The Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit exuded a misty aura, and the fruit surged with powerful energy fluctuations.
Taichu looked at the sacred fruit in his hand. "It is indeed a top-grade sacred fruit. Everyone, please take care when consuming it, lest your magical power be too strong and difficult to absorb."
Upon hearing this, everyone followed suit, each picking a Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit, carefully consuming it, and then sitting down to absorb the fruit's energy.
A light gradually emanated from everyone's bodies, each a different color, echoing the glow of the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit.
The Crimson Flame God Emperor, who had been at the peak of the God Emperor realm for many years, broke through first after absorbing the energy of the Sacred Fruit.
After the Crimson Flame God Emperor's body shone brightly, flames shot into the sky.
The fire raged but did not harm anyone; instead, it engulfed him entirely.
Within the flames, the aura of the Crimson Flame God Emperor rose steadily, and his already immense power became even more vast and profound.
Having reached the True Lord Realm in one fell swoop, the Crimson Flame God Emperor was overjoyed.
Those who were absorbing the energy of the sacred fruit felt a powerful pressure, and were filled with both envy and tension.
They are accelerating their own absorption process, hoping to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.
At this moment, Taichu sensed something was amiss.
He discovered that as the Crimson Flame God Emperor continued to break through, subtle cracks appeared in the surrounding space.
It seemed unable to withstand the immense power of this newborn force.
Taichu hurriedly summoned the Primordial Chaos Heaven Suppressing Cauldron to stabilize the spiderweb-like cracks.
With the appearance of the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron, a mysterious power appeared out of nowhere, repairing the cracks and attracting a surge of spiritual energy from hundreds of millions of miles around.
However, at this moment, the situation of Six-Eared Macaque absorbing the sacred fruit was not good. His face was flushed and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
It seemed unable to withstand the power of the sacred fruit, or perhaps its energy source was insufficient, thus getting stuck at the critical juncture of its breakthrough.
Taichu was shocked to see this and hurriedly stepped forward to help suppress it.
Just as Taichu approached Six-Eared Macaque, a huge suction force suddenly erupted from Six-Eared Macaque's body.
He forcibly extracted the energy from the remaining half of the sacred fruit in Taichu's hand and incorporated it into his body.
Then, several more fruits flew down from the Tongtian Sacred Tree and headed towards Six-Eared Macaque.
Suddenly, the light around Six-Eared Macaque intensified, almost blindingly so.
The light around Six-Eared Macaque flickered, shimmering with seven Liu Guang. Then, a stream of seven-colored spiritual energy shot into the sky.
Just as everyone was in astonishment, Six-Eared Macaque slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise.
It turns out that Six-Eared Macaque has a special constitution, and what appears to be a dangerous rampage is actually his unique way of absorbing energy.
After this experience, he not only fully absorbed the power of the sacred fruit.
He also unexpectedly broke through a bottleneck that had remained unbroken for many years, greatly increasing his magical power.
He reached the peak of the True Lord Realm in one fell swoop.
Seeing this, the others were also relieved and refocused on absorbing the energy of the sacred fruit.
Caifeng released the Four Ferocious Beasts, and Six-Eared Macaque also released the Nine-Headed Lin.
The entire space Liu Guang, and seven-colored spiritual light could be seen constantly flashing on everyone's bodies.
Taichu was not in a hurry. He poured his magic power into the Primordial Chaos Heaven Suppressing Cauldron, continuously providing spiritual power to everyone.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but Taichu was finally relieved when Caifeng had completely absorbed the energy.
Looking at the crowd before him, Six-Eared Macaque was already a peak True Lord Realm expert, Liu Guang had reached the eighth level of the True Lord Realm, Nine-Headed Lin was at the sixth level of the True Lord Realm.
Xuan Yuan Kui Ox has reached the Divine Emperor Realm, Caifeng is a peak Divine King, and the Four Ferocious Beasts are also tenth-grade Divine Kings.
Taichu nodded in satisfaction. "The strength of my Dao Protection Sect has greatly improved, and Six-Eared Macaque has undergone a complete transformation. He will soon reach a new level."
"With the support of the Six-Eared Macaque Demon Ape Clan, our Dao Protection Sect can now stand firm in the Hundun. Everyone should work hard in cultivation. With a divine object like the Tongtian Sacred Tree, we can reach the Great Dao in no time."
Taichu's words stirred the blood of everyone present.
"Six-Eared Macaque, protect me, I also need to make a breakthrough."
Six-Eared Macaque responded and sat cross-legged beside Taichu.
Taichu took a deep breath and began to circulate his energy.
In an instant, the spiritual energy around him gathered wildly, forming a huge vortex.
However, at the crucial moment of the breakthrough, two dark figures darted out from the shadows, revealing themselves to be evil cultivators who had been coveting the Tongtian Sacred Tree.
A dark figure sped toward the Tongtian Sacred Tree.
Upon seeing this, Liu Guang leaped forward to block the way.
Another dark figure waved his hands, unleashing several black runes in an attempt to sabotage Taichu's breakthrough.
Six-Eared Macaque reacted extremely quickly, instantly blocking in front of Taichu and shattering all the runes.
Xuan Yuan Kui Ox and his group stood beside Taichu to prevent any further accidents.
At this moment, a powerful member of the Demon Ape Clan, hidden in the void, tried to intervene, but was stopped by another person.
"The Third Elder said that we should not take action unless it is an extremely urgent situation, Young Master needs to train."
The evil cultivator, who was locked in battle with Six-Eared Macaque, then summoned a group of Demon Spirit that rushed towards Six-Eared Macaque.
Six-Eared Macaque roared, its fur stood on end, and its Demonic Power surged forth as it engaged the Demon Spirit in a fierce battle.
Although Taichu was disturbed, he was completely focused on breaking through.
His body gradually emitted a golden glow, each ray containing a world-destroying power.
Six-Eared Macaque fought with increasing ferocity, eliminating the Demon Spirit one by one, before turning around and unleashing a powerful punch at the evil cultivator.
The evil cultivator was unable to dodge in time, was struck, coughed up blood, and flew backward.
Six-Eared Macaque lunged forward, unleashing his Primal Chaos Staff, and shattered Liu Er's true spirit with a single blow.
At this moment, Taichu shone brightly, successfully breaking through his cultivation realm.
He slowly opened his eyes, and two golden beams shot out from them, soaring straight into the sky. He had actually broken through to the Half-Step Great Dao Realm in one fell swoop.
Taichu looked at the black shadow fighting with Liu Guang, and shot out two golden beams of light from his eyes, instantly annihilating the black shadow.
Upon seeing Taichu break through, Six-Eared Macaque was overjoyed. "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Master!"
Taichu was also overjoyed, after all, he had reached a completely new realm.
Taichu looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has gained something from this trip. Let's return to the Demon Ape Clan first and then make further considerations."
After saying that, Taichu and his group withdrew from the depths of Illusory Star Valley.
To find the Tongtian Sacred Tree, one must pass through the Demon Ape Clan.
With the powerful Demon Ape Clan present, Taichu naturally had no worries about the loss of the Tongtian Sacred Tree.
The Third Elder was overjoyed to see that everyone had arrived at the clan and had all made great progress in their strength.
"I never imagined that the Sect Leader and the Young Master would be so blessed to have such an opportunity."
Taichu smiled and looked at the Third Elder, cupping his hands in greeting as he said:
"Third Elder, please don't say that. If it weren't for Third Elder guidance, we wouldn't have had this opportunity."
The Third Elder smiled and shook his head, "Sect Leader, you are mistaken. Although it was I who guided you, it is also because of Sect Leader great fortune. I suppose Sect Leader journey was due to the Tongtian Sacred Tree!"
Taichu looked at the Third Elder in confusion. "The Third Elder is right. Isn't that Tongtian Sacred Tree the great opportunity of Illusory Star Valley?"
"What the Sect Leader said is correct. However, although the Tongtian Sacred Tree has always existed, not everyone has the opportunity to encounter it. Without great fortune, the Tongtian Sacred Tree will not appear."
"Does the Third Elder mean that even if other people are fortunate enough to arrive here, the Tongtian Sacred Tree will not easily reveal itself?"
The Third Elder nodded after hearing this. "That's exactly right!"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
The Third Elder looked at Taichu and bowed respectfully.
"Now that the Sect Leader has obtained such a great opportunity on this trip, what are your plans for the future?"
"I plan to return to Primordial Wilderness Primordial World to settle things down before I begin preparations to venture into Hundun."
"Very well, my Demon Ape Clan will obey the Sect Leader's orders!"
After much discussion, the Crimson Flame True Lord returned to the West City God Domain, while the Taichu Beginning group sped off towards the Primordial Wilderness World.
