On the other side.

There is still half a month's journey left to the destination left by Tushan Yueli.

Gu Xing leads several Guardian Beasts on a swift journey, continuously clearing Demon Race outposts along the way.

This period of battles has made him clearly feel that the first Divine Pattern on his forehead is becoming increasingly full.

The golden lines are flowing with surging power, seemingly ready to break through the critical point at any moment.

"It seems that it won't be long before the first Divine Pattern brings an attribute enhancement."

His current goal is very clear—

First, elevate his own attributes to the peak of Commander Level, while also completing the final preparations for Qing Shuang's advancement.

In the depths of his mind, he has a premonition:

First, enhance the Guardian Beast's talent to Myth Nine Stars, then assist them in advancing to Monarch Level, the enhancement brought will be even more astonishing!

And now...

Vera and Liu Li's talent has already been enhanced to Myth Nine Stars.

Sally's talent is truly too low...

Trying to enhance it to Myth Nine Stars is too difficult, hence it's not considered.

As for Qing Shuang, only one Ghost Core material is missing.

And Fei Yue...

[Ghost Race (Fei Yue)]

[Status: Twin Contract]

[Talent: Myth Five Stars]

[Level: Commander Tier Nine]

[Power: 20000→50000]

[Constitution: 20000→50000]

[Spirit: 20000→50000]

[Speed: 20000→50000]

[Skills: Instant Flash, Voidification, Void Cutting, Void Domain]

Although her level was recently elevated to Commander Tier Nine, all attributes have yet to reach the limit of this level.

Gu Xing is currently planning on the Commander Level...

To simultaneously elevate Fei Yue's talent to Myth Nine Stars, striving to max out each of her attributes.

After all, even though Fei Yue isn't particularly adept at combat, her control over the Void is an indispensable ability for him.

Moreover...

Fei Yue is also his Guardian Beast, so he certainly cannot show favoritism.

It's just that the materials needed for enhancing Fei Yue's talent are giving him a headache:

[Void Stone, Heart of Void, Void Insect Race Essence Blood]

Regarding the Void Stone, he has heard about it.

The other two, he has never heard of!

And as for that Void Insect Race Essence Blood...

Honestly speaking.

In the Alternate Space, Gu Xing has never heard of this race.

Let alone...

The need to obtain the essence blood from this race!

Thinking of this, he gently shakes his head.

For now, let's focus on Qing Shuang's talent enhancement and breaking through his own attributes.

As for Fei Yue's materials, he can only slowly investigate them in the future.

After all, who knows when the next Divine Secret Realm will open.

When that time comes, the level allowed to enter the Divine Secret Realm will be below Totem Level.

Truthfully, in his current state, he doesn't have absolute confidence.

Though when facing Monarch Level experts, even if the opponent is stronger, he has the confidence to fight and win.

But if confronted with a Half-step Totem Level opponent...

Gu Xing's fingertips unconsciously rub against the Divine Pattern, his brows furrowing.

Vera and Liu Li, with just a hint of Power of Laws, can easily overpower Monarch Level experts.

If encountering an enemy with near-perfect Law Control...

Absolutely no chance of victory!

Thinking of this, Gu Xing takes a deep breath.

Though he strives to ensure each Guardian Beast receives the best cultivation, if unable to reach the short-term goals, he may have to choose to first break through to Monarch Level, securing the base combat strength.

After resting for a moment, Gu Xing prepares to call the Guardian Beasts to set off on the journey once more.

However.

"Boom—!!"

A sudden explosion shakes the earth, mountains tremble.

Gu Xing's nerves instantly tighten, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.

"What's going on?"

The Human Race has not explored the Alternate Space much.

This area is even more remote from Human Race territories.

Thus, utmost caution is required.

Vera and Liu Li also instantly enter combat mode.

However...

Lilith appears suddenly, a hint of urgency on her face.

"Gu Xing, have Fei Yue take you into the Void, quickly."

This is the first time Gu Xing has seen Lilith so out of composure.

Even though he doesn't understand, he hesitates not for a moment, shouting:

"Fei Yue."

Almost the instant the command is spoken, Fei Yue has already pulled him into the Void.

At the same time, Lilith grabs the other Guardian Beasts, retreating rapidly into the Beast Taming Space.

"Lilith, what's exactly happening?" Gu Xing urgently asks through the Spiritual Link.

Lilith's voice rarely tightens: "You'll find out soon..."

As soon as she finishes speaking, a shadow that covers the skies crushes the spot where they originally stood.

When Gu Xing sees the true form of that colossal creature, his pupils shrink dramatically—

It was a giant centipede several hundred meters long!

Its pitch-black shell entangled with sticky Demonic Qi, each section of its body gleaming with metal-like cold light.

As it moved, the ground was plowed open like tofu without effort.

Just when Gu Xing was in shock, the monster suddenly stopped.

The massive head, tens of meters high, suddenly lifts, hundreds of multifaceted eyes simultaneously turning to a certain spot in the Void...

The exact place where they were hiding!

As soon as he was targeted, Gu Xing's blood seemed to freeze.

Piercing cold surged from the soles of his feet to his crown, even his breath came to a halt.

Fei Yue's Void Concealment is difficult to detect even for Half-step Totem Level, yet this monster...

"Don't move!" Lilith sternly warns from the Beast Taming Space, "Absolutely don't reveal even a hint of hostility! Otherwise, we'll all die!"

Fortunately, the horrifying centipede merely glanced casually, losing interest, and continued to swim away into the distance.

Not until the shadow that covered the skies vanished completely from view did Gu Xing feel his heart begin to beat again.

In that moment, he genuinely felt the threat of death.

If that monster had attacked him, he would surely have died.

Lilith's figure reappears, her always calm face rare with gravity:

"Luckily, you are too weak right now to attract its interest."

Gu Xing slowly regains his composure, stiffly turning to look at Lilith.

"Fierce Beast!"

Lilith explains in a deep voice, "Not often heard of in Human Race territories? They are monsters infected by Demonic Qi but not controlled by the Demon Race."

"Fierce Beasts, at minimum, possess Monarch Level strength; these are called ordinary Fierce Beasts."

"Above ordinary Fierce Beasts, there are four King-level Fierce Beasts."

Speaking of this, Lilith's gaze turns sharp:

"That was one of them—Nine Nether Centipede King, the same one that defeated me back then."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing's pupils contract.

King-level Fierce Beast!

This term is the first he's hearing.

But to have injured Totem Level Lilith, this Nine Nether Centipede King, at the very least, is Totem Level.

Yet Lilith suddenly frowns:

"Logically, this creature should only linger in its territory! Why has it come here?"

After pondering without conclusion, Lilith shakes her head:

"Forget it, let's keep moving, stay away from that thing. As you are now, you wouldn't even have a chance to escape if faced with it."

"Understood."

Gu Xing solemnly nods, immediately adjusting his route, slightly veering off the original direction, and continues advancing toward the Qingqiu Race.

However, what no one noticed was that the direction in which the terrifying Nine Nether Centipede King proceeded was precisely...

The Qingqiu Race's encampment!
