Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1506 - 361: The Physical Body Becomes Holy, The Yang God Law Body

Chapter 1506: Chapter 361: The Physical Body Becomes Holy, The Yang God Law Body

At this moment, Gu Chen bathed in the endless Sea of Dao Light rain, with strands of Primordial Qi and the Light of the Beginning swirling around, all flowing into his body like swallows returning to their nest.

Tens of thousands of pores on his body glowed as an azure fluid filled with flickering thunder appeared above the firmament. That was the rare Thunder Tribulation Fluid, flowing like a waterfall this time, falling from the sky and enveloping Gu Chen completely.

He stood in place, eyes closed, lips curled upwards, showing an intriguing smile filled with intense joy.

The baptism by heaven and earth was a sublime pleasure for every cultivator breaking through to the Primordial Realm.

The sensation was indescribable; Gu Chen felt every part of his body, down to the tiniest particles, cheering and resonating with the Dao, all while rapidly growing stronger.

This was precisely why reaching the Primordial Realm was one of the key reasons it was considered the domain of the mighty.

The baptism signified the cultivator’s recognition by the heavens, closing the gap even further with the myriad Dao, or rather, reaching a certain affinity with the Heavenly Dao.

It’s like the same technique used by a Primordial Realm powerhouse compared to a non-Primordial cultivator; the power is utterly different.

When the former launches an attack, all the myriad Dao resonate with it, amplifying its power to a transcendental state, where even a commoner’s hoeing could rival mighty Divine Powers in the hands of the supreme beings.

But the latter, without having experienced the celestial baptism, naturally cannot achieve this.

"Life’s essence is sublimating, advancing at an incredible speed, strength leaping too swiftly." Gu Chen whispered to himself, feeling his power changing and advancing with every second, unable to stop.

And the Heavenly Dao, as if within reach, shrouded him in mystery.

From afar, Sa Fajia Yin and the three mighty heavenly demons looked on but made no move to approach.

Because the celestial baptism was also a part of the tribulation; if they intervened now, there was a slim chance they might disrupt Gu Chen’s opportunity, but the three demons would also be subject to divine retribution and face their own tribulation.

"Just wait a little longer, even if he successfully overcomes the tribulation, what of it? He has merely entered the Primordial Realm, and with our combined strength, we can easily capture him!" Jiayin spoke with a cold and stern expression, his body emanating a powerful demonic aura.

Although Gu Chen’s tribulation was unparalleled and the celestial baptism phenomenon astonishing, Jiayin naturally had no confidence in facing this junior who had just entered the Primordial Realm in a one-on-one fight.

But with Sa Fa present, the situation was different.

Sa Fa stood in place with three pairs of black wings grown on his back, silently staring at Gu Chen, ready to strike with a thunderous blow as soon as the celestial baptism ended, not wanting to give any chance to his opponent.

"Hm?" But at that moment, his expression changed slightly as he looked towards the sky.

The dark clouds that had dispersed were showing signs of gathering again.

"What on earth has this boy done to anger the heavens that the thunder tribulation is not yet over?" Jiayin also paused, followed by a surge of joy on his face.

"It seems, there’s no need for us to act; this boy is about to be bombarded by the thunder tribulation," said the Flame Demon in similar sentiments.

Amidst the boundless light, with a concentrated expression, Gu Chen suddenly looked up, sensing the arrival of the thunder tribulation.

"What is this?" He was puzzled and didn’t understand; having already successfully overcome the tribulation and received the celestial baptism, by all means, it should have ended, so why was there still another tribulation descending?

The next moment, enlightenment dawned on him, bestowed by the heavens.

"A tribulation of the Yuan Shen?!" Gu Chen’s expression trembled, realizing why another tribulation had appeared.

"The third realm of the Yuan Shen—Yang Shen (Yang Spirit)!" His expression sank to its extreme, for his Yuan Shen had already reached the complete state of the second realm, Star Pointing, before undergoing the tribulation.

And now, having received the celestial baptism, Gu Chen’s whole being underwent an all-encompassing sublimation, naturally including the Yuan Shen.

Thus, the tribulation of the Yang Shen arrived.

Boom!

Suddenly, an invisible and intangible thunder struck, and although Gu Chen’s Yuan Shen remained in his sea of knowledge, it was unstoppable, his whole body shaking tremendously.

The Yuan Shen’s thunder was shadowless and formless, the most elusive.

This was also the most perilous ordeal for the Yuan Shen; history had seen many prodigies, even those with hope to achieve the highest peak of existence, fall to this tribulation.

Buzz!

The next moment, Gu Chen’s Yuan Shen burst out from the center of his forehead, with nine life stars above his head sprinkling threads of starlight, forming a crown that enveloped him.

In his hand, he held an ancient jade missing a corner, facing that invisible and intangible heavenly tribulation.

Boom boom boom!

In the realm invisible to the naked eye, thunder after thunder struck down, each as thick as a mountain, laced with threads of Supreme Solar essence, which was incredibly damaging to the Yuan Shen.

For a cultivator’s Yuan Shen, in some sense, is of a Yin nature; this is why some ghosts fear sunlight or the fiery blood of cultivators.

And the realm of Yang Shen is about rebirth for the Yuan Shen, leading to all kinds of wondrous abilities after overcoming the tribulation.

It can be said that even among the strongest in the Primordial Realm, no one has reached the level of Yang Shen.

Such rarity speaks for the Yang Shen.

And Gu Chen, having just entered the Primordial Realm, faced such a tribulation, naturally quite challenging.

Fortunately, his cultivation techniques were always characterized by their utmost Yang and unwavering attributes; over time, his Yuan Shen had also acquired a hint of Yang energy, which gave him a higher resistance against these thunder strikes.

Crackle and pop!

Endless thunders—visible only with a Yuan Shen’s senses—poured down, each carrying the aura of Supreme Yang, as if rounds of divine suns smashing down intent on completely burning Gu Chen’s Yuan Shen to nothing.

A blazing Yuan Shen fire burned upon Gu Chen’s Yuan Shen, the nine life stars raining down vast starlight to douse the flames, while the ancient jade, containing the mightiest legacy of old, radiated a cleaning light for protection.

Gu Chen’s Yuan Shen was dignified, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, receiving the baptism of thunder, a delicate balance formed between them in this moment.

From a distance, the heavenly demon Jiayin frowned and said: "This boy isn’t going to succeed in the tribulation again, is he?"

Breaking into the Primordial Realm, undergoing two consecutive tribulations, seemed a hopeless situation to anyone, yet Gu Chen appeared on the verge of success, astonishing even the heavenly demons.

Sa Fajia Yin frowned. He sensed that if Gu Chen could successfully transcend the tribulation, his strength would surge once again, but for now, they had no good solutions.

"No worry, when we join hands, that kid has just entered the Primordial Realm, and he doesn’t even have time to get familiar with his techniques. The advantage is on our side," Jiayin said confidently.

"Indeed," the flame demon agreed and nodded.

Buzz!

Just at that moment, with the help of the ancient jade and the nine life stars, a ten-thousand-zhang radiance burst forth, like a sun ascending to the sky, endless divine flames burning. Gu Chen’s soul tribulation had ended!

The successful transcendence and advancement into Yang God meant that Gu Chen’s soul had completely transformed into something different; his second body now radiated an unparalleled and imposing aura, looking nothing like a soul, indistinguishable from his real body.

Once Yang God was formed, Yang energy permeated through the soul, Yin and Yang combined, allowing the solidification of a legal body. At this level, even if a cultivator’s physical body perished, the Yang God could still remain in the world perpetually!

That is to say, from now on, Gu Chen’s soul was no different from his second real body.

This is the marvelous aspect of the third realm of the soul—the Yang God!

"To me, if I compare the world to a bitter sea and want to cross to the other shore, the physical body is the boat, and the soul is the paddle, both of which are indispensable," Gu Chen murmured.

This also indicated his path: the physical body and soul would always advance side by side, without abandoning either.

After achieving Yang God, there were various mystical aspects to explore, which required Gu Chen to spend time carefully exploring.

The legal body soon dispersed and reverted back into the soul, flying into Gu Chen’s sea of consciousness and taking its seat at the very center.

"The ancient jade, containing legacies from ages past, is truly important," Gu Chen sighed. Without this jade, he might not have been able to successfully transcend the tribulation.

Boom!

A loud noise, as if originating from a tempestuous divine sea, set off boundless storms, the Sea of Dao Light surged between heaven and earth, the light of order shimmered, and various wonders appeared as the most violent part of the celestial baptism arrived.

Yin and Yang Qi, the power of the five elements, accompanied by the rotation of the Four Symbols, were all absorbed into Gu Chen’s body.

Chains of order manifested and entwined around his body, tightening before slowly assimilating into him.

The ethereal light and auspicious Qi flowed in the sky, colorful and strange, with mystery and oddity reaching the extreme.

Later on, one Dao vortex after another appeared, like worlds spewing endless energy, all being absorbed into Gu Chen.

His body seemed like a bottomless pit, refusing none.

Later on, a soul emerged, also forming a legal body, sitting cross-legged in the air, breathing in and out; such fluctuations were like a star domain pulsating, which was extremely astonishing.

The more they observed, the heavier the expressions became on the faces of Sa Fajia Yin and the other two heavenly demons. They felt the difficulty of dealing with Gu Chen.

Even Jiayin was not so optimistic anymore. He was ready to strike at any moment; he felt a hint of trepidation from the slight aura emanating from Gu Chen.

The phenomenon surrounding Gu Chen was magnificent, enveloping his entire being. Eventually, even Sa Fajia Yin and the others could no longer see the scene within.

But the three weren’t idle during this time; they were all breathing in massive amounts of demonic Qi, turning the power of the entire Forbidden Zone of Spirits into their own, ready to suppress Gu Chen forcibly once the celestial baptism ended, giving him no chance to counterattack.

Thus, three days and nights passed, and Gu Chen’s celestial baptism was finally drawing to a close.

The original Forbidden Zone of Spirits, filled with eerie and chill forces, also became radiant with light because of Gu Chen, turning into a seemingly holy place.

Within the Sea of Dao Light condensed from endless laws, Gu Chen opened his eyes. He stretched his body, feeling an unprecedented level of extreme might!

"Lift my hand to overturn the heavens," he muttered to himself. These four words were the most direct representation of his current power.

For it wasn’t just a breakthrough in cultivation level; his soul had broken through to become the rarely seen Yang God of ancient and modern times. Moreover, because of transcending the Thunder Tribulation and undergoing the baptism of heaven and earth, Gu Chen’s physical body had also broken through not long before!

That is to say, his body had achieved sanctification!

Both physical body and soul, breaking into the third realm of the Primordial Realm simultaneously, was absolutely a myth that could shake all the worlds.

For one must know, the fourth realm of both physical body and soul is something that only the highest beings could achieve, also recognized as the end of the cultivation path!

And the third realm of the physical body is essentially the limit below the supreme state.

This means that in terms of achievements of both, Gu Chen was already the pinnacle of the upper realms today!

And only the baptism of the strongest heavenly tribulation could help Gu Chen reach this step.

"My cultivation techniques, divine powers, and legal bodies have all changed," Gu Chen’s eyes sparkled, and in the next moment, he summoned a panel in front of him.

Or rather, a completely new panel!
