Chapter 992: Breakthrough in Progress (Second Update, Requesting Everything)

Time passed, and before one knew it, half a month had gone by.

Now, with only three days remaining before the protection period ended, Li Zhangsheng sighed softly as he looked at the humanoid construct before him in the Secret Realm.

The collection of books in the Langya Kingdom Imperial Family was by no means sparse; many of them caught Li Zhangsheng's eye and solved quite a few problems for him.

The problem was, after the old problems were solved, many new ones arose.

This humanoid construct could be considered Li Zhangsheng's best work in the past half month; it did not explode at every turn like before.

Even so, many problems still existed, especially the fact that the soul and body could not fit together; even though Li Zhangsheng had continuously replaced the souls of countless species, he still could not solve this problem.

This did not just require the passage of time; it was mainly due to a severe lack of accumulated knowledge, and he feared there was no way to improve it in the short term.

Not long after, this humanoid construct was placed by Li Zhangsheng into a huge vessel.

The soul originally placed in the humanoid construct had already been extracted by Li Zhangsheng and ferried to the Underworld.

This time, Li Zhangsheng prepared to simulate a womb, attempting to see if he could make this humanoid construct give birth to a soul.

However, this would require a considerable amount of time.

Li Zhangsheng did not leave the Secret Realm; he went straight to the Secret Realm Core and provided the World Power condensed during this period for the Secret Realm Hub to absorb and transform.

The Secret Realm Hub flickered violently, rapidly refining this mass of World Power, and its size and brightness were also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During this process, the entire Secret Realm swayed slightly.

Regarding his own Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng could be said to be omniscient and omnipotent; at this moment, patches of soil were born at the edge of the Secret Realm, causing the area of the Secret Realm to climb continuously.

At the same time, the energy escaping in the nearby void was also swept over frantically, being swallowed and devoured by the Secret Realm; part of it turned into nourishment for growth, and part of it increased the energy concentration within the Secret Realm.

The entire process lasted for half a day; by the time the Secret Realm Hub had fully absorbed the World Power, its volume had grown from the size of a baseball to the size of a soccer ball, not to mention its brightness.

As for the area of the Secret Realm, it had expanded from a radius of three thousand li to five thousand li, which also significantly increased the growth rate of the Heaven and Earth Great Power.

If he had relied on the Secret Realm's own growth rate, he feared it would not necessarily have been able to grow to this point even in a hundred years, and the key was that it was very stable, without any sequelae.

As the area of the Secret Realm continued to increase, the thickness of the Secret Realm would also increase accordingly; otherwise, it would be extremely prone to collapse.

It was just that, in this way, the larger the area of the Secret Realm, the more World Power it consumed.

After admiring the changes in the Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng's figure suddenly disappeared and appeared at the edge of the Secret Realm.

The land here had just been born and was barren, which was just right for the Demon Pets to break through to the Demon Saint level.

By now, a total of six Demon Pets had reached the Demon King 9th Rank level; they were Aixi, Kailan, Baitian, Heiye, Yuangungun, and the Crown Li-Fire Luan.

As for the other Demon Pets, most were at the Demon King 5th-7th Rank level, still some distance away from breaking through.

As long as he possessed a Saint Grade Spirit Pet, it would inevitably greatly strengthen Li Zhangsheng's power, and at the same time, his flesh and blood would gradually transform into gold, eventually becoming a Golden Body Jade Bone, further increasing his physical strength.

The next moment, the six Demon Pets appeared before Li Zhangsheng.

This time, Li Zhangsheng only had one Gold Profound Meaning Origin Crystal in his hand to assist in breaking through to the Demon Saint level; he was no longer as "wealthy" as before.

There was no help for it; the higher the tier of the treasure, the fewer there were, let alone treasures that assisted in breaking through.

Li Zhangsheng took out the Gold Profound Meaning Origin Crystal and threw it straight to Aixi.

Among these six Demon Pets, Aixi was the only one that matched the Gold Profound Meaning Origin Crystal.

Although Aixi had the Gold Profound Meaning Origin Crystal to assist in the breakthrough, Li Zhangsheng felt that the two cats still had the highest probability of breaking through.

The reason was none other than that, besides their Half-Step Epic Quality, it was also closely related to the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote.

The probability of Baitian and Heiye breaking through to the Demon Saint level was already very high, and in a sense, the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote was equivalent to doubling their breakthrough probability.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, the two cats breaking through to the Demon Saint level could be described as a sure thing.

Apart from these three Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng did not have much confidence in Kailan, Yuangungun, and the Crown Li-Fire Luan.

They had no external objects to assist them, nor were they as miraculous as the two cats; the probability of their first breakthrough was only about thirty percent, and that was still with the bonus of Epic Quality.

Furthermore, even for Epic Quality Demon Pets, they still could not escape the risk that the more times a breakthrough failed, the more the breakthrough probability would slide.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, the breakthrough probabilities of the six Demon Pets were roughly as follows:

Baitian and Heiye each had ninety percent, Aixi had eighty percent, and Kailan, Yuangungun, and the Crown Li-Fire Luan each had thirty percent.

It was also because of this that Li Zhangsheng's bottom line was for three Demon Pets to complete the breakthrough.

Under the envious gazes of the other Demon Pets, Aixi lay on the ground and began to absorb the Gold Profound Meaning Origin Crystal.

During the absorption process, golden light patterns appeared on Aixi's body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a golden cocoon, making it difficult to see the scene inside.

Not far away, Yuangungun lay on the ground in a posture it considered comfortable, closing its eyes to attempt the breakthrough, feeling as if it were just sleeping.

In the sky, Baitian, Heiye, Kailan, and the Crown Li-Fire Luan rose into the air together, as if turning into four light orbs of different colors, hanging above the Secret Realm.

The six light orbs expanded rapidly, as if turning into suns; for a time, colorful radiance completely shrouded the vicinity.

During the breakthrough process, the six Demon Pets began to frantically devour the nearby energy as the power source for their advancement.

However, compared to their appetites, the nearby energy could only be considered a drop in the bucket.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out dozens of Lord-tier Demon Cores and shattered them directly.

The reason he did not use Low-tier Demon Cores was mainly because the higher the tier of the Demon Core, the purer the energy it contained; not to mention whether it could provide help, it was mainly to avoid accidents.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng specifically took out a mass of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi and threw it toward the sky.

As Li Zhangsheng's thoughts moved, this mass of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi turned into six portions, each rushing into the bodies of the six Demon Pets, which could more or less increase their breakthrough probability.

Only by consuming a large amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi could the breakthrough probability of the Demon Pets be significantly increased; it was just that Li Zhangsheng did not have that much Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi in his hands for the time being.

Besides the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, Li Zhangsheng also released the Gate of Light and Darkness.

The Gate of Heaven hung above Baitian, and the Gate of Hell hung above Heiye; under their buffs, the aura of Baitian and Heiye rose quite a bit, though it was unknown whether it would bring help to their breakthrough.
