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 moment as time moved forward.

Following a period of intense preparation, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit had surpassed their limits. They surged with the intensity of a boundless ocean, manifesting a heavy, suffocating field of absolute dread.

To ensure their presence did not disturb 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 as he cast his gaze toward the Heavenly Dome.

“Zzzzz!!!”

Grey tribulation clouds began to congregate behind the thick veil of mist. Arcs of lightning pulsed within the mass, firmly locking their target onto the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale.

Vast quantities of erratic purple lightning flickered like tiny serpents within the clouds. They soon merged, brewing into thunder snakes, pythons, and flood dragons before finally manifesting as massive thunder dragons. Each roar of the sky was saturated with a destructive Qi mechanism and the terrifying weight of Heavenly might.

“So this constitutes the True Spirit Tribulation? It is formidable, yet... it doesn't seem entirely overwhelming...”

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Changsheng watched with precision. He felt as though he could personally endure the strike of such thunderbolts.

However, he was well aware that the Heavenly Tribulation was not a solitary bolt but a series of strikes, each growing exponentially in power!

Lu Changsheng gripped the Great Luo Sword Embryo while the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror hovered protectively above him. He commanded A Wu to monitor every direction, fearing that a Demon King like the Void Kun might be lurking within the Great Void to stage an ambush.

Despite possessing a soul at the Nascent Soul level, the oppressive atmosphere deep within the Great Dream Marsh still hampered his senses, preventing him from achieving total perception.

...

The duration of 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 foggy reaches of the Great Dream Marsh.

“Roar!”

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale let out a deep, resonant cry. Its colossal frame radiated a dark, tranquil light as it summoned a massive tsunami. By channeling the strength of the Water Vein, it rose to meet the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.

The first strike slammed into the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, yet it failed to inflict any harm. Its scales, which looked as though they were forged from Outer Heaven Mystical Iron, gleamed with a frigid brilliance while intricate dragon patterns pulsed beneath the surface.

“Boom!”

Shortly after, the second strike of the thunder tribulation fell, its intensity increased by thirty percent compared to the first.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale fought back, but its crystalline demonic power began to fragment. The luster of its protective scales faded, and small wounds started to mar its flesh.

“The injuries are superficial for now, but this is only the second strike. With the power escalating, the danger remains significant.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression turned solemn as he monitored the whale and the swirling tribulation clouds.

Yet, upon closer inspection, a tremendous life force could be seen surging through the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale. The minor wounds it had just sustained healed in an instant as its demonic power reformed.

This was due to its body and bloodline reaching a transformative peak; its massive reserves of life source were still being processed.

Unlike Human Race Cultivators, Demon Beasts possessed superior capacity for storage and digestion. When attempting a Cultivation breakthrough, they would consume immense quantities of Demon Beast blood and various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to bolster their foundation.

The third Heavenly Tribulation soon descended.

This time, it wasn't a lone bolt but several striking at once, turning the world into a terrifying landscape of blinding light.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale tapped into the Sea Eye Spirit Vein, generating relentless tides. It then triggered its innate divine ability, causing the sharp horn on its brow to radiate a piercing Qi mechanism as it continued its frontal assault against the sky.

“Boom!”

Amidst the deafening, horrific thunder, more scorched patches appeared across its vast body.

Even though the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale signaled that it was fine, Lu Changsheng watched the unfolding disaster with growing anxiety. He found it difficult to remain still, worried the creature might fail to survive the ordeal.

It could be said that the whale shared the mindset of most cultivators: as long as the end goal was reached, the pain of the process was irrelevant.

However, Lu Changsheng’s definition of a successful breakthrough involved crossing the tribulation unscathed, using the lightning solely as a means to refine one's form.

The fourth thunder tribulation crashed down like a falling ocean, nearly drowning the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale in lightning.

At that moment, the sky and sea seemed to merge through the electrical discharge, a sight that made even Lu Changsheng tremble.

Luckily, they were in the most remote part of the Great Dream Marsh. Had this occurred near the Great Dream Immortal City, the display would have surely paralyzed the local population with terror.

“Boom boom boom——”

Like a relentless tide, this wave of the tribulation battered the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale. Its Water Armor shattered, and the scales covering its body were torn away, leaving behind charred, bleeding flesh.

The surrounding waters crackled with purple electricity; consequently, even the distant fish and shrimp were caught in the discharge, floating to the surface as scorched remains.

“While the Heavenly Tribulation is a disaster, it also serves as a baptism—a gift from the world itself...”

Lu Changsheng observed the whale’s shattered defenses and mangled flesh, yet he also saw new tissue and scales regenerating at an incredible pace.

“Rising from the ashes of defeat, finding life in the silence of oblivion—all things find a new beginning through destruction!”

This reminded Lu Changsheng of the breakthroughs in his own Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art. It was also a transition from death to life, a total metamorphosis of one's being.

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

“The Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation for a human follows a similar logic. Utilizing a Tribulation Transcending Treasure might lessen the burden and provide defense, but it also dilutes the baptism and weakens one's core foundation.”

“Then again, most people are satisfied just to reach the Nascent Soul stage and survive the lightning. Who would worry about such details? Only the truly elite would strive for more!”

“Before I step into the Nascent Soul realm, I could potentially achieve Fourth Rank Body Refining to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation early. That way, I won't have to fear the future tribulation and can endure it with my physical strength alone.”

“The primary difficulty is the Heavenly Nascent Soul, which requires the soul to leave the body so that the new Nascent Soul can be baptized by the lightning and absorb the Heavenly Dao Qi!”

As he watched the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale struggle against the heavens, Lu Changsheng found himself gaining several new insights into the path of Cultivation.
