Damn Dad, You Kept Me in the Dark!

Fang Zheng's sudden message quickly drew the attention of the group members.

God of Light is Unemployed: Hey, any closer and it'll explode? Let me guess—Is the Group Master big shot about to undergo tribulation again?

A Sword Immortal with Clean Sleeves: Worthy of the Great Group Leader—wherever you go, you undergo tribulation there!

I Really Don't Want to Sacrifice to Heaven: Great Group Leader, can you see it? I'm so scared...

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Don't be afraid. Everything is within my calculations. With me here, you'll naturally be safe!

Within Phantom Star Grotto-Heaven, Chen Yi's True Body calmly replied to the messages, then directed his one-star clone in the Tianshu Star Domain to begin making moves.

The reward for the mission to uproot the Wang Family was far from ideal—just over ten million points. Converted, that amounted to only a little over fifty Immortal Essence Stones, not even enough for one clone to transform into an immortal body.

In the West Sea Realm, he could at least make up for it elsewhere, but the Tianshu Star Domain was far worse.

Because this world's level was not particularly high.

The moment he arrived and came into contact with this world's laws, he had understood the Tianshu Star Domain's general level.

Its fundamental laws could only support beings equivalent to the Integration stage. Their so-called Great Emperors fused with the Heavenly Heart Seal nurtured by the Heavenly Dao, taking another step forward atop a hundred-foot pole, suppressing all the world's myriad Daos and rising above the fundamental laws to attain the Great Emperor Dao. They were equivalent to the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

It had to be said that although such Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators were invincible beneath the heavens, they relied too heavily on the Heavenly Dao. Once they left the bounds of their own world, they could not compare at all to true Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators who relied on their own strength.

Of course, none of that was important. What mattered was that he could not obtain immortal Dao essence from this world. Other than doing missions, there was nothing here capable of attracting Chen Yi!

Since he was already here, he could not possibly return after earning only that little mission points, could he?

Thus, Chen Yi immediately came up with a bold plan!

He wanted Fang Zheng to stage a collision scam against the so-called self-severed Great Emperors within the forbidden zones!

Considering that those old undead had only recently stirred up the Dark Turmoil, they were currently in a period of hiding, skulking in the forbidden zones and refusing to emerge. So now, he would force them out!

What could be more serious than an invasion by an Outer Realm Demonic God?

No matter how much they fought within the Tianshu Star Domain, it was still an internal matter.

Now that an outsider had barged in and wanted to tear off the roof, if they could still keep their heads down and cower without moving, the Heavenly Dao would never spare them!

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

The Heavenly Dao of the Tianshu Star Domain truly was furious, its thunderous roar deafening.

Chen Yi's one-star clone calmly wrestled against it, still pressing his palm downward with force.

The gigantic palm condensed in the sky slowly descended beneath the immense heavenly might, its terrifying aura making the Wang Family members vomit blood in mouthfuls!

At the same time, the dark clouds gathered by the Heavenly Dao above the Fang Family began to unleash heavenly lightning. A full eighty-one thick bolts twisted the void as they crashed mightily toward Chen Yi, displaying the Heavenly Dao's resolute will to purge the Outer Realm Demonic God.

But so what?

It was completely fucking useless.

Chen Yi would have been somewhat wary of the Heavenly Dao of a Pseudo-Immortal Realm like the West Sea Realm, but the Tianshu Star Domain's laws peaked at the strength of the Integration stage. Even if the Heavenly Dao that evolved all things stood one level above the fundamental laws, it was still only at the strength of the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

And this one-star clone of Chen Yi was a genuine Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator!

One man standing against one world was no empty claim!

All eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning struck Chen Yi without causing pain or even an itch, not dealing even one ten-thousandth of the damage of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation!

Chen Yi remained unmoved as a mountain, but Fang Zheng beside him flushed red with excitement, trembling all over as though his life had already reached its peak.

Just moments ago, the Group Master big shot had refined all eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning in an instant, condensing them into a ball of pure heavenly lightning essence and casually stuffing it into his mouth.

Crackle, snap—his tongue felt as if it were exploding. The dense essence flowed down his throat straight into the bitter sea of his Dantian, and an incomparably wonderful sensation spread throughout his entire body along his limbs and hundred meridians. He instantly climaxed!

Breaking through realms was as easy as drinking water—Fang Zheng had only ever seen it happen to his son, yet he had never imagined that one day it would happen to him as well.

Spirit Nurturing First Order, Spirit Nurturing Second Order, Spirit Nurturing Third Order...

Three hundred thousand combat power, four hundred thousand combat power, five hundred thousand combat power...

His strength kept soaring until he reached Immortal Platform First Order with one million combat power, yet eighty percent of the heavenly lightning essence stuffed into him by the Great Group Leader still remained!

Fang Zheng could no longer control himself. He still wanted to continue breaking through.

However, at that moment, a gentle force suddenly sent him flying, forcibly suppressing his unstable and violent power as he slowly drifted into the Fang Family's main hall.

When Fang Zheng regained his senses, he discovered that an exquisitely crafted round seal had appeared in his arms, while the Group Master, who had displayed such divine might, had already vanished.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

The next second.

The chat group's notification sounded in his mind.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: @I Really Don't Want to Sacrifice to Heaven, Fang Zheng, the advancement mission is complete. I'm leaving. Keep an eye out—I made some arrangements. Those self-severed old things in the forbidden zones should come looking for you soon. The Star Suppressing Seal I left you can protect your Fang Family completely. Just go provoke them. I will quell all the chaos that follows!

Fang Zheng: ...

I knew it, I knew it!

No wonder the Group Master big shot had made such a huge commotion. It was plainly for that Dark Turmoil mission worth three hundred million points!

Great Group Leader, you bastard, are you using me as a chess piece?

Fang Zheng glanced at the faintly glowing Star Suppressing Seal in his arms, then sensed the vast heavenly lightning essence within his body. The corners of his lips could not help but curl upward.

This job was not for nothing. The things the Group Master gave him were more than enough to buy his life!

A Star Suppressing Seal suspected to be a Supreme Emperor Armament, and heavenly lightning essence sufficient to support cultivation all the way to the Quasi-Emperor Realm. If nothing unexpected happened, without needing to rely on his protagonist son who caused trouble everywhere, Fang Zheng would surpass the Ancient Ancestor, lead the Fang Family to the peak of Yunzhou, and then to the peak of the Tianshu Star Domain!

Among the so-called Immortal Emperor Clans, the Fang Family should have a place!

What?

You say the Fang Family had never produced a Great Emperor?

Believe it or not, if you push me too far, I, Fang, will let you see a living Great Emperor!

As long as I cling tightly to the Group Master's thigh, even Great Emperor might not be the end!

In short, countless words converged into a single sentence:

Heh, Great Group Leader, just watch closely. The way I die will surpass your imagination!

At this moment, the Fang Family members saw the Clan Leader's grin that he simply could not suppress, and immediately crowded around him with fiery gazes.

"Clan Leader, you really weren't bullshitting? Where did you meet that Supreme Mighty Being? When did you meet him? How come we never heard you mention it..."

"I thought that person looked like a Great Emperor? The instant he appeared, my soul wouldn't stop trembling, and I instinctively wanted to submit..."

"Clan Leader, Clan Leader, that person left you a round seal. Let me touch this great treasure and share some of its luck..."

"Dad! You kept me in the dark so bitterly! Do you know how I've spent this time?! I was one step away from perishing together with the Wang Family, do you know that?!!!"

Suddenly, a vigorous shout drowned out all the others.

Fang Fan, the Fang Family's Young Clan Leader, appeared in the doorway with reddened eyes, carrying a coffin that emitted a faint aura of death over his shoulder.

No matter how much he calculated, he had never expected his unreliable old dad to be able to invite such a terrifying figure. With no way out, he had already carried this coffin suppressing a Great Emperor's evil thoughts to the Wang Family Ancestral Land, intending to use his own life to force the Wang Family to back down!

And yet...

That terrifying giant palm had suddenly descended from the sky, nearly crushing him to death just as he reached the Wang Family's entrance!

Fortunately, the owner of that giant palm bore him no ill will and even seemed to harbor inexplicable goodwill. While crushing the Wang Family, he had also conveniently sent the trembling Fang Fan back to the Fang Family.

Only at the instant he stepped through the front door did he learn that the owner of that giant palm was actually a helper invited by his old dad. The dead-end situation he had believed certain to kill him had been resolved so easily?!

Then what had all his desperate scheming these past few days, his frantic scrambling about, and his willingness to risk his life to save his dad and the Fang Family been for?

In an instant, all manner of grievances surged into his heart.

Damn Dad, you clearly had such a powerful trump card. Why didn't you tell me?

Am I still your proudest son?!

"..."

Seeing his protagonist son's furious appearance, Fang Zheng found the corners of his mouth even harder to suppress.

At the same time.

Within Phantom Star Grotto-Heaven, as Chen Yi's one-star clone returned, the chat group's notification sounded as well.
