Chapter 676: Level Nine, Energy-Gathering Beast

As the other party arrived, the arrogant and domineering expression on Saint Su's face disappeared, and he spoke to the other party: "The Grand Elder's lesson is correct, I was momentarily enraged."

"Alright, alright, no need to say more. Now that Wu Hu has fled with the treasure of our Fox Clan, if you encounter Wu Hu, show no mercy and kill her on sight. So you must prepare yourself and not be influenced by her."

The newcomer was the Grand Elder of the Fox Clan, Su Long, with cultivation at the Peak of the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Hearing the Grand Elder's words, Saint Su's expression changed slightly, but he ultimately nodded in agreement. He naturally knew that compared to Wu Hu, the Nine-Fox Orb held greater significance for the Fox Clan.

"Yes, Grand Elder."

"Alright, you should also strive to Breakthrough to the Heavenly Emperor Realm as soon as possible. Additionally, in ten thousand years, the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Realm will open. At that time, you will lead the Heavenly Kings of our Fox Clan into it."

After speaking, Su Long intended to leave but remembered something and spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Saint Su's eyes couldn't help but light up. He naturally knew what the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Realm was—a place where only Heavenly King-level experts could enter for training. If he could enter, the benefits for himself would be unimaginable.

"Yes, Grand Elder, I will definitely Cultivate diligently."

Saint Su took a deep breath and spoke with utmost seriousness.

Although he is currently only at the Early Stage of the Heavenly King Realm, within ten thousand years, he has full confidence in Breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Heavenly King Realm. By then, combined with his foundation and the strength of his Fox Clan, entering the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Realm would surely yield profound gains.

On the other side, Wu Hu was completely unaware. At this moment, she was fully focused on charging toward the Peak of the Heavenly King Realm.

In the blink of an eye, another five hundred years passed.

Forbidden Realm, Void Forbidden Realm.

"Whew, I've finally Broken through to Level Nine."

After slaughtering and devouring most of the forbidden beings in the entire Void Forbidden Realm, Wu Yidao finally Broke through from Level Eight to the Early Stage of Level Nine.

After Breaking through to Level Nine, Wu Yidao intended to stop. There was no other reason—although the Forbidden Power system allowed Breakthroughs without restraint, Wu Yidao still wanted to consolidate his foundation, aiming for even stronger Realms in the future.

After Breaking through to Level Nine, Wu Yidao thought of reuniting with Meteor Daoist and the others. After all, after leaving the Void Forbidden Realm, he would need to head to Fa Tian Daoist's side. So before leaving, he should bring as much help as possible to Meteor Daoist and the others.

After all, they had treated him quite well. If not for their identities being hostile, they might have become good friends.

Without further thought, Wu Yidao's figure flickered as he rushed toward the direction where he sensed Meteor Daoist and the other forbidden beings were located.

However, on the other side, Meteor Daoist encountered major trouble.

Looking at the Level Nine Forbidden Beast appearing before him, Meteor Daoist and the other forbidden beings were extremely solemn. At this moment, they were still only at Level Eight and had not Broken through to Level Nine.

Although it was just a difference of one Realm, the disparity in strength was like heaven and earth.

"Everyone, attack together! If we can't defeat it, I'll create an opportunity for you to escape first!"

Meteor Daoist looked at his colleagues behind him and spoke, his tone extremely grave.

The strong experts of the Starfall Sect behind him also nodded in agreement, but they had no intention of leaving. Instead, they decided to fight to the death!

The next second, Meteor Daoist charged toward the Level Nine Forbidden Beast in front of him, reaching its front in the blink of an eye. A large blade materialized in Meteor Daoist's hand, and he directly swung it toward the Forbidden Beast's thigh.

At this moment, Meteor Daoist stood three meters tall, but before the hundred-meter-tall Forbidden Beast, he was as insignificant as an ant.

Just as Meteor Daoist's large blade was about to strike the Forbidden Beast, he was hit by a Forbidden Power shot from the Forbidden Beast's body. If not for Meteor Daoist reacting in time at the last moment and blocking this fatal blow with his large blade, he would have surely perished.

But even so, Meteor Daoist's face turned extremely pale, and he violently spat out a mouthful of Forbidden Power.

The Level Eight experts of the Starfall Sect nearby saw this and all charged toward the Level Nine Forbidden Beast. Although their Aura was fierce, they couldn't get close to the Level Nine Forbidden Beast. The other party continuously shot Forbidden Power from its back, containing extremely terrifying power. They couldn't withstand it and could only dodge continuously.

But the power of the Level Nine Forbidden Beast, the Energy-Gathering Beast, seemed endless, shooting out continuously. If this continued, they would likely all perish here.

Seeing this scene, Meteor Daoist's expression turned extremely ugly. He shouted toward Grand Elder Xun Gua and the others, "You all leave quickly! I'll buy you time!"

But the next second, Xun Gua and the other Level Eight experts showed no hesitation, speaking with utmost determination, "Sect Master, we are all forbidden beings of the Starfall Sect. There is no situation where we abandon our kin. So, Sect Master, we absolutely cannot let you stay behind alone."

"Why must you all be like this…"

Hearing their words, Meteor Daoist felt deeply moved inside but didn't know what to say. After all, now was not the time for willfulness.

And at that moment, a power shot from behind the Energy-Gathering Beast directly hit a Level Eight Late Stage expert within the Starfall Sect. Although he blocked it in time, he still unavoidably suffered a heavy blow.

This also led to him being unable to dodge the attacks released by the Energy-Gathering Beast afterward. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as a Forbidden Power struck him.

Seeing this scene, Meteor Daoist's eyes widened in fury, roaring, "No!"

But as the Forbidden Power dissipated, a figure was seen blocking in front of that Elder. Upon closer look, who else could it be but Wu Yidao.

Seeing Wu Yidao appear, Meteor Daoist and the other experts breathed a sigh of relief but quickly reacted, looking at Wu Yidao with extreme shock. Clearly, they all sensed the Level Nine Aura emanating from Wu Yidao at this moment.

"Yi Dao, you… how did you Break through to Level Nine?"

Meteor Daoist looked at Wu Yidao, his tone full of disbelief.

Wu Yidao waved his hand, looked at the Energy-Gathering Beast in front of him, and then spoke, "Now is not the time to discuss this. First, let's deal with the Forbidden Beast in front of us."

After speaking, a surge of killing intent emanated from Wu Yidao, causing all the experts present to tremble involuntarily, but they all breathed a sigh of relief inside.

Since Wu Yidao had Broken through to Level Nine, it meant the Energy-Gathering Beast in front of them could no longer pose a threat to them.

After all, they all deeply understood Wu Yidao's strength. At the Perfection of Level Seven, he already had the power of a Level Eight forbidden being, let alone now at Level Nine. The Level Nine Forbidden Beast in front of them would definitely not be Wu Yidao's match.

PS: Originally planned to finish by the end of February, but later found too many plot holes. Rushing to finish would be no different from a bad ending, so I'll write a bit more. I'll finish after filling all the plot holes, expected by the end of April at the earliest or the end of May at the latest. Thank you all for your support.

As always, seeking support. Free labor of love, thank you all, great ones.
