That was when one could feel the heavens above pushing you below and the earth forced you to nowhere, trapping you in the middle. No place in the heavens and the earth felt so small to you.

When Manstein met this energy directly, he just felt like that. There was some sense of pain that he felt the world forced him to feel. The first wave of this energy acted as a furnace, burning his soul directly!

He clearly detected what these energy intended. ‘They really wanted to reduce the aptitude of my spiritual roots!’

Because the main factor of increasing power in this world was through your spiritual roots, to restrain outsiders the world had to suppress their own strength before reducing their potential there.

As for why the world had to do it, of course, it was the natural defensive measurement. Manstein also startled about the works of everything that this world had.

“Cold!” the second energy that came from far away place gave him sudden cold while at the same time he also burned. This, of course, the pain that inflicted the soul and even with that Manstein still endured it.

“Not as painful as my soul leaving my body though!” but Manstein knew that every second he had to spend in this kind of situation would make him lose his potential in his spiritual roots but for him, it was all worth it!

‘Pressure, heat, cold. I hope that the next will not produce a magnetic storm.’ Manstein then instructed his Intelligent Assistance Device to check the probability of magnetic storm happening.

‘Fortunately, no one is here.’ Thought Manstein as the ceiling of the hall started to crumble. It could not withstand the pressure that came with every kind of energy to one place.

When the fourth descended, a sudden change occurred throughout the world! And of course, every person could detect these anomalies because of this. They could see that and even felt the small amount of their energy flew away.

“What is happening!?”

“How can this be?”

“There is Heaven Restriction at that place, is there any newcomers?”

Numerous question popped inside their mind. Even some old monsters who were meditating could not escape this and their small amount of energy flew to the same direction.

“No way.” At the peak of a mountain near Xuan city, Wei Liang that just recently meditating must halt. He then stood up and saw that thousands of energy formed a trail above his head.

-Analyzing the energy....

-The energy is in chaotic mode and corrupting the spiritual root. Suggesting to stop absorbing process now!-

The monotonous sound from IAD made Manstein nodded his head but what he wanted still not happen. ‘That is to grasp every possible energy in this world and study it myself.’

Even with the data from the device, he could not conclude the result. And there was also another thing that he had to worry. ‘Does anyone know about it?’ Manstein then looked at the place where Ye Shui was placed previously.

Then he looked at one of the popped up blue screen.

-Temporary Boosted Energy. Subject will lose its life due to the similar condition of someone who reached the end of life.-

Then his expression turned grim. ‘Then at the time when Ye Yingyuan said that his grandfather was healthy because of the treatment, is it actually this?’

“I’ll accept everything you will throw at me!” because of this that he then intentionally absorbed every energy around him. He just threw himself like crazy maniacs and no one bothered him.

He still did not know until he got Intelligence Assistance Device that, when someone reached the end of their life they were like a fire which shone before finally extinguish. This mostly happened to ordinary person too for a day or two but maybe because of the energy in this world that he could still hold this condition for two months.

‘Maybe, maybe they also realized this!?’ Manstein then thought about everything that they had done. They were carefree as if nothing would happen but he doubting it now.

This also granted him some kind of determination inside himself. Because this restriction would only limiting the potential of the person without killing it so Manstein just easily absorbed everything that came towards him.

Although his soul was weak, at least he had a chance to replenish it even the smallest amount by absorbing this energy. Not only that but he started to grasp the elemental energy and even the heaven’s energy!

‘Ha, that time when the tribulation descended I accidentally absorbed a little of this heaven’s energy resulting a lightning came down at me. Looks like something more interesting about this is ready for me to dig out!’

But Manstein was waiting for the last and the fastest to descend, the lightning! But instead, the one that came was the chaotic magnetic storm which could levitate some objects.

“Hah? Where am I?” when Ye Yingyuan finally out with Ye Shui, all the people shocked. They suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd and then finally gave way.

“Come here, child.” Seeing that both of them could get outside, Ye Shui called Ye Yingyuan. But for some reason, Ye Yingyuan hastily walked to him without minding the crowd around them.

“Grandfather, please just tell him everything.” That was what Ye Yingyuan said. From the beginning, he wanted to tell his grandfather but could not due to the situation but now he really wanted to persuade him.

“Tell Cousin that Grandfather has not much time left! Please!” Ye Yingyuan could feel that sign. But he only associated it with some kind of bad luck but when he entered the altar, all the doubt that haunted him now had gone.

“No, but if you insist on it then tell him to come to my room. Other than the business, I also wanted to say something important to him.” Being found out by his grandson made him sighed.

“I know that Cousin is really stubborn and have pride in himself but he did it for us all. Now will be better than not at all.”

The communication between grandfather and grandson in a way that people unaware of it really gave both of them a sense of harmonious family. Sadly, what they had talked about through mind really a bad news.

“Let’s go back. They are waiting for us.” Ye Shui could only console Ye Yingyuan while they held each other’s hand. Ye Yingyuan felt really bitter in his heart.

‘Can’t I do something!? Anything?’ unconsciously, he bit down his lower lips until it bleeds. ‘Then I should ask for....’ when Ye Yingyuan thought arrived here, he then came to a painful truth. ‘Did father and uncle already aware of this?’

Even though the cultivation power between Ye Shui and Ye Canghai only differed in their level but it was still possible to detect something from them, unlike Ye Yingyuan who could not do that because the gap was too large!

“It’s them!” the sound came from Ye Canghai. But Ye Yingyuan’s face already turned gloomy, without its bright and positive charm. Then followed by Ye Guhan, Ye Qingcheng, Ye Xiaobai, Yu Feng and Li Ling.

“What happened?” because the condition of Ye Yinyuan that passively followed behind Ye Shui and his hands grasped it as if did not want to let it go no matter what, Li Ling asked.

“Are you feeling not well?” his brother Ye Qingcheng asked as well. He could not know that the weight inside Ye Yingyuan’s mind increased furthermore.

But for the rest like Ye Canghai, they realized that Ye Yingyuan probably knew about it. They looked at each other before looking towards the patriarch. Then an additional person also came which was not too good.

“So you all are here? Why the gloomy face?” also unaware of the situation, Li Dian then looked at the expression that showed their sadness in it. He also kept in the dark!

“Ai, to think that we need to rebuild the hall again.” Ye Shui then spoke to stop the tense atmosphere around. Indeed, after he said those words the energy then smashed the entire hall flat.

Meanwhile, Manstein who became the center of it all had to withstand it all by himself without anyone assist him. Even Intelligence Assistance Device could only use its warning detection to let Manstein knew the injuries and damage to his spiritual root.

-Spiritual root potential dropped once again! Probably at 0,5 point!-

-The user absorbed the essence of heaven’s energy along with elemental energy. Additionally, the soul has reached critical damage! Suggesting to enter deep hibernation while restoring energy.-

There were two notifications from IAD that Manstein could hear. But he only saw darkness when that last notification came.

-The heaven detected the act of the user and placed Tribulation and Retribution seal on the user’s soul and with current method cannot possibly be removed until enough data are collected.-

Then with a flash, Wang Yu that watched all of this in the dark together with Alice retrieved the slumbered state of Manstein’s soul.

“Is he crazy!? I really surprised when you say that this person definitely is the person you are looking for but to think that he can become this extreme..” commented Wang Yu. Alice could only smile at the angry Wang Yu.

“He probably interested in something. Once he determined to do something, only absolute death can stop him maybe?” Alice understood that. She often saw Manstein together with Ben doing all kinds of experiments without rest for two days and two nights just for the sake of improving the probability of the Soul Transfer method.

“But if he is important to you then he is also important to me, alright.” Stated Wang Yu. “Besides, sooner or later you should make your appearance once again and unify the world.”

Alice’s face turned dark when she heard that. “I never intended to conquer this world or anything. I only wanted to find the clue about the Universe Gate! That was the only objective I had in mind that time.

“But now, I also have to support Senior Manstein and together leave this world,” Alice said with resolution.

-

The event that day shook the entire cultivation world. Even some old monster that usually lurked around the shady places around the world now had their focused shift to a certain place.

“Those energies headed towards that place.” Murmured a man with a straw hat. With a hidden scar in his forehead, he walked further down to the central continent where all the great power centered around.

“Damn it all.” Since that day he escaped, his recovery speed only increased a little bit akin to a snail. He was Nie Yang and now he also thought about the most treasured item in his disposal.

‘Right, the bag. That was the only thing that I found in some ancient remains and it even contained movement technique.’

The movement technique Escape from Heaven really terrifying. He had a thought that the bag belonged to someone from a grand background in the past but the owner perished somewhere in the remains.

Right when he recalled the memories from the past, five people with yellow robe stood and surrounded him. They held weapons and each one of them released a strong killing intent.

‘Another cannon fodder.’ Commented Nie Yang. He checked them before and their cultivation base was disappointing in his view only at early to late stage Foundation Establishment. Nie Yang purposely hiding his true power to bait this kind of people.

“You know what to do right?” said one of them. Nie Yang could recognize where they came from. There was only a single color on their clothes and each color represents their position within the sect.

‘I wonder if they have a connection to the elders of Seven Color Sect.’ There was no way for early stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to had a position at yellow ranks. At most, they would fit in the position of orange rank.

“I know. Get rid of some pests here.” Nie Yang’s eyes turned cold and he started using his power to slowly torture their mind by displaying his might. When they tried to raise their battle prowess, Nie Yang would increase his power output.

Several clashes occurred before the victor could be decided even though it was already obvious.

“You...why senior did not tell us!?” because they realized that the man with straw hat in front of them had a strength that surpassed them in body and cultivation base so they could only swallow the bitter loss.

Some of them were being played to their death by him. This made them trembled in fear and the figure of Nie Yang suddenly appeared behind their back!

“If you have that, then this will be the warning for Seven Color Sect to never provoke me!” Nie Yang walked away with the grounds filled with blood stain and blood pool. The smell of blood was spread to the surroundings with the battle.

Then the remaining man in yellow robes felt cold on their neck before realizing that their head was separated from their body. The last image they probably saw was the fountain of blood that their body produced before fell down.
