Chapter 142 Guard's Down

"She's dead, you can let your guards down." Liam assured them as he got closer to the ground and landed in front of them, they looked at him behold he was whole from the sole to his feet to the hair on his head, not a single stain nor cut was on the dress he was wearing.

The elders of different sect were super amazed, it was as though they are looking at a senior, a very mysterious one at that.

Jordan on the other hand was unconscious, the aura of life is still coming out of him which made them believe that he is alive, they sent him only a few glances while their eyes focused mainly on Liam.

Not just a genuis in alchemy but also a battle wise genius that no man there can boast of beating.

Few hours later, the whole of the great sun kingdom threw a very large banquet, all workers were given day off with cash to spend the day off.

The poor were given more than enough to eat and the people all made merry, even the emperor and kings weren't left out infact they were the one celebrating the most as they would have seen what it meant to be a king without people if it wasn't for the intervention of heaven sent heroes.

"Mom. it's big brother,he is hero."

A young guy with beautiful designed ponytail ran to her mother with the art of her big brother, she was no other than Liam's little sis.

Emerald stared at the artwork of Liam, her eyes could not help but water, once again her son has saved not only her but the whole of the continent.

Thinking back of how her husband almost ruined the life of today's savior made her want to cry more.

Gregor also got the artwork of the hero, his very son and he too could not help but weep in his heart for his act of foolishness that almost made the world a mess.

Konad and his father Zonad has been able to reconcile with each other after the incident of the serpent queen, a demonic entity, they now knew what life meant to be over and thus they stopped wishing each other death.

Zonad did not want to say anything about his son learning from someone younger when he heard about his wonderful stories.

The hunters who were sent to scout ahs those sent to hunt were all feeling extremely joyful and thankful to Liam.

Every family in this empire saw the face of their hero and they references him so much, his strength was something they couldn't go against.

Meanwhile, the hero at the moment was at the top of a mountain, seated in a lotus position with someone standing behind him. - Jordan.

'The power in this is too much, but if I can absorb it, the growth will be rapid and better cause it's purely demonic essence cultivated and not qi or any other essenses." Liam muttered to himself, right now he was staring at the power core of the serpent queen that's probably imprisoned in hell right about now, the zeal to consume it right now was all over his body that zeal for power and authority to rule the world and not be ruled, his eyes was staring afar as though he was trying to see how far his own strength could grow.

In the earth stage of cultivation, there are four realms, [Earth lord, Earth king, Earth ruler, Ascension realm] all of them have the same nine levels. first three are known as beginning, second are known as mid and the last are known as the peak.

Right about now he was at the peak of the mortal stage of cultivation, he would soon meet the mortal tribulation which might take his life, however in the state of bond with any of his bloodline soul and the rapid growth of strength, he would be able to ascend without any casualty.

Liam sent a gaze at the power core for the last and final time before he then activated the bond.

Jordan standing beside him knew what was good for him and then he immediately stepped backward.

Meanwhile Liam transformed.

After transforming, his fist clenched around the power core with a look in his eyes, then without hesitating any longer he placed the power core in his mouth and swallowed it.

At first it was the warm candy like taste which immediately transformed to something entirely different, it transformed to power, so much immense power that his weak body was unable to comprehend and he started feeling that feeling of pain.

His eyes sank inside, his eyes stared up ahead but there was no one to help him right now, he has help - Jordan but he told him not to intervene now.

Liam body got extremely vigorous, the flame on his body was moving so fast that Liam might not be able to comprehend it anymore.

His eyes sank in deeper, his claws moved towards his chest and clenched it tightly, the scale was there but the finger was sharp and it quickly bore into his chest as he started bleeding.

The power core that was in his body started cracking open, bringing the power from it inside outside.

The power was so strong, and it gave off a glow that even his scales could not block.

Jordan saw this, his eyes was wide opened in shock.

'Just bare it, the pain might be as a result of trying to evade tribulation.' He thought to himself.

The devil of divine bloodline did not stay still, it was stronger than the serpent queen thus he was unaffected by it's power and he tried his best to help his master successfully absorb that, since Liam was in the bond state with him, any positive thing it does will be useful and he just wanted to use it's knowledge of absorbing so much power core to make Liam get right.

Soon, the power core of the serpent queen completely let out it's final power.

The demon core absorbed all of it hungrily, and it started getting engaged, at the moment bigger than before and was still growing.

However and ridiculously, once it absorbs this energy it grows bigger, then go down again and absorb more get bigger and do the same thing.

It was almost as if it was trying to breath after sucking on something really hard.

Almost three hours later, Liam was still on the ground clenching his stomach nevertheless the pain he was feeling was getting smaller and less painful.

The power in that power core was just 10% absorbed.

Jordan sat on a rock boulder few meters away from Liam, still debating with his inner self if he should go help Liam considering that Liam said he would only need his help if he tripped or something like that.

After ten hours, at the moment Jordan was sleeping while Liam has his eyes closed and his body relaxed however his facial expressions could not hide that he still felt the pain.

Another ten hours later, at this moment it was exactly a day passed the time Liam's demon core started absorbing those demonic energy.

At the moment, Liam was seated in a lotus position with a very calm expression, he was still in the state of bond with his devil of divine flame bloodline soul and at the moment he has already absorbed the power completely, right now his body is undergoing body reconstructure all as a result of the power he has absorbed and the only god knows how many realms he have ascended through the absorption of that power core.

The devil of divine flame bloodline soul bond cancells out pain from the body, which is the number one reason why he didn't deactivate it when when he was done absorbing.

Pain is something to be avoided and thanks to the devil of divine flame bloodline he will be able to avoid it.

Jordan snored loudly as he woke up from the rock boulder, he was lying on at the moment.

The sun was given off a brilliance glow as it smiled on the earth, it wasn't hot neither was it... (ðŸ˜" sun can't be cold, I can't say" neither hot nor cold 🥶)

"He succeeded." Jordan is extremely dumbfounded right now, he could feel that strong presence that Liam gave off as he sat there.

That brilliant power, the power to do the unspeakable.
