It was as if their bloodline had been absolutely suppressed. Before them, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's bloodline seemed utterly insignificant, as though it had become an extremely weak creature.
"The Nine Great Dragon Kings truly are extraordinary. Before them, the bloodline of my Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is simply not worth mentioning." Ye Wen's heart could not calm down for a long time.
Looking at the bodies, which showed almost no signs of decay, he found it unbelievable. "They've been dead for so long, yet their flesh has never turned to bone. Is it because of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
"There's still immense energy on their bodies—even divine power!"
Ye Wen slowly approached and discovered that the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's Corpses were still emitting Dragon Clan divine power and residual energy.
An incredibly insane thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Devour them!
That's right!
Eat the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's Corpses!
The reason the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had cultivated for nearly a million years was actually because, in its later years, it had devoured countless Sea Soul Beasts, allowing it to grow so quickly.
"If I devour the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's Corpses, perhaps I'll directly break through the shackles of a Million Year Cultivation and become a god in an instant! Step into the God-tier!" Ye Wen was incomparably excited.
In truth, one could break through to a Million Year Cultivation and become a god even without a Divine Seat. It merely meant one did not possess a Divine Seat. Such gods were not considered true gods, only beings who had reached the God-tier. (Refer to the Million-Year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.)
However, such a breakthrough was basically impossible for both humans and soul beasts because they were suppressed by the plane.
But now, before his eyes lay the bodies of two sons of the Ancient Dragon God—the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. Perhaps he truly could step into the God-tier!
"Eat them! Eat them!!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's voice seemed to echo in Ye Wen's mind again, carrying its longing for Becoming a God.
"Shut up!!"
Ye Wen tried to silence the voice in his mind, then began seriously considering whether to devour them.
After a long while, he finally made his decision.
He decided to devour the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King!
He opened his enormous whale maw and, without hesitation, clamped down hard on the Fire Dragon King's body first. With one bite, he tore off a large chunk of flesh and swallowed it. Terrifying God-tier energy churned within him!
He no longer hesitated and began rapidly devouring the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.
Breaking through to the God-tier without a Divine Seat only meant that one's body, spirit, and strength had reached the God-tier. Without a Divine Seat, one could not ascend to the God Realm. It was precisely because he could not ascend to the God Realm that Ye Wen had decided to devour the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.
He had no desire to go to the God Realm right now. If he went there, he would probably be targeted by a bunch of Human Deities, or even killed!
Devour!
He began devouring them madly.
The energy within his body grew ever more terrifying. His flesh and Spiritual Power seemed to be undergoing a transformation!
Strength!
Ye Wen could only feel the power of his body skyrocketing!
When he had completely devoured the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, a rumbling sound suddenly erupted high above.
"Hmm?"
In an instant, Ye Wen sensed an incomparably dangerous aura, a feeling as though he might die.
He looked upward, suddenly gripped by a bad premonition, and seemed to have guessed something.
"Could it be..."
Ye Wen rapidly swam upward. Before long, he reached the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, raised his head, and looked toward the sky.
At this moment, the sky was already covered in dark clouds, and daylight had long since dimmed.
Directly above him, a massive vortex swept up the dark clouds, spinning and circling through the air. Within the enormous vortex, an incomparably intense light flickered, while lightning flashed and thunder roared around it.
There was no need to think about it. Something major was about to happen.
The already-awake Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had their bodies tightly bound by special ropes. Looking at the sky and sensing the terrifying aura descending from above, their faces filled with fear.
"G-Grandpa! W-What is that?!"
"Grandpa doesn't know either!" Dugu Bo stared at the sky in terror. He had long lost his previous arrogant demeanor and now looked like a frightened little old man.
At that moment, Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, and Ye Wen all raised their heads toward the sky. At the same time, they spoke the same two words.
Heavenly Tribulation!
The Million Year Heavenly Tribulation!
Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai were both extremely wary.
Ye Wen's expression also gradually turned solemn.
As soul beasts above the Hundred Thousand Year Level, they naturally knew that if soul beasts wished to continuously break through their shackles, they had to endure Heavenly Tribulations!
The Two Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation!
The Three Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation!
Four Hundred Thousand Years!
Five hundred thousand!
Six hundred thousand!
Seven hundred thousand!
Eight hundred thousand!
Nine hundred thousand!
The final Million Year tribulation!
The higher one climbed, the more terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation they had to endure. When the Heavenly Tribulation descended, one either died or broke through their shackles and rose to a higher level!
As long as a Soul Beast survived the Heavenly Tribulation, its strength would increase drastically, allowing it to continue cultivating.
Once Ye Wen withstood this final Million Year Heavenly Tribulation, his power would directly reach the God-tier!
"Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Then bring it on!" Ye Wen roared at the sky.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
Boom! Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The next second, an unimaginably terrifying bolt of heavenly lightning finally crashed down from the enormous vortex in the sky.
Boom! Boom, boom!
Ye Wen clenched his teeth and withstood the bolt of heavenly lightning.
"Grandpa, what's happening?! Yanyan... Yanyan is so scared!!" Dugu Yan was terrified by the horrifying heavenly lightning.
Dugu Bo was scared out of his wits as well, filled with terror. Grandpa is scared toooo!
"They can't be allowed to see what comes next." Xiao Bai swiftly knocked Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan unconscious again.
Smack! Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Another bolt of heavenly lightning crashed down.
"Arghhh!"
Ye Wen let out a terrifying roar. This Million Year Heavenly Tribulation hurt even more than he had imagined!
Boom!
After the third bolt of heavenly lightning struck, they no longer came down one at a time. Instead, they fell at the rapid-fire pace of a machine gun—boom boom boom boom!
Heavenly lightning rained down wildly, bombarding Ye Wen's body.
"Arghhhhhhh~!"
"Damn, does it have to be this brutal?"
Though Ye Wen was in immense pain, he could also feel his strength growing with every strike of heavenly lightning.
The power of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King that he had devoured also seemed to be helping him withstand the heavenly lightning.
If this continued, he was very likely to succeed in overcoming the tribulation!
But at that moment, a phantom figure seemed to appear within the vast vortex!
"Wretch!"
A domineering voice rang out across heaven and earth. It came from the phantom within the vortex.
"Who are you?!" Ye Wen looked toward the sky.
"Hmph!"
"A mere beast dares dream of Becoming a God!"
"I will erase you with my divine power!"
"Wretch! Remember my name—I am the Thunder God, Lei Tianyu!"
The next second, the Thunder God fused his divine power into the Heavenly Tribulation's lightning and sent it crashing down together.
BOOM! RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE!
"Arghhhhh!" The strike was unimaginably terrifying, making Ye Wen roar in agony as if his heart and lungs were being torn apart.
He looked up at the sky, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "Does a Million Year Heavenly Tribulation require enduring a god's power too?!"
