The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

"Buzz—"

The three supreme god cores spun rapidly, stabilizing the immense cultivation within Huo Zhanji's body. At this moment, his physical strength had also increased significantly, and at least for now, his divine position had become clear.

"The Way of Heaven?" Huo Zhanji's eyes were filled with confusion.

[Ding, system has issued a task—Achieving Godhood (time limit: one year), reward: unknown]

"System, what is my true identity?" Huo Zhanji asked.

Leaving aside the other two cores, the Eternal Core alone is already shrouded in mystery. At his current level, he can sense something more or less. The person who gave him the Eternal Core is his future self.

[Once you, host, have overcome the tribulation to become a god, you will know that this system exists solely for you.]

"The Heavenly Dao Godhood? Why did I, from the future, return to the present?" Huo Zhanji fell into deep thought.

"The Heavenly Dao Ultimate Emperor Armor is getting more and more interesting."

In the following days, Huo Zhanji tried to go further. During this time, after absorbing the million-year-level lightning tribulation of Di Tian and the others, his body was almost resistant to the lightning tribulation.

Huo Zhanji himself began to undergo a complete transformation, radiating a strange brilliance, which meant that he was already moving towards success.

Gu Yuena also closed her eyes to rest, always keeping herself in the best condition, because she knew that once Huo Zhanji finished his cultivation, he would immediately begin his tribulation. The soul beast clan had already boarded Huo Zhanji's ship, and they would share both glory and loss.

On this day, Huo Zhanji, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty. How could his tribulation to become a god have such a great impact? Could it even affect the entire Douluo Continent?

Huo Zhanji immediately stood up, took a step into the air, glanced at the Star Dou Great Forest and Shrek Academy in the distance, and calmly summoned his system.

"System, I'm about to begin my tribulation to become a god," Huo Zhanji said.

The system will teleport the host to the Ascension Platform.

With a flash of white light, Huo Zhanji arrived at the foot of a peculiar building. In front of him were tens of thousands of steps, and for some reason, he felt very familiar with this place.

"Ascend the altar, and let me see if I can successfully become a god!" Huo Zhanji said calmly.

Just then, seven beams of different colors appeared around Huo Zhanji. Upon seeing the people in the beams, Huo Zhanji frowned. The people in the seven beams were clearly Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan, Meng Hongchen, and Gu Yuena, who was in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"It really is time to undergo tribulation, but why is the pressure so great?" Gu Yuena looked surprised.

"Why are you here?" Huo Zhanji didn't answer Gu Yuena's question, but instead asked why they were here.

"We were originally in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, but somehow we were brought here by that beam of light. And what is this place?" Wang Dong'er asked.

"This is the Ascension Platform. If I want to become a god, I must undergo two great trials: climbing the Heavenly Ladder and passing the Tribulation of Lightning. Today, I will ascend to godhood." Huo Zhanji said as he took his first step.

"Boom!"

The sky trembled violently. At this moment, the sky above the altar seemed to have become distorted. The powerful pressure impacted Huo Zhanji and washed over everything in him. The sky seemed to have shattered, and the void of the universe could be vaguely seen in the distorted light and shadow.

All the women were utterly shocked. Could they really overcome such a tribulation to become a god?

Without pausing, Huo Zhanji took a second step. Under the pressure of that distorted space, he walked very steadily. He had already decided not to use any cultivation to climb the Heavenly Ladder. The pressure of the Heavenly Ladder was also his first step in transcending the mortal realm and becoming a god. Huo Zhanji's steps as he climbed upwards were very steady.

The higher you go, the greater the pressure becomes. Breaking through this pressure is obviously not an easy task. A flash of light appeared on Huo Zhanji's body, and his eight soul bones appeared one after another, combining to form a set of armor.

The staircase in the sky began to undergo strange changes. The original staircase was now filled with a powerful pressure, and Huo Zhanji's climbing speed seemed to be increasing.

According to the system's description, the Heavenly Ladder has 10,000 steps. At this moment, he has only climbed a few hundred steps. The road is still long, but his steps are steady and quick, as if this ascent is nothing at all.

One thousand steps, one thousand eight hundred steps... Huo Zhanji kept climbing higher and higher into the sky. Finally, when he reached the three thousandth step, Huo Zhanji stopped. His soul bone armor was covered with cracks, as if it was about to break at any moment.

The women couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Just as Huo Zhanji was climbing the stairs, they were also drawn down to the same height as him by the beam of light. The next moment, Huo Zhanji's soul bone armor shattered, and their hearts sank to the bottom. Although they didn't know what kind of pressure Huo Zhanji was facing, they knew that such pressure would come crashing down on them.

"Phew, in the end, we still couldn't hold them off?" Huo Zhan sighed.

The next second, a golden belt suddenly appeared around Huo Zhanji's waist. He raised his hand and took off the Tai Chi pattern from his neck and fastened it to the belt.

"Heavenly Dao. Ultimate Emperor Armor, Combine!"

Fragments of armor appeared out of thin air, accompanied by powerful flashes of lightning, and attached themselves to Huo Zhanji's body. The shattered Soul Bone Armor also merged into the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Emperor Armor. A dazzling and intense light erupted, obscuring everyone's vision. When the light dissipated, a tall and extremely imposing figure appeared where Huo Zhanji had been.

The Soul Bone Set, composed of eight Soul Bones, fused with the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Emperor Armor to form the Heavenly Dao Set. At this moment, Huo Zhanji calmly faced the remaining steps.

The next instant, Huo Zhanji, dressed in the Heavenly Dao Set, began to run wildly up the ten thousand steps. The divine power contained within his body continued to rise under this pressure, and in just a moment he broke through the hundredth step.
