Xiao Chen sat cross-legged within the lightning dragon. Countless bolts of lightning constantly struck Xiao Chen. In response, Xiao Chen did not move at all. Instead, he forcefully received all the bolts of lightning. Xiao Chen sat cross-legged within the lightning dragon. Countless bolts of lightning constantly struck Xiao Chen.

The heavenly lightning was not only a test for Xiao Chen; it was also a test for him to stabilize his recent breakthrough. If he was able to withstand it, then his cultivation would be stabilized very quickly, and he would no longer be as weak as when he had just made his breakthrough.
Xiao Chen could be said to have made ample preparations for the Ancestor Stage Heavenly Punishment.
As time passed, the lightning dragon gradually became unstable. The power of lightning within its body was also constantly devoured, absorbed and refined by Xiao Chen.
About an hour later, Xiao Chen had successfully absorbed the last trace of the power of the heavenly thunder. The thunder dragon had completely disappeared at that moment, and the thick heavenly might in the sky began to slowly dissipate at the same time.
As expected, Xiao Chen perfectly withstood his Ancestor Stage Heavenly Punishment. When the Heavenly Punishment dissipated, Xiao Chen stood up and took a step forward. His figure instantly appeared in front of Ning Shuang.
Originally, Ning Shuang had been bitterly holding on. Because Xiao Chen began to undergo the Heavenly Punishment, the expert from the Devil Abyss who fought with Xiao Chen directly targeted Ning Shuang.
His idea was very simple. He wanted to take advantage of the time Xiao Chen was undergoing the Heavenly Punishment to join forces with the other expert from the Devil Abyss to take down Ning Shuang. At that time, even if Xiao Chen broke through to the Ancestor Stage, they could still take him down with their combined strength.
Unfortunately, Ning Shuang's strength was stronger than he had imagined. As a result, the two of them were unable to take him down immediately.
In terms of direct combat power, Ning Shuang might not be too strong among the nine Palace Masters of the Nine Palaces above the Clouds. However, Ning Shuang's movement technique was the most outstanding among the nine Palace Masters. Relying on the advantage of her movement technique, Ning Shuang was able to contend with the two.
Until now, Xiao Chen had successfully passed the Heavenly Punishment, but the two of them were still unable to defeat Ning Shuang.
With a slash of his sword, he directly forced back the Demon Abyss expert who had been fighting with him earlier. After breaking through to the Ancestor stage, Xiao Chen's strength had naturally increased tremendously. In the face of Xiao Chen's slash, the Demon Abyss expert's expression immediately sunk. Without any hesitation, he chose to withdraw.
Compared to when Xiao Chen was at the half-step Ancestor stage, the Demon Abyss expert was clearly much more cautious. It couldn't be helped. When Xiao Chen was at the half-step Ancestor stage, Xiao Chen was already stronger than him. Now that Xiao Chen had truly broken through to the Ancestor stage and become a genuine Ancestor stage expert, he naturally didn't dare to be careless.
After forcing the Demon Abyss expert back with a slash of his sword, Ning Shuang coldly said. "Why are you so slow?"
One could hear the slight complaint in Ning Shuang's voice. After all, Ning Shuang had indeed shouldered a lot of pressure during the period when he had broken through to the Ancestor stage. In response, Xiao Chen did not say anything. Instead, he looked towards the Demon Abyss expert and said with a smile.
"This is a fair fight. Honestly speaking, I am under a lot of pressure when fighting someone of a higher cultivation level."
Xiao Chen's words were filled with great confidence. Previously, when he fought the Demon Abyss Ancestor stage expert with his half-step Ancestor stage cultivation, although they appeared to be evenly matched, the pressure was indeed very great. This was something that Xiao Chen did not deny.
However, now that he had successfully broken through to the Ancestor stage, the situation was clearly different. Compared to when he was at the half-step Ancestor stage, his strength had definitely increased tremendously.
In response to Xiao Chen's words, the Demon Abyss expert's face turned gloomy. However, he did not say anything and directly threw a punch towards Xiao Chen.
Regardless of whether Xiao Chen had broken through to the Ancestor stage, the Demon Abyss expert would obviously not back down. Regardless of how powerful Xiao Chen was, Mo Lin was determined to kill Lin Yun and the rest. Hence, he could only fight to the death.
In the face of the Demon Abyss expert's attack, Xiao Chen did not have any intention of dodging. He directly slashed out with his sword and the two attacks collided violently. This time around, the head-on collision was clearly different from the previous one.
Previously, although Xiao Chen was able to remain undefeated, to be honest, Xiao Chen had almost always been at a disadvantage in every head-on collision.
However, this time around, Xiao Chen did not seem to be at a disadvantage in the head-on collision. It could be said that the two of them were now evenly matched.
Seeing the changes, Xiao Chen became more confident. On the other hand, the Demon Abyss expert was in a bad spot. When he was at the half-step Ancestor stage, he could not take down Xiao Chen. Now that Xiao Chen had successfully broken through to the Ancestor stage, it was obviously more difficult to take him down.
In the head-on collision, neither of them gained an advantage. At this time, Xiao Chen also took the initiative to attack the Demon Abyss expert.
The Dustless Sword in his hand slashed out and a blood-red sword light flashed past. In response, the Demon Abyss expert's eyelids twitched unconsciously. The power was much stronger than before.
Feeling depressed in his heart, the Demon Abyss expert also knew that he had missed the best opportunity to kill Xiao Chen. Before Xiao Chen broke through, that was the best opportunity to kill Xiao Chen.
However, this Demon Abyss expert could not be blamed. After all, it was not that he did not want to kill Xiao Chen, but that he did not have the ability to do so. If he had the ability to kill Xiao Chen, he would not have waited until Xiao Chen broke through to the Ancestor stage.
He had completely missed the best opportunity to kill Xiao Chen. It would be extremely difficult for him to kill Xiao Chen now. Furthermore, if the two of them were to fight to the death right now, it was unknown whether or not the Demonic Abyss cultivator could remain undefeated.
They had just exchanged blows, but the Demon Abyss expert already felt an enormous pressure. It was completely different from before. Every attack of Xiao Chen's made the Demon Abyss expert feel an enormous pressure.
Killing Xiao Chen was no longer realistic. Even remaining undefeated was very difficult. If it were not for the many Great Devil World cultivators around, which distracted Xiao Chen, it was likely that the result would be very difficult to predict.
Under the immense pressure, the difference in strength between the two seemed to have been completely reversed at this moment.
Just a breakthrough had allowed Xiao Chen's strength to rise so much. The Demon Abyss expert's guess was not wrong. When Xiao Chen was at the half-step Ancestor stage, he already had a battle strength comparable to an Ancestor stage expert. After truly breaking through to the Ancestor stage, his battle strength had almost reached the peak of the Ancestor stage.
Without giving the Demon Abyss expert any time to breathe, Xiao Chen attacked continuously, gradually suppressing the Demon Abyss expert. This was something that had never happened before.
However, just as Xiao Chen and the Demon Abyss expert were engaged in a fierce battle, Ning Shuang received a message from Lin Yun. She directly told Ning Shuang and Xiao Chen to prepare to retreat. Ning Shuang naturally had no objection to this.
