306: Eighth level of Divine Tribulation Realm

Hall Master Long Jun said, "To show our importance to him, Grand Elder, you should personally make a trip there. The Divine Realm Youth Grand Competition is less than a year away. If he can join, our Divine Dragon Hall might have a chance for one more Disciple to rank in the top ten."

"With his strength, he could even rank in the top three. Fighting three God King Realm opponents alone—no youth Disciple from any other faction has achieved that."

Half a month later

Jiang Ye further tempered his God Slaying Bloodline in the Shangguan Family's Forbidden Ground, and his power from the Seventh Level of the World-Defying God Slaying Art increased a bit. He could now execute it with greater proficiency. His Divine Power Realm also broke through to the seventh stage of the God Venerable Realm. However, the consumption of Spirit Stone resources was terrifying. Over ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were used during this half-month of seclusion. Moreover, the required purity of the Spirit Stones' spiritual energy was getting higher and higher; Low-Grade Spirit Stones were no longer effective for him.

Shi Feng and Shi Bao had also been continuously using Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to Cultivate and achieve Breakthroughs. Their Realms had now caught up, reaching the first stage of the God Venerable Realm.

Just as Jiang Ye was preparing to leave seclusion to check on that Ancient God Emperor Secret Realm Slot Competition, Shangguan Tianhong happened to arrive at the Forbidden Ground.

"Jiang Ye, the Grand Elder of the Divine Dragon Hall has come, saying he wants to see you. They are one of the four superpowers of the Inner God Realm."

Jiang Ye said, "Did he say what it's about?"

"No, but for them to dispatch their Grand Elder, they probably heard your recent reputation and want to recruit you into the Divine Dragon Hall."

"The Divine Dragon Hall? Hah!"

Soon, Jiang Ye arrived at a reception hall in the Shangguan Family's residence. He saw the Divine Dragon Hall's Grand Elder, Long Chen, seated in the guest seat, with two Disciples at the third stage of the God Tribulation Realm standing behind him.

One Disciple suddenly stepped forward and blocked his path, saying, "You ant from a lower Realm, you have quite the nerve! Making our Grand Elder wait here... Ugh!"

Jiang Ye directly grabbed him by the throat, saying, "Since you came looking for me, didn't you do your homework? Even a Second Stage God King Realm cultivator can't do anything to me. Where does a lowly God Tribulation Realm like you get the audacity to talk nonsense in front of me!"

"You dare... I am from the Divine Dragon Hall..." Bang!!!

Killed? Long Chen was also shocked. He had been pretending to drink tea, wanting to see how his Disciple would put Jiang Ye in his place. He never expected Jiang Ye to dare kill him directly!

"What a murderous nature! It seems our Divine Dragon Hall needs to reassess... Hmm? What's going on?" Long Chen was suddenly restrained by a Magic Array. This was something Zhao Yunshu had left with Jiang Ye beforehand. By slightly activating the array talisman in his hand, he could release the array to restrain the opponent for a quarter of an hour.

Jiang Ye revealed a sinister smile and said, "Pretentiousness! Sometimes it costs you your life, like this time! Divine Technique, God Devouring Origin Swallowing!" Boom!!! A powerful suction force violently extracted Long Chen's Divine Power Origin.

"Ah... You... what are you doing? I am the Grand Elder of the Divine Dragon Hall! How dare you attack me..."

"Divine Dragon Hall or Dog Cage Hall, it's all the same! The result is the same. Provoke me, and wait for me to annihilate you!"

"Ahhhhh!" Long Chen screamed continuously as his Divine Origin was forcibly extracted until it was completely drained, and he collapsed.

"You... you actually dare..." Long Chen on the ground said with difficulty.

Jiang Ye raised his hand and said, "To thank you for your Divine Origin, I'll give you a quick end!" Bang!!!

The other Disciple, suppressed to the side, was terrified, his face deathly pale and cold sweat pouring down! The Grand Elder at the sixth stage of the God King Realm had actually been killed by him!

Jiang Ye looked at him and asked, "What is the cultivation level of the strongest expert in your Divine Dragon Hall?"

"We... we have five Old Ancestors, all at the God Emperor Realm."

Bang! Bang!! Jiang Ye directly blew up both of them. Then! He sat cross-legged on the spot to refine the Divine Origin.

Shangguan Tianhong, watching from outside, was at a loss for words. There was truly no one this man didn't dare to kill! Moreover, after half a month of seclusion in the Forbidden Ground, his strength had increased by another large margin. This terrifying Cultivation speed was unmatched in the entire Inner God Realm.

Three hours later

Jiang Ye suddenly shot into the sky. Thunder boomed overhead. By refining the Divine Origin of Long Chen, a sixth-stage God King, he had already broken through to the first stage of the God Tribulation Realm. He just needed to survive this first Lightning Tribulation to officially complete the Breakthrough.

"Overlord Thunder Body!! This Lightning Tribulation is a great tonic for me. It can even elevate my Thunder Body further."

Boom!!! Heavenly thunder directly struck his body, but he circulated the Seventh Level of the World-Defying God Slaying Art and absorbed it! His Power of Thunder was continuously increasing.

Two hours later

Jiang Ye suddenly realized his Overlord Thunder Body was continuously attracting heavenly thunder. Logically, he should have completed his Breakthrough to the first stage of the God Tribulation Realm an hour ago.

"The God Tribulation Realm! It's related to the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation. Hahaha! Come on!!" Rumble!!! Jiang Ye used his Overlord Thunder Body to continuously draw down heavenly thunder to strike him. The people of the Shangguan Family below watched in fear and trepidation!

Three days later

Jiang Ye was still being continuously struck by heavenly thunder. Meanwhile, a major incident occurred within the Divine Dragon Hall! Grand Elder Long Chen's soul tablet shattered. He had been killed, and all traces were thoroughly erased. For now, they couldn't figure out who did it.

Another seven days passed

Jiang Ye had been struck by heavenly thunder for a full ten days, or rather, he had been absorbing the power of heavenly thunder for ten days. At this point, his Overlord Thunder Body had reached its limit.

"Break!!" Boom!!!

A powerful Divine Power aura erupted from Jiang Ye's body. His Realm was skyrocketing!

God Tribulation Realm Second Stage, God Tribulation Realm Third Stage, God Tribulation Realm Fourth Stage...

Two hours later

Jiang Ye's Breakthrough was nearing its limit. At this moment, with no other choice, he fully activated his God Slaying Bloodline Power!

"For me... Break!!!" Boom!!! A powerful force erupted, shaking all structures within a fifty-mile radius.

One hour later

Jiang Ye completed his Breakthrough and finished regulating his breath. He let out a long sigh, "Phew!! That Divine Dragon Hall really sent me a timely rain. Without that sixth-stage God King's Divine Origin, who knows when I would have broken through to the ninth stage of the God Venerable Realm, let alone grasped the key to the God Tribulation Realm. It helped me directly surge to the eighth stage of the God Tribulation Realm!"

As Jiang Ye slowly descended into the Shangguan Family estate, Shangguan Tianhong stepped forward and said, "This is bad! People from the Divine Dragon Hall are here again."

"Let them come! I've wiped all traces clean here. They have no evidence to prove those few died here. Let's go see!"

Jiang Ye and the other arrived at the reception hall again. Two Divine Dragon Hall Elders saw Jiang Ye and immediately demanded, "You are Jiang Ye? Who exactly killed our Divine Dragon Hall's Grand Elder?"

"You shouldn't be asking me that question, should you? He didn't stay long that day before leaving."

"The Grand Elder came to recruit you into the Divine Dragon Hall. Why haven't you reported to the Divine Dragon Hall's new Disciple registration point all this time?"

Jiang Ye said, "Are you sure he came to recruit me? He said back then that my Realm was too low, not even reaching the God Tribulation Realm, and that he wouldn't recruit me into the Divine Dragon Hall. He told me not to dream about it."

The Divine Dragon Hall Elder sensed his aura and said, "Aren't you at the first stage of the God Tribulation Realm now?"
