The Third Step: Cast Aside the Self and Return to Oneness! Supreme Battle Armor!
The Dragon Valley Inheritance Space was serene, but this serenity was not peaceful; rather, it was solemn. The radiance of the Dragon Ascension Pillar enveloped the surroundings, and its nine-colored light, like a galaxy, surged with boundless energy, demonstrating the terrifying power contained within this Super Divine Artifact.
Xu Xingyu stood before the Dragon Ascension Pillar, her gaze piercing.
He has completed the first two steps of inheriting the Dragon God Divinity. The first step was to abandon his Soul Ring and forge Supreme Divine Body that transcends the mortal body. The second step was to abandon his Martial Soul and elevate his spirit to the realm of the God King.
So what exactly is the third step? He could vaguely guess that all the physical and spiritual sublimation was just to lay the foundation for the final step, which must be to completely transcend the current limit of his Divine Power from the level of First-Level God and reach the level of Supreme God King.
The last vestige of the Dragon God's will emerged from the void, its majestic voice echoing deeply into Xu Xingyu's ears. "Child, the limit of power lies not in how much you possess, but in whether you can truly control it. The Dragon Ascension Pillar contains an inexhaustible source of energy; it is not only a symbol of the Dragon Clan, but also the core I prepared for the inheritance."
"But if you cannot bear such immense power, you will only become a slave to it, not a true master."
Before the words were finished, the Dragon Ascension Pillar suddenly trembled, and its blazing light spread outwards like a raging tide, distorting the rules of the entire space.
This force seemed poised to tear the heavens and earth apart completely.
Xu Xingyu took a deep breath, a sense of unwavering determination welling up within him. He understood that this would be an unprecedented test, but to uphold his beliefs and to protect those who mattered to him, he would never back down.
He looked up at the radiant top of the Dragon Ascension Pillar and said in a deep voice, "Come! No matter how long and painful it may be, I will complete it!" As his voice fell, the energy of the Dragon Ascension Pillar surged into his body like a flood bursting its banks.
In an instant, Xu Xingyu felt an unbearable tearing sensation, a pain as if a thousand sharp blades were simultaneously slicing through his flesh and bones, every inch of his meridians trembling under the impact of this vast energy.
His divine body was constantly being reshaped amidst excruciating pain, seemingly on the verge of collapse, yet it was rapidly repaired by his powerful life force.
Cold sweat streamed down his face and dripped onto the ground beneath his feet.
His fists were clenched so tightly that his fingernails pierced his palms, and blood stained the rocks beneath him, but his eyes still shone with unwavering determination, as if the excruciating pain could not make him flinch in the slightest.
The Dragon God God's will resounded once more, deep yet full of warning. "Control this energy! Don't rush things, or your foundation will be unstable. Only by absorbing it little by little and completely mastering it can you truly step into the realm of the Supreme God King." Xu Xingyu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and banished all distracting thoughts.
He began to focus on guiding the energy within the Dragon Ascension Pillar, gradually transforming the originally volatile energy into a gentle stream of light, which then merged into his flesh and soul.
Although his divine body had long been tempered and reached the level of Supreme God King, it still appeared extremely fragile in the face of the almost inexhaustible energy of the Dragon Ascension Pillar.
Whenever the energy surged like thunder into his heart and dantian, he felt as if his internal organs were burning, as if he would be completely torn apart by this force at any moment.
Veins bulged on her forehead Xu Xingyu endured the excruciating pain, clenching her teeth and refusing to back down in the slightest.
He knew all too well that if he could not withstand the power of the Dragon Ascension Pillar, then only Destruction and failure awaited him.
Just as that energy was about to break through the last line of defense in his body, the Divine Sense at the Supreme God King level in his soul suddenly started to operate, transforming into countless fine threads that rapidly spread throughout his body.
These Divine Sense, like an intricately woven net, firmly bound the surging, violent energy.
Xu Xingyu clearly saw in his consciousness that the invisible energy flowed like a flood, and his Divine Sense threads acted like a dam, guiding that power to all parts of his body, slowly but steadily merging into his flesh and bones.
Whenever energy attempted to break through the dam, his Divine Sense would quickly adjust and suppress it again.
His meridians and dantian seemed to be divided into countless small spaces, each with its energy flow rate and volume precisely controlled, ensuring neither overload nor waste.
Nevertheless, controlling these violent forces was still like walking on thin ice. His Divine Sense was almost constantly overloaded, having to fight against the ever-increasing energy every moment.
A faint, stabbing pain emanated from the depths of his soul, a sign of overexertion.
However, Xu Xingyu's gaze remained unwavering. He understood that this was not merely a forging of strength, but also an ultimate test of his will and character.
It was a long and tedious process, but Xu Xingyu was not impatient at all, because he knew that only by taking steady steps could he truly embark on the path to the highest level.
Time loses its meaning within the space of inheritance.
The energy of the Dragon Ascension Pillar was as vast as the ocean, but Xu Xingyu's absorption process was like a drop of water flowing into the sea, slow and steady. However, as the energy was gradually absorbed, the power within his body began to undergo miraculous changes.
Stars, thunder, elements, time, space, destiny... the various powers he possessed gradually merged under the guidance of the Dragon Ascension Pillar's energy, blurring the boundaries between them, as if moving towards some ultimate form.
At the same time, his Battle Armor, Vermilion Heaven Star Sea Emperor Hazy Moon, also began to undergo a transformation.
This Battle Armor, which embodies countless efforts of his, gradually merged with the Dragon God Avatar Bone Armor formed from the dragon bones he forged himself, and its originally dazzling metallic luster was replaced by nine-colored light.
Xu Xingyu could clearly feel that the fused Battle Armor was not just a piece of armor, but had become a part of his body, completely integrated with his flesh and bones. Its power far exceeded the scope of ordinary Divine Artifact, reaching the level of a Super Divine Artifact artifact.
My dear, there's more to this chapter! ^.^
Just then, the voice of the Dragon God's will resounded once more. "Indeed, this is the true Dragon God's Armor! It is not only Super Divine Artifact unique to you, but also your God Armor! It will accompany you in your conquest of the heavens and protect everything you possess."
Xu Xingyu looked down at her body, her entire body covered by the nine-colored Battle Armor, every inch of which exuded supreme pressure and a holy aura.
He clenched his fist, feeling an unprecedented power flowing through his body, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
This is his Supreme Battle Armor, and also his crucial reliance as he prepares to enter the realm of the Dragon God.
As time went by, Xu Xingyu finally absorbed all the energy within the Dragon Ascension Pillar. His Soul Power officially crossed from the level of Divine Power power to the realm of the Supreme God King. The shock brought about by that qualitative change made every breath he took seem to shake the heavens and earth.
However, at that very moment, the space suddenly became turbulent, and an extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped everything. Xu Xingyu looked up abruptly and saw countless thunderclouds gathering in the void, with world-destroying lightning flashing within them, as if awaiting the final judgment.
Dragon God Will said with a hint of emotion and expectation, "The road to becoming a god has always been accompanied by the baptism of thunder and calamity. This is the final test for you, my child, be ready to face it!"
"Back then, I sought a breakthrough, but I couldn't overcome my own mindset, which led to the decline of the Dragon Clan. But you, my child, are different; you will definitely succeed!"
"Go, my child! Fulfill your responsibilities and advance along the path you have chosen! Only you can decide your own destiny!"
After speaking, the Dragon God's consciousness dissipated at that moment, and what followed was a test that Xu Xingyu had to face alone.
Xu Xingyu took a deep breath, staring directly at the rolling thunderclouds, his eyes showing no fear. He gently stroked the Supreme Battle Armor on his body, feeling its boundless power and might, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
He whispered, "Come on! No matter what kind of Lightning Tribulation it is, I will not back down!"
Nine-colored light burst forth from his body, like a newborn sun, illuminating the entire inheritance space.
Thunder is brewing in the sky, and a storm is about to break. Xu Xingyu's path to godhood has finally reached its final, ultimate test!
