The first to complete the breakthrough was Qing Shuang.

Dense Netherworld Ghost Qi surged out from her body, spreading swiftly like ink-colored tides, engulfing the entire cave in darkness.

The mist churned and flowed, spontaneously condensing mid-air into a gigantic Ghost King Illusion—

With a single horn on its head, its outline remarkably resembled Qing Shuang's true form.

As the illusion gradually solidified, Qing Shuang's aura also skyrocketed, her attribute values experiencing explosive growth:

[Ghost Race (Qing Shuang)]

[Level: Commander Tier Nine → Monarch Tier One]

[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]

[Power: 90000 → 150000]

[Constitution: 70000 → 130000]

[Spirit: 60000 → 100000]

[Speed: 70000 → 130000]

[Skills: Ghost King Form, Ghost Race Four Techniques, Ghost King Domain, Law of Power]

Observing Qing Shuang's improved attributes, Gu Xing nodded slightly.

Lilith, at Monarch Tier Five, had each attribute around 200,000 points.

Yet, Qing Shuang, even at just Monarch Tier One,

already had a Power attribute reaching 150,000 points.

If Qing Shuang's level reaches Monarch Tier Five, her Power attribute would undoubtedly far surpass Lilith.

Moreover, he also noticed that after stepping into Monarch Level, the attributes of Guardian Beasts started to significantly differentiate, unlike the balanced development at lower levels.

However, such a situation is not necessarily a bad thing.

For Qing Shuang...

Power is her most important attribute, above all others.

Gu Xing shifted his gaze from Qing Shuang to Vera.

He saw an aura of emerald light appearing around her, and the Netherworld Ghost Qi previously enveloping her seemed to be repelled by a gentle but irresistible force.

The air atop the snowy peak trembled slightly, Life Energy in the wind and snow began converging toward her like tides.

As a Life Spirit, when Vera breaks through, she unconsciously mobilizes any absorbable Power of Life around her.

At this moment, she resembled an invisible vortex—

Sturdy icefield moss and snow flowers, even roots buried deep under the permafrost, withered and decayed at a visibly rapid pace.

Their Life Energy transformed into wisps of light, flowing toward Vera's location.

Moreover, tiny insects hidden in snow crevices also silently lost vitality in an instant, their minimal Life Force being ruthlessly extracted.

After experiencing a rebirth through reincarnation, Vera's mastery of Life Law was no longer limited to plants.

Any life form with a Life Force lower than hers could become a target of her unconscious plundering.

As Life Energy from the summit of the snow mountain continuously infused her, the green light around Vera intensified, and her aura finally surged to its peak.

The next moment, her attributes began to rapidly grow, officially stepping into a new realm.

[Life Spirit (Vera)]

[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]

[Level: Commander Tier Nine → Monarch Tier One]

[Status: Normal]

[Power: 65000 → 100000]

[Constitution: 65000 → 100000]

[Spirit: 90000 → 160000]

[Speed: 65000 → 100000]

[Skills: Life Spirit Form (including Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Life Blooming, etc.), Reincarnation, Life Domain, Life Law]

Upon breaking through to Monarch Level, Vera's Spiritual Power growth was particularly astounding—

directly skyrocketing from 90,000 to 160,000, far exceeding Qing Shuang's growth.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean her combat abilities are stronger than Qing Shuang's.

Both possess top-level Myth Nine Stars talent and have comprehended the Power of Origin Laws, making it difficult to simply assess their true combat strength.

More importantly, their development paths are distinctly different:

Qing Shuang pursues extreme instantaneous burst power.

With the dual boost of "Ghost Race Four Techniques" and "Law of Power," she can unleash world-shattering force in an instant, like a thunderous strike, overwhelming strong enemies.

In contrast, Vera has taken a different path.

With her absolute control over the Power of Life, she can continuously draw energy from all living beings in her surroundings and convert it for her use.

Theoretically, as long as given enough time to store power, she can even manipulate a torrent of life far beyond her realm, crushing opponents.

As Qing Shuang and Vera successively completed their breakthroughs, their auras gradually stabilized, and Gu Xing slowly turned his gaze to the last one—

Liu Li!

After Liu Li's last fall and rebirth, Gu Xing truly confronted the emotion in his heart that he could no longer ignore.

He realized that for this clear-eyed young girl who had always stayed by his side, his feelings exceeded the bond between master and Guardian Beast.

At this moment, Liu Li's brows furrowed, her aura fluctuated continuously, although it was increasingly strengthening, she was still unable to break through the boundary of Monarch Level.

Worry flashed across Gu Xing's eyes.

Qing Shuang and Vera had smooth, unimpeded breakthroughs, so why Liu Li alone ...

Could it be a hidden issue from her last death?

Just then, the nearby Snow Woman's expression suddenly changed, and she backed away sharply.

She finally sensed the anomaly.

Initially, she was awestruck by the astonishing aura during Qing Shuang and Vera's breakthroughs—

These two Guardian Beasts were only at Monarch Tier One, yet their breakthrough magnitude was comparable to a Half-step Totem!

She also finally understood why Lilith insisted she exhaust Spiritual Power to heal them. Their potential indeed far exceeded her imagination.

And at this moment, what horrified her even more was this Angel before her.

An exceptionally scorching aura began to seep from Liu Li's body, slowly melting the ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years in the cave!

This was the heart of the Snow Domain, where the profound ice had remained unchanged for millennia, capable of withstanding molten lava for a brief period.

It was precisely by this extreme cold land that the Snow Woman could enhance her strength to Totem Tier Two over a century.

Yet now, this eternal ice was melting under the unconscious heat emitted by this Angel.

Gu Xing suddenly realized:

The extreme conditions were hindering Liu Li's breakthrough.

"Fei Yue!"

With a thought, Fei Yue appeared in response.

Following Gu Xing's silent instructions, she instantly moved to Liu Li's side, taking her with her to outside the snow cave.

On the ice field outside the cave, the bitterly cold wind continued to howl.

Yet at the very moment Liu Li emerged from the cave—

A tremendous oppressive force exploded forth!

The scorching Fire of Destruction surged out from her body, engulfing her in fierce flames instantly.

Under this extreme heat, the snow within a hundred-mile radius momentarily halted, the air temperature rapidly climbed.

Liu Li's aura finally ascended to its peak, with no further hindrance.

Her attributes began to rapidly grow!
