528: Action Begins

Xiao Lingchen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

How did Zhou Zhiyue get along so well with them?

Upon discovering that Xiao Lingchen had returned.

Their gazes turned to Xiao Lingchen, and they couldn't help but curiously ask:

"You're back?"

"In the three days you were gone, someone in a mountain far away from the Dao Alliance underwent Undergoing Tribulation seven times in a row."

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

Xiao Lingchen did not hide anything from them.

He replied:

"Yes."

Ning Huanhuan said:

"Was it done by your Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring?"

Apparently.

During the time the women had been together.

Hua Ni skirts had also told them what Xiao Lingchen had previously said about the Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring.

Xiao Lingchen also nodded and said:

"That is correct."

"This experiment successfully underwent Undergoing Tribulation seven times, allowing the test subject, Xu Kun, to break through from the Crossing Tribulation Second Level to the Crossing Tribulation Ninth Level!"

"However, this experiment exhausted the lightning energy in this region, making it impossible to summon heavenly lightning for Undergoing Tribulation again."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to break through the Crossing Tribulation Ninth Level and ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

All the women were stunned on the spot.

Each of them was dumbfounded, their mouths hanging wide open in surprise.

It made Xiao Lingchen can't help but want to stuff something into them.

After a long while.

The women finally came back to their senses.

Zhou Zhiyue stammered:

"Are you saying... you let that Xu Kun break through from the Crossing Tribulation Second Level to the Crossing Tribulation Ninth Level?"

"Re... really?"

Xiao Lingchen nodded noncommittally and said:

"Naturally, it is true."

For a moment, the women were stunned again.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

As everyone knows, Undergoing Tribulation is extremely difficult.

For any Cultivator, every time they undergo Undergoing Tribulation, it is a Life and Death ordeal!

Even a Cultivator who is well-prepared might lose half their life after undergoing one tribulation!

And those Cultivators who are not prepared might simply perish within the Lightning Tribulation.

Of course.

Although Hua Ni skirts had experienced breaking through directly from the Guiyi Realm to the Crossing Tribulation Eighth Level.

That was on the condition that she had absorbed the cultivation of her Revered Master, Hall Master Hua Lingxiang, and the entire Hehuan Hall.

Only then did she have the strength to resist the Lightning Tribulation.

But like Xiao Lingchen, who could undergo seven tribulations in a row without needing any strength.

Such a thing, for anyone, could be called a fantasy!

Xiao Lingchen continued:

"Ni Chang, Jiu Heng, you two should prepare first."

"In a few days, the Dao Alliance will set out for the Eternal Calamity Valley."

"At that time, we will act together, and if we find a place rich in lightning energy, I will help you break through!"

Hua Ni skirts and Qu Jiuheng nodded.

In their hearts, they began to look forward to the time of Undergoing Tribulation and breaking through!

At night.

Xiao Lingchen sat alone on the bed in his room.

The Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring hovered in front of him.

At this moment, the Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring was no longer what it was before.

The aura of thunder upon it was far, far stronger than before!

The reason Xiao Lingchen was impatient to take Hua Ni skirts and Qu Jiuheng to undergo Undergoing Tribulation.

Was not just because Undergoing Tribulation could allow them to break through their Realms.

More importantly.

His Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring could also continuously absorb heavenly lightning and grow stronger!

Previously, he helped Xu Kun undergo Undergoing Tribulation seven times in a row.

His Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring had also absorbed heavenly lightning seven times.

It had already improved from the original twenty-eight Restrictions to thirty-four Restrictions.

It directly surpassed his upgraded Zhan Tian Sword.

It became the Spiritual Artifact with the highest grade currently in Xiao Lingchen's possession!

And as everyone knows.

Before twenty-three Restrictions, it is an Acquired Spirit Treasure, and after twenty-four Restrictions, it is an Innate Spirit Treasure.

And once an Innate Spirit Treasure reaches thirty-six Restrictions.

Its quality will undergo another transformation.

Surpassing the grade of an Innate Spirit Treasure!

At that time.

The Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring in his hand would no longer be a Spirit Treasure, but would fall into the category of an Immortal Artifact!

And its power, naturally, could not be mentioned in the same breath as an Innate Spirit Treasure.

Xiao Lingchen did not know exactly how strong it would be.

But he believed that it would definitely far exceed his expectations and give him a surprise!

That was why Xiao Lingchen was so impatient to take Hua Ni skirts and Qu Jiuheng to undergo Undergoing Tribulation and break through.

Not only to improve their Realms.

But also to improve the grade of the Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring!

And improve his own strength!

In the following few days.

Everyone was making preparations before the operation.

And Xiao Lingchen originally also wanted to prepare.

At the very least, he wanted to Cultivate a bit, to improve his cultivation as much as he could.

However.

His several Dao Companions did not give him any chance to rest at all.

That very night.

Ning Huanhuan brought Qu Jiuheng, Hua Ni skirts, and Zhou Zhiyue, the four of them, and snuck into Xiao Lingchen's room.

Without giving Xiao Lingchen any chance to react.

The Four Women suppressed him.

The four of them, each of their strengths was stronger than Xiao Lingchen's.

They pinned Xiao Lingchen down, making it almost impossible for him to struggle.

So, for the next few days.

Xiao Lingchen was busy dealing with the Four Women and could not Cultivate at all!

Fortunately.

Dealing with the Four Women was in itself a form of Cultivation.

Xiao Lingchen could be considered to be enjoying it.

And during these few days.

A major event also occurred within the Dao Alliance.

That was the Dao Alliance's high-level officials rooting out several spies hidden within the Dao Alliance.

As for how they were discovered.

It was through the sword boxes that were distributed to everyone's hands a few days ago.

The cunning Autumn Sky Cliff had actually placed listening talismans inside those sword boxes!

Qiu Tianya could truly be called an old fox!

Ever since the matter of them preparing to throw the special sword into the Eternal Calamity Valley was exposed.

They began to suspect that there were Demon Race spies lurking within the Dao Alliance.

So they deliberately spread false operation plans and distributed sword boxes that "contained the special sword" to everyone's hands.

In reality, they had hidden listening talismans inside the sword boxes!

To root out the spies hidden within the Dao Alliance.

Coupled with the Xia Ji they had met years ago, they had him perform the Soul Searching Technique.

Not only did they root out more spies, but they also learned quite a bit of information from the Demon Race's side.

Allowing the Dao Alliance to gain quite a bit of initiative.

A few days later.

The time for the operation had finally arrived.

In the Dao Alliance's drill ground.

The black iron battle flags were coiled like a Dragon and crouched like a tiger.

The five vanguard commanders, twelve Demon Suppression Envoys, one hundred and eight lieutenants, seventy-two thousand-man commanders, and thirty-six staff officers...

And many other powerhouses were gathered in the drill ground at this moment.

Shao Changxi, Master of Lotus Tower, and Qiu Tianya, along with other high-level officials, stood on the high platform in front.

Shao Changxi, Master of Lotus Tower, spoke:

"Everyone, there are five days left until the Eternal Calamity Valley opens."

"We need everyone to throw the sword boxes in your hands into the Eternal Calamity Valley!"

"If we can successfully throw the special sword into the Eternal Calamity Valley, we can completely shatter the Demon Race's plan to release the Ancient Demon Emperor!"

"This operation is extremely dangerous, and the Demon Race will surely do their utmost to stop us."

"Perhaps some will fall here, and some will leave forever, but who in life has never faced death?"

"Some deaths are lighter than a feather, while others are heavier than Mount Tai!"

"I believe that even if someone sacrifices themselves in this operation, their name will become an inextinguishable spark, guiding the direction for every descendant to move forward!"

"Their blood will also turn into stars in the sky, protecting this world for thousands of generations!"

"To be remembered by the world!"

"Everyone, listen to my orders, set out with me!"
