"Die!"

The Celestial Spirit Divine Sword flickered and vanished in an instant, and from mid-air came Su Yu’s explosive shout:

"Time passes by!"

Wuyuan, who was activating the Buddha Country to encircle the small island, suddenly felt a chilling sensation. He turned around abruptly to see an invisible sword light sweep across him. The thick Buddha light on his body dimmed, his strength ebbed away, and his appearance instantly became extremely aged.

The Time Sword—Time passes by, erasing 350 years of his lifespan with one stroke!

"No!"

He stretched out his wrinkled hand; at this moment, his remaining lifespan was less than thirty years.

At this moment, the monk who was manipulating the Buddha Country in his palm immediately dispelled the Great Divine Techniques, grabbed Wuyuan and swept him into his sleeve, turning into a golden light that shot skyward.

"I will remember you."

Wuyuan held onto the edge of the big sleeve, staring at Su Yu intently, as if trying to remember his appearance.

Seeing this, Su Yu decisively swung his sword down again:

"Time Divine Technique—Manipulate Time!"

The sword light flickered and vanished.

After executing this sword strike, the monk had vanished.

Su Yu didn’t pursue them, as he had to wait for Ao Run to undergo the tribulation.

In just that short moment, she had endured to the final wave. A blaze of fire descended from the center of the tribulation eye, shaking the heavens and earth.

Ao Run opened her mouth and spat out a Dragon Pearl that soared into the sky. The moment it touched the flames, it exploded, sending blazes of fire covering the entire small island.

The Dragon Pearl shattered and fell, successfully blocking the final tribulation thunder.

As the last tribulation thunder was blocked, the blazing fire clouds swiftly dissipated, revealing the central tribulation eye. A white light descended from the eye, hitting the charred form of Ao Run, quickly transforming into a cocoon of light that began to grow.

"Success!"

With no disturbances, given her strength and preparation, passing the lowest tier of the heavenly tribulation was not an issue.

At this moment, she was undergoing transformation, absorbing the celestial power.

Compared to the lengthy time needed for bloodline purification before, this transformation was much faster. Within just a few minutes, the cocoon of light expanded to a diameter of several kilometers, and the emanating aura was rapidly growing.

Su Yu flew to the cocoon of light, where a gentle light curtain appeared in front of him.

True Dragon Ao Run (Legendary): Demon King, Level 201, Aquatic Race, True Dragon.

Attributes: Qi and Blood 60 million, Demonic Power 2 million, Attack Power 600,000, Speed 8,000 kilometers/hour, Demon Skill: Cyan Nether Divine Breath Skill (Golden Core Skill/Mysterious), all water skills, all thunder skills, Dragon Breath (Meridian Cold Tide), Gui Water Divine Thunder, Gui Water Divine Thunder Net, Meridian Cold Tide Ban (Exquisite), Mysterious Nether One Qi Formless Kun Thunder Net (Sect-Governing).

Swallowing clouds and mist, calling wind and rain, thunder and lightning, conjuring clouds and summoning rain, overturning rivers and seas, Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture, eighth layer (Great Divine Techniques).

Realm Suppression (Earth Immortal), True Dragon Bloodline (Earth Immortal)

Treasure: Dragon Pearl (Ninth grade), Blood Refining Cauldron (Eighth grade)

Items: Great Wilderness Dragon Chapter (Chi), Great Wilderness Dragon Chapter (Xuanming), Great Wilderness Dragon Chapter (Water), Great Wilderness Dragon Chapter (Dragon)

After passing the heavenly tribulation, her attributes greatly increased, and the power of all Dao laws and divine techniques also significantly enhanced.

Before, the Meridian Cold Tide Ban’s power was only about 300,000, now it soared to 600,000, covering a range of dozens of kilometers.

The Dragon Breath with the Meridian Cold Tide used to cover two to three kilometers with one breath, now it has doubled, covering seven to eight kilometers with one breath.

Successfully passing the heavenly tribulation granted her Realm Suppression (Earth Immortal), reducing damage from the Qi Refinement stage by 75% and granting extremely high resistance. Coupled with Earth Immortal level True Dragon Bloodline’s 50% damage reduction, and her inherently strong physique, she no longer feared swarm tactics.

In addition, after passing the tribulation, she obtained two additional Great Wilderness Dragon Chapters, one representing Ao Run’s water attribute origin, and the other representing her bloodline origin—Dragon.

The "Dragon" represents bloodline potential, offering a chance to achieve the status of an ancient dragon.

It is noteworthy that Ao Run invested all her celestial tribulation rewards into the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture, instantly elevating it by one major level to the eighth layer, leaving her just one layer short of the scripture’s perfect ninth layer.

No doubt, for demon beasts achieving Dao, the tribulation rewards are entirely used to enhance one’s bloodline.

The seventh layer of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture is a legendary template, the eighth layer is also a legendary template, and the ninth layer is a mythical template.

With the Great Wilderness Dragon Chapter (Dragon), it means her template can advance to the mythical stage in the future, with opportunities to further explore her bloodline power, eventually ascending to an immortal template as an ancient dragon.

As for the Great Wilderness Dragon Chapter (Water), it represents her attribute origin, signifying that when her power reaches a certain level, she has the potential to comprehend the Water Dao Law.

"Not bad!"

Once an elite template blue flood dragon, through his meticulous cultivation, she has now transformed into a True Dragon with boundless potential. In some sense, this was also considered his Dao companion.

A fellow pursuer along the path, a supporter.

At this moment, Su Yu was in high spirits, subconsciously wanting to stroke his beard.

A stick of incense later, the highly expanded cocoon of light suddenly cracked open.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a thunderous dragon roar, the cocoon burst apart, shattering into countless blue lights. A True Dragon, its entire body a glistening azure like jade, with dragon scales resembling exquisite emeralds, flew out of the cocoon, circled in the sky, and descended before Su Yu.

This True Dragon was about nine kilometers long, its whole body an azure jade, incredibly beautiful.

A pair of crystalline jade dragon horns adorned its head, with four blue dragon whiskers swaying gracefully with its movements. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Four claws, five toes, dragon horns, dragon whiskers, dragon scales—indeed a True Dragon!

One man and one dragon gazed at each other, the dragon’s eyes a deep azure like dazzling treasure pearls, the edges lustrous like jade. Su Yu recalled the last time he and Ao Run locked eyes like this—back then, her wild nature was untamed, and she dared to challenge him, only to be soundly defeated by him.

Yet this time, as they gazed at each other again, her eyes carried no trace of wildness but were full of spirit, noble and dignified, a true upper-class dragon species.

Su Yu reached out to gently stroke the dragon scales, the coolness penetrating his heart.

The True Dragon suddenly lowered its head, prompting a thought in Su Yu’s mind. He leaped up and stood between its dragon horns. The True Dragon raised its head, let out a long chant, and soared into the sky, flying toward the sea.

"Bang!"

The Jade Dragon plunged into the sea, with the seawater parting on either side of the True Dragon, while he stood between the dragon’s horns, keeping the sea several meters away with an invisible force.

The True Dragon swam freely in the ocean, gracefully swinging its body, occasionally breaching the surface to soar tens of thousands of meters into the sky, flying high and diving deep, enjoying the exhilaration.

After a joyous swim, the True Dragon stopped. Su Yu’s heart stirred as he flew from between the dragon’s horns. Turning back, he saw the jade dragon’s blue light radiate magnificently, quickly shrinking until a stunning beauty draped in azure gauze and fitted with close-knit jade scales emerged, bowing gracefully before Su Yu and speaking crisply:

"Ao Run pays respects to the master!"

Su Yu’s eyes flashed with admiration as he smiled and nodded:

"Very well. Years of diligent cultivation have finally freed you from your shackles. From now on, you can pursue the great Dao unhindered."

"Ao Run owes today’s success to the master’s nurturing. From now on, I ask the master to continue caring for me."

Su Yu stepped forward to help her up, laughing:

"Henceforth, there’s no need to call me master. You may call me lord, like the Vast Sea."

"Ao Run pays respects to the lord."

"Good!"

Su Yu laughed heartily and immediately opened the Sea Suppressing Realm Gate, pulling her back inside the Sea Suppressing Realm.

Within the realm, the women knew of her successful tribulation and were overjoyed.

In the Sea Suppressing Realm, they were all united; having one more formidable Dao companion meant added strength, and they genuinely congratulated, bringing various spirit fruits and delicacies to celebrate her success.

Two hours later, in the Heavenly Shuttle, Su Yu and Ao Run sat across from each other.

"You mentioned knowing of an ancient teleportation gate in a certain part of the Yuanjiang River on Blue Mountain Island that could transport to other island territories?"

Ao Run nodded, speaking crisply:

"Not to other islands, but to a domain."

"What do you mean?"

Ao Run’s eyes, like starry gems, flashed with a hint of confusion, she said:

"This comes from hidden memories in my Primordial Spirit, only realized after achieving the status of Earth Immortal through tribulation. My place of origin isn’t here but in the distant Cyan Sea domain, where I descend from the Dragon Palace in the Cyan Sea domain. When I was young, the Dragon Palace was destroyed by a calamity, and my mother and I escaped via the teleportation array within the Dragon Palace, arriving at Blue Mountain Island."

"Only if I successfully transform into a dragon and overcome the second Celestial Tribulation can I recover my memories and find the way home."

"Oh!"

This news was quite shocking to Su Yu, but not entirely surprising, as he had long felt Ao Run’s origins were extraordinary.

It makes no sense for a mere elite template dragon to cultivate Dao techniques or possess a ninth-level Dragon Pearl and master the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture, a Great Divine Technique of the Dragon Race. Such techniques are unlikely for a wild dragon and are only cultivated by spirit beasts with profound roots.

Previously, he always thought she was a wild dragon raised by a great figure on Blue Mountain Island, never imagining her actual origins lay far away from Blue Mountain. Nor did he foresee her distant birthplace.

"By the way, you haven’t mentioned where the Cyan Sea domain is—Is it a domain like the Blue Mountain Archipelago?"

"Sort of, but it is much larger than the Blue Mountain Archipelago."

"How much bigger? A hundred times?"

"More than that."

"A thousand times?"

"Ten thousand times and more!"

"That large?"

Ao Run collected herself and began to explain to him:

"In this world, there are four great continents, vast and immeasurable; even an Immortal would find crossing a continent in ten thousand years nearly impossible."

"Beyond the continents are five major oceans, within which lie many expansive lands, much smaller than continents, called domains."

"Outside the domains exists a myriad of scattered islands, countless in number, of which the Blue Mountain Archipelago is one."

Su Yu.....

"Is it that vast?"

"This world, then, is the Other Shore Realm."

For some reason, upon hearing the four continent names, Su Yu suddenly recalled the mythical Earthly Immortal world of previous life’s legends, which also had four continents. He couldn’t help but ask:

"Are the four continents you mentioned called East Victory Divine Continent, South Dashanbu Continent, West Ox Continent, and North Julu Continent?"

Ao Run asked curiously:

"How do you know?"

Su Yu suddenly felt like lightning struck his mind, freezing him on the spot with a look of incredibility.

"Crap, is the Other Shore Realm truly the legendary Earthly Immortal world?"

"Then... do those legendary celestial deities and Buddhas actually exist?"

Su Yu’s thoughts expanded rapidly, instantly recalling those famous deities from mythology of his previous life, and within a second, confirmed those mythical celestial entities must exist.

Because many deities can be traced.

For instance, the Great Sun Buddha’s Divine Transformation, a profound Buddhist technique, is attributed to the Great Sun Buddha.

The Jade Pure Purple Palace Immortal Art.

The Taiqing Profound Sect’s Invisible True Qi.

Odds are, Taiqing and Jade Pure are related to the three pure ones in mythology.
