Right now, Ryan Ling wasn’t about to hesitate—if he was even a second late and let Big Sister slip away, he’d be losing out big time. If he missed this chance to charge up to ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation, who knows when he’d ever get another!
So, Ryan didn’t even blink—he shot forward, tracking that powerful aura. He had to find Big Sister’s real body, no matter what!
But this Big Sister was already on guard—she instantly shrank her aura!
Ryan kept coming up empty, and he suddenly realized that the deeper he got into the Falling-Star Palace, the more complicated it became—so many obstacles everywhere, it was like wandering into a giant maze!
"Kid, who the hell are you? What kind of person dares to break into the Falling-Star Palace and go up against the Lu Clan?" A voice rang out, and it was clear Big Sister was seriously fired up!
"You talk too damn much!" Ryan gritted his teeth and charged toward the source of the voice.
"Yeah, she should be close by, but it’s weird—her real body hasn’t moved at all. Logically, she should’ve shifted positions!" Celia Xiao sounded puzzled.
"Doesn’t matter, let’s just grab her first!" Ryan wasn’t hesitating for a second—his mind was laser-focused on catching her. Only if he caught her would he have the real shot at leveling up to ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation.
"Good, we’re getting closer—hurry up and push open that giant door!" Celia Xiao didn’t overthink it, just urged Ryan to charge ahead.
Ryan was practically bursting with excitement—he nearly slammed straight into that massive door.
With a deafening crash, the giant door was smashed down. A wave of thick fragrance blasted out—Ryan nearly got knocked out by the smell.
But he didn’t hesitate for a second. In a flash, Ryan dashed inside, searching for Big Sister’s real body.
"Over there!" Celia Xiao yelled. Ryan followed her direction and sure enough, spotted a woman sitting there. Oddly, she was barely dressed, and her whole body seemed to be bound by something—she couldn’t move at all.
"That’s weird!" Ryan froze for a second. It felt like Big Sister was just waiting for him here.
Celia Xiao also paused, but then immediately shouted, "Don’t hesitate—go for it! Drain her dry first, ask questions later!"
"Got it!" Ryan didn’t overthink it. With a treasure like this right in front of him, how could he not go for it?
He rushed straight at her.
"You—you bastard! If you dare touch me, you’ll regret it, you’ll totally regret it!" Big Sister gritted her teeth, still unable to move—she was absolutely furious!
"Only an idiot wouldn’t touch you, haha!" Ryan couldn’t care less—Big Sister’s aura was so intense, he was practically buzzing. If he absorbed it all, he’d have more than enough to break through to ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation.
And with her totally immobilized, it was like a super-sized free lunch—he could scoop it all up without lifting a finger!
Hell yeah!
Ryan didn’t wait a second—he dove right in, eager as hell.
He started sucking her dry like crazy. Waves of late-stage Human Immortal qi surged into Ryan’s body—it felt so insanely intense, he was riding a total high! Ryan could feel his reserves hitting an absolute peak!
"You little bastard, you’ll regret this! Even if I’m a ghost, I’ll kill you—kill you!" Big Sister was so pissed off she was practically exploding, roaring at the top of her lungs.
Ryan didn’t have time for her drama—he just kept draining her qi, and in the blink of an eye, he was totally maxed out!
Time to charge up to ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation!
Everything was falling into place—Ryan had already drained every last drop of power, and his reserves were stacked to the brim. So he just went wild, breaking through right on Big Sister’s belly!
Watching Ryan go all out and start his crazy breakthrough, Celia Xiao—his wifey—was cheering like mad. The whole scene was just off-the-charts intense!
"Go, go, go!" Ryan yelled at the top of his lungs, totally fired up!
Right now, Ryan had the entire Falling-Star Palace and all its troops under his control. Not just the people—even the palace itself was in the palm of his hand. He could break through as boldly as he wanted!
Suddenly, the Heaven-Tribulation aura started skyrocketing!
And the Human Immortal qi inside him was burning like crazy!
This was way stronger than when he broke through to fifth-layer Heaven-Tribulation—Ryan felt absolutely incredible! With eight full strands of Human Immortal qi powering him, his strength was leaping up like crazy, rocketing higher and higher!
Celia Xiao was clapping for Ryan—if he pulled off this breakthrough, he’d be on par with Human Immortals. He could actually stand up to future threats!
Very soon, Ryan’s Heaven-Tribulation power started surging!
With a thunderous boom, seventh-layer Heaven-Tribulation arrived!
His heart skipped a beat—he was so hyped!
But before he could even catch his breath, eighth-layer Heaven-Tribulation hit him right away!
Endless Heaven-Tribulation clouds swirled overhead, all pouring straight into Ryan’s body. He spun with power, feeling more awesome than ever!
It was like the whole universe was rooting for him, lifting him higher!
And right then, the Primeval Heavenwood inside him released a wave of immortal qi, boosting Ryan even more. Before, he couldn’t touch this immortal qi—but now, with ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation right within reach, it was the perfect power-up!
With both Human Immortal qi and immortal qi working together, Ryan finally started charging toward the peak of ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation!
Ryan was so hyped he could barely stand it. He’d thought breaking through to ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation would take at least a year or two—but now, he was already doing it, like it was a freaking dream!
"Hubby, let me give you another boost—go for it!" Celia Xiao was just as excited, shouting loud as ever. A gentle stream of power quickly flowed into Ryan’s body.

"Thanks, wifey!" Ryan was totally pumped. With triple protection stacked up, he was sure he’d hit his peak today!
"Why thank me? Just make sure you treat me right in the future, haha!" Celia Xiao grinned mischievously. Seeing Ryan get lucky with so many women, she was clearly getting antsy herself—she’d been waiting for her turn.
"Don’t worry, I promise!" Ryan nodded instantly. To him, Celia Xiao was basically his savior—he’d happily spoil her three days and nights straight if that’s what she wanted!
And with that, Ryan put all other thoughts aside and charged at the final barrier. Ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation was right in front of him—he could vaguely see a Thunder Gate ahead!
That Thunder Gate was the last hurdle for ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation—if he smashed through it, he’d reach the absolute peak!
Of course, when he goes for Human Immortal in the future, he’ll have to smash through the Immortal Gate too! Same principle!
"Smash that Thunder Gate, hubby—you’ve got this!" Celia Xiao shouted. But even she was a little stunned—Ryan’s Thunder Gate was so massive, way bigger than a normal Immortal Gate. If he ever went for Human Immortal, she couldn’t even imagine how wild it’d be! Maybe he’d be stronger than most Void Immortals!
With a hubby this powerful, who wouldn’t get a little hot and bothered?
Right then, as Celia Xiao was hyping him up, Ryan launched himself at the final barrier!
But just as he charged, he sensed something odd from Big Sister below—a strange aura was swirling around.
Ryan didn’t care at all—at a moment like this, even if the sky was falling, he wouldn’t give a damn!
"Go, go, go!" Ryan roared. The three forces fused inside him, forming an invisible giant hammer in his hands—and he smashed it straight at the Thunder Gate!
With a massive boom, the Thunder Gate cracked wide open. Ryan swung again with a fierce punch.
In an instant, the Thunder Gate collapsed completely. A surge of Heaven-Tribulation power poured down into Ryan’s body, lifting him into the air—every last bit of tribulation cloud power fused right into him!
At that moment, ninth-layer Heaven-Tribulation was finally conquered!
Ryan let out a long breath—he’d finally reached the absolute peak of Heaven-Tribulation…
