166: Chapter 166 Taking Dragon Saliva and Cultivating in Seclusion, Drawing In Heavenly Tribulation to Break Through to Godhood

Ye Qing sat in the cave for seven days.

During these seven days, he did not touch a drop of water or a grain of rice, only continuously circulating the Hunxu Yandao Scripture to adjust his state to an unprecedented Peak.

Inside his Dantian, the Chaos Nascent Soul looked solemn, inhaling and exhaling the vast Chaos Infant Essence, emitting a gentle and profound light.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Soul, which had become incredibly solid after the Fusion with the heavenly dragon soul crystal, was like a tiny golden sun, blooming with brilliant light and illuminating the entire Sea of Consciousness.

On the morning of the eighth day, as the first ray of sunlight passed through the cracks in the cave and fell upon Ye Qing's face, he slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his eyes, there was a calm, as if an ancient well without ripples, yet also as if it contained a vast starry sky.

He took out the dragon saliva fruit.

The fruit remained warm, beating slightly like a heart, emitting an alluring exotic fragrance and vast life essence. Gazing at this fruit, which had condensed thousands of years of essence from the dragon transformation grass, he did not hesitate any longer and swallowed it.

The dragon saliva fruit melted upon entering his mouth, turning into an indescribable, warm, and overbearing current that slid down his throat into his abdomen.

The next moment, this warm current erupted like a dormant volcano, transforming into a boundless surge of life essence and the Origin force of the Dragon Clan, crazily impacting every inch of his flesh, every Meridian, and every bone in his body!

This power was far greater and much more overbearing than that drop of dragon saliva liquid!

Ye Qing's skin instantly turned crimson, as if flames were burning inside his body. His muscles began to twitch and spasm uncontrollably, as if countless tiny dragons were crazily swimming under his skin. His bones emitted low, rumbling sounds akin to dragon roars, as if they were being forcibly reshaped and evolved by some power!

Intense pain, like a tidal wave, impacted his nerves wave after wave.

However, he kept his spiritual platform clear and his mind focused, circulating the Hunxu Yandao Scripture to guide that violent life essence and Dragon Clan Origin along a specific path through his Meridians, refining it bit by bit and merging it into his flesh, bones, Meridians, and even his Divine Soul.

Under the nourishment of this life essence containing the True Dragon Origin, his Physical Body began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

His muscles became tighter and more powerful, each muscle seeming to contain explosive strength.

His bones became tougher and denser, faintly emitting a layer of gentle pale golden luster, as if cast from the hardest divine iron.

His Meridians became wider and more flexible, capable of accommodating a larger flow of magical power.

Even his blood seemed to have been injected with new vitality, flowing faster and emitting a more vigorous force of Qi and blood, faintly producing a rumbling sound like a rushing great river.

This all-encompassing improvement lasted for three full days and nights.

When that violent life essence was finally completely refined and absorbed, the surface of Ye Qing's body was covered in a thick layer of black filth mixed with Impurities and blood stains.

These were the deep-seated Impurities expelled from his Physical Body during the transformation process.

He exhaled a long breath of turbid air; that breath, like a silver Qi dragon, circled and danced in the air, lingering for a long time.

He opened his eyes, and deep within them, it was as if two golden flames were burning, emitting a soul-captivating majesty.

He clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed capable of shattering the Void Realm with a single punch, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"The dragon saliva fruit is indeed worthy of its reputation. The strength of my Physical Body has reached an unprecedented height. It is only one step away from the legendary 'Sanctification of the Physical Body'."

He stood up and stretched his limbs; his bones emitted a low rumble like dragon roars, shaking off all the filth from his body.

He walked to the cave entrance and looked up at the sky.

He could clearly feel that above his head, in the netherworld, an extremely obscure yet extremely powerful will had locked onto him.

That was the will of the Heavenly Dao.

The Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend.

He felt not the slightest fear; instead, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

He took a step forward, his figure appearing outside the cave, standing in an empty valley. He looked up at the sky and shouted loudly: "Come!"

As if responding to his provocation, the originally clear sky instantly became covered with dark clouds!

A thick layer of tribulation clouds, like ink, centered above his head, rapidly spread in all directions, covering the sky for hundreds of miles completely!

Within the tribulation clouds, lightning snakes danced wildly, electric arcs flickered, emitting a destructive aura!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure that seemed capable of crushing all worlds slowly permeated from the tribulation clouds, enveloping the entire valley!

In the valley, those originally vibrant flowers, plants, and trees trembled and withered under this terrifying pressure, as if the end of the world had arrived!

Ye Qing stood in the center of the valley, his robes flapping wildly in the violent pressure, but his figure remained as steady as a rock, his gaze fixed firmly on the tribulation clouds in the sky.

He knew that the Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation was divided into three levels.

The first level, Lightning Tribulation.

The second level, Heart Tribulation.

The third level, Law Tribulation.

Only by passing these three Heavenly Tribulations could one truly shed their mortal coil and achieve Soul Transformation!

Rumble—!!!

A deafening loud noise exploded between heaven and earth!

The first level, Lightning Tribulation, had descended!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket, silvery-white all over, and emitting a destructive aura, tore through the clouds like an angry silver dragon and struck fiercely towards Ye Qing's crown.

Ye Qing did not even use any Magic Treasure; he simply threw a punch!

Boom—!!!

The silvery-white lightning collided violently with his fist!

The lightning shattered, turning into countless tiny electric arcs that splashed in all directions!

Ye Qing's figure only swayed slightly before stabilizing!

"The first Lightning Tribulation is nothing more than this!"

He laughed loudly and actively met the second, third... and increasingly more lightning bolts that continued to strike down!

Like a war god bathing in lightning, he resisted the Heavenly Tribulation with his Physical Body, using his fists and feet to shatter all those lightning bolts capable of destroying mountains and rivers!

The first level of Lightning Tribulation consisted of eighty-one bolts in total, each stronger than the last!

When the last and strongest purple-black lightning bolt, which seemed capable of destroying everything, was shattered by Ye Qing's punch, his clothes had long since turned to ash, and his skin surface showed some charred marks, but his eyes were still bright, and his aura remained steady!

The first level of Lightning Tribulation, passed!

However, before he could even catch his breath, the second level, Heart Tribulation, had quietly descended!

He only felt his vision blur, and the surrounding scene changed instantly.

It was as if he had returned to his past life, that Earth with advanced technology but lacking Spiritual Qi. He saw familiar streets, familiar skyscrapers, and saw his former relatives, friends, and colleagues...

A voice full of temptation sounded in the depths of his heart: "Ye Qing, come back. This is your home. You already possess enough power in this world. Why continue to take risks? Come back, enjoy life, enjoy immortality..."

A trace of trance appeared in Ye Qing's eyes.

But soon, he regained his clarity.

He sneered and pointed a finger at the illusion!

"Break!"

The illusion before him shattered like a mirror!

His determination was as firm as iron! How could a mere illusion shake his Dao Heart?

The second level, Heart Tribulation, broken!

Just at the moment he broke through the Heart Tribulation—

The third level, the most dangerous Law Tribulation, had descended!

An invisible yet terrifying power that seemed capable of obliterating all Laws surged from the Void Realm like an invisible tide, engulfing Ye Qing!

This power was not aimed at his Physical Body or magical power, but acted directly upon his Divine Soul and the Laws he had comprehended!

It wanted to obliterate his Dao foundation and cast him back into the mortal dust!

Ye Qing let out a muffled groan, feeling as if his Divine Soul were about to be torn apart and crushed by that invisible power! The Chaos Law, Void Law, Star Law, and even the Dragon Clan Law he had comprehended all began to fluctuate violently under the impact of this power, as if they would collapse at any moment!

"Want to obliterate my Dao? Not that easy!"

A ruthless look flashed in Ye Qing's eyes. He kept his spiritual platform clear, gathering all his Divine Soul power and comprehension of Laws together, transforming them into an invisible, incredibly tough Dao foundation, resisting the obliterating power of the Law Tribulation with all his might!

This was a contest of will against Laws!

Silent, yet even more perilous!

Who knows how much time passed; it seemed like an instant, yet also like a billion years.

That power capable of obliterating everything finally slowly receded.

The tribulation clouds in the sky also began to dissipate rapidly, revealing the clear blue sky once again.

A warm, vibrant seven-colored glow fell from the Nine Heavens, enveloping Ye Qing.

Within his body, the magical power that had been exhausted due to Undergoing Tribulation was instantly restored under the nourishment of this seven-colored glow, and it became even purer and more vast!

Inside his Dantian, the Chaos Nascent Soul, which was originally only three inches tall, grew rapidly at a visible speed after absorbing this seven-colored glow, turning into a tiny figure about one foot tall that looked exactly like Ye Qing!

A mysterious aura, completely different from before and seemingly integrated with the entire heaven and earth, emanated from the tiny figure!

Spirit Severing Realm!

Ye Qing had finally successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Spirit Severing Realm!
