"Master, I feel like I'm about to break through!"

Duan Ru was stupefied. If the Fire Devil King were to break through, it would be at the Mastery Stage. Whether or not his Soul Binding would still work was a question.

Even though Duan Jing Tian was able to control the tribulation period like Medusa, because the way he was enslaved was different, Duan Jing Tian felt that it was a little troublesome. He immediately called the Fire Demon King over to his side and used his spiritual force to concentrate on the soul consciousness of the Fire Demon King. Duan Jidao heaved a sigh of relief.

"Flaming Demon King, you should enter the diagram to break through to the next layer. Don't go outside!" Duan Ru Yue wanted to prevent any accidents. If the Flaming Demon King was able to break free from its restraints, then he would be the sky in the Skysplit Terra, and he could similarly kill the Flaming Demon King.

As Duan Ling Tian was the soul slave of Huo Demon King, it was natural for him to obey Duan Ru's orders and enter the Heavenly Refining Diagram. Duan Meng took out the Heavenly Dragon Grass, Ten Thousand Year Freezing Wood, Energy Crystals, and Heavenly Crystals from the Heavenly Refining Diagram and allowed them all to be used by the Fire Demon King. As long as they were beneficial to his breakthrough, he could use them as he wished.

It was because of the endless treasures within the Skysoul Institute that the Demon King of Fire had made such a breakthrough. Otherwise, where else would one be able to find so many treasures in the outside world? This was because breaking through required a large amount of energy and was not something an ordinary person could afford. This was why Duan Ren was able to obtain such a large amount of wealth.

Everything was ready. The Infernal King began to devour a large number of treasures before making his breakthrough. With a "hong", the Infernal King's figure suddenly expanded, becoming a gigantic Devil King. It continued to grow, as if it was about to break apart. Indeed, with a "peng" sound, the Infernal King's body exploded and vanished into nothingness.

After a burst of smoke, a person stood out from the smoke. He looked very strong, just like an overlord who had opened his mountain. Although he did not have a weird dragon beard or hair, like a normal person, he still had a display of strength.

"Flaming Demon King, you've succeeded in breaking through?"

"Yes, master. I feel that I have more power than ever before. My power is many times stronger than before, and my soul force is also incomparably strong."

Duan Ru Yue sensed the situation and felt that his connection with the Fire Demon King had become even closer. Duan Ru knew that his spiritual force had played a huge role. If it were just soul force alone, it would be very difficult to control. Duan Ru Yue thought that after he returned to Fire Cloud City, he would definitely exercise mental control over Medusa. Otherwise, once out of control, it would be a disaster.

Only now did Duan Ru knew that with the support of his spiritual force, the method of enslaving slaves was even more solid. He couldn't help but feel proud, not expecting the Sky Sect to give him such a precious gift. Duan Ru sometimes wondered if the Sky Sect was his lucky star.

"Young master, congratulations on breaking through to the position of a servant. This time, you have even more protection. If only the Pill Sect had such protection …" Duan Jian was stunned.

He already had his second doppelganger, the Golden Horned Devouring Beast. Naturally, he did not need to protect it. What he needed to protect were Little Phoenix Fairy and a few others. They already had Medusa. However, the Pill Sect did not have a person with great power to guard them.

In the past, it was Old Man Gu Yun. But now, Old Man Gu Yun's cultivation was about the same as his, so he was unable to protect the Pill Sect. Not only was Duan Ru Yue slightly worried, he was also worried as well.

That's right, he should leave the Fire King in the Pill Sect. His cultivation base was at the Large Success stage, and he was only a step away from transcending tribulation. There was more than enough time for him to protect the Pill Sect.

"Brother Bu, if you're worried, I'll give the Fire Demon King to you and let him protect the Pill Sect. Right now, he has the power of a Mastery Stage. It's absolutely safe to protect the Pill Sect."

Bu Baoyuan thought that he had misheard. After a moment of shock, he finally understood.

"Thank you, young master. I'll have to curry favor with you. If the Pill Sect has a Fire Demon King, then it will be as solid as gold."

Brother Bu, I think it's better to keep this a secret. As the secret card of the Pill Sect, the Fire Demon King is the best. I have already given the Fire Demon King a mental boost, so he won't rebel.

Bu Baoyuan was also in favor when he heard this. He felt that this was for the best. He would have absolutely no problem in managing the Pill Sect if he had such an assistant.

Bu Baoyuan had already made up his mind long ago. He would have the Fire Demon King act as his personal servant and not reveal his strength during normal times. He would arrive at the last minute at the most crucial moment. This was called 'Little Faint in the River, Big Faint in the World'.

Bu Baoyuan's intentions were somewhat contradictory to Duan Yi's, but since Bu Baoyuan was doing this, Duan Yi couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.

The Evil Fire King had become the trump card of the Pill Sect, while for the safety of the sect, he would ride his crane to patrol the entire Qilan Mountains every few days.

"Sect Leader, we found a secret cave. There seems to be a heavenly bird or land beast inside!"

As the Infernal King reported the situation to Bu Baoyuan, he was stunned for a moment.

The Celestial Birds and Earth Beasts of the Pill Sect were either patrolling the skies or guarding the ground. They weren't in the cave. What was going on?

Bu Baoyuan immediately brought the Infernal King to check and found the problem. These land beasts were somewhat dazed, as if they had lost all their abilities. It was extremely strange.

Bu Baoyuan didn't know how to use the magic, so he hurriedly reported to Duan Ru Yue. When Duan Meng arrived at the cave, he discovered that there was a problem. These Sky Birds and Earth Beasts had all lost their instincts under the control of magic.

Duan Meng examined the numbers, and there were over 300 thousand of them, about the same as the number of the missing Sky Birds and Earth Beasts.

Doubt arose in Duan Ling Tian's heart, and he hid himself with Bu Baoyuan. As soon as they saw who was hiding within the ravine of Mount Qilan, they discovered a group of people.

There were a total of 30 people, and all of them had incredibly high cultivation bases. They were all at the Nascent Soul stage.

Duan Jidao was greatly alarmed. He did not bring Medusa here with him, but only the Fire Demon King. If he could defeat these people, he could carry out soul attacks one by one without a problem.

However, it was impossible for thirty people to come at once.

"Demon King Fire, can you stop these 30 people at once?"

"It might not work if we kill him, but if we stop him, it won't be a problem!"

Duan Meng had a good count of this. When all thirty of them had entered the cave, the Blazing Demon King had appeared.

The 30 players were greatly alarmed. They hastily joined forces to attack the Infernal King. However, their level was far too low. The 30 of them were no match for the Infernal King. They were trapped in the cave by the Infernal King.

At this moment, Duan Meng had displayed his skills, launching soul attacks one by one. In less than an hour, all 30 Nascent Soul cultivators had become the soul slaves of Duan Meng.

"Tell me, who are you people?"

"Master, we are from the Earth Sect. We have come under the orders of our superiors to tame the Heavenly Birds and Earthly Beasts. Once we have finished taming them, we will destroy the entire sect!"

Duan Meng felt a burst of cold sweat trickle down his back. If he had hesitated any longer, the Celestial Birds and Earth Beasts of the Pill Sect would have been completely subdued. When that time came, the Pill Sect would not have any natural barrier and would be able to retreat.

Duan Meng quickly cast a spell and brainwashed the 300 thousand land beasts. Instantly, they returned to their original states as they let out joyful sounds. It was as if he had seen his master when he saw Duan Meng, and he was ecstatic.

Duan Meng once again enslaved these Sky Birds and Earth Beasts and poured a large amount of soul force into them. The soul force of these Sky Birds and Earth Beasts instantly reached the fusion stage.

The 300 thousand heavenly birds and land beasts let out waves of howls, resounding throughout the valley. The cultivators with power at the Nascent Soul Stage of the 30 Earth Sects were also handed over to Bu Baoyuan, becoming the guards of the Pill Sect.
