[Turn Danger into Safety] Takes Effect, Strength Soars Again
Chen Du slowly returned to the Qingyou Bamboo Courtyard and quietly sat down on the bed.
Calm your mind and return to the sea of consciousness.
The next instant, a warm and powerful current of energy surged into the depths of his consciousness from the void.
It's Calamity Qi.
After a brief deduction, Chen Du understood that it was pure Calamity Qi accumulated over a full twelve billion years.
In this battle, a Thirteenth Tier Early Stage God Venerable led more than ten sects and 100,000 soldiers to press down on Qingfeng Temple, with overwhelming killing intent and a desperate situation ahead, the danger of which was greater than any of his past tribulations.
It is precisely because of the extreme danger of this heaven-defying calamity that the Heavenly Dao's reward is so generous and profound.
With a thought, he poured all the Calamity Qi of twelve billion years into his own Heavenly Dao talent.
In an instant, his long-dormant talent trembled violently, the vibrations far exceeding those of previous breakthroughs and transformations.
His sea of consciousness churned and roared, and the four supreme treasure phenomena manifested simultaneously, quietly hovering deep within his Divine Sense.
The first one was a deep and concentrated dark golden divine light, containing within it the complete understanding of the Divine Firmament Thunder Source Law accumulated by others over five hundred billion years.
The second one is a dark gold halo of the same quality, containing the accumulation of the pure Law of Thunder of five hundred billion years.
The third item was an ancient Wordless Sword Manual.
The scroll was blank, without any inscription. When unfolded, dense, crisscrossing ancient sword patterns came into view, exuding Dao Resonance and restrained killing intent. It was the fourth form of the Primordial Tribulation-Extinguishing Sword.
The fourth power was a vast and pure Heavenly Dao initiation that sank into his sea of consciousness with a bang. From top to bottom, it solidified, refined, and connected all the Tribulation Source Laws within his body, thoroughly polishing his previously obscure and weak foundation of the Dao until it was clear, flawless, and extremely stable.
Chen Du closed his eyes and concentrated, fully activating his [Divine Revelation Reading] talent, extending his Divine Sense to its limit.
[You take Divine Revelation Enlightenment as your foundation, and integrate your understanding of the Divine Firmament Thunder Source Law over five hundred billion years. The vast foundation of the Great Dao surges into your sea of consciousness like an endless ocean, solidifying your foundation of laws and Dao again and again.]
The Divine Firmament Thunder Source Law steadily climbed from the second level, breaking through the third and fourth levels, and finally firmly reaching the perfect state of the fifth level.
[You then deduced the Law of Thunder, all your insights from five hundred billion years of Dao cultivation dissolving into your mind, filling all the gaps in your path. The Law of Thunder also leaped from the second realm, breaking through layer upon layer of shackles, reaching the perfection of the fifth realm.]
[You have devoted yourself to comprehending the Tribulation Source Law, and the power of the Heavenly Dao's empowerment has thoroughly solidified your foundation in these laws, making your path unobstructed and breaking all shackles.]
[You finally comprehend the true meaning of the fourth form of the Primordial Tribulation-Extinguishing Sword. With the sword path as the framework, the fivefold Divine Firmament Thunder Source Law as the guiding foundation, and the fivefold Perfect Law of Thunder as the sharpness of the blade, the fourth form's sword momentum slowly condenses and takes perfect shape in your sea of consciousness.]
[Where the sword light rises, the heavens and earth are engulfed in raging lightning, and the eternal source of thunder roars and boils. This technique is named— Primordial Tribulation-Extinguishing Sword: Thunder Source Calamity Annihilation Myriad Tribulations Return to the Void. Its overall power is a full hundred times that of the third technique.]
After a long while, Chen Du slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of stagnant air. His body's energy was clear and complete, without any stagnation.
He lowered his eyes to look at his hands, where two solid and profound lightning patterns slowly flowed in his palms. The lightning was restrained and the Dao Resonance was hidden, making them more heavy and powerful than before, with a far-reaching meaning.
At this moment, his understanding of the Dao of Thunder has reached a whole new level.
The Divine Firmament Thunder Source has reached its fifth level of perfection, Law of Thunder has reached its fifth level of perfection.
Having undergone this Calamity Qi and the Heaven's Way's Gift, his cultivation foundation and the realm of the Great Dao have once again reached a new level, making his foundation even more unbreakable.
Chen Du slowly stood up, gently stretching his shoulders and neck, his entire body exuding a relaxed and natural aura.
Down the mountain, the distant sound of the bell from Qingfeng Temple drifted through the forest, its melody lingering and calming, soothing away the lingering chill of war.
He stood in the bamboo courtyard, the breeze gentle, his eyes calm and undisturbed, yet his mind was perfectly clear.
With a thought, Chen Du activated all five realms of the Divine Firmament Thunder Source Law and the five realms of the Law of Thunder, which he had already perfected, and poured them continuously into the black hole at the deepest part of his sea of consciousness.
The next moment!
A deafening roar reverberated through his mind, the pitch-black spatial vortex trembled violently, and boundless black light surged and expanded, initiating an ultimate transformation and expansion.
First expansion!
The outline of the black hole suddenly expanded outwards, and its volume increased several times in an instant.
What followed was an extremely terrifying, consuming gravitational force that suddenly revived and rose layer by layer.
That power was formless and intangible, yet utterly domineering, like a Lie Dormant giant hand that had been dormant for countless ages, pulling at everything in the sea of consciousness with immense, omnipresent pressure.
Before the turmoil could subside, a second expansion followed!
The black hole expanded again, its size increasing several times over, its interior becoming deep and dark, with no end in sight.
The gravitational pull doubled dramatically, and the domineering tearing force spread throughout his sea of consciousness. Even the two Thunder Laws within his body, which had long been stable and perfected, were pulled and slightly twisted and trembled by this terrifying gravitational pull.
The third expansion!
An ultimate transformation has been unleashed!
The black hole expanded to dozens of times its original size, occupying the core of the sea of consciousness, like an independent, dark world.
The terrifying gravity broke through its shackles, reaching a completely new realm of terror.
At this moment, Chen Du clearly sensed that the black hole deep within his sea of consciousness had transformed into a supreme behemoth that was slowly awakening.
Every slight tremor and every breath it exhales stirs the Dao Resonance tides of the entire sea of consciousness, suppressing all directions and awe-inspiring the mind.
After a long while, Chen Du slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a deep, turbid breath, and his body's energy became perfectly stable and calm.
The third expansion was successfully completed.
According to the supreme cultivation method he practiced, the black hole of his own origin could undergo a maximum of thirteen transformations and expansions in his lifetime.
With each expansion, the black hole's gravity increases dramatically, multiplying its suppression and devouring power over the laws of heaven and earth, as well as the cultivation level of its opponents, resulting in layer upon layer of qualitative changes.
Once all thirteen expansions are completed, it will be the best time for him to break through barriers and realms, and attempt to reach the fourteenth realm of the Heavenly Dao.
Chen Du secretly calculated the combat strength in his mind.
The terrifying gravity of the three expanded black holes is now enough to imprison and lock down even the strongest beings at the Star Ninth Realm, causing their physical bodies to freeze, their laws to be difficult to move, and their movements to be impossible.
Even top experts of the same level who have mastered the expansion of six or seven black holes, with his current profound foundation of two seventh-level core laws and a fifth-level perfect domain, he is confident that he can fight head-on and not be at a disadvantage.
It should be noted that his Divine Firmament Thunder Source Law and Law of Thunder are both mid-level core level seven laws, and his thorough comprehension of the five realms has long surpassed the understanding and upper limit of cultivators of the same realm, with a world of difference in their foundation.
With his mind settled, Chen Du slowly rose, stretching his shoulders, neck, and limbs. His body exuded a calm and profound Dao Resonance aura.
Down the mountain, the bell of Qingfeng Temple echoed gently across the mountains, penetrating layers of forest mist, its distant and serene sound washing away the restlessness of a life of battle and transformation.
