Invincible King!
An unknown amount of time passed.
Thunder flickered and immortal light descended, bathing Lin Dong's body.
His physique was translucent, adorned with specks of golden light, making him appear divine and solemn.
Swish!
Lin Dong opened his eyes, and a terrifying golden light flashed past, piercing through the Void Realm.
Hu!
Lin Dong took a deep breath, feeling an unprecedented sense of comfort throughout his body.
With the help of the baptism from the Tribulation Liquid, his Physical Body had been sublimated, becoming comparable to a Quasi-Saint's body.
His entire being was sublimated; his Divine Soul, Physical Body, and Realm broke through once again, reaching the sixth level of the King Realm.
Few Cultivators were like him, reaching the sixth level in a single step right after a Breakthrough; others would have to Cultivate for decades or even a century to achieve such a feat.
He didn't know exactly how strong his combat power was.
Quasi-Saint level?
He wasn't sure, as he hadn't yet tried to battle a true Quasi-Saint.
But one thing was certain: he was invincible among his peers in the Nine Provinces. No matter what Hidden Prodigy or Ancient Freak they were, they wouldn't be enough to challenge him.
He truly resided permanently within the God-Forbidden Domain.
His opponents were no longer the so-called younger generation; he had to set his sights on the older generation of Cultivators.
Lin Dong looked toward the Heavenly Palace deep within the Chaos and murmured, "I don't know how much time has passed. Little Peng King should still be waiting for me. It's time to go back."
He restrained his Qi and phenomena.
Suddenly, Lin Dong's figure paused. Looking at the Lightning Tribulation Pond before him, he felt an urge to move the entire pond away.
"Tribulation Liquid is good stuff; I can't let it go..."
Afterward, Lin Dong tried many methods, whether it was attacks from Precious Techniques or Magic Treasures, but he couldn't budge the Lightning Tribulation Pond in the slightest.
This completely extinguished his idea of moving the pond.
Lin Dong even tried to bite off a corner of the pond, but unfortunately, his teeth couldn't even scratch it.
Ultimately, Lin Dong took out a special treasure tool, collected some Tribulation Liquid, and left the place of Origin deep within the Lightning Tribulation.
This substance had the divine effect of tempering the Physical Body and was of great use even to a Saint.
Although he no longer needed it, he could give it to Little Peng King, Third Senior Brother, and the others.
This trip had been very fruitful.
Not only did he successfully break through to the King Realm as he wished.
He also obtained two of the Ten Fierce Precious Techniques and the baptism of the Tribulation Liquid.
As Lin Dong departed, the sea of Lightning Tribulation that had appeared deep within the Sea of Chaos Clouds for half a year slowly receded.
In various Ancient Lands, many experts sensed it one after another. They all looked toward the depths of the Chaos, their eyes flickering with inexplicable expressions.
The Lightning Tribulation had lasted so long without dissipating.
It wasn't hard to guess that this young man from the Thatched Cottage had truly obtained the Tribulation Liquid.
Lightning Tribulation was a huge temptation even for Saints, let alone those in the Royal Extremity Realm; it was a supreme holy medicine that was sought after but never found.
Some experts secretly left their Ancient Lands, their purpose self-evident... Buzz!
Chaos Heavenly Palace.
This place was originally calm and without waves.
A powerful pressure swept in, tearing through the Chaos.
Little Peng King, who was Cultivating, suddenly woke up with an expression as if facing a great enemy. But when he saw the newcomer's face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Dong, Brother Dong?"
"What, you don't recognize me?"
Lin Dong stepped through the Chaos, his blood and Qi surging like a Dragon, but a smile was indeed on his face.
Little Peng King showed a look of joy, "Brother Dong, you're finally back!"
In his heart, stormy waves of shock arose.
Brother Dong actually returned alive from the place of Origin within the Lightning Tribulation.
He naturally knew how mysterious that place was. Throughout history, many brilliant and stunning Prodigies had existed, yet few had ever truly set foot there.
Those who returned alive numbered fewer than five.
Lin Dong nodded, "Mhm, it's been hard on you waiting for me for so long. This is for you..."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a treasure bottle containing Tribulation Liquid flew in front of Little Peng King.
What is this?
Little Peng King took a curious look and turned pale with shock: "Holy crap, Brother Dong, is... is this the legendary Tribulation Liquid? The legend that there's a Lightning Tribulation Pond in the place of Origin is actually true!"
Lin Dong smiled and nodded.
Inside the treasure bottle, the lightning was world-shaking and the immortal light was brilliant, containing an extremely dense Origin of the myriad Daos of heaven and earth.
Little Peng King took just one breath and felt comfortable all over, as if his whole body was ascending to immortality. His eyes widened like someone who had never seen the world.
"As expected of the Tribulation Liquid that even Saints covet."
"I only took one breath, and it gave me the illusion that my whole body was about to be sublimated."
Little Peng King marveled, then pushed the treasure bottle back to Lin Dong: "No, Brother Dong, this is too precious. I can't take it from you."
"If I give it to you, take it."
"There's plenty of this stuff in the Lightning Tribulation Pond."
"Your Brother Dong only came out after drinking my fill."
"This Tribulation Liquid already has negligible effect on me. If you want to surpass Kunpeng Zi against the odds, then take it."
Lin Dong's words left Little Peng King speechless.
Ultimately, under Lin Dong's persuasion, Little Peng King accepted the Tribulation Liquid.
During the two and a half years Little Peng King stayed in the Chaos Heavenly Palace, he wasn't without gains; his Cultivation had broken through to the sixth level of the King Realm.
He had also Cultivated several loose techniques of the Kun Peng Precious Technique.
Compared to others, he would be considered a Prodigy.
But compared to Lin Dong, he wasn't enough.
Little Peng King was a bit depressed; Lin Dong had just broken through to the King Realm and already caught up to his cultivation level, which indeed made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Pack up."
"We're preparing to leave this place."
Lin Dong stepped forward and patted Little Peng King on the shoulder.
Lin Dong had almost completely comprehended the ancient texts left here by Chaos Heavenly Venerable.
Having broken through to the King Realm, staying here no longer served much purpose for Lin Dong, so there was no need to waste time staying longer... Outside the Sea of Chaos Clouds.
Experts from various Ancient Lands had come out, looking at the Sea of Chaos Clouds with flickering gazes.
Undercurrents surged, and in the shadows, one obscure and profound aura after another hid an unknown number of experts.
Without a doubt, these people had come for the Tribulation Liquid.
Some wanted a peaceful trade.
But others were not so well-intentioned, their eyes bloodthirsty as they greedily licked their lips.
These people were very powerful, only half a step away from entering the Quasi-Saint Realm. To them, Lin Dong was strong, but he was still only in the King Realm.
He wouldn't be able to keep such precious Tribulation Liquid.
Boom!
But suddenly, a terrifying blood and Qi, as vast as a Dragon, turned into a beam of light that pierced through the Chaos, dominantly arriving at this place.
"So strong!"
"Is this... still the King Realm?"
"Why does it give me the illusion of facing a Quasi-Saint Great Power?"
Everyone was horrified. Before the person even arrived, his blood and Qi hit them in the face? What kind of terrifying Physical Body was this? Even a legendary True Dragon hatchling would be no more than this, right?
The Chaos Qi surged as a golden light illuminated the sky.
Lin Dong rode on Little Peng King's back, his gaze cold and his blood and Qi like an ocean, crushing the Void Realm, appearing like an invincible King descending.
Lin Dong's strength was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone; no one dared to challenge his edge.
But the temptation of the Tribulation Liquid was too great. Two experts at the Peak of the Royal Extremity Realm still made a move. With one strike, they shattered the heavens and earth, their Emperor Realm Qi soaring to the sky, making people tremble.
"Good timing!"
Lin Dong knew there were too many people with ill intentions; this battle was unavoidable.
With these two Peak Royal Extremity experts stepping out, he could kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, showing some strength to intimidate the experts from all directions and reduce future trouble.
Rumble!
Lin Dong said nothing and swept out a palm. His Physical Body was matchless, capable of sweeping through all directions.
Puff, puff, puff!
Even such powerful Royal Extremity Realm Great Powers were instantly slapped until they spat blood in the Void Realm.
Realizing they were no match, the two Peak Royal Extremity Great Powers tried to flee. Unfortunately, with a shake of the giant hand, a terrifying aura instantly shook them until both their forms and spirits were extinguished.
"Who else wants to come and seek death?"
Lin Dong's eyes looked disdainfully in all directions as his domineering and majestic voice rang out.
