Chapter 849: The Tribulation of Becoming a God

Three days had passed since the Shenmu Lord and the Dahuang Lord fought the Chijin Mountain Lord, Dayi. In these three days, Chijin Mountain was still shrouded in thunderclouds, but no new Lord of the Baishan came to hinder Li Yi's tribulation to become a god.

After all, the two previous powerhouses had already verified Dayi's strength with their own lives.

Unless a god made a move, it was difficult for anyone to hinder his path to godhood. But near Chijin Mountain, there was no god, and the nearest Kingdom of Youfeng was also five thousand li away.

And on this ancient land of the savage world, a god would also follow ancient rules and would not hinder a Lord of the Baishan from becoming a god, because every God-Blood family had times of decline, and every Lord of the Baishan wanted to restore the glory of their ancestors.

If a god suppressed others by unscrupulous means, disaster would eventually descend on every God-Blood Warrior, after all, the kingdoms that worshipped gods also had times of decline and extinction.

And in these three days.

Li Yi sat in the depths of the Chijin Mountain range. His body autonomously swallowed the spiritual energy from all directions and massive life essence. Up to now, his body had grown to a hundred zhang tall, a true giant.

But after reaching this height, his body stopped growing, as if it had touched a certain limit.

"A hundred-zhang body, this is the symbol of a god. Could it be that our Chijin Mountain Lord has already become a god before passing the tribulation of becoming a god?" In Chishan City, a wise man climbed high and looked out. Seeing the giant about to be submerged by the sea of thunder, he was both excited and shocked.

"No, the Chijin Mountain Lord's body has only grown to the realm of a god, but his strength has not yet reached it. The divine power deposited in heaven and earth is still gathering. Only when he obtains the blessing of the ancestors' divine power can he be considered a true god."

Other High Priests of tribes also observed in Chishan City for several days and finally reached such a conclusion.

It was just why such a situation would occur.

Some wise men speculate that this is because the divine blood in the body of the Red-Gold Mountain Lord, Dayi, has reached a level comparable to that of a god, which is why his body matured prematurely. According to past circumstances, the divine blood within a typical Hundred-Mountain Lord would grow slowly until it triggered the will of the gods, inviting the Tribulation of Godhood, only after which would they break their limits and transform into a hundred-zhang giant.

That is to say, Chijin Mountain Dayi crossed that limit in a very short time and directly reached the level of a god.

And the root cause of this, of course, was Li Yi eating that silver apple.

The silver apple, which absorbed the residual bloodline power of the god's remains, directly caused Li Yi's body to transform to the level of a god, which was why it induced the descent of the god's will and appeared with such a tribulation.

"With my current realm, can I accept that divine power in the sea of thunder?" Li Yi looked up at the sea of thunder that had been brewing to the extreme.

And in the sea of thunder, a giant condensed from thunder, divine power, and the god's will had already manifested.

He had a premonition that the so-called tribulation of becoming a god was to personally defeat the incarnation of his ancestors and retrieve as much of the power deposited by his ancestors in heaven and earth as possible from the opponent.

As for how much he could retrieve, it all depended on his own ability.

Of course, it was also possible that because his strength was insufficient, he would be directly killed by the incarnation of the ancestral god.

"At most, there is half a day left before the trial begins." Li Yi thought to himself. He was already prepared, and his state was adjusted to the peak.

The only pity was that he could not obtain a powerful weapon or armor to increase his strength.

Whether it was the Demon King Weapon, the Chijin Treasure Armor, or the Treasure Moon Bow, none were enough to bear the subsequent battle, because his transformed body now could already surpass weapons of this level.

So in the subsequent battle, he could rely on Dao techniques and fist techniques.

Only by exerting his own strength to the extreme could he defeat the incarnation of the ancestral god and pass this tribulation.

Realizing this, Li Yi's Primordial Spirit Dharma Image began to practice fist techniques and Dao techniques, picking up skills that had not been used for a long time.

With a divine body a hundred zhang tall, waving fist techniques and mobilizing the divine power of the whole body to erupt, it would definitely produce unexpected effects. Sure enough, having one more skill to rely on was a good thing; one never knew when it might come in handy.

As time passed bit by bit.

When time reached the ninth day.

The sea of thunder above Chijin Mountain began to stop absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the gathered divine power also reached its limit and could not continue to increase. And at this moment, the god's incarnation in the sea of thunder began to revive.

Li Yi immediately returned his Primordial Spirit Dharma Image to its position, suddenly opened his eyes, and his body, a hundred zhang tall, stood up.

He smelled a powerful fighting intent.

Clearly, it was just a god manifested from heaven and earth energy, but after a will in the dark descended, it was like the god being reborn, possessing intelligence, but the opponent's intelligence was not complete, more inclined toward a kind of instinctive behavior.

With the resonance of bloodlines between each other.

The god's incarnation stood in the sea of thunder, infinite power bestowed upon him, then roared, declaring his return to this ancient heaven and earth.

Li Yi understood that the timing had arrived. Instead of passively waiting for the god's incarnation to kill him, it was better to take the initiative.

Thinking of this.

His huge body bloomed with silver brilliance, he took a step forward, a huge auspicious cloud appeared, carrying his body, a hundred zhang tall, and rushed toward the sea of thunder above the firmament.

"Boom."

The sea of thunder was churning and roaring because of the god's power. Countless terrifying bolts of lightning intertwined between heaven and earth, instantly cutting off everything. Anyone who tried to enter the sky would be ruthlessly struck by these bolts of lightning.

Only Li Yi was immune to this kind of lightning, because even if lightning struck his body, it would only be absorbed by him and become a part of his own strength.

Soon.

The sea of thunder was forcibly torn open by Li Yi. He leaped to the top of the firmament and appeared before the god's incarnation.

Upon meeting.

Without any hesitation or doubt, Li Yi threw a punch in an instant. His fist was condensed with five colors, entwined with dragons and tigers, mobilizing a sea of thunder, and his entire arm was condensed with silver brilliance.

A strike smashed heavily onto that god's incarnation.

Accompanied by the shaking of the sky and the churning of the sea of thunder, Li Yi's terrifying punch forcibly pierced through the body of the god's incarnation, but what splashed out from the wound was not blood, but strands of crystal-clear divine power. These divine powers, guided by the ancient bloodline, actually transferred into his huge body.

This made Li Yi feel that he had become much stronger in an instant.

"So that's it, this is the inheritance method of the savage world." At this moment, Li Yi understood the meaning of this battle.

The god's incarnation was injured at this moment and was enraged. He immediately assumed an ancient posture, and an incomparably terrifying aura vented out. Afterward, he saw him waving his fists, rolling back the sea of thunder, and shattering the void.

The thunder light dimmed at this moment.

Clearly, this was the divine technique Li Yi had used before, "Heaven and Earth Severed."

Seeing this scene, Li Yi's pupils suddenly constricted, but he had nowhere to dodge and could only raise his arm, condensing the strength of his whole body, trying to resist this strike.

Boom!

The firmament shattered, and the sea of thunder was shaken to pieces. Countless bolts of thunder swept toward all directions. Fortunately, this was a battle in the sky, and even if the aftermath spread, it did not affect the ground.

Accompanied by a shocking venting of divine power.

One of Li Yi's arms was forcibly broken, silver blood splashed heaven and earth, and then it transformed into bolts of thunder that flowed into the sea of thunder. At the same time, a strand of divine power in his God-Blood was plundered and returned to the body of the god's incarnation.

"This god's incarnation is outrageously strong." His mouth twitched.

If he took a few more divine techniques, he felt he would be killed alive.

No wonder the Shenmu Lord and the Dahuang Lord wanted to interfere with him. If his state was not good, once he fought the incarnation of the god, he would definitely not be able to pass this tribulation.

However, these distracting thoughts only flashed by.

Li Yi's gaze soon became firm again. Regardless of his current realm or strength, he had not forgotten that he was a martial artist from the Four Seas and Bazhou.

A martial artist facing an enemy uses momentum to suppress others and fights to the death without retreating.

"Come again."

Li Yi shouted, his body, which had been shaken back, rushed up again. With a single arm waving a fist, his body, a hundred zhang tall, twisted into one, and all the strength in his body was mobilized. His fist was brilliant to the extreme, wanting to pierce through the opponent with one strike.

Although the god's incarnation had incomplete intelligence, his fighting instinct was too terrifying. It seemed he smelled danger and immediately dodged sideways.

But even so, a hideous gash was still torn open on his chest by the fist.

Crystal-clear divine power splashed, and then once again merged into Li Yi's body.

But soon, countless silver bolts of lightning emerged in this sea of thunder, and the lightning fell on the wound of the god's incarnation, actually repairing that hideous gash rapidly.

The god's incarnation, restored as before, killed Li Yi again.

Li Yi did not retreat. After injuring the opponent with one punch, he raised his leg and swept horizontally again. With the eruption of divine power, the entire sea of thunder was split open by this strike. The power exploded between heaven and earth, and space shattered at this moment.

In his early years, he practiced martial arts in the Four Seas and Bazhou. Fists, legs, palms, knives, spears, etc., he was proficient in all. It could be said that his whole body was a killing weapon, it was just that after practicing to the end, fist and leg skills were already difficult to use.

But the god's incarnation did not dodge, but struck horizontally with a fist, choosing to trade injury for injury with Li Yi.

After both sides exchanged a strike, their huge bodies fell toward the sea of thunder behind them.

But Li Yi adapted first, ignoring the injuries on his body, and took the initiative to kill again.

The two giants fought together again, both frantically plundering the opponent's divine power. This fighting style was destined that you could only fight to the death and could not retreat half a step. Otherwise, once the opponent's divine power plundered to a critical point, you would never be able to turn over again.
