"Hmm?"

Demon King Dick stared suspiciously at the vast sea of thunder still churning in the sky. The feeling of dread in his heart hadn't diminished in the slightest.

Rumble!

Crack!

A cold, terrifying sword aura ripped through the sea of thunder. A red figure emerged, his entire body radiating sharp, formidable sword aura.

"Blood Rebirth?!"

Demon King Dick's eyes twitched. As a high-tier Demon King, how could he not see that Chu Ming must have used Blood Rebirth? Only Blood Rebirth could have allowed him to fully recover from his injuries in such a short time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Realizing the situation, Demon King Dick turned and fled desperately. Since Chu Ming had not fallen, he would undoubtedly keep pursuing him. If he didn't run, was he supposed to stand there and wait for the thunder tribulation to strike him?

The dense sea of thunder spanned thousands of miles. The entire North Sea could clearly see this vast, terrifying sea of thunder. Many powerful sea beasts were curious to observe what was happening, but as soon as they showed their heads, they were immediately frightened away by the terrifying power of destruction of the thunder tribulation!

In this way, the thunder tribulation lasted for a full two hours. Finally, Demon King Dick could not hold on any longer. Wrapped in tens of thousands of bolts of lightning, his entire body gradually melted into a pool of blood!

"Aaaaah!"

The brutality in Demon King Dick's eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only despair. To have endured for two hours within the thunder tribulation was already his limit.

Rumble!

Blood splattered, and Demon King Dick's body was directly shredded to pieces by the lightning. The vitality in his blood dissipated entirely, leaving no possibility of Blood Rebirth.

"Whew!"

In the thunder tribulation, Chu Ming's face was deathly pale, beads of sweat like rivulets streaming down his forehead. Although he used the thunder tribulation to kill Demon King Dick, he wasn't unharmed. The thunder tribulation above his head seemed endless. His body had been shattered countless times. If not for the existence of the Undying Tree within him, he might have died before Demon King Dick.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Waves of red light shattered the void, flying out from the space and merging into Chu Ming's body. At this moment, his body had already merged with 112 strands of Undying Origin. Now, he was starting to feel a sense of expansion.

"I'm almost at the limit."

For some reason, when Chu Ming felt that his body's ability to absorb Undying Origin was reaching its limit, a weight lifted off his heart.

The thunder tribulation in the sky continued to churn, as though a myriad of Thunder Serpents were coiling together. It had now completely turned red. Even the smallest bolt of lightning within it could probably annihilate a Life and Death Realm King.

115 strands!

120 strands!

130 strands!

140 strands!

When Chu Ming absorbed 140 strands of Life and Death Origin, almost all the energy flowing through his meridians was blood-red. The violent energy was nearly enough to burst his meridians and blood vessels.

"I've reached the limit!"

Chu Ming silently chanted to himself, but the thunder tribulation in the sky suddenly changed, like a roaring river of the Heavenly Dao, with wisps of purple light rolling out. The oppressive force within the thunder tribulation became even stronger, sweeping through the nine heavens and ten earths.

Rumble!

A terrifying Nine Heavens Divine Thunder erupted from the thunder tribulation, like a dreadful aurora, piercing through everything in its way. In almost an instant, it was right in front of Chu Ming.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

"Heaven-Burying Sword!"

Three extremely swift sword lights burst from the Azure Sky Sword in an instant. Layers of sword shadows immediately tore and engulfed the void.

Splash!

Under the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, the three powerful and terrifying sword lights were shattered almost instantly, and half of Chu Ming's body was vaporized into blood mist. However, his life aura grew even stronger.

This was all due to the Life and Death Origin, which inherently contained the potent Power of Life and Death.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Strong and vibrant heartbeats echoed from Chu Ming's body, like raindrops drumming on a surface.

"Next, condense the Life and Death Dharma Aspect!"

Having absorbed 140 strands of Life and Death Origin, Chu Ming was already quite content. Even the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction, two great powers of the current age, had only condensed a little over fifty strands of Life and Death Origin.

The Life and Death Dharma Aspect is somewhat like the soul of a Martial Artist. When a Life and Death Realm King summons it, it signifies a desperate fight.

Rumble!

Chu Ming's body moved slightly. The Life and Death Origin flowing into him converged above his Sea of Souls, merging into a red light ball the size of a fist. The red light ball continually contracted and expanded, beating like a heart.

Whoosh!

Chu Ming's spirit body emerged, a phantom green light swaying in the sky. If one looked closely, Chu Ming's face could even be seen in it.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The Life and Death Dharma Aspect, like an avatar of a Life and Death Realm King, needed control and manipulation by the King. To control and manipulate the Life and Death Dharma Aspect, one had to merge a strand of their own soul into it.

Rip!

The phantom Chu Ming's right hand turned into a soul blade, releasing a brilliant soul spark, and slashed directly at his left arm. At that moment, an inexplicable pain emerged from the depths of his mind.

Tearing one's soul is an extremely dangerous act. A single misstep could cause mental breakdown and unleash inner demons.

Whoosh!

The severed right arm turned into a green light ball and flew directly into Chu Ming's body, perfectly merging with the blood-red light ball formed by the Life and Death Origin.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

At the moment the two light balls merged, Chu Ming's aura seemed to break through some kind of shackle and began to soar wildly. A faint golden figure rose behind him, towering over ten thousand meters, distinct and imposing, like a deity standing tall. The terrifying pressure it emanated spread far and wide, covering a span of thousands of miles.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Chu Ming greedily absorbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, as if a whale swallowing water. The thunder tribulation in the sky began to slowly recede. At this point, Chu Ming's breakthrough into the Life and Death Realm was almost halfway complete.

"Is this the Life and Death Realm?"

Chu Ming felt his soul gradually ascending, an incredibly delightful sensation that made him almost moan with pleasure.

He gently extended his left hand, a faint silver light flowing over his palm. This was his Martial Will, which had broken through from Bronze Level to Silver Level due to his breakthrough into the Life and Death Realm.

Half an incense stick of time passed by slowly, and Chu Ming had nearly absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power within a radius of a thousand miles. At this moment, his aura was like a tempest, unyielding and dominating, surpassing all of eternity, the sole ruler of heaven and earth.
