Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1949: 509: The First Tier-4 Spiritual Pet! (part 2)

Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
A massive maelstrom swirls across the Great Dream Marsh Sea, drawing in spiritual energy and dispersing the lingering gray mist, as the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale coils around the Sea Eye, radiating brilliant light in its push toward Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King status. Lu Changsheng observes the spectacle alongside Hong Lian, whose eyes ignite with crimson flames, while the Soul-calling Beast stirs from slumber in his sleeve, now at Third Rank Top Level and nearing its own advancement, though averse to the sea. Over days, the vortexes expand to thousands of miles, devouring sea creatures without interference from other demon kings, culminating in the gathering of ominous tribulation clouds that blanket the sky and unleash dancing lightning. The whale emerges, roaring deeply as it expels its profound Fourth Rank Demon Pill, its aura surging to rival ancient powerhouses, just as the terrifying Transformation Heavenly Tribulation descends.

In part, this stemmed from the influence of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's bloodline.

Additionally, the Demonic Tribulation faced by demon beasts proves less intense than that endured by Human Clan cultivators, resulting in a more ferocious Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.

Nevertheless, this racial distinction carries both benefits and drawbacks.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale gazed toward the heavenly tribulation, its dragon horns standing tall, as it swallowed the Fourth Rank Demon Pill into its stomach, while its wide, sturdy fins struck the surrounding seawater, whipping up swirling tornado hurricanes that merged with its Qi Mechanism.

"Boom!"

The initial bolt of heavenly lightning struck down, morphing into scores of enormous purple thunder pythons.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's inky black scales, gleaming with a shadowy golden sheen, withstood the assault directly, though numerous nearby tornado hurricanes broke apart.

Soon after, the second lightning tribulation arrived, expansive like a thunderous ocean, lighting up the heavens and earth in a dazzling display, striking with exceptional ferocity.

Lu Changsheng, together with Hong Lian and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, pulled back a bit further.

While this level of heavenly tribulation posed no threat to him, for Hong Lian at the Core Formation Seventh Layer, it demanded the use of mana to dispel the lingering Qi Mechanism.

Furthermore, based on the assessment from Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian, Demon Kings were likely to launch attacks amid this ordeal, driven by desire for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's flesh and demon pill, making it essential to preserve peak condition throughout.

"Boom Boom Boom!"

The third heavenly tribulation thundered down with a thunderous clamor, aiming not just to crush all under heaven and earth but also to shatter the very soul, linked to the cosmos in boundless scale.

The deep azure and profound light barrier enveloping the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale cracked under the onslaught, revealing its vast array of dark black scales now scorched and torn, with blood seeping out.

Although the injuries weren't critical, it followed Lu Changsheng's guidance by beginning to refine the [Devil Muscle Blood Generation Pill] within its abdominal cavity, gearing up for the fourth heavenly tribulation.

The fourth heavenly tribulation raged even more violently, its lightning surging like raging waves, nearly engulfing the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale entirely.

Even within the Great Dream Marsh, leveraging the endless seawater to neutralize the heavenly tribulation's force, it still ended up with flayed skin, battered form, multiple areas burned black, and blood spilling forth to dye the ocean red.

Heavy wounds notwithstanding, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's demonic aura surged skyward, its Qi and blood surging powerfully, displaying no hint of surrender as it kept its head raised defiantly, battling on with unyielding vigor.

Its pair of majestic dragon horns resembled twin razor-sharp blades, radiating a somber golden glow, unleashing a fearsome Qi Mechanism that could churn rivers and oceans alike.

"Indeed, it lives up to being a True Spirit Level Bloodline Demon Beast, facing it straight on like this....."

Hong Lian focused completely on the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, seizing the chance to grasp more about True Spirit Level Bloodline Demon Beasts.

While demon beasts possess robust physiques, their Heart Tribulation pales in comparison to that of human cultivators.

Still, when it comes to heavenly tribulations, demon beasts suffer a far higher mortality rate than human cultivators.

Demon Kings, blessed with greater spiritual awareness, often instinctively pursue various Tribulation Transcending Treasures to boost their odds of enduring the tribulation before attempting Fourth Rank.

Thus, for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale to depend solely on its mighty body and the Great Dream Marsh, enduring four heavenly tribulations directly and remaining upright, stands as a remarkable feat.

After all, transcending tribulation demands sustained endurance in battle.

Should grave injuries mount early, eroding the spirit, the ensuing lightning tribulations and heart tribulations would escalate in peril manyfold.

Yet another surge of thunder tides poured forth, blazing like charging war steeds, as countless savage pythons whipped across the immense frame of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, dark golden blood spraying continuously.

For a powerhouse like the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, emerging from the full heavenly tribulation without a scratch proved impossible.

"Cease the direct confrontation."

Lu Changsheng sent a message to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, advising it to employ magical treasures.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale parted its enormous jaws, allowing a purple-black dual-hued treasure umbrella to whirl into position overhead.

Even as the [Thunder Transformation Umbrella] grew to several zhang amid the winds, it appeared somewhat mismatched atop the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's head, akin to a tiny bamboo toy.

The sixth heavenly tribulation slammed down.

Despite the aid of the Thunder Transformation Umbrella, as merely a Superior Grade Treasure, its utility remained constrained, offering just scant protection.

"When facing the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's heavenly tribulation, a Third Rank Superior Grade falls far short; at minimum, a quasi-Fourth Rank Thunder Transformation Umbrella would provide meaningful aid."

Witnessing the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's ravaged and pitiful condition, Lu Changsheng gained a clear sense of this Tribulation Transcending Treasure's capabilities.

Should he pursue the Heavenly Nascent Soul stage, crafting a quasi-Fourth Rank Thunder Transformation Umbrella became imperative!

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale processed yet another [Devil Muscle Blood Generation Pill] alongside a [Beast Spirit Bone Melt Pill], its form mending visibly, shining with renewed vigor, as it upheld the Thunder Transformation Umbrella, its dragon horns flaring with intense radiance, to weather the seventh heavenly tribulation.

"Hmm!?"

Right then, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror beside Lu Changsheng quivered faintly.

Demon King!

The aura of a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King!

Demon beasts bearing True Spirit Level bloodlines such as the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale release an irresistible allure into the sea via their spilled blood, drawing any demon beast near!

However, the awesome power of the Fourth Rank Transformation Heavenly Tribulation deters ordinary demon beasts from drawing close.

Even those that ventured near would perish amid the scattered energies.

Merely quasi-Fourth Rank and superior Demon Kings would dare venture forth, braving immense peril in hopes of consuming the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale!

"Golden Peng, investigate."

Although only one Demon King's Qi Mechanism registered for now, more could emerge shortly, and to prevent any diversion, Lu Changsheng directed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to scout.

Having reached Third Rank Top Level, it could flee at the slightest threat even against a Fourth Rank Demon King, despite lacking the strength to win.

"Screech!"

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng acknowledged with a cry, speeding off toward the Fourth Rank Demon King's location.

Shortly thereafter, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror picked up another subtle trace from the Starry Sky Sea direction.

This came from a quasi-Fourth Rank Demon King harboring latent divine abilities, driven by an innate urge to attain Fourth Rank by feasting on the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's flesh and demon pill!

"Transcending tribulation holds perils not just for cultivators, who must watch for disruptions, but demon beasts face threats both throughout the process and in its aftermath."
