Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Gu Feng shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with solemnity and amazement, and slowly began to explain:

"It's only half done."

One sentence stunned everyone, their faces full of confusion. What? There's a saying that a Celestial King is only half-realized?

Gu Feng gazed at the sky and patiently explained in detail:

"A true Immortal King must have both his physical body and his primordial spirit reach the Immortal King level; neither can be lacking."

"Becoming a Celestial King in the physical body is only the foundation; the transformation of the primordial spirit is the core of proving the Dao of the Celestial King, and it is also the most difficult and dangerous step."

"Countless geniuses and powerful figures in the past have been stuck at the primordial spirit stage for their entire lives."

He paused, then continued:

"Just like the Ten Fiends of the Immortal Ancient Era, each of them possesses extraordinary racial talents and terrifying foundations. Among them are many outstanding individuals who, relying on their own amazing talents and unique racial advantages, have forcibly tempered themselves into unparalleled Immortal King bodies, with physical strength completely comparable to that of a formal Immortal King."

"But their primordial spirits had never undergone the baptism of heavenly tribulation, so they had not completed the transformation into immortal kings and were ultimately unable to take the final step."

"Even so, with just the body of a Celestial King, he has already roamed the world freely, making him an invincible existence below the Celestial King level."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood, their faces filled with envy, and they couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"The Ten Fiends are truly blessed by nature. Their innate resources far surpass those of other races. Just one Immortal King's body is enough to make them invincible in this world. It's outrageous!"

Black Emperor and Rogue Dragon were so envious their eyes turned red. "Damn it, I'm so envious. I wish I had the same racial talent advantage."

The baby dragon nodded its little head emphatically, looking like it deeply understood, its adorable appearance endearing.

"Yeah, me too."

Black Emperor and Rogue Dragon immediately turned to look at it, sizing it up and down, their faces full of sour envy.

"What are you 'humming' about? Stop pretending!"

"Your racial foundation is terrifyingly strong, your bloodline is no less than that of the Ten Fiends, and in terms of talent, you are more outrageous than anyone else, yet you still dare to say that."

Upon hearing this, the baby dragon chuckled, swayed its little body, and waved its hand dismissively.

"Hey, I'm just agreeing with you guys so you won't feel awkward with no one to talk to. Besides, I don't care about racial advantages or bloodline heritage. I have no interest in those things. Self-cultivation is the only right path."

Upon hearing these pretentious words, Black Emperor and Rogue Dragon's lips twitched instantly, they gritted their teeth, and were speechless.

"Good grief, you've really shown off!"

"He's clearly incredibly talented, yet he acts like he doesn't care at all. It's infuriating!"

At this moment, Feng Xi chuckled softly, glancing at the discomfitured Black Emperor, her tone tinged with amusement:

"Little Black, how dare you envy others?"

"Since childhood, you have drunk the water of the Immortal Pool, slept in the Spring of Creation, and consumed countless rare and precious materials every day. The resources you have are far superior to those of many Great Emperors in terms of cultivation conditions."

Upon hearing this, everyone around nodded emphatically, their faces full of agreement.

"Yeah, you have the nerve to say you envy others."

Indeed, the Black Emperor, backed by Qin Ming, a top-tier emperor, and spending most of his time in the Heavenly Court, was exceptionally pampered by the two powerful figures, Jiang Hao and Qin Ming.

From childhood to adulthood, he has enjoyed the most top-tier resources in the Origin Realm, and his treatment is so terrifying that it makes countless imperial sons and emperors envious.

When the Black Emperor's scheme was exposed, he chuckled foolishly twice, puffed out his chest, and looked smug.

"Hehe, I am the number one divine beast in the Heavenly Court! My status speaks for itself, so I can't let my reputation fall short! Throughout my life, on the path of cultivation, I, the Black Emperor, have never been inferior to anyone!"

Seeing this, everyone turned their heads away, too lazy to pay attention. No one could match the black dog's shamelessness.

Everyone continued to watch Jiang Hao in the sky. High above, Jiang Hao felt his flawless, eternally immortal body as a Celestial King, his eyes filled with a satisfied smile.

"Is this the physical body of a Celestial King? It is indeed powerful. Now I truly feel that it is beyond the reach of heaven and earth."

Jiang Hao now felt more powerful than ever before, as if he were immortal and indestructible!

But Jiang Hao knew perfectly well that the real show was only just beginning.

The physical body of a Celestial King is merely the foundation; the transformation of the primordial spirit is the key to ascending to the Celestial King realm and forging the Celestial King's Dao Fruit.

Moreover, after obtaining the Immortal King Dao Fruit, one will possess a special ability—True Name Sensing!

Once one becomes a true Immortal King, throughout the heavens, whenever a living being recites or mentions one's true name, even if they are separated by thousands of miles, the Immortal King can instantly sense it.

It can even remotely induce celestial phenomena, observe the other party's location, and discern their cause and effect; its mysteries are boundless and its uses limitless.

More importantly, the Immortal King's primordial spirit possesses true immortality and indestructibility.

This is also the fundamental reason why Celestial Kings are extremely difficult to kill.

In a clash between the two sides, unless there is an absolute and overwhelming difference in strength, even if one manages to trap a Celestial King, it would be difficult to completely annihilate him.

The primordial spirit of the Immortal King is immortal and eternal, enduring the erosion of time. Even if the Daoist arts perish, it can slowly be reborn and return.

"Compared to a true immortal, a celestial king is indeed considered to have ascended to a higher dimension; the difference in their levels of life is too great."

Jiang Hao calmed his mind, focused his spirit, and urged his primordial spirit to soar into the sky.

This is a miniature version of Jiang Hao. The primordial spirit Jiang Hao opened his eyes, his divine light shining brightly, and beckoned to the heavenly tribulation.

At this moment, the silent heavenly tribulation suddenly erupted in fury!

The previous Great Dao Judgment was merely a prelude to tempering the physical body.

The ultimate test targeting the primordial spirit has finally arrived!

Deep within the heavens, a pale, profound, and terrifying Dao Eye, overlooking all paths, slowly opened.

This is the core of the Supreme Immortal King Tribulation, the Eye of Judgment formed from the rules of heaven and earth, created specifically to destroy the primordial spirit of an Immortal King!

The endless, terrifying power of the Great Dao's destruction poured down through the Dao Eye, precisely washing away Jiang Hao's primordial spirit.

Click!

Even though Jiang Hao's primordial spirit foundation was incredibly profound, it still instantly cracked with fine lines under the impact of such an extremely terrifying heavenly tribulation source, and was on the verge of collapse!

"Wow, you've got some skills!"

The pain of the soul being torn apart is a thousand times greater than that of the physical body, and it is unforgettable!

But Jiang Hao was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited. The transformation of a true Immortal King's primordial spirit was so dangerous and of such high quality!

"That's how it should be, that's what makes this tribulation meaningful, let it nourish my growth!"

Only this level of ultimate tempering can completely cleanse the impurities of the primordial spirit and forge a truly immortal and indestructible primordial spirit!

The more dangerous the heavenly tribulation, the more terrifying the harvest. Countless, all-encompassing Dao runes surged wildly into the primordial spirit.

Countless laws, myriad principles, and the very origin of heaven and earth layered upon each other, constantly washing over, refining, and reshaping Jiang Hao's primordial spirit.

The Dao Eye continuously launches attacks, and Jiang Hao reassembles himself again, at which point the Dao Eye helps him forge the weapon.

Smelting, recombining, sublimation!

Round after round of extreme tempering, endlessly, refining the foundation of the primordial spirit in all aspects!

Jiang Hao felt his primordial spirit being frantically filled and nourished by the Great Dao of the entire world.

Moreover, this Immortal King Tribulation is quite unique. After all, tribulations are meant to test those who undergo them, and Jiang Hao's Immortal King Tribulation is special because it has never appeared before. The Great Dao of the Heavens also wants to see where Jiang Hao's limits are.

If you dare to take on the responsibility, I dare to give you the support; however much you can bear, I will provide!

Seeing this, Jiang Hao's mind burned with fervor and his fighting spirit was at its peak; he showed no sign of backing down!

"Bring it all in, pour it all in!"

How could we possibly let such an opportunity slip by? We had to seize it, even if it meant being filled to the brim.

Then a strange scene unfolded: one poured all its energy into frantically infusing the essence of the Great Dao, while the other opened up and frantically absorbed and refined it!

Soon, a boundless and vast ocean of Dao runes had formed around Jiang Hao's primordial spirit!

Countless Dao patterns rose and fell, the principles of law resounded, and the Daoist charm was overwhelming!

Below, Immortal King Gu Feng gazed at the terrifying sea of ​​runes, unable to help but gasp, his pupils shrinking, his face filled with shock.

"This is terrifying... This scene of primordial spirit tempering far surpasses what I experienced back then. How strong will Fellow Daoist Jiang's primordial spirit be after this tribulation?"

"If I were to be subjected to such a heavenly tribulation, I wouldn't last even a moment. My primordial spirit would be instantly shattered by the endless laws of the Dao, and I would perish!"

The difference between the two sides is obvious at a glance!

Above the heavens, the Heavenly Tribulation Eye continuously poured out its essence, exhausting all its Great Dao reserves to continuously temper Jiang Hao's primordial spirit.

In the end, the Supreme Eye of Dao had completely exhausted all its reserves and had no strength left.

This extremely intense and dual-stage refinement has come to a complete end!

Boom!

In an instant, boundless, dazzling, and supreme golden divine light erupted from Jiang Hao's primordial spirit!

A dazzling divine light tore through the clouds, pierced the void, dispelled all darkness and gloom, shook the heavens and earth, and terrified all the gods!

Jiang Hao's primordial spirit has undergone a complete transformation and reached perfection, and his physical body has reached the pinnacle of Immortal King! Primordial Spirit Immortal King at its peak!

Double success, reaching the summit on both fronts!

At this moment, all the myriad paths of heaven and earth resounded, auspicious energy surged from all directions, and the great Daos of the heavens trembled in unison, taking the initiative to celebrate!

The wind, thunder, Dao, and laws resonated, and the whole world cheered, as if witnessing the birth of an unparalleled immortal king!

All paths bow down, and all the heavens offer their congratulations!

The Heavenly Emperor's Calendar: 260,000 years!

Jiang Hao has survived the unprecedented Immortal King Tribulation, achieving perfection in both his physical body and primordial spirit, and successfully ascended to the Immortal King realm!

And with just one step, one directly attains the supreme status of Immortal King!
