The Demon God System
Five Pillars of Mortal Realm Power

The Heavenly Tribulation lightning test had indeed been successfully passed by Zhou Tian. However, deep in the Middle Continent of the Mortal Realm, the five figures that people dubbed as the five pillars of Mortal Realm power, they could still sense the remnants of the existence of Heavenly Lightning.

From the very beginning of sensing the existence of the Heavenly Lightning, the five decided to gather in the palace hall of the Five Immortals. A magnificent palace in the center of the Central Continent which was their residence. For the naming of the Five Gods palace, the name was chosen because the inhabitants of the palace were the five strongest figures in the Mortal Realm, which many people considered them Gods.

The five figures of the old man who were dubbed the five pillars of the power of the Mortal Realm, were currently sitting in their respective places, and there was no one else but them. The palace hall which was usually the meeting place of important people in the Central Continent, now inside the palace hall there were only five people who were both still silent.

“The Heavenly Lightning that appears is not from the Middle Continent, but from the Continent that we have never noticed,” said Ning Qiao, the Western pillar.

“South Continent which is said to be the weakest Continent of the five Continents in the Mortal Realm, which since thousands of years ago has never given birth to a strong cultivator. The figure of the strongest cultivator that ever existed in the Continent only had strength in the Early Nirvana realm, and therefore all this time rarely or even never anyone noticed the existence of the Southern Continent This time it was Hui Bei, the Southern pillar who spoke.

“Because indeed since the beginning no one has ever noticed the existence of the Southern Continent, at this time we really do not know what is happening in the Continent,” said Song Nan, said, the East pillar.

“According to you, what made that Heavenly Lightning so powerful appear in the Southern Continent? Is it possible that in that place there is a human figure that managed to surpass the power of the Saint realm, or instead it happened to one of the demons in that place?” Xiao Xifang, the Northern pillar asked his four brothers.

Only the humans and demons he mentioned because after Xiao Xifang the strongest demon figure was Mo Sigui, and his existence was not in the Southern Continent but rather in the Eastern Continent.

“Man in the Continent is certainly still as weak as in the past. It was likely that there were demons in that Continent who managed to break through a realm higher than Saint realm.” Jiang Feng, the Middle pillar who rarely spoke, finally made a sound.

“Why do you only guess between humans and demons? What if your guess is wrong?” Ning Qiao asked as she stared alternately at her four brothers.

“Brother Qiao, who else if not among humans and demons can do that? Did brother Qiao think the Heavenly Lightning appeared because of the demon race? Brother Qiao, the strongest demon in this Mortal Realm is Mo Sigui, and he is in the Eastern Continent instead of the Southern Continent. While the demons in the Southern Continent, since thousands of years ago they are a group of trashy demons,” Xiao Xifang said.

The other three people nodded their heads in agreement, but not with Ning Qiao who was just silent not intending to respond to Xiao Xifang's remark.

“To be more certain, how about we send a small group of warriors of the Five Gods palace to the Southern Continent? All of them we can know the development of the Continent.” Song Nan expressed her advice.

“I'll send five elite warriors of the Five Gods palace!” Quickly Jiang Feng decided.

Although they only held the title of elite warriors in the Five Gods palace, but with their strength residing in the Early Saint realm, if they were anywhere else, their existence would be greatly respected and respected. However, they felt much more honored to be part of the elite warriors of the Five Gods palace, compared to being a respectable figure elsewhere.

After agreeing to send the five elite warriors of the Five Gods palace to the Southern Continent to uncover the truth, the meeting of the five pillars of the power of the Mortal Realm ended, and they returned to their respective places. But unbeknownst to his four brothers, Ning Qiao sent his five personal soldiers to ascertain the state of the Southern Continent.

“Half of the blood in this body is the blood of the demon race that came from my mother, and I feel the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation that appeared is closely related to the existence of the demon race. If all that was true, soon there would be the day of the resurrection of the demon race in the Mortal Realm.” Ning Qiao muttered, staring at the departure of his five personal warriors, all five of whom were like him, possessing a mixture of demon and human blood.

The Southern Continent.

“Hah, the forest around me is completely destroyed!” zhou Tian exclaimed as soon as he completed his breakthrough, which with the addition of the two breakthrough rewards from the system, his current strength was already at the level of the Perfect Immortal realm.

With his current strength, if faced with thousands of figures like Mo Sigui, he simply waved his hand, to turn them all to ashes. The difference in strength of the Immortal realm and Saint realm was extremely far away. Even if there were tens of thousands of cultivators with strength at the Perfect Saint realm, not necessarily they could subvert an Immortal who was just at the Early level.

Moreover, to deal with Zhou Tian whose strength was already at the level of the Perfect Immortal realm. No matter how many Saint realm cultivators there were, they had no chance of winning when faced with Zhou Tian.

“Hopefully in the next few years this place has returned to a dense forest! For now, I'd better get back! Ying’er and the others are definitely waiting for my arrival!”

Not delaying time, after storing back the Dark Dragon sword and changing his clothes with clean clothes that were always available inside his storage ring, at full speed Zhou Tian moved back to Demon City.

“Gege, actually from anywhere? Why did it disappear just like that after it finished burning the corpses of the demon kingdom army of the Eastern Continent, and what did Gege know about the lightning rampage of the newly occurring Heavenly Tribulation?”

Right now Zhu Ying and the four others were with Zhou Tianhe palace hall of Demonic City, and out of concern Zhu Ying asked Zhou Tian many questions.

“Ying’er, I just went to a place far enough away to make a breakthrough, and as for the Heavenly Tribulation lightning that just appeared obviously I knew it because the lightning was there because of the breakthrough I made!”

Clarifying what exactly happened to him, Zhou Tian explained to all of them that he had just broken through to the Immortal realm.

Knowing all that, Zhu Ying and the four others smiled happily as Zhou Tian managed to surpass Saint realm, and grew into an increasingly powerful figure.

“Congratulations, Gege successfully broke through the Immortal realm.” Zhu Ying became the first to congratulate, only after did four others congratulate him.

Of course Zhou Tian was happy to get congratulations from them, and immediately he was reminded of the additional reward of the system.

“System, I want to use the ten breakthrough rewards for them, and I want each of them to get twice the breakthrough!” Zhou Tian spoke to the system.

[That's something that's very easy to do, but I want to warn Master that the four of them will receive a bolt of Heavenly Lightning purifying souls after successfully breaking through the Saint realm. So, I hope Master takes them out of Demon City to avoid damage and casualties!]

Zhou Tian clearly knew who the four people meant, and he just immediately took them including Zhu Ying away from Ilbis City.

Dying Demon City, Zhou Tian led them to a hill only a dozen kilometers away from Demon City. “System, do it now!” His command on the system while staring at the bewildered faces of Zhu Ying and the four others.

[Give a breakthrough reward twice to Zhu Ying, Zhou Lin, Zhu Ning, Zhou Gang, and Zhu Rong. The gift-giving process will take place in, 10..9.8..7..6..5..4.3.2.1... The process was completed and they would soon gain two consecutive breakthroughs, and as a reward from the foundation system their strength would also grow stronger, as their cultivation realm increased]

Just now that he had also finished hearing the sound of the system, Zhou Tian was able to sense the increase in the strength of Zhu Ying and the others.

Sensing that, Zhou Tian hurriedly separated Zhu Ying with the other four people who were about to break through to the Saint realm immediately. As for Zhu Ying, before long he would break through to the level of a Perfect Saint realm, one step left to break through to the Immortal realm.

“I just gave you something that can increase your strength quickly, as well as your strength foundation!”

Just as Zhou Tian finished speaking, Zhu Ying and the four others felt a surge of strength from their bodies, and immediately they positioned themselves seated cross-legged filled with calmness.

Zhou Lin became the first to get a breakthrough, only after did the others get a breakthrough, and Zhu Ying became the last.

Raising his head to look at the existence of the lightning clouds, Zhou Tian knew that before long Heavenly Lightning would appear.

Knowing that, he quickly went to keep his distance because he did not want to interfere with the process of increasing the strength of Zhou Lin and the others. For Zhu Ying, Zhou Tian had created a protective array capable of protecting him from the ill effects of Heavenly Lightning.

Floating not far from Zhu Ying, Zhou Tian smiled at the Heavenly Lightning that started to snatch at his companions.

“After they successfully break through the Saint realm, the Demon Kingdom will I hand over to them, and I will begin my journey around the Mortal Realm to free the demon race from slavery!”
