309: Three hundred members of the Holy Beginning Sect collectively broke through to a higher realm.

The next day.

The entire Inner God Realm was in an uproar; the number one genius of the younger generation in the Inner God Realm was challenging Jiang Ye, who was currently in the limelight!

Inside the Shangguan Family residence, in a living room, Che Xingfeng said to Jiang Ye, "We aren't worried about Cheng Jiansheng's strength, but the trouble lies in his identity. Behind him is a Family force from the Divine Domain Heaven."

"Do you know the strength of the strongest person in that Family?"

"Rumor has it that one of their Old Ancestors has reached the Seventh Stage of God Emperor Realm."

Jiang Ye said, "The Divine Dragon Hall's intentions are quite interesting. If they win, they win; if they lose, they'll use that person's identity to pressure me. Is there anywhere in the Shengchu Sect where I can draw upon heavenly thunder to Cultivate?"

"What? Draw upon heavenly thunder to Cultivate?" Che Xingfeng was a bit confused by his words.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye suddenly thought of a strange trick and asked, "How many people in the Shengchu Sect are currently in the God Tribulation Realm but have been afraid to break through because they can't withstand the heavenly thunder?"

"What are you planning to do?"

"I have the relatively powerful Overlord Thunder Body, and heavenly thunder can help me break through. If all the God Tribulation Realm Disciples of the Shengchu Sect draw upon the heavenly thunder to break through together, I will absorb the thunder for them. This way, both sides benefit."

"This... no one has ever cultivated like this before. Are you really sure?"

Jiang Ye said, "I hid my Realm before. My true Realm is the Eighth Stage of God Tribulation Realm, all because of the heavenly thunder. If all the God Tribulation Realm Disciples of the Shengchu Sect can help me draw upon the heavenly thunder to break through, I'll be able to step directly into the God King Realm!"

"Eighth Stage of God Tribulation Realm?" Che Xingfeng knew his cultivation speed was Heaven-Defying, but he was still surprised. He said, "Alright, let's return to the Shengchu Sect now. However, should we accept that challenge or not?"

Jiang Ye said indifferently, "Once I break through to the God King Realm, such boring challenges will no longer exist!"

Two hours later.

After deliberation, the Shengchu Sect decided that to be safe, five Old Ancestors would come out together to act as Protectors for all the God Tribulation Realm Disciples and help them break through. This news almost instantly set the Shengchu Sect abuzz. All the God Tribulation Realm Elders and Disciples flocked over. There were over three hundred people from the First Stage of God Tribulation Realm to the Ninth Stage of the God Tribulation Realm, all very excited, but they didn't know that the person the five Old Ancestors were truly assisting in breaking through was Jiang Ye.

Inside a secret room.

Shengchu Sect Leader Invincible Yang, Vice Sect Master Che Xingfeng, five Old Ancestors, and a group of core Elders were all present!

Invincible Yang said, "Grand Elder Jiang, are you really sure about doing this?"

"One hundred percent sure! I need stronger heavenly thunder to help me break through. If I rely only on myself, I estimate I'd have to wait at least three months before I could draw upon heavenly thunder again to break through to the Ninth Stage of the God Tribulation Realm. If so many people help me draw upon the heavenly thunder this time, I'm confident I can break through to the God King Realm in one fell swoop!"

"Good! The Vice Sect Master and I will lead all the Elders to guard the situation outside, and the seven Grand Elders will assist the five Old Ancestors to prevent any accidents."

Half an hour later.

On the grand Martial Arts Field of the Shengchu Sect, over three hundred God Tribulation Realm Elders and Disciples were ready. Five Old Ancestors ranging from the First Stage to the Second Stage of God Emperor Realm, along with seven Grand Elders from the Seventh Stage to the Ninth Stage of God King Realm, were prepared to strike and resist the heavenly thunder at any moment to offset some of the power for them.

One Old Ancestor shouted, "Everyone, begin the Breakthrough!"

"Yes!" those participating in the Breakthrough responded excitedly!

In a matter of moments, heavenly thunder rolled. The Power of Thunder drawn by over three hundred people was terrifying to the extreme!

At this moment, the five Old Ancestors and seven Grand Elders looked at the heavenly thunder, and each felt a sense of trepidation! If this were to strike directly, even if the twelve of them exhausted all their strength to resist, many of these Elders and Disciples would die. Now all the bets were placed on Jiang Ye; they could only see if his Overlord Thunder Body could absorb a large portion of it.

Just as the heavenly thunder was forming, Jiang Ye suddenly unleashed his Overlord Thunder Body and charged straight toward the thunder.

These Old Ancestors and Grand Elders were somewhat apprehensive. The Power of Thunder drawn by so many people was close to the power of World-Destroying Thunder.

Just as everyone was preparing to face the heavenly thunder, they discovered that it did not strike down but instead converged toward a single point.

"Such terrifying heavenly thunder, yet it was all absorbed by him!" an Old Ancestor exclaimed!

Meanwhile, those who were breaking through were very surprised and curious. These Old Ancestors and Grand Elders were all nearby; who was the one who just charged up to absorb the heavenly thunder?

Although they weren't baptized by the explosion of heavenly thunder, their Realms still broke through, and the aura within their bodies continued to rise.

Three hours later.

In the sky, Jiang Ye had gathered almost every terrifying bolt of thunder that struck down into his body.

"The heavenly thunder drawn by so many people together is indeed strong enough! After absorbing it three times, I can break through to the Ninth Stage of the God Tribulation Realm. Break!!!"

Boom!!! Jiang Ye's aura surged, instantly reaching the Ninth Stage of the God Tribulation Realm. Then he continued to absorb the heavenly thunder that kept striking down. To break through to the God King Realm, he had to push the Overlord Thunder Body to its limit. He planned to wait until the Thunder Body stored the Power of Thunder to its limit, then use the God Slaying Bloodline Power to push it together. Under the combined effect of these two powerful forces, he would break through several Realms in succession!

The next day.

Inside the Divine Dragon Hall, everyone was discussing smugly. The challenge they had publicly issued to the Shengchu Sect had not received a response from them. Yesterday, the Shengchu Sect suddenly announced to the public that they would not receive guests and even activated their protective Magic Array to a semi-active state. Everyone thought the Shengchu Sect was afraid of them and didn't dare to accept the challenge! They even went so far as to activate the protective Magic Array.

Inside a secret room, Hall Master and those of Long Xingtian's lineage were secretly deliberating.

Hall Master said, "I feel that things with the Shengchu Sect aren't that simple! Just last night, an informant reported that very terrifying heavenly thunder appeared above the Shengchu Sect, but strangely, that thunder didn't strike down."

Long Xingtian said, "This matter is indeed suspicious. They couldn't possibly have no response at all to such a publicly issued challenge."

"What's even more suspicious is that Jiang Ye. He dared to publicly kill a Disciple of the Divine Dragon Hall; it's impossible for him to remain indifferent in the face of such a provocation. For some reason, I always feel a bit uneasy."

Long Xingtian said, "Continue to send people to investigate the situation within the Shengchu Sect deeply. We must clearly understand the situation inside. If there's any sign of trouble, our Long Family will withdraw first."

Five days later.

All the God Tribulation Realm Elders and Disciples of the Shengchu Sect had finished their Breakthroughs, and not a single bolt of heavenly thunder had struck down. Everyone found it very strange and inquired about the situation with the Grand Elders and others.

However, at that moment, the Power of Thunder in the sky erupted! The Power of Thunder stored in Jiang Ye's Overlord Thunder Body had already surpassed its own limit; he was using the God Slaying Bloodline Power to forcibly suppress it.

Jiang Ye's eyes glowed with white thunderous light, and his whole body felt as if it were about to be burst by the Power of Thunder. Now he was going to start charging toward the God King Realm in one go. However, when charging toward the God King Realm and breaking through the tribulation to become a king, there would be his own heavenly thunder waiting for him. Therefore, he had to achieve a rapid Breakthrough in his Realm and quickly consume the power accumulated in his body. Otherwise, if the heavenly thunder came again, it would definitely blow him apart!"}],
