A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face as he glanced at the void trembling around her physique, and cracks slowly spread around. Slowly a large purple cocoon condensed around her body.
Shen Yi raised his hand, and the void cracks halted and then closed. He also suppressed the commotion in the mountain range without letting it go out. Still, he didn't know an existence sleeping for thousands of years was awakened.
Deep beneath the earth, in the abyss-like darkness,
Two pairs of large golden pupils opened, flickering with purple dou qi, revealing a majestic dragon face.
"Such a familiar feeling… It's definitely my child. Tou She Dou Di, you have trapped me for ten thousand years. I can't even reunite with my child, despite knowing my child is nearby. Once I leave this place, I will definitely destroy this mansion."
A majestic voice filled with anger spread around, along with a purple dou qi layer, illuminating the whole void, revealing a humongous purple golden dragon guarding a large mysterious and ancient mansion.
Strangely, his purple-gold dou qi, which could even affect Dou Saints, couldn't do anything to the mansion. As the dou qi scattered around, it disappeared inexplicably by colliding with the invisible domain around the mansion.
The huge pupils closed once again, and darkness covered everything.
Back to the mountain range,
Shen Yi glanced at the purple cocoon in front of him; its surface was flickering with an intense purple red dou qi layer.
After a few hours,
The void around it shook, and the cocoon cracked open, revealing a beautiful and moving figure wearing a purple robe.
Her appearance became more mature as a faint purple glow lingered over her body, causing her to appear to possess a magical charm. Long, smooth, purple-colored hair scattered down and landed on her waist.
'As expected of the dragon race, although she has reached the early tier seven, dou ancestor level, her physique is rivaling a proper dou venerate expert.'
Shen Yi thought to himself, looking at her more mature figure while sensing the hidden power in her body.
"Ahem… Brother Shen Yi, what are you looking at?"
Immediately Zi Yan coughed and asked him with a little low voice, throwing a wink at him.
Shen Yi raised his brow and glanced at her averted winking eyes and red cheeks; she was looking away as if shying away from his gaze after teasing him.
Immediately he became speechless and then shook his head calmly and asked,
"I have sensed your strength has increased a lot. How do you feel? Has your bloodline evolved to the eighth tier?"
Zi Yan sighed in relief, then a cheerful smile materialized on her face as she jumped and appeared beside him.
"Yes, I have broken through the Tier Seven level, equal to the Dou ancestor realm, and also my bloodline has been unsealed by another rank reaching Tier Eight."
She immediately nodded and spoke, then she closed her eyes, and three purple-red blood drops emerged from the middle of her brows and flew toward Shen Yi.
"Brother, here, take these blood essence drops as I promised."
She spoke with a little pale expression and didn't care about weakness spreading through her heart.
Shen Yi was startled looking at three drops in front of him and reminded her, while looking at her with a deep gaze, "You should have stabilized your strength before separating your blood essence."
Zi Yan shook her head and replied, "Don't worry, I will recover in no time."
Shen Yi nodded and then put away the blood essence and sealed it inside the vial, and then he reminded,
"Go take some rest and stabilize your strength."
Zi Yan nodded, and then the void around her shook, and her figure disappeared in a flash, leaving behind Shen Yi staring at the void.
"Very well, the tier eight item is in my hand, and it's the top one. Now I can exchange the eighth-rank treasure and finally upgrade my primordial art and also break through the Dou Venerate realm at the same time."
Shen Yi muttered thoughtfully, and then he opened the unlimited exchange panel.
"I want three suitable top eighth-rank hybrid lightning treasures that will grant me new attributes that I don't have and at the same time provide me enough energy to ascend another major realm."
Immediately a list of only three suitable treasures appeared in front of his eyes.
[Void Lightning Crystal]
(Condensed marrow of lightning born in the void between realms.
Grants Space–Lightning Hybrid Attribute.
Dou qi will gain spatial tearing power; lightning strikes bypass defenses by rending space.)
(Origin: Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation)
…
[Starfall Thunder Stone]
(A debris of a collapsed heavenly star containing star thunder.
Grants Stellar–Lightning Hybrid Attribute.
Vast, explosive, long-range destructive lightning like falling meteors.)
(Origin: Steller Transformation)
…
[Soul Thunder Jade]
(A soul-nurturing jade containing lightning born from the roar of a fallen master.
Grants Soul Lightning hybrid attribute, allowing mental lightning, illusion shattering, and soul attacks.
Lightning can pierce directly into enemy soul seas.
(Origin: Desolate Era)
…
"Amazing, I thought these basic elements were the only attributes I could gain; I didn't expect the void, star, and soul to appear in front of me… The most surprising one is the third one; even Hun Tian of the Soul Clan will cry in front of it."
Shen Yi muttered in surprise, looking at the list, then a hearty smile appeared on his face, and he added, "All of the preparation wasn't in vain."
He hurriedly chose to exchange the treasures; immediately the three drops of Tier Eight bloodline disappeared from his possession, and three different types of boxes appeared in front of him instead.
"First I will absorb the soul thunder jade, as it is based on soul, and then I will absorb the starfall stone and the void lightning crystal at once."
Shen Yi muttered, planning to absorb the treasure in sequence, not at once, in order to avoid the trouble of chaos, then he thought of something and glanced around, looking at the surrounding mountain scenery.
'Is this place safe for such a major breakthrough? Anyway, there is no heavenly tribulation in dou qi practice before the saint realm. Even major realms of those you venerate can be broken through silently without causing chaos and disturbance.'
He thought to himself and then stored away the remaining two treasures in the world ring, leaving behind the soul thunder jade box.
