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

The Emperor Taizu's words instantly brightened everyone's eyes.

"Ancestor, does that mean Zhao Yan can reach the Human Immortal Realm?"

Someone in the royal family couldn't wait to ask, because the Immortal cultivator was just too important.

"Even without physical supernatural powers, I firmly believe he can become an unparalleled immortal!"

Xia Wenwu shook his head and said, "Not to mention he developed a physical supernatural ability!"

"Throughout history, only five powerful Human Immortals have explicitly recorded the development of the dragon-like qi and blood phenomenon in that ancient book!"

"Zhao'er, you're now sixth!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and dispelled the surrounding protective barrier.

At this moment, the people outside were still looking up, their expressions filled with shock.

The thousand-foot-long blood-red divine dragon exuded such oppressive power that even those at the Celestial Realm felt uncomfortable.

This isn't an intimidating aura based on cultivation level!

This comes from physical evolution, much like the oppressive aura that comes from the bloodline of the demon race.

Rumble!!

The heavenly tribulation in the sky seemed to have been provoked once again!

A bolt of lightning, thicker than all the previous lightning bolts combined, appeared.

Around it, there were also fifteen small lightning bolts.

Sizzle!!

Like the sound of metal sliding against metal, the lightning tribulation descended with an unstoppable momentum.

The Qi and Blood Divine Dragon was like a real living being; with a flick of its tail, its head opened its large mouth.

A red vortex appeared in its mouth, and it swallowed up the entire fifth lightning tribulation.

From the outside, the Qi and Blood Divine Dragon's mouth appeared to be tightly closed.

Electric currents surged all over his body, and the surrounding air was scorched and ignited.

Suddenly, it opened its mouth wide and roared again at the calamity clouds above.

hold head high! !

It's as if he's showing off, saying that your tribulation lightning is useless against me!

"So, the fifth tribulation has been overcome just like that?"

"That's a heavenly tribulation composed of more than a dozen lightning strikes!"

Outside, the Dharma Image Realm murmured to itself!

The power of that lightning tribulation just now made him feel a chill in his heart!

And just like that, it was a breeze!

"I never imagined that the phenomenon of physical rebirth would possess such power!"

Xia Zhaoyan felt his physical body at this moment.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Blood Dragon seems to have devoured the lightning tribulation.

However, the essence left behind after it refined the lightning tribulation was fed back.

This further enhanced his physical strength.

Previously, people believed that physical strength was only reflected in defense and attack.

But no one has ever said that as the physical body becomes stronger, strange phenomena of qi and blood will be born.

Boom!!

The clouds of calamity emitted a deafening roar!

Next, the sixth and seventh obstacles were also successfully overcome.

The outside world has become numb.

They had never heard of anyone being able to survive the first seven tribulations of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation solely through physical extraordinary abilities.

Not to mention, they've never seen anything like it before. Today's tribulation has truly opened the eyes of everyone in the imperial city.

"His physical body cannot withstand the eighth lightning tribulation!"

The members of the royal family nodded; it was clear to everyone.

Xia Zhaoyan was very satisfied at this moment.

I am already very satisfied that I have been able to pass through so many realms using only my physical body.

With a thought, the strange phenomena of qi and blood in the physical body were immediately withdrawn.

He pulled out another handful of spirit crystals and instantly drained their energy.

Then a roar filled the sky, accompanied by a burst of purple-gold light.

The eighth tribulation lightning descended.

Xia Zhaoyan made his move this time, his physical body radiating light as his internal energy cultivation technique circulated.

He thrust out his right fist, striking the descending lightning tribulation.

A fist imprint thousands of feet in size shot into the sky, and he rode the fist imprint to crash into the lightning tribulation.

boom!!

The void trembled, and light burst forth!

This place has become an ocean of light, with various fragments of lightning scattered everywhere.

At that moment, a figure flew backward out of the ocean of light.

It then stood firmly in the air.

The light in the air dissipated the next moment, and the figure of the eighth lightning tribulation disappeared.

"Good! Double Strike of the Dharma Body! Even those in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm cannot match the power of Zhao'er's attack!"

The royal family was filled with excitement and shock; Xia Zhaoyan's combat prowess was simply too monstrous.

Everyone can only attribute it to the result of his dual cultivation of body and spirit.

The sky and earth began to change color, and the calamity clouds, stretching for tens of kilometers, churned violently.

Streaks of lightning roamed freely within the tribulation clouds, as if eager to teach those below a lesson.

"I don't pride myself on my fighting prowess; I pride myself on my defense."

Xia Zhaoyan sneered, then waved his hand, and the Qiankun Cauldron, which had been nurtured within his body, instantly floated above his head.

As soon as it appeared, it shone with a golden-bronze light.

The appearance of the Qiankun Cauldron instantly caused a sensation among the outside world.

No one will forget this magical artifact; even now, some people can't help but reveal a greedy look.

Rumble!!

Thirty-six bolts of lightning fell from the sky, and as far as the eye could see, it seemed as if the sky was filled with lightning.

Xia Zhaoyan pointed to the magic weapon.

Suddenly, the Qiankun Cauldron grew larger, instantly covering the entire training ground.

It swallowed all thirty-six lightning tribulations.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan's hands moved rapidly, and several hand seals emerged from his palms and merged into the magic weapon.

The Qiankun Cauldron began to shake violently, as if something was being suppressed inside.

After a while, the shaking gradually stopped.

Xia Zhaoyan's face was pale at this moment, and he shook his head inwardly.

"Every time I fully activate a primordial treasure that hasn't been completely refined, it leaves me utterly exhausted!"

"But it's alright..."

As he spoke, he probed the interior of the magical artifact with his divine sense.

The lightning tribulations had been restored to their original state, becoming the very essence of heaven and earth.

"Including what I refined last time, there is now quite a bit of the source of heaven and earth inside the cauldron."

Xia Zhaoyan put away the Qiankun Cauldron, not yet figuring out how to use these primordial elements of heaven and earth so as not to waste them.

At this moment, the storm clouds in the sky began to dissipate!

Xia Zhaoyan looked up.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes deep within the tribulation clouds.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, along with a hint of resentment!

Instantly, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and his scalp tingled!

The Way of Heaven, absolutely the Way of Heaven!!

Xia Zhaoyan was instantly alarmed. Damn it, was he being targeted by the Heavenly Dao?

Although I know that it is not the true Heavenly Dao, but rather one of His awakened avatars.

There was no time to think further, because the calamity clouds had completely dissipated at that moment!

The next moment, excited and fervent voices resounded throughout the world.

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince on successfully transcending his tribulation and advancing to the Grandmaster level!"

Three hundred thousand Heavenly Punishment soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted congratulations to Xia Zhaoyan in the air.

Instantly, everyone in Baiyujing and the people from the Heavenly Punishment Division knelt down on one knee to offer their congratulations.

"Ha ha!!"

"Please rise, everyone!"

At this moment, congratulatory voices echoed throughout the imperial city...

...

When Xia Zhaoyan arrived at his mother and the Emperor, Consort Hua excitedly stepped forward and grasped his arm.

He then examined her closely, fearing that his son might have been injured.

Xia Zhaoyan couldn't help but smile bitterly; perhaps all mothers in the world are like this.

Their children are always their everything.

"Alright, Mother, a mere heavenly tribulation can't harm me."

...

The news that the Crown Prince had successfully transcended his tribulation and become a Grandmaster spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty in an instant.

Some people were happy for him, while others gritted their teeth in anger!

Inside a mansion, several mysterious figures with powerful auras gathered.

The space around them fluctuated, making it impossible for outsiders to see their faces clearly.

"Gentlemen, shall we continue?"

One of their voices slowly rang out!
