80: Chapter 80 Taking the Body as the Way, Yang Power, the Beginning of Rise

Ten years later.

Nine Realms Tower.

Ye Xiu, who had entered the Godly Azure Realm, spent a full five years before he finally grasped the threshold within his Sea of Consciousness and how to break through it.

Heavenly Emperor Sutra.

As the Heavenly Emperor Sutra entered its third level.

Ye Xiu could clearly see that the Martial Domain rules he controlled were actually gradually transforming into a drivable power within his Bloodline.

If one were to give this power a name.

It would be Rule Power.

It was merging into his Bloodline and bones, attempting to replace the function of his physical body's strength.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

In the Godly Azure Realm, his physical strength had already reached a staggering 50 million.

This terrifying physical strength was significantly stronger than the Rule Power being converted, and as they fused, neither was willing to submit to the other.

They turned into two types of power, confronting each other within his Bloodline.

Yet even so.

At this moment, Ye Xiu paid no attention to the conflict of powers within his body.

Within his Sea of Consciousness.

As the characters of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra rotated.

That threshold, like a shackle of heaven and earth, began to shatter.

Finally, with a bang.

It exploded like a wooden door shattering.

After the threshold shattered, the Heavenly Emperor Sutra immediately generated countless flames, completely igniting the Sea of Consciousness.

This flame was like the fire of Dao, formless and intangible, burning the aura of Origin.

As time passed.

The flames extended from his Sea of Consciousness to his entire body.

The physical strength and Rule Power in a stalemate were covered by the flames; the two originally extremely violent powers actually began to gradually stabilize under the burning of the flames.

Sizzle...

Ye Xiu's entire body flashed with golden brilliance.

Like unhammered divine iron, he was completely ignited by the unknown flames.

As time passed.

His Origin aura was gradually changing.

A new type of power began to condense within his Bloodline and bones.

This power was extremely domineering; once it appeared, it immediately suppressed the two opposing powers.

Sizzle...

The physical strength and Rule Power were gradually devoured.

That newly appeared Supreme Yang Power also became increasingly formidable while devouring.

This state lasted for a long time.

When Yang Power no longer generated within his body, the flames transformed from the Heavenly Emperor Sutra immediately ceased.

Thump, thump, thump...

Ye Xiu's heartbeat grew stronger.

This was a different Tongtian Realm; on the path of Using Body as Dao, he had taken his first step.

At this moment, Ye Xiu was different from everyone else in this world.

Originally, after a Cultivator reached the Tongtian Realm, Rule Power would replace physical strength and become the main combat force.

The rules they controlled.

Would also have appropriate amplification based on the magnitude of the Rule Power.

And the conversion of Rule Power was determined by the strength of the rules a Cultivator controlled.

Such as the Immunity to Ten Thousand Laws within Ye Xiu's body.

After entering the Tongtian Realm, it converted into nine strands of Rule Power.

In other words, a T0-level Dao of Rules could convert into 9 strands of Rule Power.

His physical strength of 50 million was slightly stronger than the Rule Power.

It had the strength of 11 strands of Rule Power.

The two combined.

That was 20 strands of Rule Power.

It could be said that the Tongtian Realm was the explosive point for a Cultivator's combat power; in this Realm, physical improvement was too small.

No wonder Xing Mu had said before.

The Tongtian Realm was the watershed for Cultivators.

The Breakthrough rate was truly low, only a one in a million chance.

Ordinary Cultivators, unless they were those with peerless talent, would likely never succeed in breaking through.

Thinking about it now.

It was indeed the case.

The combat power amplification in this Realm was too high.

Rules could condense into the main attacking force; just 1 strand of Rule Power could go head-to-head with physical strength of 5 million intensity.

The physical advantage of divine bodies no longer existed.

However, the Bloodline rules of divine bodies were basically T0-level Daos of Rules, and the base number of converted Rule Power was always 9 strands of Rule Power.

Their strength still crushed ordinary Cultivators.

Therefore, the changes in the Tongtian Realm.

Had both advantages and disadvantages.

Of course.

Martial Skill amplification no longer applied to Rule Power.

But the strength of techniques evolved from rules would become increasingly formidable with the amplification of Rule Power.

In other words.

After Rule Power amplified a technique, it could still deal amplified damage.

There were only two ways to amplify Rule Power.

Either increase the number of rules one controlled, or increase the level of control over one's own rules.

And Ye Xiu's Yang Power.

Was different from Rule Power.

It was an advanced version of physical strength; purely in terms of intensity, it was far superior to Rule Power, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to devour it.

In the flames transformed from the Heavenly Emperor Sutra.

With the strength of his physique, he had only managed to refine three strands of Yang Power.

These three strands of Yang Power, after devouring the physical strength and Rule Power, increased by a small amount, reaching the level of 5 strands of Yang Power.

The intensity of Yang Power was ten times that of Rule Power.

That was equivalent to the strength of 50 strands of Rule Power for an ordinary Cultivator.

The Tongtian Realm had no distinction of grades.

When Rule Power reached 100, it was the Godly Realm.

If 100 strands of Rule Power were amplified in a rule-based technique, it would likely be truly like a god, becoming the Supreme God in the eyes of ordinary people.

But Ye Xiu's Yang Power was different from that.

This power was an advanced form of physical strength and could still be amplified by Martial Skills.

With his current strength.

Under the eight-fold amplification of the second stage of Pride of the World, the Yang Power in his body would directly reach a staggering 40 strands, which was equivalent to the strength of 400 strands of Rule Power.

One punch down.

Even a god would likely be beaten to death.

Besides that.

The Rule Power transformed from the Immunity to Ten Thousand Laws, after being devoured by Yang Power, had its rule attributes completely absorbed.

This meant that.

Yang Power attacks not only came with the effect of breaking laws but could also protect himself like a Martial Domain.

In other words.

Immunity to Ten Thousand Laws had become a passive special effect of Yang Power.

"With my current strength, I should be able to handle the first Heavenly Tribulation."

Ye Xiu slowly stood up.

He opened the ancient door of the Nine Realms Tower.

Outside.

Dark clouds were dense, and thunder and lightning flashed.

The aura of world destruction almost crushed this world.

Thunder Dragons formed the momentum of ten thousand dragons, crazily charging at the Nine Realms Tower.

"Heavenly Tribulation?"

Ye Xiu was slightly stunned; after he stepped into the cultivation of Using Body as Dao, he had actually triggered a Heavenly Tribulation?

It seemed that this Main World truly could not accommodate the cultivation system within the Ancient Heavenly Art.

Even a Heavenly Tribulation had appeared.

Crackle...

Thunder Dragons roared.

Crazily charging at the Nine Realms Tower on the mountaintop.

Under the baptism of thunder and fire, the Nine Realms Tower remained unmoved, only its tower body was covered in a layer of dazzling thunder light.

"Is this tower also the work of the Imperial Court? Even the Heavenly Tribulation cannot shake it..."

Ye Xiu looked at the Nine Realms Tower radiating thunder light.

He felt some emotion in his heart, then chuckled and flew directly into the Heavenly Tribulation.

The moment he entered the tribulation clouds.

The already roaring Thunder Dragons became even crazier; the crackling thunder light, like a doomsday catastrophe, directly shattered the earth.

A boundless world of thunder light.

Ye Xiu was wrapped in lightning, and he let out a roar.

"Tiangang Body Protection, activate."

Yang Power transformed into a barrier, instantly forming a golden barrier around him.

Boom...

Endless roars exploded on the barrier.

But no matter how terrifying the thunder was, it still could not break through the golden barrier formed by Yang Power.

Ye Xiu stood in the thunder light, just quietly watching the Thunder Dragons filling the sky charging at the barrier around him; he did not attack, just waited quietly like that.

At this moment, Tiangang Body Protection.

Was no longer the barrier once composed of blood energy.

But was composed of Yang Power.

Under the five-fold amplification of Tiangang Body Protection, the defensive power of the golden barrier at this moment had the strength of 250 strands of Rule Power.

This defensive power.

Was likely difficult to break even for a Cultivator who had just entered the Saint Realm.

One had to know that Ye Xiu had only just stepped into the cultivation system of Using Body as Dao.

If he were to completely perfect Using Body as Dao, he would immediately reach the Realm of 'I am Dao, and Dao is me'.

This Realm corresponded to the position of Heavenly Venerable.

That was, Dao Lord.
