MTL NOVEL Chapter 28
Chapter 28: I Shall Ignite the Sea!
Zhou Tong unleashed his divine power to the limit, pushing the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill to its peak, shattering a barrier.
In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, thunder roared, and a heavy pressure descended like a mountain, leaving the people on the altar in shock.
“Steady yourselves, you will be fine. All consequences will be mine to bear.”
The young man’s face bore a look of resolute determination, and a reassuring confidence.
In his previous life, as he met his end, he had created an array capable of communicating with the Laws of the Great Dao, and today it was perfectly applicable.
“H隆!”
Thunder raged and descended, a massive lightning calamity aiming to destroy everything below.
Zhou Tong defied heaven, ready to accept his punishment.
“Come on then, let’s see what you’ve got! Grandpa will flatten every one of you!”
The altar emitted a radiant glow, enveloping him protectively.
Zhou Tong leaped into the air amidst gasps of astonishment, diving directly into the sea of lightning.
Hatred surged within him, memories of his previous life when he was relentlessly targeted by the Heavenly Dao, ultimately leading to his gruesome death.
Now he was determined to break these limits, to unravel the origins and question why fate had beset him with calamities.
With this resolve, he fought even more fiercely, sweeping the Union Lock to shred one bolt of lightning after another.
Suddenly, a streak of light pierced towards him, striking his body.
Zhou Tong froze, the lightning silenced. A luminous path appeared beneath his feet, extending into the distance.
He saw the aftermath of his previous death. Emperor Tang Qi, unsatisfied with his achievements, had allied with the Heavenly Demons from another realm, intending a blood sacrifice for the entire continent, striving for immortality!
Countless prodigies shed their blood, countless heroes turned into bones, all resisting him to the death.
Rivers of blood flowed, spirits filled the heavens and earth, but no matter how many fell, more stood up, refusing to let him succeed.
It was a blood-soaked tapestry, vast and continuous, brimming with sorrow.
At the end of the tapestry, Zhou Tong saw people praying before his statue, calling for his returning spirit!
“I understand, I understand everything!”
Zhou Tong wept profusely; his rebirth had been due to their faith breaking through time and space, safeguarding his soul.
The scene shifted, countless people appearing in front of Zhou Tong.
His heart ached. He identified these individuals as the warriors who had died at the hands of Tang Qi, taken down in the prime of their lives.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I could’ve stopped all of this, but I fell into decay… allowing you all to suffer!”
As his words faded, he felt warmth around him.
The people began to glow, gazing at him gently, giving him boundless strength without words.
“I swear…to atone for my sins, and to let your spirits rest, I will make Tang Qi answer for his crimes with death!”
“HOOOMMM!!”
Without hesitation, Zhou Tong punched through the streak of light, snatching the mark above him with a stretch of his hand.
This was the Celestial Heart Law, carrying the operations of all things, forbidden to the ordinary person. But with so many blessings, Zhou Tong could touch it without taboo.
“You damn destiny… bring on the gales for grandpa!”
…
In the sky over Enforcement City, countless people gazed towards where Zhou Tong was, hearing only the sound of swallowing saliva.
In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed; the rosy clouds reflected the light of the sunset, heralding the arrival of dusk.
“That’s what I thought, he was only putting on a show, we’ve all been played for fools.”
Tang Qi sighed with relief, his face one of petty smugness.
The crowd immediately grew noisy, with many showing clear signs of displeasure.
Included among them were many renowned figures of great repute, humiliated by Zhou Tong’s antics. Their anger was undoubtedly immense.
“What will happen now? I hope nothing goes wrong!”
Chen Ling’er’s palm was drenched in cold sweat as she prayed silently in her heart.
Long Lingyun and the Little Demoness were also extremely tense, unconsciously drawing closer to Shangguan Wugou.
Should Zhou Tong fail and Shangguan Wuhui turn against them, they were ready to abduct Shangguan Wugou to force calm from him.
Farther away, a figure in white robes swayed like a celestial fairy, aloof and independent.
“Disciple! This is what you get for playing with fire, now you’ve been backfired, soon you’ll realize that in this world, only by my side can you truly be safe!”
Mo Liushu’s lips turned upward, her typically serene eyes revealing a hint of genuine pleasure.
At that moment, the heavens and earth changed abruptly.
“Whoosh! Whoosh…”
Fierce winds came rapidly, like primordial beasts emitting bone-chilling howls.
In an instant, powerful winds swept down, shattering rocks and breaking massive trees, the sound of tearing fabric resonating sharply in the air.
But those in the heavens were already frozen, and those on the ground stood up fearlessly, bursting forward like madmen.
“Wind! Wind!”
“Wind, Big Wind! Windy Wind!”
People shouted with uncontainable joy, their cries as wild as a child.
When they noticed a hint of emerald green in the wind, every face twisted from shouting.
“The winds have risen, it’s truly the wind of life! Hahahah…”
Shangguan Wuhui was overjoyed. The usually composed sect master was trembling like a sickly cat, on the verge of passing out.
“My daughter will be saved!”
He bellowed, scooping up Shangguan Wugou and rushing towards the direction of the wind. The Little Demoness and Long Lingyun followed closely behind.
Just approaching, Shangguan Wugou reacted, her body floating as she flew towards Zhou Tong.
Infinite strong winds surged into her body, and moments later, a cluster of an inky blue light was expelled — it was water poison, the most toxic element.
“H隆!”
The earth cracked open, fire from beneath the earth erupted, scorching the water poison, intent on burning and evaporating it.
But the water poison was fierce, instantly transforming into a vast sea suppressing the fire, and attempting to return to Shangguan Wugou’s body.
“Bad!”
Shangguan Wuhui’s face changed dramatically, preparing to intervene.
Just then, a heavy pressure descended from above, astonishing him.
Zhou Tong was entwined by the winds, looking like a god of wind, in command of everything here.
With a wave of his hand, emerald green winds condensed into a spear.
“I shall! Ignite the sea!”
The spear fell, merging with the fire from the earth. The fusion of wind and fire multiplied their power by a hundredfold.
“Whoosh!”
In a blaze of dazzling light, huge flames engulfed the sea of poison, purifying all impurities.
This fire was not of destruction, but of the Great Dao, it was the fire of life!
Everyone basking in this ocean of fire received a cleansing.
The Little Demoness, Long Lingyun, Shangguan Wuhui, Shangguan Wugou, and all the disciples from the Supreme Clarity Sect on the altar received enormous benefits, their cultivation rapidly skyrocketing.
When one attains enlightenment, the whole world ascends with them!
