It was an unexpected breakthrough!
Every breakthrough in the Saint Realm required a lot of accumulation. Su Chen had just broken through to the middle stage of the Heaven Ascension Realm. According to his estimation, even if he activated the acceleration system, he would need to spend at least 200 billion skill points and go into seclusion many times.
But now, he had broken through.
Su Chen didn't even feel anything. It was too sudden.
Was it the effect of the Phoenix root?
It seemed that this was the only explanation.
In any case, a breakthrough was a good thing.
Su Chen immediately checked his gains.
Just now, the system seemed to have rewarded him with a breakthrough pill, but he didn't know what it was for.
Su Chen looked carefully.
"Breakthrough pill: After consumption, you can skip the tribulation and directly break through the bottleneck and enter the Heaven Pillar Realm."
"Uh …"
This pill was a bit strong.
I just broke through to the late stage of the Heaven Ascension Realm, and this directly rewarded me for breaking through to the Heaven Pillar Realm?
Good things come in pairs.
Su Chen hesitated for a moment, and simply took the breakthrough pill.
Now was the best time for him to continue breaking through.
When the pill entered his body, a strange warm current instantly surged throughout his body, nourishing Su Chen's meridians, limbs, and bones. There was no feeling of pain at all, and he could clearly feel that his strength was constantly soaring.
A powerful spiritual aura enveloped Su Chen.
Time continued to pass, and after a short four hours, Su Chen felt the opportunity to break through.
Under normal circumstances, a breakthrough at this time would immediately cause a lightning tribulation to appear. However, the breakthrough pill exempted Su Chen from the lightning tribulation, so there was no need to worry about it. He could directly break through.
Another two hours passed.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for breaking through to the early stage of the Heaven Pillar Realm. The reward is 100 billion skill points, five high-grade lottery chances, and a skill upgrade card."
Feeling the vigorous spiritual power fluctuations in his body, Su Chen's mouth unconsciously raised.
Heaven Pillar Realm!
This was the feeling of the Heaven Pillar Realm!
No, to be precise, with Su Chen's physique, his Heaven Pillar Realm could be compared to a normal Clear Heaven Realm.
When he was in the Heaven Ascension Realm, Su Chen had the ability to fight with a Clear Heaven Realm expert. Now … his chances of winning were even greater.
Su Chen was quite satisfied.
He had also accumulated ten lottery chances and two Skill Upgrade Cards.
From this, it could be seen that Su Chen's strength was about to rise by leaps and bounds.
Su Chen summoned Xiao Longnu and touched her head to increase her favorability. After entering the system interface, Su Chen decisively started the lottery.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 million skill points."
This … was too weak, wasn't it?
Xiao Longnu looked at Su Chen innocently, as if to say that it had nothing to do with her.
Su Chen shook his head with a wry smile and continued with the second lottery draw.
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 880,000 skill points.'
"It's poisonous!"
Su Chen's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. 'I only have 1,600 luck points, and you're giving me this?'
If it was when he had just transmigrated, it would have been fine. But now, Su Chen's net worth had already reached trillions of skill points. These hundreds of thousands of skill points were not even a fraction of his net worth. System, were you messing with me?
Should I continue with the lottery draw?
Su Chen's heart was suddenly at a loss.
Could it be that the water was causing trouble?
Su Chen was not in a hurry to draw the lottery. Instead, he pinched his fingers and began to calculate his own luck.
"Eh?
This is … "
This time, Su Chen was shocked to find that above his fate, there was a scarlet red Death Omen Star!
Within three days, if he did not leave Ao Lai Manor, his life would be in danger!
This really shocked Su Chen quite a bit.
However, Su Chen did not panic. Although this Death Omen Star came suddenly, the way to dissolve it was very simple.
As long as Su Chen left Ao Lai Manor within three days, the Death Omen Star would naturally disappear.
But where did this Death Omen Star come from?
Su Chen frowned and continued to pinch his fingers to calculate.
"Pfff …"
Su Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining Xiao Longnu's clothes red. Xiao Longnu stared blankly at Su Chen, her eyes full of worry and concern.
Su Chen's face had become very gloomy and scary.
Without another word, he summoned Xiao Longnu back and left the inn to find Gui Guzi in a nearby tavern.
"You're leaving now?
Little Sir, didn't you want to go to the Water Curtain Cave? "
"Next time."
Su Chen did not know how to explain. In short, he could not stay in Ao Lai Manor any longer.
Gui Guzi saw that Su Chen's expression was unwell and did not ask any more questions. He paid the bill and followed Su Chen to the teleportation portal, hurrying back to Flame Tai Prefecture.
Walking out of the teleportation portal, Su Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
As expected, the Death Omen Star above his fate had faded a lot.
For now, his life was not in danger.
However, the crisis did not seem to be completely resolved.
Su Chen needed to leave the Dong Sheng Divine Prefecture as soon as possible.
Su Chen had reason to suspect that he was being targeted by someone.
"That fatty Bai Ruoan?
Or someone else at the auction? "
Su Chen frowned deeply. In Water Moon City, he had only encountered experts at the auction. If someone was targeting him, it would definitely be at the auction.
However, there were many experts at the auction, and many of them had hidden their identities. Su Chen could not be sure who it was.
Moreover, it was useless to be sure. The sense of crisis this time was too strong. Even if Su Chen had just broken through to the Sky Pillar Realm, it was useless. The other party's strength was already beyond imagination.
Heaven's Equal Realm?
Or a Divine King expert?
Su Chen did not dare to think too deeply, but he understood one thing.
There was something wrong with the Water Curtain Cave.
And it was a big problem.
Su Chen even suspected that it was because he had inquired about Sun Wukong in Water Moon City and caused trouble.
That was not impossible.
It was normal for Su Chen to be a little suspicious since it was his first time encountering such a thing.
…
Soaring Cloud Restaurant.
Su Chen had just returned when he sensed Taotao's aura.
She had returned.
Su Chen sent Gui Guzi away to drink and chatted with Taotao in private.
"Did your mother have any plans for you this time?"
Taotao said, "She asked me about the Seven Treasures Heavenly Demon."
"What did you say?"
"I told her the truth. With her wisdom, she would know even if I didn't say it."
"What did my mother-in-law say?"
"She said … the Demon Abyss has been active recently. After tens of thousands of years, a new Demon Emperor was born and became the new ruler of the Demon Race. In the future, the Demon Abyss might do more things, so she told me to be careful."
Demon Emperor?
Su Chen continued to ask, but Taotao clearly did not know much.
"Did you mention me to mother-in-law?"
Taotao said somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't dare … Husband, you won't blame me, right?"
"Eh, it's fine. It's not a bad idea to not talk about it for now."
The Compassionate Light Mother's identity was extraordinary, and Su Chen and his son-in-law were not easy to deal with.
Moreover, the so-called marriage between him and Taotao was just a verbal agreement. In reality, nothing had happened.
Therefore, it was better to wait a little longer.
Taotao suddenly said, "That's right, husband. Mother bestowed me with a transformation pill. I can take human form now."
