140: Water and fire are merciless, perfect in their perfection; top-tier combat power of the sixth heaven.

Qingyuan Palace.

A Yellow Leather Pouch was placed upon the desk, its surface swirling with light and faintly stained with a trace of Demonic Qi.

"The Qingqiu Fox Clan, Wolf Clan, Tiger Clan... over a thousand types of Yao Race from the Human Realm are all inside. Lord Realm Master, please take a look." The Three Absolutes Old Man said respectfully.

Li Jiangchen nodded, "You all were thoughtful."

With a thought, the chaos golden roll appeared, emitting a ray of light that fell upon the Three Absolutes Old Man and the others.

Instantly, the three men showed joy. After a few words of encouragement, they bowed and departed.

"Alas, it's a pity that most of the good things from before were used by the previous Realm Master.

By the time it reached my hands, there was only one supreme grade Spirit Treasure, the chaos golden roll." Li Jiangchen sighed.

The chaos golden roll is a supportive supreme grade Spirit Treasure, offering significant help in establishing subordinate forces.

"So be it."

Li Jiangchen's gaze pierced through the Yellow Leather Pouch, revealing two fox Demons huddled together and covered in blood.

They were the two Qingqiu Demon Saints.

At this moment, they were impaled by clean white Seal Origin Pillars, suppressing their cultivation and leaving them as powerless as ordinary minor Demons.

"According to the Holy Spirit, the Yao Race did not originate natively in the Human Realm.

The source of these Yao Race Bloodlines came from the previous Descent of the Realm.

After countless years, their descendants eventually assimilated and became members of the Human Realm."

"Unfortunately, they chose to betray us..."

Li Jiangchen's eyes turned cold. The might of heaven and earth appeared, transforming into a golden bolt of lightning that entered the Yellow Leather Pouch.

Boom—

The startling thunder exploded, instantly annihilating the two Demon Saint fox Demons.

[Killed Demon Saint Fox Demon *1, obtained 108,000 years of Demon cultivation.]

[Killed Demon Saint Fox Demon *1, obtained 93,000 years of Demon cultivation.]

"Not bad. Now my Demon cultivation finally exceeds 200,000 years. However, it's still not enough..."

The jingzhe aspect appeared behind Li Jiangchen. His Divine Soul strength rapidly increased, and an invisible fluctuation surged into the Yellow Leather Pouch. Immediately, swaths of the Yao Race fell down in unison, like wheat being harvested.

There were no wounds on their bodies, but their Divine Souls were already annihilated.

At the same time, massive amounts of information frantically appeared on the panel.

[Killed Pseudo-Saint Cracked Fox Demon *1, obtained 53,000 years of Demon cultivation.]

[Killed Sub-Saint Snake Demon *1, obtained 86,000 years of Demon cultivation.]

...In the blink of an eye, the Demon cultivation on the panel rapidly soared, quickly breaking through a million.

"Still not enough..."

The Pseudo-Saint and Demon King level Demons were quickly slaughtered. Li Jiangchen relentlessly turned his attention to the Demon Lord tier.

The Demon cultivation once again saw a massive increase.

One million.

Two million... three million.

As the last Great Demon was slain, the Demon cultivation on the panel reached a total of 3.1 million years.

At this moment, the remaining Demons in the Yellow Leather Pouch trembled, looking at the corpses covering the ground and begging frantically for mercy.

"Although there are still quite a few remaining Demons, their cultivation is too low. It would be best to let them multiply for a while before harvesting them again..."

Li Jiangchen's mind moved. The massive number of Demons in the Yellow Leather Pouch were thrown into the Ancient Mirror Cave Heaven. At the same time, the large quantity of dead Demon corpses were used as resources, integrating into the soil, mountains, and rivers of the Cave Heaven.

This even included the corpses of the two Qingqiu Demon Saints.

After handling all this, Li Jiangchen quickly consumed the Demon cultivation, condensing three chaos true crystals in front of him.

"First, I will comprehend the Dao of Water and Fire Fusion, and achieve a Breakthrough in the Fusion degree of Water and Fire Ruthlessness to the Perfection Realm in one go."

"If there is any left, I will consider comprehending the Dao of Space-Time. Ideally, I can create a Fusion Sword Move."

Li Jiangchen planned internally.

Water and Fire Ruthlessness was his greatest trump card.

If it Breaks through to the Perfection Realm, its might will definitely undergo earth-shattering changes.

The Dao of Space-Time is the strongest Dao.

Ancient records state: Space is King, Time is Emperor.

These two Profound Truths are extremely difficult to comprehend among Profound Truths of the same rank, but once comprehended, combat power is bound to advance by leaps and bounds.

Li Jiangchen held a chaos true crystal that emitted mysterious fluctuations, and closed his eyes tightly.

[Year One: Holding the chaos true crystal, you begin comprehending the meaning of Water and Fire Fusion. Your understanding rapidly deepens, and the degree of Water and Fire Fusion increases.]

[Year Two: The degree of Water and Fire Fusion increases to 40%.]

[...Year One Thousand: Two chaos true crystals are consumed, and your degree of Water and Fire Fusion reaches the Perfection Realm.]

Whoosh—

Li Jiangchen opened his eyes and extended a finger. Instantly, two Profound Truths, one red and one blue, seemed to solidify, transforming into a point of sharpness at his fingertip.

"I didn't expect that merely comprehending the Dao of Water and Fire Fusion to the Perfection Realm would consume two chaos true crystals."

"Let's test the power."

Li Jiangchen flicked his fingertip, and a hundred-zhang azure stone stele appeared before him, covered in numerous marks like claw marks, sword marks, and spear imprints.

It emitted the residual aura left behind by many powerful experts.

"The heavenly azure mark-leaving stele requires at least the combat power of a Sixth Heaven Lord level expert to leave a mark upon it.

This is perfect for a test."

Li Jiangchen held the demon slaying sword. The Water and Fire Fusion Profound Truth gathered on the demon slaying sword, instantly coating the blade with a layer of red and blue Mysterious Light, faintly causing the Void Realm to tremble.

"Go!"

A sword was unleashed. The red and blue light swept forth, bursting onto the heavenly azure mark-leaving stele. The intense Sword Intent seemed capable of piercing the entire world, causing the surrounding space to wrinkle and birth cracks.

Three breaths later, the Sword Qi dissipated, and a white mark about a foot long appeared on the heavenly azure mark-leaving stele, containing faint fluctuations of Sword Intent.

"Barely Sixth Heaven combat power, huh..."

Li Jiangchen estimated internally. Immediately, his Divine Soul merged with the heaven and earth, and the World Origin empowered him. His aura surged significantly, faintly touching a certain boundary.

"Slash!"

Water and Fire Ruthlessness erupted once more. The boundless sharpness instantly tore apart a large section of space, transforming into a red and blue Sword Qi that violently struck the previous mark.

Clang—

Sparks flew everywhere, and a nine-foot-long scratch appeared, emanating intense Sword Intent.

"A nine-foot mark, only one foot short of the Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm level..."

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Li Jiangchen's mouth.

This meant that his combat power had reached the Peak Sixth Heaven tier.

If he were to venture alone into the World Portal Passage now, even if he couldn't defeat the foreign race Lord of the White Bone Realm, he would absolutely not be killed.

"The foreign race of the White Bone Realm will certainly think that my Profound Truth Realm has not yet broken through the third heaven. I should use this time to quickly gather manpower. Then, I'll give them a big surprise..."

"I still have one chaos true crystal left, which I can use to comprehend the Dao of Space-Time Fusion."

Soon, a layer of hazy Mysterious Light appeared on Li Jiangchen's body. Space-Time Profound Truths surrounded him, as if he were in another space entirely.

At this moment.

The Human Realm Portal Passage.

Two incomparably powerful auras swept into the war fortress.

"Heh heh, Brother Mysterious Bone, you're being selfish. You discovered a Minor Thousand Worlds ages ago and kept it hidden for thousands of years.

What, are you afraid I'll snatch your Opportunity?" A withered, yellow-toothed old man exuding an ominous aura laughed.

His name was Shibone, a Lord with Peak Sixth Heaven cultivation.

"Exactly! If Six-Arms hadn't died, I doubt a few of us would even get a whiff of this place."

A fragrant breeze swept over, transforming into a graceful, mature beautiful woman who exuded a powdery scent. She was clearly Madam Hongfen, a Sixth Heaven Lord.

Mysterious Bone smiled faintly but did not reply, his gaze fixed on the distance, seemingly anticipating something.

Suddenly, a powerful aura, like a cold, venomous snake, struck. The Void Realm seemed to freeze, instantly changing the expressions of both Madam Hongfen and Old Demon Shibone.

"Old Demon Che!"
