Chapter 196: Translate for Me, What Do You Mean by Your Inheritance Pool?
“Boom!!”
Unparalleled spiritual power burst forth, forming dazzling arcs of electricity in the air!
The electric light was brilliant, easily piercing through the space barrier and leading to an unknown destination.
“What are you doing?”
Fire Heart frowned, feeling a bit uneasy.
“Have you heard of the Heavenly Dao Arbitration Appeal?”
As soon as those words were spoken, the other party trembled.
“You’re just spreading alarm!”
She clenched her teeth, not believing that Zhou Tong had such abilities, which even she could not achieve.
“Hmph… It seems you know quite a bit, but it’s a pity that you can’t fool me. Your farce should end now.”
She gathered her energy and spirit, preparing to strike again.
At that moment…
Endless laws converged, and the pressure in the world became extremely heavy, as if a celestial being had descended.
Next, a great eye opened in the void, gazing down at everything here.
“How is this possible?”
Fire Heart was completely stunned, feeling cold in her hands and feet.
She had held onto a sliver of hope, believing that even if Zhou Tong could truly initiate the Heavenly Dao Arbitration Appeal, he couldn’t receive feedback immediately.
After all, there were many others who appealed, and Zhou Tong would have to wait his turn; he was not the favorite illegitimate child of the Heavenly Dao!
However, she never expected that Zhou Tong would actually use Imperial-level spiritual power to attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao in an instant and complete the queue jump!
Immediately afterward, a majestic voice boomed.
“The Heavenly Dao intervenes for investigation…”
“Beginning to review the time records…”
“Review complete… The Heavenly Dao hereby renders judgment!”
In just a few blinks, the Heavenly Dao Eye understood everything.
“Fire Authority Fire Heart used her position to maliciously deceive the Heavenly Dao, a crime of increased severity!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong was slightly taken aback.
This Heavenly Dao was quite empathetic; those who had made sincere pacts but were unable to fulfill them due to external forces were often treated very leniently.
But for those who were prepared to breach the contract from the moment they signed, the Heavenly Dao would never show mercy.
This time, Fire Heart had truly committed a serious offense. Even with the cultivation of a Sage, she would be severely punished.
“Wait a minute… I realize my mistake, I am willing to fulfill the contract!”
She cried out in fear.
“Too late, those who deceive the Heavenly Dao must face punishment. I will now strike you with five thunders, obliterating your soul!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Fire Heart trembled all over; this punishment did not harm the physical body but targeted the soul, which was a nemesis for beings like her.
A slight misstep would result in her being struck down and her intelligence shattered, returning her to a state of ignorance!
“Boom!”
The five thunders struck in unison, their lightning illuminating history, clearly reflecting the despair and fear on her face.
She attempted to flee, but how could she escape the speed of the heavenly tribulation? Five bolts of thunder transformed into swords, rapidly pursuing her.
Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes, clearly seeing that five bolts of lightning pierced through her head, the center of her brow, her heart, and the soles of her feet, instantly breaking through her defenses!
“Ahhh!!!”
Fire Heart let out a tragic scream, powerless as she fell to the ground!
“Spare me… I realize my mistake!”
She gasped for breath, her face showing the expression of someone who had survived a disaster. The Heavenly Dao ultimately showed mercy, sparing her from returning to ignorance.
“Punishment complete; the contract must continue to be fulfilled, and you must also provide compensation.”
As the words fell, a ring of light descended from the great eye, encircling Fire Heart’s neck like a collar.
“What… is this?”
The Virgin Saint’s voice trembled as this circle made her feel uncomfortable; she struggled to break free.
“This is the Betrayal Shackles. In this secret realm, beyond the terms of the contract, you must unconditionally agree to one request from the other party!”
“How can this be?!”
“Heh… Just what I wanted!”
Zhou Tong stepped forward, towering over her with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“What… do you want?”
Fire Heart crossed her arms, looking as weak as a woman incapable of defending herself, desperately trying to resist the tyrant’s encroachment.
“From today on, how about you recognize me as your master?”
“Forget it! You vile and shameless bully, I won’t let you succeed!”
“If you dare make an unreasonable request, I’ll self-destruct and perish with you!”
The other party bombarded him with words, desperately trying to distance herself from Zhou Tong as if terrified.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but sweat the small stuff.
After all, the Heavenly Dao Eye was watching, so he couldn’t make unreasonable demands. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that the Heavenly Dao Eye seemed to be scrutinizing him.
“Get lost; you have no part in this for now. If I have a request, I will find you!”
Upon hearing this, Fire Heart felt as if a great burden had been lifted, and she immediately fled at an incredible speed.
“Hmph… troublesome thing.”
Zhou Tong muttered but then noticed she had come back to stand in front of him.
“Ah… are you trying to scare me to death?!”
“Um… can I…”
Fire Heart’s face flushed, slightly embarrassed as she said, “Can I have some of your blood? I need it to open the inheritance pool.”
“You…!”
Zhou Tong opened his mouth, wanting to scold her; she was overstepping her bounds. But after a moment of thought, he put on a friendly smile.
“Alright, here you go!”
He flicked his finger, and a droplet of bright red blood flew out.
“Farewell!”
The other party moved like a rabbit, snatching the source of the blood and fleeing, terrified Zhou Tong might have ulterior motives again.
“Hmph, naïve!”
As he watched her retreating figure, Zhou Tong revealed a wicked smile.
Did she really think that it was so easy to take advantage of me?
To gain something, one must first offer something!
Translate for me, what do you mean by your inheritance pool? As long as it’s something I set my eyes on, it’s mine!
The energy of the Dragon Transformation Pool had diminished significantly; if I devoured the Vermilion Bird Pool, I could surely replenish it, right?
This was not about helping Fire Heart; helping her was helping myself!
“Finally got rid of this troublesome woman. It’s time to find Shi Jie and the others.”
Zhou Tong took a long breath and was about to leave, but at that moment, he was shocked to discover that the Heavenly Dao Eye was still present, staring directly at him.
In an instant, his heart raced.
The previous feeling was not wrong; it was indeed measuring him.
“Identifying an abnormal individual…”
The Heavenly Dao Eye emitted a dignified voice, causing Zhou Tong to hold his breath.
But he did not panic; instead, he fearlessly held its gaze. After a moment, its words finally allowed him to relax.
“Permission to exist…”
“Alert lifted!”
As the words fell, the imposing Heavenly Dao Eye seemed to lose its seriousness, as its large pupil gained a touch of gentleness.
“Why have you returned? Why do you wish to grow stronger? What exactly are you fighting for?”
The heavy and steady voice weighed down like thunder, piercing through Zhou Tong’s heart!
“I…”
Zhou Tong opened his mouth, but a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes!
