7 Legacy

Looking around him, all Jiao Heng saw was darkness.

"Is this a dream?" He frowned and walked forward.

After some unknown time, Jiao Heng started getting irritated and tried activating his secrets but to his displeasure, nothing happened.

"What's with this place?" Turning around, he saw two clusters of lights, one gold and one gray.

Walking around cautiously, Jiao Heng's hand reached out to grab onto the gray cluster and to his surprise, it didn't hurt.

A few seconds later, the golden cluster vanished leaving him with the gray one in his hand.

"So you're my inheritor? Interesting, a being outside the Primal Chaos." The gray light vibrated in his hand as its spoke.

"How did yo—?" Jiao Heng asked in surprise.

"Do not fret. I am no enemy, you can say that fate lets us meet." The gray light assured him.

"... What do you want?" He narrowed his eyes.

"I merely wish to save the Primal Chaos, it is my home after all. Help me and I'll give you all my legacy." The calm voice replied.

Jiao Heng looked at it for a few moments and asked, "Who are you?" 

"I am just a remnant of the past, my name is Xi Ke, the Creation God of Order." 

Jiao Heng's eyes froze hearing that.

Xi Ke? The God of Time? The motherfucker who clutched 1v3 against three Devil Emperors?

"So it's his highness. I apologize for not greeting you properly." Jiao Heng did a short bow.

"Hahahaha, no worries. I do not bother myself with mortal affairs, it's normal if people do not know my true name." Xi Ke waved it off.

"Is that so?" 

"Yes, so what do you say? In return for saving the Primal Chaos, I will give you what I have." 

"Although my current legacy won't immediately elevate you to my previous level, in this current Primal Chaos, you would immediately stand at the apex." Xi Ke laid out his offer.

Jiao Heng pondered for a moment. He wasn't surprised that he can't immediately reach Creation God level after receiving an inheritance from one.

The current Primal Chaos can't handle a True God let alone a Creation God.

But apex huh? Does that mean he'll immediately reach Divine Master Realm?

If that's true, it's obviously favorable for him,

But…

"Why me?" He asked with a confused look. Normally, he would have thought that Yun Che would get all high level legacies with his plot armor.

The green cluster was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Because you are not bound by 'her' fate." 

"I may be part of 'her' but I do not know if her plans are for the well being of the Primal Chaos." Xi Ke spoke with uneasiness.

Judging from the content of his words, Jiao Heng can guess that he must be talking about the Ancestral Goddess.

"And also because I can't leave this place."

"You mean you just appeared here?" Jiao Heng asked in surprise.

"I think… I only remember that after the Myriad Tribulation Poison was unleashed, I was hit by it and had no choice but to activate a life saving method. After that, I just ended up here." Xi Ke said as he tried remembering what happened.

"I see… It's been a long time. The Era of Gods have ended and currently, there's no True God currently in the Primal Chaos." Jiao Heng informed him.

"Hahaha… I'm not surprised. I felt the power of that poison. Even those three were suffering from it." Xi Ke laughed heartedly.

"Though it's a pity that I didn't manage to save Li Suo." 

Li Suo, the Creation God of Life died before he got there.

It's ironic, the God of Time was late on saving his fellow Creation God.

"... You do not need to worry, the Goddess Li Suo is alive, though only a soul of her remains." Jiao Heng informed him of what he knew.

"Is that so?! That's a relief… really, a relief…" if the cluster had a body, no doubt he would be breathing a satisfactory sigh.

"You easily believe that?" 

"Hahahaha, I do not think there's any need to lie to me. I have already accepted her death," Xi Ke paused, "but hearing that she's alive does make me at ease." 

Her death is a loss for the gods, even the peaceful Xi Ke was furious and fought the Three Devil Emperors by himself.

Even if millions of years have passed, her death would always be a pain in his heart.

"She's not completely alive, more like slumbering and has no body." Jiao Heng didn't want to give this man any hopes.

"It doesn't matter. Out of all of us, she's the one who knows how life works the most. As long as she's alive, I can rest assured." Xi Ke didn't mind her situation and was just glad that she's alive.

"Are you sure you still want to give your legacy?" Jiao Heng asked with a hesitant voice.

"If earlier I chose you because I have no choice, now I'm sure I want you to inherit my legacy." Xi Ke said with a determined voice.

A few moments later, the gray cluster floated away from his hand and a man wearing a silver robe with a peaceful temperament appeared.

"I have been observing you since you came to this world. You can say it's fate that we met." Xi Ke said with a solemn voice.

"I have peered into the distant future back then and saw that Ni Xuan's inheritor would save the Primal Chaos from a calamity."

"But as the God of Order, I knew that it's not that simple, even me who has the unsurpassed power of time cannot change it." 

"Jiao Heng, an overbearing name. Would you like to become my inheritor and save the world from the calamity and the Ancestral Goddess' schemes?" 

Using the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl and his own mastery of time laws, he has once foresaw that a calamity would change the Primal Chaos and only the inheritor of the Heretic God can save it.

But as a fellow Creation God, he didn't believe it, or rather, he had seen that threads of fate are controlling Ni Xuan's inheritor.

The Ancestral Goddess, who was said to die and split into 8 fragments in the beginning of the universe, is actually controlling the fate of a mortal.

He doesn't trust the Ancestral Goddess, even if she's his creator.

Back then, he didn't think that he'll get a chance to save the Primal Chaos and can only leave it to Ni Xuan and his inheritor's future.

But it all changes here, looking at this young man in front of him, he knows that this is the reason why he, a dying soul, met this unfathomable person in front of him.

"If you trust me that much then yes, I would be honored to inherit your legacy and save the Primal Chaos." Since Xi Ke is determined, Jiao Heng did not refuse and accepted it with a bow.

Seeing this, Xi Ke nodded with satisfaction and turned into a stream of jade light and penetrated his body.

Feeling the massive energy erupting his body, Jiao Heng gritted his teeth and absorbed the legacy without even uttering a single moan.

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* 

In the Eastern Divine Region, a large cloud formed and thunder and lightning flashed through it.

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

"What… was that?!" An old man with ordinary temperament exclaimed loudly as he looked at the silver lighting forming in the clouds.

"Lightning tribulations?!" 

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

"This… Eternal Heaven Divine Emperor?" A female voice resounded in the old man's ears.

"Ancestor? What do you mean about that?" He asked with a confused voice, his wrinkles deepening more.

"The true master of the Eternal Heaven Pearl has appeared… I can feel it trembling from excitement." The female voice said with helplessness.

"W-What?" The old man's eyes widened.

This… 

"Zhou Xuzi, find and bring the inheritor of the God of Order to our realm. With his existence, the Primal Chaos would be changed by him." The female voice ordered with a solemn tone.

Zhou Xuzi, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, immediately nodded.

That lightning tribulation can be seen in the entire Eastern Divine Region, possibly in the entire Primal Chaos too!

If others managed to get to him, it would be a disaster for their realm.

We must get him first!

"Father, this is…" A woman with golden looked at the sky 

She had an especially slender build and a head full of luminous long, gold-colored hair. Half of it spilled over her shoulders and the rest hung all the way down to her buttocks.

Her golden robes wrapped tightly in her body, showing her exquisite curves.

Even when she's wearing a mask, one can see that she has an extremely beautiful face. Her tender lips are somewhat cold.

"A lightning tribulation of this level?" A golden haired man looked at the sky in awe.

"This can only mean… the person who was undergoing tribulation has the potential to become True God…." He looked at the white lightning with a serious expression.

"Ying'er, we must find this person at all cost." Just like the Eternal Heaven Realm, the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, Qianye Fantian have the same goal.

"Understood, father." Qianye Ying'er bowed, understanding the seriousness of the situation.

This person is bound to change the course of the Primal Chaos. Qianye Ying'er was not sure how to deal with it if she met this person.

But if he's a man, well…

Qianye Ying'er's eyes flashed with a sinister glint.

"Emperor, this lightning…" an old man looked at the black haired man beside him.

The Star God Emperor, Xing Juekong closed his eyes and didn't reply.

No one knows what he's thinking.

The Moon God Realm was the same, they had no response.

"A grand talent has appeared in the Primal Chaos." An extremely handsome man with eyes shining like the sun itself said with a sigh.

"Dragon Monarch, should we…?" One of the Dragon Gods asked.

"No need. This person can only be worth our attention if he survives the tribulation." Unlike the other realms, the Dragon God Realm didn't immediately move and find this person.

That white lightning circulating in the clouds signifies a 9th stage lightning tribulation.

It was said that those who cause the 9th stage lightning tribulation have the potential to be a True God.

The Divine Tribulation Realm is already a nightmare for cultivators, numerous lives are lost in this realm and even if they survive, becoming a cripple is almost a guarantee.

Unless one is supremely talented, Divine Tribulation Realm is something that must be watched out for the most.

Looking at the clouds, Long Bai hopes that whoever triggers it will survive.

Back on Blue Pole Star.

Jiao Heng, who was sitting on the grass near the Purple Veined Divine Crystals suddenly opened his eyes before…

*BOOM*

True Profound Realm….Spirit Profound Realm…Earth Profound Realm… Sky Profound Realm…. Emperor Profound Realm…. Tyrant….. Sovereign Profound Realm…

Divine Origin Realm…. Divine Soul Realm… 

And now, entering the Divine Tribulation Realm.

*CRACK* 

As if the heavens noticed his ascension, the white lightning forming from the clouds turned into purple lightning and descended upon Jiao Heng's undefended figure.

*CRASH* *BOOM* *BANG*

"!!!" Feeling the lightning in his body, Jiao Heng's face remained unmoved 

*BOOM* 

Another lightning.

*BOOM*

and another

*BOOM* 

and another.

After six strikes, Jiao Heng's body was unharmed.

As if the heavens notice this, the purple lighting turned scarlet and descended like a sword from the sky.

*BOOM* *BOOM* 

Red lightning hit his body, penetrating his figure and burning his upper part to his lower face

Despite this, Jiao Heng remained unmoved and his entire body started glowing.

One of the Nine Characters Secrets— People activated.

This secret skill is an unsurpassed sacred healing heart. Able to heal physical and spiritual injuries.

Upon control, injuries can regenerate and upon mastery, one is able to revive themselves from a drop of blood!

Seeing that the lightning didn't work, the heavens shot another scarlet sword shaped lightning but this time, far bigger than before.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Alas, the lightning only serves as help for Jiao Heng to refine his technique.

After a few moments have passed, except for his clothes, his entire body has regenerated, unblemished.

The lightning tribulations stopped before an immense amount of energy covered the sky and from up there, a white lightbulb in the shape of a dragon glaring on Jiao Heng's figure.

This figure sent an uproar across the entire Blue Pile Star, wondering what they do to anger the heavens so much. 

The Eastern Divine Region was also the same, but instead of fear, their expression was that of bewilderment.

"T-This is the final strike.." Zhou Xuzi said with a gulp.

According to legends, the 9th stage tribulations will completely obliterate the cultivator once it hits, not leaving an ash behind.

It's already a miracle that the mysterious cultivator reached this level, one can imagine just how insane his talent is.

Everyone in the Primal Chaos was waiting intently, if this cultivator survives, then this will be a history in the current Realm of the Gods.

If it's not, then they can only complain about heaven's unfairness.

Jiao Heng was also the same, he realized the danger of the dragon lightning in the sky.

*ROAR!* 

A dragon roar resounded in the world and the white lightning descended in the sky, almost covering the entire planet with only a single goal of eliminating the presumptuous brat below him.

Jiao Heng slowly opened his eyes before waving his arms and nine words appear forming a barrier above him.

*BANG* *CRASH* 

The dragon lightning crashed in the barrier, sending a shockwave that felt like the world was being blown away.

Profound practitioners huddled in the corner of their sects, wishing that the punishment would not descend on them.

Jiao Heng looked at the dragon lightning whose mouth was wide open, as if intending to devour him.

Waving his fingers, the nine words emitted a pale white glow absorbing the lightning slowly before forming a string of light and entering his body.

*Woosh!*

Just like that, the clouds in the sky vanished, leaving the desolate land on waste.
