Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 414 Absorption
Li Zhen's mind was focused on the two enormous energy clusters in the Dragon Heart Space, and an overwhelming sense of confidence rose within him.

Given his current conditions, it would be unreasonable for him to advance like other great cultivators, and it would be a waste of all the careful preparations he has made over this period of time.

"To hell with the 'Five Nascent Souls Concentration Technique,' I want all six Nascent Souls!" At this moment, Li Zhen decisively chose to follow his heart.

Having made his decision, he immediately took a crucial step, with his main nascent soul and five nascent soul clones simultaneously choosing to break through.

At the same time, a large number of top-grade spirit stones appeared in the Dragon Heart Space, and the spiritual energy inside the Dragon Heart Space was extracted and sent into the main body's nascent soul and five nascent soul clones.

"What is Li Zhen doing? Has he gone mad?" Liu Gang, a Nascent Soul cultivator, exclaimed in shock as he looked at Li Zhen in the Tribulation Ground.

"What's wrong with him?" Principal Wang asked hastily, disregarding his manners.

"Did Li Zhen cultivate the 'Five Infant Condensation Technique'? He didn't choose to use the 'Five Infant Condensation Technique' to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but instead allowed all six Nascent Souls in his body to advance at the same time!" Liu Gang, a Nascent Soul cultivator, explained angrily.

"Doesn't this mean that Li Zhen will have to face the fifth-order Heavenly Tribulation that six Tribulation Transcenders have to endure?" Principal Wang's voice became shrill, a sign that he could not control his emotions.

The great cultivators present all showed expressions of shock. Let alone the fifth-order heavenly tribulation that six tribulation cultivators were enduring, even just the fifth-order heavenly tribulation that a single tribulation cultivator was enduring was extremely difficult to overcome.

Generally speaking, if one more person enters the tribulation range, the power of the fifth-order heavenly tribulation will increase several times. With five more people added at once, wouldn't this fifth-order heavenly tribulation destroy the world?

"Can you stop it?" Principal Wang pleaded with Liu Gang Huashen.

"The tribulation has already begun, and I will be drawn in if I get too close!" Liu Gang, a Nascent Soul cultivator, shook his head bitterly and said.

"How could he be so foolish!" Principal Wang exclaimed, slapping his leg hard.

Li Zhen, who was being complained about by everyone, had now completed the final step. The aura of his main body and five nascent soul clones suddenly rose to the fifth level.

Dramatic changes occurred within the six Nascent Souls, and at the same time, the six Nascent Souls were also affecting the main body.

This was only the first step, yet Li Zhen already felt a tearing sensation in his physical body. This was because the transformation of six Nascent Souls into Divine Nascent Souls had subjected his physical body to six times the pressure.

No matter how strong his physical body was, the pressure of six times the normal level made him feel uncomfortable.

Li Zhen's mind stirred slightly. Instead of touching the body-refining energy transformed from the Xuanwu divine beast, he channeled the body-refining energy transformed from the human god-level physical body into his own body.

This caused his physical body to strengthen rapidly, and the pressure of a six-fold Nascent Soul quickly disappeared.

The six nascent souls broke through the three-inch limit, growing rapidly to four, five, and six inches.

In a short period of time, the six Nascent Souls grew to the same size as Li Zhen's physical body. However, since the location of the Nascent Souls had spatial properties, the six enlarged Nascent Souls did not appear crowded.

As the aura of the six Nascent Soul cultivators rose, his physical body also entered the fifth level of Body Refinement.

His cultivation officially entered the Nascent Soul stage, and heaven and earth immediately sensed his presence, with lightning gathering above the place of his tribulation.

This time, the energy absorbed by the tribulation cloud was extremely wide, almost covering the energy above three continents and the oceans in between, all converging towards the tribulation cloud.

A massive energy vortex formed in the sky, and the resulting energy fluctuations alarmed the entire immortal realm.

This isn't something only great cultivators can sense; even ordinary cultivators can perceive the changes in spiritual energy in the void, as if a whirlwind is drawing away the spiritual energy from the void.

Li Zhen was still experiencing the changes of entering the Nascent Soul stage. As a Nascent Soul cultivator who had not passed the fifth-order Heavenly Tribulation, he was not recognized by heaven and earth, and therefore the world's sense of rejection was extremely strong.

However, the senses he gained from the six Nascent Soul cultivators were extremely unique. Because the six Nascent Soul cultivators had been practicing the 'Five Nascent Soul Condensation Technique' for a long time, the connection between them had become instinctive.

At this moment, the six Nascent Souls appear to be six separate Nascent Souls, but in reality, they are a unified whole, with the main Nascent Soul forming the torso and the five Nascent Soul clones forming the head and limbs.

The merging of six Nascent Soul cultivators is not simply the sum of six Nascent Soul cultivators; it elevates each Nascent Soul cultivator to a higher level in every aspect. His divine sense, when it sweeps across the field, can easily break through the defenses of a Grandmaster, and killing a Grandmaster is merely a thought away.

In other words, he doesn't need to use supernatural powers to deal with powerful cultivators, and therefore doesn't need to expend his lifespan to easily kill them.

As for fighting against other Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level, we'll have to wait until he advances and consolidates his cultivation before we can see.

Before that, he had to face the tribulation clouds in the sky. At this moment, the hairs on his body stood on end. The destructive intent from the immortal world enveloped his entire body and eroded his soul.

The immortal realm would not tolerate such an arrogant existence, so it unleashed its strongest fifth-order heavenly tribulation power, attempting to completely annihilate Li Zhen.

The fifth-order thundercloud in the sky has already shown its terrifying power. Although the area of ​​the fifth-order thundercloud is not much larger, the energy contained within it is more than ten times that of a normal fifth-order thundercloud.

Lightning occasionally spills out from within the thundercloud, tearing a spatial rift in the void as it sweeps across it, only to disappear just as quickly.

"This is really troublesome!" Li Zhen's sense of danger was alarming. He had not expected the Immortal Kingdom to react this way. This fifth-order heavenly tribulation had probably reached the limit of the fifth-order heavenly tribulation in the Immortal Kingdom.

He took a deep breath and, without any hesitation, began to channel the body-refining energy of the Xuanwu Divine Beast into his physical body, while simultaneously channeling the fifth-tier energy of the Xuanwu Divine Beast into his six Nascent Souls.

He needs to increase his strength before undergoing the tribulation.

If he were to channel energy into his body while undergoing tribulation, as he had done before, he feared he wouldn't even be able to withstand the first heavenly lightning strike and would be reduced to ashes.

As soon as the Xuanwu Divine Beast's body-refining energy entered his body, his body-refining cultivation level increased rapidly.

The fifth-order energy of the Xuanwu divine beast was channeled into the six nascent souls, and the energy inside the six nascent souls became increasingly condensed.

"Faster, faster!" He urged inwardly, feeling the strengthening of his physical body and sensing the increasingly terrifying tribulation clouds in the sky.

He suddenly discovered that his 'Absolute Defense' divine power rune was also absorbing the energy of the Xuanwu Divine Beast. As the energy of the Xuanwu Divine Beast continued to be injected, more lines appeared inside the divine power rune, making it more complex.

"This 'Absolute Defense' divine power rune is starting to look more and more like the patterns on the Xuanwu divine beast!" Li Zhen looked at the changing 'Absolute Defense' divine power rune and felt increasingly familiar with it.

Little did he know that the 'Absolute Defense' divine power was actually a simplified version of the Xuanwu divine beast's innate defensive divine power.

After devouring the Xuanwu Divine Beast in the Dragon Heart Space, Li Zhen also obtained the Xuanwu Divine Beast's innate defensive divine power. However, the level of the Xuanwu Divine Beast's innate defensive divine power was too high for Li Zhen's current cultivation level to display.

It wasn't until he chose to channel the energy of the Xuanwu Divine Beast into his body that his 'Absolute Defense' divine ability changed and was upgraded to the Xuanwu Divine Beast's innate defensive divine ability.

In addition, his physical body was also being strengthened rapidly. He was pushed from the early stage of the fifth level of body refinement to the middle stage, then to the late stage, and soon reached the peak of the fifth level of the Great Perfection realm.

At this moment, his physical body had reached its limit in the immortal realm, but he still had a vast amount of energy that he had not used.

Just think about how enormous the Xuanwu divine beast's physical body was. It was used on Li Zhen's body. Li Zhen's physical body was already at the critical point of the fifth level, and his foundation was already excellent. When he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, his physical body also smoothly advanced to the fifth level of Body Refinement.

The immense body-refining energy of the Xuanwu Divine Beast was used only a small portion to strengthen Li Zhen's physical body, yet it brought his body to a level that even surpassed the physical strength of the Xuanwu Divine Beast.

The body-refining energy of a small fraction of the Xuanwu divine beast was thousands of times greater than the volume of Li Zhen's physical body. When it was all concentrated on Li Zhen's body, the resulting enhancement was significant.

In addition, the cultivation levels of the main nascent soul and the five nascent soul clones also increased rapidly after absorbing the fifth-order energy of the Xuanwu divine beast.

The fifth-order energy of the Xuanwu Divine Beast is the accumulation of tens of thousands of years. Normal living beings cannot live for that long, but the Xuanwu Divine Beast itself is a long-lived species. In addition, it has used some means to survive, so the energy it has accumulated is naturally astonishing.

Even if this fifth-order energy is divided equally among the six Nascent Souls, the energy obtained by each Nascent Soul is still incredibly abundant, enough to continuously improve the cultivation level of all six Nascent Souls.
