Chapter 810: Mandala's Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation
In the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, an enormous ancient Mandala Flower spread its leaves, towering over the landscape. Mysterious dark patterns emerged across its surface, emitting countless beams of ominous light. This was the ancient Mandala Flower's dark radiance, a legendary power said to dissolve any attack with its overwhelming dominance.
At this moment, the Mandala Flower appeared more fearsome than even some ancient beasts. Its dark petals swayed gracefully as it unleashed beams of light that covered the heavens, accompanied by sounds like muffled thunder, distorting the very fabric of space. Amid the spatial distortions, streaks of dark lightning crackled, surging into the massive black flower.
As these celestial phenomena unfolded, Xiao Ze and the Heavenly Emperor stood in the void, their eyes filled with anticipation.
When the ancient Mandala Flower absorbed the final surge of energy, which resembled a river of Supreme Spirit Liquid, the heavenly spectacle slowly subsided. The endless radiance retracted, and the immense flower shrank rapidly to its normal size.
The flower bud quivered before gently blooming. At its center, a small figure lay curled up, her black dress flowing like an extension of her rebirth. Slowly, Mandala opened her eyes. Once golden, her irises were now the deepest shade of darkness, resembling twin black holes that seemed capable of devouring the very soul of anyone who stared too long.
Her transformation was more than just her eyes. The aura surrounding her carried a profound sense of unity with the world itself.
Mandala stepped out of the flower, which shrank into a small black bloom that rested in her palm. She opened her mouth and swallowed it whole, then stretched lazily as though waking from a long, transformative sleep.
"Heavenly Emperor, Xiao Ze, I did it," she said, her dark, profound eyes glimmering with joy.
The Heavenly Emperor smiled warmly, nodding in approval. He then recounted Xiao Ze's earlier suggestion to her. Mandala's expression shifted to surprise.
"Attempting to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm right after my breakthrough? Isn't that too soon?"
"Give it a try," the Heavenly Emperor encouraged with a smile. "If you succeed, the benefits will be immense. Reaching the Heavenly Sovereign level before inheriting One Qi Transforming into Three Purities will enhance its power, giving you two more avatars with Heavenly Sovereign strength."
"Besides, you won't be doing it unprepared," Xiao Ze added, revealing a rare flower skeleton glowing with a celestial light. "This is a remnant of an ancient Heavenly Sovereign Mandala Flower, and I also have access to some unique cultivation sites that can assist you."
He waved his sleeve, and a spiritual realm appeared, its centerpiece a radiant lotus pool shimmering with golden light. Known as the Golden Lotus Spirit Pool, it was home to tens of thousands of golden lotuses that enhanced cultivation for anyone training within.
Mandala gazed at the flower skeleton and the spiritual site before her, determination flickering in her eyes.
"Very well. I'll give it a shot!"
Accepting the flower skeleton from Xiao Ze, she transformed into a streak of light and entered the Golden Lotus Spirit Pool. She seated herself at its heart and began cultivating immediately.
Xiao Ze nodded approvingly. Mandala's attempt wasn't reckless. Her strength was already at the threshold of the Heavenly Sovereign realm, and with the ancient flower skeleton and the spirit pool, her chances were promising.
As Xiao Ze and the Heavenly Emperor waited, the latter remarked, "These cultivation sites seem familiar."
"They're remnants of the Chaos God Emperor's legacy," Xiao Ze explained. "I inherited them from him."
The Heavenly Emperor sighed.
"So, the Chaos God Palace had deeper foundations than the Ancient Heavenly Palace."
The two continued discussing ancient events, including the Chaos God Emperor's fate, which stirred feelings of nostalgia in the Heavenly Emperor.
Mandala's breakthrough was a long process. Recognizing this, Xiao Ze returned to the Origin Realm to manage its affairs. The burgeoning realm, fueled by the resources of the massive Tianluo Continent, was flourishing. Xiao Ze allowed various powers to coexist within the continent as long as they submitted to the Origin Realm's authority, ensuring stability while fostering competition.
The fame of the Origin Realm grew further with the dissemination of Xiao Ze's legendary alchemy skills. Even lower tier pills produced there generated immense wealth and a steady influx of Supreme Spirit Liquid.
Months passed.
Back in the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, Xiao Ze and the Heavenly Emperor stood side by side, observing the sky. Suddenly, thick black clouds gathered ominously, casting a suffocating shadow over the land.
"The Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation!" the Heavenly Emperor exclaimed.
"If she can overcome this, Mandala will ascend to the Heavenly Sovereign realm!"
