Chapter 534 Primordial Spirit Dao Lord

It is done.

Eldrin's expression shifted abruptly as he perceived the boundless spiritual energy converging across the heavens. Like a colossal whale drawing in the ocean, it surged entirely into the seclusion chamber.

Only moments later, a brilliant stream of Pure Yang energy surged from the seclusion chamber, followed by a tall and graceful figure emerging from within.

Dorian stood clad in robes of violet and gold, a gilded jade crown resting upon his head. His noble bearing was peerless, like a Pure Yang Immortal Lord descended to the mortal realm.

He gave a slight nod toward Eldrin (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name), then lifted his gaze to Riverlord Chang (Person Name) in the heavens, saying, "My gratitude for your assistance, Senior."

"There's no need for that."

Riverlord Chang (Person Name), with hair and beard as white as snow, stood between heaven and earth like an immortal elder who had attained enlightenment. He smiled serenely and said, "First, we shall transcend the heavenly tribulation of lightning."

The heavenly tribulation brewing above the firmament had gathered for a long while. Endless, majestic calamity clouds stretched across heaven and earth, each wisp possessing power sufficient to tear apart the skies and split the very earth.

Dorian nodded, then cupped his hands in salute to the assembly before ascending skyward in a single stride.

As Dorian was about to undergo the Lightning Tribulation, Eldrin’s expression turned grave.

The might of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation is rarely seen in this world. It is said that many a Pure Yang Dao Lord, having painstakingly summoned their Heavenly Soul, ultimately fell beneath the thunderous calamity due to insufficient protective magical treasures.

In truth, this step was truly arduous. Without the protection of a Pure Yang spiritual treasure, a cultivator with a dual spiritual root would have virtually 0 chance of surviving the lightning tribulation.

For cultivators with triple or quadruple spiritual roots, even if they were exceptionally well-prepared and possessed a Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure (Magic Treasure) for protection, their chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation remained uncertain.

Thus, generally speaking, only those cultivators within the Dao Lord's Holy Land who receive guidance from their seniors possess greater certainty in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Once a Pure Yang spiritual treasure is lent to a junior to transcend the thunder tribulation, even if they successfully pass the Nascent Soul Great Tribulation, the spiritual treasure will inevitably suffer severe damage. It would require at least a millennium of recuperation to restore it to its peak state.

Within the Eastern Wastelands (Location), there were at least 30-some cultivators who had reached the Half-Step Pure Yang realm, most of whom lacked sufficient foundational strength to temporarily break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

There are also many who feel they lack the confidence to withstand the heavenly tribulation, thus they have never dared to take that final step.

Like Caelum the Wavestrider (Person Name), a cultivator who had refined a Pure Yang Immortal Sword as early as the Nascent Soul Realm, could be considered exceptional even among Half-Step Dao Lords.

To nurture a life-bound Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, 1 must not only obtain a sixth-tier supreme treasure coveted even by Nascent Soul Dao Lords, but also possess the aptitude of a superior Dao Body.

For cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm, possessing a Dao Body was not particularly rare. However, only those with a superior-grade Dao Body could nourish and manifest a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure while still in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Such superior Dao Bodies are exceedingly rare. Only a handful like the Pure Yang Dao Body and the Profound Yin Dao Body can meet the criteria, enabling 1 to nurture a Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang (Magic Treasure) ahead of time through reverse cultivation.

To return to our story, Dorian was remarkably calm at this moment.

Though he possessed no superior Dao Body, he had inherited the Ji Clan's Immortal Refining Crucible.

The Refining Immortal Furnace ranks fourth on the Purple Supreme Treasure List, a supreme Pure Yang treasure that commands awe across the realm.

It is said that among the late Violet Sovereign’s 9 Violet Treasures was an innate spiritual artifact—the Immortal-Refining Furnace. The Ji Clan’s replica is regarded as the most formidable imitation in existence.

With this Refining Immortal Furnace in his possession, Dorian was brimming with confidence, fully assured of his ability to withstand the heavenly tribulation.

Boom—

After brewing for a long time, the first heavenly tribulation finally descended.

With an utterly serene expression, Dorian raised his hand and unleashed a streak of celestial light, which shot straight toward the heavenly thunder tribulation in the sky, effortlessly dissipating it into nothingness.

Heavenly Tribulation Radiance.

Someone whispered in recognition, identifying the origin of this divine ability.

This Transcendent Tribulation Light was 1 of the Ji Clan’s guardian divine abilities, rumored to have been created by an immortal before their ascension. Not only did it specialize in neutralizing defensive spirit treasures and protective auras, but it was also the ultimate counter to heavenly thunder tribulations.

Not only had the Patriarch of the Ji Clan mastered this Pure Yang divine ability, but he had also solidified it into his Innate Divine Art. Now, employing it to withstand the heavenly tribulation was truly a case of putting it to the most fitting use.

The Ji Clan Leader withstood the heavenly tribulation using his Tribulation Transcendence Immortal Light, miraculously blocking 6 consecutive strikes of the Pure Yang Heavenly Lightning.

Everyone felt a chill creeping up their scalps as they watched. Each of the first 6 bolts of the Divine Soul Thunder Tribulation possessed enough power to annihilate a peak Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator.

The final 2 strikes were potent enough to annihilate even a Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) existence—so formidable that even a Pure Sun Dao Monarch would refrain from confronting them head-on. Yet, against all expectations, they failed to inflict the slightest harm upon Dorian (Person Name).

At this moment, even the numerous True Monarchs showed subtle changes in their expressions. The extraordinarily talented Profound Heaven True Monarch sighed, "It is said that the Ji Clan's legacy has been passed down for several 100 1000 years. Only today have I come to understand that these words hold true."

"This pure yang divine art capable of restraining heavenly tribulation is something even many Dao Lord sacred lands likely cannot produce. No wonder the Ji Clan has produced several Dao Lords who attained the Nascent Soul stage."

In the heavens above, the boundless tribulation clouds churned and seethed, the power of the heavenly thunder growing increasingly violent and aberrant.

The Patriarch of the Ji Clan finally revealed a grave expression. The power contained within these final 3 heavenly tribulations was utterly terrifying—even a seasoned Divine Soul Dao Lord who had broken through years ago wouldn’t dare face them lightly, let alone 1 who had just stepped into this realm.

Recalling the terrifying might of the heavenly tribulation, the Patriarch of the Ji Clan could no longer afford to hold back. In haste, he summoned the Refining Immortal Furnace (Magic Treasure).

Driven by the Patriarch of the Ji Clan, the Immortal Refining Furnace could only unleash approximately 50 percent of its power, yet it still radiated an overwhelming divine might.

There it was, floating and sinking in the void, actually managing to block 1 thunder tribulation after another—each strike powerful enough to annihilate a primordial spirit. Its glow had dimmed by only 30 to 40 percent, and it had not suffered any severe damage.

"This Refining Immortal Furnace..."

High above the heavens, Riverlord Chang (Person Name) narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of solemnity crossing his expression.

He gazed at the River Sunset Scroll and remarked after a long pause, "I had thought that after ascending to a superior Pure Yang spirit treasure, you would be no less than the Refining Immortal Furnace. Yet now I see there remains a considerable gap between you."

The River Sunset Scroll floated in the void, remaining silent for a moment before speaking, "It has already reached the realm bordering on immortality. In the present Purple Realm, those that can compare with it—aside from the supreme treasures lost to the river of history—number fewer than the fingers on 1 hand."

The tribulation clouds above the heavens dispersed, scattering streams of 7-colored immortal light.

Dorian bathed in the radiant light, his physical form and spiritual soul ascending in sublimation, transforming toward flawless perfection.

In an instant, golden lotuses bloomed from the earth, auroras cascaded from the heavens, and ethereal cranes danced through the air. 1 astonishing phenomenon after another manifested across the firmament, as if celebrating the birth of this sovereign of Pure Yang.

Pure Yang Dao Lord stood at the absolute pinnacle of the Violet Realm, a being merely 1 realm away from ascension to immortality—truly the zenith of mortal cultivation.

Such an existence could traverse the extraterrestrial starry skies, soar to the very edge of the Violet Realm's firmament to pluck Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root), and even harvest primordial stars spanning 1 100 1000 miles. Even when placed among the hundreds of millions of cultivation worlds across the 9 Heavens Above (Time & Distance), they would undoubtedly be regarded as true mighty figures.

It is said that such beings, even after their demise, receive special consideration in the depths of the underworld. They are permitted to carry a portion of their past life’s accumulated blessings into reincarnation. Should they attain immortality in a future life, they may even reclaim the memories of their previous existence.
