Chapter 2525: Seven-Colored Divine Light

The originally perilous tribulation clouds transformed into five-colored auspicious clouds, and the sky seemed to rain down flower petals.

These were not actual petals, but their illusory forms, each containing an immense amount of primordial energy.

As Zu'an bathed in them, he felt every cell in his body rejoice.

He had never before experienced such an abundance of the world's primordial energy.

In fact, this was different from the usual primordial energy of heaven and earth; it was purer and more comforting. Each breath felt like the sensation of drinking the spiritual spring from Yu Mountain.

"Is this the legendary immortal qi?" Zu'an wondered, his heart stirring.

His body was undergoing astonishing changes. Thanks to the body tempering from the Primordial Chaos Scripture, his physical strength had already surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, even exceeding that of a dragon.

Now, however, it had ascended to a new level, not merely an increase in strength but a fundamental qualitative transformation.

His skin emitted a faint, moonlit glow, and every part of his body could directly and seamlessly communicate with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, as if he had completely merged with the world.

Zu'an realized he seemed to have achieved the legendary Indestructible Vajra Body. Not only was his defense exceptionally strong, but as long as his primordial spirit remained, his body could regenerate infinitely.

Although no one had told him, he knew that other immortals likely hadn't reached this level.

After all, he had previously fought against the Heavenly Gods Erfu, Weiyuanyan, and Gu, and they clearly had not attained such a state.

Just then, a burst of ethereal music drifted through the air. A golden phantom of an immortal palace appeared mid-air, and a grand gate slowly opened, casting a golden beam of light that enveloped Zu'an.

Zu'an initially braced himself, thinking it might be another heavenly tribulation, but he quickly sensed that the golden light posed no danger; in fact, bathing in it was remarkably comfortable.

From a distance, the Mermaid Queen, witnessing this, couldn't help but ask Yu Men Beiqing, "What is that golden light?"

For some reason, she now instinctively trusted this girl, who was younger than her.

"Those who achieve immortality all possess their own divine light," Yu Men Beiqing replied, her gaze fixed on Zu'an. "The more colors or the purer the divine light, the greater its power tends to be, and the more boundless their future." She, too, was curious to see how many colors of divine light he would manifest.

The Mermaid Queen recalled the Heavenly God Qin, who had three colored lights, and nodded, appearing to understand yet not fully grasping it.

Zu'an, at this moment, was also captivated by the unusual phenomena within his own body. He felt an array illuminate point by point within his sea of consciousness, eventually forming the image of a peacock.

His heart filled with joy. After cultivating the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture for so many years, he had always unlocked the special abilities of different divine birds with each major breakthrough.

However, since the Roc, he had made several breakthroughs without activating any new divine bird abilities.

During that time, he had even suspected that the cultivation method he possessed might be incomplete, perhaps lacking the legendary ninth level.

Only now did he understand that the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture's cultivation levels were categorized differently from ordinary methods, and that he had only just met the requirements for the ninth level.

Ancient legends claimed that the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture could lead to immortality; he had never imagined it would be true!

He felt rings of different colored light begin to emanate from around him. He was very curious what new abilities this peacock divine bird would bestow upon him.

"Three, four, five... six, seven?!" Yu Men Beiqing was also counting the colors of the divine light emanating from him.

Having spent time with him, she knew Zu'an was no ordinary person, and it was unthinkable for him to achieve immortality with only the lowest one or two colors of divine light. Yet, she had never anticipated so many.

Didn't the most powerful divine light usually have only five colors? What in the world was this seven-colored divine light?

At that moment, the Keyboard System's voice echoed in Zu'an's mind:

"Congratulations on awakening the peacock ability: Five-Colored Divine Light. Within the five elements, nothing can resist its sweep, and nothing can withstand its breaking power."

Zu'an's breathing hitched. Could this be the Five-Colored Divine Light of Kong Xuan, the Peacock King from *Investiture of the Gods*?

Indeed, below a Saint, nothing could escape its sweep.

Because of this skill, mainstream opinion regarded him as the strongest being below a Saint.

If he truly possessed this skill, wouldn't he be virtually invincible?

Just then, the Keyboard System's voice resonated in his mind once more:

"Because you awakened this ability precisely during the legendary Seven-Colored Divine Tribulation, the Five-Colored Divine Light has merged with the fundamental Dao essence of this world, undergoing a mutation and transforming into Seven-Colored Divine Light. Its specific abilities and effects must now be explored by you."

Zu'an: "???"

What's happening? Where's my Five-Colored Divine Light?

Give me back my Five-Colored Divine Light!

The Seven-Colored Divine Light, though it sounds like it has two more colors than the five-colored version and should be more powerful, was still uncertain.

Who knew if the mutated ability would prove more useful or completely inferior?

He had just acquired a god-level skill, only for it to transform into an unknown quantity. Naturally, he was quite reluctant.

Unfortunately, despite his reluctance, there was nothing he could do.

The only thing that relieved him was that his level had finally increased!

He had been stuck at level 79 for too long. Now, he had finally broken through to level 80, and the experience bar continued to climb, eventually stopping at level 83.

The experience required for each subsequent level was truly immense. Fortunately, Zu'an had previously absorbed and accumulated a vast amount of power from powerful individuals, combined with the colossal influx of primordial energy from the tribulation, allowing him to break through so many levels consecutively.

"Is this the feeling of power...?" Zu'an murmured, his expression glowing with excitement as he felt the changes in his body.

He could sense that not only had his inherent strength multiplied many times over, but his comprehension of power had also reached an entirely new plane.

If he were to regain control over the world's authority, he could unleash even greater power.

"Brother Zu, have you become an immortal?" the Mermaid Queen's surprised voice exclaimed. She couldn't resist flying over, initially intending to rush into his arms, but then hesitated.

Standing beside her, Yu Men Beiqing wore a complex expression.

"I suppose so," Zu'an replied, looking at his hands with a sense of disbelief, as if dreaming.

"You smell so good now," the Mermaid Queen suddenly said, her face flushing slightly.

"An immortal's body is pure and flawless. The heavenly tribulation has cleansed all impurities, so naturally it smells good. Would you like a closer sniff?" Zu'an regretted his words almost immediately. He would never have been so audacious before, but having just broken through, his mood was understandably elated.

The Mermaid Queen was quite tempted, but with Yu Men Beiqing present, she didn't dare to act on her impulses.

Instead, she quickly asked, "What's the difference after becoming an immortal?"

"Besides the increase in strength and my comprehension of power, it seems my perception of this world is also somewhat different," Zu'an observed. He noticed the world seemed to possess many more colors, and things he couldn't perceive before were now perfectly clear to him.

For example, he could now discern the traces of wind and even the flow of primordial energy, as if his understanding of the world had become much closer to its fundamental essence.

The Mermaid Queen was about to ask more questions, but Yu Men Beiqing interrupted: "Why is your divine light seven-colored? Does it have any special functions?"
