Chapter 830: 739 Impact Unity (Part 2)

A massive thunderhead surged in the high skies, flashing with lightning, and numerous silver-colored Thunder Snakes could be seen ceaselessly slithering through the clouds.

The thunderclouds swelled like the surging tide, tumbling and rapidly expanding in area.

The emergence of the thunderclouds cast darkness over a vast region, with an oppressive black mass looming, instilling a feeling of suppression.

A peal of thunder erupted, and a thick silver lightning bolt sliced down, aiming straight for Shen Long.

From the ground, a great expanse of yellow fog welled up, shrouding a hundred li around.

Silver lightning pierced into the sea of yellow fog, vanishing into it without a trace, as if swallowed by the vast ocean without a sound.

Quickly following, the second heavenly tribulation fell, succeeded by the third, and the fourth...

Flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder roared as thick silver bolts of lightning struck down one after another, and slowly, the yellow sea of fog began to scatter.

After half an hour, the thundercloud was still over a hundred zhang in size.

With the yellow sea of fog now vanished, a thousand li around had turned to ruins, shrouded in dust and ash.

Shen Long stood in the center of a giant pit billowing black smoke, with seven orbs of dimming spiritual light hovering above his head, a silver-white light curtain enveloping his entire body.

The Seven Stars Beads, crafted from seven rank-six Absorbing Thunder Pearls, each a middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, are capable of weakening the power of the Thunder Method.

This set of treasures was personally refined by Chu Buyu, specially for Shen Long to use during his tribulation transcendence.

After nine more heavenly tribulations, Shen Long would be able to ascend to the Body Integration Realm.

The thunderclouds roiled and surged, and a huge silver heavenly tribulation bolt struck, hitting the silver light curtain directly, engulfing it in silver lightning.

Without the light dispersing, an even thicker silver lightning bolt fell, the brilliance growing ever more blinding.

Quickly, the third and fourth heavenly tribulations followed in succession.

After the seventh heavenly tribulation, the churning thundercloud burst forth with arcs of electricity in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and white—eight various colors.

"Eight-Colored Divine Lightning!" Shen Long cried out in alarm, the silver light curtain growing dim and lifeless.

He was undergoing a tribulation for the Unity Realm and had invoked two strands of Eight-Colored Divine Lightning, which was exceedingly rare. Most Void Refinement Cultivators facing tribulation would only invoke Six-Colored Divine Lightning, with a few stirring Seven-Colored Divine Lightning.

Summoning Eight-Colored Divine Lightning was exceedingly rare in the annals of the Cultivation Realm—a rare occurrence among rare occurrences.

Shen Long had no time to ponder further; a thick bolt of Eight-Colored Lightning tore down, racing straight for him.

The Eight-Colored Lightning was like an enormous spear, carrying an apocalyptic force as it struck the silver light curtain.

The silver light curtain, flimsy as paper, instantly shattered, and Shen Long deployed five Banner Flags of varying colors that circled around him before condensing into a solid five-colored light curtain.

The middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure Five Element Banner—a complete set, also refined by Chu Buyu.

That wasn’t the end of it, as Shen Long slapped a Golden Armor Elemental Talisman onto himself; with a flash of gold, a thick Golden Battle Armor materialized, guarding his entire body.

The Eight-Colored Lightning Spear hit the five-colored light curtain, which immediately caved in, its spiritual light dimming.

The Eight-Colored Lightning Spear exploded, transforming into a massive orb of Eight-Colored Lightning that swallowed Shen Long’s silhouette.

The Eight-Colored Thundercloud overhead churned, and all the Thunder Snakes converged to form a thick-waisted Eight-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon, emitting a world-shattering aura as it plunged down from the sky.

The Eight-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon hadn’t even come within a hundred zhang of Shen Long when a resounding dragon’s roar echoed through earth and sky, and a blue sonic wave swept out, scorching the body of the Thunder Flood Dragon.

The massive form of the Eight-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon shuddered, exploding into a colossal orb of Eight-Colored Lightning that shot towards the heaven, releasing a powerful shockwave that engulfed ten thousand li in dust.

After a while, the Eight-Colored Lightning dissipated, and the dust settled.

Shen Long stood on the black-smoulder ground with a pair of immense golden wings on his back, his body covered in golden lightning, as though he bathed in the tempest.

The defense of the seventh rank talisman, the Golden Armor Elemental Talisman, was strong; it absorbed most of the force of the Eight-Colored Divine Lightning. Merged with Shen Peng, Shen Long smoothly survived the Seventy-Nine Heavenly Tribulations. Luckily there were only two strains of Eight-Colored Divine Lightning; any more, and Shen Long would definitely have been gravely injured.

A brilliant spiritual light burst forth from Shen Long’s body as Shen Peng separated from him.

Shen Long ascended to the Body Integration Realm, and Shen Peng received nourishment from the ascension, advancing from the middle stage to the late stage of Void Refinement.

Without Shen Long’s ascension, Shen Peng would have struggled for thousands of years to possibly advance to the Void Refinement Late Stage.

"Congratulations, Master, for advancing to the Unity Realm. I, too, shall benefit from this."

Shen Peng spoke to congratulate, his face full of joy.

Shen Long exhaled a long breath of turbid air, feeling strength fill his entire body.

"So this is the Unity Realm!"

Shen Long muttered to himself.

"Congratulations, Master, on ascending to the Unity Realm. The seventh layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower has opened. Would you like to go and see?"

Shen Yuling’s voice came from the sky.

With a thought, Shen Long appeared in a greyish space, pitch-black all around, with heavy Yin Qi surging into the sky and an occasional chilly wind blowing through.

The seventh layer had plains and peaks, devoid of living creatures; the Yin Qi was very dense.

"The Yin Qi is so strong here! Shen Jiu will definitely like this place."

Shen Long said with a smile. This layer was suitable for planting Yin attribute spiritual herbs and medicines, making it a fitting residence for Shen Jiu.

He returned to the fourth layer and, together with Shen Lang and Shen Jiu, moved to the seventh layer and instructed, "Plant Yin attribute spirit fruit trees and spiritual medicines. Shen Jiu, you shall reside here from now on!"

"Thank you, Master! I really like the dense Yin Qi here."

Shen Jiu thanked him repeatedly, his expression excited.

"We don’t have many Yin attribute spiritual herbs and spirit fruits on hand; we can start by building a Spirit Medicine Garden."

Shen Lang said.

Shen Long nodded, gave a few reminders, then exited the Myriad Beasts Tower and appeared before Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu saw that Shen Long was safe and sound, and she breathed a sigh of relief, her face lighting up with joy, "Husband has ascended to the Unity Realm! That’s wonderful."

"It was hard on you, wife, to guard me here. I shall retreat to meditate for a while and leave this place after some time."

Shen Long said gravely.

"That’s the safest course. Speaking of which, we have been on the Thunder Continent for nearly ten thousand years, and it’s about time to return."

Chu Buyu said.

Shen Long nodded, chatted casually for a few moments, walked into a simple stone chamber, sat down cross-legged, and began meditating and adjusting his breath.

In the Five Lights Mountain Range, within a secluded estate, Wu Yuzhu was reporting to Mo Sen.

"What? A seventh-rank Thunder Roc? Are you certain?"

Mo Sen frowned and spoke.

"Completely certain. However, the creature appeared on the Yaksha Clan’s territory, unlike the Human Cultivator who fled into the Fallen Immortal Ruins, who had a sixth-rank Thunder Roc."

Wu Yuzhu said.

"Is there a possibility that this person has ascended to the Unity Realm, and the Thunder Roc has also advanced to the seventh rank? Or perhaps this person was found by other high rank cultivators, and they gave away the sixth-rank Thunder Roc?"

Mo Sen speculated.

"That’s possible. Should we withdraw our forces from the Fallen Immortal Ruins? The losses are too great, and many powers are targeting us."

Wu Yuzhu said.

The Five Lights Clan had sent many of its members into the Fallen Immortal Ruins to search for Shen Long, suffering heavy casualties, not to mention that other powers were targeting the Five Lights Sect Cultivators both openly and covertly.

"Let’s withdraw for now! Entering the Fallen Immortal Ruins is easy, but leaving alive is difficult."

Mo Sen said solemnly.

"Yes, Clan Leader."

Wu Yuzhu agreed.
