The God of Heavens

Chapter 378 Refining the Soul to Become a God or Achieving the Great Perfection of the Golden Core?

Having devoured the flesh and blood from the Immortal God King's tail, an extremely pure surge of primordial energy instantly flowed into Lin Yu's body.

All the acupoints and pores throughout the body felt as if they had received a timely rain.

Nourished by this power, Lin Yuzhou's flesh and blood began to pulsate with a lively energy, as if he were about to come alive.

Countless tiny primordial particles were in motion, and in an instant, Lin Yu felt his strength increase greatly.

His energy was fully restored, and his blood and qi were incredibly abundant. He couldn't help but stand up and let out a long roar that resounded throughout the heavens.

"The flesh and blood of this immortal god-king is truly the most exquisite treasure in the world. Refining this flesh and blood has greatly increased my lifespan, by at least three thousand years!"

Lin Yu stood atop the Thunder Pool, activated his acupoints, and threw a punch.

Boom!

The surrounding space was constantly collapsing. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared on his body; it was the lightning from the eighth tribulation.

These bolts of lightning continuously surged into his body, seeped into his acupoints, and even merged into his primordial spirit.

Crackling!

Within this punch, his primordial spirit also underwent earth-shattering changes.

The primordial spirit absorbed the true energy of thunder from eight tribulations, which rapidly evolved within the body.

Lin Yu's power surged once again!

The Primordial Thunder Pool originally contained thunder water from nine tribulations, resembling a "Heavenly Thunder Platform".

Lin Yu had never undergone eight tribulations of lightning before, but after devouring the flesh and blood of the Immortal God King, he instantly achieved the primordial spirit of eight tribulations of lightning, and his power surged!
"Not enough, nine tribulations of lightning, descend!"

Lin Yu let out a cold shout, and with a slight movement of his primordial spirit, the Thunder Pool roared and flashed with endless lightning, instantly engulfing him completely.

"So this is the mystery of the Nine Tribulations of Lightning."

The moment the Nine Tribulations Thunder Water merged into his primordial spirit, Lin Yu felt as if he had experienced countless reincarnations.

Time is stretched out infinitely, and the past and future are laid out before our eyes.

He saw memories from thousands of lifetimes, waking up and flowing like a revolving lantern, or like a grand dream.

The mystery of life and death, the cycle of reincarnation, was clearly revealed before his eyes.

When a baby is born, its soul is pure and flawless at its origin. As it experiences the myriad aspects of life, it gradually becomes rich and colorful.

When life comes to an end, all memories fade like light, settling into the river of time.

Only the most primal power can return to the world.

This is the fundamental nature of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Lin Yu truly felt that one day, when his lifespan was about to end, all his memories would flood back like a tide, and the power he had cultivated throughout his life would eventually return to its origin.

This cycle is unbreakable.

Even the greatest heroes will eventually return to the sea of ​​suffering and sleep eternally.

The true meaning of the nine tribulations of lightning lies not in the joy of creation, nor in refining the soul into a god, but in thoroughly understanding the cruelty of this fundamental cycle, feeling the oppressive terror of life and death, and thus developing a firm belief in breaking free from shackles and reaching the other shore.

"Heaven and earth... are truly a great cage."

The moment Lin Yu opened his eyes, he felt the pain of birth, aging, sickness, and death like never before.

In his eyes, all things in heaven and earth transformed into a sea of ​​bitterness, and this bitterness seeped into his soul, into every thought and every inch of his mind.

However, just as he refined the Nine Tribulation Lightning with his supreme will, all his suffering was suddenly released.

A feeling of blissful freedom arose spontaneously, and the world returned to clarity, as if the enlightenment just now was just an illusion.

"I see……"

Lin Yu suddenly realized something, and his primordial spirit shone brightly, surging with vitality, constantly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth as it moved, strengthening itself.

A vast and boundless feeling, like the sun shining brightly and pure and immaculate, spread through his heart.

The Realm of Pure Yang!

With a single thought, all his mental and physical desires vanished, transforming into pure, unadulterated primordial power.

The soul's thoughts were completely cleansed of their yin impurities, transforming into a pure yang body. Deep within the primordial spirit, a flesh-like substance was faintly taking shape.

At this moment, his power has doubled compared to the eight tribulations, and with every move he makes, he unleashes martial arts power comparable to the "flesh and blood regeneration" realm.

Having experienced the Nine Tribulations of Pure Yang, comprehended the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and grasped the fundamental cycle, he is now only one step away from the ultimate realm of Yang God.

At the same time, Lin Yu also realized that his pure Yang primordial spirit, myriad transformation physical body and primordial Qi magic power were closely combined and truly began to merge.

The primordial spirit is the primordial energy, and the primordial energy is the physical body. The physical body can also be transformed into the primordial spirit.

The three have been combined and are now indistinguishable.

"What's this? Is it the completion of the Golden Core stage?"

Lin Yu chuckled inwardly. He had a premonition that once the three were completely integrated, earth-shattering changes would occur.

Perhaps it is the Yang God, perhaps it is the wondrous realm of shattering the void, or perhaps it transcends both of these?
No one knows.

However, Lin Yu understood that although his soul had survived nine tribulations and reached its peak, his physical body, despite its many transformations, was still missing ninety-nine acupoints.

Once you understand the ninety-nine acupoints, you can achieve the supreme Dao.

To quickly unravel the mysteries of these ninety-nine states, the help of the ancient god-kings and their immortal monuments is needed.

The five ancient god-kings—the Immortal God-King, the Great Annihilation God-King, the Death God-King, the Gou Li God-King, and the Terror God-King—each sealed an immortal monument.

The terrifying God King was refined by Lin Yu, the immortal God King was suppressed by Lin Yu, the Gou Li God King was sealed in the Silent Heavenly Prison, and the immortal monument was in the hands of Lady Xu Yi. At present, Lin Yu can only obtain the Great Annihilation God King and the Death God King.

The location of the Great Annihilation God King is precisely within the memory of the Great Zhou Emperor, which Lin Yu created as a copy.

With a thought, Lin Yu sent out an illusionary gate, its light as clear as a mirror, where images flowed and finally settled on the figure of the Great Zhou Emperor.

The figure grew clearer and clearer, as if it were about to step out of the mirror at any moment.

Suddenly, the scene in the mirror changed abruptly!
A vast galaxy emerged, with the Great Zhou Emperor standing alone in the void. Deep within the billions of stars, a planet countless times larger than the Primordial Dragon's Graveyard floated silently.

Mysterious true energy lingers around the planet, keeping all prying eyes out.

"Phantom Shuttle!"

The Great Zhou Emperor unleashed his natal magic weapon, his body enveloped in dark light, tearing through the void and heading straight for the mysterious planet. However, the moment he traversed the void, the surroundings suddenly plunged into boundless darkness.

"Giggle giggle."

The eerie crowing of a rooster echoed through the void, and Lin Yu seemed to transform into the Great Zhou Emperor, personally experiencing this bizarre encounter.

In the crimson space, a majestic stone tablet slowly appeared, with a relief of a demon god with a human body, a bird's head, and a crimson crown like fire carved on it.

"The Great Annihilation God King!"

This is another immortal monument crafted by the Eternal Emperor, and the relief is the sealed Primordial God King himself!

The Great Annihilation God King's laughter was chilling. "Since you're here, I'll teach you a set of fist techniques!"

A profound thought entered the memory of the Great Zhou Emperor, and Lin Yu simultaneously perceived all the secrets of the "Great Annihilation God Fist".

Even more astonishingly, the Great Destroyer God King also prophesied: "Soon, a person wielding the Panhuang Life Sword will unify the Great Thousand Worlds, and you must go and assist him."

As the monument rotated, the space shattered layer by layer, and the Great Zhou Emperor fell into a dark tunnel. When he reappeared, he had returned to the chaotic void.

"Crack!"

The memory abruptly ended.

"Yang An, forget about it. I can help you brothers reunite."

After reading the memories of the Great Zhou Emperor, Lin Yu chuckled to himself. He activated the Primordial Dao Fruit, merged with the Dao, and began to deduce the location of the Great Annihilation God King.

Of the five ancient god-kings, two fell into Lin Yu's hands. With the help of this unbreakable connection, as well as the memories of the Great Zhou Emperor and the star charts, Lin Yu quickly deduced the location of the Great Annihilation God-King.

"Shh!"

The Primordial Heavenly Gate trembled slightly and instantly tore through layers of void.

Beyond the Milky Way.

Traveling through the time tunnel, the Heavenly Gate descends upon the center of the Milky Way, to a mysterious place that was once visited by the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"It seems the Great Annihilation God King hasn't moved yet."

Lin Yu's divine sense was lightning fast; he quickly sensed the unknown true energy permeating the planet ahead. He raised his hand and grabbed, directly piercing through a hidden space—

In an instant, a thick, blood-red mist spread out, blurring the lines between heaven and earth, making it impossible to distinguish up from down.

An eerie aura swirled in the void, mirroring the scene that the Great Zhou Emperor had encountered in his memory.

"Giggle giggle."

The familiar crowing of a rooster suddenly rang out, echoing through the blood-red space.

The majestic and immortal monument gradually took shape, with lifelike reliefs of a demon god with a human body and a bird's head, its blood-red crown like fire and its eyes like lightning.

"Interesting." Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, the Primordial Heavenly Gate faintly visible behind him. "Great Annihilation God King, how have you been?"

The reliefs on the monument suddenly came to life, their beaks opening and closing as they emitted a piercing laugh: "Hehehe, this time, the one who came is quite sensible."

The crimson space began to distort, and countless dark red runes appeared in the void. The aura of the Great Annihilation God King rose steadily, clearly a hundred times more serious than when he dealt with the Great Ancestor of Zhou.

Lin Yu, however, didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at the monument with great interest: "It seems you've broken quite a bit of the seal on the Eternal Emperor?"

"Hehe. You have good eyesight, kid." The Great Annihilation God King's wings slowly unfurled on the monument. "Now that you know I'm about to break free, why don't you retreat quickly?"

"Retreat?" Lin Yu suddenly laughed. "I'm here to send you off to reunite with the Immortal God King."

Before the words were finished, the Primordial Heavenly Gate burst open with a roar, and the vast suppressive power poured out like a celestial river, instantly freezing the entire blood-red space!
"not good!"

The Great Annihilation God King never expected that Lin Yu would be so decisive, taking action without warning.

He shuddered and let out a sharp "ooh ooh ooh" cry. He pushed the Great Annihilation God Fist to its limit, and several sharp energies, like heavenly blades, tore through the void and went straight for Lin Yu's vital points.

"Hmph, after being sealed away for so many years, you still dare to cause trouble!"

Lin Yu remained expressionless, and also raised his hand to throw a punch.
The force of the punch was like a celestial river surging backward, directly blasting the immortal monument away.

The violent aftershocks caused explosions throughout the entire monument space, shattering runes and creating large holes. However, the monument, as if by nature's creation, instantly repaired itself to its original state.

"Primordial Divine Fist!"

After punching away the monument of the Great Annihilation God King, Lin Yu took a step forward, causing the void to tremble and ripples to bloom into a flower about an acre in size.

He moved like lightning, instantly appearing in the center of the monument. Using his fist as a weapon, he unleashed the Primordial Divine Fist, striking directly at the Great Destroyer God King's true form, which was imprisoned by chains on the monument.

An immense force enveloped the entire Four Directions Monument, seemingly poised to shatter it with a single punch.

Just as the punch was about to land on the Great Destroyer God King, he was firmly bound by the chains on the monument, unable to dodge or move, and could only take the blow head-on.

His eyes suddenly widened, and the reddish-brown fleshy crown on his head trembled violently.

"Boundless and Limitless! Great Annihilation Divine Body!"

At this moment, the Great Destroyer God King unleashed his unparalleled divine power, grabbing and scooping with both fists, various divine powers arising from his hands, changing unpredictably.

Layer upon layer of power surged like a raging torrent, accumulating until it finally delivered a terrifying blow, forcefully intercepting Lin Yu's Primordial Divine Fist.

"Bang! Click!"

Under Lin Yu's brutal attack, the Great Annihilation God King's head was smashed to pieces, and many of his acupoints ruptured one after another, suffering a great loss.

The fist's intent surged, slicing through flesh and blood on the Great Annihilation God King's body, causing demonic blood to surge into the sky.

However, Lin Yu was not going to let him off the hook!

The divine fist, imbued with the true meaning of the primordial beginning, struck again, unleashing the Primordial Great Luo Seal.

They actually intend to seal away the entire Great Destroyer God King!
