The moment Hei Qing landed, the aura of a Peak Eight-Star Dou Zun around him did not diminish in the slightest.
The violent pressure of his Dou Qi sent Cao Ying staggering backward, nearly crashing into the corner of the stone table behind her.
Cao Yue hurriedly mobilized the Dou Qi within her body, doing her utmost to protect herself.
The fluctuations emanating from this burly man in black were simply too terrifying.
It was not an aura an ordinary Dou Zun could possess. Merely standing there, he seemed capable of tearing apart the surrounding space.
Hei Qing looked at Lu Heng and asked in confusion,
"Lu Heng, what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into that you can't handle?"
"How long has it been? You already activated the Origin Dragon Scale I left you?"
"We agreed that I owed you a favor, so I came all the way from Void Space."
As he spoke, Hei Qing walked toward Lu Heng.
Before he could finish speaking, Hei Qing suddenly froze. He exclaimed in shock,
"Wait a second!"
"Lu Heng... you... you became a Dou Zun?!"
"How long has it been? Less than two years, right?"
"The last time we met in Tianbei City in the Northern Domain of the Central Plains, you were only a Five-Star Dou Zong!"
"How did you become a Dou Zun in the blink of an eye?"
Hei Qing circled halfway around Lu Heng, as though he were looking at some kind of monster.
Then, he slapped Lu Heng on the shoulder, but Lu Heng did not budge in the slightest.
Hei Qing was utterly stunned.
"You brat, you really are a Dou Zun!"
"And your foundation is incredibly solid. Even a casual slap from me couldn't shake you."
"Is human cultivation always this ridiculous?
