Monarch of Time

Chapter 905 Windfall!



Chapter 905 Windfall!

Both Jiang Chen, as well as the spectating Xingyi in the distance, now looked at the white-colored lightning around Shun Long's hand with incredulous looks on their faces, their expressions very similar to Bai Longtian's, as the same question that he had just asked lingered on their minds.

Even though Xingyi herself wasn't participating in the spar, she could clearly sense even from a distance away the unique aura that Shun Long's lightning was emitting, which greatly resembled the aura of the heavenly tribulation's.

Of course, any Dao King who had already undergone their heavenly tribulation would be able to easily tell right now, that there was an extremely strong resemblance between the white lightning around Shun Long's hand and the heavenly tribulation itself!

Meanwhile, a faint smile slowly formed itself on Shun Long's lips as he lowered his gaze to examine the white-colored lightning crackling around his right hand, as the faint crackling of thunder started to grow even more pronounced with every passing second, almost as if the white lightning was gradually growing stronger alongside it!

A moment later, Shun Long finally turned his gaze towards Bai Longtian and the others before answering with a content smile

''I'm not sure if 'it' already has a name, but if I had to give it one... I would probably call it the 'Dao of Heavenly Tribulation'. I did have to sacrifice quite a bit to get it, but it really was worth it in the end.''

Bai Longtian and the others had already somewhat expected this answer, yet they still couldn't help but feel their minds buzz greatly the moment they took in Shun Long's words and realized the implications behind them! Although they had already guessed that Shun Long's white lightning was somehow connected to the heavenly tribulation he had faced earlier, hearing him actually confirm it was an entirely different matter altogether!

After all, how terrifying was the heavenly tribulation? How many dazzling Nascent Soul stage cultivators had fallen to it throughout the countless years, failing to truly breakthrough to the Dao King realm and becoming nothing more than ashes drifting throughout the endless river of time?

Yet not only had Shun Long not died after facing a second heavenly tribulation at the peak of rank 3 in the Dao King realm, he had even managed to gain some insights into it and could now use the power of the heavenly tribulation for himself!

Of course, Xingyi and the others didn't miss the last part of Shun Long's sentence, realizing that Shun Long must have paid quite a hefty price to acquire this 'Dao of the Heavenly Tribulation' of his. Nevertheless, it was obvious from the satisfied look on his face that the advantages must have outweighed the price he had paid by quite a bit.

Inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black gradually turned his gaze away from Liu Mei who was now fully immersed in her cultivation and no longer needed his assistance, and turned to look at the white-colored lightning around Shun Long's hand, before the black dragon muttered to himself

''In the end, it's true that fortune and disaster go hand in hand. Master was truly close to death this time, but since he managed to survive, the benefits he reaped from this will simply be inestimable!''

Although Xingyi and the others weren't aware of it, Little Black understood better than anyone what type of price Shun Long had to pay to obtain this 'Dao of the Heavenly Tribulation'. That final bolt of heavenly tribulation that looked like a golden roc had already dealt tremendous amount of damage in his spiritual space, and had long since evaporated all of the remaining spiritual strength inside his spiritual sea moments after it appeared. Cracks that looked like spiderwebs had already started to spread on the walls of his spiritual space, and even his soul had teetered on the verge of collapse!

In that final moment, seeing as how he didn't have any other option left, Shun Long ultimately grit his teeth and chose to burn all of the remaining blood essence that was dormant in his heart, as he drew out the full potential of his black dragon's bloodline.

Doing so had elevated both his qi, the power of his fleshly body, as well as the level of his soul to an astonishing degree, allowing him to survive the onslaught of the golden roc until it finally exhausted all of its power and disappeared!

What he had just used back then was a type of last resort technique that was essentially common knowledge among all bloodline cultivators, yet virtually no one would ever choose to use it, unless they were truly on their last legs and had absolutely nothing else to fall back on! By completely burning one's own blood essence, cultivators who possessed unique bloodlines could temporarily increase the power of their fleshly body, their qi, and even the strength of their soul to an astonishing degree, so much that it could even allow them to transcend through cultivation levels and battle stronger foes.

Of course, the increase that one would get was vastly dependent on the purity of their bloodline, as well as the rank of magic beast that it came from!

Nevertheless, even if one's bloodline came simply from a rare-rank magic beast, the increase in strength was nothing to scoff at! An average early-stage Dao King with the bloodline of a rare-rank magic beast who completely burned his blood essence, would pose a threat to even late-stage Dao Kings and would force them to act with caution around him!

As for people like Shun Long who possessed the bloodline of one of the most terrifying legendary magic beasts in the entire 'Immortal Dimension', it was simply impossible to estimate how much stronger he would get!

Still, despite its benefits, there was a reason why most bloodline cultivators would very rarely, if ever, choose to use this technique to boost their strength.

After all, this technique could only be used once, before a person completely exhausted the blood essence in their heart.

After using this technique, a cultivator's bloodline would immediately go dormant within their body, as if it suddenly entered hibernation, and it was unknown how long it would take to wake up again.

If one was lucky, it could only take a year, but if they were unlucky, it would be impossible to estimate if and when they could use the power of their bloodline again!

Still, although Shun Long felt it was a pity that he would temporarily have to sacrifice the power of his bloodline, since it was one of his strongest trump cards, he wasn't too worried about it in the end!

After all, he knew of a certain way to make sure that the bloodline within his body would wake up sooner rather than later. At the very least, he wasn't the slightest bit afraid that he wouldn't be able to use it again in the future!

Of course, back then, Shun Long had no other choice but to rely on the power of his bloodline to deal with the golden roc, so he didn't really have any other choice. That was how terrifying that final bolt of heavenly tribulation had been. His goal at that moment had simply been to stay alive! He had never expected that in the very end, he would suddenly end up getting insights into the lightning of the heavenly tribulation itself.

In the end, comprehending this 'Dao of the Heavenly Tribulation' was nothing short of an unexpected windfall!
