Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 248: Development - Part 2

Amidst the ancient trees of the Dreadshade forest, Su Yen, clad in determined resolve, faced the relentless lightning tribulation.

From the system, he knew this was going to be a long 18 deadly purple tribulation.

Yet, he wasn't bothered.

His long black sword sliced through the air as he deftly parried each bolt of purple lightning.

Amid the forest, it was a dance between a mortal and celestial forces.

The Barren Land's sky succumbed to an ominous darkness, the very fabric of nature recoiling at the impending spectacle happening at the Dreadshade forest.

In the heart of the roiling cloud, a vivid purple center pulsed with ethereal energy, resonating with powerful thunder that echoed through the vast expanse of the Barren Land.

Everyone in the Barren Land could feel the terrifying power from the reverberating thunder.

However, when they learned it was centered over the Celestial Heavenly Sect, their anxious hearts relaxed, and it became a harmless gossip among the inhabitants of the land.

This was not the first time they'd seen such a phenomenon, though this one was more powerful than the previous one.

They weren't bothered at all. As long as it was something related to the Celestial Heavenly Sect, they wouldn't worry at all.

Meanwhile, Su Yen's silhouette flickered like a shadowy guardian amidst the chaos, an indomitable spirit challenging the heavens themselves.

Boom!

His sword cleaved a bolt of lightning into two, but the broken part of the lightning scattered into the forest.

Su Yen may be unharmed by the bolt of lightning, but the Dreadshade forest was not.

Each spark of the lightning destroyed everything in its path, turning the verdant forest into a scorched wasteland.

"That's the ninth one. Nine more to go," he muttered as he prepared for the 10th bolt of lightning.

But this time around, the bolt of lightning did not come immediately as the sky rumbled, gathering more power to decimate this puny human.

In the sect, all the disciples of the various academies came out and looked up at the ominous cloud over their heads.

However, their thoughts were different from the public. They were not concerned about themselves or the sect.

In their hearts was a burning fire that resonated with the purple cloud as they longed for the time when they could also create such a phenomenon.

Inside the sect master's main hall, all the elders didn't bother to care about the purple cloud as they busied discussing how to complete their mission.

"Elder Mei, how many people do you need to complete the creation of the Three Diamond Layer Formation?" Supreme Elder Jie asked.

"Two hundred thousand, nothing more, nothing less," she responded without thinking.

"That's too much. You're not the only one with a massive project," Elder Kang of the construction department responded.

"So what! I need to complete my project before anyone else since it relates to the safety of the entire barren land," she retorted, glaring at him.

"What do you say? Safety of the Barren Land my ass. Since there was no formation guarding our land, what happened to us?" Elder Kang responded, his voice rising a couple of octaves.

"You two should take it easy. There are enough people to work on all the projects," Supreme Elder Feng said, trying to calm both the Formation master and the construction master down.

Since a couple of weeks, these two had been at odds with each other. All the elders had tried to resolve the dispute between them but all their efforts were futile.

Now, with the distribution of humans, they began another round of quarrel.

"Will you two stop this nonsense," Elder Jie shouted in frustration.

Instantly, the hall descended into abrupt silence. Yet, the two loggerheads still glared at each other.

"The Construction Project will demand the highest number of people. So, they must have the highest number of people," he announced, giving no room for argument.

"Besides, their other project still on the ground. The blacksmith department will also need a lot of people with what the Sect Master has in mind," Su Ming added.

"Right!"

All the elders nodded, agreeing with him. However, Elder Mei wasn't convinced. She stood up and said boldly to the Supreme Elder.

"Don't see me as an unreasonable woman. The two hundred thousand people were a conservative number from my side. I did not even add people needed for the construction of the cities and towns protection formation."

When they heard this, they all rolled their eyes and looked at the stubborn Elder Mei.

Elder Jie and Elder Feng looked at each other and sighed. They didn't even know how to handle this.

If they were to reduce the number of people from each project and they failed to meet up to the timeframe, they would be held responsible.

Just when everyone was lost on what to do, Su Lan spoke up. "I think we should agree... Her project is only three days. How could that affect the other projects?"

"That's right," Su Ming supported his sister.

"If that's the case, the formation department will be given two hundred thousand people," Elder Jie announced.

Elder Kang looked at Elder Mei for a couple of seconds and snorted before averting his gaze.

With those two settled, all the other departments didn't have issues with each other.

After ending the meeting, all the elders sprung to action. They only glanced at the sky for a mere second before rushing to their departments.

In the sect, there was a Spirit Train station. Shortly, disciples and elders rushed into the Spirit Train station, going to various parts of the Barren Land.

In the Southern Barren Land, inside the Huang Manor, Huang Yin looked at the dark cloud with a look of anticipation on her face.

As long as Su Yen broke through to the Golden Core realm, only the expert above the Saint realm could defeat him.

However, she had not even read or heard of an expert of the Saint realm, not to talk of those above it.

With such power, she knew the barren land had no need to fear any power in the world.

Suddenly, she received a message on her Spirit Comms and checked her Spirit Comms.

"So it had begun," she murmured.

"Send our men, the project has begun," she said to the thin air.

"Yes, madam," a voice responded.

At once, the Southern Barren land was thrown into a rush hour period.

Many people received notification on their Spirit Comms, and they began to rush to the sea harbor.

On the Southern sea, tens of massive ships were deployed. On each ship were long black rods.

Each rod was engraved with many small runes. Apart from that, there were smaller metallic plates made from the grade-2 metal.

All the beasts in the sea had long escaped from the vicinity of the Southern Barren.

Subsequently, the rumble of thunder echoed in the sky.

While the Southern Barren Land was getting busy for the construction of the Three Diamond Layer Formation, Su Yen was at the end of his tribulation.

Everything around him for hundreds of meters was charred black. The spot which he stood had sunk ten meters down with the surrounding filled with cracks.

As he prepared for the last bolt of his lightning, he creased his brow when his instinct sensed a horrifying killing intent from the tribulation. Explore more at novelbuddy.com

Before the last bolt of lightning descended, he released his sword soul, and his body buzzed with powerful sword intent.

Boom!

From the depth of the sky, a bolt of lightning as big as an adult human arm descended from the depth of the purple cloud.

Suddenly, the bolt of lightning transformed into hundreds of powerful horses with a protruding.

Their hooves were so powerful that they made the sky tremble with each of their steps.

Realizing his instinct was right, Su Yen didn't have any change in expression as he took a deep breath.

"Chaotic Sword Strike," he shouted and swung his sword in an arc.

Whoosh!

A horrifying beam of light came out of his sword, cleaving everything in its path into.

A deep crack appeared in the space as the deadly sword attack wrapped in a terrifying sword intent breezed toward the tens of powerful lightning horses.

Boom!

The sword attack hit the horses, cleaving them into pieces but it didn't stop there and continued to move at a breathtaking speed into the sky.

Boom!

A thunderous roar reverberated from the depth of the cloud. It was a cry of beasts filled with fury.

The sky trembled for a couple of seconds before returning to normal. From the depth of the dark cloud.

A pure spiritual energy rushed downward into Su Yen's body.

This heavenly blessing accepted him as part of the world. Also, it washed all the impurities from his body and cleansed his bloodline.

Slowly, his cultivation rose from the Peak of Core Refining realm into the Early Golden Core Realm.

However, his cultivation didn't stop there. It continued to rise slowly. From the Early Golden Core realm stage 1 up to the peak of stage 3.

With such rapid cultivation, another deafening roar echoed from the depth of the sky.

It was as if the heaven did not believe what was happening.

This was the first time the heaven witnessed such an unreasonably talented monster.
