Chapter 416: Ten Individuals Breaking Through?

Yue Bo and Balmond came out of their seclusion after stabilizing their realms. They chatted as soon as they saw each other. 

"How"s your cultivation Brother Yue?" Balmond asked with a wide smile.

Yue Bo chuckled as he released his aura. "After gaining mastery over the technique that Wine Master Jiu Shen pa.s.sed to me, I"m not at the mid stage of the Void G.o.d Realm!" 

Balmond was surprised when he sensed his cultivation level. He knew that Yue Bo had just stepped into the Void G.o.d Realm when he first saw this guy. To think that he had caught up to him in just a few months! 

Balmond sighed and shook his head. "And here I thought that I was the only one who broke through..." 

He then released his aura. 

Mid stage Void G.o.d Realm!

Yue Bo was stunned, but he soon calmed down. Balmond also had his technique edited by Jiu Shen, so his growth wasn"t too surprising for him. 

Yue Bo changed the topic and said with worry. "I wonder what happened to Wine Master Jiu Shen? Before he took us out of the Spirit World, there was a phenomenon that blotted the skies! It was the first time I"ve seen that kind of thing!" 

Balmond furrowed his eyebrows, but he soon relaxed. "What could happen to him? The huge eyeball that came out during his tribulation was scarier. That phenomenon must be related to his cultivation, so don"t worry about him. He will be fine."

Hearing this, Yue Bo nodded his head. 

Balmond suddenly slapped his thigh as he exclaimed. "Oh, right! Wine Master Jiu Shen asked me to pa.s.s the throne to Cornelia after I come out of the Spirit World. I should prepare for that. Do you have any suggestions, Brother Yue?" 

Although Yue Bo once held a high status in the Alliance a few ten thousand years ago, he was no expert about imperial ceremonies. He thought for a moment before he voiced out his words. "Brother Balmond, to tell you the truth, I can"t give you a good suggestion. However, we should first announce the ascension of Cornelia and observe the reaction of everyone. After all, you are still healthy and vigorous, but you are suddenly pa.s.sing the leaders.h.i.+p to your daughter. This would certainly make those n.o.bles feel suspicious. I believe your Bloodfallen Family should have hidden enemies here, am I right?" 

Balmond frowned as he nodded his head. "Indeed. Your words are spot on, Brother Yue. Our Great Demon Empire was built under the leaders.h.i.+p of the Three Ancient Families with our Bloodfallen Family being one of the three. As for the remaining two, they are the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family. At that time, our Bloodfallen Family had the strongest force, so the Three Ancient Families unanimously agreed that the first emperor of the Great Demon Empire would be from the Bloodfallen Family. However, the strength of our Bloodfallen Family slowly fell after the death of the founder. Frictions between our three families started at that moment."

Yue Bo was silent as he listened to his story. 

Just then, the two of them suddenly frowned and turned their heads in a certain direction. 

They slowly hovered in midair and glanced at the dark clouds converging. It was quite far from their location, but with their level, they could use the power of s.p.a.ce to reach the place in just a few minutes. However, the two men dared not do that. Because the phenomenon they were seeing right now was a tribulation! 

"Who is breaking through this time?" Balmond muttered while looking at the dark clouds. 

"I don"t know, but from the looks of it, there isn"t just one person breaking through. I could sense the aura of at least ten individuals trying to breakthrough." Yue Bo was slightly shocked. That was ten people breaking through the Nascent G.o.d Realm simultaneously! He was also confused since he somehow felt that some of those guys looked familiar.

"I wonder which faction is strong enough to nurture this many elites?" 

"We will know soon..."

Meanwhile, Long Meili"s group who was about to return suddenly stopped their flight. They then turned their heads and looked at the darkening skies a few miles away from them. 

"Someone is breaking through?" Cornelia muttered.

"Not just someone. There are more than ten of them." Long Meili furrowed her eyebrows as she used her spiritual power to scan the place. Her expression then eased up as she chuckled. 

When Ice and Aren saw her expression, they became curious. They used their spiritual perception to see what was happening. 

Aren was confused when he saw the individuals beneath the tribulation clouds. 

On the other hand, Ice revealed a look of surprise when she saw them. "To think that those kids are now a step closer to becoming peak experts..." 

"Sister Ice, Sister Meili, you know those people?" Aren asked the two women as he looked at them with perplexity. 

Cornelia who wasn"t even strong enough to perceive anything could only stare at them with bewilderment. She was just a Nascent G.o.d Realm expert and her spiritual perception wasn"t strong enough to see that far yet. 

Long Meili smiled as she answered. "In the Profound Dragon Continent, the master created the Heavenly Sword Tower. Those humans breaking through right now are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower"s Blood Sword Division. They are the most elite bunch amongst our disciples." 

"That"s right! I even taught some of those kids a few of my moves!" Ice who was in her cat form chimed in with a smug look. 

Hm? Heavenly Sword Tower? Blood Sword Division?

"So that guy has a sect in the Profound Dragon Continent... From how it looks, this sect might be even stronger than our Great Demon Empire..." Cornelia thought in her heart. 

"I see..." Aren nodded his head. 

"We should go there and see the situation. We can also protect those kids if someone tries to cause trouble." Ice changed back into her human form and swiftly flew towards the direction of the tribulation clouds. 

The others immediately followed her.
