Entering the Dao Palace Realm

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Just then, a dragon's roar echoed from the sky. It was the Dragon God Physique anomaly that Ye Ming had absorbed.

Faintly, a blurry, terrifying dragon silhouette writhed in the sea of clouds. Golden light blazed, purple mists surged, and the aura of dragon might spread across the land. A single wisp of its breath was enough to shatter the firmament. An unprecedented, terrifying power enveloped heaven and earth.

This anomaly was named Dragon God Shattering the Firmament!

Coupled with the True Dragon blood Ye Ming already possessed, this anomaly was even more powerful than Long Hao's had been previously.

At this moment, the Forbidden Zone elders who witnessed this scene were all stunned.

"Just one step left, break for me!"

A voice boomed, immense and powerful. It was Ye Ming.

With numerous anomalies appearing, his aura surged continuously, reaching its peak as he underwent the final breakthrough.

Normally, in his current state, he could break through at any moment. However, Ye Ming desired to step into the Dao Palace Realm with true supreme might.

At this moment, the entire Forbidden Zone was watching Ye Ming's breakthrough.

"In the Dao Palace Realm, some prodigies can manifest a strand of Immortal Qi within their bodies during their breakthrough, serving as proof of their prodigy status."

"Given the Imperial Son's talent, how many strands of Immortal Qi will manifest this time?"

A voice drifted from above the void. It was the Sixth Elder, Blood Soul, his eyes filled with curiosity as he speculated.

"I heard that a peerless prodigy emerged from the Dragon Emperor Ridge area. When he broke through to the Dao Palace, seven strands of Immortal Qi manifested within his body."

"Nine is the extreme number. In my opinion, with the Imperial Son's talent, he won't be any worse than that Dragon Son. Manifesting seven strands of Immortal Qi should be no problem!"

Beside him, the Third Elder, Yan Tu, his beard and hair trembling, spoke.

Seven strands of Immortal Qi—even throughout history, across countless eras, those who could possess seven strands of Immortal Qi in the Dao Palace were peerless prodigies, comparable to some Great Emperors in their youth.

Dragon Emperor Ridge was an Archaic Imperial Clan, its foundation no less than that of the Primordial Forbidden Zone, and one of the world's forbidden powers.

And that Dragon Son who manifested seven strands of Immortal Qi was a true prodigy of this era, surpassing all other prodigies in the world.

At this moment, Yan Tu compared that Dragon Son to Ye Ming, believing their Imperial Son would be no worse than that Dragon Son. This was partly because Ye Ming's Primordial Demonic Body had not yet reached its full potential. Once the Primordial Demonic Body was perfected, it would surpass all supreme physiques in the world.

"Heh, seven strands of Immortal Qi are indeed powerful, but we should have some confidence in the Imperial Son. How about eight?"

At this moment, a voice rang out. It was the First Elder, Mo Ao.

"Eight strands... that's difficult. Even some Great Emperors in their youth might not have had eight strands of Immortal Qi in their Dao Palace Realm."

"Indeed. Actually, if he could possess seven strands of Immortal Qi, coupled with the Imperial Son's infinitely growing physique, his path to becoming a Great Emperor this lifetime is already secured!"

Voices chimed in, deeming it too difficult to manifest eight strands of Immortal Qi in the Dao Palace Realm.

With a majestic face and clad in a golden robe, the First Elder, Mo Ao, stood in the void, lost in thought. He wondered if he was being too confident, as possessing seven strands of Immortal Qi already made one the most monstrous prodigy of this era.

"Heh, my apologies for being too greedy. Seven strands of Immortal Qi are also excellent!"

The First Elder chuckled.

At this moment, figures blurred throughout the Forbidden Zone, appearing in the void, exuding an immensely powerful aura. Their gazes were all fixed on Ye Ming, filled with curiosity.

Each strand of Immortal Qi represented the upper limit of one's talent.

As for why no one mentioned nine strands of Immortal Qi, it was because for prodigies in the Dao Palace Realm, manifesting nine strands of Immortal Qi within their bodies had always been a legend, never witnessed by anyone...

"Now is the time, break!"

At this moment, the light around Ye Ming blazed to its absolute extreme, dazzling and growing stronger, surpassing everything before. Boundless radiance ascended, and profound, complex Dao Patterns floated around him.

Stepping onto the Divine Bridge, breaking through to the Dao Palace.

Finally, he broke through the limits of the Divine Bridge Realm and completely entered the Dao Palace Realm.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

At this moment, the Nine Heavens above changed color, thunder surged, dragon shadows and phoenix cries echoed, and the essence of heaven and earth boiled like an ocean.

At this moment, Ye Ming seemed to transform into a True Dragon, his blood flowing powerfully within him. Standing in the sky, the void trembled violently. His body was crystal clear, supremely sacred and divine.

He was enveloped in chaotic demonic light, a sign of the Primordial Demonic Body strengthening once more, like a peerless demonic god looking down upon the world.

"Next, it's time to manifest the Immortal Qi within my body!"

Ye Ming said calmly. He could feel a faint, ethereal Immortal Qi surging within his Dao Palace.

One strand, two strands, three strands, four strands...

"This must be what they call Immortal Qi. I wonder how many strands I'll manifest?"

"I heard the elders say before that the more of this stuff, the better!"

Ye Ming muttered to himself. Currently, he could only sense four strands, with the rest seemingly still gathering.

Just as Ye Ming was about to manifest Immortal Qi.

At this moment.

Liu Mingyue, her body trembling, walked out of Ye Ming's sleeping quarters.

Her three thousand strands of dark hair fell naturally, her features were exquisite, her eyes were phoenix-shaped, and she wore a green robe. Her figure was flawless, with perfect curves, skin whiter than snow, and a body like jade. Her delicate form shimmered, so radiant it could reflect light.

"This is... someone is breaking through to the Dao Palace Realm!"

Her voice was like a clear spring flowing, pleasant to the ear, as Liu Mingyue looked up at the sky.

"It's that scoundrel!!!"

Her red lips parted slightly, her silver teeth clenched, and her eyebrows furrowed. Recalling the humiliation of the past few days, Liu Mingyue felt like dying.

After that night, the other party hadn't let her go, claiming that cultivating with her Cold Spirit Physique once wasn't enough.

Under someone else's roof, she couldn't resist.

Thinking of this, Liu Mingyue's anger flared. After the first night, her Cold Spirit Physique's effect for dual cultivation had long since disappeared. Not enough for one session? What a lie!

"Hmph, I'd like to see how many strands of Immortal Qi can be born within your Dao Palace this time you break through!"

Looking at Ye Ming in the sky, Liu Mingyue said coldly.

As a prodigy of this era, Liu Mingyue had born four strands of Immortal Qi within her body when she entered the Dao Palace, being hailed as the most astonishing talent in the Flying Immortal Sacred Land in ten thousand years.

Although she hated the scoundrel before her, Liu Mingyue had to admit that his talent was indeed much stronger than hers.

"At most, it'll be five strands of Immortal Qi..."
