Bibi Dong's Shock: My Son Possesses the Demeanor of a God King!

"..."

Bibi Dong still couldn't help but feel curious.

Although she had blind confidence in Lin Qiu, the artistic conception of that sword strike was truly too profound; even she, as the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, felt a sense of trepidation.

Lin Qiu chewed on a grape and said vaguely, "Something like that. Anyway, I didn't really study it that seriously."

There were plenty of cultivation techniques in the system.

Things like the Dao Scripture, the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, and the Art of Pacifying Chaos.

Any one of them, if taken out, could crush the power system of this Douluo Continent into dust.

"Mom, I'm going into seclusion for a few days."

Lin Qiu swallowed the grape and said with a serious expression.

The harvest today had been too great.

Not only had he killed Dai Weisi, but he had also intimidated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The system notification sound had been ringing non-stop since just a moment ago.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the mission: Intimidate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.]

[Rewards are being calculated...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Source of All-Things Mother Qi (one wisp).]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: One Perfect Sea of Bitterness Realm Opening Card.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: The 'Secret of All' from the Nine Secrets.]

[...]

Lin Qiu's eyes lit up.

Source of All-Things Mother Qi!

This was the supreme treasure used by Heavenly Emperor Ye to forge the Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi in the Shrouding Heavens World!

Even if it was only a single wisp, placed here on the Douluo Continent, it was a divine object as heavy as a mountain, capable of crushing through the ages.

If he were to refine this thing into his martial soul...

Even if he just threw it at someone, he reckoned even a God King would end up with a concussion.

And then there was the Secret of All.

A multiplier for combat power.

In a world where there were only soul skill amplifications, this was simply a dimensional strike.

"Seclusion?"

Bibi Dong felt a bit reluctant, but she still nodded. "Alright, Mom will protect your cultivation."

"Within this Pope Palace, no one is allowed to disturb you."

"Even if that old fellow Qian Daoliu comes, I will make him get lost."

"..."

Looking at his mother's domineering demeanor, Lin Qiu felt a warmth in his heart.

Although this system was a bit of a pit, this soft rice...

It really tasted delicious.

Lin Qiu sat cross-legged and sank his consciousness into the system space.

That wisp of mysterious yellow gas was swimming slowly through the space like a small dragon.

Heavy.

Dense.

Just by looking at it, one could feel a terrifying aura capable of crushing the heavens.

"System, extract the Source of All-Things Mother Qi."

Lin Qiu chanted silently in his heart.

Inside the secret chamber, the magnificent, gold-adorned walls were shrouded by a thick layer of formation light.

Lin Qiu sat cross-legged on the bed carved from Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade.

He flipped his hand casually.

In the center of his palm appeared a wisp of mysterious yellow airflow.

This airflow was only as thick as a strand of hair; it looked unremarkable, even somewhat murky.

However, the moment this wisp of airflow appeared—

Crack—!

The incredibly hard Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade bed, which could barely be scratched even by the full-force strike of a Soul Douluo, was instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

Immediately, the entire floor of the Pope Palace began to sink slightly.

An ancient, vast, and heavy sensation, as if it could crush the heavens and myriad worlds, filled this small secret chamber.

"Source of All-Things Mother Qi."

Lin Qiu looked at the wisp of mysterious yellow energy coiling around his fingertip, his eyes burning with fervor.

In the Shrouding Heavens World, this was a holy object that even Great Emperors would covet, a supreme divine material for forging an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon.

A single wisp of Mother Qi weighed more than ten thousand jun.

If fully released, this wisp of energy would be enough to crush the entire Martial Soul City.

"System, refine it."

Lin Qiu did not hesitate in the slightest, directly pressing the wisp of Mother Qi into his chest.

Boom!

A roar like a surging river erupted from within his body.

A golden Bitter Sea manifested in his abdomen; although it was only the size of a palm, it was filled with towering waves and interwoven lightning.

The moment that wisp of Source of All-Things Mother Qi entered the Bitter Sea, it acted like a stabilizing needle, instantly suppressing all the turbulence.

Following that, it transformed into countless tiny particles, merging into Lin Qiu's limbs, bones, and internal organs.

At this moment, Lin Qiu felt his body undergoing a qualitative leap.

His bones turned pale gold, his blood became as heavy as mercury, and every heartbeat sounded like the beating of a war drum.

It was also at this time.

A cold, tyrannical power, filled with the aura of destruction, descended suddenly without warning.

It was the will of the laws from the Douluo Continent.

[Ding! Detected that the host is undergoing high-intensity physical tempering, triggering the 'Nine Trials of Destruction' mechanism.]

[This trial is the inheritance test left behind by the God of Destruction.]

The system's notification sounded in his mind.

Lin Qiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Nine Trials of Destruction?

It seemed that in the original story, there was no such thing given to the protagonist, right?

It appeared that because the commotion he caused was too great, or perhaps because the power he displayed on that plaza was too overbearing, it had attracted the gaze of the God Realm.

"Interesting."

Lin Qiu's lips curled upward, and he did not feel the slightest bit of panic. "Just right for a warm-up."

Just then, the system's voice sounded again, carrying a sense of "disdain" that only Lin Qiu could understand.

[Ding! System assessment: The energy level of this 'Nine Trials of Destruction' is low, similar to the 'One-Nine Heavenly Tribulation' of the Four Extremes Realm.]

[System suggestion: Crush it directly.]

The next second.

The space within the secret chamber distorted, and the first trial descended.

There were no flashy special effects, just pure gravitational pressure.

Gravity multiplier: one hundred times!

If it were an ordinary Soul Saint, they would likely have been crushed into meat paste instantly under such sudden hundredfold gravity.

But Lin Qiu sat there without even lifting an eyelid.

At this moment, his body had fused with the Source of All-Things Mother Qi, and the density of every cell was terrifyingly high.

This hundredfold gravity landing on him was no different from a tickle.

"Is that it?"

Lin Qiu stretched his neck, causing a series of crackling sounds.

"Too light."

He didn't even use his soul power; relying solely on his physical strength, he gave a sudden jolt.

Bang!

An explosive sound rang out in the air.

The so-called hundredfold gravity field was shattered instantly by his casual vibration.

[Ding! First trial passed.]

[Second trial beginning.]

The scene shifted.

Countless black blades emerged from the void, carrying an aura that corroded the soul, shooting toward Lin Qiu like a torrential rain.

This was a dual strike against both spirit and body.

Every single blade was sharp enough to slice through the defenses of a Soul Saint with an optimal configuration.

"Flashy but hollow."

Lin Qiu yawned, opened his mouth wide, and inhaled sharply.

Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art!

Although he had yet to reach the profound depths of this cultivation, it was more than enough to deal with such low-level energy.

Whoosh—!

A black whirlwind swept through the secret chamber.

Those blades of destruction, capable of making even a Title Douluo's scalp tingle, were drawn in like swallows returning to their nest, all swallowed into Lin Qiu's belly.

"Tastes a bit astringent."

Lin Qiu smacked his lips. "The energy purity is too low; it's not even as good as a few pounds of Source Stone."

[Ding! Second Trial passed.]

In the time that followed, these so-called "Nine Trials of Destruction" simply became Lin Qiu's personal stage.

Third Trial, Illusion.
