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

How terrifying is Jianghe's power?
An ordinary emperor like him couldn't possibly withstand this punch.

boom!
The Great Emperor of the Witch Clan, with only three eras of cultivation, was directly blasted apart by Jiang He's punch, causing the surrounding space to collapse.

Jiang He reached back and grabbed the exploding blood mist, the source of his power, and the scattered imperial weapons and storage rings on his body. He then swallowed the blood mist and the source of his power into his stomach.

"Ding!"

"You have killed an Emperor, Strength +10 Star Power".

"Ding!"

"You have refined the Emperor's Origin, your power increases by 10 Star Power."

As the system notification sounded in his mind, Jiang He grabbed the imperial weapon left behind by the Great Emperor of the Witch Clan, threw it into his mouth, chewed it with a crunching sound, and then swallowed it. He smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, please behave yourselves. I'm going to force Jiang He to take action."

The three star fortresses are billions of miles apart.

The Great Saints and Saints of the Golden Crow Clan, Stone Clan, and Witch Clan on the Starry Sky Fortress were terrified when they saw this scene!

A great emperor was blasted apart from afar, and then instantly devoured...

If even the Great Emperor is like this, how can we, a group of Great Sages and Saints, possibly resist?
They immediately began contacting the experts within their clan.

Soon, one Great Emperor each from the Golden Crow Clan, the Stone Clan, and the Witch Clan arrived.

These three emperors were all extremely ancient. Although their realms had not reached the "ancestor level," their cultivation was more than ten eras. They dared not get too close to the river, but instead landed far away near the "star fortress" built by their own clan.

The Stone Clan's Great Emperor said in a deep voice, "Jiang He, what exactly do you want to do?"

Jiang He said, "Isn't this obvious enough? Your three clans' people are surrounded by me... If you want them to live, bring treasures to ransom them!"

"Jiang He, you've already reached the [Invincible] level, how can you be so shameless?"

The Great Emperor of the Golden Crow Clan couldn't help but speak up.

Jiang He looked over coldly and said, "I've already shown mercy by not killing them... Of course, your Golden Crow Clan can choose not to redeem them, and I will kill them."

Boom!

His blood and energy surged, and his body continued to grow taller.

The combination of [Law of Heaven and Earth] and [Three Heads and Six Arms] was unleashed, and the blood and qi in his body burned fiercely under the effect of the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique". His aura shook the heavens and the earth, causing the starry sky to tremble.

He took a step forward and arrived in front of the Golden Crow Clan's "Starry Sky Fortress," raising his hand to take a picture.

"No!"

The Golden Crow Emperor's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Emperor Jianghe... wait! My Golden Crow Clan is willing to pay a price to redeem the lives of many of my clansmen. We hope that Emperor Jianghe will show mercy!"

Inside that "Starry Sky Fortress," many Great Saints and Saint Realm experts begged for mercy.

Even the Great Emperor who was stationed at the Golden Crow Clan's "Starry Sky Fortress" flew out and said, "Emperor Jianghe, please state your conditions. Everything is negotiable."

Jiang He turned his palm around and struck out a hundred light-years away.

The enormous palm shadow formed from blood flames fell, piercing through the starry sky hundreds of light-years away, causing space to collapse and forming a black hole with a diameter of several light-years.

This scene made the hearts of several great emperors pound wildly...

Jiang He knew in his heart that his strength had probably increased again compared to the battle outside the Golden Crow Ancestor Realm!

Jiang He withdrew the aura from his palm, his figure quickly returning to normal, and said with a smile, "I, Jiang, have always believed in reasoning with people. Since you are sincere in discussing business with me, I will not make exorbitant demands or haggle..."

He scanned the area briefly with his spiritual power and said, "One price: ten Emperor-grade weapons, one hundred top-grade Saint-grade weapons, one thousand high-grade Saint-grade weapons, plus another thirty thousand ordinary Saint-grade weapons, and I will spare your lives!"

Several great emperors flew together and exchanged a few words through divine sense. The great emperor of the Golden Crow Clan spoke up, "Emperor Jianghe, we can fulfill your request, but you must release the people first!"

Jiang He shook his head and said, "Once the goods arrive, I will naturally let you leave... Also, this quantity is only the price for your Golden Crow Clan, and the same applies to the Stone Clan... As for the Witch Clan, since you just lost a Great Emperor, I will deduct two Emperor Weapons from your price."

"How about it? Is it fair?"

"what?"

"Ten imperial weapons from each race, one hundred top-grade holy weapons, and one thousand superior-grade holy weapons?"

The emperors' expressions darkened.

Given the resources of the Golden Crow Clan, the Witch Clan, and the Stone Clan, they can certainly produce so many magical treasures and weapons... but it still hurts a bit.

In particular, the Great Emperor of the Witch Clan couldn't help but ask, "Emperor Jianghe, the Golden Crow Clan and the Stone Ancestor each have a Great Emperor guarding the Starry Sky Fortress. You have already killed the Great Emperor of our clan guarding the Starry Sky Fortress. Why do you still need to send out eight Imperial Weapons?"

"Aren't you yourself worth eight imperial weapons?"

Jiang He, his patience waning, cursed, "Quickly inform your clan to send me the goods as soon as possible... If I don't see the goods within a day, I will kill you all!"

Hey!
The three emperors secretly grumbled in their hearts.

If I had known this would happen, I would have sent a great sage to negotiate with Jiang He, instead of being left here without any room for bargaining.

The Great Emperor of the Witch Clan looked even more disgusted than if he had eaten excrement. He said in a deep voice, "Very well... I will immediately send a message to the Ancestral Realm and order someone to deliver the weapons and magical treasures that Emperor Jianghe requested. I hope that Emperor Jianghe will keep his word and honor his promise."

"Why the hell do you have to send someone to deliver the goods instead of babbling on and on?"

Jiang He glared at him and cursed, "And all the weapons and magical treasures you have on you, hand them all over to me."

"what?"

"Do we have to pay too?"

Jiang He: "Nonsense, you are now my prisoners, so the magical treasures you possess naturally belong to me."

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

The Stone Clan's Great Emperor gritted his teeth and released all the magical treasures on his body from their bondage, throwing them to Jiang He. These included four Imperial Weapons, more than a dozen top-grade Saint Weapons, and hundreds of other high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade Saint Weapons.

For a powerful cultivator like him, low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade sacred weapons are useless, and even top-grade sacred weapons have negligible effect.

But for those in high positions, you may not need them, but you can't be without them.

It's also convenient to reward subordinates regularly.

The Great Emperors of the Golden Crow Clan and the Witch Clan glared at the Great Emperor of the Stone Clan upon seeing his actions. The Great Emperor of the Stone Clan shrugged and said, "Fellow Daoists... weigh your options: life or magic treasure."

"The calamity of the era has arrived... We can only live for a thousand years or so. Since we are powerless to resist the great calamity, we might as well live for a thousand years and enjoy ourselves."

"Now that our three ancestors are no longer among the myriad realms, we cannot reach the rivers and lakes... Since that is the case, why should we risk our lives for some worldly possessions?"

"Well said."

The river clapped and cheered.

The Stone Clan Emperor turned to all the Stone Clan citizens in the Starry Sky Fortress and said, "All Stone Clan members, listen to my command: release your weapons and magical artifacts from their mastery, and then hand them over to Emperor Jianghe in your storage rings."

With him setting an example, the Golden Crow Clan and the Witch Clan had no choice but to follow suit.

soon.

Several storage rings were brought up.

Jiang He took it, sensed it briefly with his spiritual power, and couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself, "Damn... I'm so smart! Refining all these holy weapons and even imperial weapons is much more worthwhile than killing these bastards!"

What?
If I kill them, the treasures on their bodies will also be mine?
My attack, Jiang, was far too violent. A single punch shattered the starry sky, and countless sacred resources, weapons, magical artifacts, and storage treasures were swept away by the spatial turbulence. Where would we find them? Moreover…

There is also "ransom".

Since it concerned the lives of the three emperors, under their urging, the three races sent experts to deliver the ransom in full the following day.

"Emperor Jianghe, may we leave now?"

The Golden Crow clan member asked cautiously, fearing that Jiang He might change his mind.

Jiang He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get lost, or I might not be able to resist beating you to death later!"

The three emperors, feeling as if granted a pardon, hurriedly activated the array restrictions within the Starry Sky Fortresses and fled with their people from the three "Starry Sky Fortresses".

They flew more than ten light-years in one go before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

The three emperors looked at each other in bewilderment...

There was a hint of awkwardness in their eyes.

The Great Emperor of the Stone Clan coughed and said, "Gentlemen... I believe that today's events have been handled in the best way possible. Otherwise, I fear that the lives of many of our clansmen in these three star fortresses would be in danger, and even you and I would not escape our fate."

The Great Emperor of the Witch Clan remained silent.

The Golden Crow Clan member retorted, "Jiang He threatened our clansmen with their lives, so we had no choice but to hand over some weapons and magical treasures. But Your Majesty, it's a bit too much for you to lead the way by surrendering your own magical treasures..."

The Stone Emperor laughed and said, "Are you trying to say I have no backbone? What is backbone compared to life?"

He said, "The three of us should talk things over first... There's no need to tell the three ancestors about what happened today."

"The three ancestors are fighting at the source of the Weak Water. We can't help them in any way in the myriad worlds, so why should we add to their troubles?"

"This……"

The Great Emperor of the Witch Clan pondered, "Such a major event has occurred. If we don't report it to the Ancestor... what if the Ancestor finds out later and blames us? Besides, while the disciples of the clan are safe and sound, that cosmic secret realm has already been occupied by Jiang He..."

The Stone Emperor said, "We have already explored that secret realm. All the treasures within have been taken by the Fusang Divine Tree. What value is left of an empty shell?"

He paused, then began, "As for the ancestors' grievances..."

At this point, the Stone Clan Emperor paused for several seconds before saying, "We should all share the burden."

However, the two emperors of the Golden Crow Clan and the Witch Clan showed expressions of sudden realization. They seemed to understand the meaning of the unspoken words of the Stone Clan Emperor, but dared not utter them.

The cataclysm of the epoch's destruction is imminent...

If the powerful beings at the source of the Weak Water still cannot solve the problem of the "Cataclysm of the Epoch", then all the heavens and myriad worlds will be completely destroyed as the cataclysmic fire spreads... At that time, we will all be gone, and the ancestors can blame us however they want.

…………

In front of that mysterious cosmic realm suspended in the sky.

Jiang He smiled broadly as he weighed the storage ring in his hand.

"52 Imperial Weapons, 1086 Top-Grade Sacred Weapons, nearly 10,000 High-Grade Sacred Weapons, and nearly 1 million Mid-Grade and Low-Grade Imperial Weapons... Refining all of them would be enough to increase the physical body's basic strength by more than 1000 Star Power!"

"And it can further strengthen my physical body..."

He looked up at the secret realm of the universe, and then leaped into it.

Treasure hunt?

Jiang He never thought about treasure hunting.

He was inside the cosmic secret realm, his power bursting forth. He threw several punches, smashing them into various parts of the cosmic secret realm, and then the entire cosmic secret realm began to shake and tremble violently.

The mountains and rivers within the secret realm are collapsing, and dilapidated buildings are turning into ruins.

Jianghe stomped his foot suddenly, unleashing his power.

next moment……

boom!
The entire cosmic secret realm began to collapse.

The calamity fire that had accumulated in various parts of this cosmic secret realm for many eras erupted and scattered across the entire starry sky.

Jiang He was in a flurry of activity, gathering the raging fire.

It took him the better part of an hour to collect all the calamity fire. He couldn't help but complain, "The quality of this cosmic secret realm seems to be much worse than the last one. It's probably only three or four epochs old... I've collected less than half of the calamity ashes from last time!"

Jiang He swallowed a mouthful of calamity ash and refined it, then immediately began collecting calamity fire.

The calamity fire that burned after the collapse of this cosmic secret realm was also less than half of that of the upper cosmic secret realm. After Jiang He finished collecting them, he was still not satisfied and came to the outer realm of the Golden Crow Ancestor while refining them.

At this moment, the Golden Crow Emperor had just returned to the Golden Crow Ancestral Realm.

He was terrified as soon as he sensed the river's presence and roared, "Quickly... quickly activate the protective array and start the methods left behind by the Ancestor!"

Rumble!
The entire Golden Crow Ancestral Realm trembled, and a golden protective array rose up.

Moreover, there was an aura within the realm that made even rivers feel uneasy.

"It seems my guess was right... There are always backup plans within the realms where [Invincible] exists."

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang He couldn't help but have a sudden thought, and a feeling arose in his heart... If he were to enter the Golden Crow Ancestral Realm, he feared he would have a hard time escaping unscathed!

Having reached the level of Jianghe in cultivation, although he is a body cultivator, his six senses are sharp, and he has a strange premonition of danger.

Some even possess the ability to deduce future changes based on the laws of the Great Dao and the workings of the Heavenly Dao.

"Emperor of Rivers and Lakes!"

After arranging everything, the Golden Crow Emperor sent an avatar outside the boundary and said, "Emperor Jianghe is an invincible being. Going back on his word... if word gets out, I'm afraid it will be a loss of face, won't it?"

This guy……

Hiding within the boundary has certainly emboldened them considerably.

Jiang He said calmly, "I did not kill you bunch of trash, nor did I attack the Golden Crow Ancestral Realm. How can this be considered going back on my word?"

"Oh?"

"What brings the River Emperor here?"

Jiang He said, "I would like to inquire whether there are any other cosmic secret realms appearing in this vicinity?"

The Golden Crow Emperor said, "No..."

But there was a sneer in his heart.

Rumors circulated that Emperor Jianghe wasn't quite right in the head, and now it seems that's indeed the case!

Even if my Golden Crow Clan had a clue to a certain secret realm in the universe, would I tell you?

"really?"

Jiang He said, "Swear... if you're lying to me, I'll make sure your ancestor doesn't survive the great calamity of this era!" (End of Chapter)
