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

"you……"

"You dare to eat me?"

Inside the river's belly, the female ghost emperor let out an incredulous voice, laughing loudly, "Boy, even if I only have one percent of my full power, it's not something a mere body-refining brute like you can devour and refine... Hmm?"

"What power is this?"

"what……"

The empress's voice suddenly turned extremely terrified. She screamed and then fell silent.

However, Jiang He frowned.

because……

No system notification sound was heard.

He calmed himself down, looked inward, and discovered that the female ghost emperor had not been refined.

She transformed into a wisp of Yin energy, unleashing a powerful imperial might. It was unclear what method she used, but although she wasn't immediately refined, she could only barely survive and had no way to retaliate... she couldn't even self-destruct!

"As expected of a Great Emperor!"

Seeing this, Jiang He sighed and said, "It's so difficult to refine... Oh well, just treat it as eating a stone and refine it slowly."

"No!"

in vivo.

From within that wisp of Yin energy, the female ghost emperor's terrified voice rang out, screaming, "Don't refine me... don't refine me! I'm willing to submit! I'm willing to submit to you!"

"Even if you wish to submit, I dare not accept it."

Jiang He said, "Keeping a Ghost Emperor by my side... am I afraid I won't die fast enough?"

He withdrew his physical supernatural powers, and his body rapidly shrank.

The yin energy that had enveloped most of the secret realm gradually dissipated, and the White Horse Temple, which had been submerged by the yin energy, reappeared in sight, its faint Buddhist light continuously purifying this world.

However, after the recent great battle, this world has been completely reduced to ruins.

The earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and the lingering fist intent and imperial might in the void continued to tear apart space and time.

"drive!"

"Giddy up...whoosh~~~!"

Xu Rulai arrived in his bronze chariot, his face full of disbelief. He looked Jiang He up and down and said, "Old Jiang, you're quite something... You actually managed to take care of this Ghost Emperor?"

Ji Wufa, Lu Zhishang, and Fairy Yun all looked shocked!
Since ancient times, the Great Emperor has been the pinnacle of all heavens and myriad realms!

Throughout history, many great emperors have died.

However, these emperors either found themselves in perilous situations, died from the exhaustion of their lifespans, or were killed by even more powerful emperors... Looking across all the heavens and myriad realms, there has never been a precedent of a great sage defying an emperor!
wrong!

Rivers...

Not the Great Sage yet!
Jiang He didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, he was just a Great Emperor who had been suppressed for an entire era, and his cultivation was no longer at its peak. He smiled bitterly and said, "A Ghost Emperor is not so easily killed..."

talking.

He patted his stomach and said, "Look, I haven't refined it yet."

"Let me out! Let me out now!"

At this time.

The female ghost emperor's hysterical voice rang out, and everyone present heard it clearly, causing their expressions to become even more bizarre.

Hey!
Jiang He cursed with a dark face, "Alright, shut the hell up... If you keep babbling, I'll dump you in the latrine!"

Perhaps his words had an effect.

Perhaps the female ghost emperor was truly intimidated, for she fell silent for a moment.

The group returned to the White Horse Temple.

Upon learning that the envoys of the ten clans were about to arrive in the Kunlun Realm, Xu Rulai immediately stood up and said, "Old Jiang, I'll go out with you."

"how?"

Jiang He raised an eyebrow and said, "You're not going to be the abbot of Baima Temple anymore?"

Xu Rulai said, "If Kunlun Realm does not exist, where will the White Horse Temple be? Moreover, there is no conflict between following you to fight against the Ten Clans and me becoming the abbot of the White Horse Temple."

Hey!
But that conflicts with my goal of gaining experience!

Jiang He thought to himself, but said, "If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. It's not time for you young people to go to the battlefield yet... You stay at Baima Temple and cultivate yourself!"

"How can my sacred realm live a life of ignominy?"

"What use would you, a mere early-stage Saint Realm cultivator, be if you went?"

"........."

Jiang He did not stay at Baima Temple for long before setting off with Ji Wufa.

He crossed the Weak Water River to the other side and sped off towards Tianfeng Canyon!

Ji Wufa followed behind Jiang He and asked curiously, "Brother Jiang, we came from Baima Mountain, why don't we go back from Baima Mountain?"

Jiang He asked, "Do you recognize the way you came?"

Ji Wu shook her head.

Isn’t that okay?
I can't even find the way I came, how am I supposed to go back!

After running for a while, Ji Wufa asked again, "Brother Jiang, where are we going? My elder brother once stumbled into the Weak Water and had some opportunities... He told me about a place where we can leave the Weak Water and go directly to the Central Region."

Jiang He stopped, speechless, and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He had originally planned to leave through Tianfeng Canyon.

However, the journey from here to Tianfeng Canyon is long. We will then transfer from the ancestral star to Tianmen Pass, then go to the Eastern Region Holy King City, and then take a teleportation array directly to the Central Region... Even if we don't stop for a moment, it will take four or five days.

Since there is a direct route, let's just follow Ji Wufa's directions.

Ji was unable to look around.

He then took out a small notebook from his storage space, flipped through it, and said, "According to the map my elder brother wrote down, the spatial passage out of the Weak Water should be in the rear."

The two changed direction and began searching for the spatial passage that Ji Wufa had mentioned.

Half a day later.

Jiang He asked, "Brother Ji, have we arrived yet?"

Ji Wufa: "Soon, soon! In half a day at most, we will arrive!"

One day later.

Jiang He asked, "Brother Ji, have we arrived yet?"

Ji Wufa whispered, "Almost there, almost there... Brother Jiang, let's travel at full speed. We should arrive in half a day!"

A day later, he grabbed Ji Wufa by the collar and roared, "Damn it... Ji Wufa, do you even know the way? Do you know that the envoys of the ten clans will be arriving in Kunlun Realm in three days? If I don't get back in time, Kunlun Realm will be in big trouble!"

"When the armies of the ten clans arrive, not only will the Kunlun Realm be destroyed, but even the ancestral star will be finished!"

Ji Wufa's face turned green with fright. He whispered, "The map my brother recorded is too blurry, and the spacetime of Ruoshui is dark, making it difficult to find reference points... Brother Jiang, why don't we just follow the path you know?"

"That's too late!"

Jiang He shook his head and said, "It's too late to take this route now!"

He pinned Ji Wufa to the ground and beat her severely, saying, "Lead the way... If you can't get out of the Weak Water within three days, I'll throw you into the Weak Water and feed you to the eels!"

"Ding!" "You have experienced a battle, strength +10kg."

Ji Wufa, his face bruised and swollen, said, "Brother Jiang, that strange fish in the Weak Water is narrow and long, with a face like a human's features. It should be a legendary creature, not an eel."

"You think you know so much!"

Jiang He pinned Ji Wufa down and beat her again.

After Ji was unable to get up... he was beaten again.

After using up the attribute points from the daily three battles, Jiang He felt much more relaxed. He urged Ji Wuneng to find the way quickly, while he climbed up the nearby forest and found some "ghost soldiers" to grind experience.

"I reckon that Ghost Emperor won't be able to be refined anytime soon... In that case, I'll take advantage of these few days to grind for experience and try to raise my physical strength to 10 Star Power before I leave!"

As for the warning from that mysterious expert?
Jiang He, however, felt a faint sense of anticipation, then thought to himself, "I wonder if my massacre will truly draw out the terrifying being in the Weak Water..."

"What level of cultivation do those terrifying beings possess?"

"A top-tier Great Sage?"

"Or perhaps the Great Emperor..."

If I kill them, will that cause any changes?
………………

at the same time.

Kunlun Realm.

Yangzhou, one of the nine provinces of the Central Plains.

Yangzhou is the most prosperous and largest prefecture in the Central Region and even the entire Kunlun Realm, without exception!

Yangzhou is vast; in terms of area alone, it is no smaller than the Eastern Regions!

Yangzhou is rich and prosperous, with plains and spiritual mines everywhere, and underground spiritual veins intertwined. You could dig down anywhere and find a spiritual vein... Therefore, there are many powerful people in Yangzhou, and countless aristocratic families and sects.

There are many fish and dragon realms.

Almost every city has a demigod.

In Yangzhou, only sects and forces with a half-saint in charge can be considered third-rate forces.

of course.

It is precisely because Yangzhou is rich that there are many foreign ethnic groups in Yangzhou, and many large sects and powerful forces are controlled by foreign ethnic groups.

For example, the Wang family, the first family in Ancheng, Yangzhou, has three half-saints within the family and a high-level half-saint vampire behind them. In recent years, the Wang family has developed extremely rapidly, and many forces around Ancheng have either become vassals of the Wang family or disappeared without a trace.

Especially in the last 10 years, the Wang family's prestige in Ancheng has been at its zenith.

But today...

The Wang family, however, suffered a bloodbath.

"Wang Zhong".

“As an elder of the Wang family’s Enforcement Hall, you have been committing atrocities and murders for years. For that beast, you slaughtered the entire population of a small town to refine blood pills for him… I sentence you to death!”

Qin Jiuzhou sat in the center of the royal family's main hall.

To his left and right were a group of experts led by Chen Wangting. Apart from Chen Wangting, the Sword Saint, there were as many as thirty-six Half-Saints. Among them were several ancient powerhouses from the Ancestral Star that Jiang He was quite familiar with, such as the "Burial Lion of the Sky" from Flame Mountain.

on the ground.

A group of high-ranking members of the Wang family were kneeling in submission.

Outside the main hall lay corpses, more than four hundred in total… Most of these corpses belonged to the direct descendants of the family.

Chen Wangting had secretly collected evidence of their crimes over the years; all he needed to do was read it out one by one and then execute them.

"No!"

The elder of the Wang family's Enforcement Hall knelt on the ground, his eyes red, and hysterically said, "What crime have I committed? Ever since the ten-clan alliance invaded the Kunlun Realm a thousand years ago, the Kunlun Realm has existed in name only. Now, how many of the major sects and forces in Yangzhou are not controlled by foreign races?"

"I'll slaughter a small town to refine blood pills for the person behind my Wang family, and that will appease him so he won't have to go out to find food... If he goes out, wouldn't it be the entire town that dies!"

"I slaughtered the people of a small town, but in doing so, I indirectly saved hundreds of thousands, or even more, people. What crime have I committed?"

Hey!
Qin Jiuzhou killed Wang Zhong with a single chop from a distance, then waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, no more trial... Drag them all away, have them all examined, dig out their sacred sources and bones, and release their sacred blood to replenish the treasure trove of Tianmen Pass."

Oh shit!

These bastards have committed countless evils over the years, yet they can still spout such fallacies. How thick-skinned must they be?
It is true that many clans and aristocratic families in Yangzhou were controlled by people of different ethnicities.

But the imperial city was, after all, in Yangzhou.

These experts from other races at least have to give "Wind Emperor" some face... After all, "Wind Emperor" is nominally a puppet who governs the Kunlun Realm on behalf of the ten races!
Therefore, these experts from other races usually live a peaceful life.

Many powerful families and sects only comply with the demands of those powerful alien races because they have no other choice or are forced to do so.

But the Wang family is different.

They were actively trying to curry favor with that high-ranking half-saint from the vampire clan.

When Qin Jiuzhou killed that high-level half-saint of the vampire clan, he searched his soul and found that for the past five or six hundred years, he had spent most of his time in seclusion cultivating and trying to break through to the saint realm. Apart from asking the Wang family to find some cultivation resources for him, he did not deliberately ask the Wang family to kill people and do evil.

But the entire Wang family...

Over the years, they have run rampant in Ancheng, wiping out countless families and causing countless deaths and ruins!

There must be many powerful families like the Wang family in Yangzhou.

Qin Jiuzhou said, "Senior Chen Wangting, the envoys of the ten clans are about to arrive. The task of eliminating them will be entrusted to you... Remember, do not make too much of a commotion. If you encounter any troublesome experts, send me a message at any time. With the help of the power of the Kunlun Realm's origin, I can descend upon the Central Region at any time."

Chen Wangting accepted the order and withdrew.

Qin Jiuzhou then summoned the ancient powerhouses of the ancestral star, including Zangtian Shi, and gave them instructions, asking them to assist Chen Wangting in his actions.

"Don't worry, Lord Qin!"

Burial Lion licked his lips and said, "You don't need to tell me, I guarantee I'll kill every single one of these damned alien races I encounter!"

The so-called "purge mission" naturally refers to the elimination of the foreign tribes in Yangzhou.

After Jiang He killed the Great Black Heavenly Demon King and the Great Sun Saint, the Wind Emperor secretly dispatched a group of experts to clean up Ji Province and Yan Province.

In Yangzhou, it was difficult to take action because an "inspector" still resided in the imperial palace.

However, the "Inspector" who was at the early stage of the Great Saint realm had been secretly killed by Qin Jiuzhou and Feng Huang three days ago... The envoys of the ten clans are about to arrive, so naturally, Yangzhou and even the entire Central Region of the Nine Provinces must be thoroughly "cleaned up" before that.

Otherwise, if a great war breaks out, the alien races from all over the Central Region will attack, and the entire Central Region will be thrown into chaos.

After dealing with the Wang family's affairs.

hum!
Qin Jiuzhou vanished without a trace in a flash.

When he appeared, he was already inside the palace.

He has gained the recognition of the origin of the Kunlun Realm, and with the help of the power of the world's origin, he can naturally move easily.

now.

The Emperor was having a meal with his concubines.

Qin Jiuzhou's sudden appearance startled the concubines of the Wind Emperor. The Wind Emperor said speechlessly, "You are, after all, the ruler of a realm. Can't you have some magnanimity? This is my harem... You came without saying a word. Is this appropriate?"

Qin Jiuzhou had no time to waste on such matters with Feng Huang. He said with a solemn expression, "I have received a warning from the Kunlun Realm's origin... The envoys of the ten clans will arrive in the Kunlun Realm in about two days and four hours. Have the people you sent out found Jiang He?"

Feng Huang shook his head.

Hey!
Qin Jiuzhou no longer cared about the "big picture." He couldn't help but curse, saying, "Damn it, I knew this little bastard was unreliable... If I had known this would happen, I would have just ambushed them in space. If this bastard hadn't come, you and I probably wouldn't have been able to stabilize the situation!"

Why would someone disappear at such a crucial moment?
Feng Huang hurriedly said, "Jiang He is still young and not quite right in the head... My men found out that he entered Baima Mountain in Liangzhou, but Baima Mountain is currently in the period of rising poisonous tide and fog, so my men cannot go in to investigate."

"hold on."

"He'll arrive in two more days!" (End of Chapter)
