Chapter 654: What More Do You Want from Me?
Heavenly Tribulation, although far inferior to the power of Guiding Light, stirred a feeling in Tang Rao's heart that Heavenly Tribulation and Guiding Light, perhaps even the Endless Starry Sea, must be of the same origin.
Why say this? Because in the Land of Immortals, there is also Heavenly Tribulation.
Though Heavenly Tribulation is born of the Heavenly Dao and Guiding Light emerges from the Endless Starry Sea, if the Heavenly Dao can coexist with the Endless Starry Sea in the Land of Immortals, it indicates that the two do not conflict.
The only explanation is: Heavenly Tribulation and Guiding Light do not conflict; it's just that the level of Heavenly Tribulation is lower than that of Guiding Light.
Intense thunder soon followed.
The sky-full of lightning crazily surged into the body of the Ten-winged Demon Dragon.
The marks Tang Rao inscribed onto the Ten-winged Demon Dragon weren't really an Array; they merely attracted the power of Heavenly Tribulation.
The Ten-winged Demon Dragon might not feel it, but he could see, alright.
"F*ck, Tang Rao, what the hell did you do to me, why has my body gotten so freaking huge, don't you dare tell me I'm pregnant."
We beings from beyond Heaven never get pregnant.
We don't even have genders.
"Tang Rao, am I going to die?" Even though Tang Rao controlled the Ten-winged Demon Dragon, it could still speak. After all, its head was still useful and hadn't been destroyed by the Guiding Light.
"Don't worry, you won't die," Tang Rao confidently stated.
"No, just let me die, I'm begging you! What the heck are you trying to do to me? I have my dignity, how am I supposed to lead my underlings after this!" the Ten-winged Demon Dragon cried out.
Tang Rao: "..."
Damnit, no wonder you and the Bloodthirsty Demon are cut from the same cloth, you both really are nutcases.
"I promised the Bloodthirsty Demon that I wouldn't kill you," Tang Rao said.
"Bullshit~~, didn't you just say a moment ago that you promised Bloodthirsty Demon you were going to kill me?" The Ten-winged Demon Dragon thought Tang Rao was spouting nonsense, saying one moment that he's going to kill, the next that he's not; what more do you want from me? Seriously, what do you want?
"No choice, Bloodthirsty Demon went soft. He said he's your big bro and couldn't bear to let you die," Tang Rao said.
Ten-winged Demon Dragon: "..."
"Alright, quit your whining and don't bother me. If you mess me up and I fail, then you're definitely dead," said Tang Rao, and he began to harness the power of Heavenly Tribulation.
Just as he thought, the Thunder Tribulation Power was not attacked by the Guiding Light, and the two melded together within the Ten-winged Demon Dragon's body.
Of course, since the power level of Thunder Tribulation Power was lower, it was basically assimilated upon contact with the Guiding Light.
Half an hour later, Tang Rao had no idea how much Thunder Tribulation Power he had infused into the Ten-winged Demon Dragon.
Now, what he was doing was using the Thunder Tribulation Power to gradually convert the Guiding Light into something he could control.
Though he didn't know if it would work, he still had to give it a try.
What if it actually worked?
"Xiao Hei, my savior, is it still not working?" Li Shengxuan asked.
"The process is very slow; my strength is insufficient. And the difference in level between Thunder Tribulation Power and Guiding Light is too great, so the neutralization is very sluggish. Moreover, I don't even know if all this will work, I'm playing it by ear," Tang Rao said as he continued to absorb the power from the Immortal Crystal in his chest to replenish the energy draining from his body.
Li Shengxuan did not speak again, just quietly stood by and waited.
Three days later.
"F*ck me..." Tang Rao was feeling somewhat desperate by now; the neutralization had not been successful, and he was almost at his limit.
It wasn't that the power he owned wasn't enough to invoke Heavenly Tribulation, the power provided by the Immortal Crystal was virtually endless.
This was an Immortal Crystal formed by a nine-fold Immortal Monarch; even if the power needed for his own Cultivation was several times the norm, it should have been enough for him to attain the first level of the Immortal Monarch Realm.
But it was precisely the power of the Immortal Crystal that almost overwhelmed Tang Rao.
Once the suppression was lost, he would immediately become a Human Immortal.
Upon reaching Human Immortal, one must enter the Land of Immortals within half a month; otherwise, they would suffer the onslaught of the endless starry sea.
They would be reduced to dust in an instant.
However, he wasn't fully prepared yet.
"What's wrong? Did you fail?" Li Shengxuan asked.
"I'm about to enter the Realm of Human Immortal." Tang Rao said with a gloomy face, looking quite displeased, "And at this rate, it may not even be enough to neutralize the Guiding Light in fifteen days."
Li Shengxuan fell silent; the Guiding Light was indeed troublesome.
"Forget it, let's give up," Tang Rao shook his head. Despite his reluctance, there was nothing he could do. The Immortal Power inside his body could no longer be suppressed, and he must make all the necessary arrangements during this time.
As for the Guiding Light, it seemed that it was not meant for him.
"Not necessarily, let me do it!" Li Shengxuan exhaled slowly; without saying much to Tang Rao, she blasted a palm onto the head of the Ten-winged Demon Dragon.
Tang Rao was directly shaken away.
"Shengxuan, don't be reckless!" Tang Rao seemed to realize something and immediately cried out.
But Li Shengxuan did not respond, and burst of crazed power erupted from her body.
The body of the Ten-winged Demon Dragon was completely enveloped by this force, shining bright white.
Li Shengxuan's aura rapidly weakened, and all her powers began to intertwine and coalesce.
"Shengxuan, stop!" Tang Rao now knew what Li Shengxuan was doing.
She was stripping away her own power; to be precise, she was condensing an Immortal Crystal.
This would cause all of Li Shengxuan's power to dissipate, turning her into an ordinary person in the end.
"Benefactor Xiao Hei, I cannot traverse the endless starry sea at the Realm of Immortal Monarch. Instead of wasting it when the time comes, I might as well use these powers to do something useful now. As for seeking retribution, I believe in you," said Li Shengxuan with a smile.
At that moment, Tang Rao's heart clenched tightly.
Li Shengxuan, a Ninth Heavenly Immortal Monarch, a woman willing to go to such lengths for him; Tang Rao hardly knew what good fortune from past lives had brought him this blessing.
But Tang Rao did not stop her, knowing that he could not anyway.
He could only silently remember Li Shengxuan's kindness, secretly telling himself: not to fail Shengxuan, to do everything he possibly could for her.
Even if it meant contending against the entire Land of Immortals for her, Tang Rao would do so without hesitation.
The whole process lasted a day and a night, and Li Shengxuan's aura was extremely weak. As for the Ten-winged Demon Dragon, its body was no longer visible, leaving only a gigantic head.
The body of the Ten-winged Demon Dragon had been completely refined by Li Shengxuan's power, wrapped around the Guiding Light, and turned into a lustrous crystal.
It resembled the Immortal Crystal in Tang Rao's chest, but also not exactly the same; inside the crystal, there flowed a dazzling white light.
It was evident that the white light was the Guiding Light.
Due to Li Shengxuan's immense power, the Guiding Light was subdued and sealed, integrating into this Immortal Crystal.
Without a doubt, this Immortal Crystal was one of a kind.
"Bang!" A muffled sound came, and Li Shengxuan flew backward, while the Immortal Crystal floated quietly in place.
Of course, the large head of the Ten-winged Demon Dragon floated along with it.
The Ten-winged Demon Dragon wanted to cry without tears; oh, my body that was hundreds of meters long is gone, and in the end, only a head remains.
