King Xiaopeng is crowned king and threatens to kill Lin Dong!

"Refreshing!"

Lin Dong's eyes flashed like lightning, his black hair danced wildly, and he was shrouded in the mysterious and profound Primordial Immortal Flame, making him look like a Flame Emperor descending upon the world.

"Mas... Master!"

The Emperor Flame—no, it should be called the Immortal Flame—was in a daze, as if it saw the peerless elegance of its previous master, Emperor Yan.

"Let's go, it's time to leave this place!"

Lin Dong glanced at the collapsing volcano, and with a flash of his figure, he departed using the Line Character Secret.

Rumble!

The volcano collapsed, and the underground magma boiled and surged incessantly, swallowing and annihilating everything.

Lin Dong was shrouded in the Primordial Immortal Flame, granting him Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity.

As he walked, the Wordless Heavenly Book on Lin Dong's person suddenly reacted. "Right, there's also the matter Third Senior Brother entrusted to me."

Lin Dong stopped in front of a mountain wall.

Digging three feet into the ground, Lin Dong discovered a dim page of the Wordless Heavenly Book, which seemed to sense the other page on his person.

Suddenly, it radiated immeasurable light once more.

Lin Dong put this page of the Wordless Heavenly Book away.

As for the skeletal remains of that Academy Divine Child, they had long since disappeared.

Even a King Realm powerhouse couldn't stay here for long, let alone a set of bones.

Few other Cultivators could reach this place; the Saint Fire Sect Cultivators who managed to get here were all wearing defensive Magic Treasures that were at least of the Emperor Realm.

One could imagine how strong the former Divine Child of the Seven Stars Academy had been.

Unfortunately, his story ended here.

Lin Dong continued toward the volcano's exit, and the journey was very smooth.

Hmm?

As he neared the exit, Lin Dong suddenly stopped. He looked around and shouted coldly, "Whoever you are, get out here!"

As soon as Lin Dong arrived here, he felt several waves of intense killing intent striking toward him.

Rumble! Ssh! Ssh!

More than that, several certain-kill Formations had been laid around him. Countless bone-chilling cold arrows pierced through the air, aiming for Lin Dong's life.

If an ordinary Late Stage King Realm expert fell into this trap, they would certainly perish in an instant.

But for Lin Dong, it was somewhat trivial. With a shake of his body, his powerful Protective Aura swept out, suppressing all evil.

"Young friend, you truly are surprising."

"To think you actually snatched the Emperor Flame from the hands of the Saint Fire Sect."

"Though I don't know what means you used to kill so many people from the Saint Fire Sect and seize the Emperor Flame,"

"I imagine that after facing so many experts, exhausting all your trump cards, and then undergoing Fusion with the Emperor Flame, you must be at the end of your rope by now."

An elder from a great sect stepped out, sighing slowly.

Buzz!

Several more figures emerged around him. The looks in their eyes as they watched Lin Dong were filled with both amazement and undisguised greed.

"This is what you're relying on?"

Lin Dong's gaze turned cold. He was familiar with their faces; by killing the three Kings of the Saint Fire Sect, he had indirectly saved these people.

"Young friend, forgive us!"

"Men die for wealth just as birds die for food. We hope you can understand our position."

"If you can hand over the Emperor Flame, in light of your previous kindness, we might consider sparing your life. What do you think?"

The group had been lying in ambush here just to try their luck.

If the ones who obtained the Emperor Flame had been the group of powerhouses from the Saint Fire Sect, they probably wouldn't have dared to provoke them.

But when they discovered it was Lin Dong, they couldn't hold back and jumped out.

They believed that since Lin Dong had fused with the Emperor Flame, he would be heavily injured if not dead. They were not at all afraid of a Lin Dong who wasn't at his peak.

"Understand your grandmother!"

"Go to hell for this young master!"

Lin Dong attacked without another word. Terrifying Immortal Flame ignited all over his body, instantly shattering the Formation. It was like a surging sea of fire, sweeping in all directions.

"Ah..."

"How can you still have such combat power!"

"Ah, I'm unwilling! Young friend, spare me, I will leave right now!"

The several King Realm experts couldn't escape in time. Just touching a spark of the flame caused them to instantly turn into human torches, their screams echoing through the sea of fire.

"You lot! If you have anything to say, go tell it to King Yama!"

Lin Dong said coldly.

Soon, the screams abruptly ceased, and the several King Realm experts were completely annihilated, body and soul.

Lin Dong walked out of the volcano and glanced at the collapsing Secret Realm. There was no point in staying longer, so he headed toward the entrance of the Secret Realm in the sky.

This trip could be considered a Perfection.

Not only had he completed the task Third Senior Brother gave him,

But he had also obtained the Emperor Flame, and even unexpectedly acquired the Primordial Immortal Flame. His cultivation was now only one step away from slaying his path to enter the King Realm... Meanwhile, outside the Secret Realm.

One figure after another flew out from the Emperor Yan's Secret Realm. Cultivators from various orthodoxies stood guard, ready to receive their own Disciples.

Boom!

A golden light streaked across the sky, descending like a thunderclap. It radiated a powerful King Realm pressure, and a heaven-shaking Yao pressure swept in all directions.

“Heavens! Little Peng King has actually been crowned King!”

“What Opportunity did he get in the Secret Realm?”

Some Cultivators recognized the newcomer's identity and couldn't help but cry out in surprise. Little Peng King was likely the first Prodigy of the Qingzhou younger generation to slay his path and be crowned King, right?

His Aura was terrifying, definitely not weaker than some veteran King Realm experts.

It was heard that after Little Peng King was crowned King, he slew a Late Stage King Realm expert in the Secret Realm to prove his invincible Dao Heart.

“With his combat power, he's probably invincible among the Qingzhou younger generation, isn't he?”

“Shh, stop talking... Don't you know? Little Peng King suffered a defeat in the Secret Realm!”

“Hiss!”

“Who could defeat Little Peng King? Could it be the Sequence Divine Child of the Lu Family? Perhaps he has the strength to compete with Little Peng King?”

“Supposedly, it was the ninth successor of the Thatched Cottage.”

“What? Has another successor from the Thatched Cottage emerged?”

“Indeed. This successor is just as fierce as the previous ones, killing Saints like slaughtering chickens or dogs. He single-handedly struck back against two Young Supremes: Little Peng King and the Lu Family's Sequence Divine Child!”

“The Lu Family's Sequence Divine Child is dead!”

“Little Peng King was heavily injured and fled in a pathetic state.”

“Most importantly, the Thatched Cottage Disciple won despite being the weaker one!”

Seeing Little Peng King waiting here with such aggressive momentum, it wasn't hard to guess what he wanted to do.

He likely broke through to the King Realm and wanted to fight the Thatched Cottage Disciple, Lin Dong, again to reclaim his dignity.

When this shocking news spread, it was like a star crashing down, exploding in the outside world and setting off boundless waves.

Boom!

Many Cultivators outside heard of this for the first time, their minds buzzing. Was the Thatched Cottage successor truly this terrifying?

“Hmph!”

Just then, a cold snort rang out.

The Cultivators who were still discussing let out muffled groans, their faces turning pale. As the piercing pressure washed over them, they all became as quiet as cicadas in winter.

“Whoever dares to discuss this King again shall be executed without mercy!”

Little Peng King's gaze was bone-chilling, and his uncontrollable killing intent shattered the Void Realm.

As a Young Supreme of the Yao Race, he possessed invincible confidence and had never suffered a single defeat.

To him, the battle with Lin Dong a few days ago was absolutely the greatest humiliation of his life.

Now, he had slain his path to become a King; his Bloodline and Physical Body had undergone a metamorphosis, and he had even fused with a Saint's hand bone.

In the second battle, he intended to slay Lin Dong and bathe in his blood to wash away his shame and prove his invincible Dao Heart.

“This King will leave these words here!”

“Today, if Lin Dong can come out of the Emperor Flame Secret Realm alive, this King shall surely slay him!”

Little Peng King's words were incomparably overbearing, containing infinite confidence. With a disdainful gaze, he truly showed an air of invincibility.

“Oh?”

“Who wants to kill me?”

Just then, a voice resounded through the heavens and earth, coming from the Secret Realm as if in response to Little Peng King. Everyone looked up in utter shock...
