Chapter 822: Chapter 823: Stepping into the Eighth Rank Battle Saint

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone’s strength advanced significantly!

Dugu Zhan and Will were the first to step into the ranks of Grade Eight Battle Saints!

Yan Donglai even pushed through to the peak of Battle Saint, just one step away from the pinnacle of the True Pill Realm!

Boom!

At that moment, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from Zhao Qingtian’s body.

"What the hell, that’s the aura of the True Pill Realm!" Yan Donglai’s face lit up with excitement. "Senior Brother must have broken through to the True Pill Realm!"

Just then, a bolt of golden tribulation lightning descended from the sky, striking Zhao Qingtian violently.

"What the hell is this?"

"How can breaking through involve getting struck by lightning? Is there no justice in the heavens?!" Will and Dugu Zhan wore expressions of utter shock.

"This is the lightning tribulation!"

Yan Donglai said with a solemn expression, "Once the lightning tribulation is overcome, a Battle Saint-level martial artist can ascend to the ranks of a True Pill Realm cultivator! From then on, their lifespan increases by a full hundred years, and their power undergoes a complete transformation!"

Bang!

Another bolt of tribulation lightning struck Zhao Qingtian heavily.

Zhao Qingtian grunted, enduring the strike with difficulty, but his condition wasn’t too dire.

"Second Senior Brother, do you think Senior Brother can successfully push through the lightning tribulation?" Dugu Zhan and Will asked nervously.

"As the Grand Saint Heir of Kunlun, Senior Brother’s talent is peerless. He will be fine!" Yan Donglai nodded confidently.

Bang!

At that very moment, another bolt of tribulation lightning, resembling a serpent of lightning, struck Zhao Qingtian.

"Urgh!" Zhao Qingtian coughed up blood, his face as pale as a sheet.

"Hiss, this lightning tribulation is terrifying!"

"If this struck me, there wouldn’t even be a body left to bury!" Dugu Zhan and Will were struck with fear.

"There should only be one last bolt of lightning left! Once he overcomes it, Senior Brother will ascend to the True Pill Realm!" Yan Donglai murmured anxiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the final bolt of tribulation lightning came crashing down upon Zhao Qingtian.

"Ahhhhh!" Zhao Qingtian let out a pained cry as blood spurted from his mouth.

"Senior Brother withstood it!" Yan Donglai exclaimed, his excitement impossible to contain.

As the lightning tribulation dissipated, Zhao Qingtian’s energy surged continuously, and when he slowly opened his eyes, they gleamed bright with vitality, transforming his presence entirely!

"I’ve broken through!" Zhao Qingtian muttered to himself.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Truly a joyous occasion to see you ascend to the True Pill Realm and transform from martial artist to cultivator!" Yan Donglai offered his heartfelt congratulations.

"Second Brother, with your talent, you’ll catch up to me soon enough!" Zhao Qingtian laughed, as Yan Donglai had already reached the peak of Battle Saint and was only one step from breaking through.

"After witnessing the True Pill Realm’s tribulation earlier, I wouldn’t dare to attempt it now!" Yan Donglai shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Where’s the Young Master?" Zhao Qingtian asked.

"Right over there!" Yan Donglai pointed.

Ye Wudao was sitting cross-legged, completely enveloped in a golden mist, exuding an aura of profound mystery.

"He’s been in seclusion for so long. Hasn’t the Young Master broken through yet?" Zhao Qingtian asked.

"Not yet!" Yan Donglai shook his head.

Just then, the golden mist surrounding Ye Wudao suddenly dispersed, and his aura seemed to intensify rapidly!

"Something’s happening!" Dugu Zhan exclaimed.

An overwhelming force erupted from Ye Wudao as his cultivation rose rapidly!

Grade Six Battle Saint!

Grade Seven Battle Saint!

Grade Eight Battle Saint!

Ye Wudao advanced three levels in succession, firmly reaching the rank of Grade Eight Battle Saint!

Boom!

A terrifying aura burst forth from Ye Wudao, far surpassing every mid-True Pill Realm cultivator, rivaling even late-True Pill Realm masters!

"My god, the Young Master’s aura is terrifying!" Yan Donglai was stunned.

"Indeed! It feels even more overwhelming than my breakthrough to the True Pill Realm! If the Young Master ever ascends to the True Pill Realm, I can’t even begin to imagine how terrifying it would be!" Zhao Qingtian swallowed hard at the thought.

Ye Wudao slowly opened his eyes, a piercing light radiating from them.

"I’ve reached Grade Eight Battle Saint! That was faster than I expected." Ye Wudao revealed a satisfied smile.

Having destroyed the Eastern Clan, the spoils included a wealth of precious pills. Ye Wudao consumed numerous Grade Three pills and even utilized a Grade Four pill. Combined with cultivation inside the Nine-Turns Golden Lightning Pagoda, this allowed him to break through.

Raising his gaze, Ye Wudao noticed the changes in Zhao Qingtian and the others, and he smiled in congratulations. "Oh, Senior Brother has already broken through to the True Pill Realm! Congratulations! Second Brother has also reached the peak of Battle Saint! You’re just one step away from the True Pill Realm. Congratulations!"

"And Eldest Brother as well as Second Brother—you’ve both reached Grade Eight Battle Saint! Impressive, impressive!"

Hearing Ye Wudao’s praise, Zhao Qingtian and the others offered wry smiles, replying in self-deprecation, "Young Master, please stop teasing us! Even though I’ve broken through to the True Pill Realm, it feels like you’re becoming more and more unfathomable!"

"Indeed, Young Master, I feel you’ve become much, much stronger than before!" Yan Donglai said, his intuition spot on.

Ye Wudao simply smiled.

With his current cultivation at Grade Eight Battle Saint, he could easily contend with late-True Pill Realm cultivators!

Across the entire True Pill Realm, he was undoubtedly an elite!

If he encountered Master Skeletal again, there was no way he’d be so helpless as before!

Moreover, with Master Skeletal’s Wolf Corpse Puppet destroyed, Ye Wudao’s current strength was more than enough to make Master Skeletal regret ever entering this world.

Just then, an urgent voice rang out. It was the small tower, speaking: "Master, your brother Long Mie has an urgent message for you!"

"What, Long Mie?" Ye Wudao’s heart sank. He immediately turned to Zhao Qingtian and the others. "Everyone, Long Mie has reached out to me. This must be important—let’s move out immediately!"

"Understood!" Zhao Qingtian nodded.

Inside the cave residence.

As Ye Wudao and the rest arrived, Long Mie took a swig of wine before hurriedly saying, "Brother, you’re just in time. I have news about Master Skeletal!"

"What?!" Ye Wudao asked urgently, "Where is Master Skeletal?"

"I’ve been tracking Master Skeletal for over a month. After returning to the Heavenly Corpse Sect, he hadn’t made any appearances—until just ten minutes ago! He left the sect in a hurry, as if rushing to meet someone at a specific location," Long Mie explained.

"Let’s go, we’ll catch up to him!" Ye Wudao declared.
