As the energy of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele entered Huang Xiaolong’s body, a series of intense black light burst out from within him, with blinding blood-red light emerging amidst the black.

This was the light from the Blood Eye Demon Tablet within Huang Xiaolong’s body.

Lu Xiaoqing and others were stunned.

Huang Xiaolong withdrew his palm, the black light within him gathering inward.

"Alright, you should head to the mountain base and wait for me now," Huang Xiaolong said to Gao Changran, Wang Fanning, and others.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Netherworld King!"

Gao Changran, Lu Xiaoqing, and others replied respectfully, saluted, and then retreated to the mountain base.

The four-headed Four Unlikes also waited at the mountain base.

At the same time, Huang Xiaolong summoned fourteen Light Angels and one hundred Undying Netherworld Guards to safeguard the surroundings, preventing any accidents during the refining of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele.

Once everything was ready, Huang Xiaolong took a deep breath, leaped into the air, and arrived above the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele, then sat cross-legged and began to activate the Blood Eye Demon Tablet within him.

Inside Huang Xiaolong’s body, the Blood Eye Demon Tablet’s two blood eyes opened, shining brightly, as countless dark energy filled with blood light poured down like a waterfall.

The dark energy from the Blood Eye Demon Tablet completely enveloped the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele below.

At the same time, Huang Xiaolong’s Demon Ascension Body was completely activated.

Rays of Demon Ascension Light glittered like starlight, one after another, cascading down.

With the Blood Eye Demon Tablet’s dark energy and the Demon Ascension Light shrouding it, the previously quiet, black Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele suddenly began to shake violently.

Infinite light soared from its tablet body, straight into the Nine Heavens.

The entire space trembled intensely.

Waiting at the mountain base, Gao Changran, Lu Xiaoqing, and others were astonished.

Huang Xiaolong further exerted the Blood Eye Demon Tablet and the Demon Ascension Body.

The Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele’s light blazed, and the spell text on it began to light up one by one.

These spells, like small suns, grew increasingly dazzling.

Waves of dark energy, strikingly similar to the Blood Eye Demon Tablet’s, continuously surged out from within the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele, rushing directly towards the airborne Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong hastily activated the Primordial Parasitic Technique within him, continuously devouring and refining the energy of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele.

Even with the Blood Eye Demon Tablet and the Demon Ascension Body, Huang Xiaolong’s whole body trembled as the energy of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele violently surged into him.

The energy of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele was exceptionally turbulent, even more so than the Blood Eye Demon Tablet.

Could the Six Great Demon Steles and the Nine Great Chaotic Thunder Pools have rankings too?

Huang Xiaolong thought in surprise.

This was not an impossible notion.

Although there were no rumors from the outside world, the energy contained in the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele was obviously more than that of the Blood Eye Demon Tablet, and although the ranks of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele and the Blood Eye Demon Tablet were unknown, the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele surely ranked ahead of the Blood Eye Demon Tablet.

A month passed quickly.

Under the tempering of the energy from the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele, Huang Xiaolong found his Demon Ascension Body growing stronger, and his strength had already approached the Heaven Monarch Ninth Stage Middle Peak.

Affected by the energy of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele, Hell’s Heart pulsated more vigorously, the Netherworld Demon Robe and Demon Gourd shone brightly.

Previously, the Netherworld Demon Robe and Demon Gourd were damaged by Shi Ming’s palm power, and although repaired, they still had issues. But now, not only were the Netherworld Demon Robe and Demon Gourd fully restored, their power surpassed even before.

At this moment, the shadows of the Three Great Demon Gods appeared above Huang Xiaolong’s head, opening their mouths to inhale.

Endless Demon God’s Light kept descending from the void.

The Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele vibrated even more intensely.

Countless dark rays flooded like tsunamis and molten lava, completely engulfing Huang Xiaolong, whose body was no longer visible, surrounded entirely by a sea of dark light.

Another half year passed.

The light of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele illuminated for millions of miles around.

Even at the mountain base, Gao Changran, Wang Fanning, and others were completely bathed in this light.

"Your Majesty, is he going to be fine?" a Black Wolf Clan Ancestor asked worriedly, looking at the intense light on the mountain peak.

Although the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele is a treasure of the Demon Domain that everyone desires, not everyone can successfully refine it, and if the refinement fails, one will suffer a counterattack from the power of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele or might even be cursed by its Ten Thousand Curses Curse.

The Ten Thousand Curses Curse from the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele is incomparably more terrifying than the Blue Soul Curse.

If afflicted by the Ten Thousand Curses Curse from the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele, even an ordinary Emperor Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak would be doomed.

"Probably not," Gao Changran said, "Among the Myriads of Worlds, His Majesty is the most talented, being able to easily climb to the top of the Ninth Level of the Demon Ascension Tower, so refining the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele shouldn’t be a problem."

But even so, Gao Changran wasn’t fully confident inside.

Every situation can have exceptions, and higher talent doesn’t necessarily mean a higher chance of successfully refining the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele.

As everyone awaited expectantly, another year passed.

Seeing another year pass without any response from Huang Xiaolong, everyone became more anxious.

But since Huang Xiaolong had previously ordered everyone to wait at the mountain base, without his command, Gao Changran and others dared not approach.

Then suddenly, a sound like spring thunder came down from the mountain peak.

Following this, the dark light surged tremendously, and a powerful aura flashed by.

"What is this?!" Lu Xiaoqing exclaimed in surprise.

"Did His Majesty break through?!" Gao Changran’s face lit up with joy.

Indeed, Huang Xiaolong had broken through.

In a year and seven months, Huang Xiaolong’s strength had soared, reaching the Late Stage Ninth Rank a year ago, and just now breaking through to the Tenth Rank.

Tenth Heavenly Monarch Stage!

The Tenth Heavenly Monarch Stage may not mean much to some Emperor Experts, but for Huang Xiaolong, it was very important.

After breaking through to the Tenth Heavenly Monarch Stage, the demon light from the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele continued to surge.

Another half year passed, and the demon light from the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele suddenly stopped, the entire stele flew up and merged into Huang Xiaolong’s body.

The entire demon light in the space instantly surged into Huang Xiaolong’s body and dissipated, restoring heaven and earth.

Huang Xiaolong’s figure emerged.

Everyone rejoiced and flew to Huang Xiaolong’s side.

"Congratulations to His Majesty on successfully refining the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele," they all knelt together.

Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, "Please rise."

The successful refinement of the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele made Huang Xiaolong very pleased. Although he ultimately didn’t break through to the Tenth Rank Middle Stage, he was now at the Tenth Order Early Stage Peak, just half a step away from the Middle Stage.

Moreover, with the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele successfully refined, his sensory abilities greatly heightened, making it easier to find the Glazed Glass Demon Stele next.

After, Huang Xiaolong and the others strolled around the space before finally leaving with them.

Just as they exited the space, the spaceship was attacked again by those Ice Monsters.

This time, Huang Xiaolong did not rush to leave Ice Lake but instead let the Light Angels and Four Unlikes subdue these Ice Monsters.

Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong conjured the Primordial Purple Worms, controlling the Ice Monsters one by one.
