With this Emperor Pill, whether it's me or the Chu family, we can produce a peerless Martial Emperor. When that time comes, all karma can be severed with a single sword strike! Long Yuan glanced at the system panel: 【Race】: Mystic Ice Crystal Serpent 【Cultivation Realm】: Late-stage Sixth-Tier Demon Emperor 【Physical Cultivation】: Late-stage Fifth-Tier Demon King 【Mission Reward】: Bloodline Reversion once, Saint-grade superior technique "Star Body Refining Art", Saint-grade superior defensive formation "Sun Moon Star Formation" 【Guardian Family Level】: Four Stars (Host cultivation speed increased by 40x!) Now that the Chu family had reached four-star status, Long Yuan's cultivation speed had increased to 40 times normal! "Reaching Seventh-Tier Demon Venerable isn't far off!" With nothing else to do, Long Yuan began cultivating. Although the system occasionally provided cultivation-boosting rewards, he couldn't afford to waste time idly! Just as Chu Hongtu and others left the Dragon Emperor Palace, Chu Jingyue and several elders were already waiting outside. "Clan leader, have you broken through to Fourth-Tier Martial Sect?" Chu Hongtu and the others stared in amazement at their leader hovering mid-air. "Indeed, I just broke through!" Chu Jingyue said with a smile, drawing envious looks from everyone. This scene was witnessed by many in Qingyang Town, serving as clear proof to all that the Chu family truly had a Fourth-Tier Martial Sect expert guarding them! "How were the gains?" Other elders asked as they approached the group. "Hahaha! The opportunities bestowed by the Beast God are beyond your wildest imagination!" Chu Hongtu stroked his beard, face glowing red as if dead wood had encountered spring! "Of course! For all four elders to reach Third-Tier Martial Master perfection—how could such an opportunity be small?" Chu Jingyue said as he landed. "What? All four reached Third-Tier Martial Master perfection?" The other four elders' eyes nearly bulged out— they'd been in the Dragon Emperor Palace less than a month! "Hahaha! What are realms compared to this?" "The greatest opportunity wasn't the realm advancement!" Chu Hongxiao grinned while stroking his mustache, making the other four elders who missed out feel utterly miserable. "Enough, stop tormenting them!" Chu Jingyue intervened. "Since you've all reached Third-Tier Martial Master perfection, focus on cultivation to break through to Fourth-Tier Martial Sect!" "This realm is far stronger than Third-Tier!" Chu Hongtu then handed all the techniques and martial skills bestowed by the Beast God to the clan leader, shocking everyone present. The Beast God had given their Chu family far too much! "The Beast God instructed us to vigorously develop our family!" "Especially in expanding our population—we must not slack in this!" "Naturally! Our Chu family's influence now covers villages around the Nine Heavens Mountain Range and even extends to Flame Sun City!" "As we strengthen our family, more will clamor to marry into or join the Chu family!" "With greater numbers comes more children annually, increasing chances of talented offspring!" This world ultimately respected strength— with sufficient power, everything became effortless! when they couldn't even leave Qingyang Town, let alone develop their family! someone returned from Flame Sun City. "What? You're saying our ancestor obtained a Fifth-Tier Alchemist inheritance at auction but is trapped in the city?" Chu Jingyue asked gravely. "Yes! Flame Sun City has a Myriad Domain Merchant Guild branch—one of this world's largest merchant groups. They hold auctions periodically!" "Ancestor used vast amounts of Essence Stones to secure the Fifth-Tier Alchemist inheritance, but the three major families of Flame Sun City—all with veteran Fifth-Tier Martial King ancestors—have cornered him!" "That's why I rushed back to request the Beast God's aid!" The clansman explained urgently. "Then I shall request the Beast God's intervention!" Chu Jingyue flew toward the thundercloud. a massive blue serpent soared toward Flame Sun City. Flame Sun City was enormous, covering vast territory with hundreds of thousands of residents! the streets were now eerily quiet with few pedestrians— the entire city tense with anticipation. The source of thɪs content is novｅlfire.net Because several Martial King auras clashed—realms beyond ordinary comprehension. Their oppressive might suffocated all beneath them. three terrifying presences from different directions locked onto Chu Tianyang at the center— the ancestral leaders of Flame Sun City's Li, Zhou, and Pang families. To them, the Fifth-Tier Alchemist inheritance was priceless treasure! These three had stagnated at Martial King realm for untold years, their strength profound and unfathomable! Chu Tianyang was only an early-stage Martial King without powerful martial skills, and though he possessed special physique, he stood no chance against all three! Fortunately, the three families distrusted each other, preventing immediate assault. "Once the Beast God arrives, these people won't matter!" Chu Tianyang thought. "Chu Tianyang, surrender the alchemist inheritance, and I promise to spare you!" Zhou family ancestor Zhou Tiansheng declared gravely. White-haired and hunched over with a cane, his aura remained terrifying. "Indeed! Hand it over, and considering we're all Fifth-Tier Martial Kings, we'll let you leave alive!" Li family ancestor Li Zezhou added coldly. The Myriad Domain Merchant Guild had been clear— this inheritance contained rare medicinal formulas, including Fifth-Tier Breakthrough Pills! For any family, this was an unimaginable treasure. obtaining this meant continuously producing Fifth-Tier Martial Kings, drastically boosting family strength! Thus all three coveted the inheritance. Yet Chu Tianyang remained unmoved. "Is he waiting for reinforcements?" Realizing this, the three acted immediately. Another arrival would disadvantage them! clouds churned overhead, engulfing Flame Sun City in darkness. The attacking trio froze, staring at the swirling storm clouds. "Hahaha! The Beast God comes!" Chu Tianyang rejoiced, sensing the familiar presence. a massive blue serpentine head with three curved horns emerged from the clouds. "So... who dares covet my Chu family's Fifth-Tier Alchemist inheritance?" Long Yuan's voice boomed across the city, Those peeking from windows nearly lost their souls from terror!
