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 into nothingness in huge swathes.

Once the Tribulation Cloud cleared away, an enormous surge of incredibly refined natural spiritual energy rushed in from every direction, rapidly forming a colossal pillar of spiritual energy linking heaven and earth, spanning a width of twenty miles.

At that precise instant, numerous cultivators from the southeast, southwest, and northeast regions came to a stop, all staring in astonishment at the immense spiritual energy pillar, and they swiftly notified their sects and families of this remarkable occurrence.

"After three thousand years, a Divinity Transformation True Monarch has finally emerged once more in this world. What a cause for celebration!"

"Wait, that doesn't seem right. The Tribulation Cloud's coverage was so extensive earlier; it far surpasses 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 facing the tribulation, or our lives will be at grave risk!"

While diverse cultivators responded in varied ways to the sight of the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation, Zhao Sheng held his Giant Spirit Battle Body steady, with brilliant Divine Light shining from deep within his eyes as he observed the nearby void.

In a flash, an expansive and infinite shadow arose from the void, ever-present; 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 warping as though infused with some form of Law-level force.

The very next instant, a grayish ray burst forth with electrifying speed from his palm, directly breaching space-time barriers and carving out a "void" roughly a yard wide in the emptiness.

A space-time storm threatened to erupt from the void when abruptly, a towering and imposing silhouette materialized before it, its two massive grayish hands clamping onto the void's edges before violently ripping them asunder.

Rip!

The "void" tore open like fragile cloth, forming a wide gap; Zhao Sheng surged ahead, effortlessly slipping inside and vanishing from sight.

Within a single breath, the void sealed itself and mended, restoring the space-time barrier to once again divide the current world from the Dark Sky.

...

Meanwhile, twelve thousand miles distant at Green Deer Peak, a dire crisis had unfolded.

Cang Yanzi, Double Extreme Scholar, and Xuan Guang Taoist—three Golden Core Masters—had covertly entered Green Deer Peak. Following an extensive search, they remained unable to locate Huangfu Yuli's position.

Cang Yanzi discreetly seized a Foundation Establishment Elder and extracted Huangfu Yuli's background through questioning.

It emerged that Huangfu Yuli had assumed the guise of a Foundation Establishment Realm loose cultivator to join the Qinglu Qing Clan, later rising to the role of Minister Elder, where he had dwelled in seclusion ever since.

Possibly owing to a prior clash with Xuan Guang Taoist, Huangfu Yuli grew wary.

As a result, over the last ten days, he had not shown his face at Green Deer Peak whatsoever.

Observing this, Cang Yanzi once more covertly apprehended every Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qing Family for interrogation.

Green Deer Peak was gripped by chaos following the Ancestor's passing, so they paid little heed to the Minister Elder's whereabouts, with no one aware of his location.

Unable to uncover Huangfu Yuli through their hunt, the trio of Golden Core Masters opted to conceal themselves nearby and await his emergence.

This vigil stretched on for almost a year, during which adjacent cultivation factions repeatedly probed and claimed vast portions of the Qinglu Qing Clan's lands.

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

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

Huangfu Yuli, fresh from his return to the Lower Realm via Jixian Island, promptly received multiple summoning talismans. Without delay, he activated tunneling light and hurried back to Green Deer Peak.

In this way, the fierce clash ignited!

The three were utterly stunned by the adversary's formidable might, capable of holding his own against all three without faltering.

Huangfu Yuli's cultivation technique is named the "." This scripture came into Old Man Nanhua's possession via a deal with an Immortal Ruins Guest, serving as a supreme method that leads straight to Divinity Transformation.

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

Jixian Island overflowed with "Pure Water," rendering Huangfu Yuli as at ease as a fish in the sea upon his arrival. By refining substantial quantities of "Pure Water," he had elevated the divine ability "Mystic Abyss Illusion Sea" to a level never seen before.

Furthermore, through more than a century of dedicated cultivation, Huangfu Yuli's prowess had evolved dramatically; his cultivation now stood at the Golden Core Perfect Realm, merely a single stride from shattering the Nascent Soul Barrier.

Thus, as the confrontation commenced, the three Golden Core Masters teetered on the brink of a severe setback. Luckily, Cang Yanzi hailed from a renowned sect and promptly unleashed the Ancient Poison Flame, which barely held the line.

Regrettably, the entire Qinglu Qing Clan bore the brunt of this intense battle, with divine power techniques crashing down near Green Deer Peak, not only demolishing grand structures but also claiming the lives of numerous Qing Clan members with limited cultivation.

Having served as Minister Elder for numerous years, Huangfu Yuli couldn't ignore the Qing Family's plight and felt a surge of pity.

Consequently, he deliberately shifted the battlefield to a remote area; yet, this act of mercy exposed a critical flaw.

The trio of sly veterans, including Cang Yanzi, refused to overlook such an opening and swiftly adapted their approach. United, they obstructed Huangfu Yuli's path and intentionally directed devastating spells toward the Qing Family members below.

Witnessing this outrage, Huangfu Yuli flew into a fury and promptly revealed his utmost power, invoking his innate divine ability "Mystic Abyss Illusion Sea."

In that moment, the heavens morphed into an endless sea, massive waves rolling and spraying myriad water droplets. Peculiar rainbows danced amid the surges, blanketing the surrounding void across miles.

Cang Yanzi and his companions found themselves ensnared in a peculiar illusory domain, their divine senses and minds disoriented by the visions, blurring the line between truth and deception.

Just as the three Golden Core Masters neared defeat amid the illusions, a sigh resonated from behind Huangfu Yuli.

Sigh...

The sigh carried a subtle, profound tone, seeming both near and distant.

Huangfu Yuli's body hair bristled instantly, and he reflexively unleashed his full divine sense, manifesting as a psychic tempest surging rearward.

However... prior to the psychic tempest exerting its force, it was casually dismantled by a far superior divine thought.

At this juncture, a refined hand lightly settled upon Huangfu Yuli’s shoulder.

Huangfu Yuli had no chance to respond before an overwhelming alien mana permeated his form, coursing through his limbs and torso, rapidly locking his Golden Core within the Core Energy Sea.

Suddenly, Huangfu Yuli's body went rigid and motionless.

In an instant, a trace of divine light flickered from the midpoint of Huangfu Yuli’s forehead.

Crack!

A faint noise rang from his neck, followed by fragments of seven or eight shattered jade talismans tumbling from his garments.

Upon beholding this, the Taoist radiating a celestial presence furrowed his brow, then extended his hand to gather the fragments for a thorough inspection.

Yet... the runes etched on the jade talisman's surface bore no resemblance to those of this realm, and even as a high-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, the Taoist failed to identify them.

The Taoist felt an odd unease, drew nearer to Huangfu Yuli, and gravely inquired, "Whose jade talisman did you just break?"

"Hehe, curious, are you? Hold on a bit, and you'll discover it soon enough!" Huangfu Yuli scoffed.
