Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Tribulation, Ten Thousand Thunder Tribulation Tempering the Body, Breaking Through to Late-Stage Divine Bridge Realm

Jun Xiaoyao was only ten years old, yet he was already a ninth-level True Spirit Realm expert, enough to shake all directions.

But now, seeing Jun Xiaoyao's aura rise once more, everyone present was dumbfounded, staring with their mouths agape.

Was he breaking through again?

"This is bad. Could this be the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Tribulation?" Jun Zhantian raised his head toward the rolling black clouds overhead, his brows knitting.

Ordinary cultivators would not face any heavenly tribulation when breaking through from the True Spirit Realm to the Divine Bridge Realm.

But the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was different.

This physique was intolerable to heaven and earth. Apart from being born with ten shackles restraining it—

Whenever the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body made a major leap in cultivation, heaven would send down tribulation and punishment.

And the leap from the True Spirit Realm to the Divine Bridge Realm was precisely such a major threshold.

Seeing this scene, it was not only Jun Zhantian; the other guests noticed it as well.

"Could that be... the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Tribulation?"

"That's right. Rumor has it that whenever the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body crosses a major realm, it draws a heavenly tribulation. The Jun Family Divine Son is in some trouble now."

For cultivators, the thing they feared most was undergoing tribulation.

One careless misstep, and they would die and vanish, with right and wrong, success and failure all turning to emptiness in the blink of an eye.

And for a physique like the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, the heavenly tribulation it drew was even stronger than ordinary tribulations.

Ordinary prodigies might not even withstand a single strike.

"Xiaoyao, do not worry. Your grandfather and the others will protect your path!"

Jun Zhantian and a group of clan elders stepped forward, radiating the aura of Sage Realm great cultivators.

In the past, quite a few factions had attempted to nurture a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

And whenever a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body underwent tribulation, a group of powerful experts would protect its path and assist it in passing the heavenly tribulation.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao's handsome, immortal-like face remained calm as still water, his eyes without the slightest ripple.

"Grandfather, there is no need. A mere heavenly tribulation is hardly worth mentioning. Let your grandson handle it alone..."

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Jun Zhantian and the others were all stunned.

The expressions of the many cultivators around them froze as well.

At that very moment, the thunder tribulation finally transformed into a flood of lightning and descended!

That terrifying tribulation pressure made one's hair stand on end!

Jun Xiaoyao stood in the void, his black hair like satin, flowing with divine radiance as it fluttered in the wind.

His white robes were like snow, their sleeves drifting. He resembled an exiled immortal about to ride the wind away.

Jun Xiaoyao raised one hand, and the Hell Furnace manifested once more.

The flood of lightning crashed directly into the Hell Furnace.

In an instant, Jun Xiaoyao's body trembled.

Within him, boundless golden blood energy surged skyward. A golden phantom of a Primordial Divine Elephant suddenly appeared, carrying a vast and majestic force capable of suppressing all heavens and earth!

Its trunk sucked toward the sky, drawing the rolling thunder into Jun Xiaoyao's body.

"Ten Thousand Thunder Tribulation, forge for me an immortal sacred body!"

Not only did Jun Xiaoyao not fear the thunder tribulation, he instead used it as a means to temper his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

Rumble!

Lightning continued to fall, yet it could not harm Jun Xiaoyao. At most, it merely forced him back.

"This... he's simply a monster..." The people from the various factions were rendered speechless.

Which prodigy did not tremble with fear while undergoing tribulation, terrified of perishing?

Yet Jun Xiaoyao treated the heavenly tribulation as nourishment, hammering and refining himself with it.

"Alas, it seems I still underestimated Xiaoyao..." Jun Zhantian and the clan elders all shook their heads with bitter smiles.

At times, Jun Xiaoyao's talent gave even these Sage Realm great cultivators the feeling that their Dao hearts were collapsing.

If even they felt this way, one could well imagine the feelings of the young prodigies who had come to the banquet.

"I feel like I'll never catch up to the Jun Family Divine Son in my entire life..."

"Indeed. This great age of contention seems to be a stage for the Jun Family Divine Son alone..."

The top prodigies from certain great factions all spoke this way, cracks beginning to appear in their Dao hearts.

In the end, the thunder tribulation could do nothing to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Disperse!"

Jun Xiaoyao pushed forward with one palm. The phantom of the Primordial Divine Elephant raised its head and let out a long roar, sending the thunder rolling back into the heavens and shattering the black tribulation clouds that filled the sky!

At last, light returned to heaven and earth.

And Jun Xiaoyao's gains were equally gratifying.

First, his cultivation had broken through to the Divine Bridge Realm. Not only that, he had directly advanced to the late stage of the Divine Bridge Realm.

The Divine Bridge Realm was divided into the early stage, middle stage, late stage, and great perfection.

Once one reached great perfection, the divine bridge within one's body would be successfully constructed.

After that came the Unity Realm, where spirit and flesh merged into one, perfectly harmonized and unified.

Then came the search for Dao seeds, immortal seeds, and the like, which were integrated into one's body. This was called Dao Integration.

After Dao Integration came the Nirvana Realm, where one sought a source of fire to baptize the Divine Palace within the mind, transforming True Spirit into Primordial Spirit.

After Nirvana, one's strength would surge dramatically, reaching the Heaven-Through Realm.

Finally, one ignited Divine Fire and opened the stairway leading to the Sage Realm.

Divine Bridge, Unity, Dao Integration, Nirvana, Heaven-Through, Divine Fire!

These were the cultivation realms of the middle stages.

Beyond them lay the levels of the Sage Realm.

And Jun Xiaoyao, only ten years old, had already reached the late stage of the Divine Bridge Realm. He was unquestionably a monstrous genius.

Normally, prodigies his age were still lingering around the Divine Palace Realm and the True Spirit Realm.

Even Long Haotian had only barely entered the Divine Bridge Realm by relying on the power of Dragon Essence.

Aside from his realm, Jun Xiaoyao had awakened another ten thousand Divine Elephant Particles within his body by drawing upon the power of the thunder tribulation and the Dragon Essence.

In other words, Jun Xiaoyao's physical strength had now reached a full five hundred million jin!

It was simply horrifying!

An ordinary prodigy's physical strength would reach at most several hundred thousand jin.

Even those top-tier prodigies possessed only several million or ten-odd million jin of strength.

Jun Xiaoyao possessed a full five hundred million jin of divine strength.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao discovered that the Supreme Bone in his chest was also absorbing the power of the heavenly tribulation and the Dragon Essence.

"It seems Heaven's Tribulation Light is not the complete form of this divine ability. I'll need to find ways to nourish this bone further in the future," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

Like the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, the Supreme Bone possessed limitless potential and would accompany Jun Xiaoyao all the way.

But likewise, these two special physiques required all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures for nourishment.

They were practically two bottomless pits.

"Fortunately, I was born into an ancient desolate aristocratic family. Had I been born into some minor family, resources alone would have left me stretched thin, let alone cultivation."

Jun Xiaoyao could not help sighing once more. Being reincarnated truly was an art.

"Right, I nearly forgot about the flesh of that Quasi-Supreme," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

"Here, Brother Xiaoyao, eat dragon meat!" Jiang Luoli was exquisitely spirited and graceful, wisdom light flowing across her snow-white forehead. She was very clever and had been observing Jun Xiaoyao all along.

At this moment, she brought over a plate of roasted dragon meat and held it out before Jun Xiaoyao. Blinking her bright, watery eyes, she wore an expression that seemed to say she was being very obedient.

"Thank you." Jun Xiaoyao nodded faintly.

Even the way he ate was more composed and elegant than Jiang Luoli's.

It had to be said that the life essence within Quasi-Supreme-level dragon meat was simply astonishing. The Supreme Bone in his chest was also absorbing it frantically.

Jun Xiaoyao was also greatly anticipating the day his Supreme Bone transformed.

Heaven's Tribulation Light alone was already so formidable.

If it transformed again, just how powerful would his Supreme Bone become?

"After checking in at the Tenth Birthday Banquet, the next check-in will be at Yuantian Supreme's Secret Treasury. It seems I should begin making preparations afterward," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

The check-in rewards were truly abundant. The Great Accomplishment Ancient Desolate Sacred Physique, the Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force, and the Supreme Bone had all been of immense help to him.

Jun Xiaoyao was very curious about what reward he would receive by checking in at the Yuantian Supreme Secret Realm.

"And that Xiao Chen—who knows whether he still has any value for me to harvest," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

After the Tenth Birthday Banquet, Jun Xiaoyao could finally enter the world and travel through the Immortal Domain.

He was also greatly looking forward to this vast and boundless Immortal Domain.

"In this great age of contention, I hope you will not bore me too much..." Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back and sighed toward the sky.

He truly had the feeling that invincibility was lonely.
