An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Tina, Xiao Ze and Bryce decided to leave for the Dragon Court with the aim of "borrow money" in order to fix the Starfire Battleship that An Lin got in the West Sea.

However coincidentally they arrived at a time when the Dragon Court was preparing to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Dragon Tribe, on Heavenly Dragon Island.

Unexpectedly An Lin's group discovered that Heavenly Dragon Island was actually the divine mountain on the back of the mythological beast Ba Xia.

However, only Dragon Tribe members could enter the divine mountain, so Dragon Court cultivators were able to enter easily, as did Xiao Ze who is a member of the Primordial Dragon Tribe and Xu Xiaolan who has the dual bloodline of Phoenix and Dragon what made her eligible, however, what shocked everyone was that An Lin also managed to enter the divine mountain where the worship ceremony of the ancestors of the Dragon Tribe was held.

When everyone was shocked by this development, even An Lin himself, Ba Xia explained that the true name of the divine mountain was Dragon Turtle Divine Mountain, and since An Lin had obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Turtle Tribe, he was obviously eligible to participate.

Finally, after paying homage to the Dragon Tribe ancestor, everyone left for the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm to pass the trials and increase their strength.

## Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm

The Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm was actually the place where the Dragon Tribe was situated in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm!

The Ancient Tai Chu Realm was open once every century for a duration of a month.

However, the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm was a little special. To put it more accurately, it was a backdoor the Dragon Tribe ancestors had opened for their successors. It would be opened once every five years for a duration of two days at a time.

This area was extremely far away from the Void Star Section of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm and was maintained by a monstrously powerful formation so that even Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures who had attained the power of the divine dao could enter and not suffer any backlashes.

However, it would be a grave mistake to think that this was some sort of paradise.

On the contrary, this was a place that was fraught with peril!

It was a brutal battlefield for the Dragon Tribe powerful beings from the Western Dragon Forest, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas, and the evil dragons of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm!

This place was cursed by a certain power of law.

If a Dragon Tribe cultivator slew another Dragon Tribe cultivator here, they would be able to absorb some of the slain Dragon Tribe cultivator’s power and could even improve their cultivation base as a result.

According to Bei Lian, her sixth sister, Ao Yuetang, was at the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage when she last went in, and she had progressed to the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage upon her return two days later! This was simply an astounding rate of growth.

It was exactly because of this that the Dragon Tribe powerful beings still flocked to the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm, even though it was an extremely perilous place.

In this world, they would either reap massive rewards or become fertilizer for other Dragon Tribe cultivators.

### Situation of Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm

After all members of Dragon Court and An Lin's group entered the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm, they were all teleported to random locations and had to quickly start their battles to increase the dragon's power in their bodies and consequently improve their bases of the cultivation.

The lizard dragon of the Western Dragon Forest, the evil dragons of the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm, and the Eastern dragons of the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas. These were the three main powers within this Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm.

However, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas was the weakest among these three.

Even though the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures were unable to enter this world, there was no cap on the number of Return to Void Stage mighty figures that could enter this place. Furthermore, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas had the least number of Return to Void Stage mighty figures here.

In order to avoid becoming sustenance for their enemies, most of the powerful beings from the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas chose to hide in the shadows and bide their time to wait for the best opportunities to strike.

### Lending a hand to the Dragon Court

After realizing that after entering the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm everyone was teleported to random locations, An Lin's first priority was to find Xu Xiaolan as quickly as possible, as strong as she is if she was unlucky enough to find an mighty figure of the Return to Void Final Stage, she would end up being killed.

In the midst of his search An Lin ended up finding Ao Mingyu who was in a desperate battle to avenge his partner dao who had been killed by an evil dragon from the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, however he was clearly unable to demand revenge for himself because he was very weak and was slowly being tortured by his enemy.

Seeing how desperate Ao Mingyu was An Lin decided to intervene and allowed him to get his revenge by killing with his own hands the murderer of his partner dao. However seeing this An Lin felt more and more urgent to find Xu Xiaolan.

After searching for Xu Xiaolan for a while without success, An Lin decided to eliminate all possible threats to her in the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm.

Coincidentally An Lin encountered a brutal and destructive battle between a western dragon on the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage and an evil dragon on the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage. When the fight was about to end, An Lin unleashed a terrible attack, obliterating the two at the same time.

However what he did not know was that the legendary figure of the Dragon Court, Ao Yuetang was lurking close to the battle of the two dragons in order to deliver the final deadly blow, but what she achieved in the end was to be hit by the repercussion of the attack of An Lin.

After realizing who she was and what her goal was, An Lin gave him a moral lesson, about only the fractions deal the death blow and doing so is extremely disrespectful to life and its opponents, however he forgot that he himself always did that in the past.

After saying goodbye to Ao Yuetang, An Lin continued his search for Xu Xioalan, while eliminating the possible threats to Xu Xiaolan's security that he encountered along the way.

At one point An Lin felt the power of the divine dao spread in his direction, it was the repercussion of the battle of two Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures. An immediately hid his aura when he approached the battle.

He was determined to land the killing blow, totally forgetting what he had said to Ao Yuetang. However he cannot be blamed for doing this, as mighty figures at this level were still powerful enough to hurt or even defeat him, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to attack and face two of them at the same time.

As he approached the battle An Lin realized that one of the opponents was a huge dragon of ice and frost with a wingspan of five kilometers and the other was an old acquaintance of An Lin, the number one flex king of the Dragon Court, Ao Qingyu.

An Lin watched the battle between the two with great interest and realized that the dragon lizard of ice and frost was called Zhuo Ma and possesses a terrifying skill, no matter how he was injured he could reconstructed his body into a shape elementary through the use of his divine domain of ice and frost, which made him similar to a cockroach that refused to die.

Realizing how dangerous this potential enemy could be for Xu Xiaolan, An Lin decided to intervene in Ao Qingyu's fight and help him deal with Zhuo Ma. Initially Ao Qingyu thought that An Lin intended to steal his prey, but how he couldn't do it nothing with An Lin, as he had vowed a vote to his dao heart before, he could only intensify his attacks on Zhuo Ma.

However after chasing him for a while, Zhuo Ma unexpectedly stopped running, but it was not that he had given up on escaping, but that the reinforcements to save him had arrived. The new enemy that just arrived was the Lightning God of the Western Dragon Forest, Zeus.

As his title of Lightning God of the Western Dragon Forest, Zeus was specialized in lightning dao, however when playing with lightning in front of An Lin, he was asked to be humiliated and abused.

After realizing that his lightning strikes were ineffective against An Lin, and could be a mortal danger to himself, he decided to change his strategy and fight head-on against An Lin, as he had a Diamond Divine Body, which made him practically invincible in a hand-to-hand fight.

However, to his surprise his Diamond Divine Body was eventually broken by An Lin, leaving him anxious and angry. In the end An Lin used his Sword Burial Technique in conjunction with the Lightning Amplification Technique and devastated his body, leaving him half dead.

Seeing his reinforcement being defeated so quickly and easily by An Lin, Zhuo Ma didn't think twice and quickly started running again, with Ao Qingyu right behind chasing.

When An Lin was thinking how to take the seriously injured Zeus as a gift for Xu Xiaolan to absorb his dragon power, Xu Xiaolan who had felt the repercussions of An Lin's battle against Zeus arrived on the battlefield and after seeing that she was fine An Lin's concern for her safety was finally raised.

### Xu Xiaolan’s Tribulation Transcendence

After killing and absorbing the dragon power of Zeus, Xu Xiaolan was finally prepared to proceed to the Return to Void Stage, however his transcendence from the tribulation to the Return to Void Stage was quite unique, as most of the time the clouds of tribulation only encompassed an area of about fifty kilometers in radius when someone faced their transcendence of tribulation, but Xu Xiaolan’s tribulation clouds encompassed an area that was at least several hundred kilometers in radius, from then on could be imagine how terrifying his lightning tribulation would be.

However, An Lin was more concerned that someone might hinder Xu Xiaolan's transcendence of tribulation, and to do so he set up a simple spell formation that only had a sound function. Anyone that stepped into this area would be greeted by one sentence: Trespassers will die!

In order to ensure Xu Xiaolan’s safety, An Lin was going to treat anyone who dared to approach this place as an enemy, so there was no chance of them disrupting her tribulation transcendence.

However, the first to invade the spell formation was Ao Qingyu who had previously chased Zhuo Ma, but now had returned in a sad state with Zhuo Ma and the other Lizard Dragon, named Apollo in hot pursuit.

In fact Ao Qingyu had guided these two Lizard Dragons on purpose to An Lin's location, as he knew that An Lin could not back down and let these two dragons hinder the transcendence of Xu Xiaolan's tribulation.

An Lin then brought Zeus's decapitated corpse, using it as a deterrent to make this two lizard dragons retreat, and the effect was particularly effective on Apollo who was already in a panic mode when he saw Zeus's body and retreat without any hesitation taking Zhuo Ma who was feeling extremely harmed for always running away from An Lin and Ao Qingyu.

After successfully frightening the two uninvited guests, An Lin once again focused on the lightning tribulation of Xu Xiaolan, who had just endured the 78th divine lightning strike from his lightning tribulation and as a result his aura became more powerful, in the however, his body was beginning to suffer. However, An Lin had absolute confidence in Xu Xiaolan and knew that it was not the time for him to help her, as she could still endure.

*"The eightieth bolt of lightning tore a massive rift several dozen kilometers in length through the dark clouds, from within which a boundless golden light flashed.*

*Terrifying lightning gathered overhead.*

*From Xu Xiaolan’s eyes, An Lin could see her yearning to take on this bolt of lightning by herself.*

*That’s right, Xu Xiaolan was planning to endure it herself and did not want An Lin to intervene.*

*But An Lin was very concerned!*

*Golden lightning tore through the heavens and descended from the sky, coloring the entire earth golden.*

*An Lin didn’t intervene in the end, and he looked on in silence as the lightning struck Xu Xiaolan.*

*The golden bolt of lightning pierced through the heavens and struck her body.*

*She looked up with not even a single hint of fear in her eyes to welcome the bolt of divine lightning. She was both impossibly tiny yet valiantly courageous at the same time.*

*This instant was like a spectacular snapshot frozen in time, sending An Lin into a slight daze.*

*Boom!*

*The earth within a radius of five kilometers was destroyed by the Golden Void Lightning.*

*The eightieth bolt of Golden Void Lightning dissipated.*

*Xu Xiaolan stood resolutely with her sword in her hand.*

*That’s right, Xu Xiaolan had endured the terrifying bolt of tribulation lightning through her own strength!"*

However when An Lin believed that Xu Xiaolan would be able to successfully advance after facing that terrifying lightning, the eightieth first bolt of lightning mutated after being influenced by the true intentions of Xu Xiaolan's two bloodline, transforming into a the Golden Void Lightning Dragon and a White Golden Void Lightning Vermilion Bird.

Xu Xiaolan immediately turned to An Lin with eyes that were begging for help. She was definitely not going to be able to survive this tribulation lightning on her own, so she was requesting reinforcements.

An Lin without any hesitation came to her aid and held her hand, intending to use the same method as Adam and Eve to share the burden of lightning tribulation with Xu Xiaolan, in addition to using his Lightning Manipulation Technique to control the descent of the bolt of lightning so that she could endure.

When the Golden Void Lightning Dragon descended, it started wreaking havoc on Xu Xiaolan's body, seeing this An Lin immediately asked for help An Kirin in his sea of vital energy, to attract more lightning power to him, thereby Xu Xiaolan was able to withstand the power of the Golden Void Lightning Dragon.

At that moment, a small azure dragon with a pair of pure, golden eyes suddenly appeared around Xu Xiaolan’s body. It was like a guardian spirit protecting its owner as it looked up at the white lightning Vermilion Bird in the sky.

At the most critical moment, the two lizard dragons who had previously escaped appeared once again, with the aim of seizing the opportunity to kill An Lin, as he could not back down or use any external defensive items, as it would disturb would disrupt the Xu Xiaolan's lightning tribulation by making it more powerful and if he let her face the last bolt of lightining alone she would only have less than a 1% chance of surviving.

Without any hesitation Zhuo Ma and Apollo attacked simultaneously and their combined attacks would be quite difficult for An Lin to defend himself even if he was in his peak state, which was not the case after sharing the power of the Golden Void Lightning Dragon with Xu Xiaolan.

When An Lin was preparing to endure the combined attack of the two Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures, the Dragon Court’s number one flex king, Ao Qingyu decided to intervene and used his strongest attack to cut off the combined attack of Zhuo Ma and Apollo, saving An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.

After Ao Qingyu's intervention, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan managed to breathe a little, however the danger had not passed, as Appolo who was in his peak state was responsible for holding Ao Qingyu, while Zhou Ma was in charge of killing An Lin and Xu Xiaolan with a single attack.

While the two felt powerless to change this situation and Zhuo Ma was preparing to attack, a red and white dragon crossed the space before hitting Zhuo Ma in the stomach, avoiding this terrible crisis for An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.

At the same time, the white Vermilion Bird imbued with the purifying power of Heavenly Dao finally descended from the sky, causing damage to the body of Xu Xiaolan who was finding it very difficult to bear.

At this moment, An Kirin did his best to attract the destructive energy flow in Xu Xiaolan's body to An Lin's sea of ​​vital energy with all his strength, but he was not yet fast enough, at that time the white vermilion bird in the An Lin's sea of ​​vital energy, finally made his move and once again took over An Lin's body, just as he took over his body to control his flames during pill refinement.

An extremely powerful suction force originated from An Lin’s hand, sucking away all of the power of the Vermilion Bird divine lightning in Xu Xiaolan’s body at once!

Within his sea of vital energy, the flaming Vermilion Bird grew feathers of white lightning.

At that moment, the divine lightning of the Vermilion Bird disappeared and Xu Xiaolan entered a kind of special meditative state, seeing that she was safe, An Lin can finally get a good look at the red and white dragon that intervened to prevent Zhuo Ma's attack, what he didn't expect is that he was an old acquaintance of his and Xu Xiaolan's, Long Aotian that they met at Winter Dragon Tomb from Shen Yin.

After her advance, she and An Lin went after Zhuo Ma and Apollo to collect the debt for intimidating them when they could not defend themselves, she managed to intercept them and managed to seriously injure Zhuo Ma, in the end she was able to take life from Zhuo Ma, thus making it the tragic first victim of the Retun to Void Stage, Xu Xiaolan.
