At this moment, Su Chen finally broke into a sweat, cold sweat from fright, incredibly thankful.

He remembered that after taking the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill, he directly lost consciousness.

To lose consciousness is the most terrifying thing, equivalent to death!

He thought he was already dead.

"Young boy Su, you almost, almost died. It was Xi and the Thunder Spirit who saved you," Jiuyou spoke.

"Thank you." Su Chen was somewhat touched, realizing what had happened.

"Big Brother, feel your body," Xi said, faintly excited and enthusiastic.

Su Chen instinctively sensed.

Then.

He widened his eyes.

"What the...!!!" Su Chen cursed harshly, mouth agape, stunned.

The effect of the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill, is it this exaggerated?

He... he is now at the Human Lord Eighth Level Realm.

Previously, he was only at the Human Lord Realm First Level!

And now at the Human Lord Eighth Level?

Not only that, utilizing all methods, his pure strength reached one thousand six hundred Chaotic Forces.

Before, it was only one thousand Chaotic Forces.

Did it improve by two-thirds in one go?

Moreover, his body defense power seems to have more than doubled, so now he can withstand the storm in the Matriarch River Rear Section without suffering any storm damage. With just body defense power, he can resist any attack below the Divine Lord Realm, isn’t that terrifying? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

In addition, Su Chen felt that the Zhan Cang, the Zhan Cang Sword, has... has... has become several times stronger!!!

"What’s with Zhan Cang?" Su Chen was puzzled.

"Big Brother, the medicine power of the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill is too terrifying. Even as mighty as you are, you only absorbed seventy percent; the remaining thirty percent was wasted, too bad. So, under Sister Jiuyou’s suggestion, it was given to the Zhan Cang Sword. The Zhan Cang Sword did not disappoint; it greatly improved due to that thirty percent medicine power," Xi said with a smile.

"Hahahaha... great! Great!! Great!!!" Su Chen laughed heartily, feeling truly ecstatic.

Isn’t this an overwhelming harvest?

The Di Family is the wealth-bringing child among wealth-bringing children!

With this Di Family trip, overall, his strength has already increased a hundred times over!

All the good things he obtained from his previous trips to ruins and secret realms combined aren’t as valuable as this trip to the Di Family.

The Di Family, really kind folks!

"Young boy Su, alright, calm down, quickly gather the Crystals of the Mother River; there are millions of them in the Matriarch River Rear Section," Jiuyou reminded.

Su Chen’s eyes lit up, licking his lips.

The Crystal of the Mother River is absolutely a good thing.

Furthermore, the effectiveness and purity of these rear section Crystals of the Mother River simply cannot be compared to those from the middle segment.

In the next moment.

Su Chen stood up.

Moving swiftly, he traversed within the Matriarch River Rear Section.

Quickly gathering the Crystals of the Mother River.

Every time he collected a thousand pieces, he absorbed once.

Continuing to rapidly enhance his strength.

Before, Su Chen never thought increasing strength could be so, so, so easy.

Same words again, the Di Family, very kind folks!

A few days later.

"Finally absorbed all the Crystals of the Mother River from the rear section," Su Chen grinned widely.

Absorbed a total of seven million four hundred twenty-three thousand plus pieces from the rear section of the Mother River.

And what harvest did he gain?

Realm, straight to Divine Lord!!!

Half-Step Divine Lord.

This is Su Chen!

Not anyone else.

Su Chen possesses the incredible ability to outclass fight.

At the Tao Realm, Su Chen could insta-kill those at the Human Lord Fifth to Sixth Layers, and now, Su Chen has reached the Half-Step Divine Lord Level.

One can only imagine how crazy this is.

"All methods employed, pure strength reached two thousand five hundred Chaotic Forces."

"Body defense power should be able to ignore the full force attack of the Divine Lord First Level Peak Phase and also ignore the full force attack of a Spirit Imperial Weapon."

"Divine Mansion reached the peak of Chaos Divine Mansion Fourth Turn, just a bit away from Fifth Turn."

...

Anyway, the harvest is unimaginably huge.

"Under Divine Lord Fifth Level, all are instantly killed," Su Chen mumbled to himself, full of confidence.

"Even against Divine Lord Sixth or Seventh Level, I have the power to fight."

"However, the pity is, now, at most, I can surpass eight to nine minor realms in level," Su Chen suddenly felt a bit regretful.

Previously, at the Tao Realm, he could surpass dozens of realms, instantly killing those at Human Lord Fifth to Sixth Level. That kind of surpassing level ability was incredibly terrifying.

But now? He is at Half-Step Divine Lord, yet can only fight against Divine Lord Sixth to Seventh Level at most. The surpassing level ability has decreased significantly!

"Young boy Su, you are simply..." Jiuyou almost wanted to kill: "You really don’t understand anything. I’ve said, at the Divine Lord Level, that’s the mainstream realm in the Grand Cosmos World. In this situation, surpassing seven to eight minor realms in level carries more weight than surpassing thirty or even fifty minor realms before, understand?"

Without giving Su Chen the chance to speak, Jiuyou continued: "Do you know at the Divine Lord Level, how much power gap is there between minor realm differences? It’s several tens to hundreds of times difference. Let me put it this way, in the Grand Cosmos World, those who can outclass fight are as rare as hen’s teeth. Usually, if a martial cultivator in the Grand Cosmos World can defeat someone at the Mid Stage while being at the Early Stage of Divine Lord First Level, then they are a super genius!!! Do you understand?!"

Still feeling it wasn’t clear enough, Jiuyou couldn’t help but cuss: "Young boy Su, in the Grand Cosmos World, a minor realm difference represents the gap between master and servant, the distance between genius and trash. You --- up can surpass eight to nine minor realms and still feel it’s lacking, I’m really..."

Jiuyou directly burst into profanity.

The exasperated look seemed like she was about to lose control.

"Ahem ahem, is that so? Then not bad. I didn’t understand the Grand Cosmos World," Su Chen bitterly smiled. After Jiuyou’s scolding, he felt comfortable; it seems his outclass fighting ability is still impressively strong, isn’t it?

"Alright, enough flaunting, quickly search for the Heart of the Mother River, Fei Jin is waiting for you. Only a few days left until her wedding with the Young Master of the Hu Family." Jiuyou snorted.

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Chen chuckled, sweet-talking, as Jiuyou’s little temper flared up, very princely indeed.

——————

Imperial Realm.

Back mountain.

Jinxian Pavilion.

"Iceflame, tell me, even if Su Chen can save me this time. What next?" Ah, women! Always prone to overthinking. Even Di Deijin couldn’t escape this fate, especially now being trapped within Jinxian Pavilion!

Fortunately, more than half a month ago, the Iceflame Vermilion Bird returned to her side.

"Fei Jin, you need to trust your man. Su Chen, that boy, is pretty reliable."

"If the Soul-Locking Pill can’t be undone, I..." Di Deijin’s beautiful face showed a trace of bitterness: "How can I accompany Su Chen to the Grand Cosmos World, how can I be with him to break through the Flame Plane and find his origins?"
