Divine Lightning Art

The White Tiger God's voice reverberated across the entire inheritance space. It even reached the ears of those people who were still undergoing on the first stage of the inheritance space. Their face changed dramatically, as they realize that someone is already on the verge of having the inheritance.

"Impossible… How can that be?!"

The 4th Elder who once deemed Tatsuya as a very dangerous individual, felt rather complicated hearing that statement from the White Tiger God. He can't help but shout in shock, as he couldn't comprehend the current situation.

"Xue Wangzi… Is he the one that the White Tiger God was talking to?"

He was so focused on his thoughts that he completely ignored the approaching Lightning Skeletons across him. The Lightning Skeletons that were approaching him carried a completely different aura compared to the ones that Tatsuya fought.

*Roar!*

One of the Lightning Skeletons suddenly sped up its pace, immediately arriving before the 4th Elder, as if it had teleported. The sound of the air getting ripped apart caused the 4th Elder to wake up from his daze.

"Rend!"

The 4th Elder took a half-step back, dodging the claws of the Lightning Skeleton. As the Lightning Skeleton's momentum still made it go forward, the 4th Elder slashed his sword towards the skeleton. The profound energy around the space vibrated intensely, as it condensed into a slash.

*Boom!*

The instant that the slash condensed into attack, it reached the Lightning Skeleton in the next instant. The attack was so powerful that the Lightning Skeleton completely split into two. The slash didn't stopped there, and continued destroying the skeletons from afar.

"Sigh… mission failed."

The 4th Elder said in a low voice, with a wry smile evident on his face. Across him is a large sword mark that dug into the ground, along with the various kinds of skeleton that formed a large mountain.

Despite having this much power, the 4th Elder still wasn't able to destroy all of the Lightning Skeletons. Furthermore, his profound energy is already reaching its limit. He was already extremely exhausted, and now that the White Tiger God seemed to have chosen its inheritor, he further lose motivation to continue.

"I wonder, how's the 2nd Elder faring?"

…

"Prepare yourself!"

The White Tiger God determinedly told Tatsuya, with a confident smile on his face. It seemed that the former is already pretty confident that the latter would be able to pass the third test. After all, he already witnessed for himself, the limitless potential of the youth before him.

"…"

Tatsuya kept quiet, without mincing any words. He just focused on the changes that he could sense from his body. He could instantly sense the earth-shattering change that had just occurred from his body. It was as if he had gained the sense to instantly perceive anything within his surroundings even without the Elemental Sight active.

The White Tiger God extended his hand forward, as if calling something to appear before him. The aura on his body intensified further, and reached a level that Tatsuya cannot hope to comprehend at his current level.

*Bzzt*

Lightning sparks jumped around the White Tiger God, as the White Tiger God's Pole emitted an intense pressure around the space between the White Tiger God and Tatsuya. The latter could sense an extreme power descending into the space.

Likewise, the other people aside from Tatsuya and White Tiger God also sensed the heaven-shattering power. Their face all distorted into fear, as it was their first time to sense something of this magnitude. Even the Elders from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region weren't exception.

*Bang!*

In the next instant, the space around the whole inheritance space ruptured into bits. The White Tiger God extended his aura towards Tatsuya, preventing the latter from harm. Despite this, Tatsuya wasn't even aware of the White Tiger God's action. He was solely focusing on the blood before him.

"T…this…"

Instead of his usual calm voice, a shocked voice permeated the air and it came from Tatsuya himself. The godly properties that shouldn't even exist reflected into Tatsuya's special sight, as he couldn't believe in himself that something such as this blood could exist.

(That reaction is rather unexpected… Looks like this youth possesses a special sight.)

The White Tiger God noticed Tatsuya's shock, as he instantly saw through the cause of such event. Still, that even made him happier, as he felt that he had really struck it gold this time. Furthermore, he already sensed long ago that Tatsuya is more than compatible with his blood.

"This blood of mine won't give you like that of the special veins within your body. But, it will make your body evolve into insane proportions…"

The White Tiger God slowly explained himself, as he tried to alleviate the shock on Tatsuya's face. However, not a thread of decrease could be traced from Tatsuya's shock. It seemed that Tatsuya was focusing on something else.

(H…how could this blood possess it?)

Tatsuya endlessly repeated that thought inside his head, as he could see the insane properties within the blood with his special sight. It was a very fundamental thing for himself, only for him.

Ever since Tatsuya begun using his innate ability Decomposition, together with the Regrowth, he already knew from the start that his innate ability seemed to be complementing each other. However, his other innate ability Elemental Sight seemed to be lacking something and that is the access into the Quintessential Realm.

This blood is something that could gave way for him into his goal, accessing the Quintessential Realm. It was more than enough to completely shock him, as this realm is something that he believed where everything existed. Accessing this realm will basically allow him to become all-powerful.

But, this blood could only give him a little hint on how to access this realm. For Tatsuya, it was more than enough, plenty enough. Not to mention, the capability of the blood to make him more powerful than ever.

"Please do start the process."

"Sure do…"

The White Tiger God was waiting for Tatsuya to calm down this whole time, before starting the process of blood absorption. After all, he couldn't just start the process with the state that Tatsuya was previously in.

"Destruction…"

White Tiger God slowly said that word, as the red blood before them began to shine. The space around the blood unceasingly broke into bits, proving that the space within the inheritance space couldn't even hold this blood at all.

Tatsuya knew that this blood is the absolute representation of the real White Tiger God, and not even the soul fragment of the White Tiger God beside him could compare to it. He already knew from the start that this White Tiger God beside him is just the soul fragment of the real one.

Even then, the soul fragment of the White Tiger God is already too powerful for him to even comprehend. The power of the White Tiger God had already surpassed the Seven Divine Profound Realms.

"Go…"

The White Tiger God pushed his hand forward, as the blood before them suddenly became stable. The unceasing destruction of the space around the blood also stopped. The blood suddenly changed color, and became like a sapphire.

"…"

The aura from the White Tiger God that surrounded Tatsuya retreated back into the former's location. Tatsuya's focus suddenly reached a terrifying height, as both of his fists formed a grip. Tatsuya is ready to absorb the blood, as this scene made the White Tiger God nod in approval.

*Swooosh!*

The sapphire blood suddenly vanished, instantly teleporting before Tatsuya's chest. Without any notice, it entered Tatsuya's chest like a water droplet. The inheritance space suddenly went quiet, as the White Tiger God still had a smile on his face.

*Swoosh!*

Out of nowhere, a wind appeared from Tatsuya and blasted everything in the surroundings. Tatsuya felt his eye throbbed, as he quickly entered the Information Dimension. He knew that the throb was the sign of the incoming heart-rending pain.

*Bzzt*

A single azure lightning spark crackled within Tatsuya's eyes, forming an ever-changing line. Tatsuya's eyes were still open, as his body just stood immobile. He didn't utter any painful sounds, and this made the White Tiger God quite speechless.

Tatsuya was analyzing every single changes occurring on his body, while he's on the Information Dimension. He could sense every part of his body evolve into terrifying levels, making his physical strength reach a horrifying realm.

The profound veins on his body throbbed on its own volition, as it began absorbing the Primal Origin energy to supplement the rapid evolution of Tatsuya's body. As Tatsuya's organs evolve, his profound veins are also evolving.

2nd stage of the Earth Profound Realm

His base cultivation is increasing slowly, as the Primal Origin wasn't focused on his cultivation, but on the rapid improvement of his body. Tatsuya could sense that his body is slowly and gradually emanating a terrifying sensation.

…

"Hm. Is it done?"

The White Tiger God said, noticing the sudden disappearance of the lightning bolt that Tatsuya's eyes were releasing. He silently waited for Tatsuya's reemergence that he was greatly anticipating for. He could feel happiness flowing into his very soul.

*Bang!*

Suddenly, a very terrifying ripple spread across the entire inheritance space. It extended into the void without stopping, as lightning sparks gradually appeared on Tatsuya's whole body. Even though the lightning sparks should have destroyed his clothes, it didn't because everything is under Tatsuya's control.

Tatsuya slowly opened his eyes, as his vibrant blue eyes gleamed brightly. Only a vast calm lake could be sensed from his eyes, as his eyes released an azure-colored lightning bolt.

*Badum*

The instant that he had opened his eyes, every single individual within the inheritance space felt threatened. They all felt fear sprouting from the depths of their heart, as their instinct told them to lower their head.

"Hmm?"

The 2nd Elder, who is the most powerful that took the inheritance test, lifted his head up with a trace of frown on his youthful face. He sat on a large mountain filled with skeletons, while holding a crimson blood-colored sword within his hand.

He could feel the slight rise of his heartbeat, proving that he is currently instinctively afraid of something within the inheritance space. The frown on his face deepened further, as he could sense a trace of unease on his heart.

"Divine Lightning Art: First Form, Subtle Leaf."

Tatsuya calmly said, as he gripped both of his fists. He punched the air before him, unhurried yet fast. He felt his power condense into a single point, as it dispersed like a ripple into the physical realm.

*Bang*

A ripple resulted from his punch, appeared in the space before him. It spread and extended, while destroying everything in its way. The White Tiger God felt proud, while watching Tatsuya's punch.

"It isn't perfect yet, but it already carries this much power…"

Tatsuya slowly said, as the lightning arc on his eyes still remained. His disguise had already vanished, and he was back to his usual physical appearance. The blood that the White Tiger God bestowed unto him is more powerful than expected.

Furthermore, he only used his physical strength on that attack, yet that attack could already destroy a cultivator of Sky Profound Realm. If he added profound energy into that attack, the attack would be strengthened further.

His body had also formed a lightning bead where all of his natural lightning energy would come from. It would occasionally absorb profound energy to form lightning energies for Tatsuya's use. The Primal Origin energy had been sucked dry, as it boosted Tatsuya's cultivation.

5th stage of the Earth Profound Realm

"Perfect the different forms of the Divine Lightning Art, Tatsuya."

"Yes, master."

Now that the White Tiger God had given Tatsuya a form of new combat technique, Tatsuya obviously acknowledged the former as his current master. After all, his profound veins could now absorb Primal Origin energy thanks to the former's blood.

Tatsuya estimated that he could fight Overlords easily. He wasn't sure of the Monarch, as that level is a whole different level compared to the lower realms. But, he is confident that he could destroy them, if he gave everything he got.

For him to know whether he could fight them, he must at least first with a Monarch first, before reaching a conclusion that he could indeed fight them with his current cultivation base. Even then, he wasn't that overconfident, as his Elemental Sight is still always active.

"Now then, you said that you have questions? Let's hear it before this soul fragment disperses…"
