However, Ye Fan endured the pain, successfully fusing the Godhead into his body. Even so, the Godhead had not yet completely bonded with him. If he so much as moved, it would fall out of his body. Clearly, this was not yet a success.
Therefore, he began to consolidate and temper his body. Over the next few days, Ye Fan pushed himself to the brink, becoming a wretched sight, neither human nor ghost. It was impossible to describe his misery.
It is often said that the path of cultivation is a process of self-mutilation, and this is indeed true. Is facing tribulations not self-mutilation? Is achieving breakthroughs not self-mutilation?
「After half a month」
Ye Fan’s eyes snapped open. With a great shout, his seclusion chamber instantly collapsed, but he had already appeared outside just before it crumbled. At that mont, he stood alone, looking down upon the world as endless Divine Power radiated from his body.
"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH! King of Heaven, you damn bastard! What the hell have you done?" a disheveled and furious voice roared.
Ye Fan turned and was surprised to see Fa Ming. "Senior," Ye Fan said imdiately, "what’s got you so upset?"
"My God, look at what you’ve done! Weren’t you just in seclusion? Couldn’t you have been a little more low-key? You destroyed the buildings we spent years constructing! They were built for Spiritual Energy circulation, and each one was priceless. How are you going to compensate us?"
Just as Ye Fan was about to get angry, a smile instantly appeared on his face. He chuckled awkwardly at Fa Ming, "Brother Fa Ming, now you’re making us sound like strangers!
"Look, I just saved the entire Spirit Suppressing Domain. Besides, I’ve condensed a Godhead, so shouldn’t you all be happy? You know, I’m the first person to condense a Godhead in thousands of years!
"This ans our Spirit Suppressing Domain is destined to rise, and I’ll be the main force against the Divine Domain in the future. This is no ti to be so nitpicky, right?" Ye Fan said soothingly.
"You..."
Fa Ming was rendered speechless by Ye Fan’s argunt and could only watch as he beat a hasty retreat. Of course, Ye Fan hadn’t actually wanted to leave so quickly, but he could already hear several other angry shouts. If he stood his ground for a war of words, he would undoubtedly be defeated.
By the ti Ye Fan landed, he was already at the edge of the Spirit Suppressing Domain. He was in no hurry to head for the Divine Domain, as he was preparing for a bold attempt. He was going to undergo a true Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to godhood. In this world, no one had ever succeeded, because everyone feared the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.
Who would dare disobey the suppressive might of the Heavenly Dao? The Power of Heaven was the most terrifying force in existence. Thus, he was about to make a bold attempt, one that not even the Ancestor of Tianyuan had succeeded in. Ye Fan wanted to see if he possessed so truly extraordinary potential.
He sat cross-legged on a mountain peak and began to enter a deep ditative state, allowing himself to achieve a realm of self-forgetfulness before breaking through. It didn’t take long for him to enter this state. While others might need three days or even a month, for Ye Fan, it was as easy as falling asleep.
Ten minutes later, he entered the ditative state. Once there, Ye Fan quickly gathered his power to shatter the bottleneck. However, this bottleneck seed incredibly tough. Despite gathering an imnse amount of power, he still couldn’t break through.
Impossible!
Ye Fan was angry and disappointed. He had poured so much power into it, yet it wouldn’t even budge. Still, his goal remained unchanged. He gathered the Dragon Emperor’s Power, preparing to force his way through.
"Break!"
Ye Fan spat a mouthful of blood as he finally shattered the bottleneck. The mont it broke, the heavens and earth changed color. The sky filled with dense, dark clouds, crackling with thunder and lightning.
Without a doubt, the true tribulation was about to begin. Ye Fan opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, feeling an imnse pressure bear down on him. He had faced a Heavenly Tribulation before breaking through to Demigod, and that one had been powerful. But compared to this, the previous one was child’s play.
Although he was afraid, he still roared, "Bring it on! Let the storm rage even more fiercely!"
At that mont, a bolt from the Heavenly Tribulation, as thick as a bowl, struck him. Excruciating pain shot through Ye Fan’s entire body.
"Too weak! That just tickles!" Ye Fan said with disdain.
He was the type to talk tough even when facing death. The pain was imnse, but he held on, even starting to antagonize the Heavenly Tribulation.
But in the next mont, Ye Fan was dumbfounded. A bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket was forming in the sky. This was an extra-large model. He was completely stunned.
He quickly pleaded, "I—I was just joking. Let’s take it easy, shall we? There’s no need to go to such extres, right?
"Besides, we’ll have plenty of chances to et in the future. If you go easy on now, we can still be friends later!" he said with an awkward smile.
But the Heavenly Tribulation didn’t seem to be in a joking mood. The massive bolt plumted from the sky.
"Damn it!"
Ye Fan scrambled to dodge, but he was too slow. The lightning from the Heavenly Tribulation slamd into the top of his head. The next mont, he was lying weakly on the ground, looking utterly wretched. He couldn’t even lift his head as his body trembled uncontrollably. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation was no joke. Feeble and shaking, Ye Fan staggered to his feet.
"Damn you, Heaven! No rcy, huh? Co on, then! Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!" Ye Fan shouted in fury.
He released all his inner restraints, and the bucket-thick lightning struck down again. Ye Fan braced himself, unsure how long he could last. All he could do was his best.
Three more bolts of lightning struck in succession, and Ye Fan was slamd to the ground like a helpless turtle, unable to even move. He was like a corpse. He knew that if another bolt ca, he couldn’t take it. At this rate, he would just have to give up on the tribulation and the breakthrough.
His Godhead crackled. Fortunately, though simple, the Godhead he had condensed was solid. Even after taking so many hits from the tribulation, it remained perfectly intact.
The next mont, Ye Fan got up and looked at the sky, only to discover that the Heavenly Tribulation had vanished. He was overjoyed. If it hadn’t disappeared, he really wouldn’t have been able to hold on any longer. The pressure had been crushing. The Heavenly Tribulation always seed to be unfair to him, pushing him to the brink of death.
He sprang to his feet and surveyed his own cultivation realm.
I broke through just like that?
Ye Fan could hardly believe it. It felt as if he had broken through in a dream. The breakthrough itself was miraculous. However, he had not yet beco a true god. His Godhead had not yet transford, and only after its transformation would he truly ascend.
He quickly focused on his Godhead, preparing to baptize it with his own power.
