Chapter 1668 — Chapter 1668 Courting Death

"How long has he been training here?" Long Meihui asked.

"It'll be two months tomorrow." Long Yejun said.

"Did he start from level two?" "No, he started from level one."

"What?! He went from level one to level three in two months?! That's impossible!" Long Meihui exclaimed, her face filled with disbelief.

The Baneful Dragon smiled and said, "Then you'll definitely not believe this, but he came here right after conquering my Poisonous Swamp in just a month."

"WHAT?!"

Long Meihui snapped her head to look at the Baneful Dragon with eyes as wide as saucers.

"That's literally impossible! Even Elder Sister hasn't conquered the Poisonous Swamp! And you're telling me he's managed to do just that in a month?!"

Long Yejun chuckled at her reaction, "It's true. I was there from the beginning."

"That's…" Long Meihui fell silent with a dazed expression on her face.

In the blink of an eye, two more months passed.

After advancing his lightning resistance, Yuan entered the third level with his entire body and walked straight to the border of level three and level four.

However, when he tried sticking an arm in level four, Yuan was pleasantly surprised to see his lightning resistance increase, and his arm hadn't been obliterated, only burnt.

Of course, it was unfathomably painful. Even though it was only his arm getting struck, he felt the pain throughout his entire body.

'No pain, no gain!'

After mentally preparing himself, Yuan walked into the fourth level, shocking the onlookers.

"He's going straight into level four this time!"

"How bold!"

"No matter how many times I see it, his regenerative ability still shocks me… Is he an Undying Dragon?"

"Most likely."

Time continued to swiftly pass, and another three months have passed.

By now, Yuan has spent seven months in the Sky Splitting Dragon's Tribulation. If the cultivators in the Nine Heavens knew that he'd managed to start creating his Heavenly Physique in such little time, not even the heavens could predict their reaction.

Even the most talented cultivators required centuries, if not millenniums, of rigorous training to attain the Incomplete Heavenly Physique, but Yuan had managed to achieve it in a little over half a year.

However, the Incomplete Heavenly Physique was just the beginning, as he still had to advance it a few more times to achieve the completed Heavenly Physique.

[Progress: 25%]

Yuan went to stick an arm into the fifth level shortly after.

When he confirmed that he was able to survive the lightning strikes, he entered the fifth level with his entire body.

"Level five in seven months! I don't think anyone is going to beat this record!" The onlookers could feel their bodies trembling in excitement.

"If he continues at this pace, he'll reach level nine before the Dragon God Festival!"

However, to the onlooker's shock, Yuan increased his pace, and just a month later, he began walking toward the sixth level.

[Progress: 50%]

When he entered the sixth level and was bombarded with silver-colored lightning strikes, Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find out that he was enduring the lightning strikes with relative ease.

Thus, he made a bold move and went into the seventh level after testing the waters with an arm.

"He's already at level seven?!"

The seventh level unleashed torrents of black-colored lightning strikes, each bolt as thick as a tree trunk, crashing down with immense power and fury.

Although he was able to endure the seventh level, each lightning strike was powerful enough to almost completely erase his existence.

Ding!

[Courting Death]

[Description: The holder of this title has faced the brink of death countless times. All sources of healing will be 1,000% more effective.]

After receiving his new title, Yuan's regeneration became even more powerful.

"Is it just me, or is he regenerating even faster now?"

"You noticed it, too?"

The onlookers did not miss this detail.

By now, the entire Sky Splitting Dragon's Tribulation was filled to the brim with onlookers, all of them watching with anticipation for the moment Yuan conquers the training ground.

In fact, even the Sky Splitting Dragon himself was present to witness history being made.

"Took you long enough to show up, Lightning Dragon Monarch." Long Yejun said as he looked at the handsome, bulky man approaching their group.

"I had to confirm the rumors—that someone had reached the seventh level from the first level in under a year. Is it true?"

"It is very much true." Long Meihui said.

The Sky Splitting Dragon looked around and asked, "Where's the Unrivaled Tyrant? I thought she'd be here as well."

"I haven't seen her since she entered the Void Vortex two million years ago." Long Yejun said.

"But she should be returning soon for the Dragon God Festival." Long Meihui continued.

The Baneful Dragon shuddered at the thought and sighed, "If only she never returned…"

Time continued to pass, and it has been ten months since Yuan entered the Sky Splitting Dragon's Tribulation.

Ding!

Yuan had finally acquired the Heavenly Physique after ten gruesome months of training. However, even after acquiring the highly coveted Heavenly Physique, his progress only went up to 90 percent.

[Progress: 90%]

'I guess there's one more stage beyond the Heavenly Physique…'

With that thought in mind, Yuan began approaching the eighth level, where golden-colored lightning strikes poured heavier than rain in a storm.

"He's heading for level eight!" The onlookers swallowed nervously as they watched Yuan step into the eighth level after making sure he could endure it.
