"My Lord Dragon God, danger..." Meinhart shouted, hurrying toward the entrance to the 100x gravity zone, only to watch the round door slam shut right as he reached it.

Some people prefer to enter absolute seclusion, trapping themselves in desperate situations to force their potential to emerge. To facilitate this, the doors to the 1x and 200x gravity zones were fitted with magical seals that could only be opened from the inside; opening them from the outside was incredibly difficult.

Seeing the door close, Meinhart’s face instantly turned ashen.

He retreated quickly to Xiao Zhao’s side and cried out anxiously, "Lord Dragon God has entered the 1x gravity zone! Go quickly and tell the Great Elder..."

Xiao Zhao was already paralyzed with fear. She had personally experienced the pressure within the gravity zones. Lord Dragon God, with only the cultivation of a Third-Rank Dou Zun, rushing into the 1x zone would surely result in him being crushed to death by the pressure.

Frantically, she pulled off a magic implement hanging from her chest, channeled her mana through her fingertips, and instantly released a sharp, piercing cry. The sound sliced through the sky like a series of emergency sirens.

"Swish, swish..." In less than five minutes, the Great Elder and the others arrived, flying swiftly.

"What has happened?" Long Yi’s snow-white beard trembled incessantly in the wind.

"Reporting to the Great Elder..." Meinhart stammered due to his anxiety, "Lord Dragon God... he entered the 1x gravity zone!"

"What?" Long Yi roared, his face instantly turning ashen, and he shot down from the air like a bolt of lightning.

The two remaining elders stood behind Long Yi, looking anxious and unsure what to do.

"What do we do? The 100x gravity zone is a place suited for cultivation only by those at the mid-stage Saint Domain realm. We all know Lord Dragon God's cultivation—only a Third-Rank Dou Zun. Rushing in there, I fear he might already be..." Long Yi grew frantic. They had just found the Dragon God, and now this problem arose.

"Smash it open!" the Second Elder declared. "Saving Lord Dragon God is most important. The magic door can be rebuilt later."

"Good!" Long Yi exchanged a look with the Third Elder, and both nodded in agreement.

A broken magic door could be rebuilt, but if anything happened to Lord Dragon God, the guilt would be immense.

The three stood before the magic door, and a dazzling white light simultaneously blossomed in their palms. The light struck the magic wall like lightning.

"Boom..." With a deafening roar, cracks appeared on the magic wall, and it instantly vanished.

The three slipped through ghost-like and entered the gravity zone. Just as they prepared to save him, they witnessed a scene that left them utterly stunned.

The room of the 100x gravity zone was about the size of two basketball courts. Chen Feng pushed off the ground with both feet, leaping seven or eight meters into the air. He flipped nimbly in mid-air and then stomped hard on the ground!

"Bang..." With a crisp sound, he shot from one side of the zone to the other.

"Lord Dragon God..." The three elders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock. A Third-Rank Dou Zun was not only fine within the 100x zone—he seemed... as comfortable as if he were in his own backyard. The power of the gravity zone appeared to have little effect on him...

This was a place meant for those at the mid-stage Saint Domain realm. Even they required three to five months to adapt and move normally, yet Lord Dragon God looked as if he didn't even notice the intense gravity...

"Why are you all here?" Chen Feng stopped and looked at the three.

"Lord Dragon God... did you... not feel anything wrong?" Long Yi forced down the shock in his heart before finally asking.

"Wrong?" Chen Feng paused and replied, "If you say there is a problem, there actually is one..."

Hearing there was a problem, the faces of the three elders instantly turned green. They rushed forward, shouting, "Come out quickly! I'll use light magic to heal you..."

"Heal? Heal what?" Chen Feng did not understand what they meant.

"Didn't you say there was a problem?"

"Oh, my problem is that the gravity here is too weak. I think I should go train in the 200x zone, otherwise, it won't improve my physical cultivation much!" Chen Feng replied casually.

"..." The three of them.

When Chen Feng was a Fourth-Rank Dou Shi, he could run swiftly within the 10x gravity zone carrying hundreds of pounds of Black Gold Iron. Now, his cultivation had reached the Dou Zun level, his physique had been tempered by the blood of both the Flame Dragon and the Fire Phoenix, and it was further nourished by the power of faith. His physical strength had reached an extremely terrifying realm.

It must be known that the power of faith was something only divine-level experts could utilize; even someone as strong as the Great Elder could not use it. Chen Feng could absorb it only due to the special abilities of the crystal ball and his inherent Flame Dragon bloodline. If his mental perception had increased fivefold, his physique naturally would have as well!

After his physical strength increased, he returned to his residence to study the Flame Dragon Notes, and then went to the Dragon Transformation Pool. Thus, Chen Feng himself hadn't had time to fully consider just how powerful this strength had become.

The first time he entered the 10x gravity zone, he found it posed no challenge, which is why he proceeded to the 100x zone. He never expected that even the 100x zone would no longer be difficult for him.

Meinhart and the others breathed a collective sigh of relief when they saw Chen Feng emerge safely from the 100x gravity zone. As long as the Dragon God was fine...

However, before they could fully relax, they saw Chen Feng turn and stride purposefully into the 200x gravity zone...

This time, however, the Great Elder and the others did not try to stop him. They let him walk in slowly and closed the magic door.

"What... what is going on?" Everyone stood frozen in place.

"Go back, all of you. Xiao Zhao, you wait by the door. If Lord Dragon God comes out, let me know!" Long Yi commanded.

Xiao Zhao replied, pointing a finger at the 200x gravity zone entrance while speaking anxiously, "Lord Dragon God he..."

"Lord Dragon God is fine; he is cultivating inside!" Long Yi finished, then flew away with the Second and Third Elders.

"Cultivating?" Meinhart and the others finally understood, a sense of shock washing over them. "Cultivating in the 200x gravity zone... Is Lord Dragon God truly only a Third-Rank Dou Zun?"

.......................................................

Chen Feng was completely unaware of the immense shock his entry into this zone caused the others; even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have cared.

He was currently immersed in the tempering of his physical body.

Although his physique was incomparably strong, under the 200x gravity, it was still beginning to strain. Under the enormous pressure, his entire body felt bloated, and his mind was dizzy, feeling as if he could suffocate at any moment.

Although the difference between the 100x and 200x zones was only a factor of one, it felt like a chasm, much like the saying, "the last straw that breaks the camel's back." When a person reaches their limit, even a twofold increase in gravity becomes unbearable.

Chen Feng had moved and jumped normally in the 100x zone, but upon entering here, everything changed. His face flushed red, and he was pressed flat against the ground, unable to stand up.

"Hold on. It was the same when I first entered the 10x zone," Chen Feng encouraged himself secretly, struggling to rise.

But the immense gravity caused his muscles to feel like they were tearing apart. Every struggle risked rupturing blood vessels.

"Persistence is victory!" Chen Feng gritted his teeth, pushing up with his arms on the ground to slowly stand up!

"Agh..." A low moan escaped his lips, and he immediately collapsed back to his knees. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, trickling into his neck and mouth.

His earlier struggle, due to using too much force, had torn many muscle fibers. His entire musculature was exposed in a terrifying bloody red, and blood beads even began to seep from his skin's surface.

Forcing down the tearing pain, he climbed up again...

If not for the Dark Chaos Vortex energy within him constantly regenerating his muscles, he would have been unable to repeatedly stand up and fall down, stand up and fall down like this!

Each time he managed to stand, his body felt like it was being subjected to slow slicing torture. The intense pain nearly made him pass out; if his mental fortitude hadn't been so tenacious, he would have collapsed long ago.

After countless falls, a spark suddenly ignited in his mind.

Since "that energy" could nourish his physique, could his injured body absorb it?

After the golden divine dragon formed by "that energy" drilled into his body, his physique had improved greatly, but once it absorbed a certain amount, it stopped taking it in. If he could absorb it continuously, he might even consume the entire golden divine dragon.

Now that his muscles were being torn apart repeatedly in the gravity zone, could he direct "that energy" to restore his physical power?

With this thought, Chen Feng cautiously unfolded a sliver of his Domain. This gravity zone did not suppress the cultivation within the body, so he could utilize the power of his Domain.

As soon as the power of his Domain unfolded, the white mist stored within the crystal ball flowed like water throughout his Domain.

The white mist burrowed into his muscles, fusing with them, nourishing both muscle and bone.

"Comfortable..." he groaned softly. The white mist merging into his body was the complete opposite of the torn muscles—a difference that could only be described as heaven versus hell.

Sensing his body couldn't absorb more while lying on the ground, he continued struggling to stand up, to endure the pain once more...

Repeating this cycle, after two days, his muscles had become even more lustrous, faintly emitting a golden glow, and his strength was more than fifty percent greater than before he entered!

Chen Feng's intense physical training was actually spurred by the blow he received from the Purple Garden Demonic Array back then.

No matter how good the "Divine Mansion of Light" was, it ultimately relied on external things; one's own power was far more dependable.

Chen Feng was confident that now, relying solely on his physical strength, he could break out of the Purple Garden Demonic Array!

This wasn't to say he could fight a Saint Domain expert with just his physique, but he could certainly use this power to break free from that kind of binding!

"Now, even if I don't use the 'Divine Mansion of Light,' it should be impossible for Reddy to hurt me!" Chen Feng muttered to himself, staring at his fists, immense ambition rising in his heart!
