Martial God Storm

  "Ai Lin Da Shi! Where is Tang Yan?" Tang Ying hastily rushed to the outer circle of the altar, and Tang Qiang and Wei Hongchen also arrived one after another upon receiving the news.

  "Eileen comforted: 'Don't worry, he's already gone in, it's almost starting now.'"

  "Is it really him? Has he gone in? Baptism?" Tang Ying asked three consecutive questions in surprise, somewhat disbelieving. In the dense forest, Tang Yan was only a second-class martial artist, and now, after just over ten days of not seeing each other, he had already reached the qualification for baptism?

  "I'm not sure what's going on either, but he condensed his spiritual energy into a fire knife, which is something only a martial artist at the pinnacle can do."

  "What you see is just a beggar, are you sure it's the young master of my house?" Tang Qiang was as cold as ice, his face full of scars looked somewhat ferocious.

  Aileen nodded and said: "He's much darker and thinner now, but it should be Tang Yan."

  Tang Ying lowered her voice and said, "Uncle Tang Qiang, I've told you before, but you still don't believe me. Tang Yan can already condense his spiritual energy, and in the forest, he was a second-grade martial artist."

  Tang Qiong's sword-like eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he remained silent. Second-class martial artist? How is that possible! From ten years ago, he had been entrusted to protect this young master of the Tang family, and had almost watched him grow up. What kind of temperament did this kid have, and what had he done, he knew better than anyone else. Over the years, except for seeing him put in extra effort on women's bellies, he had never seen him put in a single bit of effort into martial arts.

  For a young master who had given up on himself, Tang Qiang had long since lost hope and only wished for him to live a stable life. But now, Tang Yan had inexplicably become a martial artist, even a third-rank martial artist - was there something wrong with this?

  "Are you certain that's Tang Yan?" Tang Qiang asked Tang Ying for the fourth time since he found out Tang Yan was a martial artist, this time with the most doubt.

  "He seems like a different person, weird and crazy training, but he should be Tang Yan, I can be sure."

  "That little kid has a birthmark on his butt, did you see it?"

  Tang Yingqi's feet stomped: "Uncle Tang Qiang!! How can I see this?!"

  Tang Qiong felt slightly embarrassed, coughed a few times, and quickly regained his composure: "Let's wait a bit longer, hopefully there won't be any more unexpected events. The old man values this kid more than his own life."

  The Life Spring Pool, after being still for over a dozen minutes, finally underwent a change. The spring water began to churn up waves, transforming into long, thin water snakes that wound their way towards Tang Yan and Yang Ruyan. The water snakes grew more numerous, denser, and smaller, and in an instant, the originally tranquil Life Spring Pool seemed to have transformed into a snake den teeming with billions of water snakes.

  Densely packed, enough to make anyone who sees it tremble with fear.

  Tang Yan and Yang Ruyan were quietly submerged in the sea of consciousness, ignoring the external scene, only feeling a thread of coolness wrapping around their skin, getting denser and cooler, covering the entire body in an instant. It was as if something was seeping into the muscles and blood vessels through the pores, some even squeezing into the mouth and flowing towards the chest and abdomen.

  It has begun!! Tang Yan no longer hesitated, and the Undying Heaven Technique was fully activated, accelerating the vortex of all acupoints to form a suction force that drew out the spiritual energy of the meridians, causing it to flow rapidly.

  The life spring water that invaded the body quickly filled the inside and outside, under Tang Yan's efforts to guide and refine it. The spiritual power contained within began to seep into the meridians, but they seemed to possess some kind of strange energy, uncontrollably differentiating into thousands, penetrating into the blood, as if stimulating something, yet also as if searching for something.

  As the Undying Heavenly Scripture revolves, the essence of life in the Fountain of Life separates and surges towards the Dan Tian Qi Hai.

  At this moment, the air sea is surging ceaselessly, and the thin 'life mist' on top is very active, accelerating the absorption of the incoming life essence.

  Tang Yan's eyes were closed, his spirit calm and his energy tranquil. He was quietly refining his cultivation, but this comfort and tranquility only lasted for ten breaths. Under the stimulation of the strange power, a sharp purple glow suddenly burst out from the depths of the vortex of his body's acupoints, causing the vortex to erupt violently, wildly tearing at his spiritual veins and the infiltrating spring water.

  In an instant, the spiritual energy of the meridians was completely disrupted.

  Ah!! Tang Yan let out a blood-curdling scream, his eyes suddenly snapping open. His skin was covered in fine cracks, like the surface of a tortoise shell, and bright red blood flowed out, dyeing the holy water in the baptismal font crimson.

  The cyclone's riot became more and more fierce, the surging air was even more wild, the dense 'water snakes' in the surrounding springs seemed to be attracted, and they converged on Tang Yan's body like crazy.

  Tang Yan gritted his teeth and persisted, controlling his mind to prevent it from going into chaos. He operated the Undying Heaven's Technique with all his might, controlling the violently surging meridians. However, the impact of the Life Spring Water was extremely powerful, causing his spiritual energy to wreak havoc in his meridians and acupoints. His life essence was also impacted at the Qi Sea, causing the thin mist to thicken and start expanding continuously.

  Yang Ruyan was also affected, the impact of the spring water was extremely violent, completely different from the 'gentle' explanation by her family, but the surging spiritual power contained within made her ecstatic, stabilizing her mind with great effort, and guiding and refining it.

  In the depths of the life spring, a faintly pure life essence began to spread from the deepest fissures, and with its emergence, the ground produced a slight tremor, emitting a low rumble.

  "The earth's spiritual pulse has become abnormal."

  "They are the essence of the earth's spiritual veins! They are converging on the Fountain of Life!"

  "The essence of life in the Fountain of Life has become extremely diluted, is this really the inevitable reversal? The terrestrial spiritual veins have finally begun to converge on the pool, gathering the essence of life."

  "Is there still a child inside for baptism? This is a heaven-sent opportunity."

  Deep within the altar, three white-haired old men slowly opened their eyes, their weathered pupils seeming to pierce through everything, or gazing into the depths of the earth's core, or staring at the Fountain of Life.

  Tang Yan's entire body was like shattering, his bones, muscles, meridians, and blood vessels were all in extreme pain, especially the internal part of his dantian. Not only did his 'life mist' start to become disordered, but even his cyan-colored energy sea began frantically absorbing the energy surging into it from the life spring.

  After an unknown period of time, the entire divine consciousness shook violently, and a blue flame suddenly spread throughout his body, jumping happily in the spring pool.

  In the depths of the cave, amidst the mist, in the depths of the spring pool, Tang Yan seemed to be a burning blue flame, more like a crystal, the blue flame was not violent, nor scorching hot, lush and vibrant, with an extraordinary brilliance that dazzled the eyes.

  The emergence of the blue flame made the spring pool slightly quieter, but soon a huge vortex formed at the bottom, with dense and pure spiritual energy and life essence surging up, impacting Tang Yan's nearly bursting body, as well as the jumping blue flames.

  As they surged in strongly, a crimson infant slowly opened its eyes in the depths of the dantian's murky chaos. A violent and evil aura burst out from within its eyes, and as it opened its mouth to inhale, the surging life essence rushed towards it. But at that very moment, a golden glyph appeared on its forehead, rapidly spreading dense golden patterns that seemed like chains, controlling it!

  Ahhh!!! The Blood Infant let out a piercing shriek, struggling frantically, the golden thread's radiance grew even more dazzling, beginning to ruthlessly scorch the Blood Infant, a burst of bloody mist appeared at the sticky chain.

  Blood and gas evil, golden light majestic!

  Tang Yan's eyes snapped open, and the two strands of energy from his dantian collided deeply, shaking him profoundly. The evil energy made him feel a chill to the bone, while the majestic energy steadied his mind.

  As the two auras collided, Tang Yan's body was once again engulfed in a surge of cyan flames, and the golden runes on his forehead clearly appeared, forming a golden chain-like pattern that rapidly spread throughout his body.

  "Roar!!" Amidst the faintness, a gigantic dark shadow in a black coffin and dazzling golden light reappeared in the depths of his mind.

  "Hmm? Where did this evil aura come from!" The three old men in the depths of the altar suddenly became alert, and a burst of energy shot out silently and appeared in the cave where the Life Spring was located. A strong pressure exploded, as if to crush all the evil auras.

  "I refuse to give in!! Old bald donkey! Why do you always oppose me!! To escape the desolate prison, I'm willing to detonate the Azure Fire of the Underworld and destroy my flesh that's been cultivated for a hundred years. Why won't you let me go?!" The Blood Infant in the depths of his Dantian let out a mournful shriek, as thick blood energy surged and churned, yet it was still unable to break free from the golden seal's restraints.

  Tang Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Your heart is too heavy with murderous intent, you should be forever trapped in this desolate prison!"

  "Get out of my sight! I'll go wherever I want!"

  "Evil ancestor, give up. In the vastness of the universe, there is a predetermined fate. This life spring can purify the evil in the world. You are an embodiment of evil and are destined to be restrained by me."

  "Ahh!! I refuse to accept this!!" The Blood Infant struggled again.

  "You want to use this body to reincarnate, but unfortunately, his spiritual pulse is activated as he wishes, but it's far more terrifying than you expected, beyond your control. Today, I'd rather destroy my own soul than let you thoroughly suppress!" Tang Yan's eyes flashed with golden light, the golden patterns around him suddenly disappeared, but inside his dantian, a burst of endless golden light exploded, gathering into dense golden chains that seemed to cover the Blood Infant like a heavenly net.

  "You bald donkey, how dare you!!"

  "A century of struggle, yet merely serving as a garment for others, what an evil fate! This is indeed predestined!"

  With the last echo of the hoarse voice fading away, the Blood Infant let out a wail like an evil spirit, and then... everything returned to silence. Tang Yan's body shook violently as he fell headfirst into the spring pool.

  Yang Ruyan was awakened by the continuous strange changes, staring blankly at the mist in front of her, what just happened? Where did the golden light come from? Where did the old man's voice come from? What is that bastard Tang Yan up to?!
