Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment

At a critical moment, Shen Yi felt a powerful fluctuation coming from his ring.

The King Beast Egg actually appeared in front of him, emitting waves of light and blocking the attack for him.

"Little Black!"

Shen Yi exclaimed, seeing the runes on the eggshell flashing as cracks spread little by little.

"Yiya!"

The eggshell shattered, and Little Black poked its head out, excitedly greeting Shen Yi. Then its entire body sprang out, standing in front of him.

"Aowuu!"

Suddenly, a roar echoed through heaven and earth. The cultivator at the Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment stage was the first to be hit, sent flying and covered in blood.

The young black cat in front of him let out a roar like a tiger's. Shen Yi found it amusing, but to the others, it looked like they were facing a demon god, their faces filled with terror.

Little Black looked up at the precious cauldron in the air, then swatted the eggshell beside it with a paw. The eggshell immediately turned into a stream of pure spiritual energy that flowed into the air.

Seeing this, Shen Yi understood Little Black's intention and quickly circulated the Indestructible Meridian, the second level of the Indestructible Scripture.

Shen Yi's body began to turn transparent, and his meridians could be faintly seen. Under the countless surges of the spiritual sea within him, they slowly turned golden.

As that stream of spiritual energy rushed into the air, the ninth precious cauldron appeared.

A beastly shadow emerged, its form dark and its pair of golden wings flapping, stirring up huge waves of spiritual energy.

"It's over! The ninth precious cauldron!"

Seeing this, everyone lost all will to fight. They even felt fear, only wishing they could get out quickly, lest Shen Yi settle the score.

"Clang—"

Two cauldron sounds rang out simultaneously in the world. Everyone in the secret realm was shocked, their expressions varied.

The one deep in the snowy mountains suddenly soared into the sky, shooting out two beams of light. Their gazes met Shen Yi's, and they actually smiled and nodded at him before letting out a long cry and disappearing.

Shen Yi looked surprised but didn't dwell on it. At this moment, the nine precious cauldrons above his head spun rapidly, casting down nine beams of light that drew him into the air. The nine cauldrons gradually solidified and shrank, circling around him. Similarly, nine spiritual cauldrons circled in his spiritual sea.

With a flash of light, the nine cauldrons entered Shen Yi's body, merging with the spiritual cauldrons. Finally, they transformed into a small golden cauldron that sank into his spiritual sea.

"Peak Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment!"

Shen Yi couldn't help but roar, the sound waves rolling and shattering distant mountain peaks.

The appearance of two cultivators at the peak Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment stage absorbed the spiritual energy in this area. In the thin spiritual energy, Shen Yi keenly sensed a trace of unusual aura in the air, faint and unlike the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Little Black seemed to sense it too, leaping into his arms and babbling incoherently.

"Heavenly Dao aura!"

A sacred aura descended, making people involuntarily want to prostrate themselves. It was unlike any other aura in the world, containing the laws of the Heavenly Dao and an air of looking down on all beings.

Everyone present was filled with excitement. The legendary Heavenly Dao aura had actually descended today.

"Foundation Establishment!"

Looking at the golden aura in the sky, many people went mad again, wanting to rush into the sky and seize it.

"That's mine!"

Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, supreme in the world. Everyone descended into madness; it was an excellent opportunity for a leap to heaven.

"Get lost!"

Shen Yi's eyes turned red. He roared and conjured a giant hand in the air to grab the aura. The cultivators below attacked, trying to stop him, but he slapped them away.

"Little Black!"

Shen Yi called out, and Little Black understood. It leaped beside the aura and swallowed half of it. The remaining half of the Heavenly Dao aura slipped from Shen Yi's grasp and headed far away.

"Where do you think you're going!"

His gaze piercing, Shen Yi roared again. Spirit Wings instantly erupted, chasing after the Heavenly Dao aura. Behind him, several Foundation Establishment cultivators, riding on their magical artifacts, were also desperately pursuing.

Once one reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they could fly on swords. At the Golden Core stage, they could fly freely.

"Stop him!"

Everyone attacked together. Spiritual energy raged behind Shen Yi, and countless gusts of wind carrying spiritual power howled towards him.

Shen Yi turned back and waved his sleeve. Two phantom images appeared behind him: a giant elephant roared, and a dragon coiled, instantly tearing apart the wind. He had stabilized his realm now and was unleashing his full power.

With booming sounds that shook heaven and earth, the pursuing Foundation Establishment cultivators were all struck down, spitting blood and their auras weak.

The spiritual energy suddenly changed direction, rushing towards the ground. A Foundation Establishment cultivator grabbed it, about to refine it.

"Hahaha, Shen Yi, this Heavenly Dao aura is destined to have nothing to do with you!"

Shen Yi's eyes glinted with ferocity, his body trembling slightly. Anyone who dared to contend with him for the Heavenly Dao aura today would pay the price.

His figure flickered, and he instantly appeared before the man. The Coiled Dragon Halberd was unleashed. With a flash of black light, the man fell with a look of surprise. Shen Yi seized the opportunity, grabbed the aura, and, mimicking Little Black, swallowed it in one gulp.

The small golden cauldron rushed out of his spiritual sea, enveloping the aura. His spiritual sea churned like unquenchable flames burning beneath the small cauldron.

"Anyone who dares to step closer will die!"

Shen Yi said in a deep voice, his words like a thunderous bell. The Coiled Dragon Halberd stood before him, emitting a chilling aura of death.

The Heavenly Dao aura surged skyward, filled with sanctity, and in an instant, it spread across the entire world. All the remaining disciples showed looks of horror, their eyes fixed on Shen Yi's direction, restless.

"Boom!"

Just as Shen Yi was about to successfully establish his Heavenly Dao Foundation, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless thunderclouds converged.

"Lightning tribulation!"

Seeing the rolling lightning flashes above, all the disciples didn't linger and retreated one after another.

"Damn it!"

Shen Yi cursed inwardly. He had just refined the Heavenly Dao energy, and his foundation was unstable. A lightning tribulation had appeared, catching him off guard.

"Crack!"

A thunderous sound echoed, and a lightning bolt as thick as an iron chain struck down, landing on Shen Yi. His entire body shone with golden light, resisting the lightning.

One wave after another, another lightning bolt descended, even more powerful. Even with his tough skin, his hair stood on end, and his body was charred black.

"This isn't a Foundation Establishment tribulation, but a Golden Core tribulation!"

Shen Yi looked at Little Black in his arms, which was exuding an incredibly powerful aura, and finally understood. This lightning tribulation wasn't targeting him, but Little Black's Golden Core tribulation!

He shook his head with a wry smile. He placed Little Black on his shoulder. This was its tribulation, and he was merely caught in the crossfire.

However, it was too late to dodge now. Black tribulation clouds filled the sky of the entire secret realm, and the third lightning tribulation descended.

Little Black suddenly inhaled, actually swallowing the lightning bolt. Shen Yi, however, wasn't so lucky and was struck by the residual waves of electricity, letting out a scream.

The fourth lightning tribulation was already poised and descended fiercely. Little Black once again opened its mouth and swallowed it, followed by Shen Yi's screams.

"Is there any justice?"

Shen Yi grumbled in his heart. Why was Little Black unharmed after swallowing it whole, while he was terrified even by the residual waves?

Before he could recover, the fifth lightning tribulation descended.
