—------------------—
The surging energy and blood seemed to exceed the endurance limit of the demiplane. This demiplane was no better than the undead demiplane, but it was something that Alex did casually in his early years. Now he had to take action to maintain the order of the space.
Fortunately, Xu Tianxi's blood and energy explosion did not last too long. After half an hour, he successfully gathered all the surging blood and energy and adapted to the drastic changes.
In the middle dantian, the qi, blood and soul core is like a bright blood-colored pearl with countless light spots on its surface. Each light spot looks like a black hole when you look closely, transporting qi, blood, soul power, and emitting life energy.
After a near-death experience, his understanding of vitality has become much deeper. Even if he does not become a god, he is confident that he can live on earth for at least 500 years with his current body and maintain his prime state, making death even more difficult.
At the same time, the miserable state of the mess in the lower dantian also improved. The spiritual soul core and the qi and blood soul core penetrated the sky bridge, converged down, and stabilized everything.
His soul power, like his consciousness and blood, stimulated its potential between life and death, and its quality rose to multiple levels, crystal clear like mist and colorful. The second soul core that was once like an illusory star now appeared in reality and was indestructible.
The direction of rotation of the soul power soul core was reversed, which was surprisingly the same as the mental soul core, and the opposite of the qi and blood soul core; the essence, qi and spirit, the three were combined into one to nourish itself.
Xu Tianxi released his consciousness, regained full consciousness, and let out a long breath. His eyes shone like waves, his pupils were like the vast ocean, and the illusion created by his consciousness was deep and boundless.
"Break down, then rebuild, return to the original, and finally make this step. Ninety percent of my soul power has now been transformed into divine power. Every breath I take can form black holes that can hold infinite soul power. My level... should be in the late ninety-ninth level, right? It seems I can still improve."
After stretching his muscles, Xu Tianxi looked inward and summarized his gains. After the three soul cores were connected, the final bottleneck could no longer stop him. His soul power soared into the sky, comparable to years of hard practice, reaching a level that others could not reach even after decades of hard practice.
"boom!"
At this moment, there was a loud thunder above his head. Xu Tianxi's face changed slightly. He knew that this was a breakthrough in his soul power, which brought about another calamity in the dimension.
"This demiplane is not easy to use. Something might go wrong." Glancing at the environment, Xu Tianxi immediately looked at Alex and said:
"Teacher, please take me to the undead demiplane. It's a good place to overcome the tribulation."
Electrolux glanced at him and said with a smile, "You finally made it through this life-or-death gate. Why don't you go out for a walk and let your friends see you?"
He looked up at the brewing calamity clouds and said meaningfully, "This divine thunder of your heavenly tribulation may be of no consequence to you, but if it were to be deployed on a battlefield... it would be incredibly powerful."
"There's no rush to kill the enemy. After all, I haven't broken through the last shackles yet. It's better to keep a low profile for now."
Xu Tianxi shook his head. The idea of using the heavenly tribulation to kill the enemy was very tempting to him, but this method could only catch the enemy by surprise the first time. He thought that with his current strength, he could fight against some gods with weaker strength, but the Saint Lord of the Abyss was extraordinary. He was the lord of the plane who possessed a super artifact.
Only the heavenly tribulation when he becomes a god can make him suffer such a great loss!
"Okay." Seeing that Xu Tianxi had his own plans, Alex didn't say much. He opened the passage to the undead demiplane and led the two of them over.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!"
The nine-colored thunderstorm was like a torrential downpour, sweeping down from the sky. Each bolt of lightning was at least as thick as a water jar, and could make even the strongest warriors like Di Tian change color. Its power was greater than Ye Xishui's all-out attack from the Death God Tower.
If one were to undergo the tribulation on the Douluo plane, it would definitely cause the world to quickly turn into a dead place, destroying all life, and turning the area within a radius of hundreds of miles into nothingness.
This is also the important reason why Xu Tianxi doesn't want to go out directly. If he goes out, he will be in the basement of Heaven. If a thunderbolt strikes him, wouldn't he, the master of Heaven, be destroying his own home with his own hands?
And going into the battlefield with thunder and lightning is even more terrifying... Maybe before you even reach the battlefield, the space along the way will be split open.
"Three-word battle armor, appear!"
A harmonious and auspicious halo of the sun and the moon rose from under his feet. Xu Tianxi's three-character battle armor condensed in the void and merged into his body, welcoming the baptism of thunder with him.
This battle armor had already gone through several heavenly tribulations with him. After going through the heavenly tribulation again this time, Xu Tianxi, whose spiritual consciousness realm had skyrocketed, seemed to be able to sense a wonderful rhythm of heaven and earth. He followed this rhythm to sharpen his body and temper his flesh and battle armor.
One after another, heavenly tribulations fell, shocking the vast army of undead creatures. Their instinct to fear the strong made them hesitate and dared not look directly at them.
"Using thunder tribulation to cleanse your armor, I'm really surprised you came up with such a dangerous method, but it's indeed a good idea. It's worth it that I taught you some weapon refining experience."
Electrolux watched Xu Tianxi stretching his arms and bathing in the thunder, like a roc soaring in the sky, an eagle flying three hundred miles across the sky, wandering across the boundless universe, and a sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously.
The soul guide system in this world is very different from that in Electrolux's world, but Electrolux is a top expert in hand-made equipment and can always think of some things that can be applied to other areas. Xu Tianxi once asked him about the concept of making his own soul guide and also put forward some of his own ideas for Electrolux to correct.
What made Alex most gratified was that Xu Tianxi was influenced by him and thought that making a tower-shaped soul guide was a good goal, and he had already started trying. It was just that time was too tight and he did not have time to collect enough materials to cast this soul guide.
Moreover, after he cultivated to his current level, he naturally had the idea of surpassing Kong Deming in the level of soul guides. He wanted to make a natal soul guide of level eleven or above. Only in this way could he significantly increase his combat power. Otherwise, it would not make much sense and would just be an empty shell.
In this regard, Electrolux expressed his understanding. If he couldn't make an unprecedented and handy weapon with his own hands, it would be better not to do it.
After a while, the heavenly calamity dissipated, and Xu Tianxi returned with bloody wounds all over his body, coughing up blood continuously, and large areas of his battle armor were damaged.
However, Xu Tianxi looked very excited and happy; he activated the three soul cores, and in ten minutes he completely recovered from his injuries, and his aura reached a new level.
The baptism-hardened three-character battle armor also underwent a transformation. The field of sun and moon auras it released suddenly expanded in scope and sublimated. The vast and boundless light and shadows of the sun and moon hung in the air, as if evolving into a brilliant starry sky.
In the Sea of Spirit, the Mountain Dragon King, who was resting on his stomach, yawned, then woke up and commented:
"Your spiritual awareness has surpassed the realm of a third-level god, and your energy and blood are approaching that of a second-level god. The transformation of your soul power into divine power is imminent."
"Don't let up. Now is not the time to relax. Once you break through the shackles of a hundred levels and ascend to godhood, everything you have will undergo a major transformation. It won't be too late to be happy then."
"You still have two layers of my seals to break. Once you completely refine the energy and blood within those two seals, even a first-level god will be unable to harm you."
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. I have saved myself the trouble."
Xu Tianxi responded seriously with a calm expression. He was about to become a god, so his emotions were turbulent, but it was impossible for him to open champagne at halftime.
Taking out a pill the size of a fingernail and swallowing it, Xu Tianxi looked at Alex and asked about the situation in the abyss battlefield.
"During your absence, the fighting in the Abyss Battlefield has indeed intensified. Those guys couldn't break through the defenses of Spirit Fighting City, so they started trying to circumvent them. The little silver dragon also led the undead army to engage them, refusing to let go."
Ilex thought for a moment and said, "Most of the masters from the Sun-Moon Empire have entered the battlefield. The strong ones from several major soul beast gathering areas have also joined the battle to help defend. In the past few days, even some ocean soul beasts have begun to move out."
"Generally speaking, the current situation is still under control. However, just two days ago, a master with divine power appeared in the Abyss Plane, raided the position, and defeated many undead creatures. Di Tian intervened to stop him. The guy claimed to be the Lord of the Third Layer of the Abyss, the Fierce Emperor."
"Emperor Lie, that's normal." Xu Tianxi nodded and asked, "Where's Xiaoye? I vaguely sensed her arrival during my retreat. How did her Nine Trials of the God of Fire go?"
"No news yet." Electrolux shook his head.
"Has the ninth test not yet been completed?"
Xu Tianxi frowned, took out the Water God Pearl, and contacted the Water God with his spiritual sense.
The Water God's shadow quickly emerged. Seeing that Xu Tianxi's cultivation had reached level ninety-nine, he immediately beamed with joy and said with a smile:
"Are you ready to accept the throne of the God of Water? I've almost recovered all the fragments of the Trident of the God of Sea, but there's still one main piece left that I haven't found yet..."
"Xiao Huo is in charge of collecting the fragments of the Sea God's throne. He has found them all and can drop them down for you anytime."
"Thank you for your concern, Senior. I'd like to ask how my disciple's Divine Exam is progressing. Is there any problem with her ninth test?"
Xu Tianxi bowed in thanks and was very grateful for the help of the Water God. He did so for the future of the water gods, but it also helped him a lot. He didn't have time to leave the Douluo plane to look for things in the universe.
"Xiao Ye's ninth test, wait for me..." The Water God disappeared temporarily after hearing this, and reappeared after a moment, answering:
"She has already passed the test of conscience, and the Vulcan God Armor is complete. However, she is now integrating the fragments of the Angel God Position into the Vulcan God Position. The Angel Holy Sword is also almost successful."
"Does that mean she has actually completed the nine trials?" Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news, then immediately asked, "Is it possible for this junior to witness something?"
"Well... in principle it's not possible, but your situation is special, so it's possible." The Water God rolled his eyes and agreed to Xu Tianxi.
The next moment, she opened a door of energy light.
Xu Tianxi said goodbye to Electrolux first, then stepped in.
Suddenly, the light and shadow in front of him changed, and he entered a majestic palace. Ye Guyi was kneeling in a giant light array. He was wearing the majestic armor of the God of Fire, and every inch of his body contained the bright sun, blooming with brilliant divine power.
Around her, the Sword of the God of Fire and the Holy Sword of the Angel flew one after another. Below her was the complete throne of the God of Fire, and above her head was the broken throne of the Angel. Up and down, the divine light interacted and gradually merged into one.
"Her angel spirit possesses both divine and fire attributes, making her the perfect choice for my position as the God of Fire." The God of Fire spoke, his voice as rough as thunder, revealing a hot temper.
"Looking at the current situation, the Angel God Position seems to be still somewhat resistant to being completely integrated?" Xu Tianxi has excellent eyesight and quickly grasped the key point.
One is the intact throne of the God of Fire, and the other is the throne of the Angel that has been broken for ten thousand years. It is obvious at a glance which one is stronger. It is said to be a fusion, but the throne of the God of Fire must be the main body, followed by the throne of the Angel.
"That's right, but it's just a matter of time." Vulcan nodded.
Xu Tianxi's eyes swirled and soon fixed on the Holy Sword of the Angel. There was a breath of life there. He released his spiritual sense and saw a slender light and shadow.
"So it's you, and you're still alive..."
Xu Tianxi recognized Qian Renxue's presence, thought for a moment, and then shouted loudly:
"Angel God, I've heard that your Angel family has always had great priests who have helped future generations to succeed. In this world, you are the only one who can influence the position of Angel God. Why don't you make a decision sooner rather than later?"
The angel's holy sword vibrated, and a beam of light flew out. It said, "I originally wanted to dwell in the holy sword forever, transforming into a spiritual consciousness of the holy sword. Are you asking me to burn my own consciousness to fulfill her wish?"
Xu Tianxi shook his head and said, "I just want to persuade you to let the broken Angel Godship actively merge into the Fire Godship to reduce the consumption of energy and time. The longer it takes, the more the divinity of the Godship will be eroded. You know this better than I do."
"The angel godhood is a thing of the past after all. It is impossible to restore it. You should know that your enemy from back then would never leave behind such a problem!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue stared at Xu Tianxi. After a moment, she nodded heavily, "You're right. That person has long since cut off the possibility of the Angel God returning to the world. I should let go of my obsession. As long as the Angel God's light is still there, whether it is still the original Angel God or not is not that important..."
As soon as she finished speaking, golden flames began to appear on her body, burning fiercely and quickly spreading throughout her body. Qian Renxue looked back at Ye Guyi and said to Xu Tianxi:
"She's been in love with you for a long time. This is something she showed during her divine test. You don't have to reciprocate this feeling. But I ask you not to alienate her. This girl is actually very strong-willed."
Xu Tianxi's eyelids twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "She is my student, you don't need to tell her that."
"Well, I wish you all the best in the future, and I also thank the two true gods for their favor. They will not let you down."
Qian Renxue smiled, flames spread across her cheeks, and her whole body seemed to turn into a torch, flying into the closing shadow of the angel's throne.
Soon, the golden flames burned all over the angel's throne. The angel's throne emitted bright light, which quickly dissipated and turned into a rain of light all over the sky, falling towards the throne of the God of Fire.
Suddenly, the position of the God of Fire gained a noble and transcendent sacred aura, which then quickly merged with Ye Guyi's aura, transforming everything about her.
"Boom~!"
Under the throne, a pillar of light suddenly rose into the sky. Ye Guyi woke up under the light and stood up. The Holy Sword of the Angel and the Holy Sword of the God of Fire intersected, undergoing a strange fusion, and fell into his right hand.
In an instant, her soul power broke through the last layer of barriers and became a god at level 100. The soul power fluctuations released made Xu Tianxi feel a strong threat.
When the divine light faded away, Ye Guyi came with a sword in his hand, and behind him were eight divine rings that were superior to the first-level gods and lower than the supreme gods. Seven layers were blazing red, and the last layer was a sacred gold.
"Teacher, Senior Kagami, I succeeded."
The Holy God of Fire, Ye Guyi walked out with a brisk step, restrained his divinity, bowed to Xu Tianxi and the God of Fire, his face filled with endless joy.
"That's great. I'm very relieved." Xu Tianxi stepped forward and helped her up. The look in his eyes changed from surprise to understanding, and finally to joy.
Finally, his cultivation was successful, and all his hard work was worthwhile.
