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

An ancient cosmic secret realm, hundreds of millions of miles long and wide, and comparable in size to a "small world," collapsed in an instant, was swallowed up by the flames of the epochal cataclysm, and finally completely disappeared from all the heavens and myriad worlds.

The spacetime where that cosmic secret realm was located was now only a vast expanse of calamity-burning flames.

Large amounts of calamity ash drifted away into the distant starry sky.

The Dragon Emperor, the Evil Dragon Emperor, and the Yellow Springs Emperor, who witnessed this scene firsthand, all fell silent!
Is the catastrophe of the era truly unstoppable?
This cosmic secret realm is extremely special. It has existed for several eras, perhaps it is a fragment of a great world from seven or eight eras ago, forged and crafted by a powerful being... It survived several epochal calamities, but in the end it still turned into ashes.

As for rivers...

He didn't have that many feelings.

He is currently wandering around, collecting ashes from the looted lands.

"It's developed, it's developed!"

"This cosmic secret realm has already undergone several epochal calamities, accumulating a lot of calamity ash... Now it has burned out completely, and a large amount of calamity fire has been generated. Even though a lot of it was swallowed up by spatial turbulence due to the collapse of spacetime, the calamity ash I have collected at this moment is still tens of millions of pounds!"

One pound of Calamity Ashes can increase the physical body's basic strength by 1000 Dragon Power, which is equivalent to the reward of killing a half-saint!

It is calculated that 10 catties of calamity ash can increase the physical body's basic strength by 1 star power, and tens of millions of catties... is equivalent to thousands of star power!
In addition to the storage ring he had previously collected, if he also took into account the "gift" from that god-race expert, Jiang He estimated that his strength could be greatly improved this time, and his cultivation might even have a chance to break through to the "Ancestor Level".

Most importantly, the ashes of the plundered haven't been completely collected yet.

The rivers flowed in all directions, full of vigor, constantly collecting the ashes of the calamity.

Seeing this, the Evil Dragon Emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother Jianghe... it's no use. At the end of the era, the calamity of the era has already arrived. The ashes produced by the burning calamity fire will eventually spread throughout the entire heavens. It's impossible to collect them all by just gathering them."

Jianghe ignored him and continued collecting the ashes of the calamity.

It took him more than an hour to finally collect all the ashes.

The Dragon Emperor, the Evil Dragon Emperor, and the Yellow Springs Emperor flew over.

The Dragon Emperor said, "Jiang He, I'm sorry... I never expected this trip to the cosmic secret realm to end like this."

According to the dragons' exploration and judgment, this cosmic secret realm was originally considered to be an ancient secret realm that had not yet been "explored". Such an unexplored cosmic secret realm must contain a large number of treasures.

but……

In this secret realm, there was the "Heavenly Heart Immortal" in front and that powerful god behind. They had obviously plundered the secret realm, and most of these treasures had been used up by the "Heavenly Heart Immortal" when he created the "Heavenly Heart Realm" in the previous era.

The Dragon Emperor said this simply because Jiang He had just gotten married and was invited to explore the secret realm of the universe, but he didn't gain much, and he felt guilty.

Jiang He was extremely satisfied and said, "This trip to the secret realm not only allowed me to kill an invincible god, but also to obtain his treasures. I gained a lot, while the three seniors made a wasted trip."

He took out the storage ring of that powerful god and intended to divide the treasures inside into four parts.

The Dragon Emperor, the Evil Dragon Emperor, and the Yellow Springs Emperor refused to accept it, so Jiang He gave up.

This secret realm has collapsed, so this trip to the "Cosmic Secret Realm" has come to an end.

"Brother Jianghe, what are your plans?"

The Evil Dragon Emperor said, "The Dragon Emperor, several ancestors of the clan, and I plan to set off for the source of the Weak Water... At the end of the era, the calamity of the era has arrived. If we want to advance further, we can only rely on that [Gate to the Immortal Realm]."

"If you want to go, we'll go with you."

Beside him, the Dragon Emperor also spoke up: "You killed Lu Ya, the Emperor of the Golden Crow Clan, as well as many experts from the Stone Clan and the Witch Clan. The Golden Crow Ancestor, the Witch Ancestor, and the Stone Ancestor will definitely not let you go. If we travel together, we can help each other on the way... Once we reach the source of the Weak Water, with the protection of your human ancestors and powerful figures, we will not be afraid of the Golden Crow Ancestor and the others."

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "I still have to go back to the ancestral star. Besides, my cultivation level has not yet reached the [Ancestor Level], so I don't plan to go to the source of the Weak Water for the time being. I won't cause any trouble for Brother Evil Dragon and you seniors."

The Evil Dragon Emperor nodded and laughed, "That's right... With your rate of progress, you'll probably reach the [Ancestor Level] soon. Your current combat power is already comparable to [Invincible]. Once you reach the [Ancestor Level], your combat power will definitely increase significantly. Perhaps then I'll have to rely on you."

They exchanged a few pleasantries.

The Dragon Emperor and the Evil Dragon Emperor then used a spatial teleportation technique to leave.

The Yellow Springs Emperor needed to stay in the underworld to suppress the "world beast," and he soon departed.

After the three invincibles left, Jiang He happily looked at the distant starry sky.

The collapsed spacetime at the original location of the "cosmic secret realm" has gradually recovered, but the calamity fire in the starry sky is still burning, covering a full 100,000 miles of starry sky... and the calamity fire is showing signs of spreading in all directions.

Jiang He arrived at the edge of the calamity fire, gazing at the slowly burning flames with utter astonishment.

"The universe is a vacuum... how can this thing continue to burn and spread?"

He stretched out his finger and touched the starry sky that had been burned by the flames of the calamity.

Snapped!
The space seemed to shatter like a mirror.

Jiang He's eyes widened.

"I didn't use any force with that finger, yet it still broke through space?"

"Or is it that... the space scorched by the flames has become inherently extremely fragile?"

Jiang He picked up the shattered fragment of space, but the fragment turned into ashes as it landed in his palm.

"Good heavens... this calamity fire has even burned away the space itself?"

"and……"

"In just a short while, the flames have expanded to a range of nearly a hundred meters..."

The unit "hundred meters" is almost negligible in the vastness of the universe. Even the distance between two adjacent stars in the same galaxy is measured in tens of millions of kilometers, and the diameter of a galaxy may be hundreds of thousands of light-years.

But you must know that the end of the era has only just begun.

The cataclysm of the epoch's destruction has only just begun!
Once the cataclysmic destruction of the era fully erupts, many ancient cosmic secret realms will be ignited by the cataclysmic fire, and countless great and small worlds will be engulfed in cataclysmic fire. The cataclysmic fire will sweep across the entire heavens, devouring all celestial bodies and spaces that can be devoured!
Jiang He's mind raced. He activated the [Law of Heaven and Earth], his body transforming into a form hundreds of thousands of miles tall, and suddenly opened his mouth to inhale—

Wow!

The calamity fire that covered hundreds of thousands of miles of starry sky suddenly rose up, transformed into a fire dragon, and was swallowed by the river.

"Ding!"

"Refine the Calamity Flame, Strength +100 Dragon Power".

"Ding!"

"Refine the Calamity Flame, Strength +100 Dragon Power".

"Ding……"

System notifications kept ringing in his mind, and Jiang He's physical strength rapidly increased, quickly breaking through the "12000 Star Power" barrier, then breaking through "13000 Star Power", and finally stopping after climbing to "14600 Star Power".

"This feeling of rapid improvement...it's amazing!"

The rapid increase in Qi and blood power caused Jiang He's Qi and blood power to circulate involuntarily. As the Qi and blood flowed, it was like a celestial river rushing forward, emitting bursts of booming sounds.

With a gentle palm strike, the space of the hundreds of thousands of kilometers of starry sky, which had been burned by the calamity fire, shattered and turned into a large amount of calamity ash that floated up.

Jiang He inhaled again, and a large amount of calamity ash entered his body, causing his physical strength to rise rapidly once again, eventually settling at "15800 Star Power".

Jiang He was satisfied and tore through space to head towards the star field where Kunlun Realm was located.

Along the way, he continuously refined the ashes from the two storage rings he had collected for cultivation. When he returned to the Kunlun Realm 10 days later, his physical body's basic strength had reached "19000 Star Power".

End of March 2028.

The rivers returned to the Kunlun Mountains.

He went to Tianmen Pass, met Qin Jiuzhou, and then returned to his ancestral star. At the mountain villa outside Wu City, only Yun Yanchen was home.

Only after inquiring did I learn...

Jiang Hai and his wife, Yun Zheng and his wife, along with Chen Jingzhou, Liu Feng, Xiahou Wu, Zhuo Bufan, and Shui Qianyun, had made plans to travel around the world together a week earlier.

They were only four or five years old when spiritual energy was first revived.

They experienced the darkest period of their ancestral planet's history. When they grew up, they began to practice martial arts, wielding swords to hunt ferocious beasts and protect their homeland. Even later, when Chen Jingzhou, Xiahou Wu, Zhuo Bufan, Liu Feng, Shui Qianyun, and others achieved success in their cultivation, they still needed to stay in Daxia and go to Kunlun Realm to resist foreign enemies, risking their lives to cultivate.

now……

Finally, I have some free time; it's time to enjoy myself.

Moreover, with their strength, no one on the ancestral star could threaten them, so Jiang He wasn't worried. Instead, he hugged Yun Yanchen and his hands became restless. He said, "Wife, as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder... We haven't seen each other for 20 days. Shouldn't you make it up to me?"

"oops!"

Yun Yanchen blushed and said, "It's still daytime..."

What happened during the day?

Jiang He scooped Yun Yanchen up in his arms and strode into the room, saying, "What's wrong with indulging in debauchery in broad daylight?"

Yunyanchen half-heartedly agreed...

And then... well, you know...

Specific details cannot be described here.

Jiang He spent half a month at home with Yun Yanchen... During this half month, Jiang He did not stop cultivating. He had refined all the magical treasures and rare items that the powerful god had "given" to him.

Name: Jiang He

[Age: 23 years old]

Occupation: Mentally ill patient

[Power: 20800 Star Power]

"My physical strength has finally broken through the 2 Star Power barrier."

Jiang He sighed; almost four years had passed...

"My current basic physical strength, while not quite at the level of the [Ancestor Level], is not far off... After four years of hard work in body training, this achievement is not in vain for my four years of unwavering dedication."

"pity."

"I still haven't mastered Sword Seven..."

The Nine Sword Techniques were passed down by the Eastern Pole Master.

Jiang He is a body cultivator and cannot practice the techniques passed down by Master Dongji, so he can only practice swordsmanship... If he can't even master "Sword Seven", how can he face Master Dongji?

"Sword skills must be practiced."

“The cultivation of the physical body cannot be stopped either… The Yellow Springs Emperor said that there is also an ancient cosmic secret realm near the territory of the Ten Clans. The Fusang Divine Tree has benefited greatly from it, and everything inside should have been plundered. But what I need is not treasures!”

I stayed at home for another week.

During this time, Jiang He made a trip to the Qinling Mountains.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is still cultivating in the Qinling Mountains. She already possesses top-tier "ancestor-level" cultivation memories and insights. In addition, she left behind some contingency plans before her reincarnation, and has enough cultivation resources. With the help of the dragon vein energy, her cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two months, and she is not far from the ancestor level.

If we say that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's cultivation progress is reasonable.

Then Yun Yanchen's progress is somewhat exaggerated.

She has only been an emperor for a little over two months, but her current cultivation level is no weaker than that of experts like "Emperor Pan Shi" and "Wu Jiu" back then. Most importantly, with the improvement of her cultivation level, she has begun to gradually refine the "Immortal Laws" within her body, and her progress is getting faster and faster!

In Yun Yanchen's words, she was confident that she could reach the "ancestor level" within six months.

2028, April 6.

Jiang Hai and his wife, Yun Zheng and his wife, and others who had gone on a “world tour” returned to Wucheng.

Everyone was overjoyed to see Jiang He, sharing their experiences from various places, and even bringing back some local specialties from different parts of the West... Liu Feng even brought back a blonde, blue-eyed girl.

Jiang He asked Zhuo Bufan and only then did he learn the truth...

This girl is a "Sacred Domain Mage". She encountered Liu Feng when she was being chased. Liu Feng rescued her and later found out about her enemies... a group of evil mages from the West who committed all sorts of heinous crimes.

Later, Liu Feng intervened and wiped out that group of people. Out of gratitude, the blonde, blue-eyed girl began to follow Liu Feng...

but……

Over time, Liu Feng and Liu Feng fell in love. Liu Feng took her back to Wucheng, got engaged to her, and planned to get married a year later.

I stayed at home for a few more days.

On June 28th, Jianghe left his ancestral star and headed towards the territory of the Ten Clans.

He spent ten days traveling to the territory of the ten races. After searching, he finally discovered the secret realm of the universe in a star field 1.2 million light-years away from the Golden Crow Ancestral Realm.

This cosmic secret realm is much smaller than the previous one, spanning approximately 150 million kilometers in length and width. It is also more dilapidated than the previous cosmic secret realm, and the calamity fire outside is much stronger.

Surrounding the cosmic secret realm are three "star fortresses" built from fragments of the continent.

Jianghe sensed it.

These three "Starry Sky Fortresses" are much weaker than the one built by the Dragon Clan, but each one is guarded by a Great Emperor, as well as a dozen Great Saints, hundreds of Saint Realm experts, and a large number of Half-Saints.

Jiang He initially intended to smash the three star fortresses with a single punch from a distance, annihilating the Golden Crow, Stone, and Witch Clan disciples within. However, upon further reflection—

"Killing them would certainly boost our strength, but with only three Great Emperors, less than 50 Great Saints and over 300 Saints, killing them all would be meaningless."

He flashed and appeared in front of that cosmic secret realm.

Boom!

His aura erupted instantly, and a powerful pressure spread, causing the three star fortresses to tremble.

Within the three star fortresses, the three emperors swiftly flew out. Upon discovering it was Jiang He, their expressions changed drastically, and they turned to flee.

"Anyone who dares to run away, I will kill!"

Jiang He spoke calmly, saying, "Stay here and contact the experts within your clans... have them bring treasures to ransom you, otherwise all the beings of the three races in these three star fortresses will die today!"

"you dare!"

The Stone Clan Emperor roared, "Jiang He... how dare you threaten my Stone Clan? Do you really think that my Stone Clan's ancestor was as easy as the Heavenly Demon Ancestor?"

The Great Emperor of the Witch Clan also said in a deep voice: "Jiang He, leave a way out for others... The feud between our ten clans and your Kunlun Realm has already claimed countless lives, and it's time to let it go. You are so ungrateful, aren't you afraid that our three ancestors, the Witch Clan, the Stone Clan, and the Golden Crow Clan, will join forces to deal with you?"

"Ok?"

Jiang He raised an eyebrow: "Are you threatening me?"

He raised his hand and threw a punch from a distance.

boom!
The Great Emperor of the Witch Clan was instantly blasted apart in mid-air! (End of Chapter)
