"The first few rounds of tempering didn't raise my strength by much..."
Mu Qing used the Heaven-Deceiving Art again, returning his cultivation realm to the initial stage of peak Divine Emperor.
Feeling the power coursing through his body, he drew a deep breath.
The increase in strength was not all that great. Perhaps the later rounds of tempering would bring more significant improvements!
"I wonder which round of tempering my ultimate bottleneck lies at?" Mu Qing was rather curious.
From Mei Sanniang and Little Fatty, he had learned that tempering Dao laws through lightning tribulations came with an ultimate bottleneck.
Everyone's limit was different. Some people's limit was a single tempering, meaning that no matter how many resources they spent, they could never undergo a second tempering.
For instance, Little Fatty's limit was five rounds of tempering. If he wanted to break through, he could only rely on vast amounts of energy to continuously scour his Dao laws and forcibly undergo a sixth tempering!
The road ahead would only grow harder and harder!
Anyone else would have given up long ago. After all, advancing to Great Emperor after five rounds of tempering already gave one formidable strength, far surpassing ordinary Great Emperors of the same realm by an unknown margin!
But Little Fatty's ambitions soared higher than the heavens. He believed that with the Bagua Mirror's special ability, he could find enough heavenly treasures to forcibly shove himself through ten rounds of tempering.
"Let's go! Keep looting heavenly treasures!"
Seeing that Mu Qing had successfully broken through, Little Fatty hurried over, his face full of excitement. He was already prepared.
He admired Mu Qing's methods so much that he was utterly convinced.
That had been a high-level lower Great Emperor!
Yet Mu Qing had stolen from right under its nose.
