Chapter 514 Let's Practice Dual Cultivation

The eighth heavenly tribulation, though slightly more powerful, was still withstood by Eldrin (Person Name) without much surprise.

Yet the ninth heavenly tribulation was exceptionally formidable, continuing to strike down toward Eldrin (Person Name).

The might of this lightning tribulation already rivaled the full-force strike of a Nascent Soul, 6th Tier (Cultivation Realm) expert. Such a terrifying tribulation would likely spell imminent peril even for a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul cultivator who had just achieved their breakthrough.

Fortunately, Eldrin possessed extraordinary means. He summoned his life-bound spiritual treasure, the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void. In an instant, a beam of Twofold Mirror Light shot into the sky, and with a resounding clang, it ground nearly half of the heavenly tribulation into nothingness.

A considerable amount of residual power remained, yet Eldrin’s methods were nothing short of extraordinary. With a thunderous roar, he summoned the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder, completely obliterating the heavenly tribulation that loomed in the sky.

It is done.

As the ninth heavenly tribulation descended, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Eldrin’s expression grew solemn. He knew that by refining the Primordial Purple Qi, a tenth heavenly tribulation would descend upon him—its power likely beyond imagination.

Sure enough, as calamitous clouds churned across the heavens, a bolt of lightning shimmering with alternating shades of light and darkness tore through the sky.

Chapter 10 The Tenth Heavenly Tribulation.

Everyone's pupils abruptly contracted, revealing a trace of horror.

While ordinary tribulations consisted of merely 9 heavenly strikes, this tenth thunderclap defied all conventional understanding—a clear divergence from the natural order.

However, Eldrin made no attempt to conceal anything either. The Heavenly Tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage was far too monumental—once it descended, its resonance would shake the heavens and earth across tens of thousands of miles.

He knew full well that concealment was impossible. It was better to face the heavenly tribulation openly than to arouse suspicion by attempting to hide it.

After all, once he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, though still incomparable to the supremely revered Pure Yang Dao Lord, he would rank among the pinnacle existences of this realm. There were already countless matters he no longer needed to fear.

Eldrin set aside his thoughts, his expression turning grave as he gazed at the black-and-white lightning tearing across the sky.

“Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art)。”

This divine thunder, brewed by the heavenly tribulation, contained the essence of both the Supreme Yin and the Supreme Yang, transforming into the entwined Yin-Yang Dual Polarity Divine Thunder as it descended—a perfect fusion and mutual reinforcement of Yin and Yang.

Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly, a trace of astonishment flashing in his eyes. Only now did he understand—this was the true form of the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder.

No wonder the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art) he had previously pioneered only reached the threshold of a half-step great supernatural power—it was because the conceptual foundation he established contained flaws, preventing this divine ability from achieving perfection.

Otherwise, this divine ability should have started at the rank of a Great Divine Ability.

After my breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, the integration with my innate great supernatural power allowed the dao patterns of the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art) within me to evolve autonomously, advancing into the realm of great supernatural powers.

"Or perhaps the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art) I currently possess should truly be called the Water-Fire Divine Thunder."

"So that's how it is."

In the blink of an eye, clarity dawned within Eldrin’s heart.

However, as the mighty tribulation lightning descended, he dared not show the slightest negligence.

This tenth heavenly tribulation strike was now comparable to the full-force blow of a Nascent Soul, 7th Tier (Cultivation Realm) expert. Although it only matched the power of a Mortal Path Nascent Soul, 7th Tier (Cultivation Realm)—far inferior to a genuine Nascent Soul, 7th Tier (Cultivation Realm) cultivator—it was still formidable enough to force Eldrin (Person Name) to exert his utmost effort.

With a flick of his hand, 2 sword rays blossomed with resplendent immortal light as he unleashed his ultimate trump card.

"This is the Heavenly Union Twin Blades."

Everyone's expressions shifted abruptly. The paired swords of Tianli, He Bi, instantly transformed into a brilliant sword radiance that soared into the sky.

He Yi’s subsequent sword strike possessed such overwhelming power that it shook the heavens and the earth. It could be considered his ultimate trump card, capable of severely injuring—or even slaying—a powerful True Lord at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) with a single blow.

Sword radiance crisscrossed the firmament, ultimately coalescing into a resplendent immortal light that pierced into the void's depths. With a sonorous clangor, it struck the heavenly tribulation, carving sword scars upon the void that seemed to grind reality itself into oblivion.

No 1 knew how much time had passed. Only when the heavenly tribulation gradually dispersed did Eldrin slowly draw a deep breath.

The dual sword union consumed an immense amount of energy. Though he had recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and his Great Luo Nascent Soul possessed spiritual power far surpassing that of ordinary True Lords, even he could feel his reserves nearly depleted after executing this single strike.

The tribulation clouds in the sky dispersed, and streams of 7-colored immortal liquid descended from the heavens—enough to fill an entire large gourd.

This is a creation born of the laws of heaven and earth, containing primordial power and divinity. For Nascent Soul True Monarchs, it remains a supreme-grade treasure.

Eldrin swallowed it into his abdomen, using it to nourish both his Nascent Soul and physical body. He felt the spiritual power within his Nascent Soul grow substantially fuller, while the contained Nascent Soul Qi also increased greatly.

After this matter, it was time to transcend the heavenly tribulation.

The Golden Core cultivators attending the ceremony promptly bowed, their faces brimming with joy as they exclaimed, "Congratulations, True Lord, on your breakthrough to Nascent Soul! May you enjoy eternal celestial blessings and ascend to immortality!"

"Rise."

Eldrin smiled faintly, and with a wave of his hand, scattered several treasures as gifts for the Golden Core cultivators attending the ceremony.

Several True Monarchs also smiled, each presenting a congratulatory gift. The Eldrin of the Void Abode (Person Name) said with a light laugh, "With your breakthrough to the True Monarch realm, the strength of our Ji Continent has grown by another measure."

"My thanks to all of you."

Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly and remarked, "Though these True Monarch friends have come to the Azure Lotus Continent ostensibly to witness the ceremony, they are undoubtedly here to safeguard my cultivation ascension as well."

这就是广交好友的好处，若不是宴紫姬等几位多年好友作镇青莲洲，怕是Eldrin (Person Name)突破之时，妖皇魔君乃至寒川道人都不会放过这么好的机会。

He deliberately bowed to the assembly before continuing, "To avoid complications down the road, and considering Lyra (Person Name) must enter seclusion to break through to the True Monarch realm, I must trouble you all to remain here for a few more days."

"It's no trouble at all." Freya and Yan Zijie smiled, their bright eyes sparkling with joy as they said: "Lyra has been our close confidante for many years. Now that she's breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, how could we not stand guard for her?"

"Then I thank you all."

After thanking the crowd, Eldrin (Person Name) returned to the seclusion chamber with Lyra (Person Name).

After the 2 entered the spirit pool, Eldrin informed him about achieving the Great Luo Nascent Soul, then said, "Nascent Souls also have hierarchies. Since we can forge the Great Luo Nascent Soul, we naturally shouldn't settle for anything less."

"Focus on your breakthrough. I shall assist you with this final step."

"Good."

Lyra nodded. Her foundation was no weaker than Eldrin's, and coupled with her Celestial Yin Immortal Body, her chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm were virtually 10 out of 10.

This breakthrough proceeded without much surprise, the only slight trouble being the Inner Demon Tribulation.

However, although the Heart Demon Tribulation was extraordinarily terrifying, cultivators with powerful soul power could easily see through the illusions of the inner demons.

Moreover, the power of this Nascent Soul Inner Demon Tribulation was ultimately limited; it was far from sufficient to pose a threat to Lyra, whose brilliance had astonished the entire realm.

With the power of her soul, Lyra (Person Name) effortlessly saw through the illusion of the inner demon and refined it into a wisp of azure smoke.

He had successfully formed his Nascent Soul.

Watching her successful Nascent Soul formation, Eldrin immediately released 3 strands of Primordial Purple Qi.

3 strands of Primordial Purple Qi descended into her nascent soul, causing it to radiate with primordial light as a fourth innate Dao Pattern manifested.

Great Luo Nascent Soul.

Having forged the Great Luo Nascent Soul, Lyra (Person Name) revealed an expression of joyous surprise.

She integrated 2 innate supernatural abilities into it before finally regaining her composure.

When she opened her eyes, she found Eldrin’s features as exquisite as a painting. His white robes, soaked by the spiritual spring, clung to his tall, well-built frame.

At this moment, she felt as though Eldrin possessed an inexhaustible charm that left her mouth inexplicably parched. Without thinking, she voiced the words she had suppressed for so long.

"My love..."

"Hmm?"

"Let us cultivate together through dual cultivation."
