We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Can we get through this?
"Easy peasy." Shen Bailian stood on the void, his eyebrows slightly raised, looking down at the surroundings, like a burning cedar tree standing proudly between heaven and earth.

With a constitution attribute of 40.8 and a spirit attribute of 40.0, this stat sheet can truly be called a well-rounded warrior.

With the added benefit of the Flame Armor, even ordinary early-stage or mid-stage Divine Palace Realm experts are no match for Shen Bailian.

When they go all out, their combat power is unimaginable.

Only now does Shen Bailian have the confidence to say "no" in front of the world; he has become a fully-fledged genius.

"It's time to resolve this farce." Shen Bailian glanced at the accumulating, overwhelming clouds of tribulation.

With his strength further enhanced, and with the support of the Flame Armor, ordinary Tribulations of the Three Nine Heavens could hardly temper his physical body as he should.

But divine matter is hard to come by, so we must seize this opportunity to make a fortune.

As Shen Bailian thought about this, gazing at the rolling tribulation clouds, an extremely audacious idea suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Whoosh!
Amid Xiaoqing's horrified, doubtful, and incredulous gaze, a streak of red light instantly broke through dozens of times the speed of sound and rushed into the tribulation clouds that shimmered with a faint purple light.

What followed was a sonic boom as loud as thunder.

How could he... how dare he?

Charging directly into the accumulating tribulation clouds is tantamount to provoking the might of Heaven and confronting the Heavenly Dao; this is beyond description.

That's suicide!

"It's over."

"Ruined!"

Xiaoqing's expression changed drastically. She never expected that Shen Bailian would have such audacity to associate with such a person. If things were investigated later, it wouldn't just be a matter of being doomed forever.

Instead, it will simply vanish into thin air.

This is a slap in the face to the Heavenly Court!

Xiaoqing is currently in a dilemma, wondering whether she should sever ties with Shen Bailian.

Rationally speaking, she should now completely sever ties with Shen Bailian, because Shen Bailian will definitely face joint attacks from the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling.

However, emotionally speaking, Shen Bailian had given her a second chance at life, and it would be too heartless to sever ties like this.

If it were Bai Suzhen, she would definitely choose the former without hesitation.

Although Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen are sisters, their personalities are actually very different.

Bai Suzhen's obsession with becoming an immortal and seeking enlightenment, and her relationship with Xu Xian, were merely an insignificant chapter in her thousands of years of snake life.

Xiaoqing yearns for freedom and is more spirited. Having spent a long time in the martial arts world, she has also acquired some chivalrous qualities.

Therefore, faced with the stark choice between reason and emotion, Xiaoqing hesitated, unsure which option to choose.

Shen Bailian naturally had no idea what Xiaoqing was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Just an ant that can be easily destroyed.

Shen Bailian was very frustrated because when he rushed into the tribulation clouds, logically speaking, the heavenly tribulation, having been mocked like this, should have unleashed a torrent of thunder, with rolling lightning crashing down upon him.

But actually?
Less than a second after Shen Bailian rushed into the tribulation clouds, the rolling tribulation clouds inexplicably receded, and the heavenly tribulation ended inexplicably.

"mmp".

Shen Bailian cursed under his breath and silently gave the dissipating thunderclouds the middle finger.

Even so, the tribulation lightning seemed to have lost the support of the Heavenly Dao, and it continued to recede, as if it had raised a white flag and was about to surrender.

However, Shen Bailian knew perfectly well that this matter was not over yet.

Or rather, this is only the beginning.

Never treat others like fools, especially in a world with consciousness! Shen Bailian sighed helplessly, his eyes flashing slightly, and the ink-wash panel appeared before his eyes—

[Passive Skill: Golden Body LV1 (213/1000)] 210

【Cure point: 1】

[Divine Matter: 5124]

Shen Bailian's gaze fell directly on the last column, Divine Matter, which had increased from 2100 points to 5124 points, after only staying in the tribulation clouds for less than a second.

If the time could be longer, even just a second, the amount of divine matter would probably break ten thousand again.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao's consciousness was too shrewd and retreated immediately.

In the normal world, matter and energy are conserved. If a world wants to grow, it must draw matter from the void.

However, Shen Bailian was an exception.

He can transform the essence of a world into divine matter to enhance his own power, and the portion of essence he absorbs is equivalent to a part of the world disappearing forever from its cycle.

This is an extremely terrifying thing for a world.

The Heavenly Dao consciousness of this world naturally realized this as well.

To the Heavenly Dao consciousness of this world, Shen Bailian is like a virus within its body. Using its source (energy) to fight a virus will only make the virus stronger.

"Next comes the real highlight."

Shen Bailian watched the dissipating tribulation clouds, and the bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds onto him, but he did not feel any warmth.

I felt a bone-chilling cold spread through my heart.

He sensed it, he sensed the malice he felt when he first came to this world, and the malice now was far stronger than before.

This is a showdown.

Although it's a bit early to reveal the truth now, the overall progress of the plan is still under Shen Bailian's control.

His plan was simple: to acquire enough divine matter to gain the confidence to speak loudly on Earth and to escape this world safely.

The goal of survival has already been achieved, and the strength has reached the expected level. The only remaining task is to obtain enough divine matter.

Next, Shen Bailian will face a double attack from both the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling, which can be described as another great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace.

However, this time the situation is far more serious than the havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Because Shen Bailian stole the very essence of this world!
"Young Master Shen, are you alright?" Xiao Qing approached, feeling as if she were in a dream. The most difficult tribulation of transforming into a dragon, which she had faced the most, had actually passed.

You can win by doing nothing.

After thinking it over, Xiaoqing decided to come over anyway.

"Hey, what are you still doing here?" (End of Chapter)
