Chapter 547: Breaking Through to War Emperor

The void, which had been clear and sunny moments before, suddenly darkened. A terrifying, oppressive aura swept across the heavens and earth, spreading a dreadful divine might.

Boom! Thunder roared, shaking the nine heavens. The void turned pitch black, with dazzling lightning surging, exuding an aura of destruction that made hearts tremble.

No one knew how far this fluctuation spread. How terrifying was the life energy contained within the Divine Garden? The tribulation lightning it produced was far beyond what the outside world could compare.

Various creatures in the Divine Mountain retreated one after another. This tribulation lightning was no ordinary one. Moreover, it was a mixed tribulation, and even beings at the Great Ability level dared not set foot in it.

Xiaoqing's entire body shone with brilliant golden light, as if golden rain were falling from the sky, suffused with auspicious clouds. An immortal divinity spread, making him seem like a minor deity.

"Not bad. From the Dao resonance emitted by the Enlightenment Divine Flower, you've comprehended a trace of immortal will!" Yang Tian's gaze swept over Xiaoqing, and he nodded with a smile.

Xiaoqing's eyelashes curved in delight. He chuckled and said, "The ancient Heavenly Roc King is truly powerful. With just a trace of his bloodline, I've comprehended immortality, and my physical body now possesses the aura of the Roc King!"

"No wonder they care so much about the roc—it's because of the Heavenly Roc King's divine blood." Yang Tian nodded to himself, recalling the two golden feet of the Three-Legged Golden Crow still in his Ancestral Dragon Ring.

"Uncle Xiao said that for the Dharma Form to grow, it needs the divine blood of the Three-Legged Golden Crow. But I wonder how to control it?" Yang Tian mused silently.

Boom! Suddenly, the void split apart, like a dragon tearing the sky, gripping hearts and causing eardrums to buzz.

Yang Tian slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the rolling thunderclouds in the void. Then he looked at the distant creatures, his pupils contracting.

Around him were no fewer than twenty terrifying beings, each a prodigy of their race, possessing formidable combat power, extremely fearsome.

"I need to break through to Soul Refining, or this battle will be difficult!" Yang Tian shouted inwardly after scanning the surroundings. Most of those around were interested in his divine objects, so he couldn't just sit idly.

Rumble! The long-brewing tribulation lightning erupted, streaking across the void and illuminating all directions. A surging sea of thunder instantly crashed down, engulfing the void.

"Pity, there's no heavenly punishment..." Yang Tian sighed slightly, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. If the outside creatures knew his thoughts, would they spit blood?

The sea of thunder descended, silver divine light blazing like a heavenly river falling, crushing mountains. The turbulent waves surged downward, striking at Yang Tian and the others.

The terrifying sea of thunder instantly engulfed the two of them. The surrounding creatures were astonished—they didn't even resist, letting the myriad thunderbolts strike them without flinching.

"Impressive. If they grow up, they'll become peerless human powerhouses!" Many creatures were secretly amazed. The intensity of the tribulation lightning was no joke, far beyond what a War Emperor could withstand.

"As the rumors say, he possesses the Thunder Origin within!" Kui Long shouted, his voice like thunder, echoing across the wilderness.

Within the heavy sea of thunder, myriad lightning bolts danced. A layer of terrifying chaotic light cut across the interior, and the surrounding tribulation lightning bombarded wildly but could never break through.

Yang Tian sat cross-legged inside, like a deity overlooking all living beings, his aura transcendent and fearsome.

Below, a cauldron emitted divine radiance, humming inside. The aroma of meat wafted out, radiating powerful divine brilliance. They were actually stewing precious meat under the tribulation lightning!

Xiaoqing was very happy, wiping a drop of crystal drool from the corner of his mouth, sniffing the pervasive fragrance, looking intoxicated.

Inside were not only the precious meat of the roc but also a golden foot drained of divine blood, stewed together with many precious herbs of terrifying age, including three ten-thousand-year-old herbs!

"Ah..." Outside, a chubby porcelain doll suddenly twitched his little nose. When he caught the scent of meat, his big eyes instantly curved into crescent moons, looking very pleased.

"Didn't even call me..." Little White muttered. Under the horrified gazes of those around, he appeared directly in the sea of thunder. His whole body surged with terrifying whirlpools, and he strode in, the surrounding tribulation lightning seemingly afraid.

"Impossible!" Peng Feng shouted in disbelief, unable to accept this change. The tribulation lightning didn't attack him.

"No!" The White Tiger's pupils suddenly contracted, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. This child was likely a divine beast whose true form he couldn't discern, too terrifying.

"Sister Yuan, who is this chubby child?" Yu Yao asked, puzzled. Her bright eyes emitted divine light, but she still couldn't see Little White's true form, full of confusion.

"Just a child." Hearing this, Yuan Xia's lips curled into a faint, barely noticeable smile.

"You're lying..." Yu Yao squinted at her, not believing it at all, her lips pouting as if wronged.

The Devouring Heaven Divine Beast was known as one of the three super divine beasts, capable of devouring all things, reputed to swallow everything. This race had vanished from the continent for countless ages, but in ancient times, they had a fearsome reputation that made all creatures tremble.

Little White could walk in safely because of the whirlpools blooming all over his body, which could devour all things, let alone this tribulation lightning. Now, Little White was no weakling; he was a genuine Demon Emperor.

Little White poked his head in, his big dark eyes fixed on the precious meat in the cauldron, drooling profusely. He was very greedy and chuckled.

"Yummy... yummy..." His big eyes darted around inside. Little White wiped his drool and waited obediently for the meat to cook.

In the void, Yang Tian's body surged with chaotic light, with strands of golden divine radiance seeping out. His might was terrifying, like a deity, devouring the essence of the eight directions to strengthen his cultivation.

The aura Yang Tian emitted grew increasingly oppressive, accompanied by the sound of the Great Dao within him, rumbling like a bombardment on a fortress. The terrifying sound was like a river bursting its banks, shocking the soul.

"Yang Tian is about to break through..." Little White blinked, watching the violently surging divine light around Yang Tian, and said.

"Break for me!" At that moment, Yang Tian suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly. His whole body trembled, and the 108 acupoints within him formed a microcosm, also trembling violently, erupting with terrifying aura.

Around him, surging life essence was instantly drawn, pouring into the top of Yang Tian's head. The golden lake in his dantian continuously expanded, generating more blood energy, and his power surged at a terrifying rate.

He devoured the essence of the eight directions, all his pores opened, and he sat like a deity, chanting scriptures.

His body channeled the life essence of the surroundings, strengthening the golden lake in Yang Tian's physique. The speed was extremely rapid.

"He broke through..." Xiaoqing's eyes widened slightly, then he spoke. He hadn't expected Yang Tian's foundation to be so terrifying—he hadn't even finished enduring the tribulation lightning before breaking through to War Emperor.

Heavy essence rolled like a sea, surging. Yang Tian's devouring speed was formidable; the surrounding life essence couldn't keep up with his absorption rate, showing how powerful he was.

At this moment, Yang Tian opened his mouth, and a sixth-grade pill appeared. It was a Tianqing Pill, a sixth-grade mid-level pill from the bet.

A precious pill fell, transforming into layers of surging essence. Cyan-jade energy rampaged within his body. The five Dharma Forms moved, swallowing streams of essence, then turning them into golden liquid and spitting it into the golden lake.

Yang Tian didn't stop. He took out a Longyan Pill, a pill refined from a dragon's inner core, highly effective for the physical body. Layers of golden energy burrowed into his flesh, strengthening his physique.

Rumble! The 108 acupoints rotated, chaotic light manifested, with deities sitting inside, forming a great microcosmic array. It shone brilliantly like a starry sea, interweaving essence and channeling it into the golden lake below.

"Hmm, the techniques have merged, but the derived essence is three parts more abundant than before!" After devouring for a while, Yang Tian was amazed but very pleased.

With each advancement, Yang Tian's power far exceeded that of his peers. Especially at the Great Ability stage, ordinary cultivators took decades to advance a single minor realm, and the combat power at the Great Ability stage was incomparable.

With Yuan Xia's peak Great Ability combat power, she could suppress two divine beasts while attacking some hybrids—that was the terror of realm. Of course, it also depended on Yuan Xia's brilliance and her mastery of divine abilities.

The aura Yang Tian emitted climbed rapidly. His terrifying power continuously grew stronger.
