Satisfying the Bloodline Ancestral Return's Second Need

Last time at Wuzhuang Temple, a heavenly tribulation descended. This time, is it a breakthrough in cultivation? But it feels like a Form Transformation Heavenly Tribulation!

The last person to appear was Primordial Heavenly Lord.

He and Tongtian both instinctively turned their gazes toward Taishang.

But before they could speak.

Taishang's voice spread across all of Kunlun.

"All of you, withdraw from Kunlun Mountain at once!"

The countless beings felt that terrifying pressure and, upon receiving Taishang's command, immediately bowed.

"Yes!"

All living beings fled Kunlun Mountain with the utmost speed.

Their hearts were filled with doubt. Though they did not understand why Taishang had given such an order, they still obeyed.

Bixiao, however, was extremely anxious. She clasped her hands and bowed, then hastily spoke: "Great Master-Uncle, Senior Brother Niu Ben is still in seclusion!"

Taishang smiled faintly. "No matter. This heavenly tribulation was triggered by your Senior Brother Niu Ben."

"Leave at once."

When these words left his mouth.

Primordial Heavenly Lord and Tongtian were both shaken inwardly.

This tribulation was caused by Big Brother's mount?

The disciples below were equally incredulous. What had happened to Senior Brother Niu Ben?

To have triggered such a terrifying heavenly tribulation?

And at this moment, inside Niu Ben's cave dwelling.

His aura suddenly erupted. Within his body, three thousand Earth Fiend Spirits roared in unison.

At the same time.

One of Niu Ben's Three Flowers—Heaven, Earth, and Human—the Human Flower.

Quietly took shape at this moment, gradually condensing into a nine-grade form.

The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm had been achieved, and moreover, the flower had bloomed to nine grades.

Before reaching the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm during cultivation, one relied on personal fortune, comprehension, and perseverance. But after reaching that realm, it was all about the grade of the Three Flowers.

When the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Human fully bloomed, one could reach the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Upon stepping into the Zenith Heaven realm, one could perceive the grade of the Three Flowers.

Back then, even the Three Pure Ones had only achieved a nine-grade bloom, which also granted them the potential to become sages.

When one's power reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, the Three Flowers would condense above the head, and the Grand Luo Dao Fruit would begin to gestate.

From then on, one would transcend the Five Elements and share the same lifespan as Heaven and Earth.

Barring any unforeseen accidents, one's life would be endless.

"Hah!"

Niu Ben exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

His heart was also filled with excitement. After traversing the Primordial Wilderness for countless eons, he had finally become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Though in the current Primordial Wilderness, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals walked everywhere and Golden Immortals were as common as dogs—his strength was still nothing to boast of across the entire Primordial Wilderness—at least he now possessed basic self-preservation power.

But that excitement had barely surfaced when the next moment, his expression froze.

The voice of the system in his mind suddenly rang out.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the host's cultivation has reached Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, satisfying the second requirement for Bloodline Ancestral Return!]

[Warning!]

[The Ancestral Return Heavenly Tribulation is about to descend!]

Hearing the system's warning, Niu Ben was stunned for a moment. His smile vanished completely, and his expression grew uglier and uglier.

"Damn it!"

He couldn't help but curse inwardly.

How had he forgotten about this?

He had no preparations whatsoever right now. And worst of all, he was on Kunlun Mountain.

If the heavenly tribulation descended here, its power would increase a hundredfold!

Wherever the tribulation descended, if other living beings were present besides the one undergoing the tribulation, the power would directly stack.

He knew better than anyone how many people were on Kunlun Mountain.

If the full power of the heavenly tribulation were all stacked onto him, the very first bolt would reduce him to ashes.

At this moment, his heart was filled with urgency.

Those fellows had better not be too curious and come over to watch the commotion.

He quickly swept his divine sense outward.

But immediately, he was stunned to discover.

Under his perception, Kunlun Mountain was now completely empty of people.

Then, an involuntary smile spread across his face.

He had been worrying for nothing—Taishang must have noticed his Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend and deliberately had everyone leave this place.

Taishang would naturally understand the terror of stacked tribulations.

His heart was deeply moved, and he felt immense gratitude toward Taishang.

Since there were no longer any lingering concerns.

Then let it come!

Niu Ben rose and stepped forward; the moment he appeared outside his cave dwelling.

He directly transformed into his true form.

Raised his head and roared at the sky.

"Come on, let me see your power!"

The moment his true form appeared over Kunlun Mountain.

His terrifying figure blotted out the sky and covered the sun, the entire Kunlun Mountain seeming to be shrouded within his shadow.

And his roar, raised to the heavens.

Carried overwhelming might, as if forming a stance of opposition against the Heavenly Tribulation.

Above the sky, the Tribulation Cloud flickered with purple electric sparks; the thunder tribulation had already begun to brew.

Outside Kunlun Mountain.

The disciples under Primordial Heavenly Lord and Tongtian, upon seeing the colossal body coiled around Kunlun Mountain, stood dumbfounded one after another, their hearts shaken in a lingering shock that refused to fade.

They simply could not believe it.

This was Senior Brother Niu Ben?

Tongtian and Primordial Heavenly Lord were equally stunned.

Although Niu Ben was only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, the aura radiating from his body was extremely peculiar—it did not resemble the strength a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal should possess.

Moreover, that aura was like a seed about to break through its shell.

As if something was brewing within.

But they could not sense what it was, and when they tried to deduce it, everything was shrouded in mist.

They had not yet reached the Saint realm, where a single thought could comprehend past and future, roaming the river of time.

Taishang's expression remained calm.

Within his eyes seemed to flow an unfathomably deep river of Dao principles.

Others did not understand Niu Ben.

But he knew him very well.

At first, he had thought Niu Ben was merely an ordinary Azure Ox; then came the Heavenly Tribulation at Wuzhuang Temple, after which his bloodline actually advanced.

From the moment of birth, every living being in the Primordial Wilderness had its Origin fixed.

He had never heard of a being that could elevate its own Origin.

For a living being to raise its Origin, it required extremely rare and precious Innate Spiritual Roots—even the Three Pure Ones did not possess such treasures in their hands.

What was universally acknowledged in the Primordial Wilderness had been broken by Niu Ben.

His heart was likewise filled with anticipation.

What changes would the ox undergo?

Would it be as he imagined—his Origin and bloodline continuously improving?

If it evolved again, it might very well become an Innate Demon God Origin.

Could it truly evolve into an Innate Demon God Origin?

Once this thought appeared in Taishang's mind, it was like a seed taking root and sprouting; even he felt a sense of urgency, eager to see the result as soon as possible.

Primordial Heavenly Lord and Tongtian gazed at Niu Ben's figure.

Their thoughts differed.

But the disciples under them all looked up in awe.

Merely the mount of the Grand Senior Uncle, yet his strength had reached such a terrifying level.

Having just stepped into Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he had already triggered a horrifying Heavenly Tribulation; even outside Kunlun Mountain, they could clearly feel the tribulation's dreadful pressure.

If they were to face such a tribulation.

Just the pressure alone would be enough to crush any will to resist.

Perhaps the first bolt of lightning would fall, and they would be utterly annihilated on the spot.
