Demon-Suppressing Tower of the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute.
Ren Rulong is diligently cultivating on the first basement level!
He has been imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Tower for over two years!
Over the past two years, he has explored the entire above-ground part of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and only recently descended to the basement level!
The Dean hadn't lied to him; according to the cultivation method of the "Demon Devouring Technique," his strength had been increasing rapidly!
Demonic power enhances skill, demonic soul elevates the soul's realm, and the essence and blood of various Divine Beast improve physical constitution!
The interior of the Demon-Suppressing Tower is absolutely the most ideal place to cultivate the "Demon-Devouring Technique"!
All the monsters here are dead!
Their remaining will posed a considerable danger to Ren Rulong, nearly shattering Ren Rulong self-awareness time and time again!
Fortunately, Ren Rulong had previously consumed Seven-Aperture Soul-Refining Pill of Quasi-God Pill grade, making his soul relatively strong!
Moreover, he is a young man with a strong will and a spirit of never giving up, so he persevered!
However, Ren Rulong also discovered a significant problem!
While the Demon-Devouring Technique is ingenious, it seems somewhat incomplete!
Ren Rulong can easily devour demonic power, demonic souls, and the essence of demonic beasts, and absorb them, but he finds it difficult to truly and completely refine them!
He tried to slow down the rate of consumption, but the result was the same!
Having come this far, there's no turning back. Even if problems are discovered, Ren Rulong has no choice but to grit his teeth and go all the way down this path!
Regardless, the rapid increase in strength is something that can be personally felt!
Ren Rulong had a gut feeling that once he completed the three underground levels of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he would be able to achieve the God Realm, and an extremely powerful God Realm at that!
But he had also realized that the third underground level was far more dangerous than the upper levels, and he wasn't sure if he could make it to the end!
It is also uncertain how long it will take him to traverse the three underground levels of the Demon-Suppressing Tower!
Dragon Spine Mountain Range, Mystic Purity Sect!
The summit of Elegant Bamboo Peak!
In Elder Ji Xin's meditation room, Duanmu Yunshang suddenly appeared out of thin air!
Her red dress and hair were slightly disheveled, and she looked somewhat embarrassed!
A crystal-clear, round bead floats in the quiet room!
The bead was about the size of a fist, and it looked like it was made of glass, with iridescent light flowing inside like mist!
It is the Illusionary God Pearl of the Mystic Purity Sect!
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the door!
"Grandmaster, please come in!"
Duanmu Yunshang called out softly.
Elder Ji Xin, who had been guarding outside, pushed open the door and entered, followed by her beloved disciple Duanmu He!
" Yunshang, don't overwork yourself. You need to balance work and rest!"
Elder Ji Xin said with a smile.
We have no choice but to give it our all!
Duanmu Yunshang shook her head and said, "The demon and monster races could invade the Human Race at any time. I don't have much time left!"
"This is a crisis that the entire Human Race must face, not just yours alone!"
Duanmu He said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"
"I understand!"
Duanmu Yunshang nodded and then asked, "Aunt, what did Lin Heng say? Is he going to come to our Mystic Purity Sect to take refuge temporarily?"
"Grandfather sent word that the Little Prince of Chishui is unwilling to hide in our Mystic Purity Sect. It seems he is busy refining pills and cannot spare the time!"
Duanmu He replied.
"What a little rascal!"
Duanmu Yunshang angrily scolded, "What kind of time is this? He still has the mind to refine pills!"
"Grandfather said that long before everyone knew that Tuoba Ke had become the Heavenly Devil Tyrant Body, the Little Prince of Chishui had already begun refining pills. Now is the crucial period for refining pills, so he can only stay in the Pill Pavilion's Pill Tower unless he is willing to accept the result of failing to refine pills!"
Duanmu He added.
" Yunshang, don't worry too much. Perhaps the little prince finished refining the pills and arrived here before the demon army besieged the Great Xia Imperial City!"
Elder Ji Xin offered words of comfort.
"Well!"
Duanmu Yunshang sighed, "If he can't get here in time, even if I can't defeat Tuoba Ke, I'll have to risk my life to save him!"
After saying that, she plunged back into the Illusionary God Pearl!
According to the plan of the Human Race's high command, as a trump card for the Human Race, she does not need to stay in the Great Xia Imperial City!
She was to be outside, while the powerful demons and monsters were fighting against the Four Symbols God-Slaying Formation, and seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Tuoba Ke!
The Great Xia Imperial City, Pill Pavilion.
In a living room, Hong San, Yao Jian, Duanmu Lan were entertaining Lin Changqing, the newly arrived ruler of Chishui Kingdom.
Not only did Lin Changqing arrive, but the entire Chishui Royal Clan also evacuated Chishui Royal City and fled to the Great Xia Imperial City!
As for the ordinary people of the Chishui Kingdom, most of them retreated to the east of the Great Xia Imperial City!
This time, he was responding to the call from the Human Race's higher-ups, so Lin Changqing didn't feel ashamed about running away!
After all, the Lingxi Royal Clan in the west and the Nanhua royal family in the south had also fled!
"Your Majesty need not worry about the young prince. Once he finishes refining the elixir, I will personally escort him to the Dragon Spine Mountain Range!"
Duanmu Lan said quite easily, "Even if the little prince is trapped in the capital, Pavilion Master Yao and I will ensure that he is safe!"
"Um!"
Yao Jian nodded.
He had seen the Little Prince twice recently. Although the Little Prince hadn't explicitly said anything, he had a gut feeling that the Little Prince had also entered the God Realm!
The Little Prince always wore a divine robe, revealing no trace of his presence, which made it impossible for anyone's divine senses to detect whether the Little Prince had achieved divine power!
However, if the Little Prince hadn't reached the God Realm, why would he have given Duanmu Yunshang a Nine-Pattern Sun Pill?
Even if the Little Prince reaches the God Realm, he is too young and probably won't have much combat power!
"What kind of elixir is Heng'er refining?"
Lin Changqing asked curiously.
"The Little Prince told me that he's currently refining the Star Divine Pill!"
Yao Jian, worried that Lin Changqing didn't understand the Star Divine Pill well enough, added, " The Star Divine Pill is extraordinary; it can enable martial artists to achieve Starry Sky Divine Power. The little prince probably looks down on ordinary divine power, so he wants to refine the Star Divine Pill!"
"Refine the Star Divine Pill?"
Lin Changqing frowned slightly, "I know that this kind of divine pill is extremely laborious and time-consuming to refine. Even the most skilled alchemists would need at least three months to successfully refine it!"
Yao Jian, Hong San, and Duanmu Lan were also aware that the little prince would most likely not be able to complete the alchemy before the demon and monster armies besieged the Great Xia Imperial City!
The ninth floor of the Dan Tower!
Lin Heng, who was refining pills, was also quite frustrated.
He had only been refining the Star Divine Pill for a few days when news came that Tuoba Ke had achieved the Heavenly Devil Tyrant Body!
Once the process of refining the divine pill begins, it cannot be stopped, otherwise the refining will fail. He only has one Ten-Thousand-Year Star Fruit, and he cannot afford to waste it!
" Devil Race and Demon Race, you'd better not disturb my alchemy, or I'll get very angry, and the consequences will be severe!"
Lin Heng muttered to himself with an unfriendly expression.
After taking one Star Divine Pill, he becomes invincible!
Even without taking it, he's still incredibly powerful!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Less than ten days later, the Devil Race from the west and the Demon Race from the south arrived at the Great Xia Imperial City without any trouble!
Imperial Dongfang Lin of the Great Xia immediately activated the Four Symbols God-Slaying Formation!
This divine array not only enveloped the entire imperial city, but also the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute!
