Chapter 0977: Breakthrough – Ten Eras!

Jun Xuan nodded calmly and said, “Let’s go!” With that, he dashed into the Valley of Falling Demons. Surprisingly, as he entered, the swirling demonic energy kept converging toward his body. Once this energy entered his body, a wisp of demonic mist continuously evaporated from his surface. It seemed Jun Xuan had mastered some secret technique that allowed him to absorb this demonic energy and transform it into the purest spiritual energy for his own use. This was one of the secret techniques of the Heavenly Dao Sect—the Kunpeng Rebirth Art. Once mastered to a certain level, this art could transform all spiritual energy in the world into usable power.
Chi Rong followed behind, feeling both envy and jealousy. Yet he also knew that mastering the Kunpeng Rebirth Art required extremely harsh conditions, and not everyone could practice it. Even fewer could reach a level where they could transform all spiritual energy in the world.
“Fifth Senior Brother, we’ve learned that the young man from the Golden Dragon clan who possesses the Chaos Bell has also arrived in the World of Ten Thousand Demons!” Ye Hua stepped forward and said.
“Oh? That’s even better! Have you found out why he came to this world?” Jun Xuan turned to ask.
“It seems he came to fight Xue Wuya, the young master of the Blood Demon Sect, aiming to exchange something for a Demon Devouring Fruit in his possession!” Chi Rong added.
“Xue Wuya?!” A glint appeared in Jun Xuan’s eyes as if lost in memories. He slowly said, “I wonder if this guy has already broken through ten eras. What level has he reached now?!”
Chi Rong smiled and said, “Fifth Senior Brother just came out of seclusion, so he’s unaware of Xue Wuya’s situation. Over the years, Xue Wuya has become very powerful in the World of Ten Thousand Demons. It’s said he reached the later stage of the tenth era a few years ago!”
“The later stage of the tenth era?” Jun Xuan nodded calmly. “As expected, one of my fiercest rivals of the past!”
Ye Hua laughed, “Fifth Senior Brother is already at the peak of the later stage of the tenth era and will soon break through to the eleventh era. In the next Great War of All Races, Xue Wuya definitely won’t be a match for him!”
Chi Rong also laughed, “Exactly. Not to mention Xue Wuya, even Long Cheng from the Golden Dragon clan isn’t a match for Fifth Senior Brother. As for Ji Jian from the Crimson Blood Demon Eye Ox clan, he was injured by Fifth Senior Brother last time and still hasn’t recovered his soul. He hasn’t broken through the tenth era yet and is completely useless—far from being a match! It’s said his father, Ji Wushuang, still hasn’t gathered the materials needed to craft the Heavenly Soul Pill to heal his soul’s injuries!”
Jun Xuan sighed. “The Great War of All Races is approaching again. How nostalgic!” The airflow around him spun violently, forcing Chi Rong and the others to back away.

“Is that kid named Huang Long? Huang Hai? Since that kid came looking for Xue Wuya, after we find the fragments of the World Tree, we’ll seize the chance to capture him and bring him back to the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Sect!” Then, Jun Xuan’s tone changed as he pondered aloud.
Chi Rong and the others quickly replied with respect.
A while later, Jun Xuan and the eight of them arrived at the ancient forest where Huang Long had previously subdued the Golden Turtle Dragon-Phoenix Beast with Jin Ming from the Jin Ba Men.
“What a powerful Golden Element law! Besides that, there’s also dragon energy!” Jun Xuan flashed to the location where the eight beasts had fought earlier. A glimmer of golden light appeared in his light gray eyes; under that golden light, everything in the surrounding space seemed to be seen through.
“It seems that adult exotic beast, the Golden Turtle Dragon-Phoenix Beast, has already been captured!” Chi Rong said solemnly.
“Let’s go. Our main goal here is to complete our teacher’s task and obtain the fragments of the World Tree. That Golden Turtle Dragon-Phoenix Beast is secondary!” After saying that, Jun Xuan didn’t linger any longer and left in a flash.
Chi Rong and the others hurried after him.
At that moment, inside the Sacred Cauldron, Huang Long reached a critical point in his pursuit of breaking through to the tenth era.
Having reached the peak of the ninth era, Huang Long kept devouring the essence and vital energy of the Golden Turtle Dragon-Phoenix Beast. Under the power of the great dao laws, his strength continued to rise until he finally reached the threshold of the tenth era.
In the cosmic void, streaks of moving thunder formed.
The sea of thunder gathered, rolling and expanding. Thunder dragons imbued with the power of destruction circled and swam, their lightning illuminating the heavens and earth.
Before the thunder even fell, terrifying pressure pressed down on everyone inside the Sacred Cauldron, making them feel suffocated—even those like Huang Yi who had reached the mid-stage of the fourth era.
The sea of calamity kept expanding, with more and more thunder gathering, seemingly endless, and the power of destruction within it growing stronger.
Ouke and the others were terrified.
“The destruction calamity of this tenth era is too terrifying! It’s already ten times stronger than during the ninth era, and it’s still getting stronger!” Huang Liang exclaimed in shock.
“When we break through to the tenth era, we’ll probably be reduced to ashes!” Pi Long swallowed hard.
“Reduced to ashes? With Second Brother here, what’s there to fear even in the tenth era?” Huang Yi glared at Pi Long.
Just then, the accumulating destructive thunder finally struck down. The entire space of the Sacred Cauldron seemed to be hit by a massive shock, trembling violently.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly took shelter inside the Sacred Cauldron’s formation.
The destruction calamity of the tenth era had finally arrived!
Huang Long stood up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with intensity, filled with fighting spirit. Instead of summoning the World Tree, he brought out the Chaos Bell. Holding the Chaos Bell in his hand, he soared into the air and headfully faced the destruction calamity.

In the face of the devastating destruction storms spanning thousands of miles, the Yellow Dragon was like a slender beam of light. Yet, this beam of light emitted an intense, blinding radiance. The Clock Emperor fully coordinated with the Yellow Dragon, activating all the arrays of the Chaos Clock, and the innate power of the stars condensed into star deities, which jointly attacked the descending forces of destruction. A thunderous explosion! The sky shook, the Yellow Dragon’s body trembled, and it plummeted thousands of feet along with the Chaos Clock. This wave of destruction forces was also dispersed by the Yellow Dragon. At that moment, the roots of the World Tree, made of white jade, extended to refine and transform the dispersed destruction forces, channeling them throughout the Yellow Dragon’s body. With its current form, a great Dao artifact at the peak of mid-tier strength, its attacking power rivaled that of ten powerful beings from the later eras. Even if the destruction forces of these ten eras were extremely strong, it was no longer a threat. Moreover, the Chaos Clock had regained its full strength from the past. Dispersing the destruction forces of ten eras was not too difficult for the Yellow Dragon! Wave after wave of destruction forces descended, and the Yellow Dragon repeated the same process—dispersing them with the Chaos Clock and then having the World Tree refine and transform their power for its own absorption. As the Yellow Dragon continuously absorbed the destruction forces, its physical body and soul began to transform. Streams of multicolored light radiated out, growing increasingly dazzling. Royal-grade spiritual veins emerged, constantly supplying the spiritual energy needed for the transformation of its body and soul. This continued for over an hour. When the Yellow Dragon dispersed, transformed, and absorbed the last wave of destruction forces, its body and soul underwent a complete transformation. A brilliance akin to thousands of suns exploding illuminated countless spaces within the Sacred Cauldron. After ten eras, it had finally achieved breakthrough! From then on, the Yellow Dragon joined the ranks of the top half-saints!
