Chapter 425 Great Dao Gold Thunder! Ascending to Immortal Emperor! (4K)
After the affair of the Blood Sea Palace concluded, Lu Changsheng devoted himself to cultivation in the sacred lands of Tai Hua, ready to make his assault on the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Between the Quasi-Emperor Realm and the Immortal Emperor Realm, just a minor boundary existed.
With the rewards of his Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, Lu Changsheng found the ascent to the Immortal Emperor Realm to be not so difficult.
Thus, ten thousand years passed by in tranquility.
During this period, Lu Changsheng bestowed Void Fruits upon his disciples, accumulating ninety-nine Origin Dao Fruits.
Lu Changsheng used the spiritual liquid of the Origin Dao Fruits for Body Tempering, cultivating the "Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art" to its tenth layer.
The Great Perfection of the tenth layer of the "Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art" meant that his bodily strength lay between that of a mid-grade Emperor Soldier and a low-grade Emperor Soldier.
Lu Changsheng then began cultivating the eleventh layer of the "Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art."
Once the eleventh layer was mastered, his physical body would be equivalent to a mid-grade Emperor Soldier.
Having enough Origin Dao Fruits, Lu Changsheng also possessed the resources needed to cultivate the eleventh layer of the "Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art."
[Ding, you have transferred 1,000,000 units of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple Lu Qinglian. Lu Qinglian actually received 200,000 units of Heavenly Cultivation. You received the mentor-system reward of returning one hundred fold: 20,000,000 units of Heavenly Cultivation.]
A vast amount of nature's spiritual energy emerged within Lu Changsheng, with a significant portion being divided between the Earth Scripture and the Nameless Ancient Cauldron, snatching away 10,000,000 units of cultivation.
The remaining 10,000,000 units of cultivation that Lu Changsheng refined were more than enough to challenge the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Breaking through from the Quasi-Emperor Realm to the Immortal Emperor Realm required facing the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation.
The Tai Hua sacred land had a space specially designed for Immortal Emperors to cross their tribulation, an independent realm carved out by the great experts who founded the holy land.
As Lu Changsheng made his push for the Immortal Emperor Realm, Lin Xuantong specially allowed Lu Changsheng to use this space until he broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Lu Changsheng consumed the fifteenth-grade Immortal Pill, the "Immortal Emperor Pill," and took his first glimpse into the Immortal Emperor Realm, with his Divine Sense entering a miraculous state.
Bottlenecks that he could not comprehend in the past now seemed to be illuminated as if by a sudden enlightenment.
In the vault of heaven, dark purple lightning brewed—the Chaos Divine Thunder one must face to become an Immortal Emperor.
When Lu Changsheng reached the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, he had also attracted some of the Chaos Divine Thunder.
However, the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation he faced this time was more than tenfold mightier than any heavenly tribulation before.
Naturally, crossing the tribulation as a Quasi-Emperor was much more difficult than as a half-step Golden Immortal.
Yet Lu Changsheng, having cultivated the "Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art" to the Great Perfection of the tenth layer, possessed a formidable physique and needn't fear the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation.
Lu Changsheng took out the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal, the Primordial Dao Method, the Five Elements Immortal Cauldron, and other Emperor Soldier magical artifacts, readying himself to confront the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation.
Lu Changsheng released his own limitations, his aura climbing incessantly.
Rumbling...
Countless dark purple lightnings descended, apocalyptic and cataclysmic, causing the earth to sink into oblivion.
Lu Changsheng's hair fluttered wildly as he brought out the Five Elements Immortal Cauldron; its radiance was dazzling, bursting with various colors, absorbing parts of the Chaos Divine Thunder!
In the eyes of Lu Changsheng, the Chaos Divine Thunder was also a kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The Five Elements Immortal Cauldron could absorb a portion of the Chaos Divine Thunder, refining the divine thunder into pure spiritual energy.
As Lu Changsheng broke through, the Chaos Divine Thunder he induced blanketed the sky; the Five Elements Immortal Cauldron could only absorb a part of it, leaving Lu Changsheng to rely on his physical body and cultivation to confront the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation head-on.
"Primordial Heaven-Splitting Fist!"
Lu Changsheng shattered the dark purple heavenly lightning with his fists.
Streams of dark purple lightning dissipated.
Even when struck by dark purple heavenly lightning, his physique, tempered by the "Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art," surpassed that of a low-grade Emperor Soldier, and even the Five Elements Immortal Cauldron remained unscathed by the Heavenly Tribulation, so Lu Changsheng's body was more than capable of withstanding the onslaught.
The Chaos Heavenly Tribulation raged for an entire day and night, yet Lu Changsheng stood unfazed between heaven and earth, with the Chaos Divine Thunder unable to harm even a hair on his head.
Lu Changsheng even used the Chaos Divine Thunder to temper his body according to the eleventh layer techniques of the "Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art," surprisingly completing a cycle of Body Tempering.
The Chaos Divine Thunder indeed could be considered a Heavenly Material, suitable for Body Tempering.
"Isn't this over yet?"
Lu Changsheng found that the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation had persisted for a day and night without ending, and he couldn't help but feel numb.
If this continued, there was a good chance he'd be worn down bit by bit by the heavenly tribulation.
Lu Changsheng held on for another hour, and at last, the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation began to show signs of exhaustion.
Just as Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, golden thunderbolts ripped through the sky, descending from the Nine Heavens!
The golden heavenly thunder was even more terrifying than the dark purple divine thunder, containing within it the laws of the Great Dao!
This even made Lu Changsheng hesitate.
In the records, it was mentioned that when crossing the tribulation to become an Immortal Emperor, one would only encounter the dark purple Chaos Divine Thunder; there was no mention of golden divine thunder!
But with the golden divine thunder upon him, and the Thunder of Heavenly Tribulation impossible to evade, Lu Changsheng could only bring out the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal to withstand the golden divine thunder.
The Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal emitted blue and white divine lights, expanding to the size of a mountain and positioning itself above Lu Changsheng's head.
When the golden divine thunder struck the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal, this low-grade Emperor Soldier artifact showed tiny cracks.
The golden divine thunder could destroy even low-grade magical artifacts!
Something didn't seem quite right.
The golden divine thunder, akin to a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, descended from the sky, bombarding the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal repeatedly.
As the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal shook violently, after blocking dozens of golden divine thunders, it finally shattered!
Pieces of the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal scattered in all directions.
A low-grade Emperor Soldier was gone just like that.
But Lu Changsheng wasn't distressed; such a low-grade Emperor Soldier was insignificant, for with the system in hand, he could obtain more in the future.
Lu Changsheng had no time to concern himself with the damaged Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal, as without its protection, the golden divine thunder headed straight for him.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda spontaneously protected its master, appearing above Lu Changsheng's head and emitting a brilliant light that diminished the power of the golden divine thunder.
Lu Changsheng threw a punch, smashing a bolt of the golden divine thunder.
At the same time, Lu Changsheng cast nine Golden Immortal Puppet Talismans, directing them to each wield a Nine Heavens Immortal Sword and form the Nine Heavens Sword Formation to cope with the successive onslaught of golden divine thunder.
