Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1794: 457: Primordial Yang Body, Gaining Divination Skill!

Three months vanished in what seemed like a mere heartbeat.

Following a period of intense preparation, the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale had not only peaked but surged with the intensity of a vast ocean, generating a heavy, suffocating field of dread.

To ensure their own auras didn't interfere with the True Spirit Tribulation, Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng retreated to a safe distance.

"It begins!"

Lu Changsheng’s eyes snapped open at that moment, his gaze fixed upon the Heavenly Dome above.

"Zzzzz!!!"

Through the thick layers of fog, gray tribulation clouds began to congregate. Arcs of lightning pulsed within them, locking their sights onto the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale.

Innumerable flickering purple sparks coiled like tiny serpents within the clouds before merging. They brewed into thunder snakes, pythons, and eventually thunder dragons, radiating a destructive Qi mechanism and overwhelming Heavenly might.

"So this is the True Spirit Tribulation. It is formidable, yet... it doesn't seem quite as terrifying as expected..."

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Changsheng watched intently, sensing that he might even be able to endure the power of this lightning himself.

However, he was well aware that the Heavenly Tribulation was not a single strike, but a series of descents, each growing in ferocity!

Holding the Great Luo Sword Embryo with the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror hovering protectively over his head, Lu Changsheng commanded A Wu to monitor every direction. He needed to ensure no Demon King, such as the Void Kun that roams the Great Void, would ambush them.

Despite possessing a Nascent Soul Level Soul, the profound depths of the Great Dream Marsh still exerted a restrictive influence on his senses, preventing him from perceiving everything perfectly.

...

Roughly the time it takes to finish half a cup of tea passed.

"Boom!!!"

The initial thunderbolt erupted from the clouds. A brilliant purple flash, resembling a violent thunder dragon, tore through the dark, overcast Heavenly Dome and the fog of the Great Dream Marsh.

"Roar!"

With a deep, resonant cry, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale’s massive form erupted with a dark, tranquil light. It summoned a massive tsunami, drawing upon the power of the Water Vein to meet the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.

The first strike struck the whale's body without inflicting damage. Its scales, which looked as though they were forged from Outer Heaven Mystical Iron, gleamed with a metallic chill as mysterious dragon patterns pulsed across them.

"Boom!"

The second strike followed shortly after, its intensity increasing by thirty percent compared to the first.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale resisted, but its crystalline demonic power began to fracture. The luster of its scales faded slightly, and minor wounds started to mark its flesh.

"Even if these are just surface injuries, this is only the second Heavenly Tribulation. As the power continues to escalate, the danger will remain significant."

Lu Changsheng watched the whale and the swirling clouds with a solemn expression.

Yet, a closer look revealed a massive surge of life force within the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale. The minor injuries it had just sustained were mending in seconds as its demonic power reconstituted itself.

This was possible because its physical frame and bloodline had reached a tipping point; it still possessed a vast, undigested life source.

Unlike Human Race Cultivators, Demon Beasts possess superior storage and assimilation capabilities. When attempting to break through to a new realm, they consume vast quantities of Demon Beast blood and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to bolster their foundation.

Before long, the third Heavenly Tribulation struck.

This was no longer a solitary bolt. Multiple strikes rained down at once, filling the world with a terrifying, immeasurable power.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale channeled the Sea Eye Spirit Vein, stirring up endless tides. It then activated its innate divine ability, as the curved horn on its brow released a sharp, piercing Qi mechanism to clash with the lightning.

"Boom!"

Under the deafening and horrific roar of the thunder, more scorched patches appeared across its gargantuan body.

Despite the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale’s repeated assurances that it was fine, Lu Changsheng watched the unfolding chaos with anxiety. He found it difficult to remain still, fearing the creature might fail the trial.

It could be said that the whale’s perspective matched that of most cultivators: as long as the breakthrough succeeded, the injuries sustained along the way were irrelevant.

However, Lu Changsheng’s definition of a successful crossing was one without any injuries at all, using the Heavenly Tribulation solely as a means of purification.

The fourth thunder tribulation crashed down like an entire ocean falling from the sky, nearly burying the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale beneath its weight.

In that instant, the terrifying lightning and the sea became one, a sight that made even Lu Changsheng tremble.

It was fortunate this was occurring in the most secluded part of the Great Dream Marsh. Had this tribulation taken place in the Great Dream Immortal City, the spectacle would have surely paralyzed countless people with terror.

"Boom boom boom——"

Like relentless waves, this strike hammered the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, shattering the Water Armor and scales that protected it. Its skin turned charred and black, and blood began to flow.

The surrounding waters glowed with purple electricity. Consequently, even distant Demon Beast fish and shrimp were caught in the aftermath, floating to the surface as charred remains.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is a disaster, yet it is also a baptism—a gift from the world itself..."

Lu Changsheng noted that while the whale’s scales were breaking and its flesh was in ruins, new tissue and scales were already regenerating at a rapid pace.

"Rising through defeat, finding life in the silence of oblivion—all things find rebirth through destruction!"

Lu Changsheng was reminded of the breakthroughs in his own Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, which also involved a transformation through the threshold of death to achieve a complete metamorphosis.

Currently, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale was shattering its bloodline limits, evolving from a Heavenly Grade Bloodline to a True Spirit Level Bloodline in much the same way.

"A cultivator’s Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation follows a similar logic. Using a Tribulation Transcending Treasure might lower the pressure and provide defense, but it also lessens the baptism and results in a weaker foundation."

"Then again, most people are just happy to reach the Nascent Soul realm and survive the lightning; who would worry about such details? Only the truly powerful consider them!"

"If I can achieve Fourth Rank Body Refining before reaching Nascent Soul, I can trigger the Heavenly Tribulation early. That way, I won't have to fear the future Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation and can face it with my physical body."

"The only real worry is the Heavenly Nascent Soul, which requires the soul to leave the body to undergo the baptism and absorb the Heavenly Dao Qi!"

As he watched the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale endure the storm, several new insights took root in Lu Changsheng’s heart.
