Third-grade Sovereign Realm, Thunder Emperor Art!

"Damn, why did it disappear so quickly!?"

Just as Zhao Chen filled a flask with Tribulation Fluid, he appeared high in the cloudless sky.

He stared blankly for a moment, then began cursing.

He had been counting on that entire pool of Tribulation Fluid to help him charge into the Ninth-grade Sovereign Realm.

And yet...

"Third-grade Sovereign Realm."

Zhao Chen's mouth twitched violently. This was far from what he had expected.

If he had reached the Ninth-grade Sovereign Realm, wouldn't he have been able to slaughter whoever he pleased across the Northern Heavens Continent?

Unfortunately, he had only reached the Third-grade Sovereign Realm.

If others learned that Zhao Chen had broken through to the Third-grade Sovereign Realm so easily, they would surely be furious.

Take the West Extreme Sovereign of the Western Extremity Hall, for example. That Third-grade Sovereign Realm expert had remained at that level for a very long time.

Breaking into the Fourth-grade Sovereign Realm was truly difficult.

"Not bad, Little Grass."

Little Nine Netherbird flew up with Luo Li and arrived before Zhao Chen, praising him, "You actually withstood such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. Oh, no—you scared even the tribulation clouds away. Amazing."

She truly admired him from the bottom of her heart.

If it had been her, she could have cried and begged for mercy, yet she still would not have been spared.

How could she possibly have been as carefree as Zhao Chen, making even the tribulation clouds fear him?

"That's right."

Luo Li nodded repeatedly. She had thought Zhao Chen was in danger.

She had never expected him to be so formidable.

According to Little Nine Netherbird, Zhao Chen had certainly surpassed the First-grade Supreme Realm after overcoming the tribulation.

She wondered what his exact cultivation level was.

She had not expected to be left so far behind so quickly.

Luo Li pressed her lips together. Her desire to catch up to Zhao Chen grew increasingly urgent.

She wondered whether her current resources alone would be enough.

"A mere Third-grade Sovereign Realm is not worth mentioning."

Zhao Chen shook his head, sounding somewhat regretful.

He took out the flask of Tribulation Fluid and smiled. "You two divide the Tribulation Fluid. I no longer need it."

This single flask of Tribulation Fluid was not enough to help him break through to a much higher realm.

However, it would be immensely useful to Luo Li.

Perhaps she could use this flask of Tribulation Fluid to quickly catch up and become a Supreme Realm expert!

"I'll just have a tiny taste."

Little Nine Netherbird was already at the Sixth-grade Supreme Realm. This Tribulation Fluid might be useful to her, but there was too little of it.

A small taste would be enough.

The important thing was for Luo Li to refine and absorb it, then break through to the Supreme Realm as soon as possible.

"It tastes pretty good."

She was somewhat surprised. The Tribulation Fluid was exceptionally sweet.

It would probably work well as a drink.

"I'll try not to waste any."

Luo Li did not refuse. She accepted the flask of Tribulation Fluid and secretly swore that she would break through to the Supreme Realm as soon as possible.

Not just for the Luo God Clan, but for herself as well.

She did not want to fall too far behind!

Without any hesitation, she immediately sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

Luo Li would not need to do much when dealing with the Dragon Demon Palace.

What came next was the time for Little Nine Netherbird and Zhao Chen to perform.

"I'll use a clone to take Little Grass to the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters."

Little Nine Netherbird immediately condensed a clone from Black Flame and had Zhao Chen ride it.

Then she continued, "Once Luo Li reaches a stopping point in her cultivation, we'll tear through space and come over."

Although Zhao Chen was only at the Third-grade Sovereign Realm and still had a gap between himself and the Black Dragon Supreme,

Nine-leaf Sword Grass was exceptionally special.

It would be extremely foolish to judge its terrifying combat strength solely by its cultivation level.

That dreadful Heavenly Tribulation could easily have struck a Fifth-grade Supreme Realm expert to death.

Even the Heavenly Tribulation could not do anything to Zhao Chen, so the Black Dragon Supreme clearly would not be able to either.

"No problem."

Zhao Chen nodded and immediately tore through space.

They had left a faint mark on the Black Dragon Supreme.

Thus, they could lock onto his exact location from afar.

After suffering a setback, he would certainly return to the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters at once and prepare to launch a full-scale attack on the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Zhao Chen knew the Dragon Demon Palace's exact strength very well.

Like the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, it had five Supreme Realm experts, including the Black Dragon Supreme.

Among them, only the Black Dragon Supreme had the highest cultivation, at the Fifth-grade Supreme Realm.

The other Supremes were merely first-grade.

Other than that, there was nothing that posed any threat to Zhao Chen.

Of course, the Black Dragon Supreme had contacted a Ninth-grade Sovereign Realm expert in advance.

Across the Northern Heavens Continent, only the Northern Sea Dragon Kun had reached the Ninth-grade Sovereign Realm.

But beyond the continent lay the Immeasurable Continent.

There was a Ninth-grade Sovereign Realm expert there known as the Immeasurable Ancestor.

The Black Dragon Supreme had long cooperated with him. Sending him a message now and joining forces to battle the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was entirely possible.

Fortunately, even Ninth-grade Sovereign Realm experts required a certain amount of time to travel through space.

That time gap was enough for Zhao Chen and the others to destroy the Dragon Demon Palace!

The Dragon Demon Palace headquarters was not above ground, but underground.

Over several centuries, they had transformed the ruins of an ancient top-tier sect into an impregnable fortress.

A colossal palace, like a coiling Black Dragon, entered Zhao Chen's field of vision.

An enormous light barrier covered it, its surface marked with ancient patterns.

"An ancient sect's protective Spirit Formation."

Zhao Chen silently appeared in a corner and observed the situation at the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters.

This protective Spirit Formation was being maintained normally.

In other words, the Black Dragon Supreme had yet to realize that danger was approaching.

Meanwhile, numerous figures flew out from the Dragon Demon Palace.

They were clearly preparing to leave the headquarters and head for the various branches across the Northern Heavens Continent.

For a Supreme-level force of this scale to launch a war drenched in blood, it would inevitably require time to mobilize.

After all, this was sudden. They had made no preparations beforehand.

"All of you, die!"

Streams of sword qi instantly scattered in every direction.

Once they had traveled some distance away from the Dragon Demon Palace, they sliced their targets into pieces on the spot.

Not a single person survived to send word of the coming war.

Although there was no way to guarantee that the Dragon Demon Palace branches throughout the Northern Heavens Continent had not already received orders from the Black Dragon Supreme,

at least it was certain that once the Dragon Demon Palace went to war with the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, they would be caught completely off guard!

"Sign in!"

Zhao Chen intended to sign in at the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters.

He was only at the Third-grade Sovereign Realm. In a one-on-one fight, he did not fear the Black Dragon Supreme.

But this was the enemy's headquarters.

Besides the Black Dragon Supreme, there were four other Supreme Realm experts, including the Yellow Dragon Sovereign.

If they joined forces, he would still face some pressure.

Furthermore, there was an Ancient Spiritual Array here.

If they could not win, they could simply hide inside it.

Unless Zhao Chen studied the Ancient Spiritual Array in advance and mastered it, he would not be able to catch turtles in a jar!

[ Ding! Signing in. Sign-in location—Dragon Demon Palace headquarters. Sign-in successful!]

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. Sign-in successful. You have received the sign-in reward—Thunder Emperor Art!]

Thunder Emperor Art!

Zhao Chen froze. He had actually obtained another one of the Ten Vicious Arts!

Moreover, among the Ten Vicious Arts, the Thunder Emperor Art was undoubtedly one with tremendous power.

It was especially unparalleled when it came to using pure yang to suppress evil!

Once he used the Thunder Emperor Art, he would become the incarnation of Heavenly Tribulation walking the mortal world!

Without question, that was extremely terrifying in the Great Thousand World.

No one would dare disregard the existence of Heavenly Tribulation!

By now, he had obtained three of the Ten Vicious Arts!

At this rate, it would not be long before he gathered all ten!

Any one of the Ten Vicious Arts, once cultivated to its peak, could render its user invincible in the world!

Zhao Chen looked toward the Dragon Demon Palace headquarters, the corners of his lips rising slightly.

"Heh, this is the perfect chance to test it out on you..."
