Chapter 354 The Demon Emperor Breaks Through a Million Years

After the thirty-six bolts of heavenly lightning struck, the tribulation underwent another change. In addition to the increased speed of the strikes, the number of bolts striking each time also began to increase. The number of strikes was random, but the maximum number did not exceed five.

Upon witnessing the unusual change in the heavenly lightning, the Demon Emperor immediately activated the Deep Sea Demon Whale's innate skill, Devour, using his own talent to absorb the heavenly lightning and replenish the damage he had suffered while facing the tribulation.

Soon they arrived at the forty-ninth bolt of lightning. This bolt was the most powerful of all the tribulations they had faced, and therefore took the longest to charge up.

Soon, the forty-ninth bolt of heavenly lightning descended. The Demon Emperor became serious at this moment. He first used Devour to absorb a portion of the heavenly lightning, and then activated the Demon Whale Domain and Energy Armor to weaken the last bolt of heavenly lightning. However, even so, the last bolt of heavenly lightning still shattered the Demon Emperor, causing his flesh and blood to splatter everywhere. In some severely injured places, bones could be seen.

The Demon Emperor finally survived the tribulation, and the sky showered down blessings to help him heal his injuries and heal his hidden wounds. While repairing his injuries, the Demon Emperor collected the shed skin, as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King Samael had told him that the shed skin could be used to forge divine artifacts. As for the resentment removed from his bloodline, Miguel condensed it into beads for Daglas's daily cultivation.

After recovering somewhat from his injuries, the Demon Emperor sat cross-legged on the ground and began to restore his condition, bringing himself to his peak. Once in peak condition, the Demon Emperor began to transform his soul power, condensing it into what is known as divine power on the Douluo Continent.

Time passed slowly, and the Demon Emperor's soul power had been completely transformed into divine power. Later, perhaps feeling that his accumulated soul power was insufficient, the Demon Emperor used his innate soul skill to devour and absorb a large amount of energy from heaven and earth.

After absorbing the energy for nearly half an hour, the Demon Emperor began to condense his divine ring. Perhaps because the Deep Sea Demon Whale King Samael had given him instructions on how to condense a divine ring, the Demon Emperor's condensation of his divine ring went relatively smoothly, and he successfully condensed his first dark golden divine ring in a short time.

Like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King Samael, the Demon Emperor channeled all the remaining divine power from his breakthrough into his first nine spirit rings. In an instant, the Demon Emperor's spirit rings turned red. However, the first four spirit rings were only at the 100,000-year level, while the latter five were all over 200,000 years old. By comparing the age of the spirit rings, it's clear that the Demon Emperor's accumulated spirit power was indeed inferior to that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King Samael, but upon closer examination, this is quite normal.

"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, Demon Emperor." Miguel stood up from the rocking chair and offered his congratulations.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness," the Demon Emperor replied.

The Demon Emperor was overjoyed at her successful breakthrough, so she didn't care much about Mig's actions of collecting her blood and flesh that had been struck by lightning during her tribulation. However, she still asked, "I wonder why Your Highness collected my flesh and blood?"

"It's better if you don't know this," Miguel said guiltily.

Seeing that Miguel was unwilling to reveal anything, the Demon Emperor did not press further. Miguel breathed a sigh of relief when the Demon Emperor did not ask any further questions. After all, the materials he had collected were top-quality ingredients, and there was practically only one such source in the Douluo Continent. If he wanted to eat them again, he would have to wait until the next soul beast broke through to the god level before he could collect them again.

Moreover, if one eats food made from these ingredients, it will definitely be very beneficial to one's cultivation, so it doesn't matter if one throws away some dough to collect.

“Let’s go to the central temple. You can get excellent cultivation methods there,” Miguel said.

"Let's go, Your Highness, please lead the way," the Demon Emperor said, his tone still gentle.
