Replicating the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins

With 1 year till Yun Che's wedding which was when he found Jasmine, Ao Rai's fastest way to increase his strength and battle power was to replicate Xia Yuanba's special physique, the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins. Seeing the owner of this physique walking out onto the street, Ao Rai instantly moved into motion.

"Hey Yuanba, I've always admired your manly physique, and I've been to nervous to come up and start a conversation, but I was wondering, how do you get so buff?" Ao Rai shrugged internally, Xia Yuanba isn't the smartest anyway I doubt he'll be cautious enough to suspect anything from someone who looks his age.

Xia Yuanba was surprised at the random calling of his name but as Ao Rai predicted didn't put his guard up just acting friendly and talkative instead. "I don't know, I've just always been big I guess." laughing while he said this Xia Yuanba rubbed the back of his head lackadaisically.

Laughing Ao Rai responded,"That's great man, my name's Ao Rai, nice to meet you." While he said this Ao Rai patted Xia Yuanba on the shoulder and furtively plucked a hair. Without waiting for a response from Xia Yuanba, Ao Rai turned and left, waving to Xia Yuanba. "Till next time Yuanba, great meeting you buddy!"

Xia Yuanba just stood there shocked and confused, before shrugging and continuing walking down the road, going to visit Yun Che, still known as Xiao Che currently, of all people.

Ao Rai walked down the street, heading towards the exit of the city, in order to head to a secluded area outside the city to refine Xia Yuanba's hair and add the abilities of the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins to his World Dao Profound Veins, the first of many evolutions for them.

3 Hours Later

Having moved to the woods outside of the city, Ao Rai had spent an hour or so carving out a cave into a hill in a secluded part of the forest, since he was unsure of how long it would take to process and refine Xia Yuanba's DNA and integrate it with his current profound veins. Inside his veins, the internal world was incredibly large, even Ao Rai wasn't sure how big it was, but in the centre there was an altar, about 100 metres wide and long forming an almost perfect square, raised above a golden lake, surrounded by many rolling hills and deep valleys, and when Ao Rai ingested the hair of Xia Yuanba, as he channeled the power of his World Dao Physique the hair was transported onto this altar.

Instantly a blindingly bright golden gas, seemingly reflecting all of the celestial bodies present in the internal world to their fullest level of brightness, enveloped the hair, instantly breaking it down and absorbing it before retracting back into the altar. Then, an immense wave of pain assaulted Ao Rai, targeting only his profound veins, as they began to wiggle around inside of his body as if they had a mind of their own. At first they were just wiggling but then they violently contracted, causing spasms of pain to go throughout Ao Rai's body before they expanded violently once again, to twice the size they were originally, and instead of looking vibrantly blue and green they became a gold and turquoise colour, appearing incredibly profound and majestic.

Ao Rai woke up and instantly felt that he was drenched in sweat from the immense pain he went through while he was unconscious, having blacked out from the pain. Smiling wryly he thought to himself,"While I went through incredible tortures on Earth in more than a few of my lives, I was almost instantly knocked out from the pain, I was not expecting that. However, now I am more than ready to become strong I just need to stimulate the new powers of my profound veins, which can be easily done by just reliving one of my past lives, and I know just the one, and in no time my cultivation will soar, and then in the next year I can establish a foundation for myself by visiting the various trials on this planet, before taking the Evil God's blood and forming the perfect foundation for my profound veins, and then going to the realm of the gods." As Ao Rai fleshed out his plan, on paper it seemed good however there were some things he hadn't accounted for, such as the special nature of his physique which he had not fully accounted for yet.
