Meanwhile, an alien race Universe's Strongest who had once been involved in a plot against Luo Feng headed for Qingfeng Realm in search of a stronger Supreme Treasure.

Nie Zhuhuang witnessed Lin Yan defeat his Blood-splitting Bird Beast with a new Tier 7 secret technique and judged his talent worthy of Wu Kingdom’s legacy. He revealed the Xiao Hu Jing Zhu and offered Lin Yan either a precious Memory Stone or a new test that could earn him the chance to become Nie Zhuhuang’s disciple.

• The Mechanical Puppets attacked Lin Yan together, and he drew the Xuanyuan Sword and unleashed a storm of sword light against them.

Lin Yan overcame the Mechanical Puppets’ blood-light domain with his Myriad Tribulations Secret Technique and revealed his sword technique Flowing Meteor, but the remaining Puppets fused into a Void True God-level creature. As the Nine-Headed Human-Faced Lion sealed off the surrounding space, Lin Yan unleashed Flame Burning Void and began burning his divine power with the second volume of Emperor Burn.

More than a hundred million years later, his will broke through to the Void True God level, awakening sealed memories of the “Heavenly Demon” secret technique.

• Lin Yan combined the five Basic Laws to create “Five Elements Heaven,” a peak Tier 7 Sword Skill.

On his journey back, he began studying the Rhino Emperor Games required to gain the weapon’s approval, drawing Primordial Ancestor’s curiosity.
