Success

Although the Heavenly Dao was rather stingy, it did not affect the outcome in the slightest.

The annihilation that had begun consuming Xiao Feng had stopped, and his body began rapidly restoring itself.

The phantoms of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird behind him gradually solidified, and the oppressive aura unique to divine beasts slowly emerged from them.

But what shocked everyone most was the vertical pupil standing upright between Xiao Feng's brows.

Wisps of lightning that struck fear deep into the heart coiled around the vertical pupil.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment, the Five Directional Divine Beasts.

It was simply impossible for a mortal body to withstand so much immense power.

But just now, when the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder had begun destroying Xiao Feng's body, it had also left its power within him.

And the newborn Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird had fused with Xiao Feng to escape annihilation by the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder.

Now that his body had been reconstructed, Xiao Feng contained both the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder and the divine essence of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird.

Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes. Within them, phantoms of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird swam about.

A single glance was enough to rob anyone with a low cultivation level of the will to resist.

In Ouyang's vision, Xiao Feng's status panel underwent an astonishing change.

Name: Xiao Feng (Humanity’s Great Emperor)

Cultivation: Comparable to core formation

Root bone: 0

Luck: 8

Charm: 8

Body tempering aptitude: 11

Exclusive skills: Indomitable Will, Five Directional Divine Beasts

Evaluation: Who says the Human Race has no Great Emperor!

Holy shit! This is the first time I've seen a panel change!

Looking at the changes to Xiao Feng's panel caused by the divine beasts entering his body, Ouyang could not help crying out in surprise.

As expected of a Child of Heaven's Will—he can even make the system change his panel!

Xiao Feng clenched his fists. He could clearly feel power surging through his body, while Heaven and Earth essence circulated within him, nourishing him every moment!

Is this the power of divine beasts?

On Xiao Feng's back, the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird of the Five Directional Divine Beasts looked so lifelike that they seemed ready to break free at any moment!

"Hah!" Unable to help himself, Xiao Feng threw a punch, sending a tremendous wave of air surging from his arm.

It overturned more than a dozen bluestone slabs and blasted a fist-shaped crater half a meter deep into the ground.

Xiao Feng stared at his fist with a foolish grin. If he encountered Ma Xingye again now, he could kill seven or eight of him with one punch.

Before Xiao Feng could come back to his senses from his joy, a knuckle rapped him hard on the head.

Ouyang glared at Xiao Feng in exasperation and scolded, "One roof-wrecker is already enough of a headache, and now you're digging up the floor!"

After Ouyang hit him, Xiao Feng merely chuckled foolishly, not caring in the slightest that he had been struck. Even as Ouyang scolded him, he kept grinning and nodding.

Ouyang walked out of the courtyard and looked at the mountain forest outside Little Mountain Peak, left battered and scarred by the lightning tribulation. He pulled The Complete Introduction to Basic Spell Arts from his pocket.

After committing a spell's instructions to memory, he tucked the book back into his pocket, raised both hands high, and called softly:

"Spring Renewal!"

Drawn by Ouyang's vast true qi, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth transformed into a spiritual rain that showered down over the ravaged mountain forest.

Bathed in the spiritual rain, the trees damaged by lightning sprouted fresh branches.

Lush green wild grasses grew from the rocks that had been split into pieces.

The land, blasted barren by the lightning tribulation, grew verdant once more beneath the spiritual rain, even more luxuriant than before.

But there was nothing he could do about the ruined plank walkways or the dead animals and insects.

"Repair the damaged walkways and bury the dead animals. You caused this, so you do it," Ouyang said.

"As you command, Eldest Senior Brother!" Xiao Feng immediately agreed.

"Oh, right!" Ouyang slapped his forehead and hurried back to his room.

Leng Qingsong, the other two, and Hu Tutu were still immobilized. Even Leng Qingsong's and Bai Feiyu's sword intent remained frozen in place.

Only Hu Yan, the Tibetan Fox, was squatting on a stool with his hands tucked away, waiting for Ouyang to return.

"I don't know how to undo a spell this advanced!" Ouyang looked at the immobilized group with a headache.

"Senior Brother, if you don't mind, may I try?" Xiao Feng asked uncertainly from behind him.

"You?" Ouyang looked at Xiao Feng, then stepped aside dubiously to see how he would undo it.

Xiao Feng stepped forward, formed a sword with two fingers of his right hand, and brushed them across his brow. The Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared once more.

A spatial fluctuation emanated from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, and the four immobilized people regained their freedom of movement.

He only just obtained the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, and he can already use it?

With talent like this, he truly deserves the Great Dao's favor!

Ouyang watched the four begin moving again with some admiration, but his expression immediately darkened.

With its restraint removed, Leng Qingsong's and Bai Feiyu's previously immobilized sword intent blew the roof straight off his room.

Ouyang raised a hand to shield Hu Tutu and glared darkly at Leng Qingsong and Bai Feiyu. "Fix my house tomorrow! Or I'll skin you both!"

Leng Qingsong was an old hand at repairing roofs by now and did not take Ouyang's threat to heart at all.

Chen Changsheng looked excitedly at Xiao Feng and asked, "It worked?"

Xiao Feng nodded at Chen Changsheng, who breathed a small sigh of relief before beginning to tremble with excitement.

The future Five Directional Emperors of the Human Race actually came into being through my hands!

This is the Human Race's only Great Emperor!

Whenever Chen Changsheng thought of this, he could hardly contain his excitement.

Ouyang looked at Chen Changsheng in puzzlement. Does Third Junior Brother end up having a fling with Junior Brother Xiao in the future?

Why else would he be so excited?

Bai Feiyu, however, wore an enigmatic smile. A mighty Body Cultivation expert like this would be an immense help in perfecting his own Dao.

Hu Tutu looked curiously at Xiao Feng's back.

The tattoos covering his entire back frightened Hu Tutu a little.

Grandpa said that foxes with tattoos are no good.

Still worried, Hu Tutu tugged at Ouyang and asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, will Junior Brother Xiao turn bad? He's already started getting tattoos."

Ouyang reassured her, "He won't. Don't worry, Tutu. This is precisely the beginning of Junior Brother Xiao becoming better."

Hu Tutu nodded, but she still watched Xiao Feng uneasily.

Harmony filled the room. Only Hu Yan, the Tibetan Fox, calmly watched everything before him with his hands tucked away.

Every person here was a peerless genius who appeared only once in ten thousand years. The emergence of any one of them heralded the beginning of an era.

But this was also what worried Hu Yan, the Tibetan Fox.

The way of heaven was to diminish the excess and replenish the deficiency.

So many once-in-ten-thousand-years geniuses appearing together would herald not only a magnificent, surging era, but also the beginning of a great catastrophe.

Whenever an era of glittering stars began, countless ordinary people's bones, blood, and tears accompanied it!

Even though he was at the tribulation transcendence stage, he was merely an ordinary tribulation transcendence cultivator.

If a great calamity truly descended, even he would be unable to remain untouched!

Hu Yan, the Tibetan Fox, watched the people before him and sighed softly to himself:

Is a great calamity coming?
