Dao Lotus Ascends in Grade, Supreme Treasure Lightning Tribulation

If other Innate Divine Demons obtained this Law Seed of Yin-Yang, even if they were of the same origin, they would likely only have the option to refine and devour it. But East King Duke was different.

Or rather, he had other options, and possibly better ones than refining the Law Seed himself.

It wasn't that he possessed any special means to utilize it. In reality, it was entirely because of his spiritual treasure, the Twelve-grade Yin-Yang Innate Dao Lotus, which he had first obtained from the Lotus Pond on Mount Fang Island. It possessed unparalleled defense and aided in enlightenment.

This Dao Lotus had achieved the rank of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure through the Yin-Yang Two Qi. It was perfectly compatible with the Chaos Yin-Yang Law. If the Law Seed were refined into the Dao Lotus, because the lotus platform had the function of aiding enlightenment, he could also use it to cultivate the Yin-Yang Law.

Moreover, there was another point: the Law Seed of Yin-Yang was a Chaos Dao Seed. It was highly likely to help the Twelve-grade Yin-Yang Dao Lotus ascend in grade, thereby birthing an Innate Supreme Treasure.

The importance of a Supreme Treasure was self-evident. Furthermore, this lotus platform was a treasure compatible with him and could serve as his Dao-achieving treasure. At the very least, even if it couldn't become a Supreme Treasure, its power as a spiritual treasure would greatly increase.

This was a matter of achieving multiple goals with one action. East King Duke had no reason to hesitate.

After weighing the options, he quickly made his decision. Without delay, he released his Supreme Yang Immortal Power, enveloped the Law Seed, and slowly sent it into the origin of the Dao Lotus.

Perhaps it was due to compatible items, whether it was the spiritual treasure Dao Lotus or the Law Seed of Yin-Yang, neither showed any resistance. They quickly attracted each other, but although the Dao Seed had entered, its origin had not yet merged, meaning it was not complete.

Having absorbed the Law Seed, the Twelve-grade Yin-Yang Dao Lotus could indeed absorb it slowly. However, the time it would take for it to absorb it on its own was too long, not achievable within one or two Yuan Hui. East King Duke clearly did not wish to wait that long. Thus, there was another method: to refine it with pháp lực, assisting the Dao Lotus in refining the Law.

This was precisely what East King Duke was doing at this moment.

In the Supreme Yang Dao Palace, the Twelve-grade Innate Yin-Yang Dao Lotus hovered in mid-air, slowly rotating, emitting Yin-Yang Two Qi and radiating a profound, subtle light. East King Duke sat cross-legged on a Cloud Bed, continuously releasing streams of Supreme Yang Immortal Power from his hands.

Year after year, the Law Seed was refined bit by bit, integrating into the origin of the Twelve-grade Innate Yin-Yang Dao Lotus, and the spiritual treasure's power gradually increased.

The innate spiritual light around the lotus platform grew stronger and stronger, with strands of Dao Rhyme appearing and disappearing. As the refinement deepened, the Dao Lotus became increasingly imbued with Dao Intent, and the Yin-Yang Law could be faintly seen manifesting.

East King Duke diligently assisted in refining the Law. After a full ten thousand years, suddenly, within the Twelve-grade Innate Yin-Yang Dao Lotus, which originally had forty-two restrictions, new innate restrictions slowly began to emerge. This was the result of absorbing the Dao Seed: forty-three, forty-four... forty-seven, forty-eight!

Reaching forty-eight innate restrictions was the limit for a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Forty-nine would make it a Supreme Treasure. At this point, the last trace of the Dao Seed was completely refined. The spiritual treasure formation immediately trembled, evolving with vibrant life. The Dao Lotus, which was already at the peak of Twelve-grade Primordial lotus-type treasures, actually began to ascend in grade.

Thirteenth grade, fourteenth grade... seventeenth grade. After completing the eighteenth grade, the innate restrictions also began to evolve. The original Twelve-grade Innate Yin-Yang Dao Lotus officially began to impact the grade of a Supreme Treasure.

A full hundred years later, the forty-ninth innate restriction was carved. The moment it finished evolving, suddenly, outside Mount Fang Island, high above the Nine Heavens, thunder roared.

The Innate Yin-Yang Dao Lotus, already at the eighteenth grade, automatically broke free from control and flew directly out of the Dao Palace.

East King Duke's expression changed, and he vanished from his spot, following it.

He saw the Dao Lotus now suspended in mid-air, emitting boundless Yin-Yang Dao Intent.

And in the sky, thunderclouds descended continuously from the Nine Heavens, gathering more and more, shrouding the sky above Mount Fang Island. Lightning of various colors darted through the thunderclouds, seemingly accumulating power, preparing to unleash a destructive force.

The thunder grew louder and louder, stirring the Earth Vein of Mount Fang Island. The entire immortal island began to tremble incessantly, even affecting the entire East Sea Region.

All living beings in the East Sea were shocked, looking in the direction of Mount Fang Island.

"Supreme Yang Dao Lord is truly a mighty being. With such power, only such a Great Supernatural Being could evoke it."

Everyone in the East Sea knew of the Supreme Yang Dao Lord's power. Even with this celestial phenomenon, no one dared to pry.

At this moment, East King Duke's expression was solemn. He knew that the tribulation clouds in the sky were targeting his Dao Lotus Spiritual Treasure. It was the lightning tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao when a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure advanced to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

As long as it survived this tribulation, it would become another Innate Supreme Treasure in the Great Desolation. Moreover, this Dao Lotus was already among the top-tier supreme treasures. If it failed to survive, it might not even be able to retain its rank as a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and could even be annihilated.

"Nine-Nine Great Heavenly Tribulation!"

East King Duke's face turned grim. He hadn't expected the Dao Lotus's advancement to trigger such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation. What made him feel most helpless was that cultivators could not interfere at all when a spiritual treasure underwent tribulation.

It all depended on the Dao Lotus's own fortune.

At this moment, the tribulation lightning in the sky had also finished brewing.

"Crack!"

The first bolt of Heavenly Lightning struck the Dao Lotus, but it remained motionless.

The Twelfth-grade Innate Yin-Yang Dao Lotus was already extraordinary, and it had now advanced to the Eighteenth Grade, protected by the Forty-nine Restrictions, making it difficult to harm.

The second bolt!

The third bolt!

It wasn't until the sixth bolt of Heavenly Lightning struck that the lotus platform trembled, Yin-Yang Qi surged outwards, consuming some Innate Qi.

The seventh tribulation lightning was deep red, carrying immense destructive power as it descended. With a "boom," it shattered the protective barrier released by the lotus platform, stirring up waves of incredibly fierce Gale Wind that swept towards them.

East King Duke quickly summoned two Five Elements Banners to protect the Spiritual Root Grass and Trees on the peak of Supreme Yang Mountain.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation showed no signs of stopping. The eighth bolt of purple tribulation lightning descended immediately, striking the Dao Lotus and causing it to fall to the ground, becoming extremely weak.

East King Duke's heart was filled with anxiety, but soon, the lotus platform flew up again.

At this moment, the power of the final lightning tribulation had reached its peak, and it was still accumulating energy. The tribulation clouds gathered and were absorbed, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also siphoned in, transforming into a colossal golden tribulation lightning.

This tribulation lightning was terrifying, as if it carried the power to destroy everything, making one dare not look directly at it. The lightning crackled and flashed intensely, illuminating the four seas.

Sensing the might of this final Nine-Nine Tribulation Lightning, the Dao Lotus seemed unafraid. It displayed an unyielding will and moved forward to meet it.

As if provoked, the tribulation lightning furiously struck down. The already weakened Dao Lotus suddenly released streams of Yin-Yang Two Qi, transforming into boundless Yin-Yang Dharma Lotuses.

Although this final golden tribulation lightning was fierce, the Yin-Yang Two Qi was profound, and the Chaos Top-tier Law was not ordinary. A total of eighty-one Yin-Yang Lotus Flowers resisted, gradually neutralizing the might of this tribulation lightning.

The tribulation clouds dispersed, and the sky regained its clarity. Suddenly, a surge of Mysterious Yellow Power descended, landing on the Dao Lotus. This was the first Innate Spiritual Treasure in the Great Desolation to advance to a Supreme Treasure, and it was naturally bestowed with merit. Instantly, the lotus petals glowed, emitting a fragrant aroma. The Yin-Yang Qi surged, manifesting two Auspicious Beasts that cried out in unison towards the heavens.

Ten thousand flowers bloomed on the peak of Supreme Yang Mountain, and the grass and trees were imbued with spiritual energy. The entire pond of lotus flowers beside it unexpectedly transformed into Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The phenomenon enveloped the entire Supreme Yang Mountain. After a short while, it was all absorbed by the lotus platform. The Yin-Yang Dao Lotus, having achieved the Eighteenth Grade, had its power contained, carrying boundless Yin-Yang Dao Intent, and landed in East King Duke's hand.

Thus, this Supreme Treasure was achieved!
