302: Fifth level of Divine Venerable Realm

Zhao Yunshu said, "I have been cultivating Magic Arrays for many years, precisely for the day I could deal with them. The strongest in the Shangguan Family is only at the Third Stage of the God King Realm. Trapping them for a quarter of an hour is no problem at all. But are you truly confident you can kill them?"

Shi Feng also expressed concern, saying, "Ye Zai! The God King Realm is no joke. Are you really sure you can handle them? If we can't, our lives are going to be cut short prematurely."

"Don't worry! I wouldn't joke with so many lives. For this, I must thank Mr. Zhao for those two million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Otherwise, my Cultivation Technique wouldn't have been able to Breakthrough."

Zhao Yunshu said, "Good! I believe in you. From the moment I saw the methods you displayed on your first day here, I recognized your extraordinariness. I thought I would have to wait for many more years; I never expected my day of vengeance to come so quickly."

Jiang Ye said, "It's also thanks to Mr. Zhao's keen insight. Without the two million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones you gave me, I wouldn't dare claim I could deal with a God King Realm expert. There's no time to waste. Now that I've torn up all pretense with the Shangguan Family, I must capture those Old Ancestors as soon as possible and have them help me break through my Realm!"

"Let's go!" Zhao Yunshu immediately led the three of them towards the Shangguan Family's Forbidden Ground.

Shangguan Family Forbidden Ground

Zhao Yunshu said, "The two to the south and north are at the Second Stage of the God King Realm. The one in the middle is at the Third Stage of the God King Realm. Which one should we deal with first?"

Jiang Ye said, "The middle one! I want to see how many Realms his Divine Origin can help me advance."

"Good! Follow behind me. I'll first release the prepared Magic Array to trap him."

Whoosh! Whoosh!!! The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly closed in on the Shangguan Family's Old Ancestor at the Third Stage of the God King Realm.

Soon, they arrived near a courtyard with extremely dense Spiritual Qi. It wasn't until they were only two hundred meters away from the courtyard that the Shangguan Family's Old Ancestor appeared.

"Impressive skill! You were almost upon me before I sensed your presence. Hmm? Aren't you Shangguan Jinglong's live-in son-in-law?" He recognized Zhao Yunshu.

Zhao Yunshu didn't answer him. Instead, he directly released a pre-prepared Magic Array. A circular array nearly fifty meters long instantly formed, trapping the Shangguan Family's Old Ancestor at its center.

"God Devouring Origin Swallowing!"

Fearing a change in circumstances, Jiang Ye struck the moment the array formed, unleashing the Seventh Level of the World-Defying God Slaying Art - God Devouring Origin Swallowing!

The Shangguan Family's Old Ancestor was instantly horrified. An unknown, powerful suction force was continuously pulling his Divine Origin outwards.

"What's happening? Who are you?"

Zhao Yunshu said furiously, "The sins committed by your descendants will be repaid to me starting with you today!"

"Ah... my God King Origin power... what Cultivation Technique is this... ah..."

One hour later

The Shangguan Family's Old Ancestor lay on the ground, completely devoid of Divine Power, no different from someone without any cultivation.

Jiang Ye said, "Mr. Zhao! Lend me a hand. Isolate this area so I can refine his Origin power."

"Refine it with peace of mind. No one will know what happened here."

Jiang Ye sat down cross-legged on the spot and began refining the Origin power he had just absorbed.

Upon breaking through to the Ninth Stage of the God Tribulation Realm and undergoing the ninth Heavenly Tribulation baptism, one begins to generate a Divine Origin. When one's own Divine Origin reaches a certain intensity, one can then summon heavenly thunder for a tenth baptism, breaking through the tribulation to become a King, and advancing to the God King Realm! One's own Divine Origin also becomes more than ten times stronger. Now that the Shangguan Family's Old Ancestor had his Divine Origin completely drained by Jiang Ye, he was essentially crippled for good!

Six hours later

Jiang Ye's aura began to surge violently, BOOM!!!

God Venerable Realm First Stage, God Venerable Realm Second Stage, God Venerable Realm Third Stage!!!

"Whew!!!" Jiang Ye let out a long breath, "Holy shit! The entire Origin of a Third Stage God King only helped me break through three minor Realms. How am I supposed to manage the Breakthroughs after this? There are still two at the Second Stage. Let's see if they can help me break through a few more Realms."

Soon, the two of them repeated the same tactic, striking twice more and capturing the Shangguan Family's final two God King Realm experts. Jiang Ye continued sitting cross-legged on the spot, refining the Divine Origin and beginning to Breakthrough his Realm.

The next day

The members of the Shangguan Family searched the entire clan for Jiang Ye and the others but couldn't find them, slowly beginning to believe they had already left the Shangguan Family. Meanwhile, in a Cultivation chamber, Zhao Yunshu appeared before his son, Zhao Xuanyi.

Zhao Xuanyi's face showed displeasure as he said, "You good-for-nothing! How did you get in here... ugh..."

Zhao Yunshu directly grabbed his throat with one hand, lifting him up, and said, "Twenty-four years! You've lived long enough. My poor child lost his father's company at the tender age of three. Your Shangguan Family has imprisoned me for twenty-four years to this day. It's time to repay this debt!"

"Ugh... how did your strength suddenly... you're not a good-for-nothing, you've been pretending all along... I'm your son..."

"Shut up!! You are not my son. You are the bastard child of Shangguan Qian and Shangguan Mo! Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. I'll make you die in front of those two beasts, so they can feel the pain of having their flesh and blood torn from them!"

"What are you saying? Impossible! You're lying..."

"Heh, if you were my son, why would I have treated you this way all these years? Haven't you noticed how exceptionally well your real father treats you? Hahaha!!! Soon you'll die in front of him. Before you die, I'll have done a good deed, allowing you and your father to truly reunite!"

"No! Impossible, I'm not a bastard, impossible... ah... you... you crippled my cultivation!"

Zhao Yunshu directly shattered his Dantian. Divine Power continuously drained away, and his Realm began to plummet straight down! Casually setting up a Restriction Magic Array to trap him there, Zhao Yunshu turned and left.

Twenty-four years ago, the Zhao Family was weak, but Zhao Yunshu's free-spirited and untrammeled demeanor caught the eye of Shangguan Qian. She captured him and brought him back to the Shangguan Family, threatening that if he dared resist, she would annihilate his Zhao Family. Left with no choice, he had to part from his Family. His son was already three years old at the time, suddenly losing his father. Zhao Yunshu didn't dare imagine how heartbroken his son must have cried. Zhao Yunshu's hatred for the Shangguan Family was beyond words!

He had been wholeheartedly researching Magic Arrays, waiting for the day he could gather momentum and wipe out the Shangguan Family in one fell swoop. It wasn't until the day he witnessed the power Jiang Ye wielded that he saw hope for earlier revenge. He secretly told Jiang Ye about his ordeal, hoping to borrow Jiang Ye's strange power to help him complete a Magic Array capable of restraining a God King Realm expert.

Coincidentally, Jiang Ye's Seventh Level of the World-Defying God Slaying Art had just crossed the threshold. All he needed was enough Spirit Stones to temper his God Slaying Bloodline one more time to be able to simply perform God Devouring Origin Swallowing. Without a word, Zhao Yunshu found him two million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, finally allowing him to complete one tempering of the God Slaying Bloodline.

Shangguan Family Forbidden Ground

Having refined all the Divine Origin, Jiang Ye cursed in extreme dissatisfaction, "Are these two God Kings fucking fake? The Divine Origin from two Second Stage God Kings only helped me break through to the Fifth Stage of the God Venerable Realm. Damn it!! What a bullshit Ancient Clan. I'll have to go to those major powers instead."

Just as Jiang Ye was about to go find Zhao Yunshu and the others, Zhu Renzhou sent a distress signal. Jiang Ye frowned, directly summoned the sha long spear, stabbed a hole through the Shangguan Family's Protective Clan Magic Array, tore through space, and left.
