Three-Star Dou Venerate Cultivation!

The appearance of the Soul Dragon drew the attention of the two ancient magical beast Ancestral Souls. In just a moment, they both clearly sensed the overwhelming danger the Soul Dragon posed to them.

Thus, these two beings—absolute mortal enemies, one could say—actually joined forces to deal with the Soul Dragon first for the sake of their own survival.

This sight made Hun Tianchen sigh.

Before a powerful enemy, no matter what kind of relationship people had shared before, they would join forces against the strong enemy when their own survival was at stake.

The power of the Ancient Heaven Phoenix and Ancient Void Dragon Ancestral Souls was far too formidable, making it difficult for Hun Tianchen to turn them into part of his own strength.

Since he had just consumed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, he had to maximize its effects!

"All of you, become my strength!" Hun Tianchen controlled the Soul Dragon as it battled the Ancient Heaven Phoenix and Ancient Void Dragon within his body.

Although these two ancient magical beasts were extremely powerful, as time passed, their strength gradually weakened.

Whenever they were bitten or even grazed by the Soul Dragon, a portion of their power and their remaining pure bloodline power would be siphoned away.

Over time, the Ancestral Soul power of the Ancient Heaven Phoenix and Ancient Void Dragon slowly became part of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, maximizing its effects.

"Condense!"

Hun Tianchen shut his eyes tightly and controlled the Soul Dragon within his body, merging the two powers together while continuing to digest the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit's energy.

Gradually, the Soul Dragon within his body finally began to change. Its jet-black dragon body slowly transformed into a dark purplish-gold color, making it appear even nobler.

The transformation began at the center of its body and slowly spread throughout its entire form.

The Soul Dragon's aura changed bit by bit. It not only gained the appearance of an Ancient Void Dragon, but also the abilities of an Ancient Heaven Phoenix. The three had effectively merged into one.

That immense power coursed through Hun Tianchen's entire body, cleansing all his meridians and allowing his Dou Qi to circulate faster, while increasing his Dou Qi reserves once more.

As he opened his mouth and inhaled, all the natural energy in the surroundings rushed into Hun Tianchen's body.

Queen Medusa, standing nearby and guarding him, watched this scene speechlessly. With just one inhale, all the natural energy within a hundred-mile radius had vanished.

"Is this guy really human? Does breaking through to a Three-Star Dou Venerate require this much energy?" Queen Medusa's mouth had not stopped twitching.

Her breathtakingly beautiful face had already gone numb.

Well, if anyone else had stayed beside Hun Tianchen for long enough, they probably would have gotten used to it.

This guy had become so monstrous that he was beyond comparison with any human.

The energy required for him to break through to a Three-Star Dou Venerate was no different from breaking through to a Dou Saint.

A Dou Venerate on the surface, but with the actual combat strength of a Dou Saint?

Queen Medusa felt that her entire worldview had been overturned.

After devouring all the natural energy he had absorbed, Hun Tianchen felt that with a single thought, he could successfully break through to a Three-Star Dou Venerate.

"It's time."

His cultivation foundation was incomparably solid. This was precisely the right time to break through to a Three-Star Dou Venerate!

Hun Tianchen slowly rose to his feet. Because the natural energy inside his body was too dense, he gradually floated into the air.

His eyes remained tightly shut for a long while. Even while floating in the air, Hun Tianchen was still breaking through.

"Break!"

With a thought, his Two-Star Dou Venerate cultivation suddenly surged. A massive amount of Dou Qi erupted forth, covering his entire body.

The power of the Ancient Heaven Phoenix and Ancient Void Dragon had long since become part of it, while the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was temporarily stored within Hun Tianchen's body.

The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit's power was simply too vast. Altering the Soul Dragon was only one part of its effect. Next, it would transform Hun Tianchen himself, forging an entirely new Hun Tianchen.

Once the Sacred Body Demonic Heart completely refined the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, would it evolve his physique as well?

The vast aura around him rose steadily. More noticeably, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky above Hun Tianchen, beginning to form lightning!

"Another lightning tribulation?" Queen Medusa was somewhat stunned. She had never seen anyone whose cultivation increased dramatically and yet had to undergo a lightning tribulation.

The Heavenly Jealousy Red Lightning appeared because the heavens were jealous, so what did this one mean?

Seemingly sensing the aura of the lightning tribulation, Hun Tianchen suddenly opened his eyes, revealing one golden and one dark pupil.

Due to consuming the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, his golden pupil shone even more brilliantly than before, while faint traces of purple had appeared within his dark pupil.

As Hun Tianchen opened his eyes, an invisible and majestic force tore up the surrounding terrain. Dense layers of cracks appeared, while his vast aura even formed a tornado in the sky!

The formidable cultivation of a Three-Star Dou Venerate was fully unleashed. The tornado formed from Hun Tianchen's unique aura pierced through heaven and earth, with thunderclouds accentuating even its farthest reaches in the sky.

Such a grand spectacle was seen by everyone who had entered the Ancient Ruins.

"Who is breaking through?"

"Have you ever seen someone trigger a lightning tribulation when breaking through? Other than magical beasts taking human form, it can only mean an elixir has emerged!"

"The emergence of an Eighth Grade Elixir is bound to bring a lightning tribulation. Let's go see which great expert is refining pills!"

They were all mistaken. No one was refining an elixir; Hun Tianchen was breaking through.

Looking at the pitch-black demon lightning above his head, a trace of anger flashed through Hun Tianchen's eyes.

Yet he did not lash out. He merely stepped onto the already collapsed ground and sat down cross-legged.

The thunderclouds overhead carried surging black currents. Fierce Black Demon Lightning formed within them and struck heavily down upon Hun Tianchen's head!

But Hun Tianchen did not resist, simply allowing the demon lightning to strike him.

The immense lightning energy washed over the surface of Hun Tianchen's body.

This made Queen Medusa, who had retreated far away, reveal the faintest twitch beneath her numb expression.

"He... he's taking the lightning tribulation head-on and using the lightning to temper his body?"

Not only that, beneath this infinitely powerful demon lightning, he remained completely unscathed!

Was he really a Three-Star Dou Venerate?

Judging by Queen Medusa's own senses, if that demon lightning struck her head, it would already be impressive if she could barely withstand it.

"Boom!"

Bolt after bolt of demon lightning, each as thick as the body of a Giant Dragon, formed a dazzling pillar of light as they continuously struck Hun Tianchen. Yet he could not even be bothered to move.

After nine bolts of lightning, the thunderclouds dispersed. Hun Tianchen then rose to his feet and examined his body.

His spotless white robes were not stained with the slightest trace of black. He had passed this lightning tribulation with effortless ease.

All the lightning energy inside his body was absorbed by him and gradually converted into Dou Qi.

Hun Tianchen carefully sensed the amount of Dou Qi stored within his body.

Simply put, even newly advanced first- or second-turn Dou Venerates might not possess as much Dou Qi as he did.

"So this is the strength of a Three-Star Dou Venerate?" Hun Tianchen was extremely satisfied. But when he checked the remaining Luck Force he currently possessed, his face darkened, and he cursed without the slightest decorum.

"Fuck!"
