A day had quietly passed.

As noon approached, a massive dragon cocoon on the surface of the sea suddenly erupted with immense energy. A colossal dragon, radiating overwhelming pressure, broke free from the cocoon and let out a deafening roar in the sky.

Seeing this, Mo Changyu immediately stood up from atop Ali, his Yin-Yang Qi swirling in his hands, enveloping everyone nearby.

As Mo Changyu moved, the pressure on everyone's bodies also dissipated.

Suddenly, the sky darkened with storm clouds. The Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor's eighty thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation was brewing within the clouds.

Even though the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor had undergone cleansing with Dragon Essence, pushing his cultivation to eighty thousand years, and his bloodline had greatly improved, reaching eighty-three thousand years, his strength had been significantly enhanced.

However, facing the vast and imposing Heavenly Tribulation, that supremely yang and rigid thunder, carrying endless destruction and judgment, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor still had to lower his proud dragon head. It was a fear ingrained in his bloodline – no Soul Beast was unafraid of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor looked at Mo Changyu in the distance and said respectfully, "The Senior Ancestor's tribulation is about to begin. I wish you a safe passage through the tribulation."

Mo Changyu replied calmly, "Focus on your tribulation. I've arranged formations around you beforehand. They will be of assistance."

"If you truly can't persevere in the end, I will intervene personally."

Having said that, Mo Changyu waved his hand.

Mysterious runes began to appear all over the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor's dragon body, gradually forming intricate formations.

Seeing this, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor trusted Mo Changyu immensely and channeled all his Soul Power, preparing to face his eighty thousand-year tribulation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, a tremendous explosion echoed through the sky as a bolt of thunder, carrying immense Heavenly authority, charged towards the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor.

The thunder struck the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor, destroying everything in its path. A searing pain coursed through his body, and he involuntarily let out a painful roar.

"Master, please help Mother, please help Mother!"

"Mother is in so much pain, she can't hold on!"

"Waaah!"

Seeing this, Ali was heartbroken and immediately cried out for help to Mo Changyu.

Mo Changyu looked at him and said softly, "Why are you crying? Take a look at what your mother looks like now."

Ali looked up and saw that the formations surrounding the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor were converting some of the thunder's energy and feeding it back to him. The remaining thunder, under the influence of the formations, only served to refine his body. However, this process caused the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor to experience alternating periods of pain and comfort—pain accompanied by a sense of ease!

"Thank you, Master! Hehe!"

Ali, seeing this, was overjoyed, knowing that the Senior's formations were at work, helping his mother. After thanking Mo Changyu, he encouraged the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor:

"Mother, cheer up!"

"Mother, cheer up!"

As time passed, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor was about to face his final tribulation. This last tribulation took the longest to manifest, and the tribulation suddenly mutated, with fierce winds swirling around and a faint golden glow appearing within the clouds.

Even Li Changsheng stood up, his brow furrowed as he gazed at the bolt of thunder.

Seeing this, everyone around him had never seen Li Changsheng lose his composure.

Ali was even more anxious, asking, "What's wrong, Master? Is there danger with Mother's tribulation?"

Li Changsheng explained, "Nothing, I just didn't expect this."

"The Dragon Beast not only helped your mother break through to 800,000 years of cultivation and refine her body, but also strengthened your mother's bloodline, ultimately allowing it to evolve."

"But precisely because your mother's bloodline has evolved, the difficulty of her Heavenly Tribulation has increased."

"But don't worry, I'm here."

Having said that, powerful Sword Qi suddenly surged around Li Changsheng, and a wooden sword appeared in his hand.

Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly had a thought—a dual-attribute Martial Soul! Master (owner) was actually a dual-attribute Martial Soul.

But the next scene was even more astonishing. A series of unbelievable Soul Ring configurations also appeared on Li Changsheng's body: six red and three gold.

Six red and three gold. Shui Rou, upon seeing this, felt as if her head was about to explode. Especially seeing the final three "golden Soul Rings," she was momentarily stunned. Others might not know what golden Soul Rings represented, but as a Soul Beast who had lived through the era of the Sea God, how could she not know?

Golden Soul Rings had a minimum age of 100,000 years! 100,000 years! To obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring, you had to hunt down a 100,000-year Soul Beast. Even if you did kill a 100,000-year Soul Beast, you had to see if your body was strong enough to absorb it, otherwise you'd be burst open!

And now, where were there any 100,000-year Soul Beasts? So the golden Soul Rings on Li Changsheng's body could only be attributed to faith. But she hadn't heard of Li Changsheng's faith before. Faith-based Soul Rings required an immense amount of belief.

Also, she clearly remembered that when the Sea God ascended to Godhood, it was only when he condensed his tenth Soul Ring that a golden Soul Ring appeared. Other Soul Rings had also undergone changes due to the power of faith, but even with the support of faith power, he had only condensed one 100,000-year Soul Ring.

Li Changsheng had three! Shui Rou quickly re-evaluated her understanding of the world and felt incredibly lucky for the decision she had made in the past. (Here, an explanation: no one knew about Heaven-Granted Soul Rings before this, and the Heaven-Granted Soul Rings were also given by the System.)

Just as everyone was marveling at Li Changsheng's Soul Ring combination, "Boom!" The sky exploded with a deafening sound.

The final, eighty thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation of the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor descended, and the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor felt the terror of the tribulation, despairing and feeling that even Li Changsheng couldn't save him.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Opening the Heavens!"

Seeing this, Li Changsheng slowly raised the Luzu's Revered Sword in his hand and let out a low shout. Suddenly, all of Li Changsheng's Soul Power surged into the sword, slashing towards the thunder in the sky.

In an instant, a massive Sword Qi filled with the meaning of Opening the Heavens shot towards the thunder.

At the instant the lightning and sword qi met, they were shattered by the sword qi. Yet, the Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi didn't dissipate; instead, it continued to slash towards the dark clouds in the sky, cleaving them in two in a heartbeat.

Everyone, including the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor, stared dumbfounded at the sky split open by Li Changsheng, lost for words in their shock.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you all… not that surprised?" Li Changsheng looked at their astonished expressions and was quite pleased, though he feigned indifference, as if it were perfectly normal.

Hearing Li Changsheng's unassuming words, the others slowly returned to their senses, falling into silence.
