Path of Absolute Transcendence

The information gave Kai a lot of headaches; he needs to stay alert all the time since the trial can happen at any time.

"I will face it when the time comes." Kai muttered fearlessly.

But for now, he is not going to care about that since he needs to reach the 11th layer. Then Kai started refining the Qi sea, and it was very hard to continue refining because his Qi had already reached 97 percent purity and there was not much impurities to eliminate.

Time continued to pass, and Kai forgot about the passage of time due to concentration. After a long period of refining, he finally felt the bottleneck of the 11th layer, and it was even harder than the last layer.

Kai gathered all of his Qi in a single place and started hitting the wall. But no matter how much he hit that wall, he wasn't able to break it. It seems like throwing an egg to break a huge rock.

But that did not stop Kai from doing it; his desire to reach the peak is absolute. A person with ambition can reach the peak, but after achieving the ambition, the peak will be a lonely place for them. But a person with desire will not have that feeling since it's their dream.

After a long time of hitting the same point of the barrier, Kai finally found a breakthrough. A small crack appeared in that place, and with hope in front of him, he hit the barrier with even more vigor.

*BOOM*

Finally, the barrier broke with a cracking sound; As soon as the barrier broke, the surrounding Qi gathered around him and formed a cocoon with him inside.

Kai felt very comfortable and soon lost consciousness inside the cocoon. He wasn't able to resist the process during the entire.

Inside the white cocoon, Kai was peacefully sleeping. He facial expression also indicates that he wasn't in any danger.

Then the cocoon suddenly produced some gray coloured energy; it appeared near Kai and went inside his body without any warning.

The energy first went inside his head and futher moved towards the brain; after that began to disintegrate his brain.

It completely disintegrated the entire brain in a few seconds. But Kai did not die, and his brain also reformed in a few seconds.

The energy did not move away from the brain but continued to disintegrate and reform it. After repeating this process nine times, the energy moved towards the heart, and it did the same process in the heart.

Then the energy moved towards the lungs, kidneys, spleen, and liver. They all got disintegrated and reformed by the gray energy.

After reforming all the vital organs in his body, the energy moved to the bones and started crushing them bit by bit.

"Ah"

Kai screamed in pain in this process; it was not like the other process, and it seemed he was able to feel the pain now. But after a few seconds, he lost consciousness.

Then the bones all around his body turned into power and reformed properly. After doing all the work, the energy disappeared into his blood. It did not bring any changes to his blood.

The cocoon around him slowly merged with his body, and his skin started to fall like a snake shedding his skin. After doing all of this, it merged with him. Kai fell down naked on the ground.

"I thought I was going to die."

This was his first thought after he woke up. The process that happened in the cocoon made him realize what it means to be in hell.

Every piece of his bones got crushed, and the entire structure of the bones in the whole body got replaced. That pain still sent a shiver down his spine when he thought about it. He doesn't want to ever experience that again.

The result of this process is also very beneficial to Kai.

'I think this process is similar to mortal shedding in the divine realm, but it is not that advanced since I am still a mortal.' thought Kai, who knew he had experienced something similar to Nirvana.

It was similar to the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. The same metamorphosis process happened to Kai, and his whole body transformed in this process. The process reformed his entire body, and his potential also increased a lot.

But it was on the body training path, not the Qi path, but Kai is still happy since it will be helpful for him in the future. He plans to cultivate the body path after going to the Slaughter Palace.

Now, his purity of Qi has reached 98 percent, and Kai is only one step away from the perfect foundation.

"You should stop here; I won't tolerate you if you continue to do this." A monotonous voice suddenly appeared.

"Who are you, and how did you appear here?" Kai asked.

"You know who I am and also the reason for me saying this," the monotonous voice said.

Kai became silent after hearing the voice. The voice belongs to the heavenly Dao. Kai had already heard its voice when it gave the information about the trial.

The heavenly dao does not want Kai to achieve a perfect foundation. If he had a perfect foundation and eventually reached the top, there would be no need for the top, just below the emperor level, and Kai would be invincible in the entire Enlightenment World.

The only one capable of defeating him would be another person with a perfect foundation. It severely breaks the balance of the world, as he is capable of doing anything he desires when he reaches such a stage.

But Kai does not listen to Heavenly Dao's advice; his intuition is telling him that this will be a chance to change his fate.

'I think heaven won't attack me directly. It will only set up a very hard trial, and I think I can manage it after I have the perfect foundation.' thought Kai, without caring about the consequences.

Without listening to heaven's voice, he started refining the Qi to make his foundation perfect. The process becomes really hard since there is only 2 percent impurity present.

Kai continued to refine, and after a long time, he felt the same wall blocking his advancement, but this time it was more majestic. Kai felt like an ant in front of such a huge barrier that was like a mountain.

Kai tried hitting the barrier using the Qi, and he did not even scratch it, but he used the same method of hitting the same place, like the taboo foundation realm.

After a long period, his idea seems to have worked, and a very small crack appeared. Just like that, after some time, the whole barrier broke down. Kai felt a huge pressure on him; it was the first time he felt such an overwhelming pressure.

'It seems my body has already reached the limit of pressure that I can bear, and I had to stop at the perfect foundation.' Kai thought, about the reason for this pressure.

Like before, the Qi starts surrounding him and forms a cocoon, and I fall asleep in it.

General POV

"Brother, what happened to our parents? Why aren't they waking up?" A little girl asked her big brother worriedly.

"They are just sleeping because of their sickness, and after they get healthy, you will be able to play with them." The big brother replied, and it was an obvious lie, but he did not want to make his sister sad.

While they were talking, the sky suddenly changed and became red.

"Brother, what happened? It looks very scary," said the little girl in a panicked voice.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen," reassured the boy, but he was also in panic in this unexpected situation.

The whole Enlightenment World became red, and a lot of dark red clouds with pure black lightning appeared and disappeared around it.

A lot of old monsters sleeping in some places noticed such a big change and started worrying about it.

DRAGON EMPIRE, LONG FAMILY

"Dad, why did the heavens suddenly get angry?" asked a teenage boy in a calm voice, and he was not worried about the change in the sky.

"I think someone broke the rule set by the heavenly dao," replied a middle-aged man, and he is the father of the child.

He is the current emperor of the Dragon Empire, named Long Zhen. The teenage boy is Long Tian, the only son of the emperor.

"What kind of rule was broken, Dad?" asked Long Tian.

"I don't know, since there are a lot of rules set by heaven. But to get such a reaction from the heavens, the person who broke the rule must be very strong, and the heavens want to obliterate this person immediately."

"Dad, will it cause any problems for our status?" asked Long Tian.

"Don't worry, there is no such person right now. Although our family only had two emperors, they are one of the strongest emperors in history. You also did not know the things that the Emperor left behind," replied Long Zhen.

"Okay, dad." Long Tian said it again in his usual calm tone.

The clouds began to gather around one place, and the black lightning that appeared around contained immense destruction energy that was capable of destroying anything in its path.

Suddenly, the energy intensity of the lighting increased more than five times. Some saint's supreme-tier families and sects started to worry about the lighting, unlike the emperor-tier family.

Then the lightning appeared and surrounded the whole central continent. All the common people started to panic, and some weak people had already fainted.

The one who caused all of this is sleeping peacefully inside the cocoon without being aware of his surroundings.

Then the lightning seemed charged enough and suddenly launched a huge lightning that was capable of destroying an entire country. The location of lightning is the secret realm where Kai is located.

Will Kai be able to survive this catastrophe? Will he pay for his action, as he ignored the warning when he was not strong enough?
