200: Kingdom of Heavenly Demon

“First, I’ll test my combat strength in the virtual world.”

Subsequently, Lin Chen connected a wisp of his true spirit power to the virtual world. In his private space, he set a First Tribulation Quasi-Emperor level opponent.

After being boosted by the God-Devil Battle Art, Lin Chen easily defeated the opponent with his 800 million Dragon Elephant combat strength!

Immediately after, he set the opponent to a Third Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, and again, easily suppressed them.

It wasn't until a Fourth Tribulation Quasi-Emperor that Lin Chen's pupils suddenly constricted.

Too strong!

He could barely fight them, and after dozens of rounds, he was defeated... In the Quasi-Emperor Realm, strength skyrockets with each Heavenly Dao tribulation passed.

And every three tribulations is a huge watershed.

“It seems that Half-Step Limit-Breaking Physical Technique cannot support me in crossing this huge watershed.”

The true spirit power in the Quasi-Emperor Realm also has three major bottlenecks!

Lin Chen's current true spirit power is at the First Tribulation Quasi-Emperor level.

If he didn't rely on the system's abilities and instead relied on his own cultivation, he could reach the Third Tribulation Quasi-Emperor level given some time.

But to break through to the Fourth Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, his true spirit would need to undergo a transformation.

Each bottleneck can block countless beings!

Therefore, in the Endless Realm,

most Quasi-Emperors are only within the first three tribulations.

“I wonder what tribulation level Mo Qianyou of the Asura Clan is at.”

Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

“Soon, it won’t be long before I come for you all!”

After exiting the virtual world, Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Name: Lin Chen

Realm: Dao Realm Ninth Level + (Promotion upon comprehending 1% rule power)

true spirit: First Tribulation Quasi-Emperor + (Consume 5 million energy points for promotion)

Golden Body: Saint-tier Eighth Forging + (Consume 30 million energy points for promotion)

(Physical body comparable to a mid-tier Saint Artifact, capable of fighting a First Tribulation Quasi-Emperor)

Physical Strength: 8 million Dragon Elephant

Source Great Dao: Chaos (Perfect) Time (Perfect)... Great Dao Combat Skill: Chaos Creation Palm (Limit-Breaking)

Great Dao Combat Skill Deduction: Initial cost 30,000 energy points, each additional Great Dao increases cost by 30,000 energy points.

Physical Technique: God-Devil Battle Art (Half-Step Limit-Breaking)

... energy points: 985,000 P

During the ninth physical transformation, the energy points in the True Dragon remains were insufficient, so Lin Chen supplemented the consumption with energy points.

He didn't expect to consume over 400,000 energy points in one go... However, he was very content. This trip to Ba Sect saved him a massive amount of energy points.

“The Multiverse War is imminent, so the martial arts realm can only be put aside for now.”

“Moreover, if I want to walk the strongest path, I must continue to comprehend other Great Daos!”

Both the middle and lower tiers cannot be neglected!

By then, when a thousand perfect Great Daos condense into an Emperor Seal, the boost will surely be terrifying!

“However, everything has an upper limit. I just don't know if there's a limit to the Emperor Seal's boost.”

Lin Chen immediately found himself in a dilemma.

“That's right! I can ask Old Lei about it then.”

The stronger Lin Chen became, the more he felt Old Lei's unfathomable depth.

“For now, I'll go deal with those few clans!”

Subsequently, Lin Chen entered a dream-traveling state... In the Celestial God Clan's ancestral land, within a floating grand hall.

At this moment, the Celestial God Clan's high-ranking members were all gathered.

“Shen Jun, what have you decided?”

“Are you willing to join us?”

A green-faced, fanged old man stood in the center of the hall, speaking with a chuckle.

This person was none other than the Asura Clan's First Ancestor — Mo Jiuyou!

Beside Mo Jiuyou, there was also a tall figure, whose presence was extremely eerie.

He had a human's head and a bird's body, and was a Human-faced Bird!

Wafts of terrifying Emperor Realm pressure emanated from his body... Seated on the main seat was a middle-aged man in a silver robe, with sharp brows and starry eyes, whose aura was equally terrifying.

This person was the Celestial God Clan's First Ancestor — Shen Jun.

Shen Jun's eyes were slightly closed at this moment. With one finger, he slowly and rhythmically tapped the armrest of his throne, as if deep in thought.

Seeing that Shen Jun did not reply, Mo Qianyou spoke again:

“Shen Jun, you've also seen it. In the current Hong Country, Yu Wanxing acts autocratically.”

“My Asura Clan, tens of millions of years ago, helped him establish Hong Country. We have always been loyal and fought on the front lines.”

“Yet, what happened? This Yu Wanxing, to protect a human boy, completely disregards the lives of my Asura Clan members!”

“This human boy is utterly detestable. Can you tolerate the matter of Mount Shenlu?”

At this moment, Shen Jun's eyes suddenly opened. Five-colored whirlpools swirled within his pupils, and a hint of killing intent spread from his body.

He glanced at Mo Qianyou and the terrifying Human-faced Bird, then swept his gaze over the assembled high-ranking members of his Celestial God Clan, sighing faintly, and said:

“Mo Qianyou, the roots of my Celestial God Clan are here; we cannot afford to gamble...”

Caw caw caw caw ~

“The Celestial God Clan is so timid, nothing more than that...”

Suddenly, the terrifying Human-faced Bird laughed eerily, his voice echoing throughout the entire hall, imbued with terrifying demonic power, which caused many low-level Celestial God Clan members to turn pale.

Shen Jun frowned, a wisp of true spirit swept out, suppressing the terrifying demonic sound.

“Mo Qianyou, are you certain the Human-faced Bird Clan can contend with Yu Wanxing?”

“And... Emperor Hong?”

When Emperor Hong was mentioned, Mo Qianyou's pupils suddenly constricted, then returned to normal after a moment.

His eyes were crimson, and he said:

“Emperor Hong? A dying man, what is there to fear!”

“The Human-faced Bird Clan has three Emperor Realm Experts! And more than a dozen Quasi-Emperors.”

“Adding my Asura Clan and your Celestial God Clan, by then, we two clans will divide the entire Hong Country!”

“The Human-faced Bird Clan doesn't need Hong Country's territory; they are only interested in flesh and blood!”

“Of course, because the Human-faced Bird Clan is mostly focused on dealing with the Pure-Blooded Human Race in Lingxiao World, at most two Emperor Realm Experts will come.”

“At that time, our two clans will dismantle the entire Hong Country from within, and Hong Country is doomed to fall!”

At this point, Mo Qianyou's voice had become exceptionally excited.

He then took out a fingernail-sized crystal from his Inner World. This crystal emitted a faint golden glow.

“Shen Jun, do you recognize this item?”

Mo Qianyou held up the crystal, speaking slowly.

“This is... an Emperor... Emperor Seal!”

Looking at this crystal, Shen Jun's breathing hitched, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

The dozen or so high-ranking Celestial God Clan members in the hall all showed expressions of disbelief at this moment.

An Emperor Seal!

This was something that could lead to an instant ascent to greatness!

The Emperor Realm was too appealing to those who had toiled for countless years in the Half-Step Emperor Realm and Quasi-Emperor Realm!

“Mo Qianyou, what is the meaning of this?”

Shen Jun suppressed his greed and asked calmly.

Mo Qianyou burst into laughter at this, then actually tossed the Emperor Seal towards Shen Jun.

“Now, will you join us?”

... At this moment, Lin Chen had already arrived in the Blood Realm via dream-traveling.

This was where the Blood Clan resided, and it was also a medium-sized world!

However, just as Lin Chen teleported to the Blood Clan's ancestral land through the realm gate, he discovered that the Blood Clan members here were all gone...

Not only that.

Through his true spirit's investigation, Lin Chen also found that the Blood Clan's ancestral land seemed to have been occupied by other clans.

“What's going on? Where is the Blood Clan?”

“The Blood Clan's strength is comparable to the Spirit Clan's, and those occupying this place are all minor clans...”

Subsequently, Lin Chen investigated with a puzzled expression.

He eventually learned that the Blood Clan had left Hong Country!

This incident had happened within the last month... “Did they escape?”

Lin Chen suddenly understood. His previous actions of annihilating the Black Dragon Clan and the Spirit Clan could not be kept secret.

“The Blood Clan must have inferred something, which is why they acted so decisively.”

Lin Chen sneered inwardly.

“Can they escape?”

After another investigation,

Lin Chen learned that not only the Blood Clan had left Hong Country.

The Witch Clan, Nether Spirit Clan, and Three-Eyed Clan had also left Hong Country together!

They had all gone to the Heavenly Demon Kingdom!

After learning all this, Lin Chen's heart tightened.

This Heavenly Demon Kingdom was a country far surpassing Hong Country.

The Heavenly Demon Kingdom governed 10 Great Worlds!

And the Great World where the Human-faced Bird Clan resided also belonged to the Heavenly Demon Kingdom...
