1789: C1789 Ascending

C1789 Ascending

Naturally, the endless struggles between countries had nothing to do with Ann Sudong. As long as Ann Sudong didn't provoke him, it would be fine. Every day in his own territory, he would use the large amount of fourth-grade divine iron that the Xiao Clan's store had given him to slowly raise the quality of the Dragon Marking Sword.

Before he left for revenge, he needed to achieve two goals. The first was to reach the Dao Severing stage, and the second was to raise the quality of the Dragon Marking Sword to the fifth rank.

He had long since reached the pinnacle of the major powers, but to break through to the Dao Severing stage in a few months time wasn't something that could be accomplished so easily. This required time to accumulate, not only to control the realm of laws, but also to continuously accumulate spiritual energy twice over.

To step into the Dao Severing stage from the Supreme Realm was equivalent to crossing a deep chasm, requiring one to constantly accumulate one's strength and achieve the most perfect jump. If one forced a breakthrough, one would only be able to fall off a cliff and never recover.

While accumulating, Ann Sudong prepared some godly medicines for himself. If he didn't have enough, he could rely on a large amount of godly pills to replenish his energy, so that he wouldn't be drained of his vital energy during the breakthrough.

He had almost no time to cultivate his Tao of Pill. Basically, he would spend every day under the Reincarnation Tree, meditating and comprehending the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Time passed in a flash. Half a year had passed.

To a God, half a year was equivalent to the blink of an eye. However, for someone like Ann Sudong, who possessed the Reincarnation Tree, that was a hundred years of experience.

Ann Sudong was confident that he could step into the Dao Severing stage. At this moment, the Xiao family also sent over some good news. They had finally found the location of the five great sects.

The Southern Star was located in the domain of the Eternal Star, about 200 years away from the planet of He Zhen.

This was an extremely long distance. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken the Xiao family so long to find out where the five great sects were. They had used their own network of connections to search for information about them.

Luckily, Yi Chen had helped Ann Sudong modify the flying shuttle, so his speed was much faster than a normal merchant ship. Furthermore, he had added a star map into the shuttle, so there was no need to worry about getting lost in space.

Counting the time taken, it would take about two years.

Very good!

Ann Sudong started to break through to the Dao Seeking stage.

Just eight days later, he had already activated a domain that he had never entered before. A sharp blade slashed down on his dantian, and the heavenly tribulation also followed this force and came crashing down.

Ann Sudong once again began his painful journey. He refined his own body and used heavenly lightning to temper his Divine Bones, making them even harder and stronger.

Aside from the rewards for the Xiao family's business, Ann Sudong had also accumulated countless Xuan Crystals. Now, not only did he have to repay the money that he owed the Xiao family, he even had a huge amount of money left over. Now, all of it was changed into fourth-grade Divine Iron to help the Dragon Marking Sword improve its quality.

At this moment, after Ann Sudong let the Dragon Marking Sword devour the last piece of the Divine Metal, it finally reached a qualitative change and was advancing towards the fifth-grade.

He and the godly sword were both undergoing the refinement of heavenly lightning. Divine thunder rumbled as lightning interweaved. It was extremely terrifying. Ann Sudong had already been shattered into pieces. A crack also appeared on the Dragon Marking Sword, which continued to smack away at the debris.

That was a useless remnant of a sword, a piece of trash. This godly sword seemed to have its own intelligence, and actually took the initiative to follow its master, moving towards the strongest possible direction.

Lightning continuously weaved into nets, completely covering Ann Sudong and the Dragon Marking Sword. The dazzling light radiated through the universe.

Ann Sudong was undergoing a tribulation to temper his body and improve his comprehension of the Great Way of the Heavens and Earth.

The divine tribulation was the most dangerous form of killing, and if one was able to gain insights into such a great Dao, it would be incredibly beneficial for one's battle prowess.

Ann Sudong was going to walk his own path.

He had already mastered the initial stages of the Thunderbolt Sword Technique, but there were no signs of heavenly lightning during his usage. It was only because this sword technique had the characteristics of speed and strength, that was why Ann Sudong named it the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.

If the power of the heavenly thunder could also be merged by Ann Sudong, then this name would truly explain Ann Sudong's sword technique.

The speed and destructive power of the heavenly thunder was the most violent power in the world. If Ann Sudong could have both, his battle strength would be infinitely amplified.

Although Ann Sudong was now smashed into smithereens, the Spiritual Sense's soul was unshakable. Even without the existence of its shell, his soul could still survive the bombardment of the heavenly tribulation.

The strength of his soul had actually already reached the Dao Severing stage, so naturally, the power of heavenly tribulation would not be able to harm him.

Only the divine thunder of the heavenly tribulation could have such a violent power. Ann Sudong could only better comprehend the essence of the thunder by tempering it.0

"What a pity. The Heavenly Tribulation has only lasted for a short period of time." Ann Sudong thought of this, but then he suddenly thought of something: "There are only so many heavenly tribulations that I can undergo, then can I help people overcome the heavenly tribulation and borrow a Power of Thunder?"

"If I can comprehend Power of Thunder, then both my movement and sword skills will be greatly improved."

After half a day, the dark clouds dissipated and the Power of Thunder retreated. Ann Sudong activated his Diamond Body and the injuries on his body quickly recovered. At the same time, he could clearly feel the change in some divine artifacts.

Dao Severing.

His strength was a million times stronger than before!

As expected, there was a gap between the two great realms. After crossing it, Ann Sudong's strength was only at the sixth-grade.

"If I want to regain my tenth rank strength, I need to be able to reach the peak of the Dao Severing stage."

"However, only those who have cultivated to the fifth layer of the Dao Seeking Stage will be able to attain a sixth-grade strength after stepping into the Dao Severing Stage. And it definitely has to be a supreme expert of the fifth level of the major powers. "

"If it's an ordinary major power, they would at most possess strength surpassing the fourth grade. Only those who have cultivated to the fifth grade of the Dao Severing stage are capable of surpassing the fourth grade. Then, looking at the level of cultivation of the fifth grade Dao Severing stage, their strength will only vary from the fourth grade to the sixth grade."

"My current strength is enough to contend against a middle Dao Seeking expert, but this is only strength. To the laws of the world, I am still a rookie Dao Seeking expert. Therefore, even with a few secret techniques added on, my battle prowess would only be six or seven levels higher. "

"Rumor has it that fifth-grade geniuses only exist in legends. Although what they say is too absolute, in reality, they have their own reasons for not being able to cultivate the fifth level because there are simply too few people."
