Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

In five years, he progressed from the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm to the perfected realm.

This cultivation speed is actually not considered fast compared to the prodigies under his command.

The main reason is that Xia Zhaoyan's initial aptitude was indeed ordinary, but it has been gradually improving over the years.

He believed that one day his talent would be the best in all realms.

...

On this day, the Heavenly Punishment Army outside the city suddenly mobilized and sealed off the military camp within a radius of fifty kilometers.

Furthermore, Bai Yujing and the Heavenly Punishment Division have also joined in!

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of various forces.

Before everyone could recover from the Ling Wang incident, they were drawn to this commotion.

"This scene looks so familiar; I feel like I've seen this commotion somewhere before."

Someone stood in the void, muttering to themselves.

"Of course I'm familiar with it..."

The Xia emperor and others in the palace were also alarmed.

"It seems he's about to undergo another tribulation..."

Everyone was utterly shocked upon hearing this!

Another tribulation is coming up so soon? Next up is the Grandmaster realm!

Soon, everyone in the city knew that the Crown Prince was preparing to undergo a tribulation.

The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation of the Grandmaster Realm...

Many people can't help but get excited when they think about such a scene.

They had personally witnessed the Crown Prince's journey from the Innate Realm to the present day, through countless tribulations.

Standing above the military training ground, Xia Zhaoyan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Looks like this place is about to suffer another round of destruction!"

It wasn't that he didn't want to go to other places to undergo his tribulation; firstly, this place was the closest to the imperial city.

With the ancestors constantly watching over them, and their subordinates easily able to blockade them.

With a thought, the true essence within his body frantically challenged the shackles of his cultivation realm.

An unseen aura surged into the sky, and the next moment, dark clouds rolled in.

Soon the color of these dark clouds changed, from jet black to purplish-black.

The area not only covered the entire military camp, but also extended outwards.

Looking out, the calamity clouds in the sky covered an area of ​​nearly fifty kilometers.

"Tsk tsk... It seems I can't undergo my next tribulation here."

This time it covered an area of ​​fifty kilometers in radius, next time it will cover hundreds of kilometers.

This area has already reached the imperial city!

A spatial gate appeared in the ancestral land of the royal family, and many royal ancestors appeared in the void.

Emperor Xia hurriedly went to greet him!

Everyone here looked very serious, after all, this was the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation of the Grandmaster Realm.

As we all know, the heavenly tribulations become more and more powerful as time goes on, not to mention the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom!

The aftershocks of the tremors in the sky caused a noticeable tremor throughout the entire imperial city.

At that moment, a golden light rose from all around.

The city's protective formation is activated!

Click!

Purple lightning flashed through the clouds, and Xia Zhaoyan's eyes suddenly narrowed!

In that instant, he saw what was inside the clouds.

It was a thunder pool tens of kilometers in size, from which bolts of lightning came.

There was no time to ponder how the Thunder Pool was formed, because the first lightning tribulation had already descended.

The void trembled, and spiritual energy mixed with the air rolled and burned outwards.

Xia Zhaoyan was radiating golden light, and his physical body was now comparable to that of a Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

This first lightning tribulation couldn't break through his physical defenses at all.

boom!!

The figure in the air remained motionless, allowing the lightning to strike its body.

Even after the lightning collided with the golden light, the light emanating from Xia Zhaoyan's physical body remained intact.

The first lightning tribulation shattered into dozens of fragments, which fell in all directions!

The ground was covered with scorching black holes, emitting thick white smoke.

Many people were terrified while watching!

Just by standing in the imperial city, they could feel the immense power of the first heavenly tribulation.

Its power is comparable to the fifth lightning tribulation of a Grandmaster Realm expert at the sixth level of the Heavenly Tribulation.

"The Crown Prince's physical body is simply too powerful!"

...

"Unfortunately, I lack the talent for physical cultivation..."

If it were possible, who wouldn't want to practice both physical and mental cultivation?

Click!

The second heavenly tribulation descended, this time splitting into two slightly smaller heavenly tribulations.

However, Xia Zhaoyan's physical body still withstood it.

At this moment, the light emanating from the physical body finally seemed to change somewhat.

The third tribulation descended, making this a five-stage calamity.

It's still one big and four small ones!

boom!!

This time, the five lightning tribulations scattered like flowers from a celestial maiden.

However, the golden light emanating from Xia Zhaoyan's physical body also became extremely dim.

Consort Hua, standing some distance away, immediately clenched her fists, her expression one of extreme tension.

The Xia Emperor, upon returning here, offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Zhao'er's body isn't that fragile."

Sure enough, after the third lightning tribulation completely dissipated...

Xia Zhaoyan waved his hand, and hundreds of high-grade spirit crystals floated around him.

At this moment, he activated his divine sense, and the energy from these spirit crystals surged wildly into his body.

In just a few breaths, these spirit crystals turned into powder and scattered.

"Come on, now I'll show you the true power of my physical body."

Having said that, he had a sudden thought and completely relaxed his body.

In an instant, a crimson light shot straight into the sky.

The scorching heat was felt even by people a hundred miles away.

"What a powerful physical body!" Even the Great Ancestor couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ancient books record that those with strong physical bodies can manifest various extraordinary phenomena and supernatural powers."

"His unusual phenomenon is called 'blood and qi smoke'!"

"This mere aura of blood and smoke is enough to melt a Grandmaster-level cultivator!"

The Emperor Taizu's voice was not concealed, and many powerful figures in the inner city could hear it.

At that moment, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

The heavenly tribulation seemed to be enraged as well, and the fourth lightning tribulation descended immediately.

This time, the lightning tribulation split into nine paths.

They all descended upon Xia Zhaoyan, and his mind stirred.

The strange phenomenon of blood and smoke rising from above suddenly dispersed and rushed towards the lightning tribulation!

When the lightning collided with the blood and qi, the entire void shook violently.

A buzzing sound rang out.

The blood and qi are melting, and the lightning is dissipating!

Xia Zhaoyan stood steadily in the void, his vital energy flowing continuously.

Finally, the lightning overhead was completely extinguished.

"I never imagined that the extraordinary phenomenon arising from my physical body would possess such power!"

He had never tested it since the phenomenon was born.

The result was beyond our expectations!

"Then, let's try the next phenomenon."

The next moment, the physical body's energy and qi vanished.

Suddenly, an even more powerful aura surged into the sky.

Xia Zhaoyan's blood and qi rose from the top of his head, transforming into a thousand-foot-long divine dragon that roared with its head held high.

hold head high!!!

The dragon head let out a long roar towards the tribulation clouds in the sky!

At this moment, even the most clueless person would know that this was an even more powerful phenomenon than the previous beacon fires.

Emperor Taizu suddenly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the dragon formed from Xia Zhaoyan's blood and qi.

He said, word by word:

"Qi! Blood! Like! a! Dragon!"

At this moment, a monstrous wave surged within me!

Other members of the royal family, unaware of the implications, inquired with the founding emperor.

Emperor Taizu glanced around, then waved his hand, enveloping the surroundings in his true energy to prevent those outside from hearing what he was about to say.

"This is also a physical phenomenon, but it's much rarer than the previous one!"

"Each of the five immortals has developed this extraordinary phenomenon!"
