Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, Innate Divine Power

Rumble... Electric snakes interlaced as the sky gradually grew dim amidst the muffled thunder. Under the majestic heavenly might, all kinds of birds and beasts in the mountains fled in panic in groups, fearing they would be caught in the tribulation lightning and meet a disastrous end if they ran too slowly.

At this moment, Qi Yuan was in Epiphany mode. Countless insights regarding the Nascent Soul Realm surfaced in his mind, and the cultivation technique within his body operated continuously in a flawless manner.

His entire being seemed to merge with heaven and earth, with infinite spiritual opportunities surging around him.

Before long, the rolling tribulation clouds in the sky finally finished brewing.

Boom!

A thick, pillar-like purple-green tribulation lightning streaked through the Void Realm, descending from the sky and striking down toward Qi Yuan's location.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, Qi Yuan's body was instantly submerged in lightning. The sounds of thunderous explosions were continuous, reducing everything within a thousand-foot radius to powder like dry weeds and rotten wood.

Crack, crack, crack—

This bolt of tribulation lightning seemed to help Qi Yuan break some kind of shackle. The Golden Core that was vibrating frantically in his Qi Sea suddenly shattered like porcelain, revealing an inch-tall, crystal-clear infant from within.

The infant's appearance was identical to Qi Yuan's. Wisps of mysterious spiritual aura emanated from its body, clear and bright like colored glass.

It was actually a very high-quality Divine Radiance Nascent Soul!

Then, as if guided by a sudden flash of insight, Qi Yuan quickly drew that wisp of Heavenly Dao aura from the System space and struck it into the newborn Nascent Soul.

The next moment.

Buzz!

The moment it merged with the Heavenly Dao aura, the Nascent Soul's entire body suddenly burst forth with thousands of rays of light, illuminating the surroundings like bright daylight.

A vast and distant aura spread from this newborn Nascent Soul. A layer of a Heavenly Dao Light Wheel, representing Perfection and purity, faintly appeared behind the Nascent Soul. It looked ethereal and vast, as if it could encompass all things in the world.

As the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul gradually took shape, the dissipating tribulation cloud overhead suddenly began to condense again, growing more intense. In the blink of an eye, it covered most of the sky, and the aura of destruction in the air was even thicker than before.

Soon.

Boom!!!

A bolt of tribulation lightning, far more powerful than the previous one, tore through the dark clouds and instantly engulfed Qi Yuan, blasting a huge deep pit into the ground beneath his feet... After striking down the second bolt of lightning, the tribulation clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky.

At the bottom of the deep pit.

A scorched figure climbed up from the ground in a pathetic state, tremblingly raising his right hand toward the sky. However, he silently withdrew his middle finger halfway through. He seemed to want to express his protest to the heavens, but after thinking about it, he didn't quite dare... By now, the Epiphany mode had ended. Qi Yuan barely stood straight and looked at the equipment scattered all over the ground, his face full of pain.

According to common sense, Breaking the Core to Condense the Soul would not attract a Heavenly Tribulation. At the very least, one would have to wait until a Cultivator breaks through to Soul Transformation to undergo the baptism of a Heavenly Tribulation. Under the tempering of lightning, the Nascent Soul transforms into a spirit, using the power of the Primordial Spirit to manifest the Law of Heaven and Earth and travel ten thousand miles.

Because of this, he hadn't expected at all that he would experience a Lightning Tribulation when condensing his soul, so he hadn't made any preparations... Now, all his clothes had turned to ash under the two bolts of tribulation lightning. His entire body was covered in charred blackness, and even the Storage Pouch at his waist had been smashed to pieces. The items inside were scattered all over the ground, making him look exceptionally miserable.

Fortunately, those important things were placed in his personal space. The Storage Pouch was only for show, containing only some low-grade Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills; otherwise, the loss would have been immense.

“Don't the books say that Cultivators won't be struck by lightning when forming a Nascent Soul... Good grief, when it's my turn, the Heavenly Tribulation comes so unexpectedly. Did I break some heavenly law or something?”

“One bolt was one thing, but two... Heavens, I just wanted to form a Nascent Soul, there's no need to play me like this!”

Just as Qi Yuan was muttering to himself, the tribulation power scattered around surged toward him like a vast tide. The aura on his body climbed steadily, soon reaching the level of the Early Nascent Soul Stage.

Immediately after, he circulated his spiritual power slightly, and the charred layer on his body surface instantly fell off, revealing skin as smooth as new, faintly shimmering with a soft glow like precious jade.

Upon internal inspection, the Nascent Soul within his body was full of Dao rhythm, and its phenomena were brilliant. Wisps of clear, magnificent, and auspicious mist surrounded its body, breathing in and out extremely pure and surging spiritual power at every moment.

“As expected of a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, it's much stronger than that Divine Radiance Nascent Soul just now. My hard work wasn't in vain.”

Feeling this unprecedentedly powerful strength, Qi Yuan was in a great mood, and all his previous gloom was swept away!

After the joy, with a thought, his originally black and white pupils suddenly brimmed with dense golden runes. The bones, muscles, and flesh in his body also emitted bursts of rumbling sounds, as if dragons and snakes were rising from the earth and thunder was shaking the nine heavens.

At the same time, the aura on his body began to grow rapidly, finally reaching the level of the Peak Nascent Soul Mid-stage!

This situation lasted for a few breaths before coming to an abrupt halt. As the strange runes in Qi Yuan's eyes disappeared, his cultivation also returned to the Early Nascent Soul Stage.

“The power is quite good!”

Qi Yuan reopened his eyes, a look of satisfaction flashing across his face.

After condensing the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, not only did his strength skyrocket, but he also obtained a Natal Divine Ability.

Four Refinements of the Blood God.

This Divine Ability allowed him to significantly increase his combat power in a short period by burning his blood qi. The degree of increase was related to the amount of blood qi consumed.

As the name suggested, the Four Refinements of the Blood God could activate a total of four levels of blood-burning states. The most terrifying fourth refinement could even temporarily increase the user's strength by four times!

Of course, the fourth refinement had immense aftereffects. After activating it, the user would lose half their life even if they didn't die.

The one Qi Yuan had just performed was the second refinement. In this state, by erupting blood qi, he basically wouldn't have to pay any price afterward, yet it could instantly double his strength.

From this, one could glimpse the terror of this Natal Divine Ability. It could definitely be called a Sharp Weapon for the weak to defeat the strong.

In the Cultivation World, a killing technique of this level would be at least at the Saint-tier technique level, comparable to the top Legacies of the Seven Great Holy Lands.

Moreover, as Qi Yuan's Natal Divine Ability, he could use it perfectly without needing to master it. As his cultivation grew in the future, this Divine Ability would also become stronger and stronger!

“I didn't expect that after achieving the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, I'd also get an incredibly powerful Natal Divine Ability. It's truly an unexpected surprise.”

At this thought, the corners of Qi Yuan's mouth curled up, revealing an uncontrollable smile. He was increasingly satisfied with the gains from this Breakthrough.

After pondering for a moment, he casually put on a standard robe of Falling Cloud Valley. With one step, his figure appeared a hundred miles away as if teleporting.

Once a Cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, they can travel a hundred miles in an instant, Shrinking the Earth into Inches.
