"My cultivation is already at the Nine Dragons' Ultimate Peak, and I could ascend to be a Land God at any moment. Now that the Immeasurable Golden Light has entered my body, spreading Divine Power throughout, I almost have the impulse to transcend immediately!"

At this moment, Qianyue Bing's appearance was majestic and carried an indescribable sanctity as if she could transcend at any time.

"The ancient Chaos Qi creates all things, let the power of gods and ghosts be born!"

Yalina, draped in her splendid battle robe, was submerged in endless golden light. She seemed like an invincible deity as dragon roars and tiger howls intermittently came from her body, indicating a terrifying power was brewing.

"Ascend to Ten Dragons!" Ye Chen roared towards the heavens. His clothes were in tatters, his body covered in blood, as he exhausted everything to trigger that forbidden domain.

Ye Chen was pushed into the fire pit by two women, almost to a point of no return.

Even with the deterrent power of his Thunder Rain, which made Corpse Kings wary, these alone were nowhere near enough to stop them.

Just moments ago, a Corpse King had blown off one of Ye Chen's arms, which he gritted his teeth and forcefully reattached.

One ferocious strike after another badly damaged his internal organs.

Ye Chen relied on the stubborn resistance of the Thunder Rain jar, but ultimately could not escape the fate of being ground into dust.

Therefore, Ye Chen, looking utterly mad, triggered his boiling point, aiming to advance amid this desperate situation, to leap to the rank of Ten Dragons!

"Rumble—"

Ye Chen's frantic attempt to leap to Ten Dragons immediately triggered divine retribution.

The power of this retribution was omnipresent; thunder rolled above the stone cavern, a sign of imminent thunderous bombardment!

However, as Ye Chen's ascension grew more intense, the strength within him surged stronger, faintly emanating a forbidden aura.

"What is this?"

Seeing Ye Chen's condition, the invincible Corpse King immediately ceased his killing intent. The ghost fire in his eyes danced wildly as he felt a great threat from the divine retribution gathering above Ye Chen's head.

"I have a horrifying feeling that if I get close to that human, I will be punished by the heavens!"

The threatening thundercloud triggered by Ye Chen made the Corpse King pause its onslaught.

"If the Corpse King does not come for me, I will focus on overcoming the tribulation!" With a majestic appearance, Ye Chen's aura grew strong, but the power of divine retribution was so overwhelming that he felt as if he could turn to ashes any moment.

Ye Chen desperately attempted to leap to Ten Dragons, originally planning to divert the disaster onto the Corpse King with the power of divine retribution.

However, the power of divine retribution was mysterious and unpredictable. Ye Chen felt he could be struck down at any moment, so he dared not act rashly, focusing solely on combating the tribulation that faced him.

"Rumble—" Thunderclouds churned, and lightning struck fiercely, catching Ye Chen off guard and savagely hitting him.

"Damn it, it's not over yet!"

Ye Chen's hair stood on end as he saw more dreadful thunder gathering overhead, frightening him into fleeing.

"Rumble—"

The thunderclouds followed Ye Chen, relentlessly hovering above his head, impossible to shake off.

This divine retribution was a mighty calamity for martial artists, making many shudder in fear, and even the strong-willed developed demons in their hearts. The terrifying wrath from the heavens could not be easily resolved.

"Being human is exhausting, and levelling up still attracts lightning strikes!" With a flicker of Divine Sense, the Corpse King scorned the human condition, as Ye Chen was pitifully and relentlessly struck by the ferocious lightning.

The Corpse King decided not to crush Ye Chen. One reason was the terrifying divine retribution made him reluctant to approach, and the other was that Ye Chen was about to be struck dead by lightning anyway. Even if he didn't act, Ye Chen would be blasted to bits.

"That golden light has always been there, but I cannot devour that power. Those two women seem to be breaking through with the help of the golden light!" The invincible Corpse King looked towards Yalina and Qianyue Bing, its fierce jaws chomping non-stop as if it were eager to devour them.

"But let those two women break through. It's best if they can ascend to Land Gods because then they will become my strongest nourishment!"

"I want to become stronger, I want to transcend, I want to devour everything, I want to dominate the myriad realms!"

In the end, the invincible Corpse King did not attack them but turned and walked towards that primary mass, intending to use it to Transcend the Other Shore and reach sublime heights.

The Corpse King was only half a step away from transcending the Other Shore. As long as he devoured his primordial body, he would surely ascend to be the Great Venerable of the Other Shore!

Once he transcended the Other Shore, he would truly be invincible. By then, even if Ye Chen and the two women ascended to Land Gods, they would certainly not be his match.

"Rumble—"

The thunder roared like frenzied dragons and snakes, brutally striking Ye Chen, lacerating his skin and drenching him in blood.

But with each thunderbolt that struck, Ye Chen grew stronger. If he could withstand the tribulation of thunder, he would leap to become a being of Ten Dragons, an ultimate forbidden existence.

Ye Chen had deep reserves; a peak Grandmaster could match a Ten Dragons, and if he underwent a perfect transformation and became a Ten Dragons Taboo being, he would undoubtedly have the combat power of a Land God!

"Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Breakthrough!"

Qianyue Bing's body was like a gigantic furnace, absorbing infinite Immeasurable Golden Light. Containing divine substances and profound laws, it constantly pushed her cultivation, as if she could become an immortal at any moment.

"Chaos Qi, boil! Aid me in one leap to become an immortal! From now on, surpass the peak, and strangle miracles!"

Yalina, her sacred sword wreathed in divine light, grew more and more majestic and grand. Her entire being was undergoing an unbelievable transformation.

Yalina was already a Ten Dragons Taboo. If she could leap to become an immortal, that would absolutely make her a high-end battle immortal, dominate among the Land Gods!

At that time, even the Corpse King would struggle to contend with her!

"I am only a thread away from transcending the Other Shore, to become a supreme sovereign that roams the universe!"

The invincible Corpse King was also devouring madly, hoping to transcend as quickly as possible.

The Corpse King could feel Ye Chen and the others growing stronger, and even if he didn't take these ants seriously, he still had to maintain his strength and not let the situation slip out of control.

As long as he could "Transcend the Other Shore," he would immediately devour everything, turning the world into a kingdom of zombies.

As Ye Chen bathed in the Lei Ting, while Yalina and Qian Yue Bing absorbed Chaos Qi, they all underwent unimaginable transformations; the invincible Corpse King also wanted to leap to the strongest and then devour everything.

They were all racing against time to advance.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Thunder crashed down, shaking all directions.

Ye Chen was covered in char, burnt by the lightning, his body stained with blood, and there was not a part of him that wasn't injured, truly a sight of extreme misery.

The thunderbolts that struck him were as thick as a baby's arm, possessing the power to destroy gods; each hit could shatter a part of Ye Chen's body.

However, along with the endless lightning, Ye Chen's aura also grew increasingly stronger!

Though riddled with wounds, wandering between life and death, Ye Chen's eyes sparkled with a distinct elegance.

"Ordinary lightning has limited lethality to me, at most causing me severe injuries!"

"But the Bloody Thunder gestating within these thunderclouds is the most terrifying presence among the myriad thunders, able to directly destroy my essence!"

"Two strikes of Bloody Thunder have already descended; who knows how many are left to come!"

"The Bloody Thunder is the real divine punishment, and as long as all these blood thunders finish pouring down, I will be able to overcome this divine punishment and leap into the ranks of the Ten Dragons!"

Ye Chen took out a pile of elixirs from his Qiankun Bag and stuffed all of them into his mouth, as if he were swallowing down coarse food.

These elixirs all had miraculous effects and were the rare Healing Holy Elixirs, not some common varieties.

Ye Chen had struck it rich in Di Lintian's cave, but he didn't have many of these elixirs on him, just a few dozen bottles, which he was normally loath to consume.

But now, with Ye Chen's body charred inside and out from the thunderbolts and in a highly dangerous state, he naturally wouldn't skimp on elixirs.()

Elixirs are just like sons of bitches after all, if eaten up, we just make more. That was the confidence that came with Ye Chen's status as an Alchemist.

"Boom"

Another Bloody Thunder struck, and despite Ye Chen's desperate attempts to dodge, he was still struck by the lightning.

This kind of blood thunder represented the strongest divine punishment, an executioner's blade hanging over Ye Chen.

The moment it struck Ye Chen, blood blossomed once more on his body; the vitality just replenished by the elixirs was blasted away by this fierce lightning strike.

"This is divine punishment, but also a divine reward!" Ye Chen gazed at the tumultuous thunderclouds, suddenly as if he had a revelation.

"The Bloody Thunder can deal devastating damage to me, but if I manage to endure it, I will gain unimaginable benefits from it!"

"The Bloody Thunder is fortifying my body, strengthening my soul, enhancing my Divine Sense, bolstering everything about me!"

"I can vaguely sense that there are nine strikes of Bloody Thunder in total, and if I can withstand all nine, I will break through my shackles, surpass the peak, and become a supreme taboo existence!"

"The Bloody Thunder is extraordinarily special, and if I can perfectly overcome it, then my combat power will become terrifyingly unimaginable!"

Bathing in the divine thunder, Ye Chen gained insights while seriously injured; his mind was clear, as if he had entered an indescribable realm of wonder.

"Boom, boom, boom"

All directions were filled with descending lightning, with terrifying blood thunders occasionally mixed in.

Ye Chen gave up on taking elixirs to recover, simply standing still, foolishly motionless, allowing himself to be struck by the heavenly bolts.

Ye Chen saw divine punishment as a form of tempering!

"Pfft!"

However, this kind of tempering was incredibly dangerous, and Ye Chen often coughed up blood, his body bursting open with blood, but he remained steadfast as a rock, unswayed by the lightning.

The frequency of the lightning strikes increased, the injuries on Ye Chen's body multiplied, but his eyes grew brighter.

Just like Ye Chen had said, divine punishment was heaven's way of dispensing reward and retribution!

If Ye Chen was struck dead by the myriad bolts, then it would be heaven's punishment!

If he was refined by the heavenly lightning, able to live on forever, he would possess unparalleled fighting power, and that would be heaven's reward!

This was the very essence of fortune and misfortune being two sides of the same coin!

Ye Chen was a once-in-an-eternity peerless genius in the martial path, extraordinarily gifted, but after all, he had cultivated for a short time and was still naive about many things.

Yi Shuiqing feared the divine punishment.

That figure at the Nine Dragons Peak also feared divine punishment, and even facing death at the hands of the Corpse King, he lacked the courage to ascend to Land God.

Furthermore, Ye Chen's father had left behind many mysteries, and it seemed he too was struck down by divine punishment.

All this gave Ye Chen a certain indescribable reverence for divine punishment.

In Ye Chen's imagination, divine punishment was invincibly terrifying, overwhelmingly destructive.

But now, faced with divine punishment, Ye Chen realized he had been mistaken.
