Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 87 Demon God's Ambush, Breakthrough to the Eighth Rank!
Just as Li Hao was leading the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team into a frenzy of leveling up inside the Eternal Tower.

Outside, at the headquarters of the Temple Alliance, undercurrents were already swirling.

Inside the Warrior's Temple, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.

"No news yet?"

Qiu Yonghao sat upright in the main seat, his face gloomy, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest.

His sharp, sword-like eyes were filled with lingering worry.

More than a month has passed since Li Hao's demon-hunting team lost contact.

If it weren't for the crystal representing their lives still shining brightly, proving that they were still alive...

Given Qiu Yonghao's personality, he probably would have already stormed into the demon territory alone with his sword.

Below, an elder in charge of intelligence shook his head and said bitterly.

Still nothing. They've vanished into thin air.

"Nonsense! What a nonsense!"

Qiu Yonghao slammed his hand on the armrest, and an invisible sword aura burst forth, slicing off a corner of the hard obsidian armrest.

He suddenly stood up, his aura becoming incredibly sharp.

"Can't wait any longer!"

"Lord, calm down! That's the heart of the Demon Realm!"

The deputy hall master, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.

“We all believe in Li Hao. He has always been blessed with good fortune and is exceptionally intelligent. He would never perish so easily. Perhaps they were just cultivating in some secluded place and that's caused them to lose time.”

"Yes, Lord, let's give them a little more time! They are the future hope of our human race, true geniuses!"

Qiu Yonghao's chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and worry.

He knew, of course, how extraordinary his apprentice was, but concern clouded his judgment.

That was, after all, the heartland of the demon realm, fraught with danger; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

"it is good!"

Qiu Yonghao's voice, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, echoed throughout the entire hall.

"I'll give them another two weeks!"

He surveyed the crowd, unleashing the full power of a ninth-tier, second-level light-element sword god, causing all the powerful figures present to feel a chill run down their spines.

"Half a month! If they still haven't sent back any news after half a month..."

"Then I, Qiu Yonghao, will personally make the trip. Even if I have to turn the demon territory upside down, I will bring back my disciples and all the geniuses of our human race safely!"

……

Time flies, and sixty years pass in the tower.

Li Hao and the members of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team were completely unaware of the turmoil happening outside.

They were completely immersed in the exhilarating process of training and becoming stronger.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

With the almost cheat-like boost from the Tower of Eternity, everyone's strength underwent a dramatic transformation.

Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Chen Ying'er and others, after accumulating a massive amount of spiritual power and honing their skills in countless battles, broke through their bottlenecks and steadily entered the ranks of sixth-tier powerhouses!

Li Hao, as the core of the team, has made remarkable progress.

His spiritual power had already broken through the 30,000 mark and reached the peak of the seventh rank!
He is now only one breakthrough opportunity away from reaching the eighth rank.

During this month, besides frantically grinding monsters, accumulating spiritual power, and acquiring skills inside the tower...

They would also occasionally leave the Tower of Eternity to hunt the demons that were attracted to the caves.

Fight, train, fight again, train again...

This simple and pure cycle allows everyone's combat experience and practical skills to improve by leaps and bounds.

However, in their joy at their rapidly expanding strength, they overlooked a crucial, and most fatal, point.

This place is ultimately the territory of the demons.

They not only lingered there for a long time, but also wiped out eight or nine out of ten of the elite demons who came to support the Howling Cave.

With such a huge commotion, how could it really go unnoticed?
On this day, when everyone was leaving another exhilarating battle, Li Hao called a halt to their activity.

"Everyone, we've been here long enough."

Looking at his revitalized teammates, Li Hao said in a deep voice, "This time the gains have been enormous. But you can't get fat overnight. We need time to fully digest this strength and make it our own foundation."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

They all understood that it was time to leave.

"Captain, this Tower of Eternity..."

Sima Xian looked at Li Hao with an extremely solemn expression.

"Don't worry, we all understand the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime."

Wang Yuanyuan replied, her eyes resolute.

"We will keep this matter a secret and will not reveal a single word to anyone!"

The others also took oaths, a tacit understanding among them.

Li Hao nodded with relief, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

He wasn't actually too worried about the secrets of the Aion.

This artifact, crafted by the Necromancer Saint Ilex, possesses the ability to traverse dimensions, and only he, as her successor, can activate it.

Normally, the main body of the tower is hidden in another dimension, and there is no trace of it.

Even when faced with overwhelming danger, he can instantly lead everyone into the tower, making it the perfect trump card for survival.

The agreement was reached, and everyone no longer hesitated.

When the night was deep and quiet, and the moon was high and the wind was strong, the group concealed their aura and, like ghosts, silently sneaked out of the Howling Cave.

They thought they were being discreet and that no one would suspect them.

However, just as they stepped out of the cave and were about to disappear into the night,

A seductive female voice, brimming with endless allure and seemingly capable of stealing one's soul, softly rang in their ears.

"Oh, the little bugs that have been hiding for so long have finally decided to crawl out on their own."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a demonic voice from the depths of hell, causing every member of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team to feel their heart clench and their hair stand on end!

Everyone looked up in horror.

Under the cover of night, two figures were already standing there.

The person on the right is a demon god whose handsome and alluring appearance is so striking that it's almost otherworldly, making it difficult to discern his gender.

He wore a magnificent peacock feather robe, his expression arrogant, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.

His eyes were as deep as the starry sky; one glance was enough to captivate the soul, as if one were about to be drawn into them.

The man on the left was tall and imposing, clad in heavy black armor, which perfectly showcased his awe-inspiring presence.

Around him, wisps of black flame, like living venomous snakes, slowly rose, sizzling and corroding the surrounding air.

Upon seeing these two figures, Li Hao's pupils instantly contracted to the most dangerous pinpoints!

In an instant, all the Alliance's records about the Demon God flashed through his mind!
"The sixty-fourth pillar, the Darkfire Demon God, Florence!"

"The sixty-fifth pillar, the Peacock Demon God, Andrei!"

Both of them are genuine eighth-tier peak demon gods!
One is a terrifying black flame that excels at corroding everything, while the other is proficient in illusions and seduction that can manipulate people's hearts!
Behind the two demon gods, in the darkness, pairs of scarlet eyes lit up one after another.

Those were several well-organized demon squads, including powerful demons of the sixth, seventh, and even eighth ranks!
They have been surrounded!
An unprecedented sense of crisis, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed everyone.

This was a trap that had been meticulously set up for a long time!
It was at this critical moment, a time of life and death, with immense pressure.

Li Hao took a deep breath, expelling all his fear and distracting thoughts.

He slowly, step by step, walked out of the group, standing tall and proud.

Alone, he faced the two peak eighth-tier demon gods who exuded overwhelming demonic power.

His eyes showed no fear whatsoever, only an endless fighting spirit burning fiercely!

"When the enemy is in my presence, they either flee in terror or suffer a crushing defeat!"

At this moment, the belief in my heart transformed into the most violent fuel!
boom--!
A powerful and vast aura suddenly erupted from Li Hao's body!

The surging spiritual power within him, like a flood breaking through a dam, crashed irresistibly into the cultivation barrier that had long restricted him!

Click!

A crisp, shattering sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul, rang out.

That seemingly insurmountable bottleneck was instantly broken!

Li Hao's aura surged wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the blink of an eye, they crossed that insurmountable chasm!
His aura revealed him to be at the eighth rank!
