It had been 3 weeks since Lin Chen had been in the outside world on an adventure-seeking experience. Various events have occurred, both dangerous and pleasant.
After Yan Xue left, Lin Chen was only in his room to cultivate a closed door. With the Star Suctioning Technique, he quickly improved by consuming a Qi Gathering Pill, not only to restore empty Qi but also to facilitate the absorption of the surrounding Qi.
One week later…
Bang!
A submerged sound rang out from within Lin Chen's body, signalling an increase in cultivation level. Lin Chen opened his eyes slowly, and Lin Chen's aura of the ox increased.
"Hahaha, Heavenly King *7. Although killing could increase cultivation, finding more beasts and monsters was troublesome. In the Dark Abyss, the highest level was only at the Heavenly Path stage. I hope Heise City doesn't disappoint," said Lin Chen, gently stroking his chin.
***
After two weeks of the events at Yun Mountain, the atmosphere in Xuan City was calm again, and people started to go about their routines as if nothing had happened.
After packing up and returning the room key to the receptionist, Lin Chen started his journey toward Heise City or Experience Point Mining Town.
The distance from Xuan City to Heise City was quite far. At full speed, Lin Chen currently took 4 days. However, without rest, Lin Chen only needed 1 full day to get to his destination.

Snake Forest
As the name implies, the Snake Forest is a forest filled with various snakes, with the lowest level being at the Qi Refinement level with a leader at the Heavenly King level *8. Even though the Snake Forest was dangerous, it was also filled with herbs suitable for raising both cultivation and elemental levels. This was what caused many cultivators sometimes to enter the Forest.
Right now, a jet-black-haired handsome youth was no other than Lin Chen, hovering above the Snake Forest with a complicated expression.
"Is it really here?" Lin Chen asked.
[That's right, sir, here is a Golden Blood Serpent that almost evolved into a Dragon]
"Dragon? Is it possible for a snake to become a dragon?" asked Lin Chen.
[Of course. But not all snakes can evolve]
"Then why did you send me to the Snake Forest?" asked Lin Chen, looking around.
[After evolving, the Golden Blood Snake will enter the Peak Heavenly Emperor stage. If the master kills and refines his blood essence, then the master's strength will increase significantly]
Lin Chen, who heard the explanation about increasing his strength, greatly excited himself. He immediately flew around above the Snake Forest.
10 minutes later…
"Where is the snake?!" said Lin Chen annoyed.
[Master can use master consciousness coupled with Dragon God Seal aura then the master can find it easily]
"..." Lin Chen's lips twitched at Xue Ying's explanation of his system. "Why didn't you tell me?!" Lin Chen asked, annoyed.
[Master doesn't ask]
"…"
"After changing worlds, Xue Ying became annoying", Lin Chen muttered in annoyance.
…
Lin Chen closed his eyes and added the aura from his Dragon God body to search for the Golden Blood Snake.
After reaching Heavenly King, Lin Chen's consciousness exceeded 500 meters, coupled with his Dragon God aura.
It didn't take long for Lin Chen to open his eyes slowly with a look of irritation and anger but also embarrassment.
"Damn it. It turned out that he was hiding inside the Mountain in front of my eyes!" he shouted.
Lin Chen flew towards the mountain, but only half did he stop when he sensed the change in the weather around him. Black clouds began to billow above the Golden Blood Snake's hideout Mountain, and the other snakes under the Mountain began to drift away from the black cloud, which was quite distressing.
"Th-This. Evolution? Do I kill now? Or later after evolving? If I kill it after evolving its strength will it be at the Peak Heavenly Emperor level. But if you kill now, the experience points you gain are too few," said Lin Chen, frowning in thought.
"Okay, we'll kill it later," he said, hitting his palm.
…
Lightning flashes began to appear, and the aura emitted began to double. Of course, the pressure exerted had no impact on Lin Chen. Apart from his cultivation level, he also activated the Dragon God Seal to strengthen his body.
Zzzttt…
Zzzttt…
Duarr…
BOOM…
Thunder began to strike the mountain peak, but strangely the mountain peak didn't shatter but penetrated the ground.
ROARRR…
Shhh…
I could hear the hiss of a snake from within the mountain.
DUARR…
BOOM…
Thunder began to strike with more explosive power than before. This time the strike caused the mountain peak to shatter, revealing a room beneath which was a large snake with golden scales.
The golden scaly snake flew high into the sky, tilting its head upwards as if to challenge Thunder to snatch it.
Duarr…
BOOM…
Thunder again grabbed the golden-scaled snake, but instead of getting hurt. This time absorbed the thunder into the golden-scaled snake's body, and it didn't take long for the thunder to be absorbed into its body. After it absorbed Thunder's essence, legs began to grow on its body, accompanied by whiskers and horns. SUCCESSFUL EVOLUTION.
After 3 times, Thunder strikes the golden-scaled snake three times, and the black clouds begin to fade, revealing a clear blue sky with the sun in the centre.
Lin Chen, who saw the success of the serpent revolution succeed without a word Lin Chen unleashed his strongest attack, the Sword of Judgment.
Shows…
The greatsword flew from Lin Chen's face towards the Golden Blood Snake, which had now evolved into a Dragon. The dragon that sensed the foreign energy approaching it dodged quickly, but alas.
Slashes…
Neatly cut off one dragon leg, and golden blood began to pour out from the severed leg.
The dragon with his leg cut off was annoyed and looked around anxiously. However, as his gaze fixed on Lin Chen, the Dragon revealed a sly smile.
"It turns out that only a small mouse is disturbing," said the Dragon quietly but filled with a killing aura.
"Even though it's a mouse, it can cut a cat's paw," Lin Chen replied casually.
"You!… Just lucky rotten brat! Attack me on my guard!" shouted the Dragon that echoed throughout the forest area.
A scream sent birds flying, wild animals ran, and snakes began to hide in holes. Humans who were looking for herbal plants were quickly drifting away.
Swoosh…
Duck…
BOOM…
The Dragon tail struck the unfocused Lin Chen. It flew off like a bullet hitting the ground hard, making a pretty deep hole with Lin Chen in the middle.
"Cough... I didn't think the tail blow was strong enough," he muttered while wiping the blood on the corner of his lips.
Swoosh…
Lin Chen arrived in front of the Dragon at such a high speed that the Dragon was shocked because even though the Dragon had a high cultivation level, their speed was the same, surpassing it. The Dragon didn't know that if Lin Chen used his Dragon God Seal, it could make Lin Chen's body strength soar to the level of Nirvana.
"Now it's my turn," said Lin Chen landing a punch on the Dragon's head.
BOOM…
The Golden Blood Serpent that had evolved into a Dragon shot swiftly into the Mountain with a bang, resulting in a sizable hole with cobweb-shaped cracks.
"Y-You… How could it be so strong. Our levels are so different-" he didn't have time to finish his sentence.
BOOM
The dragon was hit again by Lin Chen's blow, causing the mountain to crumble. The dragon's appearance began to fall apart, and the scales on its head began to fall off with golden blood flowing.
"You! Human bastard! Die you"
"Dragon's Roar"
Qi energy began to gather in front of the Dragon's open mouth, forming a sizable ball of dazzling gold colour.
Swoosh…
BOOM
The attack hit Lin Chen and smashed into the Mountain opposite him, leaving a huge hole in which the surrounding trees flew up to be ripped from their roots.
"Hahaha… Die you rotten human!" Dragon's laughter boomed.
"Really?" said Lin Chen casually.
The dragon was surprised to hear Lin Chen's voice, and it tried to fly away without thinking. But unfortunately, his tail was held firmly by Lin Chen.
"Do not run. We haven't played enough yet," said Lin Chen while swinging the Dragon's tail.
"Smackdown!" shouted Lin Chen throwing the Dragon to the ground with a bang.
Seeing his enemy fall on his back, Lin Chen quickly jumped up and then plunged into the Dragon's belly.
"Cough"
The dragon hit by Lin Chen's violent stomp caused it to faint. Without a second thought, Lin Chen jumped up and touched the Dragon's forehead with his hand, which had been imbued with the Dragon God Seal's Qi.
After touching it for a moment, Lin Chen anxiously drew out the golden-coloured blood essence and stored it in a jade bottle.
Lin Chen looked back at the Dragon in front of him and said quietly. "Sorry, you may have waited a long time to evolve. But I also need to increase my strength to protect those around me," said Lin Chen swinging his Qi-coated hand towards the Dragon's neck.
Slashes…
[Ding~ Slaying, a Peak Heavenly Emperor-level Beast, gains 10,000,000 Experience Points and 1,000,000 System Points]
Lin Chen was satisfied with his income from killing the evolved Golden Blood Snake.
"Yi'er. Why is this Dragon in front of me so weak?" asked Lin Chen in astonishment.
[The dragon that master killed is a fake Dragon, not a pure Dragon. A pure dragon at birth is already at the Saint stage if the master fights a pure Dragon. With just 1 finger master can be killed]
"…"
