Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1948: 509: The First 4th-Rank Spiritual Pet!

Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Quanzhen convinced Shi Hai and Wugu Old Demon of his ties to the Demonic Sect through his mastery of the Kunpeng Demon Technique, leading them to ally and escort him into the Kunpeng Nest, where the technique instinctively absorbed chaotic qi. Three months later, Lu Changsheng assisted Yan Lan in preparing for her False Core breakthrough in Great Dream Immortal City, providing her with a top-grade spiritual object and easing her tensions through dual cultivation before she began the process. Departing with Hong Lian, he guided the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale to the Sea Eye for its advancement to Fourth Rank, where after two months, the beast's breakthrough stirred the waters into massive vortices, unleashing a surge of quasi-fourth rank demon qi.

The swirling vortex on the Great Dream Marsh Sea's surface pulls in spiritual energy from every corner.

Beyond that, the gray fog hovering over the Great Dream Marsh gets dragged away by these swirling forces.

As the whirlpool expands further, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale down in the Sea Eye glows like a spectral sun, emitting brilliant rays that turn the ocean water shadowy and deep.

Without deploying his special abilities, Lu Changsheng spots the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale wrapped around the Sea Eye, pushing hard toward a breakthrough into Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King!

"True Spirit Bloodline..."

Hong Lian's lovely eyes gleam brightly, her pupils bursting with paired red fires, just like a Vermilion Bird Divine Bird taking flight, watching the scene unfolding in front of her.

She had witnessed Third Rank Demon Kings rising to the Fourth Rank in her previous life.

Yet the disturbance from the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale stands out as truly massive.

"Zizi—"

From Lu Changsheng’s sleeve, the Soul-calling Beast stirred from its rest, sticking out its tiny head to peer down into the sea's depths.

Still, it showed discomfort with this ocean setting, favoring the area around the Myriad Demon Abyss instead.

Lu Changsheng stroked the Soul-calling Beast’s soft little head, telling it to stay calm and assuring it he'd summon help if required.

One has to admit, the Soul-calling Beast proves simple to handle.

Following two years of rest and absorption, it had advanced to Third Rank Top Level.

After fully processing the Fourth Rank Demonized Lizard’s Beast Pill, it could hit Quasi-Fourth Rank, setting the stage for a jump to Fourth Level Transformed Demon King!

"Hmm?"

Hong Lian spotted the Soul-calling Beast in Lu Changsheng’s grasp and naturally examined it closely.

Its cute look carries no fearsome qi presence, more like a monkey just acting playful.

But drawing from her earlier life as a Nascent Soul True Lord and Fourth Rank Beast Tamer, she quickly sensed the intricate nature of this small creature.

Plus, given Lu Changsheng's ways, if this tiny beast served no role, he wouldn't carry it; it'd probably serve as a spiritual pet for his kids to enjoy back home.

...

"Whoosh... whoosh..."

With time ticking by, the strange occurrence around the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale grows ever more spectacular.

The tides of spiritual energy and ocean swirls slowly stretch out to cover hundreds, then thousands of miles nearby.

Fish, shrimp, and other demon beasts in the area either escape or get drawn into the vast jaws of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, becoming fuel for its power.

Up to now, no demon king has ventured close enough to meddle.

A few days on, signs of tribulation start to build over the Great Dream Marsh, with ominous clouds rolling in.

"When a demon beast's inner core pushes to Fourth Rank, it draws down Heavenly Tribulation!"

Lu Changsheng watches the tribulation clouds taking shape in the sky above, understanding that the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's advancement proceeds without hitches.

These clouds stem from the Great Dao's own laws.

They serve to test the rise and progress of a demon king.

Smooth gathering of dark clouds and rising tribulation energy signal a breakthrough's success.

Stagnant or fading clouds mean the demon king falls short in power and could very well fail.

Half a month passes.

The tribulation clouds overhead resemble a massive black monster curled across the heavens, drawing in from everywhere, piling up thickly to blanket the entire sky and shut out all light from the sun.

Inside those dark masses, streaks of lightning twist like silver snakes, darting amid the clouds with thunderous crashes, as though set on ripping the world asunder.

Even Lu Changsheng, Hong Lian, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and the Soul-calling Beast sense the unseen weight pressing down from this vast sky event.

Though gaining a True Spirit Bloodline boosts the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's future greatly, the heavenly tribulation's might ramps up to match!

"Roar!!!"

The instant the tribulation clouds lock into place, a low, echoing bellow rumbles up from the heart of the Great Dream Marsh's Sea Eye.

Hundreds of sea swirls blend into one enormous maelstrom, trembling wildly and unleashing endless waves of surges.

These surges roll out like collapsing peaks, building high, smashing together, and hurling sprays dozens of feet into the air.

Wherever the waves strike, rocks and demon beasts shatter, swallow up, and reduce to dust.

And at the core of the Sea Eye's whirl, the enormous, mountain-like Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale starts to emerge, cloaked in a shadowy black sheen, wreathed in draconic demon evil energy, its presence flaring with raw power.

"Buzz!"

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale eyes the tribulation clouds overhead, issues a deep growl, and expels a mysterious, pitch-black, profound Essence Soul Pill laced with dark gold and azure designs.

This marks its climb to Fourth Rank!

The Fourth Rank Demon Pill releases an endless, chasm-deep qi aura, blending with immense demon qi and the sea's natural spiritual energy across the endless waters.

Sudden gales whip up whirlwinds from nothing, forming dark columns that link sky and depths, roaring upward from the ocean floor to the heights without pause.

In this very moment, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's vital essence shatters the limits of Quasi-Fourth Rank, achieving a core transformation and entering Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King, its essence, qi, and spirit surging and climbing fast.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lu Changsheng senses the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's qi presence rivaling the old Void Kun.

Should it conquer the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, with its essence, qi, and spirit making a full surge, it will outstrip both the Void Kun and Deep Sea Demon Whale King to claim total rule over the Great Dream Marsh!

By then, the vast Great Dream Marsh would bow to his will.

Even with the Heavenly Sword Sect and Xuanjian True Monarch showing up, he'd face them without a shred of fear!

In that moment, a wave of pride and eagerness swelled within Lu Changsheng's chest.

He knew the years of investment in the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had paid off handsomely.

"Zzz!!!"

The frenzied purple lightning of the sky's tribulation hits its peak, with endless tribulation energies wrapping around the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.

"So this is the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation..."

Lu Changsheng observed that the heavenly tribulation unfolding now dwarfed the terror of his own Fourth Rank trial.
