Chapter 1383
After all, since the original body is a cultivator of both divine and demonic body refinement and qi refinement, the stronger the physical body, which is like a descendant of the true gods and demons, the more powerful the power that nourishes the soul.
The moment the tortoise-snake primordial spirit manifested, profound runes flowed across the surface of the Purple Mansion Sea like a galaxy. The spiritual energy surrounding Chen Xuan suddenly solidified, transforming into a tangible azure mist that steadily supported him, thus stabilizing his initial stage of the primordial spirit realm.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's Purple Mansion space resembled a vast universe. The nine miniature stars floating in the sky had crisscrossing grooves on their surfaces, as if engraved with ancient heavenly laws. When they absorbed the insights of the Dao, their surfaces burst forth with brilliant light, each flash resembling a resonance between the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, causing the spiritual energy within the Purple Mansion to vibrate violently.
As Chen Xuan broke through to a higher realm, the embryonic divine weapon within his body also began to resonate in a wondrous way. The originally luminous surface of the star began to show intricate patterns, trembling slightly like a living thing awakening, gradually synchronizing with the rhythm of Chen Xuan's heartbeat.
Chen Xuan gazed at all of this, a confident smile slowly curving his lips: "Afterwards, with the help of the Enlightenment Tree, the foundation of the nine Great Dao Divine Weapon embryos will increase dramatically."
As soon as he finished speaking, he had a thought and withdrew his divine sense like a tide. Although he was nearly four thousand miles deep in the ocean, he keenly sensed a powerful pressure gathering from the heavens above.
The oppressive aura was like an invisible chain, spanning endless distances and precisely locking onto his location.
"Breaking through to the Ultimate Yuan Shen Realm means there are a total of thirty-six lightning tribulations this time?" Chen Xuan muttered to himself, his eyes not showing fear but instead burning with fierce fighting spirit.
With a wave of his hand, he stored all the remaining four million catties of Origin Liquid resources in the small tower and cave into his storage magic treasure. Then, he removed his black robe, revealing his manifested Taiyin, outlined with Sun God patterns—a Crimson Bright Divine Body of near perfection.
Chen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in the void, gazing up at the sky. His hair danced wildly in the underwater currents, like a powerful overlord about to challenge the heavens and earth. Recalling the perilous moment when he broke through to the Ultimate Dao Myriad Manifestations Realm, the excruciating pain from the final bolt of lightning still seemed to linger on his skin. But at this moment, Chen Xuan felt only a thirst for greater power.
Meanwhile, deep within the Northern Sea, in the vast sky, tribulation clouds gathered like a colossal beast awakening. These circular clouds blotted out the sun, their edges crackling with eerie purple lightning, resembling a gigantic eye scrutinizing the beings below. The tribulation clouds slowly rotated, and the Heavenly Tribulation Eye at its center emitted a terrifying light, pointing directly at Chen Xuan.
"Zzzzz—" The sound of electricity crackling filled the air, followed by a deafening roar of thunder. Countless bolts of lightning, like silver snakes, tore through the sky, shattering it into countless fragments.
The oppressive force of the tribulation clouds was almost tangible, causing the seawater within a radius of 100,000 miles to boil violently. Some sea monsters and large fish that did not have time to escape were instantly blasted apart by this oppressive force.
On the distant islands, mortals knelt and prayed, believing it was the sea god's wrath; while those with some cultivation, such as the Innate Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm, fled back to their caves with pale faces and hurriedly activated their strongest defensive formations.
"Boom!" The first celestial lightning bolt struck down without warning.
A dazzling white light flashed, so intense that the cultivators watching from afar couldn't open their eyes.
After a long while, a deafening clap of thunder rolled in, its sound waves like an invisible giant hammer slamming into the island. Some of the weaker mortals vomited and fainted on the spot, while those who were lucky enough to remain conscious frantically dragged the injured back to their stone houses, stumbling and trembling as they closed the doors and windows.
As bolts of lightning continued to strike, the Northern Sea descended into chaos. Huge craters were cleaved into the sea, only to be instantly filled by surging waves. The aquatic demons scattered in all directions, but even those who fled hundreds of miles could not escape the ravages of the lightning, turning to ashes amidst screams of agony.
Chen Xuan was at the eye of the storm, his body shimmering with mysterious Dao patterns. Stimulated by the lightning tribulation, these patterns became even more dazzling, sometimes transforming into ancient runes, and sometimes into flowing ribbons of light, as if communicating with heaven and earth.
"The last three!" Having endured the baptism of thirty-three heavenly tribulations, Chen Xuan's divine body was already covered in wounds, but his eyes grew even more determined.
At this moment, over 70% of the lightning tribulation had transformed into golden lightning bolts, each strike creating a water column thousands of feet high on the sea surface. The lightning moved with lightning speed, and its destructive power was terrifying.
Chen Xuan's journey to the secret realm greatly strengthened his divine body, but even so, he still suffered a serious injury under this powerful lightning tribulation, with blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth, which he casually wiped away.
"Whoosh—" A bolt of golden lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck down again, landing squarely on Chen Xuan's shoulder. The powerful impact caused him to lose his airborne posture, and he plummeted towards the rocks below like a meteor.
The extreme Dao patterns on Chen Xuan's body shone brightly, seemingly doing their best to resist this terrifying power, but they were about to reach their limit.
"The thirty-fifth strike!" This bolt of lightning struck Chen Xuan precisely on the head, its powerful force instantly impacting his soul.
Chen Xuan felt a sudden dizziness, as if his soul was about to leave his sea of consciousness. But then he suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, amazing! This heavenly punishment is actually targeting my soul, but unfortunately, compared to my physical body, my soul is much stronger!"
Amidst the excruciating pain, Chen Xuan made an unexpected discovery—the Extreme Tribulation could not only temper the physical body, but also refine the soul.
"The thirty-sixth one, come on!!" Chen Xuan went completely mad. He opened his arms and deliberately pointed his forehead at the eye of the lightning tribulation, his aura rising to its peak.
This provocative act thoroughly enraged the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation. Deep within the tribulation clouds, pale red lightning surged and accumulated like magma, staining the entire world crimson.
"Sizzle—" The final terrifying bolt of lightning struck, its golden and red light illuminating the entire Northern Sea. The seawater within a thousand miles instantly boiled and evaporated, and all aquatic creatures were reduced to nothingness before they could even scream under this lightning punishment.
As the last bolt of lightning dissipated, the sky-covering, sun-obscuring clouds slowly dispersed.
The dark golden rays of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the clouds and fell on the shimmering sea, as if the creature that had angered the sea god had turned to ashes, or that there had never been any tribulation or tribulation clouds from beginning to end.
However, such a huge commotion had already alarmed the Yuan Shen Daoist team of the local sea overlords – the Beishan Clan.
A colossal magical warship, high in the sky, crushed through the air currents and clouds at incredible speed. This magical warship, approximately fifty meters tall, featured a three-story jade-tiled pavilion about a hundred feet long, with a dragon's head at the front and a dragon's tail at the back. A dense, shimmering array of protective formations surrounded it, creating a truly terrifying sight. Three battle flags thundered, each bearing three large, pictographic characters: "Beishan Clan."
The Beishan Clan is not merely a feudal lord in the Xuanxiao World; the entire vast territory of the Northern Sea is under the rule of the Beishan King. The strength of their tribal foundation is even greater than that of the Nalan Clan.
