I've announced that I'm destined to have many children, and my father has bestowed upon me

His consciousness began to blur, as if he would be torn to shreds at any moment by the terrifying force attacking from both inside and outside.

But at that moment, the mysterious Returning Origin Dao Body within his body began to operate on its own.

A warm yet powerful life force surged from the depths of his body, rapidly repairing his meridians and flesh damaged by the lightning.

Destroy, repair, destroy again, repair again...

A profound and perfect cycle quietly formed within his body.

The oppressive aura emanating from Sendai, however, became an excellent "tranquilizer" at this moment.

It suppressed Zhao Chen'an's physical body, preventing the power of the Body Tempering Lightning from fully erupting and keeping it bound within his body.

He washed his God of Europe again and again in a more refined way!

Zhao Chen'an's body is becoming stronger at an incredible speed!

The purple lightning enveloping him grew even more intense.

Eventually, a giant purple lightning cocoon formed, completely engulfing his figure.

Time passed by, second by second.

The electric arc above was no longer violent, but had transformed into a docile electric snake.

It moves rhythmically, exuding a chilling aura of destruction and rebirth.

Half an hour passed quietly.

Just when everyone thought this crazy body tempering would end quietly.

"Click."

An extremely faint cracking sound came from the thunder cocoon.

Then came the second sound, the third sound...

Cracks, like a spider web, quickly spread across the entire surface of the lightning cocoon!

"boom!"

The next instant, the lightning cocoon exploded!

Purple lightning scattered and flew everywhere, revealing a figure sitting cross-legged among them.

Zhao Chen'an remained in the same posture.

At this moment, however, not an inch of his skin remained intact.

The charred scabs intertwined with the tender new flesh, and streaks of blood slid down his body, dripping onto the white jade steps, a shocking sight.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes showed no sign of pain or weakness; instead, they shone with an astonishing brightness, like two stars containing thunder!

"He...he survived?"

"He's gone mad! He's really gone mad!"

"Having just survived a life-or-death ordeal, he dares to attempt a higher level? Isn't he afraid that his foundation is unstable and he'll be crushed by the pressure?"

No one could understand it.

Even Qian Wushuang, Peony Fairy, and the others were all taken aback.

However, Zhao Chen'an's steps were steady and powerful.

Take a step!

"Thump!"

A muffled thud, like a giant hammer striking everyone's heart.

He landed steadily on the 101st step.

Standing side by side with Ye Shenglin, the chief disciple of Tianjian Mountain!

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

That aloof figure, who had always been invincible and left all his peers far behind, was caught up with for the first time!

A hint of emotion finally appeared on Ye Shenglin's usually impassive face.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the blood-covered man beside him.

The overwhelming surge of violent energy caused the sword intent within his body to begin to hum uncontrollably.

What an amazing physical body!

What an overbearing will!

For the first time, Ye Shenglin felt the word "threat" towards a peer.

But this is not the end.

Before Ye Shenglin could speak.

Before the audience could recover from their shock...

Zhao Chen'an has made another move.

He didn't even glance at Ye Shenglin, as if the person standing next to him was just an insignificant passerby.

He lifted his other foot.

Take another step upwards!

"Boom!"

The moment his foot touched the 102nd step, a pressure from the Sendai, several times more terrifying than before, suddenly descended!

That force was so heavy that it could crush mountains!

Zhao Chen'an's body suddenly sank, and his bones, which had just been tempered and refined, let out a groan of unbearable strain!

Fresh blood was squeezed out from every pore of his body, instantly turning him into a blood-soaked figure!

But he held on!

He gritted his teeth and withstood the immense pressure that would have instantly crushed even an ordinary Dragon Transformation Realm expert.

He planted that foot firmly on the 102nd step!

Then, he slowly straightened up.

He turned around.

He stood at a higher vantage point, looking down at everything behind him.

Looking down at Ye Shenglin, who had a look of astonishment on his face.

Looking down at Qian Wushuang, whose face was completely blank.

Looking down at the ladder to heaven, there were faces that looked as if they had seen a ghost.

He didn't speak.

But his posture and his existence have already issued the most domineering declaration to the whole world.

I am number one!

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The entire imperial city was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was so shocked by this incredible scene that they lost the ability to think.

On the imperial city wall, Zhao Daoting unconsciously crushed the armrest of the dragon throne in his hand into dust.

He stared intently at the crimson figure standing atop the peak, his chest heaving violently.

What a rebellious son!

Are you... trying to defy the heavens?!
