Chapter 0926: Huang Long Makes Another Breakthrough

Huang Yi and the others finally reached the level of Semi-Saints!
Next, it was time for Huang Long to refine Wu Zhi, the two elders of the Jiudingxuan Merchant Guild, and that Semi-Saint from the World of Myriad Beasts—four divine bodies—to absorb and break through six eras!
Among the four divine bodies, Wu Zhi had the weakest strength, at the peak of the early stage of six eras.
The Semi-Saint from the World of Myriad Beasts had the strongest strength, at the peak of the late stage of seven eras.
The two elders of the Jiudingxuan Merchant Guild were also at the peak of the late stage of six eras.
However, Huang Long chose to refine Wu Zhi first. Although he practiced the Supreme Transformation Art and had turned his entire body into a divine artifact-like existence, refining the Semi-Saint from the World of Myriad Beasts first would still be somewhat dangerous due to the impact of the essence and vital energy of a powerhouse at the peak of the late stage of seven eras.
After Huang Yi and the others flew back to the Sacred Cauldron Void to cultivate, Huang Long activated the grand array and began refining Wu Zhi’s divine body, while Zhong Huang started devouring the Medium-Class Great Path Divine Artifact, the Earth Spirit Pearl.
Although Wu Zhi was only a Semi-Saint at the peak of the early stage of six eras, his essence and vital energy were extremely vast.
Every time Huang Long absorbed a bit of his essence and vital energy, his entire body felt refreshed.
Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years…
As time passed, after thirty thousand years, Huang Long’s body trembled as he finally broke through from the peak of the middle stage of five eras to the peak of the late stage of five eras!
By then, Wu Zhi’s divine body had been almost completely refined. After fully refining Wu Zhi’s divine body and absorbing all his essence and vital energy, as well as the laws of the Great Path, Huang Long began refining the divine bodies of the two elders from the Jiudingxuan Merchant Guild.
Again, tens of thousands of years passed. After fully refining one of the elders’ divine bodies, Huang Long reached the peak of the late stage of five eras.
Just one step away from breaking through to six eras!
Then, Huang Long continued to refine the other elder’s divine body.
Yet, even after finishing refining that elder’s divine body, he still hadn’t broken through, remaining incredibly close to the sixth era—just half a step short.
Huang Long was also greatly surprised.
He had thought that refining Wu Zhi’s, the two elders’ divine bodies would be enough to help him break through to the sixth era, but it still wasn’t possible!
After reaching the fifth era, each subsequent breakthrough became ten times more difficult!
Only then did Huang Long truly understand this.
So, he proceeded to refine the divine body of that Semi-Saint from the World of Myriad Beasts, who was at the peak of the late stage of seven eras.
After countless tens of thousands of years of devouring, absorbing, and refining, one day, the space where Huang Long was suddenly shook—the sky changed color, and in the void, waves of Destruction Calamity Thunder kept forming.
Huang Long harnessed the Destruction Calamity Thunder and was finally about to break through to the sixth era!

One after another, the destruction thunderbolts rolled endlessly in the depths of space, exploding with crackling sounds and growing larger, yet they failed to fall for a long time as destructive forces continued to accumulate. Emperor Bell and Huang Yi, along with others inside the Sacred Cauldron, were all awakened by this. The entire space of the Sacred Cauldron froze due to the power of these destruction thunderbolts. When the destructive forces reached their peak, they suddenly poured down like a river of heaven, rushing through layers of space and time toward the Yellow Dragon. At that moment, the white jade roots of the World Tree stretched out from the Yellow Dragon’s sea of soul, intertwining above its head to form a network—tens of thousands of layers! When the destruction thunderbolts struck, they caused the white jade roots of the World Tree to vibrate violently, but their destructive forces were instantly absorbed and transformed by those roots, then transmitted layer by layer into the Yellow Dragon’s body below. Everyone was stunned—how could such a thing be possible?! This World Tree was truly beyond imagination; those destruction thunderbolts, which seemed capable of collapsing the entire Sacred Cauldron space, were effortlessly neutralized by it! As the white jade roots formed a network and transformed layer by layer, the destructive forces within the thunderbolts became even purer—this was what the Yellow Dragon had understood over the years. By absorbing and integrating these forces, the Yellow Dragon’s physical body and soul began to transform completely. One after another, royal-grade spiritual veins flew from the Sacred Cauldron and were continuously absorbed by the Yellow Dragon. Breaking through six eras and transforming both the physical body and soul required an astonishing amount of spiritual energy. Only after all ten royal-grade spiritual veins had been transformed into spiritual energy and infused into the Yellow Dragon’s body did its physical body and soul complete their transformation! Ten royal-grade spiritual veins! Although the Yellow Dragon already had plenty of spiritual veins, it was still surprised. If it hadn’t acquired enough along the way, the transformation of its physical body and soul during that breakthrough would not have succeeded, and it might even have suffered backlash, damaging its body and soul and making further breakthroughs difficult. However, at this time, the divine body of that half-saint at the peak of the later stage of seven eras in the World of Ten Thousand Monsters still hadn’t been fully refined, and streams of vital essence, primordial energy, and universal laws continued to be absorbed by the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon stabilized its strength at the early stage of six eras and continued to improve. The peak of the early stage of six eras! Then, the mid-stage of six eras! It wasn’t until the Yellow Dragon reached the mid-stage of six eras that it stopped. By then, the divine bodies of Wu Zhi and the other three had all been refined! When leaving the Star King World, the Yellow Dragon was at the peak of the mid-stage of five eras, but now it was at the mid-stage of six eras—its strength had changed dramatically, increasing tenfold!

Back then, Huang Long relied on the Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth to defeat those two elders of the Nine Cauldrons Pavilion who were at the peak of the later stages of six eras. But now, Huang Long alone is sufficient to kill warriors at the peak of the later stages of six eras!
“Finally, I’ve broken through to the sixth era. Next is the time to devour the Great Path Divine Artefacts!” Huang Long was overjoyed. As long as he devoured the Great Path Divine Artefacts and improved the Supreme Transformation Art to make himself an existence like a Great Path Divine Artefact, even if he encountered Chi Rong again, it wouldn’t be so easy for the other party to kill him!
Even half-saints at the peak of nine eras would find it difficult to shatter a Great Path Divine Artefact, unless Chi Rong possessed a mid-tier Great Path Divine Artefact!
Zhong Huang had already recovered to his full strength after devouring the Earth Spirit Pearl and two low-tier Great Path Divine Artefacts. Now, only two more low-tier Great Path Divine Artefacts remained.
So, Huang Long activated the Supreme Transformation Art and first devoured one of the low-tier Great Path Divine Artefacts into his body, gradually transforming it into part of his own body.
As this low-tier Great Path Divine Artefact transformed into part of Huang Long’s body, astonishing changes began to occur in every corner of his physical form and soul. Every part of Huang Long’s body became more cohesive, its structure continuously evolving and reorganizing, making his surface smoother and rounder.
To Huang Long’s surprise, the thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate within his body were also undergoing astonishing changes. The thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate had even begun to transform into low-tier Great Path Divine Artefacts!
However, a single low-tier Great Path Divine Artefact was far from enough to catalyze all thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate to transform into low-tier Great Path Divine Artefacts. Without hesitation, Huang Long devoured the other low-tier Great Path Divine Artefact as well.
Although these two low-tier Great Path Divine Artefacts were only of low tier, they had already reached the peak of that tier and were close to mid-tier Great Path Divine Artefacts. After devouring and transforming them, it was Huang Long’s physical form that transformed first.
