Buzz, buzz, buzz!
As Ye Lin circulated the Foundation Establishment chapter of the 《Origin Unity Art》 in his body, a massive amount of soul power rapidly surged from the Soaring Fairy Visualization Chart for him to refine.
As he continuously refined and absorbed this pure soul power, golden leaves slowly grew one after another on the golden branch of the Dao seed tree that represented the soul.
Once these golden leaves grew, they all directed their soul power toward the scroll of the Sea of Divine Souls at the very top.
Time flew, and more than ten days passed. With the assistance of various buffs, Ye Lin finally completely filled up the soul power required for the Golden Core Stage Taboo-grade breakthrough.
After the Sea of Divine Souls was filled, he immediately began to refine a massive amount of spirit stones without pause to fill his dantian and the scroll representing the Sea of Spiritual Power.
Because his dantian grew daily, his Sea of Spiritual Power was far more vast than his Sea of Divine Souls and Sea of Blood Qi.
Thus, it took him nearly a month to fully fill the spiritual power required for the Golden Core Stage Taboo-grade breakthrough.
“Boom!”
Once his soul, spiritual power, and blood qi were filled to their absolute limits, the Golden Core chapter of the 《Origin Unity Art》 in his right eye finally unlocked.
Since this cultivation method came with max-level proficiency, he completely mastered it after reading through the contents just once.
“It's time to break through to the Golden Core Stage!” Taking a deep breath, Ye Lin did not hesitate to circulate the Golden Core chapter of his cultivation method, beginning to refine the Power of the Moon and the Power of the Sun.
Crack, crack, crack!
The two special powers tried to make a final struggle, but unfortunately, Ye Lin was invincible inside the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda.
Thus, without any surprises, the two special powers were quickly and thoroughly suppressed by him.
After more than two months of refinement and absorption, the two special powers transformed into the two rules of solar and lunar, intertwining with each other before merging into the Yin-Yang Dao foundation in his dantian, which resembled a pillar that reached the heavens.
When the solar and lunar rules merged, the heaven-reaching pillar was rapidly condensed, finally transforming directly into a black-and-white desolate star.
Different regions of this desolate star were occupied by his Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Five Elements Spiritual Roots, as well as his Sword Spiritual Root, Thunder Spiritual Root, and Darkness Spiritual Root.
At this moment, on the star, there were thousands of miles of scorched earth, a surging ocean, towering mountains, a sword intent forbidden zone, a rolling sea of thunder, and a bottomless place of darkness. At the very center, there was even a mysterious Chaos forbidden zone.
[Ding! It is detected that the player is about to condense a Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Do you choose to undergo the Taboo Tribulation?
If you survive it, your Heavenly Dao Golden Core will take a step further and become a Great Dao Golden Core.
If you fail, your body will perish and your Dao will vanish... Since your pre-requisite quest evaluation is at the Perfect grade, you are 100% guaranteed to survive the Taboo Tribulation.
The player may also directly choose to condense a Heavenly Dao Golden Core to break through their cultivation.]
As the Dao foundation in his body transformed into a desolate star, the game notification suddenly rang in Ye Lin's ears.
“I need to find an uninhabited place to undergo the tribulation first,” Ye Lin murmured to himself. With a single thought, he immediately exited the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda.
Returning to his academy cave dwelling, he hid his aura without hesitation and activated 【Forced Swap】.
Each time, he could swap positions with the air dozens of li away. Thus, in just a few breaths, he had left Tianqi City.
After arriving atop an uninhabited, remote mountain, he re-entered the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda.
“I choose to undergo the Taboo Tribulation.” Arriving at the Sovereign Heaven dojo, he sat cross-legged and immediately muttered in his heart.
[Ding! The Destruction Tribulation is coming. Please be prepared, player.]
As the game notification faded, streaks of reddish-black lightning emitting a terrifying aura suddenly appeared in the clear, cloudless sky outside.
The moment these lightning bolts appeared, the mountains, rivers, and trees within a hundred-li radius were instantly crushed into fine powder by the terrifying aura radiating from the lightning.
Rumble!
The three reddish-black lightning bolts that appeared out of thin air instantly locked onto their target the moment they materialized, then shot into the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda with a series of whooshes.
The first bolt was named Body Severing.
The second bolt was named Soul Extinction.
The third bolt was named Spirit Obliteration.
An ordinary tribulation would, at most, cause a cultivator's body to perish and their Dao to vanish. Even if a cultivator fell under the Nine Heavens Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao, there was still a possibility of reincarnation.
But this Taboo Tribulation was aimed directly at completely erasing all traces of a living being's existence from three aspects: physical body, soul, and true spirit.
However, no matter how powerful this Taboo Tribulation was, it was ultimately only at the Golden Core Stage. Setting aside the fact that Ye Lin was protected by the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda, a quasi-Dao-grade supreme treasure—
—just the fact that his pre-requisite quest evaluation had reached the Perfect grade, ensuring a 100% breakthrough, meant that this tribulation could not harm him in the slightest.
“It just so happens that I have condensed the Law of the Thunder Path. Such a powerful Taboo Tribulation must be fused into my Law of the Thunder Path.”
Watching the three Taboo Tribulation bolts fly toward him at lightning speed, Ye Lin directly circulated the Golden Core chapter of his cultivation method to absorb them all into his dantian for storage.
If other mighty figures were to witness this scene, they would definitely be so shocked that they would be rendered speechless.
Even supreme geniuses would take every precaution and be extremely cautious when facing a Taboo Tribulation, not daring to make close contact with it at all.
Yet this kid was something else, directly drawing the Taboo Tribulation into his dantian as if it were a treasure!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The three Taboo Tribulation bolts that entered Ye Lin's dantian were also extremely bewildered. Their inherent will was to destroy everything about Ye Lin.
Yet now, they were uncontrollably forced to acknowledge Ye Lin as their master and merge with his Law of the Thunder Path. What the hell was going on?
They resisted frantically, trying to execute the will in their minds.
Unfortunately, a supreme power acted like a ruthless, giant hand, crushing and blending them into his Law of the Thunder Path.
Boom, boom, boom!
With the integration of the three Taboo Tribulation bolts, the origin of Ye Lin's Law of the Thunder Path received a massive boost. Along with it, the foundation of his Chaos Physique and Chaos Spiritual Root also improved significantly.
Once the three tribulation bolts were completely fused into the sea of thunder within the desolate star, the three scrolls on the Dao seed tree also began to shake violently.
Immediately after, a massive backfeeding of blood qi, soul power, and spiritual power instantly began.
[Ding! It is detected that the player is undergoing blood qi backfeeding. The backfeeding effect is accumulating a hundredfold.]
At this moment, another game notification rang in his ears.
Following this notification, a massive amount of blood qi, soul power, and spiritual power began to pour frantically into his body.
And at this moment, his cultivation realm began to skyrocket.
First Layer of the Golden Core Stage!
...
Third Layer of the Golden Core Stage!
...
Fifth Layer of the Golden Core Stage!
...
Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Stage!
In less than fifteen minutes, his cultivation skyrocketed from the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment all the way to the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Stage.
But all of this was merely the beginning. Even after breaking through to the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Stage, the backfeeding of his blood qi, soul power, and spiritual power was still frantically increasing.
