A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Zhou Yi directly gave Lin Xiu a "pride comes before a fall" buff.

In his mind, Lin Xiu could casually throw out a giant mountain range, so he could definitely handle this heavenly tribulation that even the nine mountains of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land could not destroy!

of course.

Lin Xiu also hoped that he could be that awesome.

If he had the strength to shatter nine sacred mountains right now, he would dare to walk his dog in the restricted area tomorrow.

On the other side, Lin Xiu's side.

After taking in the divine sense of the Great Perfection Holy Body, Lin Xiu sat cross-legged in the air, his body shimmering with golden light, his blood and qi as vigorous as a furnace, showing no signs of weakness or death.

The listless state Lin Xiu had just displayed was the result of using the "Dao Sorrow Method" he obtained on Earth, combined with the profound mystery of the Blood Character Ancient Talisman, to lock all his abundant essence, energy, and spirit into his own blood. It was a difficult feat he had managed to create.

Beyond the blood lies a nearly withered physical body.

Within the blood lies the vital energy locked away by the ancient blood-written symbols.

Therefore, the Great Accomplished Sacred Body's divine sense was fooled, and it truly believed that Lin Xiu was about to die, so it kept using the Sacred Fruit, trying to make a final gamble.

Now that he had the divine sense in his possession, Lin Xiu naturally had no need to pretend any longer.

After the blood-written ancient talisman was unsealed, the boundless essence in Lin Xiu's blood surged back!

Chapter 16: Successive Breakthroughs, Pure Golden Holy Blood

At this moment, Lin Xiu's golden blood and Wushuang's body became one, perfectly intertwined, and his originally withered body was once again full of endless vitality!

After absorbing nine sacred fruits for Foundation Establishment, Lin Xiu's Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm was pushed to its peak!

His sea of ​​suffering was boiling, his life spring was gushing, and the divine bridge spanned the other shore, leading directly to the Dao Palace! The five divine treasures of the Dao Palace corresponding to the five internal organs were suddenly opened under the impact of endless essence and the Dao principles of the sacred fruit!

The barrier that had troubled countless powerful beings on the other side was pierced as thin as paper, and he directly broke into the Dao Palace Secret Realm!

boom!

Lin Xiu's internal organs and Dao Palace roared, and a divine phantom appeared and disappeared within them.

However, since the Holy Body does not cultivate the divine but only cultivates its own body, the newly born "God of Fire" has not yet fully gathered before transforming into pure essence to nourish Lin Xiu's physical body.

........

He broke through to the Dao Palace Secret Realm so naturally.

In fact, it's not just the first level of heaven!

The nine sacred fruits released all the pent-up energy that Lin Xiu had accumulated under the oppressive environment of Earth!

After reaching the first level, Lin Xiu's second Dao Palace God also rapidly took shape under the nourishment of endless sacred fruit essence and Dao principles!

Two worlds apart!

Although he had only recently broken through to the Other Shore Extreme Realm, now, thanks to the partial foundation-building effect of the Sacred Fruit, Lin Xiu's foundation has rapidly increased, reaching a level sufficient for him to break through again in one go!

However, even so, Lin Xiu was not happy at all.

Because he discovered that calamity clouds were beginning to gather above his head!

Even top-tier geniuses usually only face the tribulation of heaven after reaching the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Lin Xiu didn't consider himself a top-tier genius, so logically, he shouldn't have triggered the tribulation of lightning so early!

However, his situation was truly special; he possessed a double Holy Body, even more sacred than the Holy Body itself.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiu understood the reason.

Firstly, he consumed several sacred fruits, gaining an excessive amount of essence and Dao principles in one go. Although only a portion was used for foundation building, and most of it was transformed into life potential, it still met the standard for continuous breakthroughs.

Secondly, he possesses double the original essence of the Holy Body. It's normal for someone with a Holy Body to be struck by lightning. Ye Fan was also frequently struck by lightning in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Thirdly, his sacred body bloodline had been tempered by the ancient blood-letter runes. Although it was only a preliminary tempering, it still made his bloodline purity surpass that of other sacred bodies of the same level.

It can be said that if Lin Xiu hadn't been practicing a fragmented Daoist scripture, his holy blood would probably have already turned completely golden by now!

The complete transformation of blood into gold is a sign of the completion of the first stage of the Holy Body!

When the Holy Body is partially formed... Heaven will send down a Primordial Dao Diagram to block the way forward!

"Could it be that as this tribulation lightning strikes, a primordial Dao diagram will eventually descend?"

Lin Xiu was not afraid of the lightning tribulation, but he was truly afraid of the Innate Dao Diagram.

A primordial Dao diagram that even a saint with a divine king body can't withstand, let whoever wants to withstand it take it, he certainly doesn't want to!

"In short, let's get through this calamity first. If the Primordial Dao Diagram really does descend, then there's only one way..."

Lin Xiu looked towards the abyss of the desolate ancient forbidden land, where there was a Great Perfection Saint Body and a Mortal Half-Immortal.

[If I were to cough up holy blood while saying, "If I die, who will take care of my sister?", I wonder if the Empress would intervene?]

Well, anyway, let's treat this as a last resort.

Although doing this is suicidal, it's still better than being ground to death by the Primordial Dao Diagram!

........

After making his decision, Lin Xiu let out a long roar, first fusing the ancient blood-word rune into his own blood, and then... he began to confront the heavenly tribulation before him head-on!

Golden holy blood roared within his body, and golden light flowed across his skin, as if he were coated with a layer of gold film.

"boom!"

The sky ripped open! Nine bolts of purple lightning, like dragon spears, pierced the sky, aiming straight for Lin Xiu's crown. Lin Xiu's pupils contracted sharply, and the runes of the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique rolled upwards, directly confronting the lightning.

The purple lightning exploded, and the runes shattered.

Lin Xiu staggered backward, his golden body cracking with fine golden lines, almost being shattered by the heavenly tribulation!

The heavenly tribulation showed no sign of stopping, and the thunderous tide followed in quick succession! The purple sea churned, and immense thunder condensed into a serpent, pouncing towards Lin Xiu!

Behind Lin Xiu, the Holy Body manifested its extraordinary phenomena: a golden sea of ​​suffering surged with towering waves, the illusory figure of the Immortal King sat high in the heavens, and golden lotuses bloomed in the sea of ​​suffering, struggling to resist the descending lightning.

"Om~"

The void trembled.

Nine divine phantoms emerged from the tribulation clouds, some wielding thunder halberds, others holding lightning whips, their divine might pressing down like a prison!

The illusory figure of the Immortal King behind Lin Xiu suddenly stood up and slapped the group of gods with a palm.

The golden palm clashed with the thunder soldier, and the sound of the Dao shook the barren mountain to the ground!

In addition to using the phenomena inherent in the Holy Body, Lin Xiu also frantically formed hand seals, pushing the Myriad Transformations Holy Technique to its limit.

There was no other way; the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique was the only Emperor-level secret technique he had fully comprehended. Even before he awakened the system, Lin Xiu had already used it with considerable skill.

Although the Holy Body phenomenon was also very strong, Lin Xiu was not very familiar with it.

In Lin Xiu's hand, the runes of the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique flew out like an assembly line, turning the falling lightning into decay, almost rubbing sparks from Lin Xiu's hands.

Even so, the lightning was still violent, causing Lin Xiu's blood and qi to surge, the golden light to flicker, and even the Immortal King's phantom could hardly sit still. Many of the golden lotuses also withered.

After just one wave of lightning tribulation, Lin Xiu's entire body was charred black, and his skin was torn open.

Fortunately, Lin Xiu had recently consumed a large amount of sacred fruit, and nourished by it, his entire being was brimming with vitality.

The physical body quickly recovered from the destruction.

Normally, a heavenly tribulation of this level is completely beyond the capacity of a newly initiated holy body to withstand.

But Lin Xiu actually managed to withstand it!

The reason for this is Lin Xiu's ancient blood-written runes and his incredibly powerful divine sense.

The ancient blood-written talisman always appears to lack divinity, but it always manages to preserve Lin Xiuzhen's blood, making his divinity immortal and giving him the opportunity to recover using the sacred fruit and the divine spring.

Lin Xiu's divine sense was also extremely powerful, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators at the Four Extremes or even those who had transformed into dragons. He had even gone very far in the Sendai realm!

Although his physical body had been charred black by the ground, Lin Xiu's primordial spirit remained intact, suffering only minor injuries at most.

In the natural world, lightning tribulations only strike the physical body, but in the cultivation world, lightning tribulations strike both the physical body and the primordial spirit! Logically speaking, a lightning tribulation that can almost annihilate the physical body can also nearly shatter the primordial spirit!

However, Lin Xiu's primordial spirit was in an exceptionally good state.

"Judging from the fact that the damage to my primordial spirit is far less than that to my physical body, the extraordinary nature of my primordial spirit even surpasses that of my physical body!"

"But I haven't practiced any special secret techniques... so how could I have such a powerful primordial spirit?"

In the end, Lin Xiu turned his attention to the ancient blood-letter runes.

"This level of primordial spirit strength is beyond what the physical body can achieve by nourishing the primordial spirit or simply cultivating the primordial spirit."

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason my primordial spirit is so powerful is most likely because I've comprehended the ancient primordial characters!"

"According to the system, the time I spent comprehending was quite long, long enough to wear down my soul, which is why I needed to sever the relevant memories after comprehending."

"As long as you have enough time to comprehend, even without specifically cultivating any primordial spirit techniques, your primordial spirit power will naturally increase!"

"But... I haven't been cultivating in the system's enlightenment space, I've only been comprehending. Even if my primordial spirit has grown a little, it should be quite slow. I don't know how many years it would take to raise it to its current strength."

"Logically speaking, a normal cultivator's primordial spirit shouldn't be able to last that long. The reason the Supreme One chose to seal himself away was precisely because his Immortal Platform collapsed and his primordial spirit couldn't withstand it, right?"

Why hadn't his primordial spirit shattered after so much time of comprehension? Lin Xiu could only attribute it to the miraculous power of the system.

This system requires the host to comprehend high-level rewards on their own, which is fine. But if it can't even protect the host's soul while the host is comprehending the Dao, causing the host to die while comprehending, then it might as well just send it to the recycling station for recycling.

........

Thus, Lin Xiu's primordial spirit remained steadfast, standing firm amidst the tribulation lightning, while his physical body continuously underwent a cycle of destruction and rebirth.

Having experienced countless destructions and resurrections, Lin Xiu's physical body became incredibly divine. The incompatibility between the Dao principles and his physical constitution caused by his sudden transformation into a Holy Body was almost completely resolved!

Even Lin Xiu's primordial spirit became stronger due to the baptism of the lightning tribulation!

Half an hour later, Lin Xiu finally made it through!

"Ahem, although there's a slight suspicion of cheating, I got through it, and that's that. From now on, I can call myself a top genius!"

"But where is the Primordial Dao Diagram? Why haven't I seen it?"

At this moment, the blood Lin Xiu coughed up had turned completely golden, signifying the completion of his minor Saint Body. Lin Xiu did not believe that the Innate Dao Diagram would let go of a Saint Body that was about to be completed.

The reason he was so confident was because... he had another method he had never used before!

Even when his body was half-crippled by lightning, he never used that method!

He has preserved that method to this day in order to welcome the Primordial Dao Diagram!
