Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1795: 457: Primordial Yang Body, Acquiring Divination Skill!

Firsthand experience is far more visceral than anything learned through ancient texts or rumors; some truths can only be understood through direct observation.
In this manner, the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth heavenly tribulations struck in rapid succession. Although the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale appeared to be in a wretched state—its massive frame scorched black by the heavenly lightning, bleeding heavily from fractured bones—Lu Changsheng could perceive a profound transformation. Within the destruction, its body was undergoing a continuous process of rebirth and evolution!
The creature's entire form seemed to stretch and elongate, particularly its side fins and whale tail. Deep within its pupils, which resembled dark abysses, a faint golden radiance flickered like a celestial sun beginning to burn.
Utilizing the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Lu Changsheng noted several Demon Kings lurking hundreds of miles away. They watched the scene with a mixture of paralyzing dread and intense greed. Even the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng felt a primal, bloodline-driven urge to devour the flesh of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale as it faced the ordeal.
Under ordinary circumstances, the True Spirit Bloodline remains hidden. However, during the True Spirit Tribulation, the whale's battered body allowed its latent bloodline potential to leak out. This aura acted as an irresistible temptation to any nearby demon beasts!
"Boom!"
As the ninth heavenly tribulation fell, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale let out a thunderous roar. It unleashed its bloodline divine power, churning the ocean into massive tornado tsunamis to meet the lightning head-on. The sky was swallowed by the thick, suffocating pressure of the heavenly tribulation, creating a scene of apocalyptic horror. Even a seasoned Nascent Soul Cultivator would find such power nearly impossible to endure.
Lu Changsheng’s Fire Golden Eye pierced through the chaos. He watched as the whale’s demonic power shattered under the lightning’s impact. Newly formed scales and flesh were pulverized into ash, bones snapped, and a visible crack appeared on the lone horn atop its head. Had it not been for the ironclad rule forbidding outsiders from interfering in a heavenly tribulation, Lu Changsheng would have already deployed his Healing Divine Light to assist.
After a grueling period, the dark clouds in the firmament finally began to retreat.
"Huh!"
Watching the broken, skeletal remains of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale sink toward the ocean floor, Lu Changsheng exhaled a long breath of relief. Regardless of the cost, the True Spirit Tribulation had been overcome. Still, he couldn't help but feel speechless—was this what they called a "sure thing"? If he had anticipated such a narrow margin of survival, he would have provided more Void Kun Essence Blood and Heavenly Spirit Medicine beforehand.
Gathering its remaining demonic power, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale forced its mangled body back to the surface. It let out a defiant bellow, siphoning the lingering essence energy left behind by the dispersing clouds. In an instant, its flesh began to knit together, covered by crystalline scales. The cracked horn fell away, replaced by two emerging, translucent dragon horns.
"Howl-how!"
At that moment, the circling Demon Kings began to close in. Fortunately, no Fourth Rank Demon King was present. Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng released their own terrifying auras as a warning, signaling the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale to retreat to the Sea Eye. There, it could use the Third Rank Formation to hide its presence and recover.
One particular Whale King at the peak of the Third Rank was so consumed by the desire for True Spirit flesh that it ignored the danger and charged forward.
"Courting death!"
Lu Changsheng showed no mercy. The Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand erupted with a world-shaking light that cleaved the sky and the sea alike. Blood sprayed as the Whale King howled in agony. Simultaneously, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng struck like a blazing sun, its talons tearing deep into the Whale King's hide. The Peng was also hungry for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale's power, so it decided to satisfy its instincts by feasting on this intruder instead.
As the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale vanished into the Sea Eye, the brutal death of the Whale King caused the other Demon Kings' fear to outweigh their greed. They glanced at Lu Changsheng with trepidation and beat a hasty retreat.
Lu Changsheng didn't stop there. He blurred forward, his Great Luo Sword Embryo flashing like a radiant sun to cripple another Demon King. Using the Yin Yang Qi Grasp, he bound and suppressed the beast, dragging it toward the Sea Eye to serve as nourishment for his pet. Upon arriving, he saw the whale's body rapidly reconstructing itself, fully evolving into a Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale!
"Go ahead and nourish yourself well."
The earlier tension washed away, replaced by Lu Changsheng's immense satisfaction. Once the baptism was complete and the transformation into a Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale was finalized, the path to the Fourth Rank would be effortless. A True Spirit Level creature at the Fourth Rank would possess combat power far exceeding a standard Nascent Soul Cultivator; it would be the undisputed sovereign of Great Dream Marsh! Even if a top-tier expert like Xuanjian True Monarch arrived, Lu Changsheng would no longer feel threatened.
"Thank you, Master!"
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale sent a message of gratitude before beginning to consume the blood essence of the captured Demon King.
"Big Black, how long will this metamorphosis take?" Lu Changsheng inquired.
"Probably three to five years?" the dragon whale replied. It had considered saying it just needed a nap, but decided on a more realistic estimate.
"Three to five years..."
While that was a mere blink of an eye for a long-lived Third Rank Demon King, Lu Changsheng couldn't afford to wait here that long. "We will return first. You can finish your sleep once we reach the vicinity of Great Dream Immortal City."
"Alright." Although it preferred the natural energy of the Sea Eye, the dragon whale did not question its master’s command.
Looking at the half-formed flesh of the dragon whale, Lu Changsheng pressed a hand to his chest. The Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone vibrated, releasing a surge of vibrant, exuberant divine light that flowed into the massive creature. Even though Lu Changsheng looked like a speck next to the whale, his Healing Divine Light was potent enough to accelerate its recovery significantly.
"Buzz-buzz-buzz!!!"
Under the rhythmic pulse of the divine light, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale’s wounds vanished, replaced by new flesh brimming with incredible vitality.
