The Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast's beady eyes immediately lit up when it saw the Violet Cloud Peach. It was filled with joy and excitement. It produced a joyful neigh and immediately flew over to Jianchen.
It used its two front legs to carefully take the Violet Cloud Peach, which was no smaller than its body, from Jian Chen's hand.
The Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast did not eat the peach immediately. It smelled the faint fragrance of the peach first and became intoxicated. Its body began to swell at a visible rate, going from the size of a fist to a meter-long Soaring Ant in the blink of an eye.
Although it was a Soaring Ant, the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast was very different from regular Soaring Ants. It seemed like an ant, but at a closer glance, it possessed many minute features that were not something a Soaring Ant could possess. At the same time, red, orange, and yellow light flickered on its body.
The Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast opened its mouth and sucked in the Violet Cloud Peach. Afterward, it shrank back to the size of a fist. It glanced at Jianchen secretly with its beady eyes before lying down near Jianchen. It closed its eyes and began to absorb the energy from the peach.
A day later, the four brothers all broke through to Holy Emperor. They gave off a tremendous pressure that enveloped the entire mountain range, but the four brothers still did not wake up. They had yet to completely absorb the energy from the peach, so they continued to cultivate. They could basically feel their strength increasing with every passing second.
However, there were no nine-colored clouds in the sky when the four brothers reached Holy Emperor, so their breakthroughs seemed extremely peaceful. It was different from everyone else.
Jianchen was not surprised by this. Everything was within his expectations. Afterward, he looked at Caia. Caia had reached Great Perfection of Holy Emperor and was about to break through to Holy Emperor.
Two hours later, Caia successfully broke through to Holy Emperor as well. However, the moment she broke through, Jianchen's eyes narrowed. He raised his head and saw that the blue sky was quickly enveloped by nine-colored clouds that enveloped the entire Tian Yuan Continent.
The nine-colored clouds enveloped the entire Tian Yuan Continent. At this moment, the nine-colored clouds could be seen anywhere on the Tian Yuan Continent. The appearance of the nine-colored clouds would have been enough to shake up the entire continent in the past. All the peak experts of the continent would have come to take a look as soon as possible, but now, no one came to check on who had broken through to Holy Emperor.
This was because whether it was the Tian Yuan Continent, the Beast God Continent, the sea realm, or the Wasteland Continent of the Hundred Races, they had all received Jianchen's kindness. They did not lack Holy Emperor experts. Every single race possessed several dozen Holy Emperors at the very least.
Whether it was Caia or the four brothers, they did the same as Jianchen. They did not waste any of the energy from the immortal peaches. They had completely absorbed the energy from the immortal peaches, so they had only used a tenth of the energy to break through to Holy Emperor.
According to Jianchen's estimations, it would take the five of them at least a few days to completely absorb the energy from the immortal peaches. However, to Jianchen's surprise, Caia woke up on the second day after breaking through to Holy Emperor. She had completely absorbed the energy from the immortal peaches without wasting any of it.
However, what perplexed Jianchen was that Caia's strength had remained at the First Heavenly Layer of Holy Emperor. It was as if her strength had not increased at all after breaking through to Holy Emperor. On the other hand, the four brothers had all reached the Third Heavenly Layer of Holy Emperor. Dense energy from the immortal peaches still permeated their bodies.
Caia opened her eyes. They were also filled with doubt. She murmured, "Strange. After breaking through, the remaining ninety percent of the energy in my body all surged into my soul. I don't know where it went."
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes when he heard that. He stared at Caia deeply before sinking into his thoughts.
Caia was also perplexed as to why such a strange thing had happened to her.
She stood up and made her way to Jianchen's side. She said gratefully, "Jianchen, Caia is unable to repay your kindness. Caia will remember it forever. If Caia has the ability in the future, she will definitely repay you a thousand times over."
Jianchen frowned when he heard that. He glanced at Caia and said with displeasure, "Caia, I, Jianchen, treat you as a friend. Are you treating me like a stranger by saying that?"
Caia smiled apologetically and said sternly, "Warrior Jianchen, you are Caia's best friend." Caia's heart was filled with sorrow as she said that, as well as some loneliness. Ever since the Kalor tribe had been destroyed, she no longer had any relatives in the world. She did not even have any friends because she had very few friends back in the Kalor tribe. Now, Jianchen had become her only friend in the world.
Jianchen could clearly sense Caia's faint sorrow. He sighed inside and said, "Caia, why don't you stay in Flame City in the future?"
Caia hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement to Jianchen's suggestion in the end. She said, "Warrior Jianchen, I don't feel comfortable staying with the four of them. I'll be returning to Flame City first."
Jianchen nodded. He did not plan on returning to Flame City right now. He wanted to watch over the four brothers in case anything happened.
Caia left with the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast that was curled up on the ground, absorbing the energy from the immortal peaches. He returned to Flame City alone.
Jianchen continued to watch over the four brothers for several days. Finally, the four of them woke up. They had completely absorbed the energy from the immortal peaches, allowing them to reach the peak of the Holy Emperor level and reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer. They had become the strongest experts below the Origin realm aside from Yang Lie, Feng Xiaotian, and Guihai Yidao.
"With our current strength, even if we can't kill Origin realm experts in a sword formation, trapping them is not difficult," A 'Da murmured. A 'Da murmured. The four of them were filled with joy from the great increase in their strength. It also gave them great confidence.
Now, their strength was enough for them to take part in the war against the World of Forsaken Saints.
Jianchen congratulated the four brothers first before continuing, "Caia is my friend. A 'Da, A' Er, A 'San, A' Si, I hope you don't become enemies with Caia."
