Chapter 0582: The Pre-Saint Realm
Having recovered to a large extent, the Yellow Dragon focused his mind. Above him, auspicious clouds supported the Abyssal Divine Tree. At that moment, terrifying cracks appeared on the tree’s white jade roots; some had even broken completely. The green glow of the entire tree dimmed significantly, showing signs of withering, and even the Abyssal Fruits on it became shriveled.
The Yellow Dragon frowned upon seeing the state of the Abyssal Divine Tree. This time, both the Chaos Bell and the Abyssal Divine Tree had blocked Leo’s attacks in succession. Although the Chaos Bell took the brunt first, the Abyssal Divine Tree suffered the most damage. Of course, this was also because the tree was not complete.
“The World Tree?” The Yellow Dragon couldn’t help but recall Leo’s final cry. Since he obtained the Abyssal Divine Tree, no one in this world had recognized its origin. Unexpectedly, Leo did.
“Could the Abyssal Divine Tree originally be called the World Tree?” the Yellow Dragon thought to himself. As a powerful God King, Leo shouldn’t be mistaken.
“The World Tree?” he murmured.
Next, the Yellow Dragon summoned the Chaos Bell. Above the auspicious clouds, its pale yellow light contrasted with the green glow of the Abyssal Divine Tree. After a while, he withdrew his focus.
Now, the most important thing was to merge the Chaos Divine Dragon’s head with the Thunder Dragon Head and break through to the Pre-Saint Realm.
With a thought, the Yellow Dragon vanished in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already at the center of the Dayan Divine Thunder Array in the Immortals Pavilion’s grand formation. Above the array, dragon roars could be heard, and within a sphere of golden light lay the head of the Chaos Divine Dragon.
Back at Phoenix Golden Mountain, the Yellow Dragon had used the Immortals Pavilion to seal the head of the Chaos Divine Dragon, but it was only under suppression—its innate consciousness had not been completely erased.
Thunder flashes lit up the sky as flames spread. Intense waves of resentment surged upward, trying to break free from the confinement of the Immortals Pavilion’s formation.
Over more than a thousand years, the resentment of the Chaos Divine Dragon’s head had not faded but only grown stronger.
Around the Dayan Divine Thunder Array, a five-clawed golden dragon coiled around—this was the spirit of the Immortals Pavilion, driving the array to suppress the head of the Chaos Divine Dragon.
Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon flashed forward and arrived in front of the dragon’s head. With a single hand gesture, his divine power surged forth, instantly enveloping the head. At the same time, a dark golden talisman flashed in his forehead, emitting immense pressure that gradually subdued the dragon’s resentment.
However, after over a thousand years, the power of the dragon’s resentment was still strong, and it was difficult for the Yellow Dragon to completely subdue it.
After half a day of fierce struggle, the Chaos Divine Dragon’s head finally calmed down.
In the end, all of its resentment was dispelled by the Yellow Dragon. Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon finally breathed a sigh of relief. It then sat in lotus position and began to practice the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Art.” Dual dragons of water and fire spun into existence, their roars shaking the air as golden clouds surged forth, forming a sea of gold. Within this sea of clouds, the figure of the Yellow Dragon appeared and disappeared intermittently. After a while, the head of the Chaos Divine Dragon flashed with light, and strands of golden mist drifted toward the Yellow Dragon’s body. When these golden mists approached the Yellow Dragon’s body, it absorbed them instantly like a whale sucking in water, channeling them through its meridians into its dantian. Vast amounts of pure dragon essence began to surge out, flowing to every corner of its body. The intensity of this pure dragon essence surpassed even that contained within the Chaos Divine Dragon body that the Yellow Dragon had merged with in the Nether Sea. Instantly, the Yellow Dragon’s entire body swelled to the point of seeming about to burst. The power of the dragon essence within its head surged in all directions, and the Yellow Dragon struggled to keep its mind clear, continuously using the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Art” to absorb this essence. Within its mental palace, the Sea of the Original Spirit churned violently. Above this sea, the Original Spirit, the Chaos Bell, and the Nether Divine Tree emitted brilliant light—pure gold radiating brilliance, with lush green hues. The dragon essence that entered the mental palace was continuously absorbed by the Original Spirit, the Chaos Bell, and the Nether Divine Tree. With a humming sound, streams of energy radiated outward. An increasingly powerful dragon aura pressed toward the myriad spaces of the Immortals Pavilion. The exotic beasts and hellish crimson magical beasts in these spaces trembled in fear. Even those in the palace of the Immortals Pavilion, such as Zerom and Warner, were shocked. “The master is about to achieve another breakthrough!” Zerom exclaimed joyfully despite his shock. Warner, Nazeen, and the others were stunned for a moment before understanding what Zerom meant, and they were all shocked: “What? The master is going to break through again?!” If the master was already at the peak of dominion, what could happen with another breakthrough?! But wasn’t it said that one could only become a Supreme God by merging with a Supreme Divine Identity?! Could the master break through without it?! Warner and the others were filled with doubt. “This time, the master will definitely break through. I told you! Hehe, the Supreme Divine Identity is not far away!” Zerom continued. Everyone couldn’t help but recall what Zerom had said earlier—that since the primary divine identity already existed, the Supreme Divine Identity couldn’t be far off. Back then, everyone had dismissed his words as nonsense, but now…? Just then, another earth-shattering dragon roar sounded, causing everyone to tremble. This continued for almost a month.
When the head of the Chaotic Dragon no longer emitted golden mist, it transformed into streams of light and entered the Yellow Dragon’s body. Instantly, golden clouds surged around the Yellow Dragon like boiling water, producing golden bubbles one after another. Then, a colossal golden dragon broke through the clouds and soared into the sky.
The roar of the dragon sounded as if thousands of celestial dragons were shouting at once. This time, not only did the sound come from the Immortals’ Pavilion, but it also alarmed the gods and powerful beings across hundreds of millions of miles on the Kale Continent.
“What’s going on?!” Billions of miles away, in a cave dwelling, an ancient supreme god who had been cultivating for countless ages was filled with terror. The restrictions he had proudly set around his cave had been shattered, and the ground around him churned like turbulent sea water.
Worse still, these churning lands generated a terrifying force. As he tried to escape, he was pushed back. In panic, he had no choice but to summon his supreme god essence to protect the area. However, as the ground churned more violently, wave after wave of that terrifying force compressed the protective space, threatening to break through it. He was extremely anxious, but suddenly everything came to a halt.
After a while, when it was confirmed that everything was eerily quiet, the supreme god sat down, exhausted, his face pale as he touched his forehead, drenched in cold sweat.
Similar scenes were playing out in every corner of the hundreds of millions of miles around.
Inside the Immortals’ Pavilion, Zerom, Warner, and the others had already gathered together, summoning their supreme god essences to protect the area. Even so, when everything stopped, they were also exhausted. Zerom even lay face down on the ground, gasping for breath, “Damn it! Every time the master breaks through, it causes such a fuss. It’s killing me, old dragon!”
Warner and the others, still shaken, were speechless.
Yet, recalling what had just happened, they still felt tremors in their hearts.
Above the Great Yan Divine Thunder Array, the golden clouds gradually condensed, eventually forming a dense mass of golden clouds spanning hundreds of miles. With a buzzing sound, the clouds dispersed, releasing a massive dragonic aura. A colossal golden dragon hovered in the sky, its blood-red eyes scanning the world.
After a while, the golden dragon disappeared, and the Yellow Dragon reverted to human form, sitting in seiza position atop the celebratory clouds. Above them, the Chaos Bell and the Netherworld Divine Tree shone brightly. On the Chaos Bell, the primordial yellow and black energies churned endlessly, while the Netherworld Divine Tree emitted a strong green glow. The cracks caused by Leo had long disappeared; new roots had grown, and the shriveled fruits were now plump and glossy.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared above the celebratory clouds, revealing two Yellow Dragons.
One was naturally the Yellow Dragon’s original soul, while the other was the evil corpse that the Yellow Dragon had severed this time by leveraging the power of the Chaos Divine Dragon’s head and the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell. Humans have three corpses—upper, middle, and lower—and these are further divided into evil, good, and self. Each person has different obsessions, and those who practice cultivation generally sever the evil corpse. The Yellow Dragon trapped its evil thoughts within the Chaos Bell, finally severing one corpse and reaching the early stage of Quasi-Saint! The evil corpse sat cross-legged atop the Yellow Dragon’s celebration clouds, with a peaceful expression; pure dragon energy surrounded it. Suddenly, the Yellow Dragon opened its eyes, and two beams of light, resembling dragons of water and fire, pierced through countless spaces in the Immortals Pavilion and emerged. Gods across hundreds of millions of miles in the Kale Continent all saw the dragons of water and fire soaring into the sky. After a while, the dragons disappeared. The Yellow Dragon absorbed its original soul, the evil corpse, the Chaos Bell, and the Netherworld Divine Tree into its body, stood up, filled with joy—finally having achieved breakthrough! The realm of Quasi-Saint! The realm it had tried to reach but failed to attain in the Pangu World of its past life! In this vast world, the Yellow Dragon finally felt the confidence that stemmed from its own strength—a confidence to confront even the Supreme Divine Kings! Before achieving this breakthrough, it had to be cautious in front of the Supreme Gods, but now it no longer needed to fear them. With a thought, the Yellow Dragon flashed to the skies above the Immortals Pavilion palace. “I pay my respects to my master. Congratulations on your great achievement! Zerom’s admiration for you is as vast as the clouds in the sky…” Zerom let out a series of dragon farts that left Warner and the others stunned. As the master’s strength increased, so did this guy’s dragon farts. “Enough, get up,” said the Yellow Dragon with a smile. Zerom, Warner, and the others respectfully replied and stood up. “Master, have you already?” Zerom asked happily, standing beside the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon smiled silently, waved his hand, and with a flash of light, he led everyone out of the Immortals Pavilion and into the skies above the Kale Continent. The skies above the Kale Continent were calm, with gentle winds and soft clouds. The Yellow Dragon hovered in midair, gazing into the distance. Zerom, Warner, and the others followed his gaze, puzzled. After a long while, the sound of breaking through the air slowly came, followed by the appearance of dozens of figures. “It’s Feng Jinshan, Xili, Twod, Houston, and those guys!” Zerom was surprised before smiling happily, smacking his lips as if tasting something. Soon, Feng Jinshan and his group approached. Among the dozens of people, including Xili and three others, the Yellow Dragon’s divine sense detected a total of sixteen supreme gods!
