    "..." "..."


    After hearing the ancient and archaic voice of the man who lorded over Fallen Immortal Mountain, both of the Early-Diamond Rank Nobles from the Royal Capital of Azura walked through the entrance of the cave abode. Upon entering, they saw a number of divinely beautiful women on their way to where the strongest presence originated from.


    "Are those the Viscounts who…-?"


    "Yes, they are. Now get back to cultivating, my dear disciple, or this master of yours will get further ahead of you," Bing Nu Shen responded with a slight smile on her gorgeous face.


    "Ahh! You really think that you''re going to win that bet before I do, master!? You must have too many of your brain cells put into those big balloons if you think you canprehend the Starry Law of crity before I do!"


    You Mei started cultivating harder than ever following the response she made to her master. She circted massive amounts of the Qi that was flowing in from outside the Astral ne.


    "Ho? You''re a tenacious one, but that is not nearly enough for you to get one over on your master."


    Bing Nu Shen wore an amused look on her face as she continued to put all her focus intoprehending the trace slivers of the Law of crity that were imbued into the outside world''s Starry Qi.


    -


    Meanwhile, as master and disciple were having a littlepetition in one of the side rooms of the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode, Azmodeus was weed with the sight of two old men with slightly wrinkled skin. They wore dark ck and green robes with gold outlines adorning the intricately woven embroidery of their clothes.


    "..."


    Azmodeus slightly opened one of his eyes, as his piercing gaze could be felt within the very souls of the two on-looking nobles.


    And contrary to how two Diamond Rank Physical Existence Master''s would act upon being the target of such a menacing stare, both of them immediately fell to their knees!


    *Thud!* *Thud!*


    "Master! We have managed to get your Baron-Rank honorary titled clone an invitation to the most prestigious noble gathering at the Divine Duke Household of Doxing in the Royal Capital!"


    Azmodeus flipped his apathetic gaze across the two old men bowing before him in reverence. He said, "Is that so…"


    After which, he pulled out a couple of unknown metallic objects from his storage ring and threw them in the direction of the pair of Viscounts.


    "This is your reward for getting this done on my behalf. Make sure to use them to increase the defenses of your respective territories."


    *Piang!*


    "!!!" "!!!"


    Both of the nobles caught the metallic objects in the shape of octagons with mysterious symbols on the sides of them. Upon realizing what they were, their expressions instantly turned to ones of jubnce.


    "Thank you very much for the Moonlit Path Rank Formation Rune Array''s, Master! We will make sure they don''t go to waste!"


    The Viscounts eximed in unison before bowing once more and heading back out the way they came in.


    After which, Azmodeus was left in his private cultivation chambers, ncing over the plethora of system notifications bombarding his vision. After which, he took a look at the system interface that had continually evolved after such long periods of time.


    BLING!

    —------------


    After looking over his system interface for a few moments, Azmodeus obtained a better understanding of just where the system quantified his immense progress.


    And to say the least, he was baffled by the degree to which the Infinite Evolution System took his stats…


    To have them in the Quindecillion''s… Just how many zeros are within such arge number…?


    He already knew the answer to his question, as there were 48 zeros following the unit at the front. But that didn''t stop him from being surprised by the mind-boggling changes that his stats had gone through over thest century.


    Gaining more strength was what he wanted more than anything else, so he wasn''t one toin. Furthermore, if his predictions were urate, he should be able to surpass the Astral Principality Princes within the next few hundred years!


    He might even be capable of outpacing the eventual approach of the powerful masters on Chi Wu''s tail!


    But regardless of his stats, there was something that caught his attention at an even deeper level.


    That something being the fact that he was able to breakthrough into the Lunar Ascendancy Realm at any moment in any time!


    Of course, he had the option to breakthrough many times over thest half century. But he waited such a long period of time so that the absolute best foundation could be obtained while he was still in the first section of Mortal Realms…


    However, the time was nigh!


    The time for a breakthrough!
