Chapter 785: One Hundred Thousand Ancient Essence Blood

“Another transformative leap to Great Perfection. It’s truly astounding!”

“Indeed. A breakthrough to Great Perfection is already incredibly difficult. What’s more terrifying is that he can undergo such a transformation and still boost his strength without losing any Battle Power… He’s an absolutely dazzling talent!”

Que De and Wan Jimie exclaimed once more.

Ye Tianling, however, shook his head and said, “It’s not as simple as you think. This time, Crossing the Tribulation… I’d consider it a failure.”

Hearing this, Que De was clearly unconvinced. “Ye Tianling, talk straight. We’re brothers.”

Wan Jimie, thinking Ye Tianling was just being smug, couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Brother Tianling, if you call this a failure, then what would you call success? Shattering the Hell Celestial Tribulation with a single punch? Or making the Young Emperor kneel, kowtow, and admit defeat?”

A muscle in Ye Tianling’s face twitched. He shook his head and said, “I should spend some effort refining my bloodline. My bloodline… is too weak.”

When Que De and Wan Jimie heard this, their expressions became quite a sight to behold.

“Your bloodline is too weak?”

“An Unparalleled Divine Dragon Bloodline like that, and you call it weak?”

Que De and Wan Jimie felt like they were about to cough up blood.

The two of them were hit hard by Ye Tianling’s words.

At first, they had also thought Ye Tianling was just posturing and showing off. After all, he was usually quite fond of boasting.

But at this moment, Ye Tianling was clearly not doing that. And indeed, his spirits were low.

“What’s wrong… Did Crossing the Tribulation not go smoothly?”

Que De asked, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

Wan Jimie also put away his playful attitude, his expression turning serious.

“I’m afraid that beings like us, to put it bluntly, aren’t true geniuses. A true genius refines one hundred thousand Ancient Essence Blood, transforms their Three Souls and Seven Spirits with a Hundred Battle Power Dao Patterns, and achieves a complete unity of Spirit and Body through Dual Cultivation.”

Ye Tianling took a deep breath, his voice grave.

Que De and Wan Jimie shuddered upon hearing this. “Refining one hundred thousand Ancient Essence Blood… Where did you hear about that?”

Ye Tianling pondered for a moment, then decided not to hide it, and recounted the process of Crossing the Tribulation in detail.

Aside from a few core secrets, like the Mechanical Heart, he concealed almost nothing else.

After hearing Ye Tianling’s account, and having personally witnessed the entire battle, both of their expressions immediately became incredibly solemn.

“This matter is likely beyond imagination. If we go by the trends shown in the Celestial Tribulation’s transformations, since the Celestial Tribulation could manifest it, then there must be a Cultivator who has actually achieved it.”

Que De said pensively.

“Isn’t that obvious? That Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King definitely achieved it!”

Wan Jimie scoffed.

Que De shook his head. “I’m not talking about the past. I’m saying that in the current World, there are prodigies who have already reached this step. You have to understand, a Celestial Tribulation doesn’t materialize from thin air; it is a Manifestation of the Celestial Dao. And a Manifestation of the Celestial Dao must be based on something. Although it manifested a Young Emperor, it’s a fact that it must have held something back. But if it can be manifested, that also proves that a Cultivator has already unlocked this particular Heavenly Dao Law. It’s equivalent to the Law being activated! We just don’t know who this person is, or how many Cultivators have unlocked this Law and know how to refine one hundred thousand Ancient Essence Blood. And it’s obvious that since you, Tianling, have reached this point, you must have come into contact with this kind of Dao before, and it’s even highly likely you’ve undergone a certain refinement process. We just don’t know when you started, or when you gave up.”

Que De’s tone was very certain.

Ye Tianling instantly recalled how he had once destroyed and then re-gathered his Dragon Soul Divine Blood, refining every single blood cell within it.

But that kind of refinement and Cultivation was more for practicing the Netherworld Life and Death Path, synchronizing with his Bloodline Power to vibrate at high frequencies and unleash his Battle Power.

He had never thought he could continue to refine his bloodline even further, to transform every single drop of blood into Ancient Dragon Soul Divine Blood!

Ye Tianling could just imagine it: if all the blood in his body was as powerful as that single, incomparably potent drop of Ancient Dragon Soul Divine Blood, would his Realm even matter anymore?

Que De’s words helped Ye Tianling find a new direction for his transformation.

At the same time, it also made Ye Tianling realize that no matter how the world changed, if his own bloodline, Soul, and his Essence, Qi, and Soul were truly one, he would have no fear of changes in the Heaven and Earth Laws. His strength would be eternal.

‘The fundamental Celestial Dao Rules, combined with my own one hundred thousand Ancient Dragon Soul Divine Blood, and my Three Souls and Seven Spirits in complete Harmonization Dao…’

‘That is true power!’

He knew the method, but how to actually achieve the transformation was an extremely difficult matter.

How was he supposed to refine one hundred thousand Ancient Essence Blood?

‘Must I go back to my previous Cultivation Technique?’

“Tianling, you don’t need to worry too much. In my opinion, you’re already powerful enough. At the very least, those prodigies in the Soul Burial Starry Sky probably couldn’t even withstand a single blow from you. The many prodigies in the Soul Burial Starry Sky Area are all beings who distinguished themselves through countless Star Domain transformations.”

Only after explaining all this did Que De begin to console Ye Tianling.

Of course, this was also the truth.

“That’s right. If you’re comparing yourself to the Young Emperor, the gap in that comparison is already huge. That past era was a true golden age. Although we’re also in a golden age now, this era has only just begun. It’s like the peerless prodigies, the Divine Sons and Divine Ladies, of the Void Realm Sixth Transformation back then. How could they possibly compare to the Divine Sons and Divine Ladies of the Void Realm today? The principle is the same. Once this Cosmos is no longer in turmoil and has completely stabilized, it will become clear who is strong and who is weak! Besides, no matter what, you ultimately succeeded in Crossing the Tribulation this time. You can call it a fluke, or you can call it luck, but the result is fixed: you succeeded in Crossing the Tribulation! Sometimes, flukes, luck, and even trump cards are all a part of one’s strength. Tianling, having cultivated to this point, you can’t get attached to appearances!”

Wan Jimie also began to seriously counsel Ye Tianling.

To them, Ye Tianling was already outstanding enough. After all, in terms of background or foundation, how could Ye Tianling possibly compare to a true Emperor’s Son?

Forget an Emperor’s Son, Ye Tianling couldn’t even compare to a Divine Son or Divine Lady—at least, he didn’t have their resources or their backing.

It could be said that it was already extremely difficult for Ye Tianling to have grown to this stage on his own.

“I’m not discouraged, and I’ve moved past it. You two don’t need to worry. I’ve simply become aware of my own shortcomings. If I hadn’t realized my own inadequacies this time, I’m afraid the real dangers I might face in the future would be unimaginable.”

Ye Tianling said with a smile.

“It’s good that you can think that way. We’ve opened the Emperor’s Tomb now, so only after you’ve recovered can you take us inside to explore. If you’re not in good shape, how would we dare to venture in on our own?”

Que De immediately became enthusiastic, bringing the topic back to the issue they cared about most, while also trying to distract Ye Tianling.
