Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1144 - 408: Heavenly King Fifth Layer, When in Rome

Feeling the Dao Power within his body soaring step by step, Zhang Jing Qiu was shaken at heart.

Countless Dao mysteries manifested before him, and his Dao Power surged, forcibly placing him in the Third Layer Heaven of the Heavenly King, yet this was only the beginning.

At the same time, a transformation appeared in the nascent form of his Inner Universe, ultimately infinitely close to a complete Inner Universe, bearing his vast Dao Power.

The overwhelming Dao Power cascaded down from immeasurable heights, like a volcano oppressed for years, daring to erupt endlessly as long as Zhang Jing Qiu could withstand it!

With Zhang Jing Qiu's Heavenly King Dao Foundation that dared to claim "unprecedented" in his native realm, even at this moment, he soon experienced a feeling of indulgent satisfaction from drinking sweet nectar.

His Heavenly King's Dao, at this moment, gradually moved from illusion towards reality, myriad scriptures in the starry sky turning pages, transforming All Phenomena, not speaking to the world, but indulging Zhang Jing Qiu alone.

Zhang Jing Qiu's Dao Wonders self-manifested, expanding, accommodating myriad scriptures, even replicating this starry sky.

In his view, everything in the starry sky remained unchanged, yet seemed newly transformed under the blessing of the Killing Tribulation, allowing him to stand at new heights!

Fourth Layer Heaven… 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Fifth Layer Heaven…

Beside him, Heart Demon Luo Ying watched in horror.

She witnessed Zhang Jing Qiu, within a short time, break through the Heavenly Limit, cross multiple Heavenly Passes, and leap to the threshold of the Fifth Layer Heaven, merely half a step from the peak!

Now she suspected this Demon Lord was a reincarnation of a True Saint with remaining Dao Fruit, hence his peculiar Breakthrough.

"To actually ascend directly to the Heavenly King Peak, unfortunately..."

Experiencing the boundless, profound Dao Power like an ocean at present, Zhang Jing Qiu regretfully remarked,

"The blessing of the Killing Tribulation is temporary; truly soaring into the Fifth Layer Heaven, I could start plotting against the Heavenly Venerable..."

Lady La immediately took a senior stance, instructing him:

"On the pursuit of Dao, it's better to take it slow, not in haste, especially not seeking external forces for breakthroughs! Your current blessing from the Killing Tribulation, though temporary, allows you an early comprehension of this realm, providing significant aid for your future Breakthrough."

Zhang Jing Qiu was well aware.

The blessing of Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation ultimately is a temporary Harmonization.

Though the Death Demon of the past stepped into the Transcendence Domain with this, once it passed, they should still fall.

"Moreover, you bear only a portion of the Killing Tribulation, you should sense other individuals in similar circumstances, right?"

Zhang Jing Qiu frowned; indeed, he sensed three obscure presences in Life Destruction, far apart, seeming alerted to him as well.

"The Killing Tribulation is destined for Unity; its division might be Chao Ge's means, hence you must find the other individuals to strip the Killing Tribulation's favor from them."

"Of course, even if you don't seek them, they'll come to you; Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation will force you into a life-and-death showdown, like raising Gu."

"Once the Killing Tribulation unifies, with the myriad heavens' Silent Annihilation, it's time for you to slay Chao Ge."

"Chao Ge..." Zhang Jing Qiu murmured, "Even if the Killing Tribulation unifies and forcibly elevates me to Heavenly Venerable, I couldn't slay Chao Ge; even if Chao Ge willingly awaits death, I might not break his defense!"

The one already stood in the realm of Transcendence, ordinary True Saints barely could harm him.

Those who might slightly contest Chao Ge in power are the ultra-standard beings across various families, supreme beings in the True Saint Domain.

Having temporarily borne a quarter of the Killing Tribulation, standing at Fifth Layer Heaven as a Heavenly King, the subsequent reunion of three parts of the Killing Tribulation might only allow him to break through the Eighth Realm Barrier, reach Heavenly Venerable, or touch upon the Dao Ancestor?

The gap between the two was excessively vast.

His realm was too low, and this realm too broken, even the overall strength and Position of Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation fell immensely.

"I don't quite think so," Wuzhou suddenly spoke, "First find the other tribulation-bearers, touch upon the Peak of Heavenly King before speaking, you've yet to reach the pinnacle of the Heavenly King Domain."

"I haven't reached the peak of the Heavenly King Domain yet?" Zhang Jing Qiu felt the unprecedented Dao Power surging within, sensing he could extinguish a galaxy with a single step, and queried in confusion.

Is the peak of the Heavenly King Domain truly this strong?

"It's your peak," Wuzhou said flatly, "Do you think you've reached the upper limit of your Heavenly King Dao Foundation? Dao Foundation is crucial as it determines your upper limit, but many never touch the upper limit in life, you merely stood at Fifth Layer Heaven yet feel you've reached the upper limit?"

Zhang Jing Qiu's expression was solemn; these words held truth.

The pinnacle of the Heavenly King Domain may not be strong.

But his upper limit decidedly surpassed peers at the same level.

Zhang Jing Qiu looked in a certain direction.

That was where he sensed another closest tribulation-bearer among the three.

Cultivation knows no time; let alone the chaotic time-space of this starry sky, reversing the Time River this time, cultivating One Qi to Three Pure Ones, who knows how long has passed.

Lady La reminded Zhang Jing Qiu:

"Now you stand in Fifth Layer Heaven, if not at the same level as others, you've at least closed much of the Daoist career gap and age gap... Given the high expectations on you, if you still lose, it's better to abandon the Killing Tribulation's favor and return home to retire."

Zhang Jing Qiu nodded, agreeing with these words.

With the Killing Tribulation's favor, he bridged the Daoist career gaps with others; if unable to sweep aside, it would prove

"Time to emerge, curious about the level the Heavenly Monarchs of various families stand on."

Heart Demon Luo Ying, hearing the Demon Lord's whispers beside her, felt unsure whether to fear or rejoice at heart.
