Chapter 80 - So This Is What It Means To Go Against The Heavens

Devon stared at the two elderly men as if they were clowns, "Hahahahaha.... Fools!"

To Devon, why would he let such goods go away just like that? He was sure that if he absorbs the life energy of these two men, he would be able to increase his power level.

Even if it was just a level, it still was an increase in his overall strength.

Devon couldn't help but be surprised, a whole bronze rank sect, both elders and disciples life energy was only sufficient enough to increase his level by one level.

Terrifying isn't it........

To be honest, he was worried at how large his appetite was. It had to be known that these were individuals who had practiced several techniques, absorbed celestial energy, and bathed in different medicinal liquids.

And yet, a whole set full of such people was only capable of increasing his power level to a single level.

At some point wouldn't he have to go after those Diamond and platinum rank forces to prove his overall strength.

Sooner or later, this was going to happen, as it was the only way presently for him to go stronger.

"We need to leave quickly, brother." The sect master spoke in a trembling voice. He could tell that this person didn't intend to spare them since the beginning.

Now that things had come to this, he and his brother had to flee with all the strength they had left.

The instant the sect master and the supreme elder turned their body, something shocking happened that made their body stiff, and they couldn't even take another step forward. It was like both men were immobilized.

Words couldn't explain the trauma the sect master and supreme elder were going through at this point. As experts who had lived a good life and had attained a high realm in their cultivation realm, clearly they didn't want to leave this world.

At least not anytime from now.

Devon had already appeared in front of them, both of his hands formed a fist. He then swiftly delivered a punch to the sect master and supreme elder chest simultaneously.

Seeing, how concentrated Devon was when he punched them, one could tell that he was aiming to kill both the sect master and supreme elder with a single punch.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Gathering all the strength they had, both men managed to thrust their arms out in front of their chest to block Devon's blow.

However, that wasn't enough to block Devon's punch. The two elderly men's arms snapped, and the punch successfully landed on their chest at full force.

The attack was as dangerous as it could be.

The punch was empowered with both cosmic and celestial energy. Just as those two foes were causing a rampage in Devon's body, they were doing the same to the two elderly men.

Truthfully, the combination of both celestial energy and cosmic energy was already an abomination.

One of the unique properties of combining both energies was the destructive forces it produces. It could be said to be the deadliest poison in the world as soon as it gets to the body.

In some cases, if those two energy touches someone skin, he or she could instantly turn to a corpse.

The celestial energy was said to be the energy of the gods, while the cosmic energy belonged to that of the Demons. Now imagine combining that two entities to deliver a hit.

One could get a glimpse at how horrifying these powers were.

Surprisingly, Devon's punch, which was of both celestial and cosmic energy didn't send the two men's bodies flying away or plummeting. Instead, it sent their hearts straight out of their body.

The hearts which was sent out was severely damaged as Devon's fist made a hold appear on it.

Before the two men could stumble to the ground. Devon immediately grabbed them by their neck, he then began absorbing their life energy as fast as possible.

Their heart had already left their body, so he had to get things done very quickly.

Well, absorbing both men's life energy was as easy as taking candy from a baby. And within a minute, what was left of their body was their skeleton.

Devon dropped both bodies.......

Suddenly, heaven and earth started trembling. The original sunny and cloudless sky immediately turned dark with a pitch-black cloud.

Sounds of thunder rumbling and several lightning flashed. The whole area of the Greenland sect went dark, and the lighting within the sky gradually converged at the center of the black clouds.

Devon raised his head and stared at the clouds, "So this is what it means to go against the heavens." Devon mumbled in a low voice.

A protective barrier enveloped Devon, unlike the barrier from last time, this barrier was ten times stronger than the former one. Devon controlled the cosmic and celestial energy in him to the max.

The dominator and the sovereign had once told Devon that for every new realm he attains, the heavens would unleash a tribulation to him.

When he asked why, they said, "Anyone who possesses the talent to go against the heavens would receive divine punishment in every realm he or she attains."

Just like Devon was preparing for the divine punishment strike, the lightning was also doing the same. As the black cloud in the sky became thicker and robust.

*BOOOOMMMMMMM*

Several bolts of lightning struck down from the center of the black clouds towards Devon. The power it carried was so fierce that it seemed to be able to destroy anything it touches.

The bolt of lightning shattered the protective barrier around Devon and struck Devon.

"Puchi." Devon vomited a mouthful of blood.

As the first one struck Devon, he immediately clenched his hand into a fist and threw a punch at the lightning that was still coming his way.

Devon went ten steps backward, never did he expect the divine punishment of heaven should be this powerful.

One had to know that the amount of lightning strike the divine punishment of heaven would deliver would depend on the target talent.

In a few seconds, another lightning had begun forming around the black cloud. The heavens didn't seem to be intending on giving Devon any time to rest at all.

The second lighting came down quickly, with the third following right after. Devon quickly brought out the Demon slayer katana, not caring about the consequence, he immediately slashed it against the lightning with full force.

Devon could feel his blood been greedily absorbed by the katana with each movement he made. However, this wasn't the time to worry about that, at least not until the divine punishment was dealt with.

"Sword energy disintegration." Devon roared with his full strength as he was facing the eight divine punishment strike.

Devon tightened his grip on the Demon slayer as he prepared for the ninth divine punishment.

However, as soon as the black light was about to be formed, a beam of light flew out of Devon's and launched itself at the black clouds.

It was as if the tribulation had met its worst enemy cause immediately the beam of light revealed itself, it vanished away.

The sky which had turned black returned to its sunny state.

"Healing of the Devil." Devon extended his hand forward, and a black sword flew straight to his hand. Earlier, the beam of black light which flew out of his body was the black sword.

The way he gained his power was different from how any powerhouse in the world does. While they could absorb energy from within the air, he wasn't capable of that.

Since he had lost the help from the Devil, he had to absorb the life energy of others, then convert it to celestial and cosmic energy.

Of course, Devon knew what he was getting himself into, but he still chose to walk that part. As it was the only way for him to get the power he needed.

By absorbing others' life energy he was going against the laws and morals of heaven with the talent he had, again that was already something heaven had to be wary about.

So, when the heavens unleashed such horrifying tribulation at Devon, to be honest, it was within expectation.

Devon smiled, he had truly underestimated those bolts of lightning. He clenched his fist, assuring himself that next time won't be like this.

The black sword shook a few times before it then flew back to Devon's body. That place seemed to be the sword's new home.

Devon inhaled the celestial energy, the new realm he attained made a smile appear on his face. To him, who lost the help of the Devil, every increase in his strength was like a blessing.

When he turned around, he was shocked at what he witnessed.

As all the disciples and elders, corpses had turned to ashes. Those bolts of lightning from earlier completely obliterated them.

Devon could feel the effect of overexerting the use of cosmic energy too much. He disappeared from where he was and appeared inside to Greenland sect Treasure-house.

He couldn't help but shake his head, but what else could he expect from a bronze rank sect like the Greenland sect? If they had any incredible treasure, it would have been taking away from them.

Still, he needed these treasures for the auction that was going to be held some days from now.

Devon pointed his storage ring at the treasures, the storage ring was like a suction force.. Maybe it was because it was the treasure was of low quality, the storage ring sucked all the treasure within six minutes.
