108: Chapter 108 Lord of Heavenly Punishment

The Wang family fled, scrambling and crawling away.

The Southern Heaven Gate area finally quieted down.

Li Xuan made his move.

He wanted to build a real home for his family here in the Immortal Realm.

The zhou tian star boat hovered behind the Southern Heaven Gate; its massive hull connected with the aura of the ancient divine gate, merging into one.

It was the eye of the array.

Li Xuan integrated the Zhou Tian Star Array he had created into this entire ruin.

He raised his hand, and a few strands of starlight fell from the dim stars in the sky, connecting the broken nodes of the earthly veins on the ground.

If those in the Immortal Realm who knew their craft saw this, they would likely be shocked.

The Immortal Realm was shattered, the Heavenly Dao had collapsed, and the celestial phenomena were long in disarray; drawing upon the power of the stars to set up an array was simply a pipe dream.

Yet, Li Xuan had actually done it.

He used his own Chaos Dao as a bridge to forcibly establish a connection with the real starry sky.

The children became the happiest supervisors.

His third son, Li Daoyan, was naturally sensitive to the flow of Spiritual Qi in the earthly veins.

He ran quickly on his short legs, pointing here and there among the ruins.

"Daddy, the earthly veins here are broken!"

"Over there, there's a hole over there, the Spiritual Qi is leaking out from there!"

Wherever he pointed, Li Xuan would repair it with great magical power.

The dormant land began to see Immortal Qi emerging once again.

His fourth son, Li Yuanbao's God of Wealth Destiny was even more bizarre.

Carrying a small shovel, he started digging furiously at a leak point that Li Daoyan had pointed out.

Clang.

He dug up something hard, his little face turning red.

"Daddy, I found treasure! It's a big one!"

Li Xuan swept his Divine Thought over it and was amused.

That wasn't any treasure; it was the head of a severed Dragon of an Immortal Vein.

Although damaged, its quality was very high; it had once been at least a High Grade Immortal Vein, and now it had been dug out by Li Yuanbao with a single shovel.

"Good boy, that really is your 'billion' points of luck!"

Li Xuan laughed as he pulled out the entire Immortal Vein dragon head and drove it back into the ground to serve as the energy core for the base.

Instantly, a surge of Immortal Qi, ten times more concentrated than before, gushed out.

White mist shrouded the entire Southern Heaven Gate.

The second princess, Li Qingyue, watched happily and danced along in the Immortal mist.

Wisps of Lunar Power were drawn in, mixing with the Immortal Qi, and condensed into a clear spring in mid-air.

The spring water tinkled as it fell into a depression, forming a small Immortal pool.

A miniature palace complex, modeled after the Ancient Heavenly Court, rose from the ground.

It integrated the Zhou Tian Star Array; the immortal palaces were majestic, starlight flowed through them, and it formed a world of its own.

Li Xuan named it.

Little Heavenly Court.

This would be the starting point for his Li family to gain a foothold in the Immortal Realm.

On the very day the Little Heavenly Court was completed, a strong life fluctuation came from within a palace wrapped in immortal light.

That concubine with the Alchemy Spirit Holy Body was about to give birth.

After arriving in the Immortal Realm, the concentration of Immortal Qi here was far beyond what the Mortal Realm could compare to.

The fetus in the concubine's womb was rapidly absorbing the surrounding Immortal Qi.

Fortunately, the Alchemy Spirit Holy Body was itself a Pill Furnace, capable of refining massive amounts of Origin Qi into life energy.

The auras of the mother and child gradually balanced out.

Boom!

The Little Heavenly Court was completely built, and the energy of the underground Immortal Vein was fully ignited.

The entire palace complex was shrouded in dense Immortal liquid mist.

The children playing in the back garden also stopped.

Li Changsheng curiously took a breath of Immortal Qi and felt the Sword Intent within him jump.

"Wow, so much yummy stuff!"

Li Yuanbao opened his mouth and swallowed greedily.

Suddenly, the color of the sky changed.

The originally gray sky suddenly darkened.

The surroundings were silent, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

Clusters of deep purple tribulation clouds squeezed out from the void and rapidly gathered directly above the Little Heavenly Court.

There was no violence of thunder in these tribulation clouds, but they exuded silence and majesty.

"Heavenly Punishment?"

Li Xuan looked up abruptly.

Heavenly Tribulation is a test.

Heavenly Punishment is eradication.

He didn't understand; he was just tidying up the earthly veins, which was clearly a good thing, so why would it summon Heavenly Punishment?

Crack!

A purple divine thunder, as thick as an arm, silently tore through the sky and headed straight for the palace where the birth was taking place.

This divine thunder ignored the protection of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

It was part of the Law itself, piercing through everything.

"Not good!"

Li Xuan was about to make a move.

Inside the palace, a loud cry of a baby rang out.

"Waa—"

This cry was full of vitality.

That purple divine thunder, which even a True Immortal would fear, stopped three feet above the palace roof.

Then, unexpectedly, the divine thunder changed direction, turned into a soft purple light, and slowly drilled into the palace.

It didn't seem to be here to kill.

It was here to deliver a gift.

This wasn't the end.

The purple tribulation clouds in the sky not only didn't disperse, but gathered even more.

One Heavenly Punishment divine thunder after another struck down.

Each one was thicker than the last.

But no matter how terrifying the divine thunder was, the outcome was the same as the first one.

After approaching the palace, without exception, they became docile, obediently turning into the purest Origin energy and being absorbed by the newborn inside the palace.

In the distance, some old monsters who were spying on this place with secret techniques were stunned.

"Holy crap! That's the power of Heavenly Punishment, right? Am I seeing this right?"

"What's the situation? Eating Heavenly Punishment divine thunder as a meal? What kind of brat is this fierce?"

"What kind of monster has come to that Southern Heaven Gate place? First they repaired the divine gate, then a Golden Immortal came to guard the door, and now they've produced a child that swallows thunder. I'm out of here, I'm out of here!"

Li Xuan was also completely dumbfounded.

He looked at the endless purple thunder in the sky, then felt the increasingly strong life aura inside the palace, and thought.

This generation of children really knows how to play.

A mechanical notification sound rang in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on the birth of your seventh child! It has been detected that this child possesses the Innate "Heavenly Punishment Holy Body," which is the aptitude of a Great Emperor. Born with the ability to draw upon and wield the power of Heavenly Punishment, to judge on behalf of Heaven!]

[Because the host has given birth to a rare Heaven-Defying Physique, the Bloodline Power has provided feedback, and the host is hereby rewarded!]

[Reward 1: The host's Great Emperor cultivation has been completely consolidated, the Foundation is stable, and the Physical Body strength has been greatly enhanced, comparable to a Golden Immortal Undying Body!]

[Reward 2: The host has obtained an Immortal King-level Divine Ability — "spear of judgment"!]

Boom!

A surge of power gushed out from the depths of his Bloodline, spreading throughout his entire body.

The slight instability caused by him forcibly driving his Great Emperor cultivation was instantly smoothed out.

His Physical Body was glowing, his power was vigorous, and its sturdiness was several times stronger than before.

Furthermore, a profound stream of information regarding the "spear of judgment" appeared directly in his mind.

This was a purely offensive Divine Ability that ignored most Laws and defenses, condensing the power of order to carry out a final judgment on the target.

It was practically tailor-made for his newborn seventh son.

Rumble!

After the tribulation clouds in the sky sent down the last purple divine thunder, which was as thick as a water vat, they finally dispersed.

Inside the palace, all strange phenomena receded.

A midwife walked out happily, carrying a swaddled infant.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty. The Empress has successfully given birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe!"

Li Xuan snapped out of his daze and stepped forward to take his seventh child.

The infant in the swaddle had smooth skin, without the wrinkles of a normal newborn.

He opened his eyes, and lightning flickered within his purple pupils.

The baby didn't cry or fuss; upon seeing Li Xuan, he grinned with his toothless little mouth.

"Yi ya."

Then, he let out a hiccup.

A purple mist with the scent of lightning drifted slowly out of his mouth.
