Chapter 312: Chapter 306: Return to the Nine Heavens

Roar!

The roar brimming with magnificent divine might exploded, and the Great Sun Giant Ape’s consciousness suddenly broke free from the invisible intimidation. A trace of fright emerged in its eyes that burned with golden flames.

"How terrifying, just the image engraved on the token almost made me lose control of my mind."

"What is the origin of this Dragon Palace, is it from the Celestial Demon or the most ancient Immortal Demon Era?"

After calming down, the Great Sun Giant Ape looked again at the floating token in the air, steadied its mind, and reached out its hand to grab it.

Suddenly, its consciousness boomed, and it vaguely saw an even more towering Ice Crystal Palace.

However, just like last time, as the space around the Great Sun Giant Ape distorted and was about to sink, a more majestic and terrifying dragon roar exploded.

Immediately, a powerful repulsion burst forth, shaking the Great Sun Giant Ape out, and the surrounding space twisted into existence on the coast.

At the same time, in its consciousness, a dignified dragon roar exploded.

"The basic threshold for the third trial of the Dragon Palace is Nine Heavens cultivation level. You, at Tier Eight, are not yet qualified to worship the great will projection of Cecilia."

As expected, it needs to wait until the next breakthrough. The Great Sun Giant Ape’s eyes burned with flames, having anticipated this result, then becoming thoughtful.

Cecilia, is that the name of the Dragon King for the next Dragon Palace guardian?

And does the Nine Heavens cultivation level refer to Tier Nine?

Suddenly, the Great Sun Giant Ape’s body rapidly shrank, the golden radiance and flames on its body dissipated, and it instantly returned to its normal height of two hundred meters.

Yet, the Great Sun form, which lasted so long, only consumed some energy within the Chaos Giant Ape, without any feeling of weakness.

This breakthrough not only made the Great Sun form stronger and more stable, but the breakthrough in realm and bloodline also made the burst more enduring, tens of times that of Tier Seven.

At the same time, this trial battle also gave the Chaos Giant Ape a clearer positioning of its own strength.

The second limit-breaking is strong, but it’s somewhat weaker than previously estimated, or the gap between Tier Nine and Tier Eight is larger than imagined.

In its normal Late-tier Eight strength, the Divine Blood Fury state is comparable to the Tier Eight Limit, invincible in the same tier.

While entering the Great Sun form’s second limit-breaking barely shattered the class shackles, comparable to Early-tier Nine, with the reference being the demigod that Jiang Ruochan slew.

At that time, the demigod’s effortless might was about the same as the destructive power of the Great Sun form.

However, for it, this was just the beginning, and when it breaks through Mid-tier Eight to Late-tier Eight, the basic growth burst form will naturally become stronger.

Hu! Time to return. The Chaos Giant Ape let out a long breath and then its form shrank again and vanished.

...

Night! Past five in the morning.

In the pitch-black room, the space slightly distorted, and Jiang Hou appeared out of thin air with a black Emperor’s Robe, then froze for a moment.

Because lying on his bed were two women.

Qin Siyu, wearing pink pajamas, with messy hair, lying sideways, her fair and slender right leg horizontally placed, pressed against the humanoid waist of Feitong.

The sleeping Feitong had white fox ears emerging atop her head, with seven white fluffy tails spread out behind her, occupying most of the bed space.

Most importantly, Feitong’s pajamas were very sexy, a short strap dress.

In the sprawled sleeping posture, the spring light leaked out, almost exposing everything that should be covered, such as the white underwear at the end of her jade-like legs.

At that moment, sensing the slight spatial fluctuation, Feitong hummed, with sleepy eyes opening.

"Jiang Hou, you’re back."

Speaking, the white-haired, red-eyed girl yawned, glanced at the dark night outside the window, and then scooted her bottom inside: "It’s not dawn yet, want to sleep for a bit more?"

"Sleep more!" Jiang Hou’s mouth twitched.

Seeing the white-haired girl fall back asleep instantly, he didn’t wake her but took out his phone.

As expected, as soon as his phone was retrieved from the storage space, it constantly vibrated upon connecting to the signal, with over a hundred messages refreshing.

Most of these messages were from Li Mengwu, some daily ’greetings,’ asking if he had come out of retreat.

Besides, there were nine urgent messages; during his retreat, three large channels in the southwestern six provinces were attacked.

On the third day of his deep sleep, Salt Mountain faced a monster tide attack stirred by a Tier Seven Demon God but was suppressed by Feitong alone.

The other two impacts were on the fifth and ninth days, by a Tier Seven Ferocious Beast and a Tier Seven Evil God, respectively.

Briefly glancing at all the messages, Jiang Hou replied to Li Mengwu that he returned, then sat down at the desk and opened his smart watch.

Jiang Hou logged into the Sky Net backend, starting to browse domestic and international materials during this period.

Other regions in Dongqin were similar to the southwest, encountering multiple monster tide impacts, the most terrifying being a Late-tier Eight Demon God.

In that area, upon sensing the terrifying aura of the Demon God, the guardian resolutely withdrew and directly detonated the channel.

Apart from Dongqin, the situation in other global countries wasn’t much better, encountering over a hundred monster tide impacts stirred by Evil Gods within his twelve days of retreat.

Most were stopped, a few chose to painfully destroy the channel for self-preservation.

Five couldn’t destroy the channel in time, were torn through defenses by monsters, invading the real world causing massive casualties ranging from tens to millions.

Currently, those three Tier Seven Peak, Half-Step Tier Eight, and Early-tier Eight Evil Gods were all besieged or repelled by dispatched strong ones.

Though the monsters were suppressed, their impact has already spread.

Currently, the internet is full of monster attack news, corpses strewn everywhere, especially those few countries that failed to stop the Evil God invasion, it’s a state of panic among the people.

After viewing these materials, Jiang Hou’s expression became somewhat grave.

Because the impact from the ruins monsters hasn’t weakened over time, but intensified, and the appearance of ruinous fissures has recently become more frequent.

As Jiang Hou pondered, the sky was gradually brightening.

"Jiang Hou, you’re back."

On the bed, Qin Siyu opened her eyes, seeing the back sitting by the window, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Mm, I’m back."

Jiang Hou turned around, warmly smiling at the bedraggled-haired girl on the bed: "Wash your face first, I have something to go out for, will be back soon."

"...Okay." Qin Siyu paused, then nodded obediently.

Jiang Hou watched the girl enter the bathroom, then his figure slightly swayed and disappeared amidst the slightly swaying curtains.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Hou appeared on the rooftop of a skyscraper kilometers away, with cold eyes looking at the shadowed corner where a silhouette flickered in and out.

This breakthrough, with the surge of soul, made Jiang Hou’s perception incredibly terrifying.

Upon returning earlier, he vaguely sensed a power reaching Tier Seven lurking nearby, but at that time was busy assessing recent changes, so he ignored it.
