Poison God's Heritage

His entire body was rattled with lightning burns. Not only that, even the tattoo on his palm was not complete. He had managed to understand that he needed to lower his Qi output without any hint and under the constant bombardment of lightning.

Which was frankly surprising. If someone were to find themselves in their place, assaulted by lightning they would usually use a treasure or their own Qi to protect themselves, meaning that they'll release even more Qi causing more destabilization in the atmosphere. But he somehow realized that and dropped his guard, taking in the lightning bolts with his bare body and subdued his own Qi to not die.

Tenacious bastard…

But, if he wasn't at least capable of this much, he wouldn't be Meng Hao's ultimate goal and life enemy.

The Darkest Sun was gazing at the screen with a rather annoyed look on his face.

"HAH!"

A loud hearty laugh echoed through the arena. It was the Dusking Sun who seemed too amused by what was going on.

"Your chosen has rotten luck, Darkest One."

"Keep your comments to yourself," the Darkest Sun said. He was clearly not happy with the fact that the Fire King had no hope of winning the tournament anymore, especially when the ship of Shen Bao stopped right in front of him.

With wounds that large, he would be unable to escape death unless he used one of the lifesaving treasures that the Darkest Sun had handed him.

But against all odds, the Fire King's mortal enemy didn't attack but offered the Fire King to ride with them.

This caused worry to appear in the eyes of the Red Sun who was all about killing one's enemies. However, when he heard Shen Bao mentioning that someone else with far more hatred toward the Fire King was waiting for the opportunity to defeat the Fire King, he couldn't argue and sighed.

The Darkest Sun pulled up something from his holding bag and threw it toward the Lord of Lords.

"What is this for," the Lord of Lords asked.

"That child showed mercy when he could have ignored him, so give it to him when the time comes," the Darkest Sun said.

The Lord of Lords smiled and said, "I'll see to that then."

From the other side of the arena, the Blue Sun sighed.

"This child…" The Blue Sun muttered as she saw the ship moving through the area with ease.

"You want him even more don't you," the Red Sun laughed.

The Blue Sun refrained from replying as she was already read like an open book.

"So, tell me, Ancient Blue, what did you find in that place, to cause you this much worry?" the Wisest Sun asked.

"I have yet to confirm it, but it I have a strong belief that the entire thunder domain is actually not a part of our Beyond." She said.

These words were only shared between the Suns.

But non of them refuted her words.

"I see," the Wisest Sun said, "I have gone there myself a couple of times, but didn't dare push too hard, as my Qi is far stronger than what that domain can tolerate and feared that it might blow up entirely, I suppose the rest of us here all had the same experience."

The rest of the Suns nodded in agreement, after all, they lived for tens of thousands of years, and had explored a lot of the parts of the Beyond.

"So, the reason you adamantly pushed for the last part of this trial to be in this area, is because you want someone that is below a certain rank to go there and explore it further?" the Wisest Sun said.

"Yes, my current power is far too much for the Thunder Domain to support it. I had created several incarnations of myself through the Beyond, grew them and guided them toward the Thunder Domain, but many of them fell and died through their cultivation journey, and the few that lived couldn't make it past the fourth zone.

Only one of my incarnations was able to reach the deeper part of the fourth Zone, and there… it found a door."

"Quite the commitment to your goal Ancient Blue," the Wisest Sun said.

"But… I couldn't go past the door with my incarnation. The handkerchief I want to retrieve has written notes about the door that my incarnation had written. But I couldn't recuperate it due to the atmosphere…"

"Quite annoying that you used the entire event to retrieve a piece of cloth with some notes. But still, now I'm interested in what's beyond this door you're talking about," the Lord of Lords said.

"I'm willing to share anything that comes out from beyond that door," she said.

The wisest sun smiled, "To share what is beyond that door requires you to obtain it first. I'm sure that you're not going to vie for what the children could discover there," The wisest Sun hid a threat in his words.

The Blue Sun shook her head, "That won't be possible. From my incarnation's last breath, the door requires the power of someone at least at the Heaven realm to open. And if any of those children were to use more Qi than an ascendant can host, they would die to the storm."

"So the reason you want the notes is for you to come up with a way that allows you access to that door. I see, but, there is one thing you didn't account for when you were planning all of this," the wisest Suns smiled.

"What is it?" the Blue Sun asked.

"The fact that Shen Bao is there, I have a feeling that he will be able to open that door," a smile crept up on the Wisest Sun's face. "Then when he does that, you better not think of taking things from a junior, am I right?"

The Blue sun couldn't refute and only stared at the screen. Turmoil is clear in her eyes.
