My Descendants Are My Power

"Crack!"

Three days had passed, and all those watching Amber Hill gazed with solemn expressions.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

They clearly saw that the black cocoon had absorbed all the power of the thunder tribulation.

The formations on the cocoon were dimming, and a restrained aura emanated from within as cracks spread across its surface.

As the cocoon shattered, Julian, his body bare, floated in the air, not a trace of aura leaking out!

While undergoing the tribulation, his limbs had been silver, but now, Julian had returned to flesh and blood.

The muscles on his body weren't as exaggerated as a bodybuilder's but rather like a work of art sculpted by the heavens and earth!

"Larry... everyone..."

In the past, Julian would have roared with excitement, showing off to his clan members.

But now, he frowned, glancing at the Storage Ring in his hand – the one he had received upon arriving at Radiant Sky Grotto.

His voice was calm, but a flicker of pain crossed his eyes. "I will live on, well."

Then, without a moment's hesitation, he sped towards Radiant Sky Grotto.

His speed was frightening, comparable to the fastest warp shuttles!

This single action alerted all the experts in the Emerald Empire that the Pinnacle Apprentice rankings needed updating.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Inside the Hall residence, Brody, who was meditating in his secret chamber, withdrew his Competent Force that was scouting outside.

He abruptly stood up, cold sweat dripping down his back. "How can he be so strong? He just broke through to Competent Force, how is this possible?!"

He still hadn't forgotten Donna, who had fought him that day.

She was already a match for him, and if she had fought with all her might, she might even have perished alongside him.

But from the probe of his Competent Force just now, he was certain.

Julian, who had just broken through to Competent Force, could already fight him!

Even though... he himself, after the deaths of many projections, now possessed the strength to compete for the top spot on the Pinnacle Apprentice rankings.

Besides him, the Venerable projections of the Heavenly Path all over the world frowned.

They were beginning to think that perhaps their intrusion into Glory City that day hadn't been such a good idea after all.

…

After his breakthrough, Julian returned to Radiant Sky Grotto.

He bowed towards the ancient tree where Old Ancestor Reid was in seclusion and then immediately returned to his room, stepping back into the Forebearer Space.

At this moment, all the Blackwood people were waiting for news of Julian.

Amidst the joyful congratulations of his clan members…

Julian knelt before Ethan. "Forebearer, your descendant has broken through to Competent Force!"

[Your descendant, Julian, using the power of the thunder tribulation, has fused various ores and numerous previous special traits, gaining the trait: Unorthodox Path Body.]

[His body, tempered by heavenly lightning and earthly fire, has become like tempered steel, possessing the speed, strength, and hardness of the strongest top-grade ability weapons. His body can serve as a formation base, with himself as the array. He can transform into an AI Bionic Robot, multiplying his combat power…]

The information on the 'Unorthodox Path Body' trait stretched long in the event log, dazzling Ethan's eyes!

The Blackwood people were simply overjoyed that Julian had overcome the nine-nine thunder tribulation.

Most of them could only sense Julian's soul and couldn't truly comprehend how powerful he had become.

Only Ethan knew clearly.

Julian was now a true human weapon!

Every part of his body was as strong as a top-grade ability weapon.

Even an ordinary peak Competent Force expert wouldn't be able to completely destroy a common top-grade ability weapon even with all their might.

Moreover, Julian's trait allowed his body to accommodate formations, enabling him to become an AI Bionic Robot…

He was proficient in Unorthodox Path techniques, and his strength would continue to grow as he learned more in the future, further enhancing his power.

"Peak Competent Force… He broke through directly to peak Competent Force."

"As long as he can successfully temper himself to the Basic Mastery level and cultivate his Unorthodox Path techniques to the Fifth-Grade, he can then summon the Basic Mastery tribulation!"

Looking at Julian, who was laughing with his clan members, Ethan's eyes gleamed.

He felt sincere joy.

Heavenly Path Venerables were monsters, but the Blackwoods… also had their own monster!

…

With the great battle at Amber Hill and Julian's breakthrough through the nine-nine thunder tribulation, the entire Emerald Empire was reminded once again of the Blackwood clan in Cloudview County.

But time had a way of making people forget.

The Emerald Empire continued to function as usual.

[Year 258 of the Blackwood Clan]

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

After his breakthrough, Julian continued to cultivate psychic powers and study Unorthodox Path techniques under Old Ancestor Reid's guidance.

Donna and the others had already appeared.

It seemed someone was always watching them, so they decided to settle down in Radiant Sky Grotto as well.

Clan members from all over the world became even more motivated by Julian's breakthrough.

They also avoided any further conflict with the Heavenly Path Venerables.

Ethan's figure appeared in the sky.

He stood on an ability vessel, with nine other vessels flying behind him.

They flew over a vast forest, their speed gradually slowing down as they headed towards Amelia's location!

"Sir, we have bypassed the Endless Forest, avoiding the areas guarded by the Druids. A hundred miles ahead lies the Golden Empire."

Edward, who had been trapped in Kylin Mountain, stood at the bow of the vessel as a young man reported to him.

Aboard these ten ability vessels were all the Rising Stars rescued from Kylin Mountain that day!

After escaping from Sunshine Mansion, the numerous projections of the Heavenly Path Venerables had been like ants on a hot pan, constantly trying to capture them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They were no longer safe within the Emerald Empire's territory and had no choice but to embark on a long journey to the Golden Empire.

"I understand."

Edward faced the wind and responded softly.

His expression was blank as he gazed ahead.

Though there was nothing there, his gaze remained deep and unreadable.

Ethan, standing beside him, observed Edward's demeanor, a deep worry flashing in his eyes.

Five years had passed since they were rescued.

Whether it was during their escape or now that they had reached safety, Edward remained like this, his face an emotionless mask.

Even after returning to the Forebearer Space, he had only cried his heart out once.

After that, he hadn't spoken an unnecessary word.

[Your descendant, Edward, fell into Austin's hands the moment the Heavenly Path Venerable invaded Cloudview County. He witnessed with his own eyes the Venerable's projection slaughtering his clan members, one by one, dying before him, while he was powerless to stop it. He has gained the trait: Numbness.]

[He had screamed until his voice was hoarse, cried until he had no more tears, until he had no strength left. Few things in the world could stir his emotions anymore.]

[Your descendant, Edward, was imprisoned by Austin for decades, gaining the trait: Caged Bird.]

[A caged bird, facing a confined environment, experiences a 50% increase in fear. To avoid such a predicament again, his psychic power cultivation speed increases by 20%.]

In addition to these traits, everything that had happened was changing Edward.

But he remained silent and expressionless, like a block of ice.

Even Ethan couldn't fathom what was going on in the child's mind.

"Sigh."

Ethan let out a long sigh.

Edward was like this, and who among the rest of the family had truly recovered from the events of that year? Stay tuned with empire

Even he, the Forebearer, was no exception.

But life had to go on.

They had to keep moving forward.
