231: Taoist soldiers are trained, and thunder tribulation comes again

In a flash, half a month had passed.

On this day, Lu Chen within the Divine Hall suddenly crushed thousands upon thousands of high-grade spiritual stones, swallowing the spiritual energy within in one gulp.

After another hour, Lu Chen once again took out tens of thousands of spiritual stones and crushed them.

This was repeated until the next day, when a faint aura fluctuation, light as a breeze, suddenly flashed across Lu Chen's body before disappearing.

"Finally broken through!"

The Late Stage of the Dao Embryo Realm!

Lu Chen took a deep breath, then took out two high-grade spiritual stones, slowly circulated his Cultivation Technique, and stabilized his Realm.

Earth Dragon Liquid truly lived up to its name as a heavenly material and earthly treasure. Just one bowl allowed him to break through from the Middle Stage of the Dao Embryo to the Late Stage of the Dao Embryo Realm. Although it was still just shy at the end, forcing Lu Chen to waste a large amount of spiritual stones to make up for this momentum, without this bowl of Earth Dragon Liquid, even with more spiritual stones for Lu Chen to squander, he might not have been able to cross this threshold in just half a month.

Upon internal inspection, it could be clearly seen that the Immortal Embryo in the Jiangong Golden Citadel, which had exceeded the nine cun nine limit, seemed to have a tendency to climb upwards and enter the Zifu.

This indicated that Lu Chen already had the qualification to assault the Yin God.

Once his cultivation broke through to the perfected Dao Embryo, his Immortal Embryo would completely detach from the Jiangong Golden Citadel, directly enter the Zifu, fuse with his Divine Soul, and achieve the Yin Spirit Realm.

This step was not far from Lu Chen!

Additionally, breaking through another Realm meant that another eighty Dao Soldiers could be nurtured within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

Lu Chen immersed his consciousness into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin and, from among the numerous Deep Sea Giant Demons, selected the eighty strongest Yin God Grand Demons as Dao Soldier seeds, beginning to nurture the Dao Soldiers.

"Unfortunately, among these Deep Sea Giant Demons, there isn't even a single Yang Spirit Great Demon!" He felt quite regretful.

But Lu Chen could probably guess that the demons of the Jiyuan Sea, after reaching the Yang Spirit Realm, could be unaffected by the Jiyuan Sea and would no longer be the deformed Demon Clan dominated by slaughter and ferocity.

Therefore, when he came to the Jiyuan Sea, he proactively released Dao Soldiers to expel demons below the deep sea, but he never encountered a single Yang Spirit Great Demon. That terrifying old turtle was an exception and wasn't counted.

After that, Zu Shou used his accompanying Spirit Treasure to summon numerous Deep Sea Giant Demons, among which no Yang Spirit Great Demons appeared. The only Grand Demon that appeared was that Octopus, but this was a peak Yang Spirit Great Demon with other hidden meanings and likewise couldn't be counted.

However, it didn't matter. Even if there were Yang Spirit Great Demons, they would have to be left for his Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers. Only then could their strength be maximized. Ordinary Dao Soldiers were far incomparable to Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers.

Twenty days later, Lu Chen, who was stabilizing his cultivation, suddenly trembled slightly. From within his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, a surging feedback force poured into his body. The eighty Divine Travel Dao Soldiers he had nurtured when breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Dao Embryo had been completed.

However, for Lu Chen, who had already reached the Body Refinement Yang God Realm, this feedback force was not enough to support him in breaking through another Realm, but his Body Refinement strength still took a significant step forward because of it.

The thirtieth day.

Lu Chen once again felt a feedback force surge from within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

But this time, the feedback force was vast and mighty, giving Lu Chen even the illusion that he was about to explode!

"My one thousand four hundred and fifteen Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers are complete!"

There was no time to check what Divine Powers these one thousand four hundred and fifteen Divine Travel Dao Soldiers, nurtured using accompanying Spirit Treasures as seeds, possessed. This was because the miraculous power fed back from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin upon the completion of these Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers was too immense.

So immense that even though Lu Chen had entered the Body Refinement Yang God Realm, he couldn't digest it in a short time!

At this moment, Lu Chen's golden qi and blood erupted, instantly transforming into a ten-zhang tall heavenly Gang divine spirit behind him. Golden and radiant, majestic and vast, accompanied by immortal intent, although the pressure was deliberately restrained by Lu Chen, it still caused Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin, who were present, to tremble.

Even Shaman Feng Jie couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the heavenly Gang divine spirit behind Lu Chen: "Golden qi and blood, sacred immortal aura, this guy has formed an Immortal Embryo!"

His expression was filled with awe!

The Heavenly Pride from all sides only thought Lu Chen's strength relied on his heaven-reaching Puppet Technique and those strange Puppets. But who knew that Lu Chen's own strength could also crush the contemporary era, making him one of the strongest existences as well!

Unfortunately, they could never see through what Lu Chen's accompanying Spirit Treasure truly was!

However, not being able to see through it was also a good thing. Otherwise, given Lu Chen's dark-hearted nature, who knows what might happen.

Feng Jie silently withdrew his gaze and activated the Divine Hall, causing the outside world to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist.

The commotion from Lu Chen's Breakthrough was too great. Although the Divine Hall inherently had the characteristic of isolating all auras, just to be safe, Feng Jie added another layer of protection so that Lu Chen could break through in peace.

Visibly, Lu Chen's golden qi and blood surged repeatedly, rising steadily. Along with it, the ten-zhang heavenly Gang divine spirit behind him became increasingly condensed, as if gaining substance, like it was cast from divine gold.

"Rumble!"

At that moment, thunder suddenly exploded above the firmament, which even the Divine Hall couldn't completely isolate.

In an instant, Feng Jie, Pang Feifeng, and Chu Xianyin all looked up in astonishment and then simultaneously looked towards Lu Chen.

Lightning Tribulation?!

Another Lightning Tribulation!

How long had it been? He remembered it was on the way to the Jiyuan Sea that Lu Chen had just broken through to the Body Refinement Yang God Realm and completed the Body Refinement Yang God tribulation.

As a result, how long had it been?

Less than two months!

Lu Chen was going to undergo tribulation again?!

What kind of Heaven-Defying cultivation speed was this? It was simply unheard of and unseen!

These weren't Realms at the beginning of cultivation like Qi Condensation or Spirit Transformation, but the Yang God, which could be called a Great Cultivator! But with Lu Chen, the Yang Spirit Realm seemed...

...just ordinary!

"Second Yang God Lightning Tribulation!" Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Actually, more than that!

The feedback brought by the completion of the one thousand four hundred and fifteen Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers was truly astonishing. His current Body Refinement Realm should have reached a point between the peak of the second stage and the third tribulation.

"I'll go undergo a tribulation and return shortly." After saying this simply, Lu Chen had already vanished, traversing the Void with his Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier, heading straight towards the Starry Sky outside the heavens.

It's worth mentioning that this Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier had completely fused with Qian Changsheng's accompanying Spirit Treasure and could split into ten Spirit Gods and ten Clones.

Whether it was a Spirit God or a Clone, they all possessed eighty percent of this Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier's strength. Just this one Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier, including its main body, could create twenty-one Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier, making it terrifyingly strong.

Above the Jiyuan Sea, that mysterious Secret Realm still showed no signs of opening. From the outside, one could only see a great radiance, and faintly discern various precious medicines, spiritual items, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures within. Besides that, spiritual energy was abundant, and great mountains stood tall, as if it were another world that did not belong to the Human Realm.

Moreover, the cultivators above the Jiyuan Sea continued to increase, and occasionally, Great Powers would flash past.

"Rumble!"

When the heavenly thunder exploded at the dome, many cultivators looked up but quickly withdrew their gaze, as no one paid any attention.

However, those Heavenly Pride couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Damned Lightning Tribulation, Pooh!" Among them, Wang Wanli of the Martial God Palace looked at the Lightning Tribulation still brewing above the dome and inexplicably recalled an unpleasant memory!

He still remembered the painful experience of being hunted by Lu Chen's Puppets in the Starry Sky...

It was unbearable to look back on!
