Chapter 1289 The Earth Vein Dragon Successfully Survives Tribulation and Is Imprinted with a Sacred
"when……"
Chen Yang took out the Sun, Moon and Stars Greatsword and, together with the Earth Vein Dragon, underwent tribulation, slashing wildly at the thousand-foot-long thunder dragon.
However, they discovered that the thousand-foot-long thunder dragon was indestructible, being an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, and would instantly reform even if it was split open.
Despite the repeated blows from the thousand-foot-long thunder dragon, the earth vein dragon remained steadfast, its body smashing through countless mountain peaks and destroying countless mountains and rivers.
Finally, when the time limit for the tribulation was reached, the thousand-foot-long lightning dragon disappeared on its own.
It turns out that it's not necessary to defeat this thousand-foot-long lightning dragon, but rather that the lightning tribulation has a time limit, and as long as you persist for that time, the lightning tribulation will end on its own.
Of course, it's not impossible to overpower the lightning tribulation and destroy the thousand-foot-long lightning dragon, but only the most monstrous beings could do that.
The vast majority of cultivators undergoing tribulation are struck by lightning until they are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and they persevere until the tribulation ends, rather than suppressing the tribulation and causing it to end prematurely.
Throughout history, there have been very few extraordinary geniuses who could withstand the tribulation of lightning.
Regardless, the earth vein dragon survived the tribulation, accomplishing an incredible feat. However, having just survived the tribulation, its body was still very weak, and it collapsed onto the ground.
This is precisely the period of weakness following a tribulation.
If it weren't for Chen Yang as a protector, the wild beasts in the secret realm might have already attacked them in droves.
Streaks of lightning coalesced within the earth vein dragon's body. These were traces of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, equivalent to a stamp or seal, indicating that the earth vein dragon had been recognized by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
From now on, every time the ley line dragon grows, it will undergo a tribulation.
Each time one survives a tribulation, traces of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth are left within their body, known as Dao traces.
When these ordinary traces of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth accumulate, they will transform into a golden sacred mark.
Nine golden holy marks can be condensed into one purple-gold divine mark.
The nine purple-gold divine marks will transform into a black-gold immortal mark.
This is the path of growth for the Holy Spirit Body, just like the path of transformation for weapons and magical artifacts.
"Damn it, it actually survived. What incredible luck!" the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain muttered, looking quite disappointed, before plunging into the ground and disappearing.
Chen Yang then took out two drops of emerald green divine liquid and gave them to the earth vein dragon to help it heal its injuries as quickly as possible.
Boom boom!
Swallowing two drops of divine liquid is like consuming lightning tribulation liquid. The earth vein dragon's entire body radiates with energy, and the surging medicinal power instantly transforms into a mist that envelops its entire body.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the dragon scales that had been shattered on its body surface were regrowing at an extremely fast rate, one, two... countless scales.
Each newly grown scale is as big as an adult's palm, as if cast from divine metal, giving people a sense of sacredness and indestructibility.
Not only its scales, but also its claws, whiskers, horns, etc., have undergone a great transformation, making it look just like a real dragon at first glance.
Within its body, a golden holy mark has already condensed, further representing its transformation and growth.
This golden holy mark is extremely precious, like a golden divine chain that runs through his entire body.
Ouch!
Two drops of the divine liquid from the old Changbai Mountain ginseng were truly comparable in medicinal power to the Thunder Tribulation Liquid. After refining it, the earth vein dragon immediately became lively and vigorous. With a dragon roar, it shook the sky for hundreds of kilometers around, and even tigers were so frightened that their legs went weak.
Whoosh!
With a flick of its tail, the dragon soared into the sky, traversing through the clouds and mist.
It can dart down and plunge into the earth's veins, traversing underground.
This is truly flying and escaping through the earth!
Watching the little earth dragon having so much fun, Chen Yang looked at it with doting eyes, as if he were watching his own child grow up.
"What the hell are you doing, you damn dragon, chasing me?"
The old ginseng from Changbai Mountain, which was swimming peacefully in the underground dragon vein, suddenly discovered that a small earth dragon was chasing after it, baring its teeth and looking quite terrifying, which gave it a big fright.
"Who was it that just said it was a good chop, a wonderful chop, a chop that made me scream?" the earth vein dragon roared, transmitting its voice through divine thought.
It wasn't Chen Yang's divine sense transmitting the message, but rather a wisp of intelligence awakened within the earth vein dragon itself.
The biggest change this tribulation brought to the earth vein dragon was not the birth of a golden holy mark within its body, but rather the awakening of a sliver of intelligence within the earth vein dragon, causing it to begin transforming into a living being.
"I was just kidding, didn't you survive being struck by lightning?" the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain said, feeling wronged and speechless.
Originally, it traveled underground, and none of the creatures in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm could catch it. Even the original masters of the Dragon Pool Secret Realm, the Golden Dragon Clan, tried countless times to capture it, but failed.
Because it travels through the earth's veins, appearing and disappearing without a trace, other living beings have no way to deal with it.
However, when it encountered the Earth Vein Dragon, it met its nemesis.
Because the Earth Vein Dragon itself is formed from the Earth Vein, it moves even more smoothly through the Earth Vein than the Earth Vein itself.
Especially now that the Earth Vein Dragon has just undergone the baptism of lightning, its life level has been sublimated and leaped, making it even less of a match for it.
After traveling underground for only a short while, the Changbai Mountain Ginseng was caught by the earth vein dragon, which used its huge body to entangle the ginseng.
"Hehe, I'm not greedy. Give me two more drops of divine liquid, and I'll let you go." The leyline dragon chuckled mischievously.
It had just refined two drops of divine liquid and benefited immensely from them. It wanted to refine two more drops while they were still warm, believing that this would greatly enhance its own growth.
Having awakened its intelligence, it is now able to think of itself.
"Damn it, you dead dragon, do you have any shame? I've already offered you twelve drops of divine liquid, and you still want more?" the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain said angrily.
"Your twelve drops of divine liquid aren't for me, they're for my master. Hurry up and take out two drops of divine liquid, stop talking nonsense. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson," the earth vein dragon said domineeringly.
"Go to hell! I have no divine liquid, but you can take my life! Did you eat those two drops of divine liquid you just refined?" The old ginseng from Changbai Mountain also lost its temper.
Indeed, the divine elixir is extremely precious to it!
Every drop of divine elixir offered is a drain on one's own life force.
Whether you give it to me or not is not up to you.
The earth vein dragon was incredibly powerful. When soft methods failed, it resorted to hard ones. Its massive body suddenly contracted, instantly squeezing the Changbai Mountain ginseng into a sausage shape, thin and long.
If you squeeze as hard as you can, you'll definitely be able to get the divine liquid out.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
The old ginseng from Changbai Mountain was in excruciating pain, worse than being choked, and was almost squeezing out its own excrement.
It could also see that this little earth vein dragon was truly wicked and determined to trick it out of two drops of divine liquid. If it didn't give them to him, it would definitely be thoroughly humiliated.
puff!puff!
With no other option, the old Changbai Mountain ginseng had to reluctantly part with it, and then expelled two drops of its divine essence.
"Good boy! I'll let you off this time."
The earth vein dragon, with two drops of divine liquid in its mouth, strode away.
After rushing to the surface, it actually tried to return the two drops of divine liquid to Chen Yang.
Although it really wanted to refine those two drops of divine liquid, after some thought, it decided to return them to Chen Yang, who had just given it two drops.
This moved Chen Yang to tears. He never expected that the little earth dragon would be grateful after it awakened its intelligence.
Even the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain was slightly shocked, suddenly realizing that this little dragon wasn't so hateful after all, and that it still had some humanity.
"Keep it for yourself. I still have ten drops, that's enough for me," Chen Yang said with a smile, declining the Earth Vein Dragon's offer.
oooooooo!
The little earth vein dragon was flattered and let out a loud roar.
"You can have fun in the secret realm. I'm going back to my cave to cultivate. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely urgent," Chen Yang said to the earth vein dragon, then turned and went into the cave.
He is going into seclusion now and will not leave until he has condensed his elixir.
In fact, this seclusion will make condensing the core easy for him; it's practically a done deal.
He simply wanted to use half a pool of dragon marrow and ten drops of divine liquid to refine a complete and flawless Yuan Dan, in order to prepare for the Golden Core tribulation.
The Golden Elixir represents a leap and evolution in the level of life, which the ancients referred to as "celestial immortality."
The divine realm is referred to as the land immortals, practically earth immortals.
From the ground to the sky, isn't that a leap in the level of life?
The biggest difference between the Golden Core and the Divine Realm is that the essence, energy, and spirit are integrated into one, transforming into a Golden Core with an immortal aura.
Body refinement, Qi refinement, and spirit refinement correspond to the essence, Qi, and spirit of the human body, respectively. When these three aspects are refined to perfection and can be integrated into one, it is time to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Chen Yang's Xuanhuang Dao Body is at the half-step completion stage, possessing a supreme body.
His vigorous blood and energy are comparable to those of a golden elixir.
His divine sense also reached the Golden Core level, and the nine layers of his sea of consciousness were completely penetrated. He even attracted the power of thunder to temper the nine layers of his sea of consciousness, his divine sense, and his soul.
Therefore, he has cultivated himself to a state of near perfection in terms of essence, energy, and spirit.
He was absolutely confident that he had attained the highest level of the Golden Core realm.
Thus, in addition to the top three grades of Golden Core, he also wants to try his best to prove the Dao of Super Grade Golden Core, Saint Grade, God Grade, and even Immortal Grade.
It is said that even the most powerful Golden Core cultivator cannot defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, there are exceptions, namely the Super Grade Golden Core cultivator, who possesses the power to defeat a Golden Core cultivator.
The Saint-grade Golden Core is even weaker, only comparable to a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Divine Golden Core is capable of rivaling a true Nascent Soul cultivator.
Immortal-grade Golden Elixir can easily defeat ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Of course, there are different grades of Golden Core and Nascent Soul.
Even a Celestial-grade Golden Core can only defeat an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
The essence, energy, and spirit of the Golden Core are condensed into a Golden Core. After undergoing the baptism of lightning tribulation, it is recognized by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and can provide energy in an almost inexhaustible way. It can go for several years without eating or drinking and is fearless even when traveling in the universe.
Therefore, the Golden Elixir is the starting point for those who wish to travel in the universe.
As terrestrial deities, even breaking out of Earth's atmosphere is difficult for them.
This is the difference between the Divine Realm and the Golden Core Realm; they are not even on the same level in terms of life level.
Inside the Dragon Transformation Pool in the cave, Chen Yang sat cross-legged.
There wasn't much dragon marrow left; it wasn't even enough to submerge Chen Yang's buttocks.
However, it was enough for him to enjoy.
And he also has ten drops of divine liquid.
Whoohoo!
With each breath Chen Yang took, the dragon marrow in the Dragon Transformation Pool seemed to boil, bubbling and releasing white mist. This mist swirled around Chen Yang's body, quickly surrounding him in layers, like a giant white egg.
His pores were wide open, and the white mist formed from the dragon marrow would seep into his body through these pores.
Unlike the earth vein dragon, Chen Yang didn't gulp down drinks and become a big fat man in one go.
He sipped his wine slowly, using dragon marrow to temper his body and soul.
The greatest effect of this dragon marrow is to cleanse the marrow and refine the meridians, and it can even cleanse the soul.
After leaving the Ragnarok World, Chen Yang went through a series of battles. Although on the surface all his injuries seemed to have healed completely, as if nothing had happened, he still suffered some hidden injuries.
Some of his hidden injuries went unnoticed even by himself.
With the help of this small half-pool of dragon marrow, he intended to refine his physical body and soul to perfection.
Only in this way can the condensed Yuan Dan be complete and flawless.
Therefore, he doesn't need to rush. Slow and steady wins the race. Only by polishing his body and soul with patience and perseverance can he achieve the greatest results.
With each breath he took, the vital energy in the entire stone chamber stirred, churning and surging like a storm tide, crashing against the stone walls with deafening sounds.
At first, only the primordial energy within the stone chamber was stirred. Later, as he cultivated, his aura expanded outwards, causing even the primordial energy outside the mountain to become agitated, surging and turning into a huge funnel-shaped vortex that supported a towering cloud pillar.
The initial cloud storm was small, only covering the mountaintops.
However, as Chen Yang continued his cultivation, his aura grew increasingly vast, and the cloud and mist storm gradually expanded outwards.
One mile, two miles, three miles, ...
After six months, Chen Yang had completely refined the dragon marrow in the Dragon Transformation Pool, and the Yuan Qi storm that had enveloped the mountaintop had spread to most of the Dragon Pool Secret Realm.
The vital energy of almost the entire Dragon Pool Secret Realm was stirred up.
And he is the ruler of this world.
"Damn it, what is this guy trying to do? Is he trying to achieve the Golden Core stage here? He'll destroy this place!" Changbai Mountain Ginseng exclaimed anxiously.
It was evident from this enormous storm of primordial energy that if a lightning tribulation were to descend, it would be at least dozens of times more terrifying than the lightning tribulation of the earth vein dragon three months ago, and would destroy the entire Dragon Pool Secret Realm.
"Hey, who exactly is your master? How could he be so terrifying? Are you sure he's not from some immortal sect?" Changbai Mountain Ginseng asked the little dragon of the earth vein.
It couldn't fathom the depth of Chen Yang's abilities at all, so it could only consult the Earth Vein Dragon.
From the beginning, it tended to believe that Chen Yang was a member of the immortal sect, of the Golden Dragon clan. But Chen Yang never admitted it.
Normally, only immortal sects could give birth to such terrifying prodigies.
"What kind of bullshit immortal sects are these? My master is the king of the mortal world, the lord of Earth. Even the most outstanding talents from the immortal sects have no choice but to kneel before my master." The earth vein dragon praised Chen Yang highly.
"Bullshit! What an arrogant bastard. Once the people from the immortal sects come out, you'll know how terrifying they are. At that time, even you, a mere earth dragon, might be beaten to a pulp," the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain said disdainfully.
