The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

"Phew, after absorbing the Asura Divine Power from your body, my soul power level is already at the peak of level ninety-seven, and I can break through to level ninety-eight at any time." Huo Zhanji breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Gu Yuena as he spoke.

"I'm afraid your two levels of soul power require an astronomical amount of spiritual power, so it probably won't be that easy to break through," Gu Yuena said, stretching her waist.

"I plan to forcibly absorb the tribulations that Di Tian and the others went through during their breakthroughs to temper my body and use the power of the lightning tribulation to reach my limit." Huo Zhanji blurted out his idea all at once.

"A heavenly tribulation? That seems like a good option, but are you really not going to consider my method?" Gu Yuena asked Huo Zhanji as she pondered.

"I'll consider it when I'm desperate," Huo Zhanji said, waving his hand.

"Just contact me when you've made up your mind. I'm always here," Gu Yuena said with a slight smile.

"That day will not come." After saying that, Huo Zhanji flashed out of the Lake of Life.

As Gu Yuena watched Huo Zhanji leave, she murmured, "Am I really less attractive than them?"

After emerging from the Lake of Life, Huo Zhanji sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, intending to break through to level 98 in one go. The soul power flowing within his body had been transformed into divine power by the three cores.

His overall physical fitness has improved several times over, especially in terms of strength, which has increased exponentially, with a full-force strike weighing almost 800,000 jin.

"A 190% increase in all attributes... I wonder if I can withstand the tribulation of becoming a god. System, how strong is my tribulation of becoming a god?" Huo Zhanji asked.

[Ninefold Tribulation: Surviving it leads to godhood and freedom in the mortal world; failure results in annihilation, leaving no trace.]

"How does it compare to them undergoing a hundred thousand years of heavenly tribulation?" Huo Zhanji asked somewhat unwillingly.

[It's impossible to compare; in short, with each tribulation you overcome, the next tribulation becomes stronger.]

"Each section is better than the last." Huo Zhanji seemed somewhat helpless, but his eyes conveyed an even stronger sense of determination.

Huo Zhanji spent two days cultivating. For him, breaking through to level 98 was just one step away. Perhaps absorbing a heavenly tribulation would be enough to break through.

Just then, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Huo Zhanji. It was none other than the Emperor Beast King Qiu'er, but at this moment, she had an anxious look on her face.

Huo Zhanji asked softly, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong, Qiu'er? You look so panicked, what happened?"

Wang Qiu'er said anxiously, "Bear King, Crimson King, Purple Princess, and the Demon King have all broken through at the same time, and the tribulation lightning is currently brewing."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhanji's eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared on his face: "It is estimated that its power is no less than the Heavenly Tribulation when Di Tian broke through 900,000 years ago. My opportunity to break through to the 98th level Title Douluo has arrived."

Before long, the two arrived at the site where they were undergoing their tribulation. Feeling the churning dark clouds in the sky, Huo Zhanji's expression became solemn. He felt a strong sense of oppression from the constantly gathering black clouds.

At this moment, the several ferocious beasts undergoing tribulation stood in the very center, staring directly at the dark clouds in the sky. They turned their heads to look at Huo Zhanji, who had rushed over, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the sky, amidst the dense clouds, purple lightning surged and gathered, seemingly preparing for a devastating strike that would instantly kill the ferocious beasts below, who were enduring the heavenly tribulation.

The dense purple aura in the clouds bathed the entire area in an eerie purple hue, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air. The ferocious beasts standing in this open space wore various expressions on their faces.

Huo Zhanji flashed to the side of the ferocious beasts and said, "Leave the heavenly tribulation to me. Just focus on dodging."

As soon as he finished speaking, a very loud roar suddenly came from the sky, and then a bolt of purple lightning tore through the clouds and crashed down.

The purple lightning flashed with extremely dazzling light, instantly illuminating the entire sky with a faint purple hue. The lightning was also extremely fast, striking straight towards Huo Zhanji.

At this moment, Huo Zhanji's body emitted colorful light. The Dragon God Martial Soul had completed its possession and directly met the purple lightning. The lightning entered Huo Zhanji's body the instant it made contact, transforming into streams of pure heaven and earth energy.

"Phew, almost there." Huo Zhanji stared at the tribulation clouds in the sky, seemingly having made up his mind. He wanted to directly enter the tribulation clouds and absorb the power. "Martial Soul True Body!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the ferocious beasts, Huo Zhanji transformed into a giant dragon ten thousand meters long and flew directly into the tribulation clouds in the sky. The heavenly lightning seemed to be angered by Huo Zhanji's unruly attitude, and countless bolts of purple lightning gathered in the dark clouds, their sound like the roar of heaven and earth, striking Huo Zhanji's dragon body.

After the thick smoke dissipated, although Huo Zhanji was in a sorry state, his eyes became incredibly bright as he returned to human form. He had completely absorbed the power of the heavenly tribulation and transformed it into his own cultivation, stepping into the level 98 Title Douluo.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, leaving only a streak of purple lightning flashing and roaring as if in unwilling defiance.

The dark clouds completely dispersed, revealing the sky's original appearance once more. Under the renewed sunlight, the Starry Sky Forest returned to its usual state.

"Take it easy next time you break through, try to spread out the time, you almost killed me with that," Huo Zhanji said, patting the dust off his clothes.

"We didn't expect your technique to be so abnormal. By the time we realized we had broken through, it was already too late," Zi Ji said helplessly, spreading her hands.

"It's not a big problem, it's still within my control. But if there's one more, you'll be on your own," Huo Zhanji said.

"Di Tian," Bi Ji's respectful voice rang out.

"Is everything ready?" Di Tian asked casually.

Brigitte nodded: "The Shrek people have arrived too. But we need to get there quickly. I'm afraid the tribespeople won't be able to control themselves."

"Okay, let's go." Di Tian waved his hand, and the three of them disappeared from the spot.

Shrek Academy has sent people to the Star Dou Great Forest. If the soul beasts lose their temper and impulsively launch an attack, it is very possible.

"Roar—" A deep dragon roar resounded through the sky, and the sky darkened instantly. The chaotic situation just a moment ago suddenly became calm. The dark clouds landed, and Di Tian appeared in front of the beast horde with an icy expression.
