In the depths of Bai Shui, Bai Nu had transformed into his White Flood Dragon form, merging seamlessly with the waters, with boundless Water Spirit Power swirling around him.
Similar to the choice made by the Phoenix Spirit.
He planned to first undergo the Dragon Transformation Tribulation, followed by the Fifth Tribulation of the Yin Spirit.
At this moment, under the moonlight, Bai Nu’s Flood Dragon body appeared as if made of white jade, with dragon scales radiating light all over, and his eyes filled with intense confidence.
This confidence was not only because his Dao Practice had returned to its peak but also because of a treasure given to him by Zhang Jian.
Rumble!!
In an instant, thunder light as massive as a mountain began to erupt above, blazing thunder light condensed into a torrent, crashing down toward the direction of the Flood Dragon.
"Three Caverns Divine Thunder!"
At this time, there were quite a few figures in the void watching this scene from afar, their expressions solemn.
Many of these figures were cultivators from the Two Realms Region.
The spectacular scene drew everyone in.
Encounters with beings undergoing the Dragon Transformation like this were rare events, and the many cultivators naturally did not want to miss it.
There were also many from the Alien Race present.
The numerous beings of the Alien Race, who often dealt with Thunder Tribulations, understood this kind of thunder’s power more clearly.
The Dragon Transformation Tribulation is not fundamentally different from other Thunder Tribulations, but its power is slightly stronger, potentially a level above ninety-six.
Such a large Thunder Tribulation usually starts with Three Caverns Divine Thunder, followed by Three Xiao Divine Thunder or Five Extremes Divine Thunder in the middle, and the most powerful Formless Yin Thunder or Heart-Burning Thunder, or even the Apocalypse Divine Thunder appears later, and is unpredictable—this depends on luck.
As seen, the first to descend was the Great Cavern Divine Thunder, a brilliant blue thunder light resembling a torrent.
The White Flood Dragon not only did not fear but actively met it with its several-zhang-long true body, its form appearing as if bathing in thunder and lightning, soaring through the sky.
The many cultivators watched this scene in shock.
Although the Three Caverns Divine Thunder had different attributes targeting the Dharma Body, the Primordial Spirit, and the Dao Heart respectively, each strike’s power was no weaker than a Yin Spirit Level Technique.
The Flood Dragon not only did not fear the power of the Three Caverns Divine Thunder but instead charged directly into the sea of thunder with its dragon body, demonstrating the dragon body’s robustness.
A true Heaven and Earth Alien Species indeed!
In Bai Shui Dragon Palace, several figures were watching this scene from afar.
Leading them was the Empress of the Western Palace, Bai Liying, followed by Zhang Jian and a few other Primordial Spirit Masters.
Huang He Master and Celestial Splitting True Monarch Jin Wuyang stood aside.
At this time, Zhang Jian was smiling gently, comforting, "Princess, do not worry, with the Dragon Pearl in place, and the Flood Dragon Fate already transformed into the Ice Dragon True Destiny, he will surely succeed in transforming into a Dragon!"
"But we don’t know what kind of dragon body it will shed into, nor if there are any criteria for dragon transformations in your Dragon Race?"
Seeing Bai Liying’s nervousness, Zhang Jian casually brought up a topic to ease Bai Liying’s anxiety.
Bai Liying was indeed distracted by his words, smiling as she spoke.
"Your Majesty, you may not know, but our Bai Shui Dragon Palace lineage carries the Ice Dragon bloodline. There aren’t many types of Ice Dragons, being mainly around ten types like the Profound Soul True Dragon, Black Pool Cold Dragon, Profound Nether True Dragon, Ice Crystal Chi Dragon, Taiyin True Dragon, and so forth. Most of them are also Alien bodies!
For example, the Black Pool Cold Dragon and Profound Soul True Dragon.
The origin of our Bai Shui Dragon Palace is the Profound Nether True Dragon lineage, and if nothing unexpected, it should transform into a Profound Nether True Dragon!"
Zhang Jian’s eyes lit up, genuinely intrigued.
He asked:
"How does the Profound Nether True Dragon compare to other True Dragons, any distinctive features?"
Bai Liying thought for a moment before responding.
"The Profound Nether True Dragon is considered a True Dragon with a well-balanced attribute, naturally close to wind, water, thunder, and ice powers. Once transformed into a Profound Nether True Dragon’s body, there’s a significant chance to grasp an Innate Divine Technique aligned with the Great Dao Law!"
"I see!"
Zhang Jian nodded slightly.
There’s no doubt that True Dragons are inherently powerful beings, comparable to Immortals once matured, and those with superior bloodlines are extraordinarily gifted, unmatched by other Ancient Species.
Rumble.
At this moment in the void, the first three waves of the Thunder Tribulation gradually passed.
The fourth wave of Tribulation Thunder arrived.
With its emergence, endless red clouds appeared deep in the sky, spreading red light with what seemed like countless fires burning fiercely within.
"Karma Fire Divine Tribulation, it’s an Alien Divine Tribulation, the Thunder Tribulation has mutated!"
Gazing up at the numerous crimson thunder fires above, many high-tier cultivators’ expressions changed.
The severe tribulation fire was terrifying; many high-tier cultivators just took a glance and felt fire stamping onto their Yin Spirit and Primordial Spirit, burning their Divine Sense.
It was an extremely formidable thunder.
Karmic Fire Divine Thunder.
This was not among the Three Xiao Divine Thunder or Five Extremes Divine Thunder but one of the Nine Heart-Burning Divine Thunder.
The power of such Divine Thunder is already close to the Primordial Spirit Level!
Typically, there shouldn’t be such terrifying Karmic Fire Divine Thunder appearing in just the fourth wave!
"Could it be that this Bai Shui Dragon Monarch has done things that harmed the peace, caused too much slaughter, otherwise it wouldn’t provoke such Karmic Fire Divine Thunder..."
Many high-tier cultivators in the crowd changed their expressions secretly.
Karmic Fire Divine Thunder Tribulations usually target those with heavy blood debts.
In Bai Shui Dragon Palace, Zhang Jian also saw this scene, noting the mutated Tribulation Thunder above. It was not unexpected.
The Bai Shui Dragon Monarch held control over the Bai Shui River, where slaughter was inevitable.
Moreover, a thousand years ago, during the battle with the warlocks under Prince Mian, many were slain, and these slaughters would not dissipate with time.
At this moment in the sea of thunder, Bai Nu gazed at the sky-filling red cloud thunder light, sensing intense ominous premonitions, realizing he must unleash his ultimate moves.
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes, but in the next moment, he opened his mouth, spewing out a Divine Light, sending it into the depths of the rolling tribulation cloud.
It was an azure divine light.
After the azure divine light surged into the depths of the thunder tribulation clouds, under the astonished gaze of numerous cultivators and gods, the all-encompassing thunder tribulation unexpectedly began to dissipate rapidly.
The entire thunder tribulation disappeared from above Bai Shui at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The thunder tribulation is gone?"
Watching this scene, the many cultivators and gods widened their eyes, unable to suppress the intense shock to their Dao Hearts.
This is simply unbelievable.
But it certainly wasn’t a failed tribulation crossing.
Yet in the depths of the firmament, the white flood dragon still existed, with circles of the intense Creation Divine Thunder above its head transforming into pure Creation Spirit Light, enveloping the true body of the white flood dragon.
Within this Creation Spirit Light, a grand, primordial aura began to emanate from the body of the white flood dragon, igniting fierce flames on its surface, with countless scales starting to peel off, and even the dragon’s tail completely splitting open, as if the entire body was invisibly expanding.
That is the Dragon Shedding!
Also the final process before transforming into a dragon.
At this time, deep within the Water Mansion, Bai Liying gazed at this scene, her face equally astonished, then she noticed that Zhang Jian’s expression had remained unchanged throughout, instead carrying a hint of a smile, evidently aware of some secret, prompting her to inquire.
"Your Majesty, what treasure is that azure light?
So powerful that it could actually dispel the Dragon Transformation Tribulation in the sky!"
Zhang Jian replied with a slight smile, "That is the Thunder Dao Talisman Decree from the Celestial Realm!"
This was something he obtained as a feedback item from offering to his ancestors before he proclaimed himself emperor, originally meant to be used for his cultivation of the Thunder Emperor Dharma Aspect in the "Nine Heavens Wind-Riding Thunder-Controlling Technique."
Later, he received enlightenment, greatly enhancing his comprehension, rendering this item unnecessary for him.
...
Meanwhile, deep in the void, there was another figure who recognized that fleeting azure talisman decree above the sky.
This figure was the Sheji Ancient Immortal.
The Sheji Ancient Immortal had always been paying attention to the activities of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the appearance of the Dragon Transformation Tribulation naturally caught the gaze of this ancient immortal.
As for the Thunder Dao Talisman Decree, others might not recognize it, but he was very familiar with it.
The Thunder Dao Talisman Decree was condensed by the Celestial Monarch of the Thunder Department in the Celestial Realm using the Thunder Dao Rules, granting the possessor the ability to avoid some of the cultivation thunder tribulations.
Such as the Transformation Tribulation, Dragon Transformation Tribulation, and Divine Dao Thousand-Year Thunder Tribulation.
This item was considered a treasure.
It was also effective for assisting in the cultivation of Thunder Dao techniques.
A treasure so precious was evidently not something that a so-called ’backgroundless’ flood dragon like Bai Nu could obtain.
"I wonder whether it originated from the hands of a Daoist Monarch, or the Tongshan Dao Lineage!"
The Sheji Ancient Immortal pondered silently.
...
Above the firmament, Bai Nu’s transformation speed was very fast.
The old dragon scales and horns rapidly fell off, and newly born dragon scales quickly covered the lengthy hundred-zhang dragon body.
Bai Nu’s originally jade-like flood dragon body now emitted threads of deep blue radiance, while the dragon tail acquired a profound black, inky hue, resembling countless black wind lines in motion!
The true dragon body emerged spontaneously, and in the depths of the firmament, countless winds and rains intertwined, thunder roared.
Vast divine power was bred from within.
The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon.
The true dragon body was newly formed, yet the power it contained was as vast as an ocean, naturally wielding the forces of wind, thunder, rain, and lightning.
This great power surpassed even the Pure Yang Level Primordial Spirit Masters.
Its combat power was likely comparable to that of a Primordial Spirit Grand Master.
Within the Water Mansion, Zhang Jian glanced over and said, "It seems this is the Profound Nether True Dragon body!"
Bai Liying’s beautiful eyes were already filled with joy, and she gently nodded at these words.
"Your Majesty, this is the dragon race’s alien species Profound Nether True Dragon, which is among the most dominant true dragons in our dragon race!"
Zhang Jian couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems my Great Xia Court will have yet another True Immortal Seed!"
For the true dragon is indeed the king among Divine Beasts.
The rise of one called a True Immortal Seed would not be an exaggeration.
But seeing Bai Nu not resting after overcoming the Dragon Transformation Tribulation, he quickly transformed into human form, landed, with the dragon soul leaving the flesh body, flying directly towards the Void Realm, intending to overcome the Reincarnation Tribulation in one breath.
Using the true dragon body to strike through the Fifth Tribulation of the Yin Spirit was almost assured.
Everyone watched in silence.
Bai Nu did not keep them waiting long.
It was only about half an hour later when countless auspicious clouds and auspicious air emerged from the depths of the firmament, accompanied by ethereal celestial sounds resonating throughout the world, a ray of purple light instantly fell into Bai Nu’s body.
In an instant, a vast spiritual mechanism started to become chaotic around Bai Nu, as countless spiritual mechanisms between heaven and earth poured towards him like a flood.
The spiritual mechanism of the Bai Shui Water Element also resonated with him, transforming into surging waves that poured into his body.
In an instant, his aura surged past the Pure Yang Realm, reaching the Primordial Spirit Golden Body Realm.
With this breakthrough, he directly achieved the body of a Primordial Spirit Grand Master.
A formidable divine power emanated from around him.
Bai Nu, becoming aware of his state, let out a hearty laugh.
After thousands of years of arduous cultivation, today he not only transformed into a true dragon but also directly ascended to the Primordial Spirit Grand Master Realm, how exhilarating this is.
And this is just the initial formation of the dragon body.
Achieving immortality with a true dragon body, and even becoming a Celestial Immortal, will not prove difficult.
