Villain Cultivator

Chapter 501 '“ Dao Inheritance Tribulation

World guardians, who had been guarding clan lords, stared at the tribulation cloud. As they were in charge of bestowing Heaven Tribulation to cultivators, they knew what kind of tribulation that was.

It was a Tribulation of Heavenly Dao. This type of tribulation only happened when someone was inheriting a Dao from someone else.

A cultivator couldn't come up with the same Dao. Even if it was similar, the Dao's foundation, Elemental Continent, and the method to solidify the Dao Pillar were always different. Therefore, this tribulation was impossible unless someone from a higher realm was bestowing their Dao to a disciple or a vessel.

In this case, no one but the Dao's owner could control or interfere with the tribulation. All world guardians turned their heads away, ignoring the tribulation cloud.

Still, they informed their affiliated clan lords and vessels about this tribulation.

"Someone is inheriting a Heavenly Dao."

"Who?"

"We don't know."

"'¦"

Everyone only gazed at the tribulation and the hotel, watching the event from afar.

'¦

RUMBLE

Even though Miaomiao was still inside the hotel room, the dark cloud slowly descended and entered the room through creaks and keyholes.

Fang Meirong was alarmed. She tried to wake Miaomiao up, but he continued to sleep.

Azazel also entered the room and dragged Fang Meirong out. She erected a formation array to seal the room, preventing outsiders from entering it.

"What happened, senior sheep?" Fang Meirong was confused.

"A Dao Inheritance Tribulation. We can't interfere."

"Oh, is that so."

Fang Meirong had her previous life's memory. She understood the importance of this tribulation as she also went through something similar on another planet.

One of Fang Meirong's Dao Pillars was a Dao of Fang Clan's ancestor. This Dao increased her cultivation speed, luck, and dantian capacity. Moreover, she had no obligation to be a vessel of her ancestor since her clan's ancestor bestowed it to her for free.

"This is going to be costly. The room is expensive," Fang Meirong sighed as she counted the number of her soul stones in her spatial ring.

"I'll take care of this. Also, please stop calling me Senior Sheep."

"Aren't you a sheep?"

"This is a mask."

"May I see your true appearance?"

"'¦ No."

"Bummer."

= Isolation Training Space =

Miaomiao sat at the center of an ice continent, sweating profusely.

Everything on the continent was the mixture of Greenland and Northpole - Ice plateaus, snow mountains, and the frozen sea was the only thing Miaomiao could see.

Despite being on the ice continent, the sky was as dark as a night sky without stars. Everything around Miaomiao was pitched black.

This place was the new compound element continent that Miaomiao had created, Dark Ice of Primordial Yin.

Miaomiao had combined his Dark Element Crystal, Dragon Ice Element Crystal, and Xu Chu's Yin Providence into a new compound element. Then, he spent two years creating this continent.

Now, it was the time to form a new Dao Pillar, using this continent as a foundation.

Behind Miaomiao, Xu Chu stood still, placing her hand on his head and transferring her memory to him.

He was in pain. Blood came out of his orifices, and a part of his body cracked. His right pinky finger fell off from his hand while his right feet turned into dust.

Xu Chu pulled her hand back, "Respawn and try again."

"'¦"

Miaomiao took a deep breath. He activated his newly acquired skill.

Save Respawn Location

Liu Yan's skill was surprisingly useful here. He could use this skill to save a respawn location. Then, a new feature was available to him.

Respawn

Instead of dying and waiting for the automatic respawn system to resurrect him, he could intentionally respawn himself in this space and recover all his health at the cost of his luck energy.

It seemed wasteful at a glance, but it was useful for a gruesome cultivation method, which required him to risk his life and his soul.

Losing some luck points was worth it. At least, it was better than injuring his soul by inheriting a great Dao from a deity.

Miaomiao's body vanished and reappeared at the same spot. He retained his progress, but his injuries were healed.

Now, he could resume cultivating.

"This will be the last push before the tribulation comes. Hang in there."

"Okay. I think my luck energy will be depleted soon."

"Do you think I'm a decoration? I can always share my luck with you. Even if you run out of luck, you can always borrow mine and Diaochan's luck. Even if we run out of luck, we can also plunder someone else. Also, once the new Dao Pillar is completed, I can disguise myself as your Dao Avatar and help you harvest more luck."

"Won't the immortals and deities recognize you?"

"As long as I appear as a Dao Avatar or a Dao Spirit, they won't. None of them would have guessed that I would give up my divine soul to become someone's familiar."

"'¦"

Miaomiao nodded and closed his eyes, digesting Xu Chu's memory and her Dao.

A day later, Xu Chu stopped imparting her Dao to Miaomiao. The latter vomited a liter of blood and was on the verge of collapsing.

"Respawn!"

WHOOSH

Once more, Miaomiao dissipated and reappeared at the same spot. He recovered all his lost Qi and stabilized his conditions. Then, he began solidifying his new Dao Pillar.

RUMBLE

The entire continent erupted. All mountains and ice plateaus merged into a gigantic ice fortress with a massive tower. Miaomiao and Xu Chu were also dragged to the top of the fortress.

Ding

<Detecting a Dao Pillar Structure. Will you spend your life essence and luck points to construct a new pylon tower to become a new Dao Pillar?>

This wasn't Miaomiao's first time that he had received the message. Unlike the normal cultivation method, Miaomiao could create more pylon towers by sacrificing his luck and life essence. However, the towers would be consumed by the Dao Pillar, but it would be stronger than a normal Dao.

"Yes."

<Integrating Dark Ice of Primordial Yin Element Continent as the pylon tower's core.>

RUMBLE

Unlike a normal pylon tower in Siren City or his first tower in this space, this tower shot up 1,000 kilometers to the sky. The entire ice fortress turned into the tower's foundation and occupied 80% of the continent.

Again, as Xu Chu and Miaomiao had been staying at the center of the continent, the ground below them rose up and dragged them further to the sky.

They found themselves at the top of the Isolation Training Space's world. Now, they could see the starless sky and the atmosphere around Miaomiao's dantian plane.

Xu Chu grinned. She patted Miaomiao's back and descended into the newly created pylon tower.

The succubus touched the glowing massive crystal at the center of the tower. Then, her body submerged into the crystal as if it was a mass of liquid.

Miaomiao opened his eyes. At the same time, Xu Chu sent him a telepathic voice.

"Now!"

Miaomiao stood up and transformed into an incubus ancestor. He converted all his Life Essence into Yin Essence and poured it into the tower.

Within ten seconds, all Life Essence in the space was depleted. Miaomiao immediately withdrew Life Essence and Yin Essence from his soul dantian and filled the space.

The tower devoured more Yin Essence and Life Essence. It kept draining Miaomiao's energy to the point that only 70% of Miaomiao's soul dantian Qi was left.

The tower stopped draining Miaomiao's energy. It converted all Yin Essence into Dark Ice of Primordial Yin, returning its energy to the Isolation Training Space.

Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief. He returned a portion of excess energy back into the soul dantian.

But his task was far from over. He was aware of the looming tribulation as his Dao wasn't solidified or stabilized yet.

He hadn't finished constructing the pillar yet!

Miaomiao closed his eyes and vanished from the space. He woke up.

However, he closed his eyes and sank his consciousness back to the space again. This time, he used Xu Chu's technique that she had imparted to him.

One Thousand Thoughts, Hundred Consciousness!

This technique allowed Miaomiao to separate his consciousness into many parts. However, at the moment, he could only create a second consciousness since he couldn't completely operate or use his nascent soul. One extra consciousness was his limit.

A baseball-sized orb came out from Miaomiao's consciousness body. It rushed into the center of the new Dao Pillar and entered it.

The orb of Miaomiao's consciousness followed after Xu Chu, who had submerged into the Dao Pillar earlier. She also detached her soul, creating a similar orb.

Then, she grabbed Miaomiao's orb and put pressed it against her detached soul.

The two orbs merged as if they were slimes, combining their bodies. A minute later, a new orb was created.

A system message panel appeared before Miaomiao.

Ding

<You have successfully formed a pact with Xu Chu.>

<Xu Chu's Soul Crystal has been created.>

<Xu Chu is now your Dao Spirit!>

<From now on, Xu Chu can share her power and providence with you.>

The new orb that Xu Chu had created was her Soul Crystal, which would be residing in this tower forever. As for her main soul, she could still freely roam the space as usual.

Xu Chu put the orb into the deepest center of the pillar. Then, she came out of the tower.

"I'm done on my part. Now, it's the most dangerous process. Be careful."

Xu Chu solemnly gazed at Miaomiao's consciousness for a moment. Then, she disappeared.

Miaomiao returned his consciousness to his real body. He woke up and opened his eyes.

Xu Chu also emerged as an illusion of a Dao Avatar. She appeared as a naked sculpture woman, which was always attached to the tower shield with Yin Yang Diagram. But this time, the sculpture turned into a stature, wielding the shield.

The cloud of tribulation gathered around them. Like a whirlpool, the dark cloud entered Miaomiao's orifices.

"PFFFT!!"

Miaomiao was suffocated. Even though he no longer needed Oxygen to live, he felt like he was out of breath or air.

His face, skin, bones, arms, and legs were warped and distorted. Waves of unknown fluid moved around his body, sending the excruciating pain signal to his brain.

A dark and ominous aura that the Holy Element used to suppress also emerged. It surrounded Miaomiao and let out a sound as if it was laughing at him.

Miaomiao endured the torture and bit his lower lips until his teeth sunk into his flesh. His red pupils brightened, and his white eye turned black.

His blood vessels turned black, but they quickly became transparent. The distorted expression, arms, and legs slowly returned to normal.

The dark cloud of tribulation completely entered Miaomiao's body and become one with him. Yet, the tribulation was far from over.

BOOM

All arteries inside Miaomiao's body ruptured. Even his heart was shattered, and his lungs were torn into pieces.

Had it been a normal human, he would have died without fail.

Xu Chu sighed as this tribulation was much more severe than ordinary Dao Inheritance Tribulation. Since this Dao belonged to an ancient deity, the punishment was harsh.

Fortunately, Miaomiao inherited the cockroach-like regenerative power of many protagonists. He gathered his Life Essence from his bone marrow and blood cells to the damaged organs.

Instantly, he was healed!

BOOM

BOOM

This time, his spinal cord, skull, and innards were destroyed.

Once more, Miaomiao circulated his Life Essence to heal himself.

BOOM

Next, his arms and legs burst. All his limbs were exploded into blood mist.

Xu Chu rushed to Miaomiao's side and carried him to bed. The latter groaned and concentrated on regenerating his lost body parts.

BOOM

Miaomiao's eyes were suddenly ejected from the sockets due to the extreme pressure. Xu Chu caught them and put them back in. Then, she fetched the spring water in Miaomiao's backup spatial rings and poured it on him.

BOOM

BOOM

No part of Miaomiao was spared. Every time Miaomiao or Xu Chu healed one body part, another organ was destroyed. Even his proud penis was exploded and regenerated.

For hours, Miaomiao underwent destruction and reconstruction of his new physique.

.

.

.

A day later, the tribulation ended.

Fang Meirong and Azazel entered the room to check on Miaomiao.

Inside the room, the furniture was destroyed. Blood, human flesh, innards, and various human organs had been scattered around the bedroom of Miaomiao.

Strangely, Miaomiao was sleeping soundly on the only bed, which was still intact.

However, his appearance greatly changed.

Fang Meirong and Azazel frowned as they stared at Miaomiao's naked body. They didn't know what to describe him.

He looked too feminine and beautiful. Had they dressed him in women's clothes, nobody would have realized that he was a man!

"What Dao has he inherited?"

Azazel shook her head and glanced at Miaomiao's private part. Fortunately, he was still a man with no boobs. Otherwise, he would have been bullied as a transgender.

"Probably something related to a beauty Dao. Don't worry about it."

"Beauty Dao?" Fang Meirong doubted it. She could see a dark aura around him, which didn't belong to beauty or cosmetic-related Dao. "More like something sinister.. Probably an evil Dao."
