Chapter 598: Pride Or Confidence…[Power stone Bonus Chapter]
The thought process behind Zeras’s actions was quite simple.
He knew well that the heavenly punishment to punish him needed to create an avatar of itself.
That avatar would be the one to which the heavenly punishment could sense its power, like water to a bucket.
Judging by the amount of lightning energy present in the sky, Zeras knew that even if he could defeat the lightning, he would still ultimately lose because the avatar would keep getting inexhaustible energy from the heavens, and he would quickly run out.
So he had devised a plan to quickly take the avatar by surprise, crush it beneath his feet, and before it could regain full energy from the sea of tribulation lightning, he would forcefully absorb the avatar into himself.
Almost like swallowing the bucket so that any water that got poured into the avatar would come to him instead.
And that was exactly what Zeras did. Once he devoured the avatar, he rushed into the sky to absorb every single droplet of tribulation lightning that was present.
Still, the lightning had its will, and it ran amok in Zeras’s body, wanting to reduce him to nothing from the inside out.
And that was the exact time that the Desolate Star Ring and the Desolate Star Core immediately began working, as the Desolate Star Ring revolved behind him with horrifying speed, absorbing all the tribulation energy before sending it through Zeras’s body and straight into his Desolate Star Core, which also hungrily devoured all the energy passed into it and stored it within his body.
All Zeras had to do was to simply resist enough to have all the lightning energy absorbed without getting burnt to ashes.
With iron will, backed by fury and anger, Zeras clenched his teeth tightly as he sped up the absorption process and withstood the unbridled power burning his entire body once more.
It had been less than two days, yet he had been forced to witness the feeling of his body being burnt from the inside out…
Hours passed quickly, with the three elders never once even taking their gaze away from the sea of lightning.
Slowly, an unbelievable truth appeared before them as they watched the lightning in the sky slowly reduce and reduce until there was nothing but a singular entity standing in the sky.
“Ahhhhhh…” A satisfied moan escaped Zeras’s lips as he felt every inch of his body filled with a shocking amount of explosive force.
His bones crackled within his body, and diving his consciousness into them, he could see another set of runes had appeared in his body.
A set of reddish-colored runes, which could have only been from his forceful devouring of heavenly punishment.
Now he had a total of three runes overlapping his body. One was from his soul star runes that manifested from his soul, while the other was his tribulation lightning runes. On his skin itself were the Desolate Star Body Runes.
The Heavenly Punishment Lightning holds a special law of annihilation, while his Desolate Star Body holds the law of hegemony! Now he was in possession of two laws!!!

“He won, he won against Heaven’s punishment!”
“Impossible. He is a monster, a monster!!!” The two male grand elders said as they watched Zeras turn his attention towards them before flying to them, stopping 20 meters away, as his gaze scanned the two male grand elders, giving them simple nods of acknowledgement before turning to Grand Elder Celestine.
“After acing all three tests of the Prodigies War Events, with every session of it, including risking the life of me and my companion, I took the Ten Thousand Transformations Entrance Test, and I passed it fair and square.
But then due to a minor error of my cultivation regressing, I was told I was unworthy of entering the sect anymore because I was no longer the Zeras that fulfilled the criteria and therefore no longer worthy of the ten thousand transformation sect.
Isn’t that right?” Zeras asked with an absolutely listless expression as the two elders furrowed their eyebrows and couldn’t help but turn their shocked gaze towards Celestine.
This wasn’t what she had told them about him, and she had simply shooed him off to them as another failure who gained the acknowledgement of the lower elders and was allowed to join the outer sect.
If there had not been this strange anomaly of heavenly punishment alerting them from their cultivation, they would never have even known Zeras existed…
“That’s right. You’re trash who has now had his cultivation regressed and is no longer worthy of joining our revered Ten Thousand Transformations Sect,” Grand Elder Celestine said with a poker face.
She wouldn’t cower to a boy at the peak of the galaxy rank simply due to the fact that he was able to avoid getting destroyed by heavenly punishment… freewebnovel.cσ๓
Sooner or later, the heavens will come for him once more, and when that time happens, there will be no escaping his fate.
Besides, she could still bring an end to his life if she so willed; she was strong enough to do so…
“One day, which is not very far from now, it will be a question of whether your revered Ten Thousand Transformations Sect is worthy of me or not!” Zeras replied with the same listless expression before the space around him exploded to nothing and he became a shooting beam of light heading back towards his mountain abode.
The three elders looked dazedly at the beam of light that disappeared into the distance, with their mouths agape.
It was the biggest, boldest stance that they had ever seen a person show to their Ten Thousand Transformations Sect. The question of whether they were qualified to take him in or not!
Who did he think they were? They had been one of the three supreme sects of the God’s Children area for countless years. Such a bold question…
“He is truly nothing more than a prideful bastard,” Grand Elder Celestine said with a disdainful smirk…
“That’s not pride, Celestine, that is confidence…”
