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 simply acquiring knowledge through scrolls and rumors.
In this manner, the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth heavenly tribulations struck in succession.
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale appeared to be in a wretched state; its massive frame was charred black by the lightning, blood flowed in torrents, and its bones were shattered. Yet, Lu Changsheng could see with his own eyes that its titanic form was undergoing a continuous cycle of destruction and rebirth, transforming as if it were being forged anew!
Its entire silhouette had become more streamlined and elongated, particularly the tail and side fins.
Deep within its eyes, which resembled black holes leading to an abyss, a flicker of pale golden light ignited, shining with the intensity of a celestial sun.
Throughout this ordeal, Lu Changsheng utilized the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to observe the surroundings. He noticed several Demon Kings lurking hundreds of miles away, watching the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale with a mix of terror and overwhelming greed.
It wasn't just these Demon Kings; even the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng felt a primal, bloodline-driven urge while witnessing the tribulation. It hungered to consume the flesh and blood of the whale.
Typically, the True Spirit Bloodline remains hidden, but under the pressure of the True Spirit Tribulation, as the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale’s physical form disintegrated, its bloodline potential was forced to the surface. This leaking aura was an irresistible temptation for any demon beast!
"Boom!"
The ninth heavenly tribulation crashed down. The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale let out a deafening roar and unleashed its bloodline divine power, conjuring massive tornado tsunamis as it rose to meet the lightning head-on.
The scene was one of apocalyptic dread. The heavenly tribulation expanded until it swallowed everything in sight, creating an atmosphere of suffocating oppression.
Even a powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator would find it nearly impossible to endure such a heavenly tribulation.
Lu Changsheng’s Fire Golden Eye erupted with brilliant beams of light. He watched as the whale's demonic power was shredded by the impact. Its newly formed scales and flesh were repeatedly torn away and reduced to ash, its bones groaned under the pressure, and even the single horn on its brow began to crack.
If it weren't for the ironclad rule that prevents outsiders from interfering in a heavenly tribulation, Lu Changsheng would have long since activated his Healing Divine Light to provide assistance.
A short while later, the thick tribulation clouds in the sky finally began to scatter.
"Huh!"
Lu Changsheng watched the mangled, almost skeletal remains of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale sink toward the ocean floor and exhaled a long, shaky breath.
Regardless of the cost, the True Spirit Tribulation had been overcome.
But to call such a harrowing ordeal a "sure thing"?
Lu Changsheng was at a loss for words.
Had he realized the difficulty would be this extreme, he would have stockpiled far more Void Kun Essence Blood and Heavenly Spirit Medicine for the creature.
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale gathered its remaining demonic power. Dragging its broken body, it stubbornly breached the surface and bellowed at the heavens, inhaling the lingering world essence left behind by the vanishing clouds.
In an instant, its ruined flesh began to knit together. New scales appeared, coated in a crystalline sheen. The cracked horn fell away, replaced by a pair of emerging, translucent dragon horns.
"Howl-how!"
At that exact moment, the predatory Demon Kings began to close in on the site.
Fortunately, no Fourth Rank Demon King was present. Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng both released waves of terrifying suppression. He signaled for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale to retreat to the Sea Eye, where it could use the Third Rank Formation to hide its presence and recover.
One particular Third Rank Late Stage Whale King, blinded by its lust for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale’s potent blood, ignored the danger and charged forward.
"Courting death!"
Lu Changsheng showed no mercy. The Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand flashed with a world-shaking sword light that tore through the void. The strike cleaved the very sea in half, leaving the Whale King howling as blood sprayed into the air.
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng struck like a descending golden sun. Its talons ripped through the Whale King's hide, tearing away chunks of meat.
The Peng was also craving the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, so it settled for devouring this Whale King to satisfy its hunger.
As the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale vanished into the Sea Eye, the brutal death of the Whale King caused the other Demon Kings to reconsider. Their fear finally outweighed their instincts; they looked at Lu Changsheng with dread and chose to flee.
Seeing them scatter, Lu Changsheng blurred forward. His Great Luo Sword Embryo struck like a radiant sun, leaving another Demon King heavily wounded. He then used the Yin Yang Qi Grasp to bind and suppress the beast, dragging it toward the Sea Eye to serve as nourishment for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale.
Upon entering the Sea Eye, he saw the whale's broken frame rapidly mending. It was fully evolving into a Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale!
"Go on, use this to restore your strength."
Though he had been anxious earlier, Lu Changsheng was now filled with joy. The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale had successfully survived the True Spirit Tribulation.
Once it finished its baptism and fully stabilized as a Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, its breakthrough to the Fourth Rank would be effortless.
A Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale possessing a True Spirit Level Bloodline would, upon reaching the Fourth Rank, possess combat power far exceeding a standard Nascent Soul Cultivator. It would become the undisputed sovereign of the Great Dream Marsh!
Even if a top-tier expert like Xuanjian True Monarch arrived, Lu Changsheng would now have the confidence to face him!
"Thank you, Master!"
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale sent a message of gratitude to Lu Changsheng as it began to consume the blood essence of the captured Demon King.
"Big Black, how long will this metamorphosis take?"
Lu Changsheng inquired.
"Perhaps three to five years?"
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had intended to say it just needed a quick nap, but it eventually provided a more realistic estimate.
"Three to five years..."
To a Third Rank Demon King with a vast lifespan, such a duration was nothing more than a fleeting moment.
However, Lu Changsheng couldn't afford to wait here that long. He said, "We shall return first. You can enter your deep sleep once we reach the vicinity of the Great Dream Immortal City."
"Alright."
Although the whale felt the Sea Eye was more conducive to a swift ascension, it did not question Lu Changsheng’s command.
Observing the regenerating flesh of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Lu Changsheng placed his hand over his chest.
The Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone vibrated and pulsed before erupting with a vibrant, life-giving divine light that flowed into the massive dragon whale.
Even though the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale was gargantuan—making Lu Changsheng look like a mere speck beside it—his power was more than enough to accelerate its healing.
"Buzz-buzz-buzz!!!"
Under the influence of the Healing Divine Light, the dragon whale's mangled body mended at an incredible pace, soon overflowing with renewed vitality.
