Alex took a moment to reflect upon the changes his body had gone through now that he had becan Immortal.
The very first thing he checked was his soul, which since entering the peak of the Saint Transformation realm had beclarge enough to completely fill his body. However, despite being of that size, the soul and body were still two very different objects.
However, as though two hot metals hammered together by a master blacksmith, Alex's body and soul had becconjoined to the point where one supported the other.
His body and soul were in harmony now.
Alex checked his Soul Space next, and he was surprised to see that he could finally tell the size. Until he entered the Immortal realm, he could only guess his Soul Space's size, and now he could tell it easily.
His mind went blank trying to cup with the number to describe the size of his Soul Space.
Senior Yang had once told him that his Soul Space had been the size of the Central Continent, perhaps slightly bigger than that. He had been right on that account. It was bigger than the Central Continent.
Only, he had gotten wrong the magnitude of how much bigger his Soul Space was.
It wasn't just the size of the Central Continent. It was nearly the size of the entire 3rd Major Spirit Realm. That was a massive space, and Alex was shocked, but there was something else that shocked him even more.
That massive space was only two-thirds of the entire size. To get his full Soul Space, Alex had to completely devour the one-third remaining silver mountain that still hung atop his Spiritual sea.
That was a fact that Alex instinctively knew now.
Alex wanted to move on to other matters, but those seemed so trivial now. His Spiritual strength had improved, and his Blood Aura was much stronger now that it was no longer suppressed, and his cultivation base had a major improvement.
However, Alex couldn't find it in himself to care about these matters.
Alex was spooked when he saw the White Tiger appear in front of him suddenly.

The tiger patted him on his shoulders with his large paws.
"Brother!"
Both Whisker and Pearl jumped onto him in celebration. Alex fell into the water that had seeped into the grounds around him.
He finally smiled and took those two in a hug.
Just as the two let go of him, Scarlet hugged him next. "Yes! You're finally an Immortal, and one much more powerful than me. I knew you would get here soon."
Alex smiled. "Thanks, Scarlet."
The others followed and congratulated Alex. His master, his senior sister, his clone, the elders from the Southern Continent, and all the others who had cto see his ascension congratulated him.
Alex spoke to every one of them happily, taking in all of their well wishes.
"So..." Bai Jingshen said. "You're going to leave now?"
The tiger's words brought on a lull in the celebration all of a sudden as people realized that Alex would be leaving for the Immortal realm now.
"No," Alex said. "I have one... no, two more matters remaining."
Bai Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
"Pearl, Whisker, stay here and say your goodbyes," Alex said. "I have something I need to do."
He turned toward clone Alex and Emily. "You two, don't go anywhere. I'll be back right away."
Then, without telling anywhere what he planned on doing, Alex flew away.
People watched him leave, flying southeast, more south than east. Bai Jingshen looked toward Pearl and the others.
"Where is he going?" he asked. "I thought you had no matters left to complete."
"I don't know," Pearl said. "We went to all the continents and said goodbye to everyone we needed to. I don't see what he is going to do in the south."
"Is he going to meet the Emperor by any chance? I hear he was close with him at one point," Scarlet said.
"No, he…" Pearl sensed the direction and frowned. "Wait… isn't that the direction of…"
Alex arrived on the small island to the south of the Luminance Empire. The island with a small stone monolith at the center with runes carved all over it.At the top of it was a text written in plain text.
Demon Realm.
Alex had finally returned to the Demon Realm after all this time. Since his return the previous twhen he got his revenge on the Fu Ancestor he had trapped within the Timeless Palace, he had not returned to this place.
After nearly a century after that, Alex returned to this place.
Alex took out the medallion that gave him ownership of the secret realm, of all the various formations that run within the secret realm.
He activated the medallion and stopped all but a few key formations still running within the secret realm. One of the things that had stopped was the monolith's ability to teleport people inside.
There was no need for such an ability for Alex at this point.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex put away the medallion and looked at the monolith, taking in the simple script that ran it. He shook his head and then simply looked at the monolith.
With a simple Intent on his end, the monolith collapsed into pieces of rocks. One of such rocks held within it the secret realm itself.
Alex could sense the rock, so he picked it up and took it into his hand.
This was the moment he had been waiting for a long time, without ever knowing if he could succeed with this idea of his or not. Because he needed to becsuccessful, Alex had waited until he was an Immortal to do this.
It was now or never.
Alex took a deep breath and then crushed the piece of rock in his hand.
The spatial pocket that was tied to the rock was now free of it, no longer bonded to it, and free to settle anywhere on the island as it wanted to.
If Alex left it as it was, it would settle right in front of him, becoming stable within seconds.
Alex couldn't let it.
He reached out with his hand and employed his Dao of Space. With how powerful his Intent was at this point, the space around him shuddered, quickly coming to his command.
Alex could feel heaven's anger above him. It wanted him to leave already.
Not yet. Alex just had this one thing left to do.
Alex touched onto the spatial pocket in front of him and gave it a simple command with his Intent.
MOVE
The command made the spatial pocket move, and it moved toward Alex's chest. As it got closer and closer to Alex's chest, Alex did what no one else would ever think to do.
He opened up his Soul Space and devoured the Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm entered Alex's Soul Space without any problems, settling inside in its true size, a space of nearly 30 kilometers in diameter.
The Demon realm was now truly his, waiting for him to make his next moves.
