Chapter 0855: Breakthrough – Half-Saint!

A thousand years pass inside the Heavens and Earth Sacred Cauldron, while only one day goes by outside. Thus, it takes over three thousand years to refine the myriad realms, yet only three days pass outside. However, each time the Sacred Cauldron array is activated, the amount of divine pills consumed is terrifying—equivalent to the wealth accumulated by a small family in the Hongmeng Realm over billions of years. But for Huang Long, who has already seized the treasures of the Four Heavenly Dragon Mountains and the Nine Thunderpeng Clans, plus possesses the Heavens and Earth Sacred Cauldron, this is merely a drop in the ocean.

Sitting in void, Huang Long activates the Sacred Cauldron array in conjunction with his heavenly fire to continuously refine the divine bodies of Brucchi, Durali, and others. As time passes, streams of radiant light flow out from their bodies. As divine kings, Brucchi and the others possess divine bodies far stronger than those of elders like Porta of the Thunder Peng Clan, making them extremely difficult to refine. Yet Huang Long isn’t worried, as he has plenty of time. If it takes ten thousand years to refine them, he’ll use twenty thousand; if still not, then one hundred thousand!

Of course, the terrifying energy contained in each stream of light is incomparable to that of Porta and the others. If the light produced by Porta and the others is like a small river, then that of Brucchi and the others is like an endless ocean. As refinement continues, Huang Long absorbs these streams of light into his body, allowing them to penetrate every corner of his mind and physique, repeatedly tempering his body and steadily enhancing his magical power at a visible pace.

The golden cloud sea churns as Huang Long’s body gradually disappears. A golden dragon writhes violently. One hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, the colorful lights within the golden cloud sea multiply like raindrops, gathering together until they cover the entire sea. The golden dragon undergoes astonishing transformations. Patch after patch of mountain-sized golden scales fall off, replaced by layers of colorful dragon scales. Eventually, it fully transforms into a Colorful Chaos Divine Dragon.

Around the Colorful Chaos Divine Dragon, clusters of vital energy also transform into various Heavenly Dragons, which swirl around it in worshipful circles. After twenty thousand years, the Colorful Chaos Divine Dragon grows even larger, with the colorful cloud sea stretching endlessly, filling the entire array space. After thirty thousand years, the entire array space begins to tremble with every twist and breath of the dragon. Fifty thousand years, seventy thousand years, one hundred thousand years—gradually, over a hundred thousand years pass.

Roar!

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar echoed through countless spaces, even reaching the Hongmeng Realm via the Sacred Cauldron’s realm. The gods of the three thousand divine planes and the Hongmeng Continent all heard this thunderous roar.

Next, an overwhelming pressure, as vast as an endless abyss, surged upward, creating a massive hole millions of miles wide in the sky above Mount Hailuo. Colorful light columns rotated continuously, illuminating the world, visible to all the gods on the Hongmeng Continent.

“What is this? A Semi-Saint? A Semi-Saint?!” In the Sacred Temple of the Litian Mountains on the Silver Fox Divine Plane, Ziniya stared in shock toward Mount Hailuo on the Hongmeng Continent. This pressure made her unable to think of resisting—only a Semi-Saint could possess such terrifying power!

“Could it be?!” Ziniya stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief. Had the Yellow Dragon reached the level of Semi-Saint?!

If there was anyone who could surpass the Semi-Saint level, it was undoubtedly the Yellow Dragon, who possessed the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron. Moreover, Ziniya sensed it was happening on Mount Hailuo.

On Mount Hailuo, the tens of trillions of descendants of the Halsh family had already knelt on the ground, bowing endlessly.

The colorful light columns continued to rotate for hours. When the pressure nearly suffocated the gods of the Hongmeng Realm, the columns disappeared, and the pressure vanished. In the sky above, a figure appeared—none other than the Yellow Dragon!

He stood there, looking down at the gods with a disdainful gaze, his aura as mighty as the sea, like that of a sacred king who commanded all gods.

“A Semi-Saint… I’ve finally reached the Semi-Saint level!” The Yellow Dragon sensed the immense power within him. He felt that with just one punch, he could pierce through the land of the Hongmeng Continent.

How thick was the land of the Hongmeng Continent? How strong was its resistance? Yet the Yellow Dragon was confident he could pierce it with one punch!

Piercing through!

Looking inward, he saw that the original golden immortal energy in his body had vanished, replaced by a colorful light. The Sea of Souls in his mind was the same, with layers of platinum-colored radiance swirling above it. These platinum lights seemed to connect with the forces of the void.

“The Hunyuan Immortal Body has finally been perfected! But what exactly are these white lights in my mind?!” The Yellow Dragon was puzzled.

“Congratulations, Young Master Yellow Dragon, on finally reaching the Semi-Saint level!”

“Congratulations, master…”

At that moment, cheers erupted from below.

The Yellow Dragon laughed heartily and descended from the sky to stand before them.

“Get up, all of you!”

“Thank you, master!”

Nis, Lus of the Harsch family, Nisler, and their descendants quickly got up, showing great respect, as the Yellow Dragon ordered them to disperse.
“Yellow Dragon, congratulations!” At that moment, Livia stepped forward and said cheerfully, gazing at the Yellow Dragon with affectionate eyes. Over a hundred thousand years had passed inside the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, while only a little over three months had gone by in the outside world. Yet during these three months, Livia had taken care of matters in the Chaos Divine Plane and rushed to Mount Hairuo to wait patiently for the Yellow Dragon to emerge.
The Yellow Dragon nodded and said, “The matters in the Chaos Divine Plane have been settled. From now on, stay at Mount Hairuo!”
Livia understood the meaning behind the Yellow Dragon’s words. Her face turned red as she nodded faintly, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
“Oak, I have some questions for you,” the Yellow Dragon said, turning to Oak beside him.
“Please ask, young master,” Oak replied respectfully.
Then, the Yellow Dragon recounted the matter of the white golden light in his mind. After hearing this, Oak smiled and said, “The young master has reached the level of Half-Saint, with his physical body attaining the Hunyuan Immortal Body. Moreover, the soul of a Half-Saint is actually different from that of a Divine King. These white golden lights are actually the laws of the Great Path!”
“The laws of the Great Path?!” the Yellow Dragon asked.
Oak nodded. “That’s right. In fact, this is also why Half-Saints can survive the great destruction of heaven and earth. With their souls containing the laws of the Great Path and their physical bodies being Hunyuan Immortal, even the Five Declines of Heavenly Beings cannot harm them!”
“I see!” the Yellow Dragon nodded.
“However, the Half-Saint’s laws of the Great Path are not complete; they are merely rudimentary. Only by achieving the status of Hunyuan Immortal Saint can these laws become complete, and the physical body will also attain an Immortal Body, not just an Immortal Body!” Oak continued.
The Yellow Dragon’s doubts were resolved, and he gradually became clearer about the path to becoming a saint in the future.
These things were unknown to the Yellow Dragon before, as Yuan Shi had never mentioned them to him.
