"But what?" The merchant quickly asked.

"Add something else."

The merchant thought for a moment and said, "You've seen all my goods. Pick one yourself."

"Then let's take that buddhist treasure." Lei Ao pointed at the diamond ring the merchant took out for the first time.

"No problem."

The merchant hurriedly nodded his head. This thing might be a treasure, but it was also hot goods. He would be on tenterhooks while carrying it, so it wasn't necessarily a bad thing to throw it away.

"And add …"

"More?" The merchant's face twitched and he spat out a few words with difficulty: "What else do you want?"

"You want that set of God Realm Intent."

"Just this?" The merchant was surprised for a moment and felt relieved. He thought that he would have to pay with his blood this time around.

The deity's will from the God Realm wasn't expensive. Every city had to sell it, so after giving it to Lei Ao, they could just buy another one.

After the two of them reached an agreement, the merchant got the complete secret manual and left the camp, probably to find a place to go into closed door cultivation.

As for Lei Ao, he left as well, looking for a safe place to study the blood jade.

There was no place that was absolutely safe within the Twin Realms Mountain. Lei Ao couldn't find anything, so he simply walked towards a nearby den of ferocious beasts.

Whether it was powers from the Realm of the Gods or the Immortals, they would consciously avoid the gathering place of fierce beasts, except for those that had entered the Twin Realms Mountain to hunt beasts.

To become a hunter, one needed great strength. A fierce beast's entire body was a treasure. If one won, one would be able to obtain rich spoils of war. If one lost, they would lose one's life.

There were hunters in the Two Realms Mountain, but there were very few of them. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one dared to provoke these ferocious beasts.

They didn't know if the 'restraining breath technique' would work on ferocious beasts. Not only did they have spiritual sense, they also had sharp noses.

This was the nest of a Savage Tiger, the king of this area. There was a striking red mark on the map that indicated this area was a restricted area.

"Damn, just by getting close, he already has such a huge pressure. What kind of strength does this tiger have?" Lei Ao looked at the cove half a kilometer away. The sweat on his face was dripping unnaturally.

Strictly speaking, ferocious beasts were actually demons as well. However, they were more inclined towards physical combat, and didn't know how to borrow divine weapons like the demons.

Other than some ferocious beasts with powerful bloodlines, other fierce beasts generally only knew how to breath and adjust their breathing. If it was a fierce beast with inherited memories, then it would grow to be comparable to a divine beast.

After entering the cove, Lei Ao was instantly stunned. There was a tiger's head in front of his eyes, it was as thick as his entire body, and this giant tiger was still lying down.

F * ck, I thought the cove was deep, but it's just a nest. Lei Ao was so scared that he didn't dare to act rashly.

The giant tiger stared at the uninvited guest, its huge body had no intention of standing up, it only let out a low roar, as if it was warning people.

Strange, since when did the beast become so kind?

Lei Ao forced himself to calm down. He was puzzled, and as he looked around the giant tiger, he immediately understood what was going on.

There were a total of seven tiger heads in total, and they hadn't even opened their eyes yet. However, the head was half as big as Lei Ao.

The saying that a tiger was born smaller than a cat obviously did not apply to the current situation.

The giant tiger didn't attack Lei Ao. Firstly, it was weak after delivery and secondly, it didn't want to leave the newborn tiger cub.

Lei Ao thought for a moment. There was no need to provoke this beast. Although the beast that gave birth to the tiger cub was weak, it was still the fiercest one.

He slowly withdrew and found a cave not far away from the tiger den. This area had the aura of a giant tiger and the other ferocious beasts did not dare to enter. The Refiners of the Celestial domain and Immortal-ranked powers viewed this place as a forbidden area.

He first took out the diamond ring to observe it. He discovered that he could also use it when activating the divine vein, but was unable to fully utilize its effects.

After throwing the blood jade into the small world, he began to use the power of his divine meridians to refine it. The blood jade, which was originally as hard as steel, gradually began to soften.

The Divine Veins directly absorbed this thread of essence from the body, and then evolved.

In that instant, Lei Ao only felt as if he had been placed in lava. His entire body seemed as if it were on fire, especially his blood; he felt as if it was almost completely evaporated.

"Damn, this evolution of the Divine Veins is simply a type of torture."

Lei Ao gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Not long later, a comfortable feeling came from his body again. His power and cultivation realm was increasing rapidly, and he soon reached the sixth level of the Refinement Realm.

Suddenly, just as Lei Ao was enjoying himself, a thunderclap sounded in the sky and a feeling of fear arose in his heart.

"Damn, it's Little Heavenly Tribulation. I truly didn't come at the right time." Lei Ao instantly woke up from his stupor and flew out of the cave. Above his head was a rolling black cloud, and a heavy pressure rolled over him like a wave.

"Hmph, you've already passed the Celestial Tribulation. Why should I be afraid of you, little Celestial Tribulation?" Lei Ao looked around and found that there was no danger. He sat down cross-legged and prepared to absorb the heavenly lightning.

Every time three, six, or nine Layered Heavens were tested, a small heavenly tribulation would descend. The tribulation would then pass the great perfection stage and enter the next realm before the great heavenly tribulation descended.

The three bolts of tribulation were the six bolts of heavenly tribulation. The last time, Lei Ao and the others had been undergoing the tribulation.

These heavenly tribulation were of no threat to the Divine Veins. The true test was the Divine Tribulation Lightning.

Lei Ao had forgotten that every time a Divine Vein evolved, a Celestial Tribulation would descend. And right now, it was the lesser heavenly tribulation that resulted from the absorption of the blood jade's evolving Divine Veins.

Three bolts of heavenly lightning passed in an instant. Lei Ao pressed the heavenly lightning into his body, preparing to refine the blood jade while borrowing the heavenly lightning to refine his body.

Just as he was about to enter the cave, another heart-palpitating pressure came from the top of his head. Even his primordial spirit was frightened.

"God damn, it's the Divine Tribulation Lightning."

This was the first time he encountered such a lightning tribulation. Previously, he had heard it coldly, but before the Primordial Era, only powerful families with Divine Veins were able to do so.

The existence of a Divine Vein was a heaven-defying performance. It was said that this bloodline had the power to change the flow of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao had been suppressing its growth.

If heavenly tribulation was a test of the Heavenly Dao, then the Sky Execution was the killing intent of the Heavenly Dao.

He wanted to kill those who had transcended the tribulation on purpose and kill them in the process of their growth.

There were a total of nine divine lightning bolts, and their power was equal to the extent of evolution of the divine vein.

It was fortunate that Lei Ao had only refined a low level treasure like the Blood Jade. If it was a spiritual treasure like the Dragon Spirit Fruit, then the Sky Execution would definitely not be something that he could cross right now.

Without giving it much thought, the first bolt of heavenly lightning struck down with the force of a thunderbolt.

"Damn, it's not lightning?!"

As soon as they touched each other, Lei Ao's upper body nearly disintegrated. The heavenly thunder that fell down was not thunder, but a prismatic energy body that was compressed.

The crystal was not big, about the size of a pinky finger, and after entering Lei Ao's body, it flowed along the blood vessels, emitting a strong power of thunder and lightning.

The thunder and lightning consumed the crystal's energy. The more it radiated, the smaller the crystal became.

However, with the current rate of distribution, unless Lei Ao actively absorbed and refined it, he wouldn't be able to cause the crystal to disappear within a year.

What was worse was that Lei Ao didn't have the time to refine it. The tribulation cloud above him began to roll up once more as a second bolt of heavenly lightning descended.

"Damn it, if we don't resist, then we're doomed."

Lei Ao's eyes narrowed. At this point in time, he couldn't allow the lightning to strike his body like Leng You Ran had said. When he crossed the lesser celestial tribulation, he had consumed quite a bit of his physical strength.

In addition, he had been heavily injured by the first bolt of lightning without any preparation. If he didn't take any more measures, the remaining eight bolts of lightning could have easily reaped his life.

With a swoosh, the Five Diagram Star was formed in his hand. He wrapped a gentle force around the heavenly thunder in an attempt to dissipate the force.

However, the impact of the divine lightning was extremely powerful. After being buffered by the array formation, although it no longer damaged Lei Ao's body, it still pierced into his body like a needle and continued to travel through his blood vessels, resonating with the first divine lightning.

In an instant, Lei Ao felt as if his entire body had been electrocuted. With the burning sensation of the blood jade being refined, his entire body was covered in thunder and fire.

The remaining seven heavenly thunders absolutely could not let it emit any more lightning or its body would collapse.

At this crucial moment of life and death, Lei Ao appeared very calm. He quickly took out the pills and the channel crystal, doing his best to recover his strength.

As soon as the third bolt of lightning landed, he used all his strength to create a palm-sized formation that perfectly covered the lightning.
