Chapter 289: The Dark Milk Forges the Divine Vein, and the Thunder Tribulation Proves the Heart of the Dao

Near the Nine Netherworld Milk Pool, Chen An's soul quietly found a milk pool, then took out a Nine Netherworld Jade and stepped into it without hesitation.

Inside the Nine Netherworld Milk Pool, Chen An's soul also started to practice the Qingling Huaqi Jue at the same time. Suddenly, the magic power in his body surged like a river, growing stronger and stronger. His cultivation level was also rising at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, Miao Huang, Jin Yan and others were also absorbing the Nine Netherworld Milk to improve their cultivation, but their speed was far slower than Chen An's.

However, due to Chen An's martial arts method, he had to absorb several times more Nine Netherworld Milk than people at the same level in order to break through. After offsetting the two, his cultivation speed was not much different from that of other people.

Even so, as his practice deepened, Chen An could clearly feel that his cultivation was growing at an astonishing rate.

The spiritual power that originally took several years or even more than ten years to accumulate was completed in just one or two months with the help of the Nine Netherworld Milk.

Within his body, abundant spiritual energy flowed through his meridians like a rushing river, carrying tremendous power.

However, there was suddenly one more person, and not long after, the others discovered that a dark cultivator had broken into the milk pool in the corner.

Apart from a little surprise when they first saw it, they took a few glances and then ignored it.

The most important thing right now is to absorb the Nine Netherworld Milk. They don't care much about whether there is one more person or one less person. The most important thing is that each milk pool is protected by a formation light shield. They can't break through the opponent, and the opponent can't get in either. So they simply practice their own and plan to surround and kill them after a breakthrough.

Then, in this intense yet leisurely training, five years passed in a flash.

During this period, Miao Huang and his companions only used a small part of the Nine Netherworld Milk in their respective pools to bring their realm to the perfect stage of the fusion period, and they felt signs of a breakthrough in their hearts.

But considering that they were not ready to break through to the Mahayana stage and face the thunder tribulation, they stopped absorbing the Nine Netherworld Milk.

Miao Huang smiled slightly, with a hint of excitement in her eyes. She said softly: "I didn't expect that in just five years, it would be so easy to achieve the perfect fusion!"

Liefeng, Xuanjia and Jinyan also showed surprise. This speed of cultivation was truly incredible.

As for the remaining Nine Netherworld Milk, there is no doubt that it will all be packed up and taken away.

Since they were sharing the same Nine Netherworld Milk, Liefeng and Xuanjia were wary of each other and were ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Even though Jin Yan and Miao Huang were a little wary, as they had a light shield to protect the other party from coming in, it would not be certain if they took the Nine Netherworld Milk out.

Just when the four of them were having their own thoughts, they saw that the Nine Netherworld Milk in the milk pool where Chen An was was almost exhausted, while his aura was still getting stronger.

Miaohuang, Liefeng, Xuanjia and Jinyan looked at each other with surprise written all over their faces.

If a person absorbs so much Nine Netherworld Milk, wouldn't his Dantian burst? !

"What's going on?"

Miao Huang's voice trembled a little: "Is this guy going to break through to the Mahayana stage right here?"

Liefeng and Xuanjia also had expressions of disbelief on their faces. A cultivator who had achieved perfect fusion would need to go through an extremely dangerous thunder tribulation in order to succeed in breaking through to the Mahayana stage.

And now, Chen An's aura is actually showing a trend of continuing to rise. It is simply unbelievable that he is going through the tribulation here in such a hurry.

At this moment, Chen An seemed not to notice the movements in the outside world. His mind was completely immersed in cultivation. The Nine Netherworld Milk was surging around him, as if it had consciousness, continuously providing him with the vast spiritual energy needed for a breakthrough.

And the moment his cultivation reached complete perfection, Chen An knew that it was time to move on to the next step of cultivation.

Chen An closed his eyes and concentrated, practicing the Death Gate Technique. Cold magical power flowed through his body, as if looking for a key node.

He could feel the connection between the split soul and the main body becoming closer and closer, but every time he tried to completely integrate the split soul into the main body, it would always fall just a little short.

Chen An frowned and fell into deep thought.

After some deep thought, a light bulb went off in my head, and I seemed to have grasped the key to the problem.

Immediately, he took out the Qiankun Pot and instantly summoned Chen Sheng, his clone who was practicing hard in the mountain inside the Qiankun Pot, to his front.

The reason why he has been unable to merge his split souls is that his spirit and soul are not complete and he is still missing this crucial step.

"Come back." Chen An said lightly.

Chen Sheng nodded slightly, his expression neither sad nor happy, and then his body moved, turning into a stream of light and sinking into Chen An's body, and the two merged into one again.

Chen An took a deep breath and silently practiced the Death Gate Technique from the Eight Gates Divine Veins Technique again.

The next moment, he clearly felt a strange force flowing through his body, as if there was an invisible bond closely connecting him and his soul.

In the other milk pool, where the split soul was, ripples appeared on the milk pool. As if sensing the call, he began to rise slowly and flew towards the direction of Chen An's original body.

The split soul drew a streak of light in the air, carrying with it strands of the Nine Netherworld Milk, like a long silver dragon, shuttling above the milk pool.

The split soul gradually approached, and Chen An's mind also became focused.

When the split soul came into contact with Chen An's body, it instantly turned into countless tiny spots of light and poured into his body.

Chen An only felt a tremendous force surging out from the depths of his dantian, as if a volcano was erupting. He hurriedly practiced the Eight Gates Divine Veins Technique to guide this force to every corner of his body.

With the influx of power, Chen An's aura became stronger and stronger.

His body seemed to have turned into a huge whirlpool, constantly absorbing the Nine Netherworld Milk around him.

Miao Huang, Jin Yan and others were standing not far away, witnessing all this happening, their faces full of astonishment.

Several people looked at each other in confusion and whispered, "What is Chen An doing? Why did he swallow that dark cultivator?"

Chen An ignored the looks from others and devoted himself to cultivation.

With the complete cultivation of the Eight Gates Divine Veins Technique, the power of the Death Gate was fully awakened in his body.

His entire body exuded a terrifying aura, the power of which was enough to scare any cultivator in the fusion stage.

Miao Huang and others were even more frightened by this aura. They could not help but retreat one after another, not daring to get close.

Chen An was surrounded by circles of spiritual power fluctuations that were visible to the naked eye. These fluctuations spread out in all directions like waves.

At this moment, a demon god with a green face, fangs and a ferocious expression appeared in Chen An's sea of ​​consciousness.

This is apparently the Dharma form that the split soul has initially cultivated with the help of the Demon God Transformation Technique. The body of the Demon God Dharma form is surrounded by black flames, and his eyes are like the abyss.

At the same time, a five-clawed golden dragon image quietly condensed in the sea of ​​consciousness.

A golden dragon-shaped shadow hovered above Chen An's head, exuding an aura of majesty and inviolability.

The five-clawed golden dragon is surrounded by golden light, and every scale shines with dazzling luster, making it look extremely powerful.

Two completely different forces collided in Chen An's body, producing a strong resonance.

As the Death Gate of the Eight Gates Divine Veins was completely awakened, the Demon God's Dharma Image and the Five-clawed Golden Dragon's Dharma Image seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force and began to slowly approach.

There seems to be a natural fit between the two, as if they were meant to belong to the same whole.

As time passed, the two statues got closer and closer until they finally touched.

At this moment, a dazzling light burst out from Chen An's body, and an unprecedented wave of magical power spread from his body, shaking the entire secret place.

The black flames of the divine form and the golden light of the five-clawed golden dragon form intertwined together to form strange lines, which quickly covered Chen An's entire body.

Not long after, the lines gradually condensed into a golden image of a demon god.

The ferocity of the demon god and the majesty of the golden dragon were perfectly combined to form a new form. The eyes of the golden demon god were like stars, emitting brilliant light, and its body seemed to be made of gold, with every inch emitting dazzling light and covered with a layer of golden scales.

After completely mastering the Eight Gates Divine Veins Technique, before Chen An had time to experience it carefully, he immediately fell into a mysterious state.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a chaotic place. Everything around him became blurred. Only the surging power in his mind made him know that he had reached the peak of the fusion period.

He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, as if looking for something.

The opportunity to break through to the Mahayana stage is fleeting. We must seize this rare opportunity and break through in one fell swoop!
Chen An took a deep breath, took out a Nine Nether Jade, opened another milk pool, and began to accelerate the absorption of the Nine Nether Milk, trying to trigger the arrival of the heavenly calamity.

As Chen An moved, the sky changed rapidly, dark clouds gathered, and the sounds of lightning and thunder were heard continuously.

Miao Huang and the others saw this and their faces changed drastically: "Not good, he is really going to break through here!"

Several people were well aware of the power of thunder and lightning. If they were accidentally affected, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, they did not stay any longer, and used escape techniques to quickly leave the place to avoid accidental injuries. They even did not have time to collect the remaining Nine Netherworld Milk.

Miao Huang and his companions hurried out of the secret place. When they turned around, they found that the calamity clouds behind them were becoming more and more dense, almost covering the entire world.

They secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they escaped quickly, otherwise if they were even half a moment slower, they would have been affected by the thunder.

The calamity clouds rolled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and every ray of lightning contained the power to destroy the world, which made people dare not underestimate it.

Just when Miao Huang and others thought they were out of danger, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

The eyes of the Saint Ancestor of Silence were as deep as the abyss, making people shudder.

Miao Huang and his companions had seen the soul of the Saint Ancestor of Silence, so they naturally recognized the person in front of them and their faces turned pale in an instant.

They didn't expect that they had just escaped from the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's mouth. They avoided the impact of the thunder tribulation but fell into the hands of the Holy Ancestor.

Having killed the opponent's soul before, he must be here to seek revenge. It's a pity that this secret place has an entrance that can be opened at will, but the exit is in the underworld.

When Saint Ancestor Silent was about to ask where the person who had killed his soul was, he also sensed the presence of calamity clouds in the distance.

He looked quite surprised: "I wonder who is going through the tribulation here!"

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he asked Miao Huang and others where the person who killed his soul was.

After questioning, he learned that it was Chen An who did it and was undergoing a tribulation inside. The Saint Ancestor of Silence sneered and decided to wait here.

When Chen An had just broken through to the Mahayana stage and was at his weakest, he was killed in one fell swoop to avenge the death of his split soul.

Saint Ancestor Silent was absolutely sure about this, but before that, he planned to get rid of the accomplices in front of him first!
"None of you, don't even think about leaving here alive." The voice of the Saint of Silence was icy cold, with unquestionable majesty.

When Miao Huang, Jin Yan and others saw that the other side was about to attack, their faces turned pale, but if they just surrendered, they would surely die, so they had to fight to the death.

At this moment, a figure broke through the air.

He was agile and determined, and stood in front of Miao Huang and the others, shouting, "Jiemie, don't embarrass the youngsters!"

Upon hearing this, Saint Ancestor Jiemie was slightly startled, and then a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Old Man Qin. You, a defeated general, dare to come and die, you really overestimate your own abilities!"

Qin Tianxing's face darkened, and he looked at Saint Ancestor Jiemie with a sharp gaze: "If you dare to touch a hair of Miao Huang and the others, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Hmph, who can't tell lies!"

Saint Ancestor Silent snorted disdainfully: "You are no match for me. Today I will let you see what true strength is!"

After saying that, he stretched out his body and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Qin Tianxing.

Qin Tianxing's face darkened. Knowing that the other party was very powerful, he did not dare to be negligent and clenched a white jade pendant in his hand.

He threw the jade pendant into the air, and it immediately turned into a huge shield, shining with silver light, protecting him.

Upon seeing this, Saint Ancestor Silent sneered and a palm-leaf fan flew out. The fan was engraved with dense and strange runes, and a halo of light was flowing.

The Saint of Silence gently waved the fan in his hand, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and countless black wind blades attacked Qin Tianxing.

Qin Tianxing's face was solemn, and he muttered something. The jade pendant emitted a brighter light, forming a solid protective shield.

The wind blade hit the protective shield with a deafening sound, but it was unable to penetrate.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Saint Ancestor of Silence, and then he waved the fan more fiercely, and more powerful black wind blades bombarded Qin Tianxing one after another.

Although Qin Tianxing tried his best to resist, after all, the strength of the Saint Ancestor of Silent Destruction was far superior to his. Gradually, cracks began to appear in his protective shield.

Qin Tianxing frowned, and while he fought hard, he also reminded them: "Go!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Huang, Jin Yan and others hurriedly fled.

In the Nine Netherworld Milk Pool.

The calamity clouds above Chen An's head have been brewing to the extreme, and it won't be long before the first thunder tribulation is about to come.

This is a test of life and death, and also the critical moment for Chen An to break through to the Mahayana stage.

Chen An sat cross-legged in the center of the milk pool. His magic power surged throughout his body, and the light shield of his true essence body protection technique rose up. All kinds of mysterious treasures were also ready.

With a deafening roar, the first thunder tribulation finally fell. It was a purple-gold thunder, carrying unparalleled power, and it struck Chen An directly.

Chen An did not dare to slack off at all and immediately sacrificed Tuji Mountain.

Tu Ji Mountain flew out from his sleeve and instantly turned into the size of a small mountain. It stood steadily above Chen An's head, easily blocking most of the power of the first thunder tribulation.

Afterwards, Chen An took out a soul-binding chain. This chain was like a living thing, circling in the air, entangling the successive thunder tribulations and dissolving them.

Immediately afterwards, the thunder and lightning continued. Seeing that the thunder and lightning were becoming more and more urgent, Chen An threw out the black fan again.

With a light wave, gusts of cold air surged from the fan, blowing away all the remaining lightning power that was blocked by Tuji Mountain and the Soul-Binding Chains.

At this time, relying on the Zhenyuan Body Protection Technique Light Shield, the last trace of lightning was completely blocked.

It is worth mentioning that when the third thunder tribulation fell, it shattered all the light shields protecting the Nine Netherworld Milk, and a large amount of Nine Netherworld Milk overflowed and filled the entire milk pool.

Chen An was delighted, this was exactly the result he expected.

He practiced his skills without hesitation, absorbing all of the Nine Netherworld Milk, converting it into his own magic power to consolidate his foundation.

In this way, Chen An endured seven purple-gold thunder tribulations in succession. He easily resolved them at the beginning, but gradually felt a little strenuous with the seventh one.

But no matter what, the power of thunder and lightning is not too dangerous for him. He can resolve it by using some tricks and mysterious treasures.

But the most rare thing is the eighth thunder tribulation, the tribulation of the heart of Tao!
This is the most critical thunder tribulation in breaking through the Mahayana stage, because it is not only a test of the physical body and magic power, but also a test of the heart of Tao.

Once one's Dao heart is unstable, at best the soul will suffer severe damage and will not be able to recover for hundreds of years, or at worst one will very likely become addicted and never wake up.

The cultivators who could reach such strength would have a firm faith in the Tao, but the key to this calamity was not this, but whether they could quickly survive it and wake up in time.

Because while experiencing the Dao Heart Tribulation, the eighth thunder tribulation will also fall at the same time.

If one can quickly escape from the Dao Heart Tribulation in advance, then there will be time to react to resist the subsequent thunder tribulation. However, if one is a moment late, the body will be in an unprepared state, and the thunder tribulation will strike directly on the top of the head, causing the body and soul to be destroyed.
