Chapter 41

Rumble!

Next, the God-Burying Coffin roared again, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

Under Chen Chang'an's watchful gaze, an extremely pure source of energy emerged from the mouth of the God-Burying Coffin.

As this energy surged into Chen Chang'an's body, it wildly circulated through his meridians and tempered every cell, meridian, and bone...

Finally, it gathered in his dantian, forming a surging spiritual sea.

Chen Chang'an's aura gradually rose.

Ninth Rank of the Heavenly Martial Realm....

Tenth Rank of the Heavenly Martial Realm....

With the massive energy impact, even at the major realm barrier, Chen Chang'an's body still underwent a tremendous change.

His entire aura transformed into that of a king, advancing from the Heavenly Martial Realm to the Heavenly King Realm in an instant!

First Rank of the Heavenly King Realm....

But what surprised Chen Chang'an was that the promotion speed had not yet ended!

The sky above the Chen family's residence was once again filled with wind and clouds, and the spiritual energy above the Chen family's residence wildly circulated, forming a huge vortex above Chen Chang'an's training room!

This was a celestial spiritual energy phenomenon!

Such a significant disturbance naturally caused countless people to look on in shock.

In the main hall of the Chen family, all the strong figures of the Chen family looked in the direction of Chen Chang'an's training room.

"This kid... actually broke through to the King level and even triggered a celestial phenomenon. He truly lives up to being a descendant of our Chen family!"

Chen Xuantong, with his hands behind his back, said with a smile.

Behind him stood the various elders of the clan.

Each of them wore a thoughtful expression.

"Head of the family, this kid... something is off. When he came out of the Demon-Burying Abyss, he had no aura at all. Why is his cultivation speed now so fast?"

Chen Er, fanning himself with a goose feather fan, whispered softly.

"Second Elder, are you suggesting that this kid has been possessed by a demon and is using some evil means to enhance his cultivation?"

Chen Yi frowned and asked.

"That's not the case," Chen Er replied. "Chang'an's body has not been possessed. However, his age seems to have changed. He doesn't seem like someone in his early twenties. Otherwise, his personality wouldn't have changed so much."

"At least now he's better. He's not like a year ago, when he was completely infatuated with a mere girl, losing his mind over her."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen San, holding an ancient zither, said, "We shouldn't interfere too much with Chang'an's growth. As long as he's not being bullied by those old monsters, we shouldn't help him."

"Agreed, Third Elder," Chen Xuantong said with a smile.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed. "How is this possible? This kid has drained all the spiritual energy of the entire capital city!"

"What, drained all of it!? Could it be that he has upgraded our Chen family's Tyrant Bloodline to the Emperor Bloodline?"

"Only the Emperor Bloodline, combined with the Tyrant Emperor Heart Method, can form the legendary Tyrant Emperor Realm, causing such a significant cultivation disturbance!"

Chen Xuantong's face was filled with shock.

Tyrant Emperor Realm!

Sigh!

The others, as if waking from a dream, all drew in a sharp breath, exclaiming in unison.

Indeed, it is so!

...

The disturbance caused by Chen Chang'an's cultivation shook the entire capital city, creating an immense sensation.

However, Chen Chang'an was unaware of the commotion outside and was not interested in it.

At this moment, he was shocked to see his bloodline, which was now glowing with a golden light, forming a stunning crown above his head, with a surging energy vortex atop the crown!

"What... What is this, Coffin Master? Did you cause my Tyrant Bloodline to mutate?"

Chen Chang'an exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's you who is too abnormal. If your bloodline hadn't evolved again, your physical body wouldn't have been able to withstand such a rapid promotion!"

A hoarse and slightly trembling voice came from the God-Burying Coffin.

And then, Chen Chang'an's cultivation level once again advanced in the midst of the violent spiritual sea storm!

First Rank of the Heavenly King Realm....

Second Rank of the Heavenly King Realm....

Third Rank of the Heavenly King Realm...!!

When he reached the Third Rank of the Heavenly King Realm, Chen Chang'an's cultivation finally stabilized.

In the following time, Chen Chang'an focused on consolidating his cultivation.

The leap from the Ninth Rank of the Heavenly Martial Realm to the Third Rank of the Heavenly King Realm was something no one had expected.

If this were to be known, it would surely shock the world.

....

Afterward, outside, apart from the countless discussions about Chen Chang'an, no one dared to cause trouble for Chen Chang'an or the Chen family.

After all, in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, those who had the power to trouble the Chen family, after the disappearance of over a hundred people, no longer had the courage to do so.

Moreover, the Ji royal family was now fully courting the Chen family, and no one dared to provoke them.

And the Dongxuan Kingdom, the Southeast Wind Alliance, and the Jun family had also gone silent.

After all, the powerful and mysterious figure in Chang'an City, whom they could not investigate, was too terrifying.

Whether it was He Wucheng being immobilized in the palace or the gray-robed elder of the Jun family being stopped on the street, no one could guess who was behind it.

In this bizarre situation, the Four Kingdoms Competition quickly approached.

On that day, countless cultivators and major sects from Dongzhou gathered toward the core of Dongzhou.

On the Great Zhou Kingdom side, Ji Mingyue led the way, followed by the Lord of Duanmu Manor and the ancestor Ji Xuangu.

They led the young geniuses of the Great Zhou Kingdom onto a massive flying boat, heading toward the location of the Dongzhou Secret Realm.

Naturally, Chen Chang'an was among them.

He quietly observed everything around him, noticing that everyone on the flying boat was at least Fifth Rank of the Heavenly Martial Realm or higher.

They gathered behind Ji Mingyue, their faces filled with excitement.

After all, they were about to enter the Dongzhou Secret Realm for cultivation, who wouldn't be excited?

Among them, two men were particularly arrogant and proud, deliberately revealing their auras, which were Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank of the Heavenly King Realm, respectively!

"Who are these two...? They shouldn't be students of the Great Zhou Academy, otherwise, their names would be well-known!"

Chen Chang'an thought to himself.

In the large group, although everyone wore smiles, Ji Mingyue's face was filled with worry.

She glanced around and, upon seeing Chen Chang'an standing alone to one side, immediately came to his side and whispered, "Chang'an, what are you thinking?"

"Who are they?"

Chen Chang'an's gaze fell on the two men with extraordinary cultivation, and he asked.

"Them?"

Ji Mingyue glanced over and, after a moment's thought, said, "The Fourth Rank of the Heavenly King Realm is Li Hong. The Fifth Rank of the Heavenly King Realm is Meng Caijun. They are likely external reinforcements that the ancestor has spent a great deal to bring in from outside."

"External reinforcements?"

Chen Chang'an was taken aback.

He had not participated in the competition three years ago because his cultivation level was not high enough at that time.

And those above Eighth Rank of the Heavenly Martial Realm were mostly around thirty years old.

So, he stood out here, being the youngest among them.

"Yes, for each competition, two external reinforcements can be invited. They can be selected from within the country or from major sects outside."

Ji Mingyue explained seriously.

"Oh, I see." Chen Chang'an responded indifferently.

Ji Mingyue, being the core of everyone, her presence by Chen Chang'an's side instantly drew the attention of all the geniuses to him.
