Successfully advancing to the sixth stage, Fang Yuan was immeasurably pleased, laughing wildly, exuding an extremely domineering aura.

Fang Yuan's bouts of sinister laughter echoed through the valley, reverberating throughout Yin Yue Mountain.

The Vajra Giant Ape standing guard outside the door heard his big brother's laughter and also felt that terrifying, bone-chilling aura, immediately understanding that his big brother had made a breakthrough in his cultivation.

Without hesitation, he scurried inside.

"Hehe, congratulations big brother, felicitation big brother, with another breakthrough, the Demon Emperor realm will be within your grasp!"

The Vajra Giant Ape showed a flattering face, walking up to Fang Yuan, offering continuous congratulations.

"You have some insight after all; the Demon Emperor realm, for this Demon Monarch, is as easy as flipping a hand!"

Concealing his domineering aura, Fang Yuan glanced at the Vajra Giant Ape, raised his head high, and said indifferently.

"Haha, big brother's talent is unparalleled, I am in awe!"

The Vajra Giant Ape replied with a hearty laugh, then glanced in the direction of where Qiongqi was.

He found that the once vigorous Qiongqi had now turned into a withered corpse.

Then, with a mischievous grin, he said, "Big brother, this bastard Qiongqi, before dying, was able to help big brother break through in cultivation, so at least it died somewhat worthily."

"Hmph, this guy... go take it down and grind its bones to dust, don't leave it here in my sight to annoy me!"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, remembering how Qiongqi used to impersonate him everywhere, and he couldn't help but feel furious.

"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away!"

The Vajra Giant Ape nodded and bowed, walking towards Qiongqi's corpse.

But at that moment, terrifying thunder sounded in the skies above Yin Yue Mountain, deafening and roaring.

"Damn, almost forgot, there's still a Thunder Tribulation to overcome!"

Fang Yuan's face changed drastically, blaming the Vajra Giant Ape for rushing in and causing him to forget about the Thunder Tribulation.

Without daring to delay, Fang Yuan flew out of the valley, heading towards the Thunder Tribulation in the sky.

...

Peach Grove Valley

At the moment Fang Yuan successfully overcame the Thunder Tribulation, Jiang Che, who was snoring soundly, received a system notification.

"Ding, the cultivation level of the bound target Fang Yuan has broken through, congratulations to the host for receiving tenfold feedback."

Jiang Che abruptly opened his eyes, full of joy.

Indeed, this wave of investing in the second brother was the right decision.

A blood-earned reward, using one Qiongqi, in exchange for a tenfold feedback.

For a moment, Jiang Che even hoped more Qiongqi-like characters would appear in the Great Qin Empire.

When that time came, he would capture them one by one, send them to the second brother, and receive tenfold feedback, wouldn't that be a never-ending gain?

This Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture is indeed extraordinary, no wonder the second brother treats it like a treasure and continues to cultivate this technique.

Jiang Che silently marveled in his heart.

With the second brother cultivating the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture, as long as there are things to devour, one's cultivation level can quickly soar, which to Jiang Che seemed like having a cheat code.

And he himself is the ultimate cheat!

Jiang Che had already decided that, in the future, if there were valuable things, he must send more to the second brother.

Especially later, when encountering some ferocious beasts seeking death.

Those beasts might not have Blood Qi comparable to Qiongqi, but if one isn't enough, then more should be sent.

This is considered the most lucrative investment in the world!

Bang!

Suddenly, the system feedback struck, an endless river of Spiritual Power flowed into Jiang Che's body from the void.

The endless Spiritual Power circulated through Jiang Che's limbs and bones, quickly refined by Jiang Che, eventually converging into the Demon Pill.

For a moment, the aura around Jiang Che, visibly increased, his cultivation began advancing towards the eighth stage.

Emitting a dazzling purple glow, Jiang Che closed his eyes and concentrated, constantly mobilizing the Spiritual Power inside his body, crashing against the solid barrier of the eighth stage, causing his physical body to tremble uncontrollably.

Every collision sent an unbearable pain throughout his body, as if his flesh was about to break apart, the massive commotion making even the earth seem to tremble along with Jiang Che.

"Big brother's cultivation has broken through again?"

The loud disturbance woke Nangong Luo, who was in the middle of cultivation.

Watching the continually rising aura around his big brother, he couldn't help but think to himself.

Of course, Nangong Luo had long been accustomed to his big brother's frequent breakthroughs, so he wasn't particularly surprised anymore.

He merely stood there, quietly watching and waiting for his big brother's breakthrough to end.

Not long after.

Bang!

A roaring sound erupted from within Jiang Che's body, his powerful aura seeping in all directions, Jiang Che's cultivation finally surpassed the boundary between the seventh and eighth stages, successfully advancing to the eighth stage.

But before Jiang Che could catch his breath, the entire sky suddenly darkened.

Rumble~

A series of thundering explosions resounded through the sky.

Jiang Che instinctively looked up, squinting his eyes at the scene above.

Thunder Tribulation!

Breaking through the eighth stage still requires overcoming a Thunder Tribulation!

He saw over Tiger King Ridge, fierce winds arising, whistling harshly, issuing terrifying howls.

Clouds from all directions gathered towards the center, as black as ink, forming a deep ocean in the sky.

Heavily pressing over Tiger King Ridge, as if it might collapse the next second.

Within the clouds, a vast amount of thunder continuously leapt and flashed, a purple light piercing through the cloud cover, shooting forth and illuminating the world.

And as time passed, the amount of thunder manifested above the clouds increased, its brilliance growing brighter until it finally formed a massive vortex of thunder.

In the black mist, the slowly spinning vortex of thunder emitted waves of deafening roars, constantly detonating over Tiger King Ridge.

The terrifying celestial phenomenon, especially the thunder filled with a destruction aura, instinctively instilled fear in the beasts living on Tiger King Ridge.

Each one had weak legs, trembling all over, crawling on the ground, uttering cries of fear.

"Is the king about to break through again?"

Bear Claw, lying alongside Bear Two sunbathing on the bluestone slab, nearly dropped his jaw as he looked at the thunder in the sky.

How terrifying this Thunder Tribulation was, larger in scale than any prior Thunder Tribulations the king had encountered when breaking through, also bringing a stronger sense of danger.

Standing at the side, Nangong Luo, who was monitoring his big brother's breakthrough, saw the Thunder Tribulation forming in the air.

Instantly, he was full of shock, gazing in disbelief at the figure standing ahead.

"Thunder Tribulation! Big brother's breakthrough is advancing to the eighth stage!"

Quick, it's so quick!

After the eighth stage, it's the ninth stage, meaning his big brother is now just one step away from becoming a Demon Emperor!

As for whether his big brother could pass this Thunder Tribulation, Nangong Luo had no worries at all.

After all, his big brother was so exceptionally endowed, possessing powerful Spirit Treasures, coupled with the various Divine Secret Techniques he had taught him, the chances of not overcoming it were minuscule.
