《Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies 》Chapter 338: Devouring Heaven (6)
Advertisement
"It's him!!!" The grey-robed woman's eyes widened as they regarded the Yaoguai. Its body started to implode within itself, a suction force stronger than before began to surge forth with the intent to devour everything, and with the Yaoguai frozen, it couldn't even use its power to resist!!!
"This?!" Venerable Ghost Blade's eyes pierced towards the Yaoguai.
"He's in there?" Recalling the incident of the young man, proficient in death laws, charging fearlessly into the belly of the beast, he couldn't help but exclaim. In truth, he hoped to see the boy's prospect and turn him into a death servant. To think he could call upon the Sovereign Trial Tribulation and even avoid everyone's senses!
The skies of the Dusk Zone continued to tremble as black clouds filled with the essence of death formed. The noise from the tribulation storm continued to resound one after another.
Boom! Boom!
Yi Seo-Jun eyes narrowed, a sharp and expectant glint emerged within them. He looked towards Park Ji-Hu. As if noticing the look, Park Ji-Hu turned towards the gaze to see it filled with meaning. Understanding, he lightly nodded before turning towards the Yaoguai.
The grey-robed woman's body trembled. It was as if it was going to explode with delight before loud, mad laugh filled with insanity resounded beneath the booms of the dark skies.
"He's alive! Perfect! Truly perfect!" Her excitement made her unable to control her emotions or words. If Yan Zaizen could hear her laughter, chills would most certainly tingle down his spine.
Boom!!
Another tremendous boom surged forth, causing everyone to be started as a purple storm formed above. This storm emitted traces of destruction and the will to annihilate all things in creation!
"Two Sovereign Trial Tribulation?!"
If the first tribulation storm gave everyone a small start before swiftly regaining their wits, this one truly startled them to speechlessness. There were times where trials were executed simultaneously. It wasn't common, but amidst talent, it was indeed possible.
However, this was the first time dual trial tribulation happened with two World-Tier Laws simultaneously in from of them! For example, if Yan Zaizen broke through using only the Archery of Pure Destruction, then he would experience two trials, one of the Mortal Law of Archery and the second of the World Law of Destruction.

However, two World Laws simultaneously were far, far too difficult! Far, far too difficult!!
"Befitting a Non, truly befitting!" That pleasant laughter filled with madness-filled excitement resounded causing everyone here to turn towards the grey-robed woman. Even Yi Seo-Jun glanced at this woman, killing intent surged into his eyes and remained.
"Anyone who gets in my way, they can leave their lives behind for this Prince." Thinking this, he waited. However, only because interfering with a person overcoming a sovereign trial tribulation would lead to an unimaginable backlash. No one was willing or capable of withstanding that.
In truth, no one knew why the heavens protected those trying to fight for control of its forces, while simultaneously trying to eradicate their souls. It was a conundrum that baffled many scholars, and likely only those who are Heavenly Gods in the Thirty-Three Heavens would have some semblance of a clue to this contradictory behavior.
Not to mention, the force used to deal with all interference was with full-force. It was like testing someone's bodily defenses with a hand-wielded brick and anyone who comments on your actions with a spray of bullets.
Regardless, they all stayed where they were. There was no reason to move or even be perceived as helping the trial taker. If that happened, it would be too late to regret.
While all this were taking place and emotions with all sorts of hidden meaning were made, Yan Zaizen was at the center.
When he felt that antagonizing force and threat from his body due to something on the outside, he concluded that whoever had affected his near-prophetic instinct was outside waiting. Knowing that there was grave danger awaiting, he decided to speed up his plans. Thanks to the frozen state of the Yaoguai, this was the most optimum time.
There would be no better!
Accelerating the rate of his devouring, even if he felt soul-rending pain as a backlash, he started to devour the entirety that was this Yaoguai, heart and all.
It looked, from the outside, that it was imploding because of the force produced from his soul bloodline. As it shrank further and further, Yan Zaizen could feel more insights beaming into his soul like rays of light. It was an awesome feeling as this Yaoguai of Death and Destruction became a part of him.

Before long, Yaoguai vanished entirely, devoured by him thoroughly. No longer restraining his perception or hiding his existence, he, for the first time, saw the outside world before him. A grey-robed woman was standing alone, her body was faintly trembling, but Yan Zaizen couldn't see her face or expression.
Yan Zaizen frowned. There was also two skyships with two separate crews. He recognized one of the ships instantly. It was Esi's ship, or at least looked like it. The crew of the skyship was different, however. His frown only deepened.
He didn't know why this ship, likely the one he spotted before and concluded it wasn't Esi, decided to follow him so far.
The last group was a race of silver-skinned, horned, and emerald eyes humanoid species.
"The Oneuli Empire's Race?" As he recalled information about them, their understanding towards time and decay, he couldn't help but be confused even further. Three parties he'd never met or seen before were gathered about as if they had followed him. Not only that, he was the center of attention!
The Tribulations above grew increasingly restless. The thundering sounds emitted was chaotic. Observing the changes in the tribulation storms, Yan Zaizen honed his focus.
The questions in his mind were secondary to this. Not to mention, his ambitions weren't as simple as just surviving this tribulation, but…
Licking his lips, the black hole in his glabella spun slightly. "Two? Two?!" As he noticed the two storms, purple and black, he felt increasingly dissatisfied.
"The heavens, I'm far too hungry for such a paltry meal!" As he said those words, the booms grew increasingly louder but did not form completely to strike down. Yan Zaizen laughed slightly, closing his eyes and steadying his breathing.
An aura permeated from his body like a soft tidal wave. The surrounding space started to absorb this aura. It contained a vibrant life force that seemed to be unyielding against all challenges!
This aura was quite familiar and likely Yan Zaizen's most familiar law!
Ths Unyielding Flame of Life!!
The spectators all, nearly simultaneously, frowned.
Park Ji-Hu, despite his profound cultivation base, wore a confused expression. "Is he trying to overcome the death trial with life laws?" His tone was filled with confusion as this plan would never work unless one had the cultivation base to back it up, this was especially so in the Dusk Zone where Life Laws were weakened. Hence, it was a futile effort and a waste of energy.
It wasn't just him who thought this was the case, but Venerable Ghost Blade also assumed the same. He shook his head in disappointment but said nothing else.
"Befitting a Non!!!" The grey-robed woman cried. Only she knew what was happening. Yan Zaizen wasn't using his life aura to combat the death trial but using something similar to inverse insight! With two opposing laws on the spectrum, he was using the thick, dense aura of death to rubberband forward his understanding of life!
Which means…
BOOM!
This sound was fresh and filled with a youthful, everlasting vibrancy in a similar way as the aura of a newborn child! Everyone glanced upwards.
"What is that?! Is this even possible?!?"
"Life...Tribulation?"
"Is this a triple tribulation with three world laws?! O'heavens!!"
If before they were slightly shocked by the first, rendered speechless by the second, then this third time had them questioning their own senses and conventional thinking. The one who experienced the most intense emotions were the Crown Prince of the Oneuli Empire, Yi Seo-Jun!
His eyes seemed to be frothing with light, spewing out emerald rays of excitement. "The Mind of a Non-Entity, the Mind of a Non-Entity!" In his mind, these set of words echoed, and with each echo, his excitement would heighten further.
"I must obtain it!"
