Hao Ren had a meal with Han Lingshi in the noon before he took off to the so-called southern seas. The young man moved quickly through the void, on the way he met the Dao Integration realm Ye Generals and asked them to raise the security levels. The military had been mobilized into a defensive stance to make sure that none of the silly neighbors tried anything stupid.
All this took him a few hours, and the situation was handled before Hao Ren flew to the southern coast. He flew past the coast line, and reached a place where stood a tiny island in the ocean. The place was not more than a few kilometers, but Hao Ren was attracted to this because location because of the aura coming from here.
As soon as he was about to land on the ground, a young lady appeared before him and immediately knelt on the ground before she asked, "Your Excellency, please be merciful on us."
Hao Ren looked at the young lady and was astounded, then he snorted and asked, "Do not use your charm on me."
The young lady nodded, and she asked humbly, "How may I be of service to you, your excellency?"
Hao Ren replied with a question, "What is your name?"
The young lady replied, "My name is Mira. I am a spirit beast king of this region."
Hao Ren nodded, and asked, "Can you tell me where I can find a place to cultivate?"
Mira replied with her bowed on the road, "Lord, you can use my island as your cultivation abode. The spiritual energy here is balanced."
Hao Ren took a deep breath as he looked around the island with his Yin and Yang eyes for any oddities. After a few minutes, he nodded and replied, "Thank you. When I am done, I will repay this favor."
Mira wanted to say something but Hao Ren's status made her hold her mouth mum. She knew that no matter how hard she would try to hold on to the thighs of this young man it would not be easy and he might even smack her to mincemeat in a move.
Hao Ren entered the wilderness and sat on top of a tree crown with his legs crossed and eyes closed. He began the process of absorbing the spiritual energy in the surroundings.
...
Han Lingshi sat in the study with a cold expression on his face. She was reading some documents and called, "Ye Yin."
Xi was surprised, but after some thinking, she found that this was probably the best way to deal with things and make sure that everyone is co-regulating each other. It was not that the Civil Servants were openly brash, they all feared that if a common citizen raised a complaint, they will lose their jobs or something even worse, while the common people thought that even the upper management was a part of the chain and they also harassed them.
Although in the past six months, nobody had dared to reached out to much, but Han Lingshi did not wish to wait for any bad incidents before she acted.
...
Hao Ren had the Moon Time Acceleration Hourglass with him, so he was spending his lifespan to quicken the process. The suction of the spiritual energy was so strong that it created a big vortex in the sky.
Mira was standing at the edge of the island and her face was pale. She had taken it upon herself to guard the land because of the senior cultivating here, but she did not know that the man would cause such a phenomenon here.
She looked at the calm waters and sensed that many spirit beasts were approaching the island. She wanted to do something when multiple sword lights erupted from the center of the island and crashed into the ocean water. It caused ripples a few moments later, the waters were stained with blood.
Hao Ren took action and silenced the spirit beasts. Mira took the opportunity and said, "An exalted senior is cultivating on the island, do not approach if you do not wish to die. Get lost."
Her voice echoed in the surroundings before things calmed down. After seven days, Hao Ren opened his eyes and looked at the sky. The black clouds brimming with red lighting appeared above the island. He shot up in the void and came out of the island before waving his hand and casting a protective barrier around it.
He looked at Mira and said, "My tribulation has come, thank you for the aid, if I get through, their will be a good reward waiting for you, little Beast King."
Mira realized that her true realm has been seen through but she did not blush or anything, and just bowed her head in acceptance.
Lightning bolts fell from the clouds, hit Hao Ren, who absorbed them and scattered them. The energy he scattered around was absorbed by the spirit beasts in the ocean. They ate the lightning as a form of tonic to grow stronger.
The tribulation burned Hao Ren's spiritual energy reserves and refined them into chaos energy wisps. By the time the ninth bolt had receded, Hao Ren was left with twenty-five chaos energy wisps. His body was healing when the notification sounded, *Ding: Congratulation host, for reaching the Star Annihilation realm, you have acquired twenty-five strands of Chaos Energy, in addition, the rewarded strands of energy from the system will now be infused inside as well.*
...
Duke Wen Kain stood on the balcony of the royal palace with a head in his hand raised high. He yelled, "Stop! The king is dead. I am now in charge."
