Kill the Son of God and slay the king with one hand!

...Lin Dong walked along, the ground covered with Flame Stones.

Having undergone the baptism of Fire Law for countless years, they were already indestructible.

For some Cultivators, they could be used as precious materials for Artifact Refining, but they were useless to Lin Dong; he could directly confront a King Weapon with his bare hands.

After walking for half a day, Lin Dong found nothing.

Suddenly, he sensed a strange fluctuation in the distance, his eyes piercing the sky to land on a nearby cave.

“This is... the Aura of flame crystal!”

Lin Dong flashed forward, quickly arriving in front of the cave, where he could faintly see a fiery red interior, the rock walls covered in Flame Crystal Stones.

flame crystals contain concentrated Fire Law.

They are rarely seen in the outside world and even have decent effects on some King Realm Grandmasters.

They can be absorbed and refined for one's own use, or added during Artifact Refining to enhance destructive power; either way, the effect is excellent.

It seems this Secret Realm's unique domain gave birth to so many flame crystals.

Just as Lin Dong stepped into the cave, his alarm was triggered. Sensing something, he rapidly retreated out of the cave.

Roar!

Just then, an earth-shattering roar resounded.

A Lava Giant Palm suddenly slammed down where Lin Dong had just stood, causing the world to collapse and a searing Aura to sweep in all directions.

“A Half-step King Realm Flame Beast!”

Lin Dong was not surprised. With so many flame crystals, a powerful creature would naturally guard them, otherwise, they would have been long since divided up.

Flame Beasts are nurtured by heaven and earth.

They are unique creatures exclusive to the Emperor Yans Secret Realm; some experts say they are mysterious Exotic Species conceived by the unique Exotic Flames and Law of this place.

Their strength is immense, and the Law Flames covering their body are overwhelming.

The deeper one goes into the Secret Realm, the stronger the Flame Beasts conceived there become.

Even Cultivators who come here are unwilling to provoke them, but it is said that killing one yields unexpected rewards.

“Roar!”

Flame Beasts have brutal temperaments, low intelligence, and extremely strong territorial instincts. Sensing Lin Dong trespassing on its territory, it immediately charged at him.

Flame Beasts come in thousands of strange forms.

This one was a creature with the head of a tortoise and the body of a bear. Its giant bear paw, like a massive hand, terrifyingly slammed down towards Lin Dong, shaking heaven and earth.

“Big guy, you're not strong enough!”

Lin Dong advanced instead of retreating, his Blood Qi surging as he countered with a punch.

With the power of his Physical Body, let alone a Half-step King Flame Beast, even a King Realm Grandmaster wouldn't be a match.

Roar!

The bear-shaped Flame Beast screamed, flew backward, and dissolved into scattered sparks of light.

Hmm?

After killing the Flame Beast, Lin Dong actually felt a pure and dense power of Law feeding back to him—enough to equal several years of hard cultivation for an ordinary Cultivator.

It seems this is the benefit people speak of when killing Flame Beasts.

Lin Dong looked at the dissipating Flame Beast, feeling a little regretful.

He had originally wanted to try the taste of the Flame Beast.

But who knew it couldn't be eaten? What a waste... Lin Dong walked into the cave, waved his large hand, and with a surge of Law, instantly collected all the flame crystals inside.

Counting them roughly, there were tens of thousands of flame crystals—a significant haul.

Boom!

Just as Lin Dong was about to leave... several powerful Auras arrived from outside the cave.

Lin Dong's expression sharpened. It seemed the commotion just now had attracted many powerful figures. He walked out and saw several silhouettes surrounding the cave entrance.

“Your Excellency, you cannot take the flame crystals.”

“Leave the flame crystals, and I can let you depart safely. Otherwise, die!”

The leader was a young man holding a long spear. He brandished the spear, his Aura sharp and disdainful of all around him.

This was a powerful Saint, considered among the strongest of the younger generation in Qing Province, possessing a cultivation base at the Sixth Heaven of Purple Palace Realm.

The Cultivation World in the Central Region of Qing Province was this brutal.

Attacking without a word to kill people and seize treasures—Lin Dong had just experienced it firsthand upon arriving.

The few Dao Protectors beside this person had powerful Auras.

The weakest among them were at the Purple Palace Realm Peak, and there was even a King Realm Grandmaster, whose powerful Aura pressed down on Lin Dong.

“Hiss!”

“It's actually the Saint from Azure Cloud Holy Land!”

“This guy's luck is terrible. He got such an Opportunity only to have to hand it over.”

The surrounding Cultivators discussed animatedly, recognizing the identity of the young man with the spear and his group as people from a major Holy Land in Qing Province.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely hand over the flame crystals to save their life and settle the matter peacefully.

Unfortunately, these people had terrible luck, running into Lin Dong, the ninth Successor of the Thatched Cottage, who was least afraid of being pressured by power.

“Whether I can take it or not is not up to you.”

“Want what I have? You'll have to see if you have the life to take it.”

Lin Dong's gaze was like electricity, his Aura intimidating. He walked step by step toward the Azure Cloud Saint and the others, and with every step, a powerful Aura pressed down upon them.

“Hmph!”

“What arrogance.”

“Just a Fourth Heaven of Purple Palace Realm Cultivator, yet you dare speak so wildly? Watch me suppress you!”

The Azure Cloud Saint's eyes were cold. He charged out with his long spear, like a streak of light tearing through the Void Realm, stabbing towards Lin Dong.

As a Saint of his generation, he possessed an Invincible Heart and feared no peer Cultivator.

Furthermore, Lin Dong's cultivation was weaker than his.

Silver Dragon Breaking Heaven!

A speck of cold light pierced the firmament, sounding like thunder, carrying immense might. Any Purple Mansion expert facing this strike would change color.

“Trifling skill.”

“Let me show you what a Dragon truly is!”

Lin Dong looked disdainful. His Blood Qi surged out instantly, and Imperial Dragon Qi shot into the sky, transforming into thousands of True Dragons that swallowed the attack.

The Aura shook heaven and earth, carrying vast Law.

The moment Lin Dong attacked, the King Realm Grandmaster from Azure Cloud Holy Land seemed to sense a powerful threat emanating from Lin Dong and couldn't help but exclaim.

“Saint, be careful!”

Simultaneously, he struck out like lightning, extending a giant hand of Law to grab Lin Dong.

However, he was still too slow.

A Dragon Roar shook the sky, Astral Wind howled, and a figure flew backward, slamming heavily onto the ground.

Lin Dong's eyes were contemptuous: “The person I intend to kill, you cannot stop.”

The Azure Cloud Saint, bleeding from his seven orifices, looked at Lin Dong with disbelief, twitched a few times, and fell into a pool of blood.

“Dead?”

“Holy crap! Who is this person? So powerful! He instantly killed the Saint of Azure Cloud Holy Land with a wave of his hand!”

Everyone was shocked. Where did this ruthless person come from? He disregarded a King Realm Grandmaster and instantly killed a Saint with a wave of his hand—his methods were decisive and powerful.

“Who are you? How dare you kill my Holy Land's Saint!”

The King Realm Grandmaster of Azure Cloud Holy Land roared and attacked, both startled and enraged. For Lin Dong to possess such Combat Strength, his background must be extraordinary.

“Thatched Cottage, Lin Dong!”

“Don't rush, I'll send you down together.”

Facing the attacking Azure Cloud Holy Land Elder, Lin Dong casually threw a punch that was peerlessly domineering. Imperial Dragon Qi engulfed the figures of the Azure Cloud Holy Land group.

“Ah! Ah...”

Law rippled, and heaven and earth trembled.

Several screams rang out as the Azure Cloud Holy Land group was instantly annihilated by the Imperial Dragon Qi.

Lin Dong could slay Xueji Marquis when he was only at the First Heaven of Purple Palace Realm, let alone now that he was at the Fourth Heaven of Purple Palace Realm and possessed Divine Restriction Combat Strength.

Killing a Purple Palace Realm Saint and a First Heaven of King Realm expert was effortless for him.

Lin Dong killed the group, took their Storage Rings, and departed freely.

It is believed that before long, the news of the Thatched Cottage's ninth Successor Overthrowing a King Realm Grandmaster will spread throughout the entire Secret Realm as if on wings.

This was a Young Supreme no weaker than the Little Peng King!

Many Cultivators were looking forward to seeing if the two great Young Supremes, both residing in the Secret Realm, would encounter each other.

If they did meet, what kind of earth-shattering battle would ensue?
