Feng Yao's Corona had transformed into a Sanguine Spirit Dragon that continued to grow stronger, nearly solidifying into reality like a true dragon. It coiled around her fiery, alluring form, enhancing her beguiling beauty.

“This blood from the Harmony Divine Pool is truly potent,” Feng Yao remarked.

“Is that so? How's your progress?” Yun Xiao asked.

“I'm already in the Perfect Second Baptism Realm,” Feng Yao excitedly declared.

“Not bad.”

After advancing to the Second Baptism Realm, Feng Yao had quickly surpassed the Early stage, breaking through three stages—surpassing the Mid and Late stages to reach the Perfect stage!

Feng Yao was only a step away from the Establishment stage of the Second Baptism Realm. Then, she could attempt her third celestial baptism!

“Excellent, now you have a chance to attend the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects,” Yun Xiao stated.

He had waited so long for the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects, finally seeing a chance to escape this cursed place.

Though he had been in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm for barely three days, Yun Xiao was indeed impatient...

WHOOSH!

Feng Yao dispelled all the tribulation fog around her, her perfect form rising from the Harmony Divine Pool.

As the divine spring blood trickled down her flawless skin, she approached the Snow Lineage Diva.

Among these elders, each at least 20 times her age, none could match the talent of this 18-year-old devil girl, except for the Diva who relied solely on sheer desire to prevail, rendering the other Valkyrie Princesses lackluster.

However, none of them seemed to care. They were concerned with only one thing.

“She directly absorbed the Swallowing Heaven grade Calamity Source?”

“This is a miracle unprecedented in history!”

The elders of the Harmony Divine Palace felt their worlds turn upside down.

Within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, while the tale of Moon Fairy was still budding, the War Princess had already taken the lead, blossoming her talents in the Samsara Galaxy, once again causing a sensation.

“She challenged the First Baptism Realm with an Upper Sealing Heaven grade Calamity Source, ” the Diva, smiling contently, spoke with satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was even more astonished, half-believing that Feng Yao had made this daring decision during her first celestial baptism with the Diva by her side.

“No wonder the Diva was so confident.”

“This would shake the Samsara Galaxy if it ever got out of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm!”

The Harmony Divine Pool was abuzz with excitement.

And there, the Diva, extending a hand with a smile, welcomed Feng Yao.

As Feng Yao approached, their hands clasped firmly. With a gentle tug, the Diva embraced her fully.

PLOP!

The Diva whispered into her ear, “Yao Yao, although I’m close to realizing my dreams, I’ve lost what was most essential to uphold. You are my dream, you must hold on, you must succeed.”

“Mhmm! I definitely will!” Feng Yao didn’t quite grasp her meaning, but seeing her sincerity, she nodded politely.

“Diva, is it about time I attend the selection of the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects?” Feng Yao asked softly.

“Let’s embrace a moment longer, there’s still time,” the Diva smiled.

“Alright.” Feng Yao nodded, enduring the strangeness, feeling the warmth of the Diva.

“Wait!” She looked down at the Diva close-up, with white hair and pink eyes, and couldn’t help but grit her teeth and ask again, “Yun Xiao, are you still watching?”

Lazily, from within her heart, the youth replied, “Yup, I'm still watching.”

?ι══????????══ι?

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Back in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, within the Great Dry Well in the Beast Path, fire, thunder, wind, and ice collided relentlessly.

These desolate forces, derived from the Celestial Sourcecore, were like fierce beasts with sentience, wreaking havoc everywhere.

Desolation and tribulations were somewhat alike, both mingling elemental forces related to the natural elements of wind, fire, thunder, and so on.

Desolation was more widespread, found across the world.

Tribulation, however, converged in the Myriad Daos Ocean of Calamity, scattered like particles across various places.

In other words, desolation was dispersed, while calamity was concentrated.

What they shared was their ferocity and destructiveness.

As a demon, Moon Fairy, whether dealing with desolation or tribulations, needed both to forge his physical body and cultivate its demonic power.

"Moon Bro!"

At this moment, amidst the swirling mists of desolation, a nine-tailed silver fox and five-colored qilin played and tussled joyfully.

The younger five-colored qilin, although smaller in age, was larger in size than the nine-tailed silver fox.

Of course, the silver fox, with its sleek form and shimmering silver glow, possessed an enchanting allure, marking a distinct presence.

Traditionally, foxes served as vassals to qilins, especially this five-colored qilin, a rare breed within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, naturally noble, born a ruler.

Yet, here and now, the silver fox and the qilin chased and frolicked, laughing and playing, occasionally rolling into a ball like two playful pups.

"Haha…" Yun Xiao had always used this body double for battle, but today, for the second time, he used it for play, which felt quite amusing.

As a child, he often watched puppies at play, and now, embodying this fox among the swirling mist of desolation, he wrestled, tumbled, and played hide-and-seek with the five-colored qilin, rediscovering a long-lost childhood innocence.

"I've caught you!"

With a swift turn, the little qilin pounced on him, and the two rolled together in the sea of desolation, the qilin's bell-like laughter easily melting away worries.

After rolling about, Moon Fairy gazed down at the little qilin in his arms, and as their eyes met, a blush of shyness rose in her colorful eyes.

"What is this, it hurts!" the qilin exclaimed as she released him, her voice tender.

"Don't be silly, it's just a fox tail," Moon Fairy quickly reassured.

"A fox tail? Let me count, how many tails do you have?" The little qilin moved behind him, staring and starting to count.

"Ten?" she asked, puzzled.

"Nine, nine tails." Moon Fairy quickly turned around as well.

He remembered how puppies liked to snuggle up behind, and now, in his beastly form, he feared she might suddenly brush up against something.

"Qiqi, let's switch to human form!" Moon Fairy pleaded, his face flushing.

"No! I don't like human forms. Mother said we are demons, and we should never forget our true selves," Qiqi insisted earnestly.

"Alright then!" Moon Fairy could only nod in agreement.

"Thank you for playing with me; I'm so happy! Before, it was always Shi Chan, Mo Sha, and them following me around, and they're no fun at all, always so formal," Qi Qiqi pouted.

"It's my pleasure, especially since you gave me a Swallowing Heaven grade Calamity Source," Moon Fairy said with a laugh.

He had no choice! He was in need of a good Calamity Source and had ended up as a rich little girl's playmate!

If he were to curry favor with the likes of the Desolation Marshal for a Swallowing Heaven grade Calamity Source, he'd have to earn quite a bit of merit, which would be troublesome.

While Feng Yao was undergoing her second celestial baptism, Moon Fairy was also facing his own.

He had used the Swallowing Heaven grade Calamity Source called Myriad Evil White Thunder.

Now, the Divine Desolation Physique and Demon Source surged within him, mingling with the Myriad Evil White Thunder and desolate energies stirring through his body.

After successfully transcending the tribulation, Moon Fairy used the unattended desolation in this Great Dry Well to break into the Establishment Stage of the Second Baptism Realm, advancing one stage higher than Feng Yao.

With a bit more consolidation, he was ready to challenge the Third Baptism Realm!

Though there had been little conflict recently, Moon Fairy's combat strength had surged tremendously.

"Hey, keep playing with me," the little qilin laughed, leaping at him again, her clear laughter echoing in all directions.

Moon Fairy, helpless, could only continue to entertain her.

The little qilin hadn't been this happy in a long time and was thoroughly enjoying herself.

Yun Xiao guessed it was because her high status made her peers wary of being too bold with her. He was different.

"Hahaha..!"

Joyful laughter spread far and wide.

Colorful and white figures chased and tumbled...

"Stop!!"

"How dare you defile the daughter of the Desolation Marshal!"

"Cast him out; bring him to the Desolation Marshal!"

Suddenly, three furious roars boomed from above.

Moon Fairy paused, pushing the little qilin beside him away slightly and looked up.

There, three massive beasts, a lion, tiger, and leopard, descended from the skies, their rage billowing!
