"Perhaps he has not fully absorbed it all. But such talents and capabilities are already somewhat stronger than my venerable ancestor, the Great Moon Saint," said Cold Rain Great Saint, tightly gripping his cold sword, feeling quite unsettled.

As a Quasi-Emperor entity, the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon narrowed its opaque eyes, staring blankly at Hong Yuan, who unleashed his Demonic Body’s second Heavenly Calamity and Earthly Tribulation within the Tower of Supreme Splendor.

The Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon found that it was becoming increasingly unable to see through Hong Yuan.

Whenever it thought it had understood Hong Yuan’s essence, he would present it with an unbelievable "surprise"!

"Great Saint, could it be that you have truly touched upon the world beyond the Martial World?" The Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon felt somewhat saddened, yet also somewhat hopeful.

In the past, the Great Moon Saint Han Jiuming had refused to devour the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon to live a second life.

He frankly stated that the Extraterrestrial Demon was from beyond the Martial World. Hence, the chance for eternal life might not lie within the Martial World.

But after setting off on that journey, the Great Moon Saint never returned, with no word ever since—

...

Three days later, an even more powerful aura began to spread from Hong Yuan.

It passed through the obstructions of the Taihua Hall, threatening to disperse in all directions of the Dragon God Sacred Land.

However, moments later, a shower of Great Moon Starlight descended and completely obscured the aura.

I overcame the second Heavenly Calamity and Earthly Tribulation so easily. It cost me over ten thousand Immortal Nuance Stones, but it was all worth it.

Hong Yuan gently clenched his fist, and circles of white ripples bloomed, shattering the void.

His breakthrough also thoroughly startled the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon, the Great Moon Spirit, and the Sky-connecting Tower Spirit.

It had been less than five years since Hong Yuan’s last breakthrough!

Fast, too fast!!!

「Mysterious Space.」

The three Masters watched Hong Yuan playing the erhu in the Taihua Hall, their expressions varied.

"He’s celebrating his breakthrough, I suppose," murmured the Sky-connecting Tower Spirit. "My father also loved to play an instrument alone when he was happy..."

The Great Moon Spirit furrowed her beautiful willow brows slightly. "His talent surpasses even my father’s. I don’t think he’s my father, returned from traversing the long river of time. Should we still have him undergo the ’Great Moon Trial’?"

The Sky-connecting Tower Spirit shook her head. Asking her to exert effort was no problem, but to spend countless thoughts on such a monumental dilemma was simply too much for her.

Eventually, the two Spirits turned to look at the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon, wanting to hear its opinion.

The Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon gazed deeply at Hong Yuan, its eyes lowered, falling into a long silence.

It, too, did not know how to face Hong Yuan, the Destiny of this era...
