84: Breakthrough to the fourth tier, new supernatural power

Outside the Inheritance Hall, the White Jade Plaza, which had originally been filled with sacred and solemn aura, had now transformed into an Asura Field full of destruction and devastation.

True Person Xue Dan lay slumped on the ground, covered in blood. His old eyes, which had originally been filled with violence and madness, now only held endless... despair.

He watched the colossal Dragon shadow, like a Primordial Demon God, slowly swimming toward him. Feeling the supreme and unmatched ferocity that was capable of utterly crushing him, he knew he was finished.

Mysterious Ink no longer hesitated.

For an enemy who had repeatedly tried to put him and Ye Feiyan to death, he would not show the slightest mercy.

The Dragon tail swept out!

"Bang!"

Following a muffled explosion, this Sect Leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, who had dominated the East Sea for hundreds of years and struck fear into countless Cultivators, completely turned into a cloud of bloody mist, carrying endless unwillingness and regret.

Mysterious Ink opened his mouth and inhaled, collecting the Golden Core Peak storage ring and the "ten thousand souls banner," which was filled with ominous aura, into his possession.

Immediately afterward, he took out the corpse of the Late Golden Core Stage Black-robed figure and the corpse of the Third Order Late Stage Giant Ape from the storage ring on his Dragon claw, temporarily sealing them using a Secret Technique.

These were all excellent "Cultivation Resources" reserved for that girl.

After finishing all this, he returned once more to the entrance of the Inheritance Hall, quietly coiled down, and continued to wait... However, what he didn't expect was.

This wait lasted for a full month.

During this month, the Tidal Palace Ruins had long been deserted.

Yet, inside the Inheritance Hall, which was filled with mystery and Opportunity, there was still no movement whatsoever.

Ye Feiyan still had not appeared.

"What's going on?"

A trace of confusion flashed within Mysterious Ink's majestic dragon pupils.

"Could it be... that girl actually obtained the Legacy of that damned Tidal Palace?"

"Is she currently receiving the Legacy, which is why she hasn't come out yet?"

However, just as he was secretly speculating.

A long-awaited System notification sound, like the music of nature, suddenly exploded in his mind!

[Ding! experience points have accumulated to 8,000,000 points, meeting the Realm Breakthrough conditions. Do you wish to Break through immediately?]

"It's here!"

Mysterious Ink's spirit lifted!

He took one last look at the still-motionless Inheritance Hall and no longer hesitated.

His massive Dragon body instantly soared into the sky, speeding towards the most remote and desolate corner of this Sky Island!

Soon, he arrived at a Black Gobi where no grass grew.

"System, Breakthrough!"

RUMBLE—!!!!!!!!

The instant he gave the command!

The entire Sky Island seemed to tremble violently!

Above the Nine Heavens, the originally clear and cloudless azure sky was instantly and completely shrouded by endless, pitch-black Tribulation Clouds, filled with an aura of destruction and ill omen!

Purple Lightning Dragons, thicker than mountains and filled with world-ending might, frantically shuttled through the pitch-black Tribulation Clouds, letting out terrifying roars loud enough to deafen heaven and earth!

Lightning Tribulation!

For a Yao Beast, Breaking through from Third Tier to Fourth Tier is equivalent to a Human Race Cultivator Breaking through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul!

This is a massive leap in the level of life!

Naturally, it also draws the trial of the Laws of Heaven and Earth!

"Good timing!"

Mysterious Ink let out a Dragon Roar toward the sky, filled with endless Battle Intent!

He intended to forcefully withstand the Lightning Tribulation!

Using the most supreme Yang power of lightning between heaven and earth to temper his already indestructible Dragon body!

"CRACK!"

The first Lightning Tribulation crashed down!

Mysterious Ink neither dodged nor avoided, allowing the terrifying Lightning Dragon—powerful enough to instantly blast an ordinary Third Tier Peak Demonic Beast into dust—to strike heavily upon his body!

...There were a total of nine Lightning Tribulations!

Each one was stronger than the last!

When the final streak of Nine Heavens Purple Lightning, which had almost condensed into substance and was filled with world-ending might, crashed down.

The entire Sky Island seemed ready to completely collapse amid this apocalyptic scene!

After an unknown period of time passed.

As the sky-filling Tribulation Clouds slowly dispersed.

As the violent energy, capable of tearing the Void Realm, gradually subsided.

The Black Gobi, where no grass grew, had long since vanished.

In its place was a terrifying, bottomless giant pit, over ten thousand zhang in diameter!

And in the center of that giant pit.

A massive figure, though appearing somewhat battered, with a small portion of its indestructible Dragon scales shattered, but whose life aura was countless times stronger than before, was quietly suspended there.

He succeeded!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully achieving a Breakthrough. Current Realm: Early Fourth Tier Stage!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully Awakening the second Innate Divine Ability—Profound Black Domain!]

[Profound Black Domain: A Law-type Divine Ability. Upon activation, it can forcibly alter the Laws of Heaven and Earth within a hundred-mile radius, placing the opponent in a state of absolute darkness.]

[Hint: Within this Domain, the opponent's five senses and six senses, and even Divine Sense probing, will be completely blocked!]

"Good! What a superb Profound Black Domain!"

Mysterious Ink was overjoyed!

With this Heaven-Defying Law Divine Ability, he was equivalent to possessing a supreme "home field" where he could drag any enemy into a pitch-black space and slaughter them at will!

This could absolutely be called the most supreme means of assassination!

Subsequently, he opened his attribute panel again.

[host: Mysterious Ink] [Race: Primordial Black Dragon (Incomplete)] [Realm: Early Fourth Tier Stage] [experience points required to Break through to Mid Fourth Tier Stage: 0 / 16,000,000]

"Sixteen million..."

He silently calculated that it would take roughly over two months before he could Break through again.

However, Mysterious Ink was quite satisfied.

After all, Fourth Tier is equivalent to the Human Race's Nascent Soul Realm! Cultivators of ordinary caliber might not even be able to Break through a single heavenly layer in a thousand years in this Realm!

Yet, he himself only needed over two months to Break through another Realm.

What was there to be dissatisfied with?

...Subsequently, he returned to the Tidal Palace's Inheritance Hall.

Stepping through that large door again.

Before his eyes was still the massive White Jade Plaza.

Ye Feiyan, along with Great Master Bai Yunxi, Third Senior Sister Qin Xiaohui, and the survivors from other factions, were still trapped within the "guixu water bubble." It was as if the month that had passed in the outside world was merely an instant for them.

"Hmm?"

Mysterious Ink's majestic dragon pupils slightly narrowed.

He realized that now that he had stepped into the Fourth Tier, he could faintly sense a slight feeling of weakness emanating from the "guixu water bubble."

That is to say.

With his current strength, which rivaled the Early Nascent Soul stage, perhaps he had the ability to forcibly pierce this water bubble!

However, after thinking about it, he gave up.

—What if this water bubble was connected to the Legacy trial inside?

—If his good intentions led to a bad outcome, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Helplessly, he could only silently coil down once more.

Continuing to wait.
