A divine figure, entirely resplendent in gold and clad in golden armor, leaps out above Su Jie, resembling Su Jie in every aspect—this was Su Jie’s Yang God. With the emergence of the Yang God, dark clouds instantly covered the sky dome, and heavenly thunder surged like a flood dragon—the Purple Mansion Thunder Tribulation had arrived. The thousand-hand centipede and the drowsy annual ring worm in Su Jie’s sleeves were awakened by the pressure of heaven and earth, crawled out from the sleeves, and landed at a distance, continuing to sound ’crackle’ and ’creak’ incessantly. "Purple Mansion unified, who could hinder me!" Su Jie’s Yang God stood proudly, its eyes domineering, its aura soaring into the sky, shattering layer upon layer of tribulation clouds, regarding the Purple Mansion Thunder Tribulation as ants. The shattered tribulation clouds suddenly collapsed into a vortex, with the tribulation lightning condensing into vertical pupil-like lightning patterns within the depths of the vortex. The next moment, it seemed as if the sky cracked open or as if a god opened its eyes. A streak of purple-white lightning crashed down, shaking the mountains for hundreds of miles, cracking the rocks for ten miles, and turning the earth within a kilometer into boiling lava. This was merely the first heavenly thunder; ordinarily, for a Dao Platform Realm Cultivator caught in this, it would shatter their Dao heart immediately—they couldn’t possibly survive such tribulation lightning. However, Su Jie’s Yang God faced the lightning with open arms, holding the Divine Spear condensed from Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder, and collided fiercely with the tribulation lightning. No vast shock wave nor destruction occurred—the tribulation lightning was completely devoured by the Divine Spear, absorbed by Su Jie’s Yang God, making it glow even more magnificently like a golden sun, its divine radiance illuminating the heavens and earth. Other cultivators advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm could not confront it as effortlessly as Su Jie; their primordial spirits couldn’t withstand such extremely strong Yang tribulation lightning. Usually, cultivators at this level suffer greatly under the tribulation lightning during their tribulation, undergoing repeated refinement to imbue their primordial spirits with the same extremely strong Yang characteristics, forming the Yang God. But who was Su Jie? He had already achieved a similarly extremely strong Yang Yang God in advance, and it wasn’t just any Yang God—it was one condensed with seventy-two brilliant golden cores. Such mighty tribulation lightning was utterly insignificant in Su Jie’s eyes. Terrifying heavenly thunder crashed down repeatedly, capable of easily annihilating Dao Platform Realm cultivators, yet Su Jie toyed with them effortlessly, absorbing them all into his Yang God. At this moment, Su Jie fully embodied what it meant to be a genius. For others, advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm was a perilous ordeal; for Su Jie, it was not fraught with danger, not riddled with traps—it was mere child’s play, discreetly suppressing and absorbing the terrifying tribulation lightning, embodying a carefree and easygoing demeanor. When the eighth heavenly thunder was effortlessly weathered by Su Jie, a muffled rumbling echoed from the depths of the sky dome, as if countless gigantic beasts were grinding their fangs and roaring within the clouds—the ninth tribulation lightning was brewing, suddenly striking down. This tribulation lightning was azure-white, entwined with chaotic energy, appearing to be a lightning pillar intent on obliterating the earth, illuminating the entire mountainous region as if it were daylight when it descended. Su Jie laughed aloud, transforming his Yang God into his Dharma. Winged upon his back, towering like a mountain, his single eye illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths—the Chaos Dharma formed in the void. The Dharma’s single eye transformed into a vortex, directly engulfing and accommodating the sky-covering lightning pillar, swallowing it entirely. The whole process lasted for a full minute before the lightning pillar dissipated with a thundering crash, and the tribulation clouds began to disperse. The Chaos Dharma roared up to the heavens, then turned its head and directly drilled into the head of Su Jie’s physical body sitting on the ground, simultaneously releasing the energies of the previously swallowed tribulation lightning. Crackle! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fiɾe·net Electric arcs exploded, thunder rolled, and plasma poured into his meridians through his seven orifices, his skin inch by inch carbonized and peeled away, unveiling the jade-like bones beneath, yet even the bones were cracking, unable to fully withstand the tribulation lightning. From a distance, Su Jie’s entire body radiated terrifying lightning, seemingly a thunderous divine body, with tribulation lightning frantically demolishing his flesh, bones, and internal organs. However, under the self-healing of Su Jie’s Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill, the injuries repeatedly tugged back and forth. Often in places where the flesh was charred, the blood split into thousands of flesh pieces, quickly replenishing Su Jie’s flesh, with newborn flesh beneath the golden light consuming the carbonized surface, sloughing off dead skin that transformed into ash butterflies in the wind, each with wings flickering with lingering lightning. Life continuously reborn in destruction, causing Su Jie’s bones to splinter and reorganize inch by inch, making his physical form stronger through each transformation. Until the exposed spine burst forth a faint golden radiance, Su Jie’s entire jade-like bones gradually became imbued with faint golden hues, akin to pure gold casting, with hardness surpassing that of the previous tenfold. At the dantian, it was as if a thousand stars interlaced, forming a star map. "Purple Mansion, accomplished!" Suddenly, Su Jie snapped his eyes open. Golden Heavenly Thunder burst forth from Su Jie’s eyes, its aura covering the sky, and the expanded golden spiritual power surged like a mountain and sea, dyeing the clouds within a hundred miles a reddish-gold color. Looking again at Su Jie’s physical body, layers of charred flesh peeled away, revealing a texture akin to glaze. When the last thread of tribulation lightning was absorbed by Su Jie’s body, his constitution underwent a world-shaking transformation. Pale golden divine bones twisted, emitting a clear sound like jade chimes, accompanied by a heartbeat akin to a thunderous big drum, as if the Tao Heavenly Sound was playing in the human realm, soul-stirring. Skin like glazed jade stone, containing infinite divine power, able to throw high mountains and cover seas with a simple gesture, plunging heaven and earth into eclipse. The meridians in Su Jie’s body transformed into dragons, and the vast spiritual power surged within; acupuncture points turned into a sky full of stars, filled with essence and divine radiance, intertwined like an order divine chain, inwardly constrained all of Su Jie’s strength and spiritual power. Even beneath Su Jie’s feet, there rose a seven-petal Tao Lotus, the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus. It benefited from the pure yang vitality of the prior tribulation lightning, now sprouting another cotyledon, growing the seventh petal, drawing closer to its complete form of nine lotus petals. Standing on the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, feeling the power surging within, Su Jie couldn’t help but feel boundless grandeur and ambition. "Purple Mansion Realm, so this is the Purple Mansion Realm." Su Jie smiled, and that smile grew into thunderous laughter. Su Jie raised his left hand and struck with a palm. Spiritual power surged forth like a tide, with the sharp roar of dragons and tigers from the void. A mountain in front was directly blasted halfway down, with rock fragments flying into the air thousands of meters high, leaving a giant handprint a kilometer size on the remaining half of the mountain, with its texture minutely distinguished, as if an eternal mark left by a colossal giant. This was just a casual strike from Su Jie, merely the simple overflow of physical power and spiritual strength, demonstrating such might; if he used the Dharma Form, the power would double in intensity. This is why Purple Mansion Cultivators are so revered; each and every one stands at the pinnacle of the Da Li Dynasty, especially in the current times of Cave Void Great Power dwindling—the Purple Mansion Cultivators represent the strongest level in the Da Li Dynasty. Su Jie could feel the earth-shattering change in his strength compared to the past. Now, in Su Jie’s world, he can go wherever he pleases. A shadow flashed ahead, the thousand-hand centipede darted into Su Jie’s embrace, coiling around his arm, jubilant for its master’s ascension to the Purple Mansion. The annual ring worm crawled slowly onto Su Jie’s palm, looking curiously at him with its sesame-like eyes. It had contracted with many Sect Masters from Ghost Ridge Palace, but Su Jie is the only one, at present, who has broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm. Su Jie stroked the thousand-hand centipede and flicked the soft head of the annual ring worm, amidst the delighted rolling of the centipede and the worm’s white eyes, he turned to the arriving Han Ruyan. "Congratulations, husband, on achieving the Purple Mansion Dao." Han Ruyan smiled charmingly, with beautiful eyes carrying a faint joy. "From now on, in the Tianyuan World, united in heart and mind, this world will be in our grasp." Without further words, Su Jie embraced Han Ruyan’s slender waist and kissed those rouge-red lips. Beauty in his arms, Qingzhou in his hand, and strength advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, Su Jie’s heart couldn’t help but become wild. Han Ruyan gently accepted Su Jie’s boldness; the Ninth Grade Fierce Ghost she is, she understands Su Jie’s heart better than before. The thousand-hand centipede, feeling neglected, waved its antennae atop its head, uttering a grievance-filled chirp—it too wanted affection. "Alright, alright, next time I will surely help Xiao Qian advance to Nine Refinement Gu Worm, I know you’re impressive." Su Jie couldn’t help but laugh, but these words were not to coax Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian is currently a Top Grade Eight Refinement Gu Worm, with the cultivation of many gu worms on Blue Star, the day it breaks through to Nine Refinement Gu Worm can be anticipated. Thinking of that scenario, with a Ninth Grade Fierce Ghost plus a Nine Refinement Gu Worm, along with his own early-stage Purple Mansion Realm cultivation, Su Jie’s spirit couldn’t help but swell a bit. In this world, he assuredly had great confidence to fight against even a mid-stage Purple Mansion opponent, and dare even to confront a late-stage Purple Mansion Realm. This is the confidence strong power brings to Su Jie.
