Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

A month later, the demonic beasts throughout the mountain range suddenly became restless!

Originally immersed in their cultivation, they felt a soul-stirring tremor from an unknown source.

It forced them to wake up from their cultivation states.

"What is causing such upheaval in heaven and earth?"

Lu Qingyang's face showed a serious expression as he speculated inwardly.

Although his divine sense hadn't detected anything unusual,

There was a voice from deep within his soul, as if predicting an impending cataclysm.

Before Lu Qingyang could ponder deeply, waves of immense auras erupted from the mountains.

Although these auras weren't as overwhelming as the golden divine eagle's, they had all reached the Tier-2 level.

At that moment,

An aura capable of crushing the heavens suddenly surged.

Under the clear moonlight, Lu Qingyang clearly identified it.

It was the golden figure etched in his memory—the golden divine eagle.

Even after five years,

That terrifying existence still left a deep impression on Lu Qingyang's soul.

Now the golden divine eagle reappeared, its aura still domineering and unrivaled.

As this powerful aura soared into the sky,

The demonic beasts that had also released strong auras seemed to be suppressed.

They all retracted their auras and looked up at the golden figure in the sky.

In the eyes filled with violent gleams, there was a natural reverence for the supreme being.

It demonstrated the golden divine eagle's supreme status in the mountain range.

Suddenly, the sky shook!

The previously quiet sky cracked like broken porcelain.

Following that, torrential blood rain poured down from the cracks.

Some of the blood rain landed on the golden divine eagle, but most of it fell on the other demonic beasts.

[Ding! Refined Immortal Blood, gained 100 cultivation points]

[Ding! Refined Immortal Blood, gained 100 cultivation points]

[Ding! Refined Immortal Blood, gained 100 cultivation points]

...

Before Lu Qingyang could fully grasp the situation,

A torrent of information flooded his mind.

Along with it came a surging power within him.

In just a few moments, the accumulated cultivation points were enough to support him in breaking through to the perfect Tier-1 stage.

Without hesitation, Lu Qingyang immediately chose to break through.

"Rumble!"

A vast power swept out.

The ancient tree, originally only sixty meters tall, grew rapidly to ninety meters!

Its root system expanded from six hundred meters to twelve hundred meters.

Both cultivation and strength were significantly enhanced.

However, despite the increase in power, Lu Qingyang did not indulge in joy.

He saw that the blood rain continued to fall, and the notifications in his mind kept coming.

[Ding! Refined Immortal Blood, gained 100 cultivation points]

[Ding! Refined Immortal Blood, gained 100 cultivation points]

[Ding! Refined Immortal Blood, gained 100 cultivation points]

...

[Name: Lu Qingyang]

[True Form: Ancient Tree]

[Lifespan: 15/2500]

[Realm: Perfect Tier-1 (500/)]

[Divine Abilities: Soul-Devouring Entanglement (Tier-1), Life Burst (Tier-1), Spirit Integration (Tier-1), Ancient Tree Aptitude (Tier-1)]

...

Watching his rapidly rising cultivation and steadily increasing strength,

Lu Qingyang's long-dormant Dao heart finally began to stir uncontrollably.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

He had thought it would take at least ten years of hard cultivation to break through to Tier-2.

But unexpectedly, this celestial blood rain gave him a glimpse of breakthrough in an instant.

Although he didn't know the true origin of the Immortal Blood,

One thing was certain:

Immortal Blood was a rare treasure!

Just one drop could bring a hundred cultivation points.

If this blood rain lasted long enough, not only breaking through to Tier-2 but even reaching Tier-3 was within the realm of possibility.

Meanwhile,

Lu Qingyang also noticed other demonic beasts in the mountain range showing varying degrees of breakthrough signs due to the Immortal Blood.

Ultimately, his gaze locked onto the golden divine eagle soaring in the sky.

Clearly, it was gaining even greater benefits.

The increasingly terrifying aura emanating from it showed that

The divine eagle was also using this opportunity to attempt a breakthrough.

Nevertheless, Lu Qingyang did not focus too much on the golden divine eagle.

He concentrated on absorbing the Immortal Blood's power to accelerate his own breakthrough.

Having reached perfect Tier-1,

His vast root system spread over twelve hundred meters, allowing him to absorb more Immortal Blood.

All the Immortal Blood falling within his roots' range was greedily absorbed by Lu Qingyang.

In less than half an hour, he had accumulated the required ten thousand cultivation points.

In an instant, he chose to fully break through.

...

"Boom!"

Underground, an ancient tree grew at an astonishing speed!

From ninety meters, it shot up to three hundred meters in an instant.

Like a green umbrella holding up the sky, its branches swayed, and mystical Daoist symbols flowed on its trunk.

At the same time, the ground shook.

Thick roots like dragons and snakes rapidly expanded.

In the time it took to eat a meal, the ancient tree's root system had spread to cover a three-kilometer radius.

Now, as Lu Qingyang examined his status, he was once again shocked.

...

[Name: Lu Qingyang]

[True Form: Ancient Tree]

[Lifespan: 15/5000]

[Realm: Early Tier-2 (0/)]

[Divine Abilities: Soul-Devouring Entanglement (Tier-2), Life Burst (Tier-2), Spirit Integration (Tier-2), Ancient Tree Aptitude (Tier-2), Divine Fruit (Tier-2), Divine Whisper (Tier-2), Insightful Vision (Tier-2)]

...

As Lu Qingyang expected, breaking through to Tier-2 awakened brand new divine abilities.

What was even more gratifying was that his existing divine abilities had all advanced to Tier-2.

Among them, the Tier-2 Soul-Devouring Entanglement allowed Lu Qingyang to control twenty life roots simultaneously.

The attack range was broader, and the power was more formidable.

As for Life Burst and Spirit Integration, there were no significant changes.

Especially Life Burst, which still provided him with one point of cultivation daily.

Lu Qingyang was pleased by this.

It meant that as his cultivation advanced, this passive ability to enhance strength hadn't lost its effectiveness.

Had he not advanced to Tier-2, it might have taken two days to gain one cultivation point.

Regarding the seemingly deeper Ancient Tree Aptitude,

Though Lu Qingyang hadn't fully understood its changes,

He believed his foundation had further strengthened.

Finally, when he looked at the descriptions of the newly awakened divine abilities,

He couldn't help but feel a surge of uncontrollable excitement deep within his heart.
