Chapter 28 - Limits of Strength

When Tatsuya had entered the gate towards the inheritance dimension of the White Tiger God, he felt an unusual flow of energy enter his senses. Based on his knowledge, this energy should have only existed on the ancient era.

(Primal Origin energy…)

His surroundings are giving off a multi-colored layer of light, resembling that of a galaxy and universe. He knew that his body is currently being teleported into the White Tiger God's inheritance dimension.

Usually, it would only take but an instant to teleport inside an inheritance dimension. However, that is not the case right now, as the mere fact that the White Tiger God had existed here, is already an impossibility that shouldn't have occurred.

Tatsuya's Kokyu Cultivation Technique has automatically begun rotating his profound energy within his body. The profound energy within his body contracted, and formed a bridge that could allow energy to pass through it.

Although, Tatsuya couldn't absorb the Primal Origin energy to advance his cultivation stage, he could store it inside his body for future use. With the help of his cultivation technique, Tatsuya's body started to store the Primal Origin energy from his surroundings.

He could sense his profound veins, it was throbbing unceasingly, conveying its anticipation for the future. After all, cultivating a mouthful of Primal Origin energy equals to a 100 of years of cultivation practice. It could greatly boost Tatsuya's cultivation speed in the future, once he had managed to find a way that could allow him to absorb it for himself.

*Thud*

After more than an hour of wait, Tatsuya's feet finally touched the ground. When he had entered the gate, he had disabled his state of nothingness, as he knew that no one would be able to threaten him inside the inheritance dimension.

(Leaking my own identity is rather a big risk for me…)

As Tatsuya had already encountered different people, he had already piled-up different evidences and traces that could lead up to him. Furthermore, if he had really taken the inheritance for himself, and the people inside the inheritance dimension knew of his identity, Chu Xin would be in danger.

(Eidos Manipulation, Activate…)

*Shiing*

A flash of light passed through Tatsuya's entire body, momentarily lighting up the surroundings. The three elders from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, together with the people from the Heavenly Sword Villa, noticed that someone other than them is among them!

*Tak*

Despite being stripped of their cultivation base, Tatsuya could still use his innate abilities, with the help of his psion reserves within his body. Although, it doesn't amount to much, it is more than enough to fully secure his life here.

"Who are you?!"

Tatsuya then heard a voice from another direction, as he turned his head towards it. He sensed different figures coming at his direction, at a rapid speed. He just stared at their direction, without any emotion showing on his face.

"How did you arrive at this place?"

When the six figures finally arrived before Tatsuya, they directly asked that question towards Tatsuya. However, instead of answering them respectfully, Tatsuya blatantly ignored their question. This showed to these six figures that Tatsuya weren't afraid of them.

"Are you… not going to tell us?"

"Wait. Don't do it, 6th Elder."

"What?"

One of the figures had his face darkened, obviously offended by Tatsuya's attitude. Before he had even begun attacking, one of equal position blocked him, conveying his intent to dissuade the 6th elder from attacking the person before them.

"Let's not waste our time here."

Thankfully, the 6th Elder managed to calm himself down, as he took a step away from Tatsuya. Despite being a Monarch, he knew that in this space, he's nothing but a mortal. If not for their body being sturdy enough, they wouldn't feel any hope at achieving their goals here.

(No one could really see through my disguise at this point. After all, it's not an ordinary disguise; it's a disguise that lets me completely change my physical appearance easily, to the point that the changes are all natural.)

The elder that had blocked the 6th elder took a short while, and stared at Tatsuya's face. The latter possesses crimson-blood eyes that could make someone shudder in fear. His golden hair reached his shoulders at length, paired with his blood-colored robes that intensified his dangerous vibe.

"What's your name?"

"4th Elder, what are you-?"

The 6th Elder felt confused, as to why the 4th Elder had gone up and asked Tatsuya's name. He then sensed a vibe coming off from the 4th Elder body, making him tremble in anxiety. He knew that the 4th Elder is a much worse person compared to himself.

"My name is… Xue Wangzi."

Upon hearing Tatsuya's name, the 4th Elder finally took away his gaze from Tatsuya. He felt shocked deep inside. After all, Xue Wangzi also means Blood Prince, forcing him to feel something odd and unusual from the person before him.

*Woosh*

Then, Tatsuya suddenly took a step forward, vanishing from the sight of these six figures. His speed had reached an insane rate, completely surpassing the speed of these figures. After all, despite being unable to use his profound energy, Tatsuya could aggravate the Tyrannical attribute within his body.

Tyrannical attribute, is the state that Tatsuya had gotten from Xia Yuanba's genetic configuration. It's not a simple attribute that would only increase your profound strength temporarily, but it would also increase your body's physical threshold.

"Such speed…!"

This was the comment that the people that Tatsuya left behind, had said at the same time. The 4th Elder's and the 6th Elder's face darkened, upon discovering that Tatsuya is a stronger than he initially seemed to be.

*Badum*

Suddenly, a horrifying aura that surpassed everyone's expectations, completely pressed down upon them all, including Tatsuya. Tatsuya found out that despite his current physical strength, he couldn't move his body at all.

Initially, he thought of finding the inheritance first, before the other party found it. He didn't expect that the White Tiger God would come towards them himself. This showed that the White Tiger God had been watching them all this time.

"I am the White Tiger God of Destruction. Thee who desires for my power, shall first pass my test."

*Boom!*

The voice of the White Tiger God ripped apart the space around the whole inheritance dimension. However, it also carried a mysterious power that completely enveloped Tatsuya and others, making them completely unharmed.

(What?)

Before Tatsuya had even known it, he already stood before a gigantic pillar. The other party was nowhere to be seen, as only a desolate land filled with nothing entered his sight. He could fill the aura of death looming everywhere, making the place particularly terrifying.

(What in the world is this place?)

Tatsuya thought to himself, while checking out his surroundings. He remained on guard, constantly at all times. His profound veins still remained docile and unmoved, but a part of it was throbbing constantly. It was the tyrannical attribute that is unceasingly getting stronger at each passing second.

"Mortals, my test are divided into three stages, whereas the first stage is where you will showcase the limits of your strength…"

*Boom!*

Suddenly, the explosive profound energy that stayed dormant this whole time, exploded without any restraints. Tatsuya's body was completely enveloped by a tiding current of his profound energy.

6th stage of the Earth Profound Realm

That was Tatsuya's current cultivation stage, making him practically an Emperor Profound Realm practitioner at this point. The tyrannical attribute still constantly throbbed within his body, unceasingly getting stronger. It seemed that a whole realm of increase, still wasn't the limit of the attribute.

"Mortal, you will fight beings that rivaled the strength of the Emperor Profound Realm cultivators at your world."

(Hm?)

Tatsuya found something weird from the White Tiger God's statement. It seemed that it was only talking to him right now, and it also allowed him to sense the danger behind the test itself. Based from the statement, Tatsuya would fight beings that have strength equals to that of Emperor Profound Realm.

It meant that Tatsuya would fight entities that doesn't possessed any profound energy, but other kind of strength that allowed them to stand on equal terms with that of Thrones.

*Bzzt*

The gigantic pillar that stood far away from Tatsuya had begun vibrating. It produced lightning sparks that carried enough power to completely decimate Tatsuya in an instant. It seemed that it had already surpassed the threshold of the Nine Mortal Realms.

(White Tiger God's Pole, eh.)

Upon using the Elemental Sight's ability towards the gigantic pillar, Tatsuya managed to perceive its origin and information. He felt shocked that only the White Tiger God could use and handle the power of that pole.

Furthermore, there were 9 different divine lightning entities hiding inside the pillar, making it practically a weapon and a catalyst to increase one's talent and strength. It meant that obtaining that pillar would allow that person to gain the 9 different divine lightning for himself.

*Bzzt*

The lightning that flickered across the pillar suddenly went haywire and had hit the ground just a dozen meters away from Tatsuya. A ripple spread throughout the whole desolate land, passing through Tatsuya's body.

Thousands of different mysterious skeleton beings, equipped with lightning-based weapon, appeared before Tatsuya. They all emanated danger that rivaled that of a Throne, confirming that the entities before him are the one he needed to finish.

*Roar!*

(Decomposition, Activate.)

(Baryon Lance, Activate.)

Facing the thousands of Emperor Class entity, Tatsuya immediately used his combat innate abilities. Now that his profound energy is usable, Tatsuya could fight these entities without any restraint. His current prowess, completely surpass that of an Emperor Profound Realm cultivator.

*Boom!*

*Roar!*

In an instant, his innate ability had already erased a hundred of those entities, while also heavily injuring a pair of fifty skeletons. Some howled in agitation, feeling provoked by Tatsuya's decimation of their comrades.

(Mist Dispersion, Consecutive Activation.)

Reaching a whole new realm of strength, Tatsuya found out that he could already use his innate ability Decomposition easier compared to past. He aimed at different figures, and fired off his innate ability.

Instantly, more than a hundred of skeletons turned into mist. This development seemed rather convenient, but it's not that easy. Thousands still remained before Tatsuya, making it practically hard to beat all of them.

(This way of fighting is pointless… I don't have a choice but to use that.)

Tatsuya thought to himself, as he used his extreme control over the profound energy to jump towards the air. He then used his Flash Cast to direct a formation diagram beneath his feet. The formation diagram allowed him to fly constantly at the sky, as the skeletons turned their heads toward his direction.

(Material Burst, Activate.)
