In the blink of an eye, one month passed. During the month, Xiang Shaoyun had spent his time killing Devil Kings at the second layer of Devil Domain. After a month of tempering, he had fully consolidated his cultivation base and had even grown slightly.

The main reason for his growth was the increased resonance between the powers of the yin devil wind and the silver lightning core in his body. The remaining wind and lightning energies of the two were also gradually transforming into astral energy of corresponding elements, further increasing Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation level.

On top of that, Xiang Shaoyun had also been absorbing devilish energy non stop to increase the power of his bloodline. By absorbing the devilish energy, not only had the power of his bloodline grown, his Nether Soul Domain had also improved and stored a large amount of devilish energy for the ghostrunes to use.. In any case, the devilish energy had no adverse effect on him for now, so he had no misgivings absorbing it.

During the month, Xiang Shaoyun had also killed over 400 Devil Kings all by himself. His Hurricane Kick and Vicious Prison Finger were also midway to full mastery, now capable of unleashing a prowess that could not be underestimated.

As for his Six Goldplate Manual, his fourth wall was at 70 percent completion. It wouldn't be long before he completed his fourth wall. At that time, his defensive prowess would also reach a brand new level.

At present, Xiang Shaoyun had earned over 3 million contribution points. How had he earned the contribution points so quickly? That was mainly thanks to his Nether Soul Domain. Many devils were helplessly reduced into ghostrune fodder after being trapped in the Nether Soul Domain.

Thus, with the devils killed by the ghostrunes adding to the total score of the devils he had personally killed, he had earned a massive number of contribution points. If he continued at this pace, he wouldn't even take long to earn 10 million contribution points. One ought to know that he hadn't even been seriously hunting.

"Now that the Vicious Prison Finger and Hurricane Kick are at a decent level, I can head to the third layer," muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he started rushing toward the entrance of the third layer.

In truth, with his current strength, he would be able to quickly get 10 million contribution points if he remained in the second layer. However, he wanted to enter the third layer and push himself to his limit there. Only by battling Devil Emperors would he be able to squeeze more of his potential out, pushing his combat prowess to an even higher level.

He wasn't cultivating so hard purely for the sake of entering the Dragon Phoenix Academy. His main source of motivation to grow stronger had always been to retake what was his. He traveled quickly, moving like the wind with an astonishing speed. He no longer spent much time on the devils he encountered on his way.

Since he had fully mastered the moving like the wind stage, further growth in his footwork intent would bring him to the shrinking space stage. Generally, only those who had reached the Sovereign Realm would be able to enter the shrinking space stage. If he wanted to reach that stage, he would need more than comprehension. He also needed a spark of inspiration or a fortuitous encounter to lead him into that stage.

A few days later, Xiang Shaoyun was approaching the third layer entrance. At a different direction leading to the same entrance, a group of people were escorting two beauties and heading somewhere.

If Xiang Shaoyun saw them, he would be able to recognize the two beauties. They were none other than Han Qianwei and Han Xuewei, the sisters he once freed. Things were not looking good for the sisters. They were tied up and being escorted by a group of people, and they both looked battered and exhausted.

The group escorting them were dressed in crimson outfits, each of them leaking a ruthless aura of bloodlust. Many of them kept glancing at the sisters and their seductive figures with a look of lust.

At this time, a gloomy young man said, "No, I can't take this anymore. I am going to ravage both of them right now. Don't even try to stop me!"

This young man had a handsome face, but his face was completely flushed red, and there was a sinister look in his eyes. One could see with a single glance that he was not a good person.

He wore an emperor armor and was a peak King. He was about 36 or 37 years old and could be considered young among cultivators. Of course, he was incomparable to those top geniuses, but he was still talented enough to have a bright future.

He was the Noxious Blood Gang leader's son, Xue Jianhe. He cultivated the Blood Sword technique, a powerful and domineering technique. He was a perverted person and many women of Bloodsin City had been ruined in his hands. In his eyes, the Han Clan sisters were women of the best quality, and he had been longing to lay his hands on them.

"Young Master He, it is better to wait. The monarch has commanded that we don't harm them. He said that they will be used to threaten Han Pojun to hand over the blood cocoon stone. If you touch them now, you will only ruin the monarch's plan," advised a seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert. This person was the strongest in the group, Meng Gansu.

"Shut your mouth, Old Meng. It is only a matter of time before I inherit my father's position. The reason I wanted to touch these two women is so I can use them to enter the Emperor Realm. It's not like I'm killing them. I won't spoil my old man's plan," said Xue Jianhe with a resentful look.

If it wasn't for Meng Gansu stopping him repeatedly, he would have taken the two women for himself by now. As of right now, his blood was boiling with lust. He felt like he would go mad if he still couldn't touch them.

Meng Gansu was feeling depressed. He was tasked to escort the two women safely back. If their great monarch's plan was spoiled, his sole punishment would be death. Their monarch had just become a Sovereign. He was now a super expert, a first-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, one who would have a considerable status even in the Bloodsin City. As for Meng Gansu, he was only a seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. There was no comparing him and the great monarch.

Meng Gansu further persuaded, "Young Master He, please be patient for a little bit more. When we are back in the city, I will get you 10 young beauties—"

But before he could finish his words, Xue Jianhe pushed him aside and said, "Piss off. Otherwise, after returning to the city, I will get my father to cripple you."

He then ignored Meng Gansu and approached the Han Clan sisters, scanning them from head to toe with his eyes. Before his penetrating gaze, the two beauties felt like they had been stripped naked, feeling extremely shameful.

"If you dare to touch us, our ancestor will not spare your Noxious Blood Gang!" Han Xuewei berated.

"Haha, your ancestor has probably died in cultivation. What can he even do about you two? Alright now. Be good and serve this young master nicely. If you do a good job, I might like you enough to spare your life," said Xue Jianhe as he howled with laughter. He then tore Han Qianwei's cloth apart, revealing her tender and mellow shoulders.

"You...you..." Han Xuewei was so furious she was shaking all over, her face flushed red with shame and resentment.

"Little sister, even if we die, we can't allow our clan to be insulted!" said Han Qianwei with a resolute look.

"Haha, sure, go ahead and die. I like corpses as well," said Xue Jianhe while laughing maniacally. The sisters paled upon hearing that.

Just as Xue Hejian was about to continue further, a voice laced with disdain rang out, "The Noxious Blood Gang is indeed filled with filth."
