Chapter 58: Granting You an Opportunity

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound was vast and majestic, shaking the very soul, as if a celestial deity were swinging a hammer to forge an immortal weapon.

Inside the Fire Domain, Qin Sheng sat cross-legged, fully immersed in the great undertaking of weapon refining.

He had branded the hundreds of Emperor Talisman imprints he obtained from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin onto it. Those were the methods for constructing and repairing the Immortal Realm; for Qin Sheng's coffin, it felt like a match made in heaven.

As the moon reached its zenith in the outside world, Qin Sheng concluded his refining.

A black stone coffin hung in the air, adorned with profound Dao patterns, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"It can be considered perfect."

A smile appeared on Qin Sheng's face. During this period, he had balanced cultivation with weapon refining, allowing himself to settle down properly and achieving great results in both fields.

Storing the stone coffin away, Qin Sheng stretched his body, feeling in an excellent mood.

It is worth mentioning that during these two years, five more versions of Qin Sheng had died.

They came from different cinematic worlds: *Resident Evil*, *Ghost Sweepers*, and *Shaolin Zombies*.

There was also the "Little Li Flying Dagger" Qin Sheng, and one that even Qin Sheng hadn't expected—a version of himself from the children's animation *Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit: Seven Heroes*.

However, the world of *Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit* was different from what Qin Sheng remembered.

The creatures of that world were not anthropomorphic animals, but humans with animalistic features...

Like Blue Rabbit, who was a person with rabbit ears and a tail.

He had fulfilled all the dying wishes of these five Qin Shengs, merging all of their essences.

Qin Sheng's combat power multiplier had now reached fifteen times.

"It is time to leave." Qin Sheng looked at the surging flames around him.

The ninth layer of the Fire Domain was extremely terrifying; it was unrealistic to swallow those flames into his body for refinement, so he could not touch them for the time being.

When Qin Sheng returned to the sixth layer, the layer of Purple Qi Fire, he encountered an old man sitting on the ground refining a weapon.

The old man's aura was thick and terrifying; he had already stepped into the Sendai Secret Realm, and he looked over at Qin Sheng.

"I came in through this path earlier, and there was no one here at that time..."

With a quick thought, Qin Sheng turned and walked in another direction to show he had no intention of disturbing the old man's refining.

Let each person mind their own business.

"Young man, did you just come out of the seventh layer of the Fire Domain?" the old man spoke, his voice raspy and unpleasant.

"To be able to enter the seventh layer at such a young age is truly astonishing. This old Daoist has stayed here for ten years and still hasn't found a way in."

The seventh layer of the Fire Domain was filled with Five Elements True Fire, a terrifying flame capable of incinerating the Supreme Elders of sacred lands and great clans.

The old man only possessed the cultivation of a half-step Great Power; he simply did not dare to enter the Five Elements True Fire Domain.

For a junior to come and go freely within it was something anyone could see was unusual.

"Why be in such a hurry? Stay and have a chat with this old Daoist." The old man moved, his figure chasing after Qin Sheng like a ghost.

"Tell me your method for entering the seventh layer, and I shall bestow upon you a stroke of fortune!"

"You old geezer, if you can catch me, I'll give you a stroke of fortune!"

Qin Sheng shouted, fleeing toward the exit of the Fire Domain without looking back.

The old man continued to pursue Qin Sheng without attacking him from a distance. His goal was clear: he wanted to force him out of the Fire Domain.

Clearly, he feared Qin Sheng would use the terrain of the Fire Domain to maneuver against him, or even dash into the seventh layer to hide, which would leave the old man in a bind.

Finally, Qin Sheng burst out of the Fire Domain. The old man immediately caught up, no longer holding back, exploding with full strength and arriving in an instant.

But Qin Sheng stopped, turned to face the old man, and flashed a bright smile.

"Open your mouth. The fortune is coming."

Qin Sheng's aura suddenly erupted, soaring straight into the clouds.

Rumble!

Thunder and lightning flashed; the heavens were enraged. A massive Heavenly Tribulation descended instantly.

"The Dragon Transformation Tribulation?!"

The old man's face turned green. He turned to flee, but he was far too close to Qin Sheng.

"Trying to run?"

Qin Sheng struck, his Primordial Holy Light Technique shrouding the universe, forcibly pinning the old man in place.

"Are you a disciple of Yaoguang? I am a Supreme Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect! We have history with your Yaoguang Sacred Land, this is just a misunderstanding!" the old man said rapidly.

"Can we reconcile?"

"At a moment like this, are you joking?"

Qin Sheng ignored the old geezer and looked up at the pitch-black sky.

The Heavenly Tribulation had descended and had already locked onto him and the Xiaoyao Sect Supreme Elder; the latter could not escape.

In the world of *Shrouding the Heavens*, Heavenly Tribulations do not allow outside interference; they must be endured by the one who triggers them.

If someone else is within the range when a tribulation descends, the tribulation will strike them as well, delivering a tribulation suited to that person's realm.

Qin Sheng was undergoing the Dragon Transformation Tribulation, while the old geezer was about to face a tribulation suited for a half-step Great Power...

"Ah!"

The old man's screams were swallowed by the thunder. In a single instant, he was drenched in blood.

Heavenly Tribulations are the exclusive domain of peerless geniuses. For someone like the old geezer, who had only reached the half-step Great Power realm after hundreds or even thousands of years, it was highly likely he would never have faced a tribulation in his life.

To be suddenly struck by one now, the level of danger was unimaginable.

"You little beast, I will definitely kill you!" the old man roared.

"I bestowed a chance upon you, using the tribulation's fortune to baptize you, yet you show no gratitude. You truly are ungrateful."

Qin Sheng bathed in the sea of lightning, completely unbothered by the old man's threats.

He had to get through this tribulation first!

Roar!

A faint, phantom-like dragon roar echoed. Qin Sheng's spine began to glow, manifesting the form of a True Dragon, breathing out life essence and Dao marks as if he were about to transform into a dragon and ascend.

After the Four Poles Secret Realm comes the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

This realm is aptly named; a cultivator must nurture a great dragon—the spinal column—within their body. All the power of the human body relies on it for support.

The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm is a transitional realm and is extremely important.

This realm is divided into nine transformations. Once completed, one can enter the Sendai Realm through the spine. If the cultivation is not proficient, the Sendai Secret Realm cannot be opened at all.

In this realm, cultivators truly accumulate their foundation, undergoing the stage of shedding their mortal coil to transform into a dragon.

Once successful, one can soar to the heavens!

The tribulation lightning surged, and lightning pulsed. Fragments of Dao laws floated within it, accompanied by even more miraculous changes.

One dragon after another appeared in the sea of lightning, roaring as they charged, attempting to tear Qin Sheng to pieces.

This was the Great Dragon Tribulation, the most terrifying calamity within the Dragon Transformation Tribulation, existing only in legends.

It was said that in ancient times, the true essence of celestial dragons was imprinted within the origin of lightning tribulations, evolved by the heavens and earth to create the Great Dragon Tribulation—a move of absolute lethality.

But Qin Sheng felt no fear; he remained calm and composed.

"It is always you guys. We might as well be old friends."

This tribulation was not triggered by Qin Sheng breaking from the Four Poles Secret Realm into the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, but was rather his Fourth Transformation of the Dragon Transformation!

In the past two years, given Qin Sheng's cultivation talent and resources, it was impossible that he had only just entered the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm; he had already progressed several steps into this field.

He unleashed his divine techniques to meet the celestial dragons, the two sides fighting at their peak.

Qin Sheng seized the opportunity, continuously devouring fragments of the Great Dao and imprinting innate Dao patterns, achieving his own transformation.

The Great Dragon Tribulation would not disappear; even if the celestial dragons were destroyed, they would recover, for the power of the Great Universe is infinite.

But it did not matter. Qin Sheng continuously extracted the power of the Great Dragon Tribulation to nourish himself.

His spine glowed brilliantly, and bone by bone, it shifted to form an increasingly perfect True Dragon posture, undergoing ultimate tempering.

As time passed, Qin Sheng's physical body, primordial spirit, and magical power all underwent extreme transformations. The celestial dragons flew into the tribulation clouds and vanished.

Qin Sheng took a deep breath, drawing the boundless essence of heaven and earth into his body. His flesh and blood regenerated, his essence became full, all his consumption was replenished, and he reached a new peak.

The Fourth Transformation of the Dragon Transformation!

Qin Sheng looked toward the Supreme Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect again and shook his head.

"Why harbor such greed?"

On the ground lay a pile of charred bone and blood. A half-step Great Power had been struck dead by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Qin Sheng didn't even need to strike personally to cause a Supreme Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect to be reduced to ashes.

That was it?
