Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 132 The Moon's Radiance Remains at the "Eighth Rank".

Three years later.

As the last wisp of attribute-less energy was completely absorbed, the precious gift that Electrolux left for Moonbeam and the others was finally fully integrated into their bodies.

"Oh my god! I really broke through to the ninth rank!"

Lu Xi's voice trembled slightly with shock, and her eyes shone with an unbelievable joy.

Chen Ying'er snorted: "What's the big deal? You were the last one in the team to reach the ninth rank. If you can't even do that, I think you should just apply to leave the team."

“What do you mean the last one? The commander hasn’t even done it yet,” Lu Xi retorted indignantly, but suddenly fell silent halfway through her sentence.

Indeed, after three years of dedicated cultivation, Yuehui remained at the eighth level.

But this result left Moonbeam feeling utterly helpless—the reason being his excessively powerful Eternal Heart.

The original Heart of Eternity could hold an astonishing 100,000 units of inner spiritual power, but after being fused with the power of Austin Griffin's Divine Punishment, this limit was raised to a terrifying 300,000!
According to the evaluation criteria for the ninth rank, one needs to fill all nine spiritual apertures and break through the limit to condense the tenth spiritual aperture in order to truly break through.

However, in the past three years, although Moonlight's spiritual power has accumulated to an astonishing 290,000, it has not been able to fully fill the Heart of Eternity, so it is still considered to be at the eighth level in terms of realm.

"Can the situation be compared to that of the guild leader?" Chen Ying'er said, hands on her hips. "You dare to compare yourself to the guild leader?"

His deep eyes swept over each team member, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Over the past three years, we have fully converted the energy bestowed by the Tower of Eternity into our own strength. It is time to emerge from seclusion and apply for promotion to the title of Demon Hunter Corps." Moonlight's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the hall.

"That's awesome!" Wang Yuanyuan suddenly stood up. "It's been three whole years, and my giant hammer has been itching for a fight!"

Yuehui nodded with a smile: "Yes, everything will come."

His gaze swept over each team member in turn, and a surge of emotion welled up in his heart.

During these three years of secluded training, the Demon Hunter Team's growth far exceeded expectations.

Except for himself, who remains at the eighth rank due to the special nature of the Eternal Heart, the other six have all broken through to the ninth rank.

The most amazing thing is Cai'er. Under Electrolux's special favor, she not only broke through to the ninth rank, but also reached the second level of the ninth rank, and her total inner spiritual power exceeded 200,000.

Long Haochen followed closely behind. Although he was slightly inferior, he still reached an astonishing level of 190,000 internal spiritual power and was steadily advancing towards the second level of the ninth rank.

Surprisingly, Chen Ying'er made rapid progress. With the special advantage of being a beast god's familiar, she caught up and surpassed others, breaking through the 170,000 mark in inner spiritual power.

As for Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, and Lu Xi, although they were not favored by the gods, they still managed to successfully enter the ninth rank thanks to their extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts.

Even more exciting is that the elemental spirits Lei Ji and Yating, as well as Lei Qilin, have all broken through to the ninth rank thanks to the Moonlight and the Tower of Eternity!
"Let's go, we should give the Temple Alliance a little surprise!"

...

As the eternal melody flowed across the mark on Cai'er's forehead, a snowflake-shaped magic circle bloomed with dazzling light beneath everyone's feet.

A dazzling white light flashed, and the vast Tower of Eternity was instantly empty.

When their vision cleared again, the familiar wooden floors, the slightly dusty air, and the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows—they had returned to the demon-hunting villa that had been uninhabited for three years.

"You're back," Cai'er murmured softly, her voice filled with unspoken longing.

Her slender fingers gently traced the dusty coffee table, leaving a clear mark on it.

Moonlight gently wrapped her arms around her slender waist from behind, resting her chin lightly on her shoulder: "Missing our home?"

Cai'er tilted her head slightly, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

After three years of living and working together, she had long been used to Yuehui's affectionate behavior in front of his teammates.

She felt no shyness at that moment, but simply leaned against him in a relaxed manner and nodded gently: "Yes, I missed you."

"Hey, Captain, Cai'er, stop showing off your love now. There are plenty of single guys in the troupe!" Chen Ying'er pouted and said sourly, unconsciously tightening the rag in her hand.

Her gaze drifted to the window, and a tall, upright figure involuntarily appeared in her mind.

(I wonder how that piece of wood is doing now.)

"Pfft-"

Cai'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Yuehui also raised the corners of her mouth.

But instead of letting go, he hugged Cai'er even tighter and turned around naturally while holding her.

"Alright, let's clean our 'home' properly today."

The moonlight surveyed the dust-covered villa, its eyes gleaming with a warm light.
"Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the Alliance Government to announce—"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with a long-lost sense of pride: "Commander-level number sixty-four, no! The future title-level Demon Hunter Squad, has officially returned!"

"Yes, Commander!" everyone shouted in unison.

……

As night deepened, Yuehui gently embraced Cai'er as they lay on the long-missed bed.

Cai'er nestled in his arms, her hair exuding a faint fragrance.

The two fell asleep in each other's arms, sleeping peacefully on a real bed for the first time in three years, their breathing gradually becoming long and steady.

As dawn broke, Moonbeam led the six members of the Demon Hunter team out of the villa and headed to the Holy City Alliance government.

But when they asked the staff, everyone was shocked.

It turns out that shortly after they went into seclusion, the demon race unilaterally announced the start of a holy war.

This life-or-death struggle for the survival of the race has lasted for nearly three years.

The six temples devoted all their forces to the defense of the six passes, leaving only the Holy Knight Commander Han Qian to oversee the overall situation within the Holy City.

"Huh? Haochen? Yuehui? You've finished your seclusion?"

As soon as Paladin Commander Han Qian stepped into the hall of the government, he saw Yuehui and her group, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

The high-ranking officials of the six holy temples all knew about Yuehui and the others' seclusion.

Little did I expect that this seclusion would last for a full three years.

What shocked Han Qian even more was that he couldn't see through the strength of these young people in front of him at all!
As a peak eighth-tier expert, only one step away from the ninth tier, he felt as if he were standing in front of a group of unfathomable beings.

"Paladin, we are here to apply for the title-level Demon Hunter Team assessment." Moonlight bowed slightly, a calm smile on his lips.

"Claimed to be a title-level expert?" Han Qian's eyes widened, and his body visibly trembled.

He suddenly realized a startling possibility, and his voice unconsciously rose eight octaves:
"You guys wouldn't have accomplished this in just three years, would you?"

Han Qian's voice stopped abruptly, and her expression changed drastically.

"Quick, come with me!"

He grabbed Yuehui's wrist and strode toward the office.

Yuehui gestured for her companions to follow, and the group immediately followed.
