186: Break through the King and become the Supreme!

"Greetings, Flame King!!!"

The thunderous roars echoed through the sky, causing Quan Cheng and the dozens of God-level Domain Protecting Envoys behind him to freeze in shock.

What was going on?

Flame King?!

Were they shouting at that kid standing before the light gate?

Donggong Li's (His Excellency's) disciple?

Had he been conferred the title of King in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield?

But looking at the fanatical expressions of these youngsters on both sides, was it really just as simple as being conferred a King title?

Even Donggong Li in the distance had a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

With such a grand display, this little guy... the scene shifted.

The turbulent flows of light from the light gate gradually calmed down like tamed wild horses, leaving only a faint lingering glow.

At the center of the highest point of the long staircase, the youth stood still.

His gold-trimmed black robes shimmered with a captivating light under the faint glow; the black dragon pattern upon them seemed alive, winding and flowing vividly, making him look like a peerless emperor looking down upon all living beings.

Lin Yan didn't respond; he only curled his lips into a faint smile.

Compared to the thunderous cheers of millions of prodigies during the battles in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, this scene didn't even qualify as "small" in the saying "a small sorcerer in the presence of a great one."

It seemed like a long time, or perhaps just a split second.

When the thunderous cheers receded into the starry sky,

Only a clear meaning remained in the fanatical gazes of the prodigies on both sides.

Flame King, go first!

Lin Yan naturally knew what they meant.

However,

He didn't move.

He first glanced briefly at the blurred face of Quan Cheng and the dozens of scrutinizing God-level Domain Protecting Envoys in front of the Warship, then turned his head to look at the dark, gloomy starry sky in the distance.

Noticing his movement,

Quan Cheng, who believed he had already seen through Lin Yan's depth at a glance, gave a cold snort.

Peak Ninth-grade King Rank—this little guy indeed has some skill.

But he didn't say anything.

After all, the slight stinging sensation on his face was still very vivid.

Tens of thousands of Martial Arts Company prodigies also turned their heads at the same time.

But,

A hint of confusion soon flashed in their eyes.

What is the Flame King looking at?

In their eyes, there was nothing in that direction except for a patch of dark, gloomy starry sky.

Nothing?

It was just that someone didn't want them to see.

Or rather, they weren't qualified yet.

Donggong Li met the gaze of the youth outside the light gate, a smile appearing on his face.

Peak Ninth-grade, not bad!

As his lips moved slightly, a gentle and magnetic voice reached Lin Yan's ears.

"Little guy."

"Do whatever you want to do."

"I am here; no one dares to do anything to you."

Hearing the voice in his ear, the corners of Lin Yan's mouth curled up slightly.

That's good then.

He slowly withdrew his gaze.

Then.

Boom—!

A powerful pressure suddenly erupted from his body.

It slammed into the barrier protecting all of them.

It instantly drew the gazes of the prodigies on both sides, as well as Quan Cheng and the others.

They finally knew what Lin Yan wanted to do!

The already fanatical expressions of the prodigies on both sides became even more excited.

Becoming a Venerable!

The Flame King is going to break through the King Rank and become a Venerable!

The pupils of Quan Cheng and the others constricted, and their faces changed drastically.

They saw more than that!

This kid!

This pressure!

Fuck!

How is this possible?!

Star-Shattering level Martial Skill power!!

Are you fucking kidding me?!!

Even the White-robed Saint King Donggong Li, whose name shook the starry sky, had a hint of shock flash through his eyes.

This little guy...!

Although he had vaguely guessed the reason why Lin Yan hadn't moved earlier,

He only thought that Lin Yan had gained a lot and had just barely met the conditions to become a Venerable!

Looking at it now!

How was this "barely meeting the conditions"!

This was simply beyond common sense!

No!

The Domain Level itself was beyond common sense, but what he was doing now was completely pioneering a new path.

Immediately after,

He, Quan Cheng, and the others immediately connected this to the strange behavior of all the youngsters just now, their hearts itching with curiosity.

What exactly happened in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield?

No matter what they thought,

The youth's path of breaking the King Rank to become a Venerable had already begun.

Boom... boom boom boom... The powerful pressure continuously slammed into the surrounding barrier, causing ripples to spread.

Although the gaze of the Prodigy closest to the light gate was still fanatical, his face showed that he was struggling immensely.

He grit his teeth.

"Retreat!"

It's too strong!

Even as a Star River King, he was already unable to withstand this pressure.

That makes sense!

This is the Flame King, who beats alien Domain Kings like he's beating children!

Soon,

The prodigies on both sides kept their eyes on the figure with fluttering robes at the center of the light gate while continuously retreating down the Stairway to Heaven.

Lin Yan stood there quietly with his eyes closed, focusing all his attention on the points of light inside his body that were boiling like scalding water.

Each one contained endless energy, as if they would break through their shackles and burst forth at any moment.

Come!

Break the King Rank, become a Venerable!

He let out a low shout in his heart.

The vast spiritual energy filling the starry sky seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force, surging frantically toward Lin Yan's body like a tide.

In an instant, a massive spiritual energy vortex formed abruptly with him at the center.

Its momentum was incredibly grand, far exceeding any scene of a Martial Artist breaking through to the Venerable Rank, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Pop—!

Suddenly, a slight sound came from inside his body, like the sound of a bubble popping.

However, this was only the beginning.

Such sounds became more frequent and dense, as if countless bubbles were popping at once.

As these sounds continued to ring out,

The points of light inside Lin Yan's body could finally no longer suppress their eruption.

In an instant, all the points of light shone with a blinding white light.

Within this dazzling white light, all the points of light underwent a startling change in an instant; they actually all transformed into solid halos about the size of a thumb.

These halos circled and rotated around each other, seemingly sharing a mysterious connection and pattern.

Boom—!

Another loud boom rang out.

A monstrous pressure, countless times stronger than before, suddenly swept out from Lin Yan's body in all directions.

This pressure was like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami surging.

Venerable Rank, achieved!

"Ding!"

"Having gone through a thousand hardships and ten thousand toils."

"Congratulations to the Host for completing the second life leap, breaking the King Rank to become a Venerable."

"Adjusting base values... Adjustment complete."
