Chapter 820 Finally Achieving Godhood [Please Subscribe]

The Four-Nine Tribulation is a rare occurrence, happening only once every few thousand years. Its true power is difficult for anyone to ascertain.

Firstly, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder is not static; it changes depending on the situation of the person undergoing the tribulation. It's just that the lower limit is guaranteed.

Secondly, cultivators who have survived the Heavenly Tribulation at the Nascent Soul stage would not casually reveal such information.

Zhou Chun had once asked Tai Geng the God Venerable about the circumstances of his tribulation.

Tai Geng God Venerable did not hide anything from him and told him the relevant information truthfully.

According to Tai Geng, in order to overcome the Four-Nine Tribulation, he prepared five spiritual treasures in advance, in addition to his own natal spiritual treasure. The two worst ones were defensive spiritual treasures of the level of the [Azure Lotus Tribulation Armor], and the other two were spiritual treasures of the level of the [Nine-Nine Profound Heaven Sword Gourd].

The most powerful spiritual treasure is a reforged version of a broken, heaven-reaching spiritual treasure that had lost its spirit, making it even rarer than the Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield!

Even so, when he finally survived the Fourfold Tribulation, he only had one natal spiritual treasure left that was still intact.

The situation is actually quite similar for the other Nascent Soul cultivators.

Some people have exceptional luck and, while cultivating at the Nascent Soul stage, they receive the recognition of a Heavenly Treasure or a fragmented Heavenly Treasure. When they overcome the Four-Nine Tribulations, they have such treasures to help them. As long as they prepare spiritual items like the [Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk] to restore their magical power, they are not so afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Some people, like Tai Geng Divine Venerable, are just a little unlucky, so they can only search the entire cultivation world and prepare more powerful spiritual treasures for themselves.

If cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm set aside all scruples to collect spiritual treasures, aside from some truly profound sects with powerful Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators in charge, many ordinary major sects simply cannot stop them.

Throughout the history of the human cultivation world, many sects have declined and fallen into obscurity in this way.

As long as such matters are not taken too far and involve the complete annihilation of an entire family, generally no Nascent Soul stage cultivator would bother with them.

After all, if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could actually emerge, then wiping out ten major sects would be worthwhile!

Zhou Chun was able to honestly find materials and hire people to refine treasures on his own because he had the powerful backing of Tai Geng Divine Venerable.

Otherwise, given his humble origins, he might have to seek out powerful forces to "borrow treasures" for the sake of his own cultivation path!

Even though Zhou Chun learned some details about the Four-Nine Tribulations from Tai Geng Divine Venerable, he still found that his Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Power seemed to be a notch stronger than Tai Geng Divine Venerable's back then.

His preparations were undeniably thorough, but even now, it still seems somewhat uncertain!

boom!

With a deafening roar, Zhou Chun suppressed all his thoughts and focused intently on welcoming the final nine bolts of tribulation lightning.

This final round of tribulation lightning was even more powerful and unique than the previous tribulation lightning.

During the first three rounds of tribulation lightning, the power of the tribulation lightning would leak out and form scattered lightning strikes, which seemed to be very powerful, but in fact dispersed the power.

But the final round of tribulation lightning was different.

In this final round of tribulation lightning, the thunder returned to its original form, which was simply a pure bolt of lightning.

Then, golden and silver lightning flashed across the sky, and a bolt of golden and silver lightning, forked like a tree root, struck Zhou Chun.

Yes, golden and silver lightning!

In this final round of tribulation lightning, the lightning had changed from silver to a combination of gold and silver.

When the golden and silver lightning appeared, the surrounding space exploded with tiny cracks!

Such a powerful attack definitely reached the level of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

If it were an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand such an attack.

Zhou Chun then activated the [Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield] above his head to directly face the tribulation lightning strike.

However, with a single strike, cracks appeared all over the [Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield], and Zhou Chun could even hear the mournful cry of the weapon spirit in his mind.

This means that the treasure has begun to damage its very essence, and its spirit is in danger of perishing.

But this treasure was originally prepared for this very moment.

Therefore, Zhou Chun acted as if he hadn't heard anything. After blocking the first tribulation lightning, he immediately activated the divine power [Undying Primordial Soul] that this treasure had never used before.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from the golden shield, and the spirit of this magical treasure was directly sacrificed. A large amount of the treasure's primal power erupted, forming a sacred and magnificent golden shield wall standing in front of Zhou Chun.

The second bolt of lightning struck the golden shield wall, but only caused the shield wall to shake before its power was exhausted.

Then the third bolt of lightning struck it, and cracks began to appear on the golden shield wall.

As the fourth bolt of lightning struck, the golden shield wall was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the spiritual light it emitted had become very dim.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun, who had just consumed several drops of the [Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk], immediately summoned the [Nine-Nine Profound Heaven Sword Gourd], which he had never used before, and activated eighty-one streams of "Profound Heaven Sword Qi" to condense into a sword lotus, protecting himself within it.

This was originally an offensive sword formation, but now it is only used to consume the power of the tribulation lightning.

But then the fifth bolt of tribulation lightning struck down rapidly, and the golden sword lotus protecting Zhou Chun immediately collapsed and dissipated. The aftershocks bombarded the golden shield wall, finally shattering it completely!

As shattered fragments of the magical treasure scattered everywhere, the top-tier defensive magical treasure, the [Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield], was completely destroyed, with no possibility of repair.

Zhou Chun had no time to feel sorry for the destroyed spiritual treasure. He hurriedly activated his natal spiritual treasure, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, to shield his head. Golden light surged from the cauldron, condensing into a golden beast.

Even the spirit of his natal magic weapon has manifested, which shows that Zhou Chun has pushed the power of this natal magic weapon to its limit!

When the sixth bolt of tribulation lightning crashed down, the golden Hou beast also spat out golden light and bravely took the initiative to meet it head-on.

A natal magic weapon and a cultivator share the same fate. Therefore, when facing tribulation lightning, other treasures may be hesitant to fight, but a natal magic weapon has no way out!

However, although the spirit of the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] is powerful, it is ultimately just the spirit of a spiritual treasure.

After consuming most of the power of the tribulation lightning, it was blasted apart, with only a trace of spiritual radiance falling back into the golden cauldron.

Then the remaining tribulation lightning surged down, blasting the golden cauldron with a clanging sound, causing its spiritual light to dim and dissipate incessantly.

The damage from this single attack to this natal spiritual treasure would require at least fifty or sixty years of Zhou Chun's nurturing before it could recover!

The key issue is that his natal spiritual treasure is too deeply connected to himself, and Zhou Chun doesn't dare to risk complete destruction by letting it continue to withstand the tribulation lightning.

Therefore, when the seventh tribulation lightning struck, the one in front was replaced by the [Qiankun Zhenling Pagoda], a natal spiritual treasure.

Even this ancient spiritual treasure, which had the potential to be upgraded to a Heavenly Treasure, was unable to withstand the bombardment of tribulation lightning comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator and let out a mournful cry.

This treasure has only been nurtured by Zhou Chun for a short time, and it was not refined for long. Although it is powerful and has a high level of spirituality, it is still not as spiritually potent as the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron].

Fortunately, after the seventh tribulation lightning passed, Zhou Chun felt more confident!

Before the eighth bolt of lightning struck, he waved his hand and unleashed the long cone-shaped treasure crafted from the horn of the Thunderworm Beast.

The incarnation of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable said that this treasure was more than enough to deal with one of the tribulations in the previous three rounds of tribulation lightning.

But he always believed in using the best steel for the most important things, so of course he couldn't possibly use it up prematurely.

Now that only the last two tribulation lightning bolts remain, it's time to put this treasure to good use!

Once Zhou Chun activated the treasure, it immediately acted like a lightning rod, attracting the eighth bolt of tribulation lightning.

If the power of the tribulation lightning hadn't already reached the sixth level, it might have been able to completely neutralize this tribulation lightning power!

Unfortunately, it only lasted for a few breaths before dissipating several parts of the tribulation lightning's power and dissipating into dust in mid-air.

The remaining tribulation lightning did not falter at all, and quickly found its target again, crashing down on Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun spat out a mouthful of his life essence onto the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower] above his head, activating the treasure with all his might to meet the falling tribulation lightning.

puff!

A mouthful of blood gushed from Zhou Chun's mouth, but this time it was not voluntary; rather, it was caused passively by the severe damage to his natal spiritual treasure.

The Qiankun Suppressing Spirit Pagoda was not originally a dedicated defensive magic weapon. It had previously been activated by him to withstand a complete golden and silver tribulation lightning. Even with the help of his essence blood, it was still inevitably severely damaged by the tribulation lightning.

When the treasure flew back into his hand with a mournful cry, numerous cracks appeared on the tower, truly damaging its very essence!

Zhou Chun had no time to comfort the injured artifact spirit. After retrieving the spiritual treasure, he began to prepare to face the final tribulation lightning.

He immediately activated the True Dragon Seal within his body, unleashing the True Dragon Possession divine power, transforming on the spot into a silver thunder dragon tens of feet long.

Then he activated the secret technique and used the "Qiankun Zhuanling Jue" secret technique that he hadn't used in a long time!

When Zhou Chun was undergoing his tribulation, all the other demon kings and their spirit pets had already fled far away, except for one spirit pet, which was Fushan Jun, who was hibernating at the foot of Kunwu Peak using the tortoise breathing technique.

At this moment, Lord Fushan was completely dormant and asleep deep within Kunwu Peak, without revealing the slightest trace of his aura, just like a stone, and naturally not discovered by the heavenly tribulation.

However, because Zhou Chun is its master and there is a contract between them, they still maintain a connection.

Through this connection, Zhou Chun was still able to use the secret technique of "Qiankun Zhuanling Jue" to transfer some of the damage he was taking to him!

However, Zhou Chun was also worried that if the damage was transferred to him, it would expose his aura and trigger a heavenly tribulation.

Therefore, they could only dare to take this risky move when the final bolt of lightning struck.

As the final tribulation lightning of the Forty-Nine Tribulations, this thirty-sixth tribulation lightning indeed underwent another slight change.

Suddenly, a golden-silver vortex appeared in the thunderclouds in the sky, and then a thick beam of lightning shot out from the vortex, directly hitting the silver thunder dragon below.

This seemed to have exhausted all of the thundercloud's power, and before the result was even known, the thundercloud had already begun to dissipate.

Zhou Chun, who was facing the golden and silver lightning pillar, felt that everything in the world had disappeared, and his eyes and heart were filled only with that towering lightning pillar!

The Golden Cauldron of Myriad Transformations was held in Zhou Chun's mouth, and golden light surged from it, condensing into a curtain above his head.

He squeezed out all of his own magical power, activating the [Formless Geng Metal Divine Light] supernatural ability to protect himself.

He used to use this supernatural power as an offensive tool, but it can also be used for defense, although the mana consumed for defense is far greater than that for offense.

But now that it's the final blow, he can't care about consuming his magic power. Being able to deplete his own magic power is victory!

Rumble!

The deafening roar of the explosion echoed throughout half of the Yu Kingdom.

The dazzling lightning above Mount Kunwu could be faintly seen by mortals thousands of miles away.

The terrifying power of the thunder and lightning caused those with cultivation levels below the fifth rank within a radius of thousands of miles to tremble from the bottom of their hearts, their consciousness becoming muddled and confused, completely losing their ability to think.

Those fifth-order beings who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation were still able to maintain their senses, but they all felt a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts and couldn't help but lower their heads slightly.

The only exceptions were Venerable Changchun and the incarnations of Venerable Taigeng.

Even Venerable Changchun couldn't see clearly what was happening at the center of the thunder.

All I saw and heard was thunder and lightning!

In the short span of a few dozen breaths, it felt as long as decades to the cultivators who witnessed it all!

When the lightning subsided and the thunder ceased, Kunwu Peak finally reappeared in the eyes of the world.

At this moment, the summit of Kunwu Peak had been flattened by lightning by hundreds of feet, and the mountainside was covered with scorch marks and pits.

What was once a blessed and sacred place now resembles a scorched hell.

At this moment, Zhou Chun was like a sage who had attained enlightenment. Although he was leaning against the charred rocks, covered in blood and with disheveled hair, he possessed a strange magic that made everyone naturally find him and focus their attention on him.

In an instant, every cultivator who saw Zhou Chun felt the ethereal and unfathomable profound sounds of the Great Dao resonate in their hearts.

None of them could understand the meaning of the profound sound of the Great Dao, but those who were baptized by the profound sound of the Great Dao had their magical power and divine consciousness tempered invisibly.

Those who could truly understand the profound sounds of the Great Dao, such as Venerable Changchun and the incarnation of Divine Venerable Taigeng, at this moment slightly averted their gaze, shutting down their five senses and six consciousnesses, and did not listen to the profound sounds of the Great Dao.

That path is not my path!

Zhou Chunhua successfully ascended to immortality, and now the laws of the Great Dao have been bestowed upon him. Any cultivator below the sixth rank who does not engage in cultivation involving the laws of the Great Dao will see him as if they have seen the Great Dao itself, and will receive the profound initiation and baptism of the Great Dao's profound sound, reaping considerable benefits.

However, there are exceptions among the other six orders!

Each of the six levels has its own path, and if one rashly follows the path of another, it may lead to a wrong path and greatly increase the danger of transformation.

Therefore, even though Venerable Changchun's cultivation level was a small realm higher than Zhou Chun's, he could only avoid directly touching the path Zhou Chun was following, so as not to affect himself or Zhou Chun.

Fortunately, this blessing from the Great Dao will not last long.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Chun's special aura dissipated.

His injuries had completely healed at some point, and his entire body was even radiating golden divine light.

Venerable Changchun then turned his attention back to him, clapping his hands in delight and exclaiming, "Excellent! It seems Heaven still favors our human race, granting us another Nascent Soul cultivator at such a time!"

After saying this, he instructed the avatar of the Divine Venerable Tai Geng beside him, "Tai Geng, you stay here and continue to guard him. After he has consolidated his cultivation, take him to Changchun Valley to visit me!"

"I understand."

The avatar of the Tai Geng God nodded and readily agreed.

Then, after thinking for a moment, Venerable Changchun made a hand seal and cast a spell on the corpse of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint. A ball of azure-red demon saint's essence blood flew out from the corpse and was casually condensed into a blood pill, which he threw to the avatar of Venerable Taigeng.

"This time, I protected him by slaying the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, and this clump of the Demon Saint's essence blood is my compensation to him. Tai Geng, you should explain things to him after he wakes up!"

After saying this, Venerable Changchun left the place directly with the corpse of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint.

When the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable looked at the essence blood of the Demon Saint in his hand, he immediately understood what the Venerable Changchun meant.

Previously, Zhou Chun was unaware that the spiritual root that the Chongxuan Demon King had revived was an acquired spiritual root.

However, once he successfully transforms into a deity, this matter will inevitably become known.

Rather than letting him find out about this later and harbor resentment, it's better to bring it up proactively and make amends.

This time, after thousands of years, Venerable Changchun walked out of Changchun Valley in his true form for the first time, in order to protect Zhou Chun and help him kill the attacking Azure Phoenix Demon Saint.

This favor is truly immense!

Furthermore, with this mass of demon saint's essence blood containing at least one-fifth of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint's essence, Zhou Chun should no longer be bothered by that acquired spiritual root.

"Senior Changchun is still the same Senior Changchun. He always does things so meticulously, leaving no room for criticism!"

Tai Geng, the Divine Venerable, sighed inwardly and carefully put away the blood pill, a smile appearing on his lips.

Although Venerable Changchun gained a great deal, he was not bad either!

If Zhou Chunhua succeeds, his previous investments will yield substantial returns.

If he needs help from someone of the same level in the future, Zhou Chun will definitely be the most suitable candidate, just like Venerable Changchun always thinks of him first when he needs something.

In the future, among all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the human race, Zhou Chun, the youngest Nascent Soul stage cultivator, will surely be his Tai Geng Divine Venerable's most steadfast ally!

Thinking this, he waved his sleeves at Luo Qingni, Zhou Xinyuan, and the others with a beaming smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhou has just achieved the Great Dao and still needs to calmly consolidate his realm. You should not rush back to rebuild the mountain gate, lest you disturb his cultivation!"

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Senior Tai Geng. We juniors know what to do!"

Luo Qingni and the others responded respectfully, and then withdrew with joy and excitement on their faces.

If we're talking about who's happiest about Zhou Chun's successful ascension to godhood, it's naturally his close friends, relatives, and disciples.

However, since Venerable Changchun and Venerable Taigeng were both present, they dared not let their joy go unchecked.

Now that they have received confirmation from the Tai Geng Divine Lord that Zhou Chunhua has succeeded in becoming a deity, they naturally want to go back and express their joy to celebrate this momentous occasion!
