Chapter 46: Simultaneous Breakthroughs

Qing Wugui’s Asura Heart had reached the Five Elements Heart, raising his cultivation level from Six-Star Heavenly Soul Demon to Lower-Level Heavenly Soul Demon. With the Five Elements Heart, he could control the five elemental spirits, allowing him to remain invincible against any Heavenly Soul Demon warrior, as he could use these spirits to nullify their spells.

Qu Yi, watching Qing Wugui’s remarkable transformation from the air, was also surprised. The Asura Heart could undergo such a transformation—shocked, Qu Yi was pleased for Qing Wugui. From now on, if Qing Wugui wanted to comprehend the laws of the five elements, he could directly communicate with the elemental energies through the Five Elements Heart, making it easy to observe their essence and quickly grasp the laws.

Now, not only Qu Yi and Wu Yuan were cultivating the laws of the five elements simultaneously, but Qing Wugui, possessing the Five Elements Heart, could do the same. Qu Yi descended from the sky and joined Qing Wugui, laughing heartily.

“Qing Wugui, you truly have endless potential. Now you can cultivate the laws of the five elements at the same time,” Qu Yi said happily.

The five Lower-Level Heavenly Soul Immortal warriors nearby were shocked again upon hearing Qu Yi’s words. They never expected that the laws of the five elements could be cultivated simultaneously. And from Qu Yi’s words, it seemed both he and Qing Wugui could do so.

Qing Wugui sensed the Five Elements Heart in his chest and understood his future path of cultivation. Hearing Qu Yi’s words, he smiled simply.

“Yes, my Five Elements Heart can communicate directly with elemental energies. I can summon them at will to serve me,” Qing Wugui said calmly.

Qu Yi nodded, giving him an encouraging look as a congratulation.

At that moment, Qu Yi sensed another change in Wu Yuan’s aura. Wu Yuan had already devoured five Lower-Level Heavenly Soul Immortal warriors and had reached the cultivation level of Lower-Level Heavenly Soul Fiend.

“Haha, Qing Wugui, let’s go see Wu Yuan together,” Qu Yi said excitedly.

Qing Wugui looked puzzled but was pulled by Qu Yi and instantly teleported to the grassland planet dedicated to Wu Yuan.

Although the number of five-element Heavenly Soul Fiend warriors Qu Yi had captured—especially those of the Metal element—was not enough to elevate Wu Yuan to Upper-Level Heavenly Soul Fiend, the three Metal-element Heavenly Soul Fiends he had captured were sufficient to raise him to Lower-Level Heavenly Soul Fiend.

At this moment, Wuyuan transformed into his beast form, roaring wildly in the air while flapping his wings incessantly. A fierce windstorm swept across the entire grassland, with the howling wind echoing his excited state.

Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui arrived above the grassland planet.

“Wuyuan, stop going crazy. Come here quickly,” Qu Yi shouted loudly.

In an instant, the winds and storms on the planet ceased, and Wuyuan reverted to his thin young appearance before rushing to Qu Yi’s side.

“Ugh… Qing Wu Gui, the aura emanating from you feels so strange. I can no longer sense any killing intent from you,” Wuyuan asked as soon as he arrived.

Although Qing Wu Gui tried his best to suppress his Asura Heart, his expression still carried a sense of coldness and murderous intent. But once his Asura Heart evolved into the Five Elements Heart, his demeanor became much gentler, as if he had merged with the entire universe, somewhat resembling Qu Yi’s aura.

“I’ve just reached the rank of a Lower Heavenly Soul Demon,” Qing Wu Gui said with a faint smile.

“Ugh…” Wuyuan’s expression froze as he stared at Qing Wu Gui in disbelief.

It was too coincidental—both of them had reached a new cultivation level at the same time.

Seeing Wuyuan’s reaction, Qu Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “Wuyuan, don’t be surprised. If you can advance in cultivation, shouldn’t Qing Wu Gui be able to do the same?”

Wuyuan shook his head fiercely and said urgently, “Ugh… Qing Wu Gui, I ate five people and awakened five soul orbs within my soul, that’s how I advanced. You just wave that dark sword of yours every day—can that really help you advance?”

Hearing Wuyuan’s words, Qing Wu Gui smiled slightly and released his aura. With the mighty Five Elements Heart at play, the elemental energies in the surrounding space obediently followed his commands, forming wind or fire at will. He didn’t release any demonic energy at all; he simply used the Five Elements Heart to control those energies.

Wuyuan widened his eyes and reluctantly admitted that Qing Wu Gui had indeed reached the rank of a Lower Heavenly Soul Demon. After all, intelligence had emerged from those elemental energies—this was the hallmark of a Heavenly Soul Demon’s cultivation.

Seeing Wuyuan’s changing expression, Qing Wu Gui smiled again.

“Alright, since you’ve both just reached the rank of Lower Heavenly Soul Immortals, take some time to reflect and solidify your cultivation,” Qu Yi shouted, immediately arranging for the two brothers to begin their training.

In the time that followed, the five would practice the “Divine Weapon Realm Method,” while Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui would also strengthen their cultivation levels before continuing to improve further. Qu Yi, on his part, would attack the powerful beings at the Tian Hun Xian level of the Nine Alliances, with the main goal being to capture the Jin Xing Tian Hun Yao warriors. After all, for Wu Yuan to break through to the level of a mid-tier Tian Hun Yao, there were not enough of these warriors available.

Soon, after arranging things for Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui, Qu Yi returned immediately to a planet on the edge of the Ruin Realm Divine World.

※※※

The group from the Jin Zhan Alliance of the Demon Realm, led by its leader Si Ren along with eighteen Tian Hun Demon warriors, was currently hidden deep within the Ruin Realm Divine World, waiting for an exit route to appear. Once that appeared, they would force their way through Qu Yi’s blockade and escape from the Ruin Realm Divine World.

The planet where the nineteen members of the Jin Zhan Alliance were hiding appeared very dark from space, with an ordinary aura—sure enough, it would not draw the attention of any cultivators.

Yet, in the sky near the planet, there was actually a starship flying toward it.

Indeed, this starship was provided by Qu Yi, specifically designed for searching for cultivators from the Nine Alliances. Right now, a hundred cultivators were on board.

On the starship, at the forefront stood a tall man with a fierce gaze, giving the impression that he might kill anyone at any moment. Thus, under this man’s control, the other cultivators had no objections.

“Everyone, you can see that black planet, right? That’s the planet I told you about, one that contains Jin Xing origin spirit body minerals. This time, as long as we capture a few of these spirit bodies, it will be much easier for us to break through to the lower level of Tian Hun Xian in the future,” said the tall man.

It turned out that the reason this starship wasn’t searching for the powerful beings of the Nine Alliances at the edge of the Ruin Realm Divine World but instead entered its depths was because this tall man was reluctant to part with those Jin Xing origin spirit body minerals. So, he convinced the others to board the starship once again and return to this planet in order to obtain some Jin Xing spirit bodies.

“This planet seems unremarkable, yet it harbors origin spirit body minerals—how surprising!”

“Great! With Jin Xing spirit bodies, I’ll be able to break through to the lower level of Tian Hun Demon soon.”

“Even if I don’t need Jin Xing spirit bodies, I can exchange them for a huge fortune in the future.”

……

The hundred cultivators from various places now showed ecstatic joy on their faces, as if they could already see the bright prospects ahead for themselves.

The starship cut through the sky and headed straight for the black planet ahead.

How could the movements of this starship escape Si Ren, the leader of the Golden Slash Alliance on the Black Planet? Naturally, he sensed it through his magical awareness right away.
“Damn it! Those starships sent by Qu Yi have actually come here. They’re like flies. Go out and destroy that starship—kill everyone on it.” Si Ren issued his orders immediately.
Inside the cave, eighteen Heavenly Soul Demon warriors sneered and nodded.
It was effortless for these eighteen Heavenly Soul Demon warriors to deal with those hundred people who possessed the cultivation level of Heavenly Soul Demons. A mere breath from them could eliminate those hundred cultivators who had come to steal treasures.
In an instant, the eighteen Heavenly Soul Demon warriors rushed out of the hidden cave and appeared above the planet, blocking the starship’s path.
“Ah…”
“You’re the elders of the Golden Slash Alliance!”
“The people from the Golden Slash Alliance are hiding on this planet?”
“We’re doomed! Everyone, run!”
…
The hundred cultivators on the starship felt the oppressive pressure of the eighteen Heavenly Soul Demon warriors. They immediately sensed their surroundings freezing over, rendering them unable to move, and they cried out in panic.
“You wretched traitors! You’re just unlucky to have run into us. Don’t even think about surviving now.”
“Helping Qu Yi is a capital crime. Better kill yourselves.”
“You didn’t have to die. You should have just patrolled that border area casually. Why did you insist on entering the depths of the Meteor Domain Divine Realm? Isn’t that seeking death?”
…
After sealing off the space, the eighteen Heavenly Soul Demon warriors of the Golden Slash Alliance weren’t in a hurry to kill the hundred cultivators on the starship. Instead, they started mocking them, looking at them with pity.
After fleeing for so long, the warriors of the Golden Slash Alliance were already filled with anger. Now that someone had given them an opportunity to tease them, they decided to vent their frustration thoroughly.
“Elders of the Golden Slash Alliance, we had no choice. We came to this planet because I discovered a primordial spirit ore here earlier. I brought these friends here, not intending to look for you.” It was the tall man who spoke up then.
The tall man showed some courage. He had tricked the people on the starship into coming here, but now they faced certain death. He couldn’t hide behind others—he had to step forward and explain the situation.

“Stop looking for excuses. There’s no way we’ll let you go. Anyone connected to Qu Yi won’t be spared by the Golden Slash Alliance,” shouted a powerful Tianhen Demon warrior coldly.
The other Tianhen Demon warriors nodded firmly.
The hundred cultivators on the starship turned pale, trembling with fear at the words of that warrior, some even losing their composure.
“Is that so? If you won’t spare anyone connected to me, then Qu Yi certainly won’t spare the Golden Slash Alliance.”
Suddenly, as the hundred cultivators felt despair, a pleasant and loud voice appeared beside the starship.
Qu Yi had arrived!
“Qu Yi…”
“How is that possible? How did you get here so quickly?”
“It’s over. We should have destroyed this starship long ago. It must be this starship that exposed our location.”
The eighteen Tianhen Demon warriors cried out in panic.
Indeed, Qu Yi had already claimed ownership of these starships, which functioned like soul compasses, allowing him to summon the Boundless Stars at will.
Qu Yi simply smiled, then, with a thought, released Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui from within the Dimensional Sphere.
“Wu Yuan, Wu Qing, let’s act together,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
