Primordial Emperor

Very quickly, as the duels on various arenas commenced, the people from the Heaven Hall were astonished to find that many powerful challengers suddenly appeared today, defeating the defenders one by one.

This immediately made the people of the Heaven Hall suspicious, guessing if someone had disguised themselves to continuously challenge their defenders.

However, this idea was quickly dismissed because each time those challengers defeated their defenders, they used different martial arts.

An ordinary martial artist wouldn't be capable of cultivating so many different martial arts.

After all, even a Heavenly Pride joining Yunlong Heavenly Palace would find it difficult to master so many.

So this speculation was soon denied by those in charge.

But the people of Heaven Hall were unwilling to see challengers walk away with their money like this.

They thought about investigating those challengers, but doing so would be too conspicuous and would surely cause dissatisfaction among everyone.

After all, those who won challenges would be investigated—what sense does that make? Shouldn't they be able to win in the arena contests?

If that were the case, who would still participate in the Spirit Martial Arena of their Heaven Hall?

The various arena directors could not come to a decision, so they reported this matter to Shi An.

Upon hearing the news, Shi An was extremely furious, yet he also couldn't think of a solution to this predicament.

After all, with so many participants in the contests, if they started investigating, the Spirit Martial Arena might not be able to continue.

...

In the evening, Lin Chen returned to Yellow Hall.

The spirit stones earned today were not as many as yesterday, after all, one couldn't bet too much at once.

Yet Lin Chen still earned nearly four million low-grade spirit crystals.

At this rate of earning money, it was clear it wouldn't be long before he could light up the tenth star map in the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Afterward, Lin Chen headed to the Martial Arts Practice Ground in Yellow Hall for a spar with Zi Ling.

As expected, this time, Lin Chen was once again beaten up badly by Zi Ling, and then carried back to his quarters by Yang Minghui.

After resting for a while in his room, Lin Chen regained his ability to move and summoned the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to let Master Qingxu and the Little Profound Turtle out to protect him.

Whoosh—

The figure of Master Qingxu, upon receiving Lin Chen's summon, immediately emerged from the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

But the Little Profound Turtle was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did that little guy go?"

Lin Chen was quite puzzled; he had previously agreed to let the Little Profound Turtle enter the Second Layer Space, but could it be that the guy was still cultivating inside?

Lin Chen thought for a moment and decided to go in and take a look himself.

Although Lin Chen had entered the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron multiple times to cultivate, he remained extremely cautious each time, ensuring absolute precautions, fearing the secret of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron would be exposed.

After all, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron was Lin Chen's most powerful secret and absolutely couldn't be revealed.

Since the Little Profound Turtle wasn't present, Lin Chen chose Dragon Fang to replace the Little Profound Turtle to guard him.

With a whoosh, Dragon Fang, its spiritual power seated cross-legged on its Dragon Fang instrument body, flew out from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, nibbling on the Plain Blade Soul Cutter, giving Lin Chen a glance with a grumble, clearly dissatisfied with being treated as labor.

"Oh my, you eat my food, live in my place, what's with the fuss when asked to do some work? What, you want to ascend to the heavens? I see I've been feeding you too well lately."

"Do you believe I'll let the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron refine your Plain Blade Soul Cutter so you won't have anything to nibble on."

Lin Chen looked at Dragon Fang, displeased with its lazy attitude, immediately giving Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit a slap on the head.

"Lin Chen, how dare you hit this lord."

Dragon Fang was so angry its mouth twisted, glaring at Lin Chen with deep dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with hitting you, I think you really don't want that Soul Cutter knife anymore."

As Lin Chen spoke, he tapped Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit on the head again.

Upon hearing this, although still angry, Dragon Fang acted like it wanted to eat Lin Chen but dared not make a sound further.

Seeing the Dragon Fang Dagger behaving, Lin Chen stopped admonishing it.

This guy just needed a beating; neglect it for a few days, and it thinks it's the boss here.

Lin Chen was aware of Dragon Fang having Master Qingxu and the Little Profound Turtle call it 'the boss,' but he simply chose to ignore Dragon Fang.

After letting Dragon Fang and Master Qingxu guard him, Lin Chen's figure flickered and he entered the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

For the Little Profound Turtle to dare ignore his call—this guy really thinks it can overturn the heavens.

Lin Chen thought about giving it a good lesson.

Arriving in the First Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen found the Little Profound Turtle absent; it seemed that after going to the Second Layer Space, the Little Profound Turtle had yet to come out.

The repair level of the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron has not reached the complete restoration of the First Layer, so Lin Chen must use the central transmission of the Formation in the First Layer Space to enter the Second Layer Space.

By transmitting via Formation, Lin Chen came to the Second Layer Space and immediately saw the Little Profound Turtle cultivating, absorbing the starlight emitted by the nine star maps in the sky.

"Huh, this little guy seems to have become much stronger."

Lin Chen's gaze fell upon the Little Profound Turtle, immediately noticing the other party's changes.

"Lin Chen, you're here. I indeed have become much stronger; some of my bloodline power has awakened."

The Little Profound Turtle, noticing Lin Chen's arrival, opened its eyes from cultivation and transformed into palm-size, landing on Lin Chen's shoulder.

Previously able to transform, it was thanks to the power of the starlight here; ever since its cultivation fell, it could no longer transform at will.

"The color of your shell seems to have changed too, you shed your skin or something?"

As Lin Chen spoke, he reached out to touch the Little Profound Turtle's four legs.

"Y-you jerk, don't touch me."

The Little Profound Turtle's cheeks flushed red, immediately biting Lin Chen's finger, then jumping and flying off from Lin Chen's shoulder.

Despite Lin Chen's current physical strength, that bite from the Little Profound Turtle hurt quite a bit.

"You little brat, what's your problem?"

Lin Chen looked at the Little Profound Turtle, feeling the other party was inexplicable. Biting someone for touching—what's so bad with a little pat?

And Lin Chen looked at his finger, where a line of long, blood-red tooth marks appeared as if it might start bleeding.

It should be known that Lin Chen's physique could now contend with the Creation Realm; if it were an ordinary martial artist, the finger would have broken.
