The Five Elements Beast's advancement was clearly different from that of other demon beasts. Although the aura of its cultivation had already reached the Grade 8 realm, it had not triggered the descent of the Heavenly Tribulation. Under Qin Fengming's probing, the demon core inside its body still showed no signs of transformation.
Judging only from the demon core in its body, it should still be at the Grade 4 demon beast level.
Yet its aura truly possessed only what a Grade 8 demon beast could have.
The Myriad Spirits' Insights contained no clear explanation of this situation either. Based on Qin Fengming's knowledge, he could only regard it as similar to the Silver Sheath Worm. The Five Elements Beast was no longer suited to the ordinary classification of demon beast levels. Its realms could only be discussed in terms of juvenile beast, semi-juvenile beast, mature beast, adult beast, and fully accomplished beast.
During the juvenile and semi-juvenile stages, the demon core in its body should not undergo any mutation. Only upon reaching the mature beast stage would a qualitative transformation occur.

Do not follow me into danger."
Upon hearing Qin Fengming's words, Rong Qing and Kuang Feng immediately changed color and spoke at the same time
