"Late Stage of Nascent Soul." Gu Chenfeng slowly opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction: "This time the increase in cultivation is quite satisfactory. With such a powerful Devouring Power, it won’t be long before I can return to the peak realm." "It’s a pity their remaining spiritual power isn’t much; otherwise, I should have broken through to the Soul Emergence Stage. Late Stage of Nascent Soul will have to do; advancing too quickly isn’t always a good thing." Gu Chenfeng’s last sentence sounded as if breaking through to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul in one go wasn’t fast at all. "Congratulations to the Master on breaking through to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul," the Ice Phoenix respectfully congratulated, with undisguisable shock in its words. The Candle Dragon awoke with a start, exclaiming in extreme shock: "Master’s Devouring Power is terrifying. The spiritual power devoured doesn’t even need refinement; it can be directly absorbed to quickly enhance cultivation." "In just nine hours, he broke through from the Late Stage of Golden Core to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, that’s defying the heavens!" Breaking through a major realm in nine hours. Across the entire Cultivation Realm, you won’t find a second person with such terrifying speed of improvement. Gu Chenfeng being second, no one would dare to claim first. Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly: "Aside from devouring power at critical moments in battle, the greatest strength of the Devouring Power is that it can provide me with the absorbed power to enhance my cultivation." The Candle Dragon asked in shock: "Master, with Devouring Power so overbearing, it can even devour such vast spiritual power. Couldn’t it also devour the attacks of a Tribulation Stage expert?" Gu Chenfeng shook his head and said: "The spiritual power left in these corpses doesn’t resist, so devouring is naturally not a problem. Moreover, the strength of Devouring Power depends on my own power." "With my current power, devouring the attacks of an Integration Stage expert should be no problem, but it wouldn’t be enough to devour attacks from an expert above the Divinity Transformation Stage." "No matter how strong the Devouring Power is, it can’t compensate for the gap in strength."

"Let’s go out and see if there’s any news." Gu Chenfeng said calmly, though he was deeply worried about Ling Qiushui. With a thought, Gu Chenfeng and his companions exited the Returning Ruins Illusion Realm. In an instant, the three appeared silently in the great hall of the Immortal Residence of Eternal Youth. The little wolf cub asked in surprise, "Master, weren’t you cultivating? Why did you come out so quickly?" The Candle Dragon smiled slightly and said, "Brother, the Master has already broken through to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul." "What? Late Stage of Nascent Soul? How is that possible?" The little wolf cub was suddenly shocked, his eyes wide open. How long had Gu Chenfeng been inside? How could he break through from the Late Stage of Golden Core to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul? What kind of perverse cultivation speed was this? Gu Chenfeng asked calmly, "Little wolf cub, any news?" The little wolf cub suddenly woke up and respectfully said: "Master, there is no news yet, but Yao Hun brought news that the Baili Family has been destroyed." "The news that the Dongfang Family and the Myriad Swords Sect were annihilated has spread, and the Ancient Divine Sect’s reputation has soared. It will soon spread throughout the Cultivation Realm." "Ice Phoenix, come with me to the Imperial City Refining Pavilion. You all stay behind to guard the Ancient Divine Sect," Gu Chenfeng said calmly, then waved his hand, and the Black Spirit Ship appeared out of thin air in the air. As soon as the words fell, Gu Chenfeng flashed onto the spirit ship. "Refining Pavilion?" Ice Phoenix raised her brows slightly, then also flashed onto the spirit ship. Watching the spirit ship bolt away. The Three-headed Demon Wolf urgently asked: "Brother Fire Dragon, is what you just said true? The Master broke through the Late Stage of Nascent Soul? This speed is too ridiculous!" "It’s more than just ridiculous, it’s utterly ridiculous and heaven-defying," the Little Fire Dragon said with horror, "The Master’s cultivation increase is too terrifying for us to imagine. At this rate of heavenly defiance, the Master will soon be invincible in the Cultivation Realm." Recalling Gu Chenfeng’s terrifying cultivation, Candle Dragon’s heart was still trembling with shock and fear. A middle-aged man wore a look of worry, sadness in his eyes. This person was the Clan Leader of the Yin Yang Family, Yinyang Xuan. Several elders and senior members also showed traces of sadness on their faces, making the atmosphere unbearably oppressive. A figure flashed into the great hall and reported respectfully: "Report to the Patriarch, the clansmen have scoured the Frozen World and still cannot find a trace of the Ice Phoenix, nor any signs of the Phoenix Essence." "Withdraw," Yinyang Xuan said dejectedly, the sadness in his eyes deepening. "Could the Ice Phoenix have already left the Frozen World?" The Great Elder said anxiously, "Otherwise, why can’t it be found? But why at such a critical time?" The Second Elder sighed in sadness: "If only the Saintess had not consumed the Patriarch’s power, the Yin Yang Curse Vein would not have acted prematurely." "Patriarch, is there really no other way?" The Third Elder asked anxiously, "We have watched the Saintess grow up from young to now, and with little time left, we’re deeply pained." "Don’t you think this Clan Leader doesn’t want to save Wan’Er? But Wan’Er’s Yin Yang Curse Vein is already integrated into her bloodline and Ice Attribute. Power that’s too strong would only make Wan’Er die faster." "The only way now is to find the Ice Phoenix. Only with its domineering Ice Attribute Spiritual Power can we save Wan’Er, but now we cannot find it." Yinyang Xuan said in grief and despair, feeling as if his heart was torn apart, even his breathing was painful. Ever since Yinyang Wan’Er and Gu Chenfeng parted ways, Yinyang Wan’Er had been in a coma due to the outbreak of the Yin Yang Curse Vein, her life signs growing weaker and fears of her life being in danger. Even though Yinyang Xuan possessed the terrifying power of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation, he couldn’t forcibly suppress Yinyang Wan’Er’s Yin Yang Curse Vein. An elder hurriedly said: "Patriarch, didn’t the Saintess know someone with a powerful Ice Attribute? Perhaps he could save the Saintess." Yinyang Xuan shook his head and said, "Across the Cultivation Realm, apart from the Ice Phoenix, there isn’t anyone with a stronger Ice Attribute than Wan’Er." "Is the Saintess truly beyond saving?" The elders grieved immensely. A clansman entered the great hall and reported respectfully: "Report to the Patriarch and Elders, we’ve just received news that the Baili Family has been destroyed." "What? The Baili Family has been destroyed?" "How is this possible? The Baili Family’s strength isn’t much weaker than our Yin Yang Family, how could it be destroyed?" "Baili Zhantian had already stepped into the Middle Stage of Mahayana, with such strength, how could they be destroyed?" The elders were shocked, none of them daring to believe it. Yinyang Xuan frowned and asked: "Do we know which forces were involved?" The clansman respectfully replied: "Patriarch, it was the Medicine God Hall. I saw the Medicine God leading the Ten Great Venerables." "Medicine God Hall?" Yinyang Xuan and the elders were once again shocked. The Medicine God Hall and the Baili Family had no enmity; why suddenly destroy the Baili Family? Yinyang Xuan found it hard to believe: "How could the Ten Great Venerables destroy the Baili Family? Yao Hun is only at the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation, he couldn’t possibly kill Baili Zhantian and Baili Celestial Emperor." The Great Elder suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said: "Patriarch, what if the Ice Phoenix was involved?" "Ice Phoenix!" Yinyang Xuan’s expression trembled, greatly shocked: "The Medicine God Hall emerged, the Ice Phoenix disappeared from the Frozen World, it must be in the Medicine God Hall!"
