The Sky Pavilion outer disciples were charged with the responsibility of gathering all weapons from blacksmiths far and near. It was like there would be a war coming. Many of them didn't know why. Only the ones that had connections from the inner or core disciples were aware that it was gonna be a inter-realm war. At the mountain top, stood the Sky Pavilion's medicine valley. All core disciples were gathered there. They were to be addressed by Menxia and Zeng Zufu.
"Am sure you all are aware of this war we are going into. You all have to be ready. There is no excuse needed. Before the next two months, you all should be in the Crescent Final or peak realm." Menxia stated with a straight face as he saw a lot of grumbling.
The strongest core disciple was in the Crescent Core mid-realm. Here in the Tianzong realm, Crescent Core realm disciples were geniuses while Immortal Soul realm disciples were known as are geniuses. So far, there was no disciple at the Emperor realm. Just Spirit Lords. The Cang realm was a higher realm that had Heavenly realm cultivators. Even the dark Lord of the dark realm was in the Emperor peak realm.
Not everyone was aware of the Divine realm. Only a handful of people had knowledge of the Divine realm, although there was rumors of a Demi-Divinity master in the Tianzong realm, but there were no movement whatsoever from this powerhouse.
Menxia did not know how human measured their strength and it was hard to gauge the strength of Earth's Magnus since they weren't cultivators but ability users. He needed to be ready for anything.
Suddenly there was a dark pressing aura surrounding the Sky Pavilion and a portal opened up. Two bright magic sword had two people in it. It was Wudi and Wugong.
Wudi held his great sword, placed on his shoulders while Wugong had his blades at his back. They sped their swords and stopped at the entrance of the Sky Pavilion.
"What are you doing here Wudi? You and Wugong dare show your faces in my Sky Pavilion? Have you no shame?" An outer class elder who first sighted them walked towards them ranting.
Wudi and Wugong leaped from their swords landing in the Sky Pavilion entrance. The pressure and shockwave from their landing sent the sect elder and some outer disciples who didn't know who they were but wanted to show their might flying.
Suddenly, the flying people stopped mid air and dropped on the ground.
"Wudi.... What are you doing here?"
'They both are already at the peak of the Emperor realm. Fuck it won't be easy if they decide to fight.'
"Hehehe....Menxia. You fuckers from the Sky Pavilion have long diverted from the ways of Habaek. Preparing for a war against the humans? All for what?" Wudi roared at Menxia with rage and killing intent.
"What does it matter to you Wudi?" Zeng Zufu roared back but was sent flying by a sword move of Wugong. No one even saw Wugong move.
"I am heavily disappointed in you guys. Who knew the Sky Pavilion I used to be so proud of would stoop this low. Just for a little more fame and power heh.?" Wugong looked calm but the pressure and killing intent was so heavy that even Wudi had to look back at him."
All the elders jumped landed in by Menxia's side as four Dragons also landed as well. But they did not try attack, especially the Dragons. They knew what had happened when they left to the human realm and crossed Wugong.
"I will advise you to stay clear from the human realm. Because if you do not, I assure you that it's not gonna end well for you bastards. Don't think the humans are so weak that you would just come and occupy their turf in front of them."
Wudi turned around after giving his warning as as he leaped and his sword followed. Wugong first looked around and observed before dashing out with his swords flying behind him. He jumped and landed in his sword as Wudi and him dashed into the portal out if the Sky Pavilion.
"Those darn bastards. You fuckers are so gonna regret dishonoring us. That's a promise I intend to keep." Ao Guan clicked his tongue with rage.
....
Xiao Yan sat on the circle after taking in the core. His abdomen started glowing and buzzing as his eyes turned white. He began levitating as lightning began to fall on him.
At the same time, Wudi and Wugong had come back from their little journey. In time to see a wonderful sight.
The blood of the Dragon that was used to draw a magic circle turned to a big blood puddle and engulfed Xiao Yan, sipping into him as the golden lightning around him turned dark red.
"Blood Thunder...!!" Wugong's eyes opened with shock.
"Wait... that's the rumored blood thunder like THE Blood Thunder? The strongest of all lightning energy?" Wudi wasn't so good with all these things. We was a battle maniac that loved fighting. He didn't care about the little things.
"Out of ten lightning energies done with blood, 2 out 10 begats blood thunder. It is hard to obtain and as well very formidable." Wugong explained
"Isn't that a cheat?. This bastard will be overpowered at this rate."
"But isn't it a good thing? After all, being Habaek's incarnate, he should have a portion of Habaek's soul making his cultivation easier and smoother." Wugong looked at the jealous Wudi who looked at Xiao Yan with disdain. He just chuckled and continued observing Xiao Yan.
As the Blood started sipping in, lightning once again came down. This time, it was a tribulation. Whenever a cultivator wanted to enter the immortal soul realm, there would be a tribulation and Xiao Yan was about advancing. His golden soul body turned blood red with blood thunder sparks around it.
"Blood core....break for me!!" Xioa Yan's golden red core had become a blood core as it broke with energy gushing out. He intended to use the tribulation to strengthen his thunder element and make his blood thunder stronger.
There as a Dragon image on his head which gave out a loud roar as his Ancient Dragon bloodline showed it's first sign of opening. His clothes tore to pieces as black mark designs was seen from his back to his chest. It was like an incomplete drawing which stopped at his stomach. There was a lot of shockwaves as there was a great dent below where he sat.
The tribulation was over as he opened his eyes. It was was like there was a power in his body. His body felt so light and free as blood red sparks could be seen around him.
He walked up to Wudi and Wugong.
"Congrats on your breakthrough boy."
Wudi smiled.
"You had a wonderful breakthrough I gotta say. Congrats." Wugong also smiled broadly.
"May I fight one of you?" Xiao Yan smiled with a face of determination.
