Inside Biyou Palace on Golden Ao Island.
Tongtian continued tirelessly striking at the barrier to the limits of the physical body.
He mobilized all the power of his vital essence and blood.
Three hundred times.
Two thousand!
Eighteen thousand!
Twenty thousand times!
Finally, the barrier to the limits of the physical body began to totter on the verge of collapse.
Boom!
In an instant, boundless power from his vital essence and blood erupted from Tongtian's body.
His physical cultivation broke through its limits!
At that moment, faint sonic booms erupted throughout the space around Tongtian. Tearing apart the void seemed to be as easy as raising a hand!
So this was what it felt like to break through the limits of the physical body!
Inside his Violet Palace, Tongtian's vast spiritual power seemed to be cheering and leaping for joy.
"Is my cultivation going to break through along with my physical body?"
Tongtian muttered, then excitedly began guiding his spiritual power toward a breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed, and the commotion within Tongtian's Violet Palace gradually subsided.
Tongtian slowly opened his eyes. Terrifying sword rays seemed to exist within his pupils, and with the blink of an eye, they could unleash terrifying might.
Half-step Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Although Tongtian was still some distance from becoming a Great Dao Saint, he was already more than capable of completely defeating a Heavenly Dao Sage.
Eighty percent of the power of his vital essence and blood had been used to strengthen his physical body and foundation, so his cultivation had not increased by much.
Pangu Cultivation Method! Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit!
Suddenly, two cultivation methods appeared in Tongtian's mind.
As Tongtian's foundation and cultivation improved, even the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Merit had been completed.
The Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit was even more powerful and could be cultivated without end.
The Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit rewarded by the system could allow one to successfully cultivate to the Hunyuan Saint realm and beyond.
It had opened the path toward pursuing the supreme realm!
The corners of Tongtian's lips lifted slightly. This gift had come at exactly the right time!
"Perhaps there is no longer any Saint whose physical body can stand against mine!"
"Even so, this is still far from enough!"
Tongtian's face was as cold as if it were covered in ten-thousand-year-old ice.
Yuanshi, Zhunti, and Jieyin—those three hypocrites!
If the three of them joined forces, along with Taishang and Nuwa, Tongtian would have to face the pressure of fighting five Saints!
Although Tongtian was filled with confidence in his own strength, he truly was still incapable of fighting five Saints by himself.
Just as Tongtian was considering how to increase his combat power,
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully triggered a hidden option."
"One: Continue cultivating and break through to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm (Great Dao Saint). Reward: one Destiny Rainbow (Great Dao divine ability) and one Destiny Demon God treasure: Destiny Dao Palace (incomplete)."
"Two: Seclude yourself and cultivate your physical body. Reward: one Wondrous Spirit Immortal Bamboo (Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure), plus one cluster of Eight Treasures Auspicious Cloud (high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure)."
Looking at the two choices given by the God-Tier System, Tongtian directly chose the first one!
Eight Treasures Auspicious Cloud?
Although this treasure was rare, Tongtian no longer needed to obtain defensive treasures, because he already possessed the incomparably powerful Heaven Slaying Sword Formation.
In Tongtian's view, offense was the best defense. Persisting in defense would ultimately only lead to defeat. It was just a pity to pass up an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Even the Pangu Banner in Yuanshi's hands was an Innate Supreme Treasure. The Eight Treasures Auspicious Cloud was not enough to move Tongtian.
Moreover, the Eight Treasures Auspicious Cloud could not withstand the Pangu Banner.
Therefore, Tongtian resolutely chose the first option.
At that moment, the items rewarded by the system had already been placed inside his Violet Palace.
Tongtian began cultivating the Destiny Rainbow. Boundless Yellow Springs water appeared and flowed, while the power of life and death spread in all directions.
Inside Biyou Palace, where Tongtian was cultivating in seclusion, boundless Life and Death Destiny Laws filled the air.
The Life and Death Destiny Laws contained mysterious power that could directly interfere with life and death.
When Yama decreed that you would die at the third watch, who would dare keep you alive until the fifth?
The Life and Death Destiny Laws were such a formidable existence.
As long as he successfully cultivated this Heavenly Dao divine ability, Tongtian could directly wield the power of life and death and defeat his enemies!
Now, Tongtian had gained yet another trump card for defeating his enemies!
Tongtian's gaze shifted toward the Destiny Dao Palace.
Destiny Demon God! That was one of the most powerful gods and demons!
The Destiny Dao Palace was the Destiny Demon God's innate treasure. Although it was incomplete, its might could not be underestimated!
Regardless of what kind of Great Dao divine ability it was, when used in conjunction with the Destiny Dao Palace, its power would be amplified several times over!
"Those hypocrites probably still think I'm easy to bully, don't they?"
"Just wait. I'll give you a great surprise!"
Tongtian thought with burning anticipation.
The next thing to do was completely refine the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao Fruit!
Once he successfully refined it, he would surely enter the realm of a Great Dao Saint!
Then, Tongtian formed hand seals and refined the Dao Fruit.
In an instant, countless strands of spiritual power filled his Violet Palace like floodwaters released from a breached dam.
Even the Violet Palace that had expanded after his physical cultivation breakthrough was filled in an instant, demonstrating just how powerful the Dao Fruit was.
Supreme Dao Insights were the key to attaining Sainthood. They required countless years of accumulation, bit by bit.
Yet Tongtian now had the countless Dao Insights provided by the Dao Fruit, which he only needed to refine!
Rumble!
As Tongtian absorbed the inexhaustible spiritual power and Great Dao Insights within his Violet Palace one by one,
after repeatedly absorbing them again and again,
the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit grew smaller and smaller. Meanwhile, Tongtian's aura grew stronger bit by bit, and his primordial spirit became increasingly robust!
At the same time, while Tongtian was refining the Dao Fruit, the other Saints were not idle either.
The tribulation was approaching!
Although the Heavenly Dao was indestructible and Saints could not die, they still needed to make proper plans.
In the Western world, a Spirit Mountain shone with Buddha Light.
At that moment, Jieyin and Zhunti happened to be discussing the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
"The tribulation is almost upon us. If Tongtian does not enter it, our sect will be in danger!"
Zhunti spoke softly, his face filled with worry.
Through their relentless efforts, the Western Teachings had finally achieved a little success.
Without the Interception Sect joining in, the small foundation they had just acquired would be completely exhausted in no time!
Jieyin, however, was not flustered in the slightest. Looking toward the East, he said with a lecherous smile, "As long as Tongtian enters the tribulation, we can join forces to kill the Interception Sect and reduce our losses!"
"He really abandoned the Sage position? What a madman!"
"Don't think that will be enough to preserve the Interception Sect. Dream on!"
At those words, the two Saints wore complicated expressions.
The difficulty of obtaining a Sage position was greater than ascending to Heaven!
The Two Western Saints had exhausted every effort to obtain a single Sage position.
Yet Tongtian had discarded his with a single offhand sentence!
"Heh! Let's see how he resists us now!"
"Hehehe, Tongtian is no longer a Saint. All the underhanded methods we could not use before can now be used against him openly!"
Zhunti laughed darkly.
Jieyin also laughed sinisterly alongside him.
Whenever they recalled the humiliation Tongtian had brought them, their faces still burned with shame.
But now, everything was finally going well. Tongtian was no longer a Saint.
The next time they met, the humiliation he had once inflicted on them would surely be repaid twofold!
