"Yun Hua, do you want to recover a bit before we move forward?"

Ji Yueshen glanced at Yun Hua’s miserable appearance. Just as the battle commenced, this girl flipped her twin tail hair, furrowed her little brows, and charged forward recklessly, injuring the enemy fiercely but harming herself as well, dealing a thousand damage to the enemy while sustaining eight hundred herself. Although she slayed a demon, she got hurt too.

"Yun Hua, you are at Half-step Supreme Peak State. Even if you just got injured, you should be able to recover instantly by utilizing Divine Power, right?" Ziyun looked at Yun Hua, feeling a bit strange. "Moreover, didn’t I just give you healing elixir? Did you actually take it?"

In Ziyun’s memories, Yun Hua was quite frugal as a child. In the recent battle, even when she approached the strength of Half-step Supreme, she easily recovered, yet Yun Hua still appeared miserable, which was indeed odd.

Once Ziyun spoke, everyone showed expressions of doubt, except Yun Long who chuckled, "Our Du family produced such a Half-step Supreme Peak State level individual, who might even hope to ascend to Supreme, which is a great honor. But my sister’s personality... is somewhat masochistic and frugal."

"Isn’t it more than just a bit?"

The Sky Dragon King revealed a knowing smile, seemingly understanding.

"At this extent of masochism, this level of frugality, it seems it has formed into some kind of path, her own path. The extreme Left Path turning into the Righteous Path, is this the true essence of reaching Supreme?" Ziyun seemed to have realized something.

The Sky Dragon King was also taken aback, a sharp light flickering in his eyes.

Aside from Ji Yueshen, the Black Forest Demon King, and Ape Ancestor, instantly stood in place like statues, not moving a bit.

Yun Hua, however, chuckled, "You’ve guessed it. I’ve had this habit since I was little. Later, during battles, I felt the more miserably I got beaten, the more endless War Intent I had. I don’t understand any path or whatnot."

"But, the more others beat me, the more I explode, always fighting to the end. As for being frugal, that’s just my personal habit, Ziyun Sister, I stored away that Immortal Pill you gave just now. Don’t waste it; I never use elixir unless advancing in level."

Yun Hua’s words shocked everyone. She definitely took it to the extreme. For practitioners, elixir and Magic Treasure are the greatest assist, yet Yun Hua is truly an exception... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Ziyun and the others started Enlightenment right there, paying no mind even to Half-step Supreme Level demons reviving in the distance.

...

Zhao Han and the Fire Qilin, one man and one Divine Beast, walked alone in the Secret Realm, their shadows stretched long by the slanted sunset, resembling a tail.

Zhao Han was the reincarnation of Tao Ancestor, and since integrating with being Drunk, his Tao Ancestor Divine Soul fully awakened.

His strength now reached the Peak of Heavenly Monarch, only a step away from Half-step Supreme Realm, yet his combat power was almost equal to Chen Nan. Once he released his Ancient Tower, all Demon Gods within a hundred-mile radius fled.

Since the return of the Tao Ancestor Divine Soul, the deterrence within his Divine Soul was such that no one in the Mortal World could resist.

"Little Fire, where shall we find your godfather? This Secret Realm is such a damned mess." Zhao Han gradually rode on the Fire Qilin.

"Uncle Zhao, godfather should come looking for us. Oh, look over there, there’s a palace ahead. Let’s go in and take a look."

The Fire Qilin suddenly blinked and saw a huge palace not far ahead. The palace shimmered with radiant colors and was surprisingly forged from a massive Crystal Stone, emitting a peculiar power from afar.

"So comfortable, warm!" The Fire Qilin couldn’t help but sneeze.

"Seems there are good things inside this palace, yet in this God Demon Secret Realm, neither demons nor Divines are well-meaning entities. We must better proceed cautiously."

After exchanging a few words, Zhao Han and the Fire Qilin started heading towards the great hall.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, suddenly, the door behind them closed, bringing darkness inside.

However, Zhao Han and the Fire Qilin remained calm, swiftly activating the Ancient Tower Magic Treasure. It rotated inside the hall, absorbing streams of black energy, lighting up the hall again.

Inside this hall stood a Stone Statue, emanating a divine aura that compelled people to bow instantly.

The Fire Qilin’s limbs nearly buckled, almost kneeling on the spot.

However, since it followed Chen Nan, its stubbornness grew stronger than before, refusing to bow to anyone except its godfather.

"Little Fire, this statue is peculiar, giving an unbearable sense of pressure. This is strange, no Supreme Expert has ever made me feel this way."

Divine Power flowed through Zhao Han’s body, and though his Realm hadn’t reached Half-step Supreme Realm, his strength almost equaled Supreme, similar to Chen Nan, daring to battle Supreme.

Since integrating with the Drunk Divine Soul, given time, he would truly be Tao Ancestor.

"This statue is too domineering, pulling people towards kneeling with just a glance. Does it fancy itself the Supreme King?" Fire Qilin snorted.

Yet the statue remained motionless like a mountain, capturing not a single sign of life.

"Tiny humans, what is a Supreme King? To a Supreme King, I am also an insurmountable Divine!"

A Divine Thought spread throughout the hall, conveying from the statue, which suddenly seemed alive.

Zhao Han chuckled, "Divine, I’ve heard my brother mention that he encountered self-proclaimed Divines in the God and Demon Tower. So, are you one of those from Outer Heaven, seemingly bound here too?"

"Fools, the prisoners of the God and Demon Tower cannot compare to this being. This being merely utilizes the power here to revive. Soon, the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms shall be traversed easily. Today, with Netherworld Demonic Energy surging, marks the day of my return."

This voice carried an intensely grating sound.

Yet such momentum is only emitted by a Supreme Expert.

"Revive?"

Zhao Han’s expression shifted, "Chen Nan suspected involvement by Ghost Venerable, cautioning us to beware. Could it be Ghost Venerable plans to revive this being?"

If true, once the Outer Heaven Demon revives, they would perish inside the Secret Realm.

"Godfather said, although Ghost Venerable’s temperament is peculiar, he likely wouldn’t act against Four Extremes World justice, probably wouldn’t commit such acts." The Fire Qilin tilted its head, pondering aloud.

"Godfather said Ghost Venerable and Demon Path Supreme were peers; his wish may be reviving Demon Path Supreme. Yet Heart Demon resides with godfather; Demon Path Supreme must have Heart Demon depart first for revival."

Zhao Han shook his head, "No trace of Heart Demon’s presence here. Given Heart Demon’s strength, within this Secret Realm, it remains free to come and go. Seems matters are more complex."

After exchanging Divine Thought with Fire Qilin, he addressed the statue, "Senior, are you the Demon Path Supreme?!" He deliberately probed.
