<strong>Chapter 339: Vengeance To Be Had!</strong>


    Suddenly, thunderous booms could be heard from within the roiling ck clouds that stretched out for 5,000 kilometers. A multitude of dancing lightning bolts could be seen within them. In addition, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared. It was an aura that wished to destroy everything, an aura that seemed to desire to wipe out all the people in Heaven and Earth.


    Even if it meant destroying thend itself, everyone must die!


    Meng Hao looked up at the vast, churning Tribtion clouds up above. It didn’t matter how strong he was, it seemed the Heavens would destroy and kill everything!


    An intense golden light shone in Meng Hao’s eyes. There was something different about acquiring the Perfect Gold Core than the time he had acquired the Perfect Foundation. A change had urred within him, as if a great Dao had opened up in front of him.


    However, before anything else, he needed to transcend this Heavenly Tribtion!


    “Dammit, Lord Fifth is gonna have to risk it all!” cried the parrot. “This master is different from the others and I can’t pull the wool over his eyes. His luck and fortune can’t possibly measure up to mine, but after all these years I haven’t seen anyone better! He’s the one. YOU’RE the one, kid! Lord Fifth is gonna go all out! Let’s dy this Heavenly Tribtion!” The parrot’s eyes turned red as it suddenly shot forward. At the same time, it lifted its ws up to tie a ck band around its head, covering its right eye.


    As the parrot flew out, the lightning up above began to coalesce. The sheer amount of it vastly surpassed that from the Pill Tribtion. Furthermore, this lightning was red in color.


    Meng Hao’s hair flew wildly around him, and his body shook violently. His eyes turned as crimson as if they had been ripped into pieces. Theke water beneath him boiled, rapidly transforming into myriad golden beads that slowly began to rise into the air.


    “Parrot!” roared Meng Hao. At the same time, he began to use a technique the parrot had taught him to exercise control over his consciousness. In the blink of an eye, the golden light in his eyes vanished, as did all of the Qi he was emanating. His body suddenly seemed to wither, and his expression grew dull.


    The parrot soared up into the air and let out a furious shout: “Deceive the Heavens!”


    Along with the shout, its body exploded with countless multicolored beams of light. The nearby Cultivators trembled as wisps of Qi began to emerge from the tops of their heads. The strands of Qi floated up into the sky and merged together with the light to form a huge.


    In the middle of its descent, the red lightning suddenly hesitated, as if it couldn’t locate Meng Hao’s aura.


    “Ultimate Vexation, get over and help, b*tch!” the parrot roared.


    The meat jelly hesitated for only a moment. Then, a pop could be heard as its body suddenly transformed into a million illusory phantoms that shot up into the air to form a second.


    The Tribtion clouds in the sky seethed, and more lightning bolts writhed about, apparently searching for Meng Hao’s aura.


    “Luckily you’re asleep, Heavens of Ji!” cried the parrot arrogantly. “Only a sliver of your will exists. Maybe I couldn’t fool your true self, but you think I can’t hoodwink a bit of your will? Lord Fifth is omniscient! Alright, all I have to do is hold on for three days, and this Tribtion can be dyed for sure!” As soon as the words were out of its mouth, the red lightning bolt descended. Being unable to find Meng Hao’s aura, it shot toward the firstrge.


    A boom could be heard as the illusory shattered. The hundreds of Cultivators surrounding Meng Hao spat up blood and then, with the exception of the three Patriarchs, all of them... instantly exploded.


    The three Patriarchs coughed up blood, and their bodies shrank and withered. Inside, cracks spread out across their Cores, as if they might copse at any moment. After a moment, their eyes grew clear and their faces filled with astonishment and fear. They retreated at top speed, scalps numb. The only thing they could think about was running away!


    “Bitch! Why don’t you keep searching for the correct will!” raged the parrot. “Instead, you’re just blowing random things up! You’re, you’re, you’re... you’re cheating! Fine, so can Lord Fifth! I’ll screw you to death! Tribtion schmibtion! Lord Fifth is gonna screw you to death! Ultimate Vexation,e help me, b*tch! Turn those clouds into my favorite Fluffy!” It seemed to feel its dignity had been severely challenged. With a howl of rage, it bit down on one of its own multicolored feathers, then whipped its head about and threw it down. Eyes brimming with insanity, its body suddenly grewrger andrger, and it shot up into the sky.


    It flew at high speed directly into the Tribtion clouds!


    At the same time, a beam of light shot out from the meat jelly, seemingly a bit resentfully. It entered into the Tribtion clouds and spread out through all of them. Suddenly, the clouds began to twist and distort. Meng Hao gaped open mouthed as he saw the Tribtion clouds begin to change shape.


    They changed into... a gargantuan, plump animal, covered with white fur.


    The luxuriant furriness of this animal is difficult to describe. The fur draped off of the enormous creature which stretched out for thousands of kilometers in every direction, sorge you couldn’t see from one end to the other.


    As for the parrot, it gave an excited squawk as it dove into the fur. It emerged again in a moment, but showed no signs of being tired, instead diving enthusiastically back in from a different angle. This process repeated over and over again.


    As Meng Hao watched on, his mind went nk. He could never have possibly imagined that the Tribtion clouds could be changed into this appearance....


    What had previously been a very solemn and momentous asion, had suddenly turned somewhatical....


    Meng Hao shook his head. Suddenly, the furry Tribtion cloud let out a massive boom. The countless lightning bolts dissipated in all directions. Within the cloud, the parrot was visible, its body dark, but still stubbornly persisting.


    “Fluffy, I’m gonna screw you to death. Wench! I’m definitely gonna screw you to death!” The excited parrot didn’t seem to want to stop.


    However, the masses of lightning in the area began to fall, apanied by thunderous booms. They shot toward Meng Hao, seemingly without number, tens of thousands of them. Meng Hao’s scalp went numb. The Heavenly Tribtion when he had acquired his Perfect Foundation had seemed solemn and imposing in its desire to destroy all living things.


    But this... the seemingly endless amount of lightning gave off an aura that made Meng Hao feel uneasy. It seemed that this Tribtion sent against his Perfect Gold Core had somehow changed, thanks to the interference of the parrot.


    As the lightning descended toward Meng Hao, the meat jelly let out a disgruntled howl and moved to cover over Meng Hao. A massive boom sounded out, shaking the earth. The lightning mmed onto the meat jelly, causing Meng Hao to shake in trepidation.


    A blinding light filled his eyes that made it impossible to see anything around him. After a very long time, the lightning and thunder gradually faded away. Meng Hao looked back up to find that the massive ball of fur in the sky was gone.


    His eyes widened and he took a deep breath. Everything looked cid, but Meng Hao knew that such massive quantities of Tribtion clouds couldn’t possibly vanish like this. The sense of crisis he’d felt because of the Heavenly Tribtion had not departed.


    The pitch-ck parrot fell to the ground with a flopping sound. It struggled to its feet and then pped itself roughly on the chest.


    It was panting. Its expression was somewhat listless and its aura weak. However, its voice was as arrogant as ever as it said, “Is Lord Fifth badass or what? The Heavenly Tribtion has been dyed for you. Time to give your profound thanks. Without Lord Fifth, it wouldn’t matter if you had Ultimate Vexation here. The Heavenly Tribtion would just keep going on forever until he was smashed to pieces.


    “Don’t get too excited, though. I went all out to dy the Heavenly Tribtion, but there’s no way to tell for how long. You need to get ahold of your Tribtion Transcending Life Form as quickly as possible. Alright, it’s time for Lord Fifth to rest up. Don’t be too moved. Oh, and don’t forget to find some more furry, feathered creatures.” With that, it fell t onto its face. Its body transformed into gray ash which drifted away with the wind. However, along with the ash was a multicolored glow that flew into Meng Hao’s bag of holding.


    Meng Hao’s mind and heart shook. He quickly checked the copper mirror inside the bag of holding. The parrot loved to brag, and wasn’t very reliable, but Meng Hao would never forget how much it had helped him just now.


    Dispersing the Tribtion clouds had seemed simple, but seeing the parrot in the state it had been just now, Meng Hao knew that it had paid a high price for its actions.


    “No need to check on it,” said the meat jellynguidly. Its body was tattered and listless. “It’s not going to die. After it rests for a few days it’ll be fine. Poor me, always struck by lightning. I like eating it, but sometimes I just get so full.” It transformed into a hat which settled onto Meng Hao’s head.


    “You need to be careful,” it continued, its voice growing weaker. “That wicked parrot and I once helped a young girl dy Heavenly Tribtion. Later she got pissed off and tried to kill us. She chased us for years and years. Repaid kindness with enmity. I really hate people like that.” Eventually it trailed off into a muffled murmur, and then stopped talking.


    Meng Hao sat there thinking for a long moment. He looked around, and then waved his hand, causing more than a hundred medicinal pills to fly out. They crumbled in mid-air as they shot toward the unconscious Cultivators that the parrot and the meat jelly had been protecting. After the medicine entered their bodies, the Cultivators trembled, and then slowly began to open their eyes.


    Aftering to their senses, they appeared somewhat confused. It didn’t take long for them topose themselves and begin to look around.


    The mountain, and everything around it, was gone. The medicinal cistern was gone, and the buildings they had constructed were now nothing but crumbled ruins. Theke that had formed was also gone; left behind was only arge crater.


    They looked at it all silently, bitterness filling their hearts. They had gone to a lot of trouble to seek safety in this ce, to find somewhere to practice cultivation in a convenient fashion. But now, everything was gone.


    “The Immortal’s cave is gone,” said Meng Hao. “But I can find you another one!” The more than one hundred Cultivators lifted their heads up to look at him.


    “The medicinal cistern is gone, but I can make you a new one!” This second sentence caused a bright glow to appear in their eyes. It seemed their resolve had been ignited.


    “If you are willing,” said Meng Hao, his voice resonating loudly, “follow me! There is vengeance to be had! The time hase to kill!” He flicked his sleeve and shot up into the air. Behind him followed the more than one hundred Cultivators, their eyes shing with intense killing intent. These were ck Lands Cultivators, and they understood what it meant to exact vengeance!


    Meng Hao’s Spiritual Sense spread out to track down the fleeing Patriarchs from the three great Sects.
