In the past two months, he had amassed all the power of the Ancient Monster Beast Essence Blood, Beast Bone Power, and the True Fire Spirit into his Physical Body, tirelessly circulating the "True Fire Body Refinement".
Effort never betrays the diligent.
Two months of hard work had led to success in a single moment.
"True Fire Body Refinement" was already at the brink of a breakthrough to the second layer, and this time, with a burst of effort, Su Chen succeeded.
"Hahaha..." Following that, Su Chen burst into a joyful laughter, as excited as a child.
Breaking through "True Fire Body Refinement" was certainly no easy feat!!!
"Young boy Su, to what degree has your Physical Strength reached?"
"My Body Defense Power has increased fivefold. From now on, even ordinary Low-Grade Divine Artifacts and Middle-Grade Divine Artifacts will have a hard time breaking through my Physical Body. Not to mention my terrifying bodily recovery abilities and the effect of the Temporal Heavenly Dao. To put it bluntly, now if I stand here doing nothing and allow any Martial Cultivator below the Dome Extreme Realm to attack me, I won’t have any issue for three to five days."
"Furthermore, in terms of Physical Strength, with one punch I can now unleash the Power of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dragons! Under the effects of Divine Power Compression, Three Powers Transformation, and the Heavenly Fury Arm, one punch can reach the Power of One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dragons!" Su Chen said with a smile, carefree and content. However, he quickly became a bit troubled, "But the effect of the Heavenly Fury Arm is now useless to me. My current Physical Strength has surpassed the utmost limit that the Heavenly Fury Arm can augment. In other words, even the most powerful Ancient Arm Ape from Ancient Times wouldn’t be as strong as I am now, so the bonus from the Heavenly Fury Arm is gone."
"If it’s gone, it’s gone. Your Pure Physical Strength has increased so much; the Heavenly Fury Arm is optional for you now, haha... What if you were to use the Mysterious Beast Bone? Four Million Dragon’s Strength!!!" Jiuyou laughed heartily: "With one punch, you would be nigh invincible below the Dome Extreme Realm, not to mention that the Three Forces can be transformed. With your Physical Strength increasing so much, it means that your Mysterious Qi and Divine Soul have also increased by that much... your Combat Strength, tsk tsk..."
"All cards played out. No holds barred. With a bit of luck on my side. Even a Ninth Layer Martial Artist of the Dome Extreme Realm might be killed by me." Su Chen was extremely confident as he raised his head, the smile on his lips taking on a somewhat sinister hue.
"Haha..." Jiuyou laughed again, unable to help himself, as the overall increase in Su Chen’s Strength was too substantial! It was as if he had advanced at lightning speed! Being invincible below the Dome Extreme Realm almost equated to being invincible on the Divine Martial Continent outside of the Buddha Domain. Of course, one didn’t exclude the existence of a few incredibly powerful hidden Old Monsters, but generally speaking, Su Chen could now be counted as a top-level powerhouse on the Divine Martial Continent, able to look everything in the eye.
"Jiuyou, I can hardly wait any longer." Su Chen chuckled, "Hmph, Li Ping, last time... you chased me to such a sorry state..."
"You want to take revenge?"
"Ahem." Su Chen felt slightly embarrassed, "Well, not exactly, just to teach her a lesson, yeah, teach her a lesson..."
Li Ping was already his woman, what revenge? If any revenge was due, it would be to have Li Ping beneath him, taking revenge in a more... passionate way.
Su Chen left the Treasure Vault.
Upon exiting the Treasure Vault, Su Chen felt right away that his father-in-law had arrived.
The Xuanfeng Emperor.
It made sense, as he had been in Secluded Cultivation for two months, and everything had spread far and wide by now!
The Wanlong Dynasty was no more, and of course, the ascendant power was the Xuanfeng Emperor, nothing surprising there.
Su Chen suddenly appeared in front of the Xuanfeng Emperor.
At this moment, the Xuanfeng Emperor was sitting at the royal throne in the main hall of the Wanlong Dynasty’s palace, his face full of relaxed and proud expressions.
The sudden appearance of Su Chen startled the Xuanfeng Emperor, who relaxed upon recognizing him.
The Xuanfeng Emperor felt a mix of embarrassment and joy.
"My wise nephew, where have you been these past two months?" the Xuanfeng Emperor coughed and said, "I took the liberty and just..."
"The Wanlong Dynasty was originally intended as a gift for the Emperor," Su Chen said with a smile.
The Xuanfeng Emperor nodded, felt a sigh of relief in his heart, and was extremely pleased, once again marveling to himself, he had won the bet! He had really won!!! Or perhaps, it could be said, he had a good daughter!
If not for the Seventh Princess’s plea and her kneeling that day, he truly might not have risked such a gamble!
"Emperor, by now you have control over all the members of the Wanlong Royal Family, don’t you?" asked Su Chen. Although he didn’t plan to kill those irrelevant people from the Wanlong Royal Family, he couldn’t just let them be; at the very least, he needed to know what they were doing and where they were going, among other things.
"Of course!" The Xuanfeng Emperor nodded intensely.
"Do you have all their information?" Su Chen asked further.
"Yes," the Xuanfeng Emperor promptly handed over a booklet to Su Chen.
The booklet was very thick, with densely packed characters on it.
Su Chen took the booklet and quickly began flipping through it.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Su Chen had a clear grasp of the situation.
In the Wanlong Royal Family, the oldest surviving member was an individual named Qin Shilong, who was at the Creation Realm Eighth Level and was a prince of the Wanlong Royal Family. He was over four hundred thousand years old.
His lifespan was not much longer.
"Emperor, please hand this storage bag to the Burning Heaven Sect, to my Master Huo Shouying," said Su Chen, after getting what he wanted. He gave a storage bag to the Xuanfeng Emperor, which contained the vast number of martial cultivation resources from the treasure vault of the Wanlong Dynasty, a staggering sum that could shock to death anyone who knew of it. Apart from the items Su Chen had consumed during his secluded cultivation, such as Dao Grade Elixirs, he only took one hundred million Black Xuan Stones for himself.

This storage bag, if taken out, would likely cause a sensation throughout the Xuanfeng Dynasty, let alone the entire Wanlong Dynasty.
However, Su Chen handed it over to the Xuanfeng Emperor without hesitation, knowing the Emperor would not dare to pocket a single item. If he couldn’t even manage that, he wouldn’t be the Xuanfeng Emperor.
Besides, the Xuanfeng Emperor was in no shortage of martial cultivation resources.
"Certainly!" the Xuanfeng Emperor nodded.
"Emperor, if possible, I would like the Xuanfeng Imperial Family to look after the Burning Heaven Sect," Su Chen continued.
"We will share weal and woe!!!" declared the Xuanfeng Emperor solemnly, very serious. He was no fool. Without mentioning the rest, Su Chen was ready to soar to great heights, and the Burning Heaven Sect was like a strong leg that, although not yet fully grown, anyone with sense would hold on tight to. Now that the sect was still developing, he had the chance to cling to that support. Once it reached its full growth, he might not have such an opportunity.
Moreover, his most beloved daughter, Chu Xuan, had also clearly stated she would spend most of her time at the Burning Heaven Sect in the future.
Su Chen nodded. On the whole, the Xuanfeng Emperor was a wise man; some things didn’t even need to be explained, as they were already understood.
"Well then, Xuanfeng Emperor, I shall take my leave now," Su Chen thought for a moment, could think of nothing else to instruct, smiled, and then, with a shift in his figure, he departed.
The Xuanfeng Emperor took a deep breath in. Just now, when Su Chen left, he didn’t even feel the slightest ripple in the air. It was terrifying.
