Chapter 136

Many cultivators heard the news and came; upon discovering that the person undergoing tribulation was inside the fire domain, they all hesitated to step forward, not daring to get too close.

"Heavens, choosing to undergo tribulation in the fire domain—what sheer dominance! For an ordinary cultivator, even divine fire would be hard to withstand, let alone undergoing tribulation..."

"Where did this monster come from? When did our southern region produce such a figure?"

The sea of thunder rolled, unrestrained, carrying the might of annihilation weighing ten thousand jun, descending from the heavens; anyone who witnessed the scene was deeply shaken.

Yang Zhu

In the eighth layer of the fire domain, Yang Zhu's black robe fluttered, his long hair danced, and his inner aura shone like a rainbow, vaster than the Star Sea.

His pitch-black eyes were unfathomably deep, endowed with a strange magical power, as if even the stars in the heavens would be drawn into him—holy and serene, possessing an inviolable dignity that made people cannot help but feel reverence.

Second Layer of Dragon Transformation

Holy Body Dao Embryo Four Extremes Secret Realm

Upon reaching great perfection in cultivation, the spine will manifest as a dragon; at that point, possessing the spine grants endless power, and even a slight movement can shatter the void.

An ordinary cultivator who reaches this secret realm is considered a minor achievement, whereas the Saint Body Dao Embryo Four Extremes Secret Realm is already a minor achievement; upon entering the Dragon Transformation, one can outright suppress mighty experts.

The Saint Body Dao Embryo possesses a near-monstrous terrifying trait: upon reaching later cultivation, one can fuse with the void, the body becoming the Dao's laws, making ordinary Shen Gong difficult to harm him.

Now, it's no exaggeration to say that beneath a sage, hardly anyone can wound him! Yang Zhu's body emanated divine radiance as a terrifying devouring power burst forth, instantly draining the heavenly and earthly essence of the eighth layer fire domain.

Such immense energy, upon entering his body, merely caused a faint ripple—one can imagine how vast and boundless Yang Zhu's Sea of Bitterness now is.

Yang Zhu reached the sixth layer and soon saw a perfect woman standing still there.

The Yaochi Holy Maiden possessed a fairy-like jade body, her white robes fluttering; she was absolutely beautiful from any angle, yet it was that hazy, indistinct quality that made her all the more captivating.

Upon seeing Yang Zhu, her beautiful eyes smiled, and she instantly blossomed like a fairy lotus—radiant and moving, her beauty nearly breathtaking.

Golden-Winged Xiaopeng King

Yaoguang Saint Son

With weapon forging and insight breakthroughs, Yang Zhu spent two months in total, and he knew the woman before him had been waiting for him all along.

Northern Yuan

The Yaochi Holy Maiden gave a light laugh, her jade arm—clear as a jade scallion—lifting a strand of hair, exuding countless charms.

"This stone platform is truly a divine object; thanks to it I managed to fluke a promotion."

In two months, she too successfully broke through to the Dragon Transformation secret realm; aside from the merit of this place, the Chaos Stone played a tremendous role.

Northern Emperor

The Chaos Stone platform had once been his father's bed, bearing a trace of his aura; cultivating with its aid naturally yields twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, the prerequisite is being able to approach; in fact it's not difficult, as long as one gains the acknowledgment of either the Wushi Great Emperor or Yang Zhu.

Ancient Aristocratic Wang Clan

Great Emperor

The Yaochi Holy Maiden knew this was a divine object; just as she wanted to delay, she met Yang Zhu's gaze and nodded in agreement.

She understood that Yang Zhu did not want to be too clear-cut with her; delaying further would only seem aloof.

Black Emperor

"Yang Zhu! Huh... broke through Dragon Transformation!" The big black dog turned into black light, rushing over in haste; soon he froze, then turned excited.

Human Ancient Road

"Damn! Recently a bastard named Wang Teng came from the North Plains, claiming you killed his useless brother and arrogantly demanding a showdown with you."

The big black dog practically spat curses as he spoke; in his view, that Northern Emperor is nothing special! In fact, over two months ago, the news that Wang Chong had been beheaded was already sent back to the Northern Plains Wang family.

Upon learning this, Wang Teng flew into an uncontrollable rage; his furious roar almost shook the heavens, and had he not been in seclusion, he would have rushed to kill at once.

Half a month ago he left seclusion, and at once crossed to the Eastern Wasteland, declaring he would contend with the Saint Body Dao Embryo, with only one of them able to survive.

When this news broke, the Eastern Wasteland erupted in turmoil, and the five realms shook.

"Northern Emperor Wang Teng... it's said he inherited the Lugu Great Emperor's legacy, becoming invincible in the North Plains at fifteen and sweeping aside all opponents."

"If ten years pass, who knows how strong he will have become."

Wang Teng, also known as the Northern Emperor, is the young clan leader of the ancient Wang family; his own cultivation talent is not lacking, and he also received a great emperor's inheritance, having been in the spotlight since birth.

His talent astonishes anyone who understands it to the point of feeling terrifying; no one remains unmoved, and compared to him one feels one's own self is a sorrow.

"You really killed his brother?" Duan De wondered.

"It was nothing." Yang Zhu neither denied nor needed to.

"That shouldn't happen... With your means, killing a nobody, how could the news get back?"

Big Black Aunt muttered, even Wang Teng looked down on him, let alone his still-young younger brother.

"I deliberately let the news leak back; sooner or later there will be a battle, so settling him early will make it easier to leave."

After slaying Wang Chong, Yang Zhu deliberately let the stone tablet linger a moment, just to ensure the news of his killing successfully reached the Wang family.

"You... you're leaving? Where are you going?"

The Yaochi Holy Maiden's bright eyes flickered, catching Yang Zhu's last words.

"Naturally, I will travel the Human Race Ancient Road, Flaming Gu Xing, as well as Zi Wei, Eternal, and other star fields."

The Beidou Star Region, also known as the Emperor's Burial Star, many ancient great emperors, before their passing, would bury themselves here, thereby revealing the mystery and might of Beidou.

Beidou is strong, but Yang Zhu won't stay here forever; he wants to go out and see different scenery, witness different heavenly talents.

"Woof! This emperor also wants to come!" The big black dog let out a howl, eagerly anticipating.

"Hehe, an extraterritorial pet, just thinking about it sounds nice... ow!"

The Black Emperor's eyes narrowed smugly, a wicked smile on his face, drool dripping everywhere he couldn't stop.

Seeing this, Yang Zhu sighed helplessly and punched the guy's huge head, finally bringing him to his senses.

"A month ago I had already finished cultivating my artifact, but when I came out I encountered the Crow Daoist..."

Yang Zhu roughly recounted what had happened during that time, which included the stone disc.

What... gave him a Nine Marvelous Fruit? What kind of treasure is that stone plate? Its value can be compared to the Divine Medicine Fruit.

After hearing that, Da Heigou looked astonished; the Divine Medicine Fruit is something even holy lands might not possess, which made this guy feel heartbroken, as if his heart were dripping blood.
