At only ten years old, Jun Xiaoyao was already an expert at the ninth heaven of the True Spirit Realm, enough to shock all directions.
But now, seeing Jun Xiaoyao, whose aura was rising again, everyone present was dumbfounded, their mouths agape.
He was breaking through again?
"Not good, could it be the tribulation of the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body?" Jun Zhantian looked up at the sky filled with rolling dark clouds, his brow furrowing.
Ordinary cultivators, when breaking through from the True Spirit Realm to the Divine Bridge Realm, would not encounter any heavenly tribulation.
But the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body was different.
This physique was not tolerated by heaven and earth. Besides being innately restricted by ten shackles,
whenever the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body made a major leap in realm, the heavens would send down tribulation punishment.
And from the True Spirit Realm to the Divine Bridge Realm was a major leap.
Seeing this scene, not only Jun Zhantian but also the other guests noticed it.
"Could that be... the tribulation of the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body?"
"That's right. It's rumored that when the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body crosses a major realm, it will encounter heavenly tribulation. This time, the Jun family Divine Son is in some trouble."
For cultivators, the most feared thing was undergoing tribulation.
A slight carelessness could lead to death and the dao disappearing, success or failure turning to naught in an instant.
And for a physique like the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body, the heavenly tribulation it attracted was even stronger than ordinary heavenly tribulations.
An ordinary prodigy might not even be able to withstand a single strike.
"Xiaoyao, don't worry! Grandpa and the others will protect your Dao!"
Jun Zhantian and a group of clan elders stepped forward, exuding the aura of Saint Realm Great Beings.
In the past, there had been no lack of powers that wanted to cultivate a Desolate Ancient Saintly Body.
And every time a Desolate Ancient Saintly Body underwent tribulation, a group of experts would protect its Dao, assisting it in passing the heavenly tribulation.
However, Jun Xiaoyao's divinely handsome face was as calm as water, his eyes undisturbed.
"Grandpa, there's no need. A mere heavenly tribulation, what's there to mention? Let grandson handle it alone..."
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Jun Zhantian and the others were stunned.
The numerous cultivators around also had their expressions frozen.
Just then, the lightning tribulation finally transformed into a torrent of lightning and descended!
That terrifying tribulation might was horrifying!
Jun Xiaoyao stood in the void, his black hair like satin, flowing with divine brilliance, gently扬 (fluttering) in the wind.
His white robes were like snow, his sleeves fluttering, like a banished immortal about to ride the wind away.
Jun Xiaoyao raised a single hand, and Hell's Furnace manifested once more.
The torrent of lightning directly boomed into Hell's Furnace.
Instantly, Jun Xiaoyao's body shook.
Within him, endless golden vital energy and blood surged. An illusory golden Primordial Divine Elephant suddenly appeared, carrying a vast might that suppressed all heavens and the universe!
The elephant's trunk sucked towards the sky, and rolling thunder surged into Jun Xiaoyao's body.
"A hundred thousand lightning tribulations, forge my immortal Saintly Body!"
Jun Xiaoyao not only didn't fear the lightning tribulation but instead used it as a means to temper his Desolate Ancient Saintly Body.
Rumble!
Lightning continuously fell but was unable to injure Jun Xiaoyao, at most only forcing him back.
"This... is simply a monster..." People from many powers watched, speechless, unable to utter a word.
Which prodigy, when undergoing tribulation, wasn't trembling with fear, terrified of perishing?
But Jun Xiaoyao treated the heavenly tribulation as nourishment, forging his own body.
"Sigh, it seems I still underestimated Xiaoyao..." Jun Zhantian and other clan elders all smiled wryly and shook their heads.
Sometimes, Jun Xiaoyao's talent made even them, Saint Realm Great Beings, feel as if their Dao hearts were collapsing.
If even they felt this way, one could imagine the feelings of the young prodigies who had come to the banquet.
"I feel like I'll never be able to catch up to the Jun family Divine Son in my entire life..."
"Yeah, this great era of contention seems to be the Jun family Divine Son's personal stage..."
Some top prodigies from major powers spoke like this, cracks beginning to appear in their Dao hearts.
Ultimately, the lightning tribulation could do nothing to Jun Xiaoyao.
"Disperse for me!"
Jun Xiaoyao pushed out with a palm. The Primordial Divine Elephant illusion roared towards the sky. The lightning rolled back into the firmament, and the vast expanse of dark tribulation clouds was shaken apart!
Heaven and earth finally returned to brightness.
And Jun Xiaoyao's gains were also gratifying.
Firstly, his cultivation broke through to the Divine Bridge Realm. Not only that, but he directly broke through to the late stage of the Divine Bridge Realm.
The Divine Bridge Realm was divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and great perfection.
After reaching great perfection, the divine bridge within the body would be successfully constructed.
Then came the Unity Realm, where spirit and flesh merged, becoming harmoniously one.
After that was the Dao Merging Realm, finding Dao Seeds, Immortal Seeds, and so on, and integrating them into oneself.
After Dao Merging was the Nirvana Realm, seeking a fire seed, baptizing the Divine Palace in the mind, causing the True Spirit to transform into a Yuan Shen (Primordial Spirit).
After Nirvana, strength would surge, reaching the Heaven Reaching Realm.
Finally, one would ignite the Divine Fire, opening the path to the Saint Realm.
Divine Bridge, Unity, Dao Merging, Nirvana, Heaven Reaching, Divine Fire!
These were the cultivation realms of the middle stage.
Further up were the echelons of the Saint Realm.
And Jun Xiaoyao, at only ten years old, had reached the late stage of the Divine Bridge Realm, already an absolute monster.
Usually, prodigies his age were still lingering in the Divine Palace Realm and True Spirit Realm.
The previous Long Haotian had only barely stepped into the Divine Bridge Realm with the help of the Dragon Yuan's power.
Besides his realm, Jun Xiaoyao, with the help of the lightning tribulation's power and the Dragon Yuan's energy, had once again awakened another ten thousand giant elephant micro-particles in his body.
In other words, Jun Xiaoyao's current physical strength had reached a full five hundred million jin!
This was simply horrifying!
An ordinary prodigy's physical strength would, at most, be only a few hundred thousand jin.
Even top prodigies would only have several million, or tens of millions of jin.
Jun Xiaoyao possessed a full five hundred million jin of divine strength.
Furthermore, Jun Xiaoyao discovered that the Supreme Bone in his chest was also absorbing the power of the heavenly tribulation and the Dragon Yuan.
"It seems the Heaven's Tribulation Light is not the complete form of this divine ability. I'll have to find ways to nourish this bone more in the future," Jun Xiaoyao thought.
The Supreme Bone, like the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body, possessed infinite potential and would always accompany Jun Xiaoyao.
But similarly, these two special physiques also desperately needed the nourishment of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
They were simply two bottomless pits.
"Fortunately, I was born into an ancient aristocratic family. If I were born into a small family, even resources would be scarce, let alone cultivation."
Jun Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh again; being reincarnated well was truly an art.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about the flesh and blood of a Quasi-Supreme," Jun Xiaoyao thought.
"Come, Brother Xiaoyao, eat some dragon meat!" Jiang Luoli was spiritually beautiful, her snow-white forehead glowing with wisdom. She was very intelligent and had been observing Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, she brought over a plate of roasted dragon meat, presented it to Jun Xiaoyao, blinked her watery, bright eyes, looking very well-behaved.
"Thank you." Jun Xiaoyao nodded faintly.
The way he ate was even more composed and elegant than Jiang Luoli.
It had to be said, the life essence in Quasi-Supreme level dragon meat was simply astonishing. The Supreme Bone in his chest was also desperately absorbing it.
Jun Xiaoyao was also very much looking forward to the day his Supreme Bone transformed.
Just the Heaven's Tribulation Light alone was so formidable.
If it transformed again, to what extent would his Supreme Bone become powerful?
"After signing in at the tenth birthday banquet, there's still the Yuan Tian Supreme's Secret Trove sign-in. It seems I need to start preparing for that afterwards," Jun Xiaoyao thought.
The sign-in rewards were truly abundant. The Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saintly Body, the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, and the Supreme Bone were all of great help to him.
Jun Xiaoyao was very curious, what reward would he get from signing in at Yuan Tian Supreme's Secret Trove?
"And that Xiao Chen, I wonder if he still has any value for me to harvest," Jun Xiaoyao thought.
After the tenth birthday banquet, Jun Xiaoyao could finally enter the world and travel the Immortal Realm.
He was also very much looking forward to this vast and boundless Immortal Realm.
"This great era of contention, I hope it won't be too uninteresting for me..." Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and sighed.
He rather felt a sense of "invincibility is truly lonely."
