Hou Yi quickly disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind Chang'e in the next second, then embraced Chang'e in his arms.
"Puff!"
Chang'e immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"You little brat, you actually dared to launch a sneak attack, you..."
Hou Yi could finish speaking, his previously murderous gaze suddenly changed, and he stared at Qin Hao in shock.
A massive vortex of spiritual energy instantly gathered above Qin Hao's head, while thunderclouds rolled across the sky.
"This is impossible! You're about to break through again?"
The Empress also looked at Qin Hao with an incredulous expression and said...
Qin Hao turned to look at the Empress and said, "What's impossible about that? If I wanted to, I could advance to the Martial Emperor 100th Tier in a single day. Do you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately snapped out of her daze and said with a shy blush, "Hmph! Shameless! And you love to brag!"
After saying that, she blushed and turned away.
At this moment, Hou Yi and Chang'e, who were a mile away, saw this and angrily said, "Hmph! Qin Hao, so what if you've broken through to the Martial Emperor Tier 3? Today, you, and this Jade Pool Holy Land, will all be finished!"
As he spoke, he took out a healing pill and gave it to Chang'e to swallow.
Qin Hao, without even glancing at Hou Yi and Chang'e, turned to the Empress and said, "Hey, my wife, you still don't believe me? How about we make a bet?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately turned around and said, "Hmph! Fine, let's make a bet. If you lose, you'll join my Jade Pool Holy Land and obey me without question. How about it?"
Qin Hao felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this.
'Heh heh, it seems the Empress really is interested in me. She didn't actually say she'd kill me?'
"Ahem, alright, but if I really manage to break through to the Martial Emperor 100th Tier in a single day, then you'll be my wife, how about it?"
'Hmph! You scoundrel, I don't believe you can do that. That's Martial Emperor 100th Tier! Even the Jade Emperor is only Martial Emperor 50th Tier! You?!'
"Okay, if you really manage to do it, I'll..."
"What do you mean?"
Qin Hao asked with a malicious smile.
"I am, I am your wife!"
The Empress blushed again as she spoke and turned away.
'Damn, why is my heart racing?'
Upon receiving this answer, Qin Hao immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and began practicing his Breathing Technique.
This Breathing Technique, if practiced for one second, is equivalent to the effect of Qin Hao's ordinary 10 years of cultivation. As a result, the spiritual energy vortex above his head instantly grew larger again.
Moreover, this vortex of spiritual energy is still expanding.
Hou Yi and Chang'e had recovered from their injuries and were preparing to fight Qin Hao and the Empress to avenge themselves.
But upon seeing this scene, he froze on the spot.
That's not all. Just five seconds later, the spiritual energy above Qin Hao's head had become enormous, so much so that a massive vortex of spiritual energy could be seen forming on the Primordial Continent throughout the entire Kaiyuan Universe.
In an instant, all the powerful figures from various forces, including the Jade Emperor of the Lingxiao Hall, Taishang Laojun of the Tusita Palace, Tathagata of Vulture Peak, witnessed it.
So they all rushed towards the Jade Pool Holy Land.
The Empress, Hou Yi, and Chang'e stood there, their eyes wide and round, completely stunned.
Qin Hao, on the other hand, quietly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and was completely focused on his cultivation.
One minute later, a terrifying Thunder Tribulation descended from the sky.
The Empress, Hou Yi, and Chang'e were forced to stay 10 miles away from Qin Hao.
"Boom!"
A series of deafening thunderclaps echoed throughout the entire Primordial Continent.
At this moment, all the gods, demons, monsters, and monsters on the Primordial Continent were attracted by Qin Hao's movements.
They all rushed towards Qin Hao.
About 10 minutes later, before Qin Hao had even finished undergoing his Thunder Tribulation, the Thunder Tribulation in the sky suddenly changed, becoming even more terrifying.
In an instant, terrifying thunderclouds filled the area within a hundred miles above Qin Hao's head, and a terrifying vortex of spiritual energy stretched across a radius of hundreds of thousands of light-years.
Of course, all this spiritual energy eventually rushed towards Qin Hao below.
"This can't be! This can't be real! This must be a dream!"
Hou Yi muttered to himself with an incredulous expression.
The Empress, without even realizing it, covered her mouth with her jade hand.
But his mouth was open so wide that he didn't even realize his fingers were inside.
At this moment, the Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and other great figures all arrived and watched from a distance of 10 miles from Qin Hao.
"This kid is terrifyingly powerful. Even when the Queen Mother of the West broke through to the Martial Emperor 100th Tier, she didn't possess such might."
The Jade Emperor exclaimed in surprise.
He was so shocked that he couldn't help but blurt it out.
Among those present, only Taishang Laojun remained relatively calm, merely squinting at Qin Hao, lost in thought.
A full hour later, the vortex of spiritual energy above Qin Hao's head still existed, and the terrifying lightning continued to change, now turning into dark red lightning.
This dark red lightning is the Heavenly Punishment Purple Thunder, sent down by the heavens specifically to slay those who defy the heavens.
Even the Jade Emperor, Jade Emperor at Martial Emperor 50th Tier, might not be able to withstand the power of a single bolt of lightning.
However, Qin Hao remained expressionless and very quiet, completely focused on cultivating his Breathing Technique, Qi Refining, and then guiding it to temper his entire body's flesh and meridians.
This is the first realm of Qin Hao's Twelve Palaces Cultivation System: the Body Tempering Realm.
Body Tempering Realm Perfection is equivalent to the ninth level of Martial Emperor.
From the start of his cultivation until now, only one hour has passed, and Qin Hao has already reached the Body Tempering Realm Perfection.
At this moment, he is trying to open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
"How strange indeed! Even if this kid had broken through, he should have already undergone eighty-one Thunder Tribulations by now, so why is he still Tribulation Transcendence?"
"Yes! Not only is this Thunder Tribulation the strongest Heavenly Punishment Purple Thunder, but the spiritual energy vortex above his head is still frantically absorbing spiritual energy from the universe and then nourishing him!"
All the powerful figures on the Primordial Continent were extremely shocked and puzzled at this moment.
After cultivating for another four hours, Qin Hao finally opened his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and reached the Qi Drawing Realm Perfection.
At this moment, the Thunder Tribulation in the sky suddenly changed, transforming into a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, surging towards Qin Hao.
"Drink! Kill them all!"
In an instant, chilling sounds echoed from within the Thunder Tribulation.
This left the Jade Emperor, Tathagata, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, who were watching the spectacle from the sidelines, completely dumbfounded.
"Damn, this kid's Thunder Tribulation lasted a full four hours, and the spiritual energy infusion hasn't ended yet. What's going on? Is he really going to advance to the Martial Emperor 100th Tier in one fell swoop?"
At this moment, Hou Yi suddenly exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures turned their gazes toward Hou Yi and Chang'e.
