    1500 yearster.


    A few years ago, Azmodeus sessfully broke through into the Half-Step Moonlit Path Realm, and with this breakthrough came the illusory silhouette of a moon above his Dantian Space.


    Furthermore, it wasn''t only his cultivation base that made tremendous progress, as the rest of his Professions made it into the Middle Star Radiance Rank!


    On the other hand, his Physical Existence Rank advanced into the Half-Step Starshire Rank, which was what the final and most powerful Physical Existence Rank was designated as!


    It was also the rank that the Goddess of Light and the God of Darkness were in, meaning that if he managed to achieve the same rank, he would be on the same level as those who ruled over the Astral ne…


    Nevertheless, that was a time for a not-so-distant him, as there were many other things to discuss about what had changed in thest 3 thousand years.


    One example of said changes was the vast improvements made in Jue Mei''s cultivation base.


    She had not only rocketed straight up to the Late Meteor Shower Realm, but she also managed to go through the 3rd phase of her Reckoning!


    With the 3rd phase of her Reckoning going through without a hitch, along with a slight change in her fur color, there was also a substantial improvement made to her cultivation talent and Battle Power!


    On the subject of her talent, it had most definitely surpassed the standard for a Star Radiance Expert, and had likely exceeded even the realm beyond the Star Radiance Realm.


    However, no matter what level of talent she obtained, it would never be able to stack up to the pill gobbling, exp grinding loot goblin that was Azmodeus…


    After so many thousands of years of silently watching each other advance and strive within their respective fields, Jue Mei came to realize the reality of her situation.


    That reality being that she would never be able to surpass the Crimson Emperor in terms of cultivation speed…


    Though she hated to admit that fact, it was simply foolhardy to continue believing that she would one day be able to ovee the monstrosity that she originally mistook as an immortal when they first met…


    But regardless of the reality of the situation hitting her in the face, that didn''t mean she would be going any easier in her cultivation. In fact, she started to cultivate harder than ever before, igniting a spark that she thought she had lost long ago!


    With such fervor and determination, she improved by leaps and bounds in her cultivation with each passing day, far exceeding what the past unmotivated her was able to aplish!


    Even though she highly doubted she would ever catch up to Azmodeus, there was also a part of her that believed she stood a chance. And it was that slim part of her that told her to keep pushing forward, using every ounce of her talent and effort in order to ovee the odds!


    Cultivation was inherently an art that one practiced so as to defy their fate, and if one feared away from defying what was ''certain'', could they truly be called a cultivator!?


    After countless eons, and having lived through so many years that no definite number could hope to calcte her age, she finally found something to push her forward.


    And that something just so happened to be what was pushing Yang Hua, Nao Long, and the rest forward as well…


    After all, there was no better thing to strive for than something that was out of reach. And what was further out of reach than Azmodeus?


    The answer was subjective, but in this particr scenario, he was the epitome of perfection—the epitome for which all looked up to and aimed to be like.


    However, in the case of Chi Wu, Bing Nu Shen, You Mei, Li Na, and the other girls, they didn''t want to ''be'' Azmodeus; they wanted to ''be with him'' in every sense of the word.


    It was this very goal that caused the girls to push themselves to their absolute limits, permitting no amount ofziness when it came to cultivation.


    It was because of such drive and determination that the women of the Crimson Dimension managed to advance into the Early Meteor Shower Realm!


    In fact, Yang Hua and the other girls were only a few steps behind Pan Nu and Rou Tian, as the gap between them was slowly but surely closing.


    Of course, these massive advancements did note overnight, as they put their all into cultivation for thousands of years, even reducing the amount of time they cuddled (bothered) Azmodeus.


    The results of those ''sacrifices'' and efforts definitely showed, but there was something even more monumental than the fact that all the girls made great advancements in their cultivation.


    And that was the sheer amount of Tier 3 Squares that had been conquered and annexed over the years, because the number was staggering…


    With just Tier 3 Squares alone, the number had already surpassed the thousands, and it was growing more and more with each passing day.


    However, when it came to Tier 2 Squares, the number exceeded the trillions, reaching a level of conquest previously thought to be impossible!


    On the other hand, the far weaker Tier 1 Double Leafed Squares were annexed at an utterly unbelievable rate, outperforming any past notions of how fast one could conquer the numerous Squares of the Astral ne.


    But regardless of the advancements made by the Heaven Exploding Sect, Azmodeus continued to ceaselessly cultivate inside his cave while his Primordial Essence Clones and Mirror Mirages handled everything in the outside world.


    …


    2000 yearster.


    By this point in time, the Heaven Exploding Sect started to encroach upon the direct territory of the God of Darkness and Goddess of Light.


    The Crimson Emperor and his various clones made quick work of anyone who stood in their way, even rendering Peak Amethyst Rank Experts as nothing more than loot bags or future ves.


    With the perpetual progress made by Azmodeus during his infinite grinding session, his Early Moonlit Path Realm cultivation base did wonders when it came to overwhelming any number of Tier 3 Squares.


    If not for the fact that such high-level Squares were bing scarce, then it was highly likely that billions of them would''ve already been conquered and annexed.


    However, from the ones he did manage to overtake, thousands of Peak Amethyst Rank Warriors joined his side, while thousands more resisted and met their just ends.


    With such a massively expanding force at the Crimson Emperor''s beck and call, it wouldn''t be an understatement to state that inside the Astral ne, no one below the two gods was his match!


    With his Battle Power at the true peak of the Half-Step Star Radiance Realm, his individual Battle Power also went unrivaled.


    Ever since killing the corrupted Emperor of the Sunsmite Empire, no decent challenge hade his way…


    Of course, there were a few who managed to kill him. But of that minority, he ultimately came out on top after a few thousand deaths, needing nowhere near the amount of time he once needed to ovee a stronger foe.


    Nevertheless, today was quite the special day for those in the Heaven Exploding Sect, as the Supreme Elder—the one who ruled over the Sect from the shadows—was finallying out of seclusion.


    He nned to give a Dao speech to all those who were among the Core Disciples and Elders...
