Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1545 - 835: Mirror Realm Expansion, Sudden Appearance of Divinity Transformation (Part 2)

Right now, the dark Tribulation Cloud that blanketed the Heavenly Vault suddenly lost its heavenly backing and dissipated in huge swaths into nothingness.

Once the Tribulation Cloud scattered, an enormous surge of incredibly pure spiritual energy from nature rushed in from every direction, rapidly forming a colossal pillar of spiritual energy that linked heaven and earth, boasting a width of twenty miles.

At that precise instant, numerous cultivators from the southeast, southwest, and northeast all stopped what they were doing, staring in awe at the immense spiritual energy pillar, deeply stunned and hurrying to notify their sects and families of this astonishing occurrence.

"Three thousand years have gone by, and at last, a Divinity Transformation True Monarch has emerged once more in our world. What a cause for celebration!"

"Wait, that doesn't seem right. The Tribulation Cloud spanned such a huge area earlier; it can't be matched by the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation. Might it be a Golden Core Master undergoing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation?"

"...Which mighty cultivator has managed to advance through the realm? Is it Senior Dao Kong? The Unfinished Divine Monk? Or perhaps... the Great Demon Head Pang Xingyun?!"

"This is bad, we must withdraw immediately! Avoid interfering with the one passing the tribulation, or our lives will be at grave risk!"

While diverse cultivators displayed varied responses to observing the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation, Zhao Sheng held his Giant Spirit Battle Body steady, brilliant Divine Light shining from deep within his eyes as he scanned the nearby void.

In a flash, a grand and limitless, ever-present shadow arose from the void; it represented the shadowy aspect of All Heavens and Universes, known as the Nine Nether Void Realm.

Zhao Sheng gradually extended his right hand, and within his palm, a fist-sized black hole abruptly formed, its borders faintly warped as though infused with some Law-level force.

The very next instant, a grayish ray burst forth with shocking speed from his palm, piercing through the barriers of space-time right away, generating a "void" about a yard wide in the emptiness.

A space-time tempest was on the verge of erupting from the void when abruptly, a towering and imposing figure materialized before the void, its two massive grayish hands clamping onto the void's edges and then ripping it open with brute force.

Rip!

The "void" acted like a fragile sheet, torn apart in a moment to form a big opening; Zhao Sheng shot ahead, effortlessly slipping inside, and vanished soon after.

In just one breath's time, the void sealed itself and mended, restoring the space-time barrier that once more divided the current world from the Dark Sky.

...

Meanwhile, twelve thousand miles distant at Green Deer Peak, a terrible disaster had descended.

Cang Yanzi, the Double Extreme Scholar, and Xuan Guang Taoist—three Golden Core Masters—had sneaked into Green Deer Peak undetected. Following a thorough search, they still failed to locate Huangfu Yuli's position.

Cang Yanzi discreetly seized a Foundation Establishment Elder and, through questioning, uncovered Huangfu Yuli's true identity.

It appeared that Huangfu Yuli had assumed the guise of a Foundation Establishment Realm loose cultivator, integrating into the Qinglu Qing Clan, and later rose to become a Minister Elder, dwelling in seclusion ever since.

Maybe because of a prior clash with Xuan Guang Taoist, Huangfu Yuli grew wary.

As a result, over the last ten days, he hadn't shown up at Green Deer Peak whatsoever.

Faced with this, Cang Yanzi furtively apprehended every Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qing Family for further interrogation.

Green Deer Peak was thrown into chaos by the Ancestor's demise, so they paid little attention to the Minister Elder's location, and no one had any idea where he might be.

Unable to track down Huangfu Yuli despite their efforts, the three Golden Core Masters chose to conceal themselves nearby and bide their time until Huangfu Yuli appeared.

This vigil dragged on for almost a full year, during which nearby cultivation powers repeatedly probed and claimed vast portions of the Qinglu Qing Clan’s lands.

In the end, even Songshan Square, situated hundreds of miles off, fell under assault from a band of masked assailants, who plundered it before fleeing.

The present Family Head of the Qinglu Qing Clan, coerced by Cang Yanzi's threats, hastily dispatched more than ten summons.

Huangfu Yuli, fresh from his return to the Lower Realm via Jixian Island, promptly received numerous summoning talismans. With no delay, he activated tunneling light and hastened back to Green Deer Peak.

And so, the fierce clash ignited!

The trio was utterly astonished by their foe's overwhelming power, managing to hold his own against all three without falling behind.

Huangfu Yuli's cultivation method is entitled the "." This scripture was obtained by Old Man Nanhua in a deal with an Immortal Ruins Guest, serving as a supreme cultivation technique that leads straight to Divinity Transformation.

The "" constitutes a Water Attribute Divine Skill, which details three primary Water Element Divine Powers alongside nineteen hidden techniques.

Jixian Island overflowed with "Pure Water," and upon reaching the island, Huangfu Yuli felt perfectly at ease, like a fish in its natural habitat. By absorbing vast quantities of "Pure Water," he had elevated the divine ability "Mystic Abyss Illusion Sea" to an unparalleled level.

Furthermore, following more than a century of dedicated practice, Huangfu Yuli's prowess had evolved dramatically; his cultivation attained the Golden Core Perfect Realm, merely a single step from shattering the Nascent Soul Barrier.

Thus, as the two sides clashed, the three Golden Core Masters nearly incurred a severe setback. Luckily, Cang Yanzi hailed from a renowned sect and swiftly unleashed the Ancient Poison Flame, managing to steady the tide momentarily.

Regrettably, the whole Qinglu Qing Clan bore the brunt of this intense battle, with divine power techniques crashing down repeatedly near Green Deer Peak, not only demolishing major structures but also slaying numerous Qing Clan members whose cultivation was too weak.

After serving as a Minister Elder for so many years, Huangfu Yuli couldn't ignore the Qing Family's plight and felt a surge of pity.

Consequently, he deliberately shifted the fight to a remote area; yet, this thoughtful action turned into a critical flaw.

The three sly veterans, including Cang Yanzi, saw through this ploy and promptly adjusted their approach. Collaborating, they cut off Huangfu Yuli's escape and intentionally directed mighty spells toward the Qing Family members below.

Enraged by this sight, Huangfu Yuli unleashed his complete might, calling forth his innate divine ability "Mystic Abyss Illusion Sea."

In that moment, the heavens morphed into an endless sea, mighty waves rolling and spraying myriad water drops. Peculiar rainbows danced amid the swells, blanketing the nearby void across miles.

Cang Yanzi and his companions found themselves ensnared in a peculiar illusory domain, their divine senses and minds muddled by the visions, struggling to separate truth from deception.

Just as the three Golden Core Masters teetered on the edge of defeat within the illusion, a soft sigh echoed from behind Huangfu Yuli.

Sigh...

The sigh came softly and profoundly, as if both near and distant.

Without delay, Huangfu Yuli's body tensed with alarm, his divine sense exploding outward in a mental gale that swept rearward on instinct.

However... prior to the mental storm's full release, it was casually dismantled by a far greater divine thought.

Right then, a finely shaped hand lightly settled on Huangfu Yuli’s shoulder.

Huangfu Yuli had no chance to respond before an overpowering odd mana seeped into his form, coursing through his limbs and torso, rapidly locking his Golden Core within the Core Energy Sea.

At once, Huangfu Yuli's frame went numb and rigid.

In a mere blink, a glimmer of divine light flickered from the midst of Huangfu Yuli’s forehead.

Crack!

A faint noise resounded from his neck, followed by seven or eight fragments of broken jade talisman tumbling from his garments.

Witnessing this, the Taoist radiating a heavenly glow furrowed his brow, extended his hand to gather the fragments, and scrutinized them intently.

Yet... the runes etched on the jade talisman's surface differed greatly from those of this realm, and even as a high Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, the Taoist failed to identify them.

The Taoist felt an odd unease, stepped closer to Huangfu Yuli, and gravely inquired, "Whose hand did you shatter the jade talisman from just now?"

"Hehe, you want to know? Just wait a moment, and you’ll naturally find out!" Huangfu Yuli sneered.
