426: Dharmadhatu

This is Heavenly Tribulation!

It was originally formed by heaven and earth, not even considered a living being. To be precise, it's somewhat similar to the Dao Seed Clan, and specifically, the top-tier Dao Seed Clan.

The Dao Seed Clan is born from the Fusion of the Dao and principles, and arises through destiny and creation. They are actually very, very rare, perhaps comparable to the Golden Crow Emperor Clan.

And each generation of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan will not exceed the extreme number of nine, with twenty thousand years constituting a generation.

Excluding Ascension Immortal Golden Crows, there are at most eighteen Golden Crows in the same generation.

The Dao Seed Clan, however, might be even fewer than the Golden Crow Emperor Clan. One can imagine how uniquely blessed the Dao Seed Clan is.

But now, the Heavenly Tribulation has transformed into a 'dao venerable', similar to the top-tier Dao Seed Clan, and was even coveted by the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin. Finally, it was directly sent into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin by Lu Chen. So, can this Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable' really be nurtured into a Dao Soldier?

Lu Chen only felt his heart quicken, both anticipating and fearing disappointment.

This was the Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable' that almost caused him to fail his tribulation. It was a terrifying existence that could cause one to fall into depravity just by looking at it.

If nurtured into a Dao Soldier, how astonishing would it be?

Dare not think about it, simply dare not think about it.

It's just that at this moment, Lu Chen didn't have time to check on the situation of the Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable' inside the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

Because the Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable' was sent into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin by him, the Heavenly Tribulation was naturally overcome.

Therefore, his Realm began to rise. Body Refinement and Qi Refinement both simultaneously entered the Tongtian Realm!

At this moment, astonishing golden vital energy surged from Lu Chen's entire body, filling the secret area where the Dao Clearing Treasure Liquid Pool was located. At the same time, in the Void Surpassing Balance Heaven among the Eighteen Heavens of the Realm of Form, the indistinct spirit phantom began to solidify continuously, aiming to transform into a true dharma aspect spirit.

But this was only just the beginning.

Because, from within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, the feedback power that he had accumulated due to his Realm not improving and being unable to refine it, now surged in completely, entering Lu Chen's body.

Consequently, his Body Refinement strength began to skyrocket, skyrocketing crazily.

The dharma aspect spirits in the Void Surpassing Balance Heaven, Great Polarity Obscured Heaven, Crimson Brilliance and Yang Heaven, Profound Clarity and Resplendent Heaven, Luminous Sect Floating Heaven, Bamboo Fall Royal Reed Heaven, and Void Brilliance Hall Radiance Heaven, a full seven layers of heavens, were successively condensed by Lu Chen. His Body Refinement strength was immeasurably stronger than before.

However, after all the dharma aspect spirits in the seven layers of heavens were successfully condensed, the feedback power from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin still had not ended.

This feedback power had accumulated far, far too much.

The nurturing of hundreds of Hundred Transformations Dao Soldiers, the nurturing of over a thousand Ten Transformations Dao Soldiers, and even more Yin Yang Dao Soldiers—how immense was the feedback power left behind by the nurturing of so many Dao Soldiers?

His Dharma Idol, the dharma aspect spirit in the 'Observing Brilliance and Serene Heaven', also slowly solidified. However, the feedback power from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin also gradually slowed down, no longer surging violently.

Soon, the spirit in the eighth layer of heaven, 'Observing Brilliance and Serene Heaven', was also successfully condensed.

It was only until this moment that the previously accumulated feedback power was completely exhausted.

However, within Lu Chen's Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, there were still a few incomplete Ascension Realm Monster Corpses being nurtured, as well as over a hundred Tongtian Realm Monster Corpses also being nurtured. This would similarly generate a massive surge of feedback power.

Once the Dao Soldiers are nurtured and successfully fused, Lu Chen estimates that his Body Refinement strength can cultivate at least four more dharma aspect spirits.

If he can successfully fuse a Divine Power Dao Soldier, this number should be raised even further.

Such terrifying cultivation speed—if the current Holy Master Zhao Yujing, and the former Holy Master Cang Qingxiao knew, who knows how shocked they would be.

However, Body Refinement cultivation ended after the feedback power finished, but the Qi Refinement Realm had only just begun.

Body Refinement had the feedback power from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin as nourishment, and Qi Refinement also had it: 'Dao Clearing Treasure Liquid'.

And there was plenty.

At this moment, Lu Chen took a big gulp. The Dao Clearing Treasure Liquid in the pool surged up, turning into a rolling torrent that continuously entered Lu Chen's mouth.

Relying on his powerful Physical Body, which far surpassed his Qi Refinement strength, Lu Chen at this moment had no reservations and was not afraid of being injured in body and flesh by a heavenly material and earthly treasure like the 'Dao Clearing Treasure Liquid'.

He fully refined the Dao Clearing Treasure Liquid, and his Qi Refinement Realm also began to grow rapidly.

It's just that no matter how good the Dao Clearing Treasure Liquid was, it was ultimately just a heavenly material and earthly treasure. It couldn't compare to the feedback power from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, which was originally the divine power of Lu Chen's accompanying Spirit Treasure and shared the same origin as Lu Chen. It required virtually no refinement to be converted into his own cultivation Foundation.

And the Dao Clearing Treasure Liquid needed to be refined, so the growth of his Qi Refinement Realm was far slower than the improvement of his Physical Body.

A day passed!

Two days passed!

Ten days passed!

On this day, Lu Chen suddenly felt another surge of vast feedback power pouring in from within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

Thus, Lu Chen's Body Refinement strength began to skyrocket again, successively cultivating five more dharma aspect spirits.

Calculating carefully, Lu Chen's current Body Refinement strength was already that of thirteen dharma aspect spirits. Cultivating the final five dharma aspect spirits would make it eighteen Dharma Idols, eighteen dharma aspect spirits, reaching complete Perfection in Tongtian Realm Body Refinement.

With everything concluded, Lu Chen stepped into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin for the first time since his seclusion.

As expected, the hundred-plus Tongtian Realm Monster Corpses had all been nurtured into Hundred Transformations Dao Soldiers.

Lu Chen selected over seventy Dao Soldiers from them that could be fused and combined them with the previously fused Dao Soldiers. It's worth mentioning that among these, there were seven or eight Flood Dragon, Red Dragon, and Fire Dragon type Dragon Attribute Dao Soldiers, which were given to the Dragon Attribute Dao Soldiers by Lu Chen.

Lu Chen glanced at the four incomplete corpses of Ascension Realm Demon Clan members. They were still being nurtured and had not yet succeeded.

Finally, Lu Chen looked towards the Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable'.

"It can actually be nurtured into a Dao Soldier!" Lu Chen exclaimed.

This Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin of mine is incredible!

"Good!" He was surprised again.

He had already deeply experienced how powerful this Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable' was. Not to mention it actively attacking, merely standing before you was enough to directly 'corrupt' someone and destroy their Dao Foundation.

It's no exaggeration to say that even an Ascension Realm expert would pale in comparison before this Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable'.

Just speaking of Lu Chen himself, how profound was his Foundation? Immortal Embryo, Sixteen Rules, Thirty-Six Dharma Forms, coupled with a firm Dao Heart. Yet, even so, he almost didn't make it through.

If it weren't for the special nature of the Dharma Idols he cultivated, which involved the legendary Three Pure Ones, it would be hard to say whether he could have overcome this tribulation.

This wasn't about whether one's cultivation was high or low, but whether one's own Dao could contend against the 'corrupting' Dao of the Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable'.

Furthermore, this Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable' hadn't truly attacked yet. It seemed that within the fixed framework of the will of heaven and earth, this Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable' didn't need to act; it could only be seen by others.

But this didn't mean this Heavenly Tribulation 'dao venerable' was weak. On the contrary, in Lu Chen's perception, this Heavenly Tribulation 'Dao Soldier' was extremely terrifying, so terrifying that it might even have a strength surpassing the Ascension Realm, or even higher.

Of course, this was just Lu Chen's guess. The true situation would have to wait until it was nurtured into a Dao Soldier before a conclusion could be made.
