Dao Marks Revealed, the Heart Demon Tribulation!
"Heavenly Thunder Refines the Body, the Great Dao Forges the Form!"
"With a clear mind and abundant energy, I will reunite my Nascent Soul!"
Qin Lu murmured, his body transcending the mortal realm. Every inch of his flesh and meridians was composed of the power of the Dao Law, and the benefits of Innate Spirit Physique...
Now the whole picture is revealed!
The spirit and body merged further, bringing it ever closer to the Dao itself, and Dao Mark emerged on its body...
This is Innate Dao Mark. Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, after reforging their bodies, can integrate all their life's learning to form Dao Mark...
Each Dao Mark is unique!
It is equivalent to the innate divine Divine Ability of the Demon Race, while Human Race Nascent Soul Cultivator call it: Innate Divine Ability, which is the Divine Ability transformed from one's own destiny!
The power of Innate Divine Ability abilities far surpasses that of ordinary techniques!
Its abilities are incredibly diverse, far exceeding the comprehension of ordinary cultivators; this goes beyond simply applying the principles of the Dao Law...
Instead, they come in many varieties!
For example, the True Lord Mystic Sword: Gu Xuanzhen, his Innate Divine Ability is called: Life Pursuit!
The ability is simple: by using the Great Dao of the Sword, one can lock onto the enemy and instantly teleport to them, no matter how far away they are...
Just now, when Gu Xuanzhen was fighting the Penguin Emperor, he relied on his Innate Divine Ability to instantly intercept the Penguin Emperor. Otherwise, a Demon Emperor was proficient in the Dao Law the raging wind...
How could Gu Xuanzhen have caught up with him?
However, Nascent Soul Cultivator can usually only form one Dao Mark, while cultivators with Innate Spirit Physique naturally possess an extremely high affinity for the Great Dao...
Therefore, various Dao Mark can be formed!
At this moment, Qin Lu's Dao body underwent a transformation, with three Dao Mark slowly taking shape, corresponding to the three Dao Law Nether Soul, Soul Wood, and Soul Poison...
Qin Lu stretched out his limbs, as if merging into the Great Dao!
He passed the Three Nascent Soul Tribulations, including the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.
Next comes the second of the Three Nascent Soul Tribulations Heart Demon Tribulation!
Qin Lu sat cross-legged in the heavens, gathering the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, and absorbing the souls of billions of living beings, thereby continuously strengthening his divine soul and consciousness, and thus constructing the prototype of his Nascent Soul...
After the Lightning Tribulation, the physical body attains enlightenment and the mind achieves perfect understanding!
Drawing upon the Great Dao Long River Great Dao Long River, a section of its waters is taken and combined with the power of the divine soul to forge the Nascent Soul...
This step is crucial!
Qin Lu's physical body was flawless, and his Great Dao of Soul was even more clearly revealed in the heavens. Due to the annihilation of billions of living beings, the Great Dao Long River of his Dao of Soul manifested in many ways...
In this way, we can intercept even more of the Great Dao's water!
Qin Lu turned to the heavens, absorbing the Great Dao, his pupils bursting with spiritual light. He then activated his Mystic Soul Dao Body, causing the Great Dao to resonate with him...
"Hurry up and come here!!"
With a single decree from Qin Lu, a section of the Soul Dao Long River was forcibly intercepted and infused with Endless soul energy, forming an infant-like body...
It slowly condensed and took shape!
Qin Lu's consciousness was also enveloped by the Great Dao Long River, seemingly about to drown him within it, thus beginning his Heart Demon Tribulation...
Deep in my heart--
When Qin Lu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a grove of trees, holding the Tai'e Sword in his hand, and before him...
She was a charming young girl!
Qin Lu was stunned for a long time before he finally remembered the girl in front of him...
"Qi Bailing..."
Qin Lu muttered to himself, looking at the girl in front of him whose tendons and ligaments he had severed, wailing helplessly. Qin Lu's expression remained unchanged...
"Please, please!"
"Please let me go! I'll give you anything, I'll agree to anything!"
"Please, let me go, let me go..."
Qi Bailing sobbed, her cries heart-wrenching, but Qin Lu ignored her, making the same choice he had made years ago...
The girl's cries echoed through the night sky!
Qin Lu's Dao heart remained calm and undisturbed. Even if he were to relive his journey, he would be willing to sacrifice anything for his own Dao Path!
So what if I'm selfish?
So what if you lose your humanity?
If you lack power, then the next person to suffer the same fate will either be yourself or your descendants. Ants have no dignity...
Dignity is built solely on force!
final--
The girl's face was sallow, her hair was snow-white, and finally, her breath ceased...
Qin Lu bowed to him again, but his face showed no remorse whatsoever!
His path was destined to be fraught with difficulties.
The saying goes, "Rising from the mud unsullied," but how can one remain untainted without being immersed in layers of mud? Beneath a noble exterior...
Dirt and bloodshed are the underlying tone of everything, the beginning of the cycle!
When the scene changes--
Before Qin Lu stood three ordinary wives: Qin-Chu Clan, Qin-Zhao Clan, and Madame Qin Yan. Did Qin Lu truly have no feelings for them?
It's likely that he did have those feelings, but they couldn't stop Qin Lu in the slightest.
A small bridge over a flowing stream, a gentle breeze and bright sunshine, a beautiful wife at home, a blissful and happy life—everything was perfect, everything aligned with Qin Lu's vision...
Qin Lu and his three wives spent a brief moment of tenderness together.
He then drew the Tai'e Sword, gently stroked its blade, and slew the three mortal wives one by one, his eyes remaining calm and undisturbed...
There was absolutely no emotional fluctuation!
The scene changes again--
This time, he sat high above, as Meng Ao offered him the Heart of a Wood Demon. He sat upright in the Myriad Poisons Pool and sighed softly...
No matter how many times he goes back, his choice will always be the same!
Perhaps his decision was wrong, even inhuman, but Qin Lu would never regret it, nor would he ever hesitate...
When the Qin Clan is weak, even the slightest mistake could lead to their demise!
Some cursed him, some didn't understand him, and some even thought he was a tyrant, but Qin Lu didn't care, even if there were ambiguities...
But whatever he believes in, he believes in.
Even if he's wrong!
Qin Lu would admit he was wrong, because in his eyes there was no right or wrong; anything that benefited him was right!
The scenes shifted one by one, and Qin Lu made his choices again and again!
But all the choices are exactly the same as before.
Until the very end--
When Qin Lu performed a blood sacrifice across the entire Northern Continent, using billions of lives as resources, his heart remained calm...
It was as if it wasn't a person, but just a string of cold numbers!
Even if the corpses were so numerous they could cover the entire continent, Qin Lu wouldn't hesitate for a second, nor would he even raise an eyebrow...
"Human Race, not demons."
"The individual is extremely weak, and the path is fraught with difficulties and obstacles. Therefore, the strength of ten thousand is used to help one person attain enlightenment. Since this is the case..."
"Then why can't it be me?!"
Qin Lu murmured to himself, he had never been a rational person, he was just a madman pretending to be rational, ever since he stepped onto the Dao Path...
From the moment you abandon ethics for your own benefit!
He had gradually descended into madness. If he were an ordinary person, he would accept his Heavenly Fate; if he were a prodigy, he would save the world...
But unfortunately, he was just a Pseudo-Immortal Seedlings!
He broadened his horizons but had no power to change them; he saw a beautiful world but was deprived of his sight. He was unwilling to accept this!
I'm not reconciled!
If that's the case, why should he be self-disciplined and strict with others, and why should he abide by the rules...?
He hates, so he's willing to do anything for it; he yearns for it, so he's willing to give up everything. Life is but a fleeting few decades...
If it's not spectacular, don't climb to a high place for a panoramic view.
What's the point of his life then?
Were you born just to survive?
To live such a lowly life, losing all dignity, just to be a slave to others?
Qin Lu was unwilling, hence the struggle; for this he lost, and where will he find refuge?!
Everything is for myself!
If a person doesn't act, they will be condemned by heaven and earth. A person's life is just about living, so why are you so noble? Why are you entitled to happiness and fulfillment?
Since I don't have it, I'll use any means necessary to seize it!
