Apotheosis

Once the Land of Bone Tribulation was opened, the warriors had a training time of eight hundred hours. That was nearly a month.

But now that only fifty hours remained, Zen was no longer in a rush or held the same interest as before in refining the tribulation skeleton. In fact, he had been staying at the first layer on the very edge of the Myriad Tribulations Storm.

Previously Zen had successfully refined his Chaotic Source Spirits by the method of "being beaten." The rate at which they grew was astoundingly fast. It didn't take long before Zen made his way to the late stage of the Chaotic Source Realm.

When he attempted to refine the Chaotic Source Spirits with the assistance of the blue-golden water drops in the Myriad Tribulation Storm, he was also "being beaten." But this method proved to be more effective.

The tiny light dots that signified the Chaotic Source Spirits were going through the constant process of being rinsed and refined. They were as minuscule as a needle tip in size. Over and over, they extinguished and lit up, then extinguished and lit up in an endless loop. While this method kept on repeating itself, the tiny particles of light simultaneously grew.

This sensation felt quite subtle. It resembled the feeling of countless seeds spreading and breaking through their roots inside his body, and slowly branching their way out. It was as if the Truth of Godly Way acted as an enzyme and sped up the process by infusing itself with them.

In just half a day, the size of the light spots had more than doubled.

Not only did they grow in size each passing minute, but their endurance to the power rose to a higher degree as well. With his newly acquired strength and resistance, Zen effortlessly took a step forward and made his way onto the second layer.

With this action of his, he attracted various curious eyes towards him that belonged to the creatures on the Other Shore.

After Zen's month-long stay on the sixteenth layer, it could be said that the first and second layers didn't prove fruitful enough for him, which was most of the reason why the Other Shore creatures failed to conclude his motives.

Of course, Zen didn't explain to them either. Instead, he chose to prioritize his refinement and kept all his focus on it alone. Slowly and gradually, as he moved forward, the light dots kept on growing in unison with his steps.

When the light dots grew to a certain degree, Zen began to count them carefully. They appeared to have tripled in numbers as the once two hundred Chaotic Source Spirits had now increased to six hundred.

"To conclude everything I know, the two hundred Chaotic Source Spirits can absorb about ten thousand divine megatons of force. When I cultivate to the late stage of the Chaotic Source Realm once more, I can resist the attack of more than thirty thousand divine megatons of force only by the help of Chaotic Source Spirits."

Watching the Chaotic Source Spirits' rapid growth, Zen couldn't help but feel his heart flutter with joy.

He had entered the Land of Bone Tribulation intending to cultiv

Shore.

Elizabeth had plans to summon her powerful clansmen of the Holy Soul Realm, from Stage Thirty-two of the Other Shore. She had debriefed the news to the Oneness Sky Palace. Pearce and the others felt themselves well up with joy upon hearing this from her. Stage Thirty of the Other Shore held significance in terms of its location. If humans were to gain control of this stage, the benefits would be incalculable.

However, when the strong warriors of the Holy Soul Realm attempted to rush down from Stage Thirty-two to claim the area, they encountered the same issue as Libby. There was something strangely wrong with the bones in the Sanskrit Light Stage, which prevented them from passing through it.

The Holy Souls residing in Stage Thirty-two were refused access to go down. Even so, the Holy Souls currently in Stage Twenty-nine and Twenty-eight of the Other Shore were able to move up to get there. Although the Holy Souls combined from both stages weren't dominant in numbers, they were enough to lend Elizabeth a hand.

During this period, the Element Spirit race had also dispatched Five-Element Slaves from the higher stage. Unfortunately for them, they were quickly obliterated by Pompeo, the bald giant.

After successfully taking over the ice city, Elizabeth commanded all the Other Shore creatures in Stage Thirty to obediently submit under her rule.

Elizabeth had been leading the Divine Lair in the Sun Crow race, so she was experienced on how to bring others under her control through either brute force or bribery. The Other Shore creatures residing in Stage Thirty had no other choice but to pick the easier option and surrender, or they would have been asked to leave.

Within a short span of a month, the once rough Stage Thirty of the Other Shore was brought to strict order and became organized under the watchful rule of Elizabeth.

Elizabeth had someone else send the message to Zen, while she herself had been staying on the Other Shore during this period of time. She was too preoccupied to leave the Other Shore.
