136: The physical body breaks through again!
Lingxiao World is a medium-sized world, and a medium-sized world is incredibly vast, encompassing millions of small worlds!
The Azure Cang Realm, where Lin Chen resides, is merely a Mortal Realm belonging to the Red Water World, which is within the scope of Lingxiao World.
The Red Water World is a small world, and within its scope, there are millions of Mortal Realms like the Azure Cang Realm... Yet, the entire Lingxiao World is controlled by three powerful races: the Black Dragon Clan, the Blood Phoenix Clan, and the Sky Dog Clan.
These three great races have each established a Holy Land in Lingxiao World, attracting powerful individuals from countless worlds to join them.
Within the Black Dragon Clan's Holy Land, there is a magnificent hall, which is the core of the Black Dragon Clan.
At this moment, hundreds of terrifyingly powerful individuals gathered in the hall, all of them in the Venerable Realm!
At the head of the hall sat a man draped in a black-gold dragon robe. His eyes were deep, and the aura subtly emanating from him twisted the very fabric of space!
At this point, the man spoke.
"Elder Xie, have you confirmed if Lin Chen on the Mortal Realm Ranking is the same person who killed our clan's Venerable?"
This Elder Xie belonged to the Demonic Scorpion Clan, having long ago pledged allegiance to the Black Dragon Clan, and grew to the Venerable Realm.
"Clan Leader, it has been confirmed. It is that humanKid."
As Elder Xie uttered these words, the entire hall immediately erupted in discussion.
"Mortal Realm Ranking Fifth! How is that possible!"
"News from the Azure Cang Realm branch earlier said that this human possessed a supreme treasure, which is why his strength improved so rapidly."
"What should we do? Mortal Realm Ranking Fifth means he will be conferred a baron, and our Black Dragon Clan wouldn't dare openly confront him."
"What's there to fear? I'll go personally. As long as I'm not discovered, it's fine. Even if I am, we can pay some price then."
"Yes, if this humanKid truly has a supreme treasure, then it's worth it."
The Black Dragon Clan Leader, whose name was Long Jingtian, frowned slightly as he listened to the discussions of the elders below. He then gently tapped the dragon throne.
A terrifying pressure swept through, instantly silencing the hall.
"Regardless of whether he has a supreme treasure or not, our Black Dragon Clan's Venerable cannot die in vain."
"Furthermore, this human has already made an enemy of our clan; he must be eliminated!"
"Elder Xie, are there any Source Beginning Realm members from the Azure Cang Realm branch currently?"
Elder Xie immediately replied respectfully:
"Clan Leader, there are currently 8 Source Beginning Realm members from this branch, 5 in the mid-stage and 3 in the late-stage."
Long Jingtian's expression remained calm upon hearing this. He slightly raised his hand, and two glowing objects flew out.
"Elder Xie, you should go personally and bring those Source Beginning Realm members with you."
"These are two Ninth-Grade Spirit Burst Pills, which can temporarily allow a late-stage Source Beginning Realm cultivator to break through to the Venerable Realm."
"Remember, be clean about your work this time. Go."
With that, Long Jingtian slowly waved his hand.
"As you command!"
After Elder Xie respectfully saluted, he turned and quickly departed... At this moment, Lin Chen was still unaware that danger was slowly approaching.
It had been almost a day since he redeemed his reward, and just a few minutes ago, a message came through his communicator.
The items have arrived!
Lin Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly rushed to the delivery location.
This time, the address Lin Chen filled in was still the area where Super Base No. 1 was located.
At this moment, Lin Chen was suspended ten thousand meters in the air.
Suddenly, the space in front of him twisted.
A crack was torn open in the World Membrane, and a spatial ring slowly flew in.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, grabbed the ring, and the World Membrane slowly closed.
Buzz—
Lin Chen directly put the spatial ring into his Inner World, and then took out all the items from the ring.
Immediately, countless source crystals appeared, piling up into a mountain in front of him.
Besides the source crystals, there was also a black medal, six boxes containing Heaven And Earth Treasure, and a spherical object with a diameter of ten thousand meters.
The material of the medal was something Lin Chen had never seen before; it was engraved with the flag pattern of Hong Country and an exquisite sword, which was precisely the baron's medal of Hong Country!
As for the giant sphere, it was the World Defense System Lin Chen purchased, a system worth 160 billion source crystals!
"First, set up this defense system."
With a thought, Lin Chen gently waved his hand, tearing a man-wide crack in the World Membrane of the Azure Cang Realm.
He then quickly arrived outside the Azure Cang Realm and took out the spherical object from his Inner World.
"Xiao Zi, I'm leaving it to you."
Immediately, Xiao Zi's figure flew out from the smart crystal.
Xiao Zi's intelligence level was extremely high, and he set up the World Defense System in just over ten minutes.
Lin Chen had the highest authority in this system, and he set Bai Hong and Old Li as the second-highest authority.
The World Defense System could monitor everything within one light-year of the Azure Cang Realm and could also deploy a protective barrier that could withstand ten hours of attacks from a Venerable Realm expert.
At this moment, Lin Chen felt much more at ease.
Next, he could break through without any worries; if an external enemy approached, he would know immediately.
Lin Chen then returned to the Azure Cang Realm, found an open area, and began his breakthrough.
Now, the entire Azure Cang Realm was under the control of the Blue Star Human Race, and no other races would disturb his breakthrough... "First, absorb the source crystals!"
This time, Lin Chen obtained a total of 98.7 billion source crystals. He spent 16 billion source crystals on the World Defense System, and after deducting handling fees and travel expenses, he had 98.25 billion source crystals remaining.
System devour and absorb!
Boom—
A torrent of energy surged within Lin Chen's Inner World!
The entire absorption process lasted for nearly an hour.
energy points: 98.25 billion crystals.
Next were the Heaven And Earth Treasure. Lin Chen exchanged for 5 Eighth-Grade Chaos Spiritual Fruits, and also a section of the Chaos Green Lotus root.
Lin Chen picked up the 5 Chaos Spiritual Fruits and ate them in a few bites.
Boom—
A terrifying current of Chaos Qi instantly enveloped Lin Chen.
At this moment, Lin Chen entered a state of enlightenment, and his comprehension of the Chaos Law rapidly increased!
0.013%... 0.015%... 0.019%... Finally, Lin Chen's comprehension of the Chaos Law reached 0.021%, which was equivalent to consuming 1 billion energy points.
Lin Chen found that the effect of the Chaos Spiritual Fruit significantly weakened later on, but he had already anticipated this. He then picked up the section of the Chaos Green Lotus root.
This section of root exuded a rich Chaos aura, and Lin Chen likewise swallowed it in a few bites.
Rumble—
A domineering current of Chaos Qi emerged from within Lin Chen's body, instantly spreading throughout his entire being. This Chaos Qi began to madly transform Lin Chen's physique.
Extreme pain ensued as his Physical Strength continuously destroyed and reorganized itself at the cellular level!
Fortunately, Lin Chen's mind was strong, and he endured it.
Three hours later, a world-destroying aura erupted from Lin Chen's Physical Strength, and its terrifying pressure spread for millions of kilometers!
Feeling the changes in his Physical Strength, Lin Chen was excited.
So strong!
He then looked at the system panel.
Golden Body: Nineteenth Forging + (Can be upgraded by consuming 100 billion crystals.) (Explanation: Physical Strength is comparable to a high-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure; Physical Strength can contend with a Half-Step Venerable!)
