Chapter 107: Trial Of The Heart… Past Events!

Luka stared at the terrifying God Realm demon in front of him. To the demon, he seemed as weak as an ant; the demon could easily crush him with just a breath, but Luka wasn’t afraid. He stared at the demon intently.

His eyes were cold and calculating; at a glance, he could tell the difference in strength between him and the demon, after all, the demon towered over him like a mountain. The mountainous pressure pressed down on him silently.

He felt moving a single step was as difficult as ascending the heavens, but… You killed my parents! He gritted his teeth fiercely. The sword which was clutched tightly in his hand emitted a faint glow as he charged his mana into it. Even though he was just a weak mortal, he had decided today that… he would kill a god!

…

The elders stared at the cold, calculating queen and trembled in fear; after all, they knew how terrifying their queen truly was.

Kathryn asked coldly, “How long until the calamity fully descends?”

The elders trembled for a moment before one of them replied, “Five hundred years, Your Highness.”

Kathryn frowned deeply; at her level of cultivation, five hundred years was merely like a few days of seclusion. Her brows furrowed in deep thought, then as though she had realized something, she said to the elders, “Bring Ordon here.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The elders quickly nodded then rushed to go and get the old man.

A few minutes passed, and they came back with an old man who was shabbily dressed. The man smelled of the aroma of different herbs. His expression was filled with confusion as he was dragged into the palace.

He was just concocting a Nether-Swallowing Pill when the elders barged in, causing his hard work to go up in smoke. After that, he was dragged and brought to the palace. At the thought, he couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

He knew how ruthless this empress was; given more time, she would definitely kill all lives on the Elven Immortal World if it meant advancing her cultivation.

Looking at him deeply, Kathryn said, “Elder, can you concoct an Immortal Talent Devouring Pill?”

The man’s eyes immediately widened in shock; he knew what the Immortal Talent Devouring Pill was! It was a pill that could devour one’s talent at the immortal level and advance their cultivation to the greatest extent in return.

However, once the talent was devoured, it couldn’t be returned; their cultivation was doomed to stagnate. But the benefits of this pill were that one would directly step into at least the God Immortal Realm!

“Your Highness, you don’t mean—” The elders were also shocked; they knew about the Talent Devouring Pills as well. Hearing Kathryn talk about it, they immediately guessed what she wanted to do.

“You all should head to all the mortal worlds and immortal worlds. In four hundred years, enslave everyone and everything with immortal-level talent and above. Bring them here. Meanwhile, Ordon, within this time, I want you and all the other alchemic elders to concoct as many Talent Devouring Pills as you can.”

Everyone was immediately terrified, and they stared at the queen in horror. One of the elders couldn’t help but shout fiercely, “Your Highness! What the hell are you doing? Doing that will only incur the wrath of the Heavenly Dao!!!”

Just as he finished speaking, Kathryn’s pair of cold, indifferent eyes landed on him. The next moment, the space around the man froze and began to collapse… In an instant, the man had fractured into particles of blood. The older elders were filled with fear at the sight.

“Go! If any of you isn’t back within four hundred years, I will come and find you.” Kathryn looked at all of them and uttered. Soon after, all their figures faded.

Meanwhile, after they left, Kathryn glanced at the distant skies and muttered in a low voice… “Wrath of the Heavenly Dao? Heh, if the Heavenly Dao is still alive, would we have faced such a calamity seven times?”

…

Kranos reached a mountain, a place he had frequented many times in succession. Although it was quite stressful, he had finally reached the top of the mountain. Previously, upon realizing that his father loved the mountain, Samuel had built steps to the top to make it easier for Kranos to climb up and spend his time.

Atop the mountain was a firm rock and some trees. Beside the rock was a watering hose and jug. Filling the jug, Kranos started watering the trees. At the same time, his thoughts moved slightly: How fascinating that the lifespan of trees differs so much from ours…

In the blink of an eye, more than a few years had passed since Kranos entered the trial. In these five years, he had spent it bonding with his family and having fun. The memories were extremely pleasant… Kranos sighed; in this time, he also felt he had been comprehending something.

His thought process at certain intervals became faster than normal. At first, it was only for two seconds, then it reached ten, then a minute, and finally, it had reached more than thirty minutes.

At this, Kranos was extremely glad, but a wave of sorrow also hid in his heart. Is this the final blooming of life within the body system before death? he faintly guessed. With a sigh, he stepped into the room.

His facial expression quickly became one of joy as he smiled at his son, who was holding a cake in his hand. Beside him were more than twenty people; they were all Kranos’ family members.

“Father, happy eighty-fifth birthday,” Samuel said with a smile. The others also had joy on their faces. Kranos glanced at them and then nodded gladly. With his walking stick, he slowly stepped forward. Once he reached the cake, he blew on it slightly and made a wish…

I wish… for you all… a happy life…

It turns out, Kranos had already realized the truth!
