The Dragon Nest rumbled.
The entire secret realm began to tremble violently, and the dragon bones that had lain silent for countless millennia let out mournful cries.
All of this seemed to welcome their king.
Within Qin Hao’s sea of consciousness,
Xiao Dingtian’s pupils shrank sharply. He saw deep within Qin Hao’s sea of consciousness—a pair of eyes had opened.
What kind of eyes were they?
Golden vertical pupils, fiercer than the sun, deeper than the abyss.
There was no emotion in those eyes, only the indifference and majesty of the creature at the top of the food chain.
“Roar—!!!”
A dragon’s cry exploded from within Qin Hao.
That sound pierced through the sea of consciousness, through the Dragon Nest, through the entire secret realm, and shot straight into the skies.
The two guards outside the secret realm were shaken to the point their legs went weak. They collapsed to the ground, their faces pale.
Throughout the Ten Thousand Immortals Heaven, countless powerful figures were drawn by that roar of the dragon.
“What’s happening? It sounded like it came from that sealed secret realm earlier. Could some ultimate treasure have emerged?”
“Something unusual. With such a commotion, the treasure that’s appeared must be extraordinary. Let’s go take a look.”
…
Inside Qin Hao’s sea of consciousness, a colossal black dragon soared up from the depths of his awareness.
Its body seemed to stretch across ten thousand miles, each black dragon scale like meticulously carved black jade.
With a light flick of its tail, it shattered the divine thoughts of Xiao Dingtian that had flooded into Qin Hao’s limbs and bones.
“W-what is this? Y-your sea of consciousness… how do you have such a monster inside?”
Xiao Dingtian panicked, fear finally showing on his face.
It was a trembling from the very depths of his soul.
The black dragon lowered its head, its golden vertical pupils locked onto Xiao Dingtian’s phantom,
“Go!”
Qin Hao waved his hand, and the black dragon charged toward Xiao Dingtian.
The dragon opened its massive maw and bit down on Xiao Dingtian’s phantom.
“No—!!!”
Xiao Dingtian let out a blood-curdling scream. Under the vast dragon might of the Ancient Dragon Emperor Dharma Form, this strain of his consciousness rapidly dissolved and crumbled.
Soon, Qin Hao’s sea of consciousness regained its calm.
“Hmph, with the Ancient Dragon Emperor Dharma Form, even if a real Immortal Emperor barged into my sea of consciousness, they’d suffer a great loss in ten breaths.”
“You’re just a wisp of an Immortal Emperor’s will, and you thought you could stir up trouble? Did you really think I’d try to refine an Immortal Emperor’s dual-pupils without any preparation?”
Qin Hao curled his lips, then continued refining the dual-pupils.
Qin Hao felt a massive, unimaginable pupil power surging into his eyes. It wasn’t just raw force—it also carried Xiao Dingtian’s countless years of insights and mastery over those eyes.
The information was vast and overwhelming.
Qin Hao’s temples throbbed, and veins bulged across his forehead.
But he gritted his teeth and endured this violent onslaught.
His own dual-pupils worked frantically, striving to merge with Xiao Dingtian’s.
Time passed, minute by minute.
With the aid of the Heaven-Swallowing Pupil-Devouring Art, after three full days, Qin Hao finally succeeded in refining Xiao Dingtian’s dual-pupils.
The moment the refinement was complete, a violent roar erupted within Qin Hao.
It was the sound of spiritual energy surging through his meridians—like a river breaking its levees, unstoppable!
“I can’t suppress my cultivation any longer. I’ll break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm right here!”
Qin Hao flipped his palm, and a purple-gold pill appeared in his hand—
It was the Tribulation-Breaking Pill he had refined in the Ten Directions Netherworld using the Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
Qin Hao swallowed the pill in one gulp, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and focused. He began to charge into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
The moment the pill entered his stomach, a warm power exploded from his dantian.
Where it passed, his spiritual energy turned into boiling magma, violently hammering at the invisible barrier between the Great Perfection of the Mahayana Realm and the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Above the Dragon Nest, the sky transformed.
The once-clear sky darkened in just a few breaths.
Thick, oppressive black tribulation clouds gathered visibly, radiating a terrifying pressure.
The tribulation clouds churned like boiling water, with dark red lightning bolts flickering through them, emitting low rumbles—as if heaven and earth themselves were roaring.
Ah Long and Ah Hu looked up sharply, their faces changing instantly.
“Th-this… is the heavenly tribulation for the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?”
Ah Long’s eyes bulged as he spoke, his voice trembling.
Ah Hu swallowed hard, staring at the heavy, thick tribulation clouds pressing lower and lower. He forced out the words,
“Young Lord… are you really breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm? This tribulation feels more terrifying than the one I faced when I broke through to the Earth Immortal Realm!”
Faced with such a tribulation, Qin Hao showed no fear.
His eyes flashed, black dragon scales emerged on his body, and he stood like a drawn sword, pointing straight at the heavens.
“Come on. Entertain me!”
The moment he spoke, the first heavenly thunderbolt struck. It couldn’t even be called lightning—
It was a thunder dragon, fully dark red, hundreds of feet long, roaring down from the tribulation clouds with the power to annihilate everything.
“Perfect! Refine it!”
Qin Hao’s dual-pupils flashed with black light, and he forcibly devoured that heavenly thunderbolt into his body.
The violent power rampaged through him, and Qin Hao used that chaotic energy to temper his own body.
Ah Long and Ah Hu stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.
“No way… is this even possible? That single thunderbolt could kill an ordinary immortal! Is the Young Lord really in the Mahayana Realm?”
“Shh! Don’t disturb the Young Lord during his tribulation!”
The tribulation clouds gave Qin Hao no rest. The second bolt, the third, the fourth came in quick succession.
This was no longer a thunder tribulation—it was a river of lightning pouring down from the nine heavens.
Qin Hao stood his ground, letting the wild thunder continuously temper him.
“Something’s wrong! Do you see that? The Young Lord has already reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm! But the thunder hasn’t stopped!”
“Yeah, what’s happening? He’s already broken through. Why don’t the thunderbolts stop?”
Hearing their questions, Qin Hao smiled lightly:
“This is thanks to my pill! As long as I don’t hide my aura, the heavenly thunder will keep falling to strike me.”
With that, Qin Hao suppressed his aura.
Just as he said, the moment he hid it, the tribulation clouds slowly dispersed above.
Then, Qin Hao released his aura again, making Ah Long and Ah Hu stare wide-eyed—
The tribulation clouds began to gather once more, seeming ready to send down another strike.
Seeing this, Qin Hao burst into laughter:
“Hey, I’m hiding it now!”
The tribulation clouds scattered.
“And now, I’m releasing it again!”
The clouds started to reform.
“Hiding again!”
“Releasing again! Strike me, you idiot!”
“Boom—!!!”
This time, without even waiting for the clouds to fully form, a bolt of purple heavenly thunder slammed directly onto Qin Hao.
The force of that thunder was so terrifying that even Qin Hao’s body—covered in dragon scales—was blown apart.
Ah Long and Ah Hu exchanged glances and couldn’t help but smirk. They both said in unison—
You asked for it. Who told you to toy with the tribulation clouds?
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it.
