Chapter 620: The First Epic Quality (First Update, Requesting Everything)

The third layer of the starry sky contains a total of 257 starlight points, a quantity far exceeding the previous two layers, so the difficulty of tempering has naturally increased significantly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, under the tempering of the liquefied Mental Power, several starlight points had their impurities removed and essence extracted, emitting a dazzling, eye-catching radiance.

The volume of the liquefied Mental Power shrank slightly as it continued to encompass several nearby starlight points.

After more than ten minutes, the tempering of the starlight in the third layer of the starry sky was complete; they flickered with brilliant starlight and simultaneously shot out a beam of light that landed in the center of the third layer of the starry sky.

Within the radiance, a thin crescent moon began to take shape; its volume was clearly far larger than the second moon, and it would require more time to reach perfection.

With the birth of the crescent moon, Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power suddenly surged by a large margin, and he advanced to the Sixth Rank without any danger or surprises.

At the moment of his advancement, Li Zhangsheng sensed another Demon Pet Space; his contract slots increased by one.

Li Zhangsheng suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to guide the starlight, wanting to open the final Xuanwu Star Aperture.

Not knowing how much time had passed, a milky-white light point on the crown of Li Zhangsheng's head suddenly burst forth with dazzling radiance.

With the help of the breakthrough power, Li Zhangsheng successfully opened the final Xuanwu Star Aperture—Wall Water Kui!

Wall Water Kui is the seventh mansion of the Northern Seven Mansions, located outside the Room Mansion, shaped like the wall of the Room Mansion, hence the name "Wall."

Once the Wall Water Kui Star Aperture was filled with Starlight Power, it meant that the "Four Symbols Star Monster Taming Art" was completely perfected.

After the Xuanwu Constellation was perfected, Li Zhangsheng gained his fourth passive minor divine ability—Light of Kuisui, which can slightly increase the physical defense of all Demon Pets.

Additionally, as the cultivation of the Four Symbols Constellations reached perfection, he also gained a divine ability called Four Symbols Starry Sky Image Prohibition.

Four Symbols Starry Sky Image Prohibition: A binding-type divine ability that summons the phantoms of the Four Spirits of Heaven to bind enemies within an ocean of star power; the binding ability is even better on nights when the starlight is brilliant.

This is undoubtedly a rather excellent divine ability that can better assist the Demon Pets in battle.

When the cultivation ended, Li Zhangsheng let out a long breath; as his body moved slightly, his entire skeleton emitted crackling, popping sounds.

After advancing to the Sixth Rank, his physical strength had once again gained a certain level of improvement; unlike ordinary Sixth Rankers, Li Zhangsheng's entire skeleton began to emit a moist, lustrous sheen, showing a trend toward becoming jade-like.

This was likely the change brought about by cultivating the "Xuanji Nine Transformations" and the "Four Symbols Star Monster Taming Art," making Li Zhangsheng's physical strength comparable to the most top-tier Pseudo-King.

Looking at Ning Bizhen's slightly pale, pretty face, Li Zhangsheng carefully wiped the sweat from her, then took her hand and went to the backyard.

After successfully breaking through to the Sixth Rank, Li Zhangsheng could not hide the excitement in his heart, because if there were no accidents, he had a high probability of leaping to become a Pseudo-King.

Now was also the time to let those few Demon Pets on the verge of Lord 9th Rank attempt to break through to the Demon King level.

As long as he possessed one or two Demon King-level Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng's strength would surely be greatly enhanced, and some of his bones would become completely jade-like, further increasing his physical strength.

The two walked together to the backyard, and Li Zhangsheng pulled Aixi, Kailan, Adai, the Crowned Blazing Bird, Baitan, and Heiye—a total of six Demon Pets—out of their respective beds.

As for the other Demon Pets, they could only watch them longingly with envious expressions, because they were still a short distance away from the Lord 9th Rank threshold.

Before the breakthrough, Li Zhangsheng took out the Red Fire Dragon Scale Fruit and placed it in front of the Crowned Blazing Bird.

Besides this, there were two large jars of Phoenix Essence Blood; although not enough for the Crowned Blazing Bird to evolve, it was, after all, top-tier Divine Beast Essence Blood, containing powerful energy that could, more or less, increase its probability of breakthrough.

The Crowned Blazing Bird is an Epic quality Demon Pet and already had a 10% probability of breaking through to the Demon King level; the Red Fire Dragon Scale Fruit added 50%, and with the two jars of Phoenix Essence Blood, its success rate for the breakthrough exceeded 60%.

Originally, Li Zhangsheng had wanted to make a trip to the Fire Flame Secret Realm to let the Crowned Blazing Bird break through by relying on the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree, but after thinking about it, he gave up, because the Fire Crystal Palace had been opened last time, and if it were opened again this time, interested parties would guess that the Fire Crystal Palace was related to him.

Most importantly, the center of the Fire Flame Secret Realm was territory planned by the Imperial Family, which was the main reason Li Zhangsheng gave up.

Under the envious gazes of the other Demon Pets, the Crowned Blazing Bird solemnly swallowed the Red Fire Dragon Scale Fruit, drank the two large jars of Phoenix Essence Blood, flapped its wings, and began to break through.

The Crowned Blazing Bird was very clear about the value of the Red Fire Dragon Scale Fruit and was afraid of failing the breakthrough, so the pressure was naturally not small.

In the span of a few breaths, the Crowned Blazing Bird was surrounded by flames that were white within red, as if it had turned into a scorching sun, emitting a burning aura.

"Kailan!"

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng opened three large jars of Elf King Essence Blood, which turned into a stream of blood and began to be devoured by Kailan.

After finishing the devouring, Kailan leaned against the roots of the Tree of Life, closed her eyes, and began to break through.

While Kailan was breaking through, the Tree of Life emitted wisps of ink-green aura, wrapping Kailan up and making her look like a green cocoon of light.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, Kailan herself possessed a 20% breakthrough probability, the evolution could provide her with at least 20%, and with the aura of the Tree of Life, even if it didn't reach 50%, it was likely not far off.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the other four Demon Pets and said, "Everyone can attempt to break through!"

The next moment, Aixi, Adai, Baitan, and Heiye were each wrapped in light of different colors, attempting to break through to the Demon King level.

Unlike Kailan and the Crowned Blazing Bird, the other Demon Pets could only rely on themselves.

According to Li Zhangsheng, they were all Half-Step Epic quality, so even if the breakthrough failed, they would not be affected, and they could continue to break through after a period of time.

60% for the Crowned Blazing Bird, 50% for Kailan, and 20% each for the other four Demon Pets; because of the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote, the advancement probability for Baitan and Heiye increased greatly, so as long as Li Zhangsheng's luck wasn't too bad, there would always be one or two Demon Pets that would break through to the Demon King level.

For a time, six large balls of light appeared in the sky and on the ground.

They began to frantically draw energy from the surroundings as the source of energy for their advancement.

Li Zhangsheng's mind stirred, and the Imitation Demon Refining Pot flew out from his Consciousness Sea.

In addition to some of its own abilities, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot also retained the functions of six precious pearls, including the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl and the Milaodingyuanzhu.

The next moment, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot first manifested a colorful screen of light, shrouding the entire backyard, and then a black hole the size of a fist appeared inside the pot; countless five-colored light spots swarmed out, filling the entire backyard and providing energy for the six Demon Pets.

Soon, the black hole stopped emitting energy, as the energy inside had reached a critical point; if it continued to draw, it might cause the space of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot to collapse directly.

"Wuwu!"

Suddenly, Kailan made a muffled sound, and the ink-green ball of light was immediately filled with Jianhua Bai Guang.

Kailan's figure began to become slender, growing from 1.3 meters to 1.5 meters, and the leaf mark on her forehead turned into a sapling, almost exactly the same as the Tree of Life in its seedling stage.

This evolution was equivalent to Kailan becoming a Primordial Elf.

A Primordial Elf is analogous to a Quasi-God, but because of the Tree of Life, it possesses a Vigorous grade of bloodline concentration and is a Master Race.

Besides this, the green clothing on Kailan's body became much more exquisite, and a green ribbon that fluttered without wind appeared at her waist.

However, Li Zhangsheng suddenly widened his eyes, because the moment Kailan finished evolving, the light spot representing her became one grade brighter.

"Could it be... Epic quality?"

Li Zhangsheng endured his excitement and immediately extracted Kailan's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Primordial Elf (Growth Stage, Top-tier Exotic Beast, Innate One Qi Xuan Sha Miao Zhen Green Lotus: Can automatically absorb surrounding Wood Element energy, quickly restore the defense of the lotus platform, and can amplify the power of Kailan's Wood Element skills by 30%; can negate one or multiple attacks of the same rank, depending on the attack intensity.)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: XX (On the verge of breakthrough)

【Spirit Beast Race】: Higher Overlord

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Epic "Guaranteed to break through to Demon King level, slightly increases the probability of breaking through to Demon Saint level"

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Elemental Power (Rich), Spirit King (Vigorous)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wood Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Metal

Seeing that Kailan's quality had indeed risen, Li Zhangsheng revealed a brilliant smile.

He finally had his first Epic Demon Pet in his hands, which also gave Kailan's strength a certain boost, while simultaneously slightly increasing the probability of breaking through to Demon Saint level.

Besides this, an Epic quality Demon Pet has a thirty percent probability of breaking through to Demon King level; Kailan's breakthrough probability rose from nearly fifty percent to nearly sixty percent.

After the Spirit King bloodline reached the Vigorous grade, Kailan's race also sublimated from Perfect Monarch to Higher Overlord, becoming the second Demon Pet with a Sovereign race in Li Zhangsheng's hands.

Chirp~

Just as Li Zhangsheng felt pleasantly surprised by Kailan's changes, suddenly, the Crowned Blazing Bird let out an exceptionally loud cry, its entire aura began to surge, and its red-and-white flames gradually moved toward a red-and-white alternating pattern.

Due to the Undying Fire and the comprehension of the true meaning of the Endless Wood, the temperature of the Crowned Blazing Bird's flames was extremely restrained, causing no impact on the other Demon Pets.

Li Zhangsheng's gaze shifted from Kailan to the Crowned Blazing Bird, a look of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

Although the momentum of the Crowned Blazing Bird's breakthrough was great, the backyard had long been shrouded by a multi-colored light screen, and with a layer of Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restriction covering the outer perimeter, Li Zhangsheng could guarantee that the aura would not leak out.

In the Consciousness Sea of the Crowned Blazing Bird, the Crowned Blazing Bird's consciousness entered the depths of the Consciousness Sea in a daze.

Standing here was a fire-red gate, a full hundred meters in height; the portal, which seemed to be composed of fire crystals, was carved with images of numerous Fire Element Divine Beasts, such as the Golden Crow, Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Zhurong, Bifang, Four-Clawed Fire Dragon, Fire Qilin, and so on.

Monday, asking for recommendation votes, many thanks to all the bosses.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, proof!
