85: Carving Field

In the center of the Sea of Consciousness, Xiao Zhuo's Divine Soul slowly stood up, transforming into a streak of light, and shot straight towards the Taishi Space, which had just been drawn in and was suspended in the Chaos Void Realm!

With a light touch of Divine Thought, the Taishi Space disintegrated like Colored Glazeinto scattered points of light! The core of the calamity eye, trapped within, suddenly erupted!

The boiling seven-colored Lightning Tribulation exploded with a roar, and violent plasma surged and raged, instantly incinerating the free Divine Thought drifting in the Sea of Consciousness into nothingness!

Xiao Zhuo's Divine Soul bloomed with a brilliant golden radiance like Colored Glaze, following the ineffable Throbbingdeep within his Bloodline, and suddenly—it plunged into the very core of the Thunder Intent vortex!

The violent electric light, powerful enough to tear apart the Divine Soul, swept over with a world-destroying roar, but the moment it touched his soul body, it transformed from tempered steel into a soft silk, becoming a strange spiritual liquid as warm as jade, merging thread by thread into the Origin of his Divine Soul!

Xiao Zhuo keenly noticed that the long-dormant innate Divine Ability, Divine Thunder, on his panel began to tremble violently!

It seemed that this innate Divine Ability, originating from his Bloodline, was finally about to undergo a metamorphosis today! Devouring the calamity eye of the Heavenly Tribulation to upgrade a Divine Ability? Such a Heaven-Defying act was unheard of! His innate Divine Ability was indeed extraordinary!

Above the clouds, the figure entwined with profound thunder patterns had stood silently for half an hour.

After the tribulation clouds dissipated, the sky was as clear and transparent as if washed clean. The Yuyang Sect Disciples still held their breath, no one daring to disturb the formidable Physical Body that seemed to merge with heaven and earth.

Until the young man's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes! Deep within his pupils, a wisp of golden light flashed like a swimming Dragon and disappeared. The terrifying aura that had emanated from him, making people's hearts palpitate, was completely locked back into his seemingly ordinary Physical Body like a tide, without a single trace leaking out!

"Junior Martial Nephew Xiao's technique for concealing his aura... is truly terrifying!" Li Miaoyi gazed at the sturdy figure standing in the air, a soft sigh escaping her throat, "It's clearly visible to the naked eye, yet sweeping it with Divine Sense is like probing the Void Realm!"

"Of course! Whose Disciple do you think he is!" Xuan Lun chugged a mouthful of strong liquor, which dripped down his gnarled short beard, his face full of smugness.

"If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Zhuo joined the Sect with his own Cultivation Technique?" Immortal Master Xuan Yun timely popped his inflated bubble of smugness.

"He's still my legitimate Senior Disciple!" Xuan Lun glared, his neck stiff, his voice like a great bell, "No matter how glorious he becomes in the future, even if he breaks through the nine heavens, when he sees this old man, he still has to respectfully call out—Master!"

Xiao Zhuo had fully recovered, and the core of the calamity eye, which contained the will of the Heavenly Dao, had been completely absorbed and refined by him.

He looked back in the direction of the Yuyang Sect and took a step into the air! Under his feet, the Void Realm actually generated flashing thunder patterns!

He walked as if on flat ground, a thousand zhang with each step!

In a few breaths, his figure had already crossed the sky and landed back in his small courtyard on Xuanyuan Peak. This miraculous return path caused the Disciples below to exclaim repeatedly, their eyes dazzled and mesmerized.

The young girls' cheeks flushed, and they whispered:

"Senior Brother Xiao is really too... too dazzling! I heard he's only nineteen!"

"Yes! If Senior Brother Xiao could look at me more, even being a concubine would be..."

"Oh, please, with your figure, even I wouldn't fancy you!"

"Wang Mazi! You dog, are you itching for a beating?"

"Ouch! Senior Sister, spare me!"

Xiao Zhuo's Undergoing Tribulation was like a giant rock thrown into a lake, stirring up ripples and constant commotion across the various Peaks of the Yuyang Sect.

In the quiet bamboo courtyard behind Zhenyang Peak. A young man with picturesque features, so handsome he seemed not of this world, was staring intently at the disappearing slender figure in the sky, his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, his knuckles white.

"Xiao Zhuo... I, Dongfang Bai, will never lose to you!" Complex emotions surged within him, a mix of envy for such power, and a burning Battle Intent and an unwilling desire to catch up!

He was once the most brilliant Prodigy of the Yuyang Sect, Body Tempering at nine, True Qi at thirteen, opening acupoints at twenty, and reaching the Peak of the Return to Truth Realm at twenty-five!

Now twenty-seven, if not for his obsession with breaking through to the legendary "Thousand-Mile Divine Sea," he would have already broken through!

The Sect's grand competition was postponed for some reason, preventing him from competing with Xiao Zhuo, but now the other party was like the blazing sun in the sky... But Dongfang Bai's pride would not allow him to admit defeat!

A flash of light, and four spiritual, alluring fruits appeared in his palm—these were the dragon blood fruit and Enlightenment Fruit Xiao Zhuo had brought back! Immortal Master Xuan Wei had immediately handed them all over to his most valued Disciple.

This Sect Master valued the Sect more than himself, possessing extraordinary talent yet willing to dedicate himself, which was also why Immortal Master Xuan Qing entrusted the Sect to him.

Dongfang Bai's slender fingers picked up a dragon blood fruit and unhesitatingly put it into his mouth.

Carefully putting away the remaining three, he turned and walked into the quiet room, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

This time in seclusion, he swore not to emerge until he broke through to the Thousand-Mile Divine Sea!

Xiao Zhuo was completely unaware of this. He had already briefly greeted Xuan Wei and the other five and returned to his own small courtyard.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon in the courtyard, his mind once again sank into his Sea of Consciousness.

The gains from this Heavenly Tribulation were far more than just Thunder Tribulation Saber Intent!

With the help of the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye, he had actually captured a trace of a higher-level, profound fragment of the Heavenly Dao Law from the destructive Lightning Tribulation!

At this moment, within his Sea of Consciousness, a vast power of Concept surged like a tide.

By virtue of his Perfection in Thunder Intent, he not only pushed his Saber Intent to Perfection but also found the opportunity for the two to perfectly merge, ultimately forging his unique Thunder Tribulation Saber Intent!

Now, what he needed to do was to completely integrate this new Thunder Tribulation Saber Intent, which contained a trace of Heavenly Dao Law, into the core of the Tiangang Saber Domain, and evolve it to its ultimate form—the Thunder Tribulation Blade Domain!

Only by controlling a complete Domain could one truly step into the Peak combat power of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

For powerhouses of the eighth realm, a Domain was almost standard. Those who could reach this step were all peerless Geniuses. Xiao Zhuo's ability to kill Blood Night before largely relied on the Heaven-Defying Divine Soul attack of the True Explanation of Soul Refining.

If he hadn't used this Divine Ability, relying solely on his Tiangang Saber Domain at the time, under the suppression of Blood Night's blood-colored Domain, it would probably have collapsed quickly, and the outcome would have been uncertain.

Young Geniuses, whether Human Race or demonic, had limited energy and often specialized in a few Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities; those who could cultivate them to "subtlety" were rare.

But Xiao Zhuo... was an anomaly! His core Cultivation Techniques—True Explanation of Soul Refining, Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture, and the Purgatory Demonic Body formed by their Fusion—were all peerless Legacies that dominated their respective ranks, and he had pushed them all to an extraordinary realm!

Law, Physical Body, and Divine Soul advanced simultaneously, all reaching extremely high attainments!

Looking across the Yuan Realm, apart from the few Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) magnates who controlled Law and the demonic ancestors, Xiao Zhuo was already considered invincible.

However, the confrontation between Immortal Master Azure Heaven and the Blood Ancestor made him realize with utmost clarity that between the Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) and the Myriad Manifestations Realm, there was a true chasm!

It was by no means something that Cultivation Techniques or Divine Abilities could easily bridge.

After cultivating the Thunder Tribulation Blade Domain, the matter of resolving the remaining Devilish Qi in the Taiyi Sect would be put on the agenda.

After that, it would be about hunting more high-level demonic beasts, accumulating Attribute Points, and striving for the supreme Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class)!

However, that was a story for later.

At this moment, within the Sea of Consciousness.

The peculiar rune symbolizing the Origin of Thunder Tribulation Saber Intent, entwined with golden thunder and the aura of tribulation and destruction, was deeply imprinted in the core of his Divine Soul.

Xiao Zhuo's entire mind was focused on the ancient rune suspended before his Divine Soul—the core rune of the Tiangang Saber Domain!

This diamond-shaped rune, exuding a sharp edge, originally had a miniature saber shadow embedded in its center, connected to the Saber Intent rune.

Now, the old Saber Intent rune had been extracted and refined. What Xiao Zhuo needed to do was to reshape the form of this Domain's core rune, so that the "groove" in its center, which symbolized the source of power, could perfectly fit the new Thunder Tribulation Saber Intent rune!

Divine Thought condensed, transforming into an invisible carving knife, and with his understanding of Law and control over power, he began to meticulously carve and refine!

Time flowed in the silence of the Sea of Consciousness. In the central area of the diamond-shaped rune, the saber-shaped groove, under the carving of the Divine Thought knife, gradually twisted and expanded. The ancient patterns were rewritten, eventually transforming into a more ferocious and domineering core interface, entwined with dense patterns of tribulation and destruction!

Xiao Zhuo's will moved!

At the core of his Divine Soul, the Thunder Tribulation Saber Intent rune entwined with golden thunder suddenly lit up, transforming into a streak of light, and embedded itself with unparalleled precision into the core groove of the Domain rune!

It fit perfectly! Becoming one!

In an instant, the powerful and domineering Thunder Tribulation Saber Intent, like a burst dam, began to madly infiltrate and transform the entire Domain rune!

The ancient and intricate patterns on the rune, driven by the power of the new core, began to writhe, disintegrate, and reorganize like living things!

Xiao Zhuo's vast Divine Thought power also surged like rivers, continuously pouring into the rune, accelerating this ultimate evolution of rebirth!
