Yu Yuanchen's words were like thunderclaps, exploding in the hearts of Gu Yuena, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Di Tian.

Breakthrough?!

He actually intends to break through that legendary God-Level Barrier right here, at this very moment?!

Although everyone had already sensed that Yu Yuanchen's aura was perfectly harmonious and his foundation was unfathomable, and that he was only one step away from breaking through, they were still incredibly shocked and astonished to hear him announce his breakthrough so decisively.

This is about becoming a god! It's the ultimate goal that countless top experts dream of but can never reach! It's fraught with danger, a life-or-death struggle!

A complex glint flashed in Gu Yuena's amethyst-like eyes as she gazed intently at Yu Yuanchen, as if trying to see right through him.

Considering Yu Yuanchen's profound knowledge and unfathomable background, as well as his seemingly prescient wisdom, she wasn't particularly surprised.

"Old Yu, are you... confident?" Tang Chen couldn't help but ask, his voice slightly hoarse. Although he was bold, he had also learned from Di Tian how terrifying the Tribulation of Becoming a God, and that the slightest carelessness could lead to the destruction of both body and soul.

Qian Daoliu Di Tian also looked solemn as they gazed at Yu Yuanchen. Although they had confidence in Yu Yuanchen, this matter concerned life and death, and they could not afford to make any mistakes.

Yu Yuanchen's gaze was calm, a faint smile even playing on his lips, "Hold on? The path of cultivation Go against the heavens the flow. The suppression of the laws of this realm has been lifted; this is the perfect opportunity. Waiting any longer might only lead to missed opportunities and increase unforeseen variables."

He paused, looking at the hazy horizon in the distance, his tone carrying an undeniable determination. "Moreover, the situation in this world is unpredictable. The strength of us outsiders will be suppressed and will grow stronger over time. We may not be able to suppress the local beings of the same level. Only after becoming gods can we be free from such restrictions."

His gaze swept over the four people, finally settling on Gu Yuena: "I wish to find a secluded place to undergo my tribulation, and I need the four of you to protect me, to shield me from outside prying eyes, and especially... to avoid attracting the attention of those ' Demon God ' of this realm."

"I learned of a location from that Demon Race's memories. It's situated at Earth Vein Node, where the energy is disordered, which can interfere with celestial observation to some extent, making it suitable for seclusion."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "Indeed, this place is not suitable for lingering. The spatial fluctuations and the fall of that Demon Race just now might attract the attention of powerful Demon Race."

Without further ado, the five of them, guided by Gu Yuena, transformed into five Daoliu and vanished instantly, speeding towards a desolate and treacherous mountain range deep within the continent.

The place Yu Yuanchen sought was a desolate land known as the "Meteor Mountain Range." Legend has it that in ancient times, a star fell here, creating countless deep valleys and ravines, causing the geomagnetic field to become chaotic and the energy to become violent, making it difficult for ordinary creatures to approach.

At the heart of the mountain range stands a Lone Peak, its entire body jet black, as if scorched by heavenly fire, piercing the clouds—an ideal place to transcend tribulation.

Upon reaching the summit of the Lone Peak, Yu Yuanchen sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, and began to adjust his state. He slowly harmonized the surging Blood Essence and qi, the vast Soul Power, and the boundless Spiritual Power of the Spirit Origin Realm within his body, bringing them to a perfect balance. Within his dantian, the "Spirit Origin Core," which had begun to condense, emitted a warm yet powerful fluctuation, like a star about to give birth to New Life.

Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Di Tian, and Gu Yuena stood at the four corners of the Lone Peak, each releasing a powerful aura that enveloped the entire mountain.

The Holy Light of Qian Daoliu, the Haotian Battle Intent of Tang Chen's Haotian, the Dark Dragon Might of Di Tian, and the Ethereal Silver Light of Gu Yuena —four forces of vastly different natures intertwined, isolating the inner and outer auras and making it difficult for outsiders to discern the true nature of this place.

A day passes quietly by.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the haze and shone upon the Lone Peak peak, Yu Yuanchen's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!

Boom--!!!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure erupted from him, soaring into the sky! The barrier that had been covering the mountain trembled violently, as if it could not withstand this sudden, overwhelming Heaven and Earth's Might!

Above the heavens, the Wind and Clouds suddenly changed! Endless dark clouds gathered from all directions, churning and surging, instantly turning the sky for hundreds of miles around inky black! Within the clouds, there was no ordinary lightning, but terrifying Electric Snakes of seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—that swirled, collided, and merged wildly! Destruction aura pressed down from the sky, causing powerful Magic Beast hundreds of miles away to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear!

Seven-Colored Heavenly Tribulation!

The Tribulation of Becoming a God has arrived!

"It's here!" Qian Daoliu and the other three had extremely solemn expressions, doing their best to maintain the barrier to prevent the aura of the Tribulation Lightning from leaking out too early and causing unnecessary trouble. But they all knew in their hearts that Heavenly Tribulation of this scale could not be completely concealed, and they could only try to delay the time.

Yu Yuanchen stood up, looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with no fear, only boundless fighting spirit and anticipation! He had waited for this day for far too long!

"Come on! Let me see just how powerful this so-called God Tribulation truly is!"

He roared loudly, his voice shaking the surrounding area! His body erupted with Purple-Gold Thunder Divine Essence, holding nothing back! A simple Battle Armor formed from Thunder Divine Essence covered his entire Battle Armor, with countless fine Thunder Runes flowing across it, radiating an aura of immortality. His aura surged, instantly breaking through the limits of the mortal realm, triggering a violent reaction from the laws of heaven and earth!

Boom!

The first Tribulation Lightning finally struck! It was a terrifying bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket and as red as blood, seemingly formed from molten lava. It carried the intense heat and Destruction will to burn across the entire world, tearing through the sky and striking directly at Yu Yuanchen's head!

"Break!"

Yu Yuanchen neither dodged nor evaded, but clenched his right fist and unleashed a simple punch! On the tip of his fist, the Purple-Gold Thunder Divine Essence was highly condensed, transforming into a lifelike Purple-Gold Thunder Dragon, roaring and soaring upwards against the heavens!

Boom--!!!

The crimson Tribulation Lightning and the Purple-Gold Thunder Dragon collided violently! The blinding light instantly engulfed everything, and the terrifying energy shockwave spread out in a ring, instantly vaporizing the rocks around the Lone Peak! The entire mountain shook violently!

As the light faded, Yu Yuanchen stood as steady as a mountain, his body crackling with lightning, completely unharmed! He had forcefully shattered the first Tribulation Lightning with absolute power!

However, the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to be enraged, and the dark clouds churned even more violently! The second and third bolts of Tribulation Lightning struck down one after another! The orange Tribulation Lightning contained the sharpness of Geng metal, while the yellow Tribulation Lightning carried the weight of the earth, with their power increasing layer by layer!

Yu Yuanchen was filled with fighting spirit, using fists, palms, fingers, and swords to fully demonstrate his understanding of the Thunder Law and the True Meaning of Martial Dao! The Purple-Gold Thunder Divine Essence in his hands was ever-changing, sometimes fierce and unparalleled, sometimes flexible and enduring, either dispersing, guiding, or devouring and refining the Tribulation Lightning!

His body crackled and popped under the baptism of the Tribulation Lightning. Every inch of his flesh, every wisp of his Soul Power, and every strand of his Spiritual Power was being frantically tempered and purified by the violent Thunder Power! Impurities were expelled, and his essence was being sublimated!

The fourth green Tribulation Lightning contained boundless Life Force, yet concealed a desolate and deadly intent! The fifth cyan Tribulation Lightning was as swift as the wind, penetrating everywhere! The sixth blue Tribulation Lightning was extremely yin and cold, freezing the soul!

Yu Yuanchen's situation began to become more difficult. Cracks appeared on his Battle Armor, and pale golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. But his eyes remained sharp, and his "Spirit Origin Core" was operating wildly, continuously providing pure Divine Essence to repair his injuries and strengthen himself.

He was not only enduring the Tribulation Lightning, but also using its power to complete the final leap in his Life level! His physical body was transforming into a true "Divine Body," his Soul Power was transforming into a higher level of "Divine Power," and his Spiritual Power was sublimating into a "Divine Sense" that transcended the mortal realm!

"The final layer, the seven colors united as one!"

Above the sky, in the center of the dark clouds, the seven colors of lightning—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—finally merged completely, transforming into Destruction Light Pillar as thick as an arm, yet condensed to the extreme, radiating a seven-colored, glazed luster, its interior seemingly containing the scenes of the Life and Death of heaven and earth! The pillar of light locked onto Yu Yuanchen, carrying the supreme will to judge all living beings and reshape the universe, and slowly pressed down!

Wherever it passed, space vanished silently, leaving behind trails of pitch black!

The power of this strike exceeds the sum of all the previous ones!

Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Di Tian's expressions changed drastically, and even Gu Yuena's eyes became completely serious! This attack had truly touched the realm of God Level!

Yu Yuanchen took a deep breath, feeling unprecedented pressure, but even more so, excitement! He slowly raised his hands, forming a complex and ancient hand seal in front of his chest. The Spirit Origin Core within his dantian shone brightly, resonating strongly with the nascent Prototype of the Thunder God Position that he was initially repairing!

A Purple-Gold seal, seemingly formed from the condensation of countless Thunder Law, emerged from his palm. It swelled in the wind, growing to the size of a mountain. Countless Thunder Dragon coiled at the bottom of the seal, radiating a magnificent Divine Might that commanded all thunder and wielded heavenly punishment!

However, just as the Destruction Thunder Seal was about to collide with the Seven-Colored Unified Tribulation Lightning, another unexpected event occurred!

Buzz--!

A clear, resonant Dragon Roar echoed from Yu Yuanchen's back! A bolt of purplish -Purple Gold Lightning, refined to its utmost, burst forth from his body like a sleeping True Dragon awakening! The lightning surged against the wind, instantly transforming into a peerless divine spear, about twelve feet long, its entire body flowing with Purple-Gold Lightning, a lifelike Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon around its shaft, and a cold glint at its tip that seemed capable of piercing the void!

External Soul Bone - Thunder Dragon Spear!

This Dragon Spear, which had accompanied Yu Yuanchen's growth, gone through countless battles, and had long been connected with his mind and become one with him, spontaneously revived the moment it sensed that its master was facing the ultimate test and was drawing upon the deepest Origin Power within him, bursting forth with unprecedented brilliance and fighting spirit!

"Old friend, can't wait any longer?" Yu Yuanchen's eyes flashed with brilliant light, and he laughed loudly. With a clench of his right hand, the Thunder Dragon Spear fell into his palm as if it had a mind of its own!

With the gun in hand, man and weapon became one! Yu Yuanchen's aura surged once more, as if resonating with the Thunder Law of the entire world! He was no longer merely a passive bearer of the Heavenly Tribulation, but more like a Thunder God wielding divine punishment, actively confronting the Destruction thunder!

"Destruction Thunder Seal, suppress!"

"Thunder Dragon Spear, break!"

With his left hand, Yu Yuanchen held up the mountain-like Destruction Thunder Seal, fiercely facing the slowly descending seven-colored pillar of light! With his right hand, he gripped the Thunder Dragon Spear, moving with the spear, transforming into a Purple-Gold bolt that tore through the heavens and earth, actively piercing the core of the Destruction Light Pillar!

Rumble--!!!!

An indescribable, terrifying explosion erupted atop the heavens! The Destruction Thunder Seal and the Seven-Colored Light Pillar collided violently, like two ancient divine mountains clashing, unleashing an energy surge capable of annihilating everything! Immediately following, the Purple-Gold lightning bolt formed by Yu Yuanchen's fusion of man and spear, like the sharpest drill bit, pierced with unparalleled precision into the center of the explosion, the very core of the Seven-Colored Light Pillar, where energy was most concentrated!

Click--!

A sound like shattering glass rang out! The Destruction Light Pillar, which contained the ultimate power of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Tribulation, was actually pierced through by the Thunder Dragon Spear! Endless Destruction energy poured out from it!

"Swallow it!"

Yu Yuanchen roared, his countless pores opening wide, his Thunder Divine Essence circulating to its limit, frantically devouring the pure Tribulation Lightning power that had been torn apart and scattered by the Dragon Spear! Although this power was violent, it was the most primordial manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth, a supreme treasure for tempering the Divine Body and condensing Divine Power!

His body trembled violently as he absorbed the energy, his skin cracked, and pale golden blood seeped out continuously. But it healed and reformed instantly under the stimulation of the Tribulation Lightning, becoming Hair Crystal and radiating an immortal Divinity brilliance! The Spirit Origin Core within his dantian spun wildly, its volume shrinking continuously, but its light grew ever brighter and its texture ever more solid, transforming into a true "Spirit Core"!

However, the power of the Seven-Colored Unified Tribulation Lightning was truly terrifying! Even though it was pierced by the Thunder Dragon Spear and even though part of it was absorbed by Yu Yuanchen, the remaining energy was still like a bursting dam, frantically impacting his body and soul!

The Destruction Thunder Seal let out a mournful cry, its surface cracking! The Thunder Dragon Spear also trembled violently, the illusory Thunder Dragon on its body dimming slightly! Pale golden Divine Blood gushed from Yu Yuanchen's seven orifices, making him look utterly miserable!

But the light in his eyes was like a blazing sun, showing no sign of retreat! He gritted his teeth, pouring all his will and all his strength into this one person, this seal, and this spear, waging the most brutal tug-of-war with the Destruction Tribulation Lightning!

Success or failure hinges on this!
