I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"My physical strength has reached 2.3 Star Power!"

"With my current strength, killing those three Great Saints of the Ghost Clan under my maximum burst of power shouldn't be too difficult!"

The river fought and retreated simultaneously.

He secretly thought to himself, and screamed repeatedly, but his hands were not slow at all... He didn't even need to slash, because the scorching yang energy he generated when his blood and qi burst out was the greatest weapon against ordinary fish-dragon realm ghost soldiers!
"Ding!"

"You have helped a ghost find peace. Strength +100 Dragon Power!"

"Ding!"

"You have helped a ghost find peace. Strength +100 Dragon Power!"

"Ding……"

A series of system notifications rang out incessantly, and the numbers after the [Strength] section of the system attribute panel kept jumping. Jiang He saw this and was secretly delighted, so he shouted even more excitedly—

"what!"

"My kidneys...who the hell stabbed my kidneys?"

"what!"

"Stop hitting me, I'm about to die!"

puff!
A half-saint was blasted apart by Jiang He with a single slap, and even his Saint Source was refined.

The surrounding Yin soldiers, Ghost Clan Half-Saints, and Ghost Clan Saints were shocked by what they saw and quickly retreated. One Half-Saint shouted, "Everyone be careful... he doesn't seem to have fallen into a weakened state!"

This statement came out.

The number of ghostly soldiers rushing towards the river has decreased significantly.

Jiang He: "..."

Hey!
He shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone! This is my last burst of energy before death... my final counterattack before I die! Whoever kills me will gain the Great Sage's favor and become the greatest hero in rescuing the Ghost Emperor. They will receive the Ghost Emperor's reward and will be able to cultivate into a Ghost Saint or a Great Sage in the future!"

This method of "luring the enemy" is ridiculous!

Perhaps only Jiang He could have come up with such a thing!

However, these ghost soldiers were extremely useful. In an instant, all the ghost soldiers turned red-eyed and rushed towards the river like moths to a flame.

"kill!"

"If I kill him and devour his flesh and blood, I will surely advance to the Half-Saint realm, receive the Ghost Emperor's reward, and perhaps in the future I can even break through to the Saint realm, or even the Great Saint realm!"

"Eat him! Eat him!"

These ghostly soldiers and spirits were formed from the resentment and obsessions on the battlefield. Although they are ghosts, they are different from real ghosts.

They weren't particularly "sharp-witted" to begin with.

At this moment, the greed in his heart was stirred up by Jiang He's few words, and he no longer cared about life and death.

Even some of the weaker-minded demigods were moved to tears!

Only those Ghost Clan Saint Realm beings were unaffected by the river, but at this moment the battlefield had been stretched thousands of miles away by the river, and the three Ghost Clan Great Saints were bombarding the White Horse Temple. These Ghost Clan Saint Realm beings frantically gave orders, but they could not stop those Yin soldiers!

The countless ghostly soldiers attacked like moths to a flame, causing Jiang He's physical strength to surge wildly.

quickly!

The value after the "Strength" column in the system attribute interface has reached "2.5 Star Power".

"Hahahaha!"

Jiang He was overjoyed and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The number of Yin soldiers had been reduced by nearly half. Jiang He knew that if he continued to kill, the three Ghost Clan Great Saints would definitely react. So he stopped hiding and suddenly erupted. A torrent of blood qi shot into the sky, shaking the entire secret realm space and staining the entire secret realm space blood-red!
Wow!

Ignite your Qi and Blood!

The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique was unleashed once again!

At this moment, Jiang He's height had increased to 3000 zhang in the [Law of Heaven and Earth] state. He had three heads and six arms, and his aura was like that of a god or demon descending to earth. The blood flames burning around his body swept out and spread for thousands of miles, turning more than 20,000 fish-dragon realm Yin soldiers into ashes!

The Yin soldiers, who had already been nearly half killed by the river, were wiped out by another half in an instant, leaving only more than 20,000 Yin soldiers who scattered and fled!
A single Yin soldier at the Fish-Dragon Realm can provide Jianghe with the physical foundation of 100 Dragon Forces!

More than 20,000 Yin soldiers provided Jianghe with nearly 2.5 million Dragon Power as the physical foundation... The number after the [Strength] column in the system attribute panel jumped directly to "2.7 Star Power" and began to approach "2.8 Star Power"!
What does 2.8 Star Power mean?
A physical foundation strength of a full 2800 million dragon powers!

In other words, even without using any physical supernatural powers or secret techniques to amplify his abilities, Jiang He can now rival a top-tier half-saint with just his most basic physical strength!
Under extreme burst conditions, Jiang He's explosive power increased by more than 1500 Star Power!
boom!
His aura exploded wildly, and with all six arms swinging, his powerful and scorching blood and qi transformed into sword energy that swept left and right, taking the lives of hundreds more fish-dragon realm Yin soldiers!

next moment.

Jiang He appeared before a half-saint of the ghost race.

This half-saint of the ghost race was of unknown race. He was six zhang tall and had an extremely ferocious appearance!

But compared to a 3000-foot-long body, it is like an ant!
Jiang He gently slapped down with his palm.

The body of the Ghost Clan Half-Saint, formed from Yin Qi, exploded, and the Sacred Source fell into Jiang He's hands.

Jiang He's other hand slashed at a Ghost Clan Saint Realm expert!
This is a mid-stage Saint Realm expert, who would be considered an absolute master anywhere in the myriad worlds... But for Jiang He now, there is no difference between a half-saint and a Saint Realm expert!

They are all ants!

They're just bigger ants at the "Sacred Realm" level!
That powerful Ghost Clan expert at the Saint Realm was directly blown apart. His Saint Source suddenly expanded, and he wanted to self-destruct, but Jiang He shoved it into his mouth with lightning speed!

The river turned its head.

Three heads and six eyes all looked at another powerful ghost clan member at the Saint Realm!
The powerful ghost was terrified and turned to fly towards the three great ghost saints, crying out, "My lord... save me!"

boom!
Jiang He sheathed his sword and threw a punch.

He shattered the Ghost Clan Saint Realm cultivator, seized its Saint Source in his hand, took a step forward, and arrived in front of the three Ghost Clan Great Saints. He played with the ever-expanding Saint Source in his palm and said with a faint smile, "Sorry... I've disappointed you!"

"I've survived the aftereffects of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!"

Boom!

Within his palm, the Sacred Source, which had expanded to a size of tens of feet, exploded with a deafening roar. The terrifying aftershocks of the explosion leaked out from between Jiang He's fingers, striking his chest and body, and ruffling his hair.

Jiang He stretched out an arm and fixed his hair.

Then, looking at the hand that had been blown to pieces, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it... I miscalculated. I thought that a mere mid-stage Saint Realm Saint Source wouldn't be able to do any harm to me, but I didn't expect it to almost blow off my fingers."

The three great demon saints' pupils contracted violently!

The cultivation level of the mid-stage Saint Realm is indeed nothing to them, but if they were to self-destruct their Saint Source, even they would have to give way!
If it were to self-destruct at such close range...

Even if they don't die, they'll be severely injured!
But this human body cultivator only had his hands covered in blood and gore?
Just how strong is his physical body?
And his current aura...

It seems to be more than twice as powerful as before!
He had already gained the upper hand by fighting three opponents alone, and now his combat power had more than doubled...

The three great saints of the ghost clan exchanged glances, communicated with each other, and the next moment... they turned and left!
"Want to go?"

Jiang He sneered, and with his Ruyi Divine Footwork activated, he caught up with a Ghost Clan Great Saint in an instant!
He unleashed a powerful punch with all six arms moving in unison, using the Eightfold Great Sage Fist!

Knowing he couldn't escape, the Great Sage of the Ghost Clan unleashed all the protective holy arts and divine powers he had learned, pushing his cultivation and secret techniques to their limits!
He turned around abruptly, his body surrounded by yin energy like clouds and holy might like an abyss. He roared, "I have roamed the heavens for tens of thousands of years, and even after death I will be a ghost hero. I have cultivated all the way to the realm of a two-star Great Saint... You, a mere body cultivator who has achieved sainthood through physical cultivation, dare to kill this Great Saint?"

"bring it on!"

"I'm not afraid of you!"

The final line, "I'm not afraid of you!" was almost shouted out in a broken voice!

Rumble!
Six eight-fold Great Sage Fists slammed into the holy body of this Ghost Clan Great Sage!

The various defensive holy spells and divine abilities around him crackled and exploded, his holy body split open with a "bang," and the space behind him was pierced by the force of the punch, directly shattering it. Spatial cracks spread through the air like a spider web!

Jiang He reached out and grabbed the sacred source, then threw it into his mouth. The next moment...

His expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated!

puff!

An arm was thrown into the air.

"Ding!"

"You have slain a Great Sage, your Strength increased by 20 Dragon Power!"

"Ding!"

"You have refined a Saint Source, your strength increased by 20 Dragon Power!"

A system notification sounded in his mind. Jiang He glanced at the spreading spatial rift with lingering fear and exclaimed, "Is the destructive power of a spatial rift this strong? My arm was just swept away by the rift and it was cleanly severed?"

Click click click.

Jiang He's severed arm grew back quickly.

The spatial rifts that spread like a spider web before their eyes quickly returned to calm, and the other two Great Saints of the Ghost Clan had vanished without a trace... After all, they were Great Saints, too fast and too many methods; they had probably already escaped into other secret realms by now.

Jiang He turned towards the scattered Yin soldiers, ghost clan half-saints, and ghost clan holy realms.

Without the protection of the three Great Saints of the Ghost Clan, he could easily slaughter these Yin Soldiers. Meanwhile, those Half-Saints and Saints did not have the strength to break through the barrier of the secret realm, so they could only run around aimlessly in this secret realm!

But they ran...

How could they possibly cross the river?

As Jiang He hunted down the Yin soldiers to gain experience, he secretly thought, "The power of the spatial rift is so strong... If I were to encounter a Great Sage who wields the power of space, how could I possibly defeat him?"

"A Great Saint Realm expert can already break through spatial barriers!"

"During the fight, they suddenly shattered the space around me, causing a spatial rift to engulf me. How can I defend myself?"

"I can't even stop a spatial rift; my physical body is still too weak!"

"Ding!"

"You have helped a ghost find peace. Strength +100 Dragon Power!"

"Ding!"

"You have helped a ghost find peace. Strength +1000 Dragon Power!"

"Ding……"

boom!
Just as Jiang He was reaping experience points, a huge impact suddenly came from behind, causing him to stumble. He turned around and saw a Saint Realm Ghost Clan expert self-destructing. He was heartbroken and roared, "You dog-like thing, you were going to die anyway, why didn't you keep it for me to kill?"

There are too many ghost soldiers, demigods, and holy realms.

But this secret realm is too vast.

Jiang He chased them for a full half hour before finally killing them all.

He withdrew his physical supernatural powers, his body returned to normal, he dispelled the [Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique], and the burning blood flames around his body also dissipated completely.

I glanced at the system properties panel.

Name: Jiang He

[Age: 20 years old]

Occupation: Mentally ill patient

[Power: 3 Star Power]

"Just as I expected... these [experiences] have indeed raised my physical strength to the level of 3 stars."

Jiang He clenched his fist, causing the air to burst, and laughed, "Right now, with just my basic physical strength, I am enough to contend with the top-tier half-saints!"

The demigod possesses various sacred arts and supernatural powers.

Even the most elite demigods can unleash an attack with nearly 3000 million dragon power... but their attacks simply cannot break through Jiang He's defenses!
Even if it self-destructs, it won't harm the river in the slightest!
I did some calculations silently.

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Once I've used up all the holy blood, holy liquid, pills, and spiritual items in my body, my basic physical strength should be able to be raised to 3.5 Star Power. With the resources that Wanbaolou will acquire for me later, I should have a chance to break through to 4 Star Power in terms of physical strength."

With strong strength and vital energy, one's physical body will naturally become stronger!

Most importantly, some of the resources that Wanbaolou helped him acquire were specifically used to strengthen his physical body!
"After we leave Ruoshui, we'll go to Tianmen Pass again."

"There should be quite a few treasures left by our martyrs in the Tianmen Pass treasury... I need to find some treasures to strengthen my physical body first. Only when I can traverse space with my physical body and be unafraid of the power of space will I be considered successful."

Rivers flowed and fell outside the White Horse Temple.

Without the attack of those ghostly soldiers, the Buddhist light at Baima Temple grew stronger.

Moreover, within the temple, an aura is rapidly growing stronger!
"This is……"

"Xu Rulai?"

Jiang He was taken aback, but then he realized what was going on and said, "Could this little bald monk have obtained some great opportunity? He has already reached the mid-level half-saint level in such a short time... and his aura is still rapidly increasing. Could he be about to break through to the saint realm in one go?"

Obviously.

Jiang He is overthinking it.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Rulai's cultivation level finally stopped rising after reaching the advanced semi-saint level.

Moreover, the Buddhist light surrounding the White Horse Temple is gradually dimming.

Crunch!

The temple gates opened.

Xu Rulai, wearing a kasaya and holding a staff, came out to greet us. He raised one hand to his chest and said, "Amitabha, benefactor Jianghe, we owe a great debt to you today. Otherwise, my White Horse Temple would probably have been breached by those demons and monsters."

Jiang He walked into the temple, looked Xu Rulai up and down, and asked, "Xu Rulai, what's going on with you?"

Xu Rulai's expression was neither sad nor happy. He said, "This humble monk has had a small stroke of luck here and has made some progress in my cultivation... In addition, this humble monk is now the abbot of Baima Temple, with the Dharma name Shi Hui. Please, benefactor Jianghe, do not call me by my secular name anymore."

Jiang He: "Then what should I call you?"

Xu Rulai: "Call me Abbot Master!"

"Fuck you!"

Jiang He clenched his fist, jumped up, and punched Xu Rulai to the ground, then pinned him down and gave him a good beating!
"Oh shit!"

"I'm out there fighting for my life, and you come here to receive the inheritance... That's bad enough, but you even have the nerve to put on airs!"

"Say!"

"What's going on?"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Xu Rulai screamed and cried out as he was being beaten, "Stop hitting me... Jiang He, Brother Jiang... Uncle Jiang, you're my uncle, please stop hitting me!"

"I'll speak properly, I promise I'll speak properly!"

Jiang He then stopped.

Xu Rulai stood up, rubbing his bruised and swollen face, and said, "A ghost emperor is being suppressed in this White Horse Temple. The monks in the temple have endured until now through their unwavering will. My appearance gave them hope, so they passed on their understanding of Buddhism and relics to me, allowing me to succeed as the abbot of White Horse Temple and continue to suppress that ghost emperor!"
