second and then he calmed down. The holy phoenix was standing on the shoulder of this young man and not his head. He said, "Congratulations on your advancement."
Shi Lang thanked him and after a few pleasantries, he said, "Hou Bing, lets head back home."
Hou Bing nodded and Shi Lang said, "Tian Long, come along."
The heavenly dragon sovereign nodded and followed him with Fairy Moon Jade. Allure waved her hand to open the void tunnel and Shi Lang said, "Seniors from the Martial Council, I wonder if you are interested in discussing about the future of this place."
Lao Xu and the rest were alerted and they also nodded after a few moments. They did want to transform this place into a strong force so that they could break out of here.
Shi Lang said, "Come along then."
