These dozen Ancestor Heavenly Dragon scales were not wanted by Mad Dragon Emperor, and Chu Fengmian naturally took them without hesitation.

This time he helped Mad Dragon Emperor dispel the Chaos lightning, not only to win him over but also for the contained forces, which Chu Fengmian desired.

"The disaster is resolved, and the injuries Dragon Emperor has will recover within days, but I imagine Dragon Emperor must prepare for the tribulation."

Chu Fengmian looked at Mad Dragon Emperor and spoke calmly.

Chu Fengmian could discern that Mad Dragon Emperor’s strength had nearly reached the true Heavenly Human Realm.

After all, Mad Dragon Emperor’s strength, even the Lesser Emperor and Desolate Heavenly King, could not compare with him.

With Mad Dragon Emperor’s strength, he should have long faced the major tribulation.

However, because of the Chaos lightning within Mad Dragon Emperor, most of his power was used to suppress it, hence he never triggered the major tribulation.

Chaos lightning tormented Mad Dragon Emperor, yet it also trained him; facing the Chaos lightning, his power accumulation became increasingly formidable.

Now that Chu Fengmian assisted Mad Dragon Emperor in neutralizing the Chaos lightning threat.

Once Dragon Emperor’s strength recovers, he will surely trigger the tribulation.

"Don’t worry, sir, I have the means to overcome this tribulation."

Mad Dragon Emperor laughed heartily as he spoke.

The notorious major tribulation, for the present Mad Dragon Emperor, was nothing he feared.

He had once endured the Heaven-defying tribulation; the major tribulation was nothing.

In terms of power, the major tribulation paled in comparison to the Heaven-defying tribulation.

Especially over countless years, in confrontation with the Chaos lightning, Mad Dragon Emperor’s strength had fundamentally changed.

Facing this tribulation, Mad Dragon Emperor had absolute confidence.

"Then I await Dragon Emperor’s good news."

Chu Fengmian spoke briefly, then flickered away and departed the palace.

Mad Dragon Emperor must go through the tribulation himself; Chu Fengmian would not interfere. However, watching nearby was a chance for Chu Fengmian.

Witnessing someone face the tribulation firsthand was indeed an opportunity to accumulate experience for Chu Fengmian’s own future tribulation.

Chu Fengmian was still in the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor realm and hadn’t stepped into the semi-Heavenly Human Realm.

Yet Chu Fengmian faintly anticipated his tribulation wouldn’t be easy to face.

He had defied the Heaven-defying tribulation, becoming a unique existence, going against the heavens and rejected by them.

This tribulation was the perfect chance for the Heavenly Dao to strike down Chu Fengmian; his tribulation was the real ordeal.

Throughout ages, truly extraordinary talents had perished in tribulations, countless people, and Chu Fengmian did not want to be among them.

"Mr. Chu."

As Chu Fengmian left the palace, two figures surrounded him, Yin Longxian and Princess Hai.

Though Yin Longxian was called out of the palace by Mad Dragon Emperor, she was always attentive to Chu Fengmian’s conversation with Mad Dragon Emperor.

She vaguely guessed the conversation was related to Mad Dragon Emperor’s injuries.

"Mr. Chu, how is my master?"

Yin Longxian looked at Chu Fengmian with anxiety.

"Everything’s fine; within a few days, you’ll see your master."

Chu Fengmian smiled at Yin Longxian.

The bond between Yin Longxian and Mad Dragon Emperor was strong, evident in her genuine concern.

"That’s good."

Though uncertain what Chu Fengmian and Mad Dragon Emperor discussed, seeing Chu Fengmian’s smile, Yin Longxian relaxed.

"In a few days, prepare to leave the mountain with valuable items."

Chu Fengmian suddenly reminded.

In a few days, when Mad Dragon Emperor’s injuries heal, the tribulation will be triggered.

Given the tribulation’s power, the mountain will likely be annihilated; Chu Fengmian was giving Yin Longxian a heads-up.

"Oh?"

Yin Longxian seemed puzzled, but trusting Chu Fengmian’s words, hurried away to gather her belongings from the mountain.

The mountain was her domain, containing her many assets; hearing Chu Fengmian, she quickly prepared.

"I must leave; in a few days, we’ll head to the Canghai Star Field."

Informing Princess Hai, Chu Fengmian flickered and left the mountain, stepping into the depths of the void.

He reached a place even semi-Heavenly Human Realm couldn’t tread, stopping only then, a large hand casting Spiritual Power forth.

Within this Spiritual Power was the Space Path, opening a space amidst the void’s turbulence.

The space was silent, undisturbed.

Around it, spatial turbulence formed a barrier, shielding from disruptions. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Arriving here, Chu Fengmian sat cross-legged, a thought, and from his Space Ring, the dozen dragon scales fell into his palm.

"Refine!"

The Swallowing Heaven Origin was fully activated, and the dozen dragon scales entered the Swallowing Heaven Secret Technique.

As the secret technique functioned, it crazily refined the dragon scales.

Chu Fengmian had refined Ancestor Heavenly Dragon’s claw before; now, refining these scales was no difficulty.

Recently, Chu Fengmian used the secret technique to absorb Chaos lightning, converting it into refined Spiritual Power, stored within.

Now this power could be utilized.

The power merged into the secret technique, enhancing it to refine the dragon scales.

Though termed refinement, Chu Fengmian aimed to transform the scales into their most primitive forms.

Innate Divine Beasts were once Tai Chu energy; the dozen dragon scales were essentially Tai Chu energy.

Through refinement, the scales underwent transformation, their contained aura growing ancient.

With a bang.

All the dragon scales burst within the secret technique, becoming a small mass of Tai Chu energy.

This Tai Chu energy, compared to that obtained from the dragon’s claw, was a mere tenth.
