Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1156 - 412: Destined Heavenly Monarch, Strengthened by the Second Killing Tribulation

This bizarre scene startled even Kong Xiao, as the Peacock Divine Form spread its wings behind him, the Five-Colored Divine Light soared into the sky, illuminating the heavens.

"Open for me!"

He uttered softly, his black hair draped down, resembling a God. The Five-Colored Divine Light pierced through the heavens and earth, enhancing the Sword Light, with Sword Qi like a boundless sea, engulfing the starry sky.

Yet no matter how Kong Xiao directed it, that speck of White Intent acted like a Sea Eye, accommodating everything, accepting all, and swallowing all the Heavenly Sword Light in its entirety.

No increase or decrease, flawless as one. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The Void surrounding the White Intent completely twisted, pulling everything nearby into it, the range expanding, making all the Heavenly Kings feel as if they were being drawn into the center of that White Intent from a distance.

It was unimaginable, what kind of terrifying devouring force lay around that speck of White Intent.

Kong Xiao's usually picturesque and handsome face appeared extremely grim.

Until the vast Boundary Sea was swallowed, that speck of White Intent slowly drifted back in front of Ji Jingqiu, carrying a sense of endless weight.

Its mere existence pushed the surrounding Void to the brink of breaking, revealing the final supports of the realm — Time and Fate.

To everyone's surprise, Kong Xiao's Half-step Hongmeng Opening Heaven Divine Power not only failed but didn't even harm a single hair on Ji Jingqiu.

Facing this scene, Ji Jingqiu mused silently, showing no sign of joy.

He felt a rare difficulty, for even Kong Xiao's Heaven Opening Divine Power could not assist him in "Heaven Opening" for this singularity, and it seemed he was far from achieving it...

In the future, if he wanted to "Open Heaven" and break through the Eighth Realm Barrier, the difficulty would likely be unimaginable.

Indeed, after studying for a while with a serious expression, Kong Xiao spoke in a deep voice:

"My Great Five-Colored Chaos Heavenly Sword has reached the Quasi-Hongmeng Realm, but even for your singularity, a complete Hongmeng Opening Heaven Divine Power might not achieve Heaven and Earth Creation!"

He initially wanted to mock Ji Jingqiu, but he quickly realized it was a testament to the extraordinary strength and solidity of the other's Dao Foundation.

Ji Jingqiu sighed lightly; having too deep a Daoist career and too solid a Dao Foundation could indeed be problematic, bringing many troubles.

Having battled to this moment, he had a clear understanding of his own strength and fully mastered the temporary Dao Power and realm boost he had received.

The next step was due.

He casually grasped the blood suspended in the starry sky.

"It seems you can't stop me." Ji Jingqiu stated plainly.

The truth strikes directly; just this one sentence turned Kong Xiao's face dark, yet he had to admit it was indeed a fact.

Regardless of whether he accepted it, Ji Jingqiu had already firmly stood at the Heavenly Monarch level, having withstood his Half-step Hongmeng Divine Power, possessing the means to contend with him.

What made him subtly uneasy was the prospect of Ji Jingqiu merging a second Tribulation Embryo...

Would his strength continue to rise?

"Did you previously say external power should not be relied upon? You were wrong; you are only facing the future me."

Ji Jingqiu spoke. He no longer suppressed the Tribulation Embryo in his hand, gently crushing the blood, allowing the endless murderous intent contained within it to surge into his body.

"You currently stand at the Peak of Heavenly King, so I won't bully you, I will face you with the same realm."

Then, he muttered to himself: "I wonder if the second Killing Tribulation boost will allow me to temporarily reach the Peak of Heavenly King."

Kong Xiao's complexion abruptly changed upon understanding the underlying meaning of these words.

As the various kings rushed over to witness this astonishing battle, among them were also experts from the Netherworld, leading to the exposure of Ji Jingqiu's identity.

"Ji Jingqiu from the Netherworld? I've heard that name somewhere, isn't the Heavenly Monarch of the Nether Sea named Dongxu? And isn't the Heavenly Crown considered a half?"

"Ji Jingqiu, Ji Jingqiu... Is it that Ji Jingqiu from the Netherworld? Wasn't he just a newcomer to the Heavenly King?"

As Ji Jingqiu's identity was gradually uncovered, the kings became all the more astonished, their gazes at the not-far-away Tribulation Embryo intent burning ever hotter.

A young man who not long ago had just entered the Heavenly King realm, could elevate himself to the level of a Heavenly Monarch purely with the Killing Tribulation boost?!

"It's not that simple. If it were, how did Qing Xuan die? She was initially a powerhouse at the Fifth Layer Heaven before receiving the Killing Tribulation boost, directly reaching the threshold of a Heavenly Monarch, with great luck shielding her, ordinary Heavenly Monarchs could defeat her, but couldn't kill her..."

"Ji Jingqiu could kill Qing Xuan because, sharing the same Killing Tribulation, many of the boosts from the Tribulation Embryo were ineffective against him."

"For Qing Xuan, the preciousness of the Killing Tribulation lies in the advancement beyond limits. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be considered a top Heavenly King, let alone a Heavenly Monarch, but for Ji Jingqiu, who just entered the Heavenly King realm, the boost from the mighty Heavenly Tribulation was most likely just a direct elevation in realm..."

"Meaning?"

Someone astutely captured the deeper significance of what was said halfway.

A strong voice from the Mayfly Palace solemnly stated: "The literal meaning is that Ji Jingqiu's realm is too low for the Killing Tribulation boost to carry him beyond limits. It's merely an elevation of cultivation!"

"In other words, the Ji Jingqiu you are seeing now is the very Ji Jingqiu who will stably break into the Fifth Layer Heaven in the future!"

"Even without the Killing Tribulation boost, he is destined to become a Heavenly Monarch!"

Silence enveloped the kings.

Those destined to become Heavenly Monarchs were invariably the ones who broke conventions, repeatedly challenging, breaking their limits, and pushing their Daoist careers forward from the Absolute Peak of Heavenly King.

While Ji Jingqiu's Heavenly King foundation determined his "destined Heavenly Monarch".

Following a step-by-step approach would securely lead him into this unparalleled realm, overlooking all Heavenly Kings in the future!

"What kind of terrifying Daoist career is this?"

Someone murmured, voicing the collective thoughts of the kings.

"The Ancestor of the Dao truly lives up to the name."

"The Ancestor of the Dao, what Ancestor of the Dao? Wasn't he just a Heavenly King?"
