Chapter 617

With Zi Chen's advice, Wang Qiong could be said to be fully prepared. He had already placed three Alchemy Weapons in his Spirit Ring. He even wore the Alchemy Weapon Battle Armor. In addition, he had also taken several Ancient Herb Kings, which were comparable to Treasure Pills.

Zi Chen and the others had already cleared out the area within ten li of where Wang Qiong was undergoing his tribulation. It was so clean that not even a bird or a small beast could be seen.

"Rumble."

Thunder rumbled as heavenly lightning descended. It was as if a silver dragon had appeared, bringing with it a vast might.

Zi Chen and the others stood guard in the distance to prevent any unexpected changes from happening. This was the first time he had seen someone undergo the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Although the vast Heavenly Might was fierce and terrifying, it fell down one after another, so there were traces to follow.

It was unlike his tribulation, where a terrifying sea of lightning appeared. It was a scene of apocalypse.

As the heavenly lightning descended, Wang Qiong used his Alchemy Weapon to block it. At the same time, he followed Zi Chen's advice and used the heavenly lightning to temper his body.

Seeing the heavenly lightning descending one after another, the relaxed expressions of Tyrant and the others slowly turned serious.

"What a terrifying Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. It's even more terrifying than my tribulation," Wild Wolf exclaimed.

As a Demonic Beast, Wild Wolf could take human form after reaching the Primal Core Realm. However, the might of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation that he experienced was far stronger than humans. Furthermore, the Core Formation Pavilion was only effective on humans. It was ineffective on Demonic Beasts.

Wang Qiong's Heavenly Lightning Tribulation was indeed very strong. Everyone could sense this and had to take it seriously.

Furthermore, Wang Qiong, who was wearing Battle Armor, suffered heavy injuries several times. He even swallowed a few drops of Essence Liquefied Origin Energy and a Treasure Pill.

However, Wang Qiong was well prepared. In the end, he passed the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation without any danger.

After successfully passing the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, Wang Qiong's strength broke through. The essence of the Essence Energy in his body also underwent a transformation. From the Liquefied Essence Energy to the Primal Core Realm. From now on, Wang Qiong was a Primal Core Realm old monster. In the Savage Land, he was also a famous Sect Master.

Having reached the Primal Core Realm at such a young age, Wang Qiong would naturally cause a huge commotion when he returned to the Savage Land.

After his breakthrough, Wang Qiong's battle prowess had also increased by several folds. He would have no problem fighting a mid-stage Primal Core cultivator. Zi Chen now had another general on his side.

Wang Qiong flew back excitedly, and everyone congratulated him.

"Sigh, I wonder when I can break through to the Inner Core realm."

Tyrant sighed and looked at Zi Chen. "Once I break through, my combat strength will increase again. I will be the undisputed number one here."

Zi Chen ignored the monk's slightly provocative gaze.

"Hehe, you've broken through, but we're still waiting to break through." Wang Shan chuckled.

Wang Qiong's breakthrough was definitely good news for them. However, there might be more and more good news in the coming days.

The reason being that Wang Xian 'er, Wang Shan, the Tyrant, Wu Mo, Zhang Haotian, the Demonic Ape, Longhu, and the others had all achieved the Perfection Stage of the Wasteland Realm. It was highly possible that they would be able to sense the Tribulation at the very next moment, allowing them to have a breakthrough.

As for Zi Chen, after the second baptism, his strength had also increased by leaps and bounds. He was only a small step away from the Perfection Stage of the Wasteland Realm.

After this small step, he would be at the Perfection Stage of the Wasteland Realm, and then he would have to undergo the Tribulation of the Wasteland Realm. However, Zi Chen's heart was filled with contradictions. He wanted to break through earlier, but at the same time, he wanted to delay it. Because the difficulty of his Core Formation was thousands of times harder than others.

Moreover, he had to return to the Wasteland before he could form his Core Formation. Otherwise, he would have no hope of forming his Core Formation.

Since he had successfully broken through, he naturally had to celebrate. However, just as he returned to the encampment, Zi Chen saw a familiar figure.

Lv Peng.

He, who was supposed to be setting up the formation, was actually here.

Zi Chen did not inform Lv Peng about Wang Qiong's breakthrough, because they were enough. Moreover, setting up the formation was obviously more important than Wang Qiong's breakthrough.

However, now that Lv Peng was here, Zi Chen thought of a possibility, and his face lit up instantly. At the same time, Lv Peng, who had just congratulated Wang Qiong, turned to look at Zi Chen and nodded his head.

The meaning of the nod was simple and clear. The formation had been completed.

In the third battle, they mainly relied on the formation. Now that the formation was completed, they just had to wait for the people from the overlords to arrive.

"Today is indeed a happy day. Everyone, let's get drunk." It was rare for Zi Chen to indulge himself, and the others cheered.

Everyone's so-called celebration was naturally roasted ancient beast meat and wine. Although Zi Chen and the others had a lot of ancient beast meat, they would not eat it without restraint.

This thing was very useful for one's physique, and could be used as a resource to nurture one's own forces. However, today's celebration was completely unrestrained.

Golden roasted meat dripping with oil was served continuously, and bottles of good wine were placed on the table. The fragrance of the meat and wine filled the air. Everyone ate heartily and drank to their heart's content.

Under the influence of the wine, everyone chatted about the past, reminiscing about the past and sighing about the future. Then, for some reason, the topic of their encounter suddenly changed.

The fire of gossip burned in everyone's hearts. The most curious thing was naturally the encounter between Zi Chen and Wang Xian 'er. Hence, everyone asked about it.

With regards to their encounter, Zi Chen still felt a little awkward. This was because he had made use of Wang Xian 'er, who was much stronger than him.

At that time, Wang Xian 'er was in the True Energy Realm, while Zi Chen was in the True Energy Realm. She had mistakenly thought that Zi Chen was an assassin and wanted to capture him. At the same time, Zi Chen was being pursued by the Martial Ancestor's men. Hence, she mistakenly said that the two of them had an unusual relationship. Furthermore, she even said that Wang Xian' er wanted to kill him out of hatred.

At that time, Zi Chen had successfully made use of Wang Xian 'er and almost killed her. In the end, he had a conscience and rushed back to rescue her.

From there, he discovered a series of things.

As a man, he actually made use of a woman to avoid disaster. Zi Chen naturally could not say such an embarrassing thing. Hence, he said that it was just an ordinary encounter. Everyone jeered and did not believe him. In the end, it was Wang Xian 'er who told them what had happened that day. However, after she told them the whole story, while everyone was shocked, they also felt the danger of the situation.

He was only in the True Energy Realm, yet he was surrounded by True Energy Realm cultivators and Zephyr Realm cultivators. It was already a miracle that Zi Chen was still alive.

Furthermore, Zi Chen had extended a helping hand to those ordinary people when he was being pursued. His actions were also admirable. Similarly, they were also touched by the simplicity of the ordinary people in the village.

Even Wild Wolf, Hei Feng, and the other two mid-stage Inner Core Realm cultivators were nodding their heads as they looked at Zi Chen with admiration.

After that, it was Miao Kong's turn. Zi Chen and Miao Kong had known each other for a long time, so there was no need to say much. However, it was his encounter with Wang Shan that made everyone burst into laughter.

Hei Feng and the rest were also looking at Wang Shan in shock. They did not expect that the young man who liked to swear would have such a history. Furthermore, he called Zi Chen 'brother-in-law' in order to save his own life.

Furthermore, Zi Chen and Wang Xian 'er did not have that kind of relationship at that time. Obviously, Wang Shan was trying to save his own life. Hence, while everyone burst into laughter, they also lamented that Wang Shan was really a weirdo.

Under such circumstances, everyone naturally thought of Wang Shi. He was originally a powerful monster, but unexpectedly, he died prematurely, killed by the assassins of the Heavenly Assassins Union.

Although they had already taken their revenge in the ancient battlefield, they still felt very sad when they thought about it now.

If Wang Shi was still alive, his strength would naturally have reached the Great Completion of the Zephyr Realm. Furthermore, he also had the battle strength to destroy Inner Core Realm cultivators. Today, he could also drink and chat with everyone here.

In order to divert the sad mood, the topic of their encounter continued.

After that, it was Zhang Haotian and Lv Peng. Naturally, there were stories of life and death.

"What about that monk? Lord Zi Chen, how did you get to know him?" Hei Feng asked curiously.

"We didn't know each other before. We only met in the Land of Chaos," Zi Chen answered directly without thinking.

Naturally, no one believed him. Furthermore, the others were also curious about the encounter between Zi Chen and the monk.

"Haha, let me tell you about this matter."

Hearing this, the monk immediately perked up and said loudly, "When you guys met Zi Chen, almost all of you were at a disadvantage. Only I, Haha, took advantage of him."

Ignoring Zi Chen's darkening face, the monk laughed and said, "Because I broke all the bones in his body back then."

Hearing this, everyone exclaimed in shock.

"Bah, you damn bald donkey liar. Back then, I was only in the early stage of the Xiantian Realm, but you were in the True Energy Realm. How dare you say that?" Zi Chen was instantly enraged. "Back then, you cheated me of my Blazing Sword. Now, return it to me."

Hearing this, Wang Shan's face darkened as well. The Blazing Sword was snatched from him by Zi Chen.

Having been exposed, Zi Chen was completely enraged. Then, without caring about his image as the leader, he began to fight with the monk, exposing each other's dirty secrets.

"Haha, do you still remember that you bought the Firmament Palm Technique?" Zi Chen also began to laugh. He had once used a fake Firmament Palm Technique to trick the monk.

"Sure enough, it was you. I knew it was you." The monk was furious.

The two began to fight, and the things that happened were always so interesting.

"Alright, the past is past. Forget it. I just want to ask, is there really a supreme secret manual in that Firmament Palm Technique?" The monk gave up in the end.

It seemed that except for the first time when he had a slight advantage, every time he met Zi Chen, he would be unlucky. Moreover, he had once thought that Zi Chen was his nemesis until he came to the Land of Chaos.

"I really want to know if there really is a supreme secret manual." Zi Chen smiled mysteriously.

"Of course. Back then, the Li family caused such a big commotion. Don't tell me that it was just a Firmament Palm Technique." The monk stared.

"Actually, it's not a powerful secret manual. It's just a secret technique. But I think the Li family doesn't know what it is," Zi Chen said.

"What? Secret technique?"

The monk's eyes lit up. Then, he said impatiently, "No, it was originally mine. You have to teach me."

Zi Chen glanced at the monk in disdain and said, "It's just a secret technique for body refinement. I've already taught it to all of you back in the ancient battlefield."

Everyone was relieved. When the monk heard this, he felt much better. He said, "I was wondering why the body refinement technique was so powerful. So it was originally mine."

"Pfft! Damn monk, I've already taught you the body refinement technique. Now, shouldn't you be more generous and teach me the technique of the Ma Word Mantra? And that defensive light shield, show it to us so that we can study it together."

"Amitabha, I still have something to do. I'll take my leave now." The monk put on a solemn look and then turned to leave.

"Pfft! Damn bald monk, every time we talk about this, you have to run away." Zi Chen said unhappily.
