Cross and Dryae appeared in front of the Tree of Life. Lu Mingxuan and Sora appeared and Cross smiled saying "So many people?" Saya, Helios, Valrun, Lyndis, Dain, Wyn, Galaeron, Falernas, and Goren appeared in the air.
They grinned and said "The tiger's climbing down the mountain for a while, the monkeys are King now." Cross sighed with a smile saying "There goes Law and Order." the group laughed and Cross said "Alright, let's get this over with."
Lu Mingxuan kissed him and said "I'm gonna miss you." Cross grinned and said "Relax, I'll be back before I know it." the group chuckled but quickly fell silent, Cross rubbed his nose with the sheath and said "Make sure everyone stays sharp. I don't want to have to train you all again."
Valrun said seriously "Until you come back, we won't stop our shifts." Cross waved his sword arm saying "So dramatic. Just make sure everybody amends to the rules." as he hopped over to the Tree trunk.
Dryae pressed her palm on the Trunk and it split open, Cross looked back and said "When I come back..." a sharp light flashed in his eyes as he said "It'll be time to kill." everyone's blood started boiling and Cross drilled into the Tree of Life.
He was immediately submerged in Golden Crystalline Liquid that was as thick as jelly. Dryae closed the Tree and they all left.
Cross devoured the Jelly and his body exploded. His soul appeared with a gold and black Taichi symbol, then a black skeleton with golden dragons and red flowers on it slowly reformed. God Slayer melted into his left arm and the black bracelet melted into his right arm.
Aurora was also a Peak Immortal Weapon now. (Just btw)
Cross' right arm bones had Jiu Li First Gen. forging runes on them, and his left arm had the Jiu Li First Gen. Characters for 'Destroy the Heavens, Slaughter the Gods' on them. Both arms' bones have the Rune for 'Heaven Rending' swimming in and along the bones, passing over and under the other Runes and Characters.
In addition to this, the left arm's bones had the Wood grain of the Tree of Life pattern on them and the right arm had a bright glow to them with a crystal-like look.
In the middle of his ribcage a glowing light floated, this was the Inner World.
Where his abdomen was a Gold and Black Taichi symbol spun into a black and gold crystal with power patterns for the Gold and Black dots. Red blood with black and gold streaks, intertwining together in a spiral pattern, appeared.
His flesh started forming on his bones, forming his organs, acupoints, and meridians that were countless times thicker and wider than before. Black Qi started circulating around his body as he flesh covered his entire body.
A black dot appeared on his back, before spinning into a ring, then shooting out 8 lines, wrapping over his shoulders and under his ribcage, pointing to the center of his chest. The black and Black Taichi pattern appeared on his back and spun endlessly, unlikely to ever stop, but surprisingly never brought any pain.
Two black rings appeared just above his ankles, but they changed into a black thorn vine with golden leaves and blood red roses. On his right arm, the Jiu Li First Gen. Forging runes appeared, covering his entire right arm in black and gold ones. The runes seemed to be alive and breathing, it was very strange.
On his left arm, the Jiu Li First Gen. Characters for 'Destroy the Heavens, Slaughter the Gods' appeared on his inner forearm. The phrase was repeated over and over, tightly packed into the shape of God Slayer, it even had the same colors.
A bundle of string appeared and sank into his head, his hair grew and spread out all over the place. It was black, soft as silk, and shiny. It grew outrageously long before shortening, getting stronger and stronger, until it finally went to the length Cross usually cut it at. It even tied itself up in a messy bun, really cute like.
Around his neck, Aurora greedily absorbed the Jelly, getting brighter and brighter before each bead shined like a diamond and the runes were densely packed, swimming around without a care in the world. On Cross' neck there was another black thorn vine with golden leaves and blood red roses, but on this one, inside each rose was a Jiu Li First Gen. Rune.
Fire, Water, Wood, Earth, Metal, Space, Time, Life, Death, Lightning, Wind, and Ice.
The 5 Elements, 4 Absolutes, and 3 Spirits.
On his face, the golden markings carved themselves in, blooming small completely gold flowers. They ran on his cheeks and over his eyes. His ears twitched together, he opened his eyes and the right eye was pitch black, while the left was completely gold.
Two red dots spun in the middle of his eyes and covered his entire eyeball before condensing and leaving behind rings before forming his pupils.
In his right iris, a gold swirl spun, making the iris completely gold before flashing and planting 3 golden 9-pointed stars on each red ring.
In his left iris, a black swirl spun, making the iris completely black before flashing and planting 3 black 9-pointed stars on each red ring.
Suddenly!
His void battle body opened, but it was slightly different at the moment, first of all, he still had 6 arms. Secondly, his horns had more colored rings at the base, but also the right horn had a gold crown spinning slowly around it while the right one had a black crown hanging around it.
Cross' aura and breath climbed rapidly from Cripple to Divine Flame.
Boom. 81 massive flames, 40 black, 40 gold, 1 black and gold flame.
4 Extremes Realm
Boom. Every single rune imaginable, millions, billion, trillions, countless amount of them. Countless runes, into the Jiu Li First Gen. 'Heaven Rending' rune and multiplying endlessly.
Divine Lord Realm
Boom. 'Heaven Rending' runes, coming together in groups, becoming bigger groups, then forming Rune ropes covered in 'Heaven Rending' runes, made up of countless other runes.
Immortal King
Boom. Countless rune ropes coil around his bones, blood, meridians, muscles, organs, flesh, and root. His Bones, Blood, and Root, lit up and connected together, all becoming Crystalline and thick, his blood became as thick as jelly and carried endless power. His bones were denser, his Crystal root was harder and his blood was thicker.
World King
BOOM! A Supreme King Aura erupted from his body and the World outside changed completely. The Tree of Life started giving off a suffocating aura. The Inner World light in Cross' body shot out white chains to his palms, feet, and head. The pressure multiplied by 10x and the Tree of Life was deemed a forbidden area.
Hierarch
BOOOOOOOM! The entire Spirit World changed Color, three giant flowers appeared in the sky, a giant black Chrysanthemum with 999 petals, a giant golden Lotus with 81 petals, and a blood red rose with 9 petals.
Dryae looked up and her face became excited, the rest of the Spirit Race looked up at the phenomena.
Suddenly, black thunder clouds rolled in.
The flowers spun in the air, merging into a single flower with 999,999,999 petals, blooming with 3 evenly distributed colors. 333,333,333 of the petals in the middle were blood red, 333,333,333 of the petals surrounding the red were bright gold, and the final 333,333,333 petals on the outer edge, surrounding the gold petals were black.
The thunder rumbled and the flower spun as an otherworldly roar sounded through the world, shattering the thunderclouds and dying the world in a tri-color splendor.
A black crown and a gold crown flew into the air and grew, nestling in their respective colors. The giant flower devoured the Crowns and started changing, shrinking into something new. This process sounded like it took a second but it was actually spinning in the air, enriching the world for years.
Eventually, the flower shrank down and sank into the Tree of Life, startling the Spirit Race. Some of the people complained and they were instantly drowned out and beaten by the Heaven Rending Legion warriors, who knew exactly what was going on.
They wouldn't tolerate anyone bad mouthing their Boss/King. A bunch of hoodlums, one of them even took candy from a baby! Though that baby really didn't have any business eating candies.
Heavenly God
The entire world went silent, the Tree of Life lit up with a 9 colored radiance.
The entire Immortal World had a long tear appear across the 9 Heavens and 10 Hells, endless auspicious aura appeared.
In the Exquisite World
The Moon lit up brightly, everyone looked up and half the moon turned black. In the middle of the moon a red circle appeared. The 'eye' looked down and had a teasing look when it looked at Long Chen, everybody suddenly became ecstatic. Long Chen grinned and released his own aura.
The Sun in the sky now had 8 colors, the Moon looked at the Sun before looking up at the sky. It glowed and the Phenomena in the Immortal World disappeared completely.
A huge tear appeared in the sky in the Exquisite Realm and endless Auspicious aura and 9 colored lights rained down on everyone. The 'Eye' looked at Luna, Jasmine, Feng Xue'er, Feng Fei, Jie Yuan, Ying'er, Elise, Luo Ning, Die Wu, Yuanyuan, Pandora, Zephyr, Amelia, Lily, Artemis, and Hong'er with endless yearning and love.
The 'Eye' glowed and the stars in the skies came together to write a message, before the 'Eye' disappeared. The message said
'Endless sadness, day and night.
Wishing I could just hold you tight.
For me, it's been hundreds of years.
All just to wipe away your tears.
I will suffer the unimaginable pain,
just to see you again.
-Cross Ziran'
Luna broke down in tears, whether it was sadness or joy. Nobody could say for sure.
Guo Ran was stunned and said "Fuck me! Father-in-law, knows how to pick up women!" Lily punched him in the head and pointed at Cross' wives, who were looking at him. Guo Ran said quickly "Haha, mothers-in-law, relax. Only, you, of course... Haha..." before jumping in a boat and shooting across the sky.
Meng Qi leaned on a door frame and looked up at the sky before saying "Too similar, they're like the same person..." Tang Wan'er was eating an apple as she said "Except that guy is much more frivolous. I'm willing to bet he brings back 1... No no 2 more women!"
Bai Shishi was meditating on the side, with the golden sword on her lap as he said "I have 100 World King Crystals, it's more than 3." Tang Wan'er laughed and said "Deal!" Luna walked in and they quieted down, she smiled and said "100 crystals he brings back one more."
Tang Wan'er giggled and said "Sister Luna is the best! Hahahaha!" Luna shook her head and sat down before saying "Huh." Meng Qi said "Hm?" Luna said "Doesn't auspicious aura only fall across the entire Immortal Realm, when someone reaches Heavenly God?"
The girls suddenly froze and Tang Wan'er ran out the door shouting "Fucking bastard! Long Chen! Cross became a Heavenly God! Hurry the fuck up!" Long Chen jumped in shock.
Luna smiled "He also left a last name~" giggling with happiness. Meng Qi smiled and said teasingly "Congratulations, Mrs. Ziran." Luna giggled and said "Thank you, Mrs. Long." Meng Qi giggled.
Back at the Tree of Life
It was still radiating 9-colored radiance and washing over all the Spirit Race, speeding up their cultivations and giving them enlightenment. It lasted for years. Valrun raised a glass to the sky and laughed happily "Brahma? Get ready to eat shit in Hell! hahahaha" as he drained the glass in one go.
The Tree started shaking intensely
The 9-colored radiance suddenly changed and everyone's eyes widened. Dryae shook with excitement and cheered, jumping up and down.
SUPREME GOD
The entire Immortal Realm started shaking and all the tribulation clouds dispersed on their own, across every realm, world, and region.
A heaven shaking 'Boom' echoed across the entire 9 Heavens and 10 Hells. Everybody looked up in fear and saw a scene they would never forget. Blood red letters appeared in the sky 'Death to Doggy Brahma and his gay lover Sky Falling Puppy'
The old man who swept the ground at Lingxiao Academy looked up and his eyes fluctuated with shock. It had been a few months since the auspicious light rained down on the World. The entire Immortal World was engulfed in the flames of war.
Long Chen had already become a Heavenly God long ago and his status as a Nine Star Descendant was revealed by Brahma himself. He was at the center of a massive storm, but the words cut right through the storm and frightened everyone.
Long Chen got a break from the endless pursuit and closed up, preparing for the real war. He was taking it right to Brahma himself!
In the Isolated Spirit realm.
Cross appeared outside the Tree, his eyes flooded with Jiu Li First Gen. Characters, swimming in the blacks and Golds of his eyes. He seemed to be there but at the same time, not. He floated down to the Royal Capital and touched down on the ground.
He was completely nude.
Dryae appeared and tackled him, wrapping her arms around his neck and spinning around him saying joyfully "Hubby~" Cross smiled and said "How long was it?" Dryae replied curtly "Since you've gone into the Tree, 887 years 34 days!"
Cross said "Oh? So short?" Dryae latched to his body like a koala and hummed "Yep, my Hubby is naturally the best~!" Cross held Dryae with 1 arm as he flashed and was immediately clothed. He wore his usual Kimono and shorts but he had wooden rings around his ankles and was barefoot.
He looked at the plaza and smiled saying "Has anything changed, love?" Dryae shook her head and smiled sweetly saying "Not much! Anyone who goes against the Laws was dealt with by me~" Cross kissed her and smiled "Thank you." Dryae rest her head on his shoulder and said happily "Anything for you."
Cross pursed his lips and said to the sky "Heaven Rending Legion, your duties have been completed. You have a month to rest before reporting to the Royal Capital." his voice traveled through the air and Valrun grinned as he held his sword in the air on the battlefield shouting "Brothers! Boss is back! Tonight we drink with the King!"
The Warriors in the Slaughter Corps, roared to the sky and charged at the Dark Beasts, slaughtering them all, quickly. The most amazing thing was, each of these Dark beasts was at the Heavenly God Realm!
Cross waved his hand and a black, gold, and red lotus floated into the crack on the seal. The entire seal fizzled out of existence and an extremely loud 'BANG' was heard just before it disappeared. The Heaven Rending Legion quickly packed up their things and rushed back to the Royal Capital.
