65: Why not let Li send the three on their way, so they can keep each other company on the road to the underworld?

The main damage, of course, came from Old General Chen's spear.

Li Jiangchen exploited a loophole; while the Golden Scale Demon King still had a breath left, he preemptively slew it, which was indeed recognized by the panel.

Earth Vein Golden Scale Armor: A third-grade Divine Ability that draws upon the power of the earth veins to form protective scales.

"A third-grade defensive Divine Ability, no wonder that tortoise shell was so hard to break."

"But now, it belongs to me."

Li Jiangchen smiled slightly, and the ten thousand spirits umbrella glowed with clear light, falling onto the remains. Immediately, a fist-sized demon core tried to escape at high speed.

A miniature Golden Scale Demon King's demon soul flashed on the demon core.

Unfortunately, the ten thousand spirits umbrella is most effective against such souls. Before long, the Golden Scale Demon King let out a wail and merged into the umbrella's surface, transforming into a painting of a giant golden-scaled beast moving a mountain.

With a suction from his palm, a fist-sized silver-white primordial magnetic ore heart was pulled from the remains into his hand.

Feeling the waves of primordial magnetic profound evil emanating from within the ore heart, a look of joy appeared on Li Jiangchen's face.

Previously, the primordial magnetic profound evil contained in one primordial magnetic ore heart was enough to refine about seventy of his Meridians.

Only by obtaining the remaining four primordial magnetic ore hearts could he thoroughly refine all his Meridians.

Now, he still needed three more.

Looking at the demon core floating in the Void Realm, a peculiar glint appeared in Li Jiangchen's eyes.

Demon cores are the essence of demons, invaluable for refining Spirit Medicine and serving as the core of Spiritual Artifact Formations.

However, just like Human Race God Observation Realm Martial Artists, only upon Breakthrough to the second stage, Embracing the Core, do they condense a Golden Core within their bodies.

Only demon beasts comparable to the second stage of Embracing the Core will condense a demon core within their bodies.

"Old General, you contributed the most to slaying the Golden Scale Demon King. This Junior dares not covet this demon core."

Li Jiangchen flicked his finger, and the demon core floated towards Old General Chen, but after traveling only a dozen zhang, it seemed to hit an invisible wall of Qi and was fixed in place.

"Little friend This Li, thanks to your help this time, otherwise, whether this old man's bones would still be alive is an unknown." Old General Chen waved his hand, saying, "Take this demon core."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Jiangchen's reaction, Old General Chen disregarded his injuries and turned to rush into other demon king battlefields.

"Old Master Chen..." A complex feeling arose in Li Jiangchen's heart.

The hundreds of years of peace in Qingzhou were sustained by pillars of the Human Race like Old Master Chen.

Otherwise, vast as the Nine Provinces of the world may be, the Human Race would likely have long become blood food for demons.

At this moment, seeing the Golden Scale Demon King's aura suddenly disappear, the remaining three Great Demon Kings were all utterly terrified.

"Golden Scale, he was actually killed!" The Scorpion Tail Demon King's face was filled with disbelief.

"Damn it, didn't we even release the Storm Eagle King from Dao Feng Cliff in advance? How could this happen!"

"Sword Domain aura, it's that Aperture Opening Realm Human Race!" The Red Blood Demon King's long feelers flickered, and a trace of Sword Qi was drawn into its mouth, causing its pupils to suddenly contract.

"Escape!"

Seeing that the situation was dire, the three Great Demon Kings immediately burned their essence blood, and their figures retreated rapidly.

At this moment, only three Demon Kings remained, while the Human Race had five God Observation Realm combatants. The balance of power had already undergone a drastic change.

"Heh heh, want to run? It's not that easy." Yan Shisan, who had been frustrated for a long time, sneered, took out a Vajra Bracelet from his Huai, and threw it into the Void Realm. It immediately expanded against the wind, turning into a giant golden ring, and a Restriction power enveloped them.

Normally, this amount of Restriction power would be nothing to a Demon King.

But now, it slowed the three of them down, and they were quickly caught up to.

"Give me all three primordial magnetic ore hearts, or we'll all die." The Scorpion Tail Demon King looked frantic.

Mountain Lord and the Red Blood Demon King exchanged glances, hardened their hearts, and each threw out their hidden primordial magnetic ore hearts.

Among the Suspended Mountain Demon Kings, the Scorpion Tail Demon King was skilled in Formations and possessed a half-Spiritual Artifact, the Three Star Plate, which could simulate the primordial magnetic Restrictions of Suspended Mountain.

Previously, the four Great Demon Kings each harbored their own schemes, and with their superior strength, they believed they could conquer Qingzhou even without relying on Formations.

Now, however, the situation was completely reversed.

Three silver lights fell onto the Star Plate, immediately glowing brightly. A mysterious Magnetic Force emanated from the Star Plate, rapidly spreading and instantly shaking off the Vajra Bracelet that had been restricting them.

The Three Star Plate floated into the Void Realm, and the silver Magnetic Force it emitted formed a Protective Aura shield, firmly enveloping the God Observation Realm Martial Artists who were pursuing them.

Crack—

A crack appeared on the Three Star Plate.

Forcibly activating the primordial magnetic Restriction Formation with a half-Spiritual Artifact had pushed it to its limit.

"Hurry, the Three Star Plate won't last long."

The three Great Demon Kings exchanged glances, then turned and fled.

"Damn it. Not only is Golden Scale dead this time, but we also lost our primordial magnetic ore hearts." Mountain Lord Demon King said unwillingly.

"Once this King escapes, I will definitely spread the news of the Human Race giving birth to a Saint-level Genius across the world. Let the Yao Race from all regions unite to destroy the Great Shang Dynasty."

"This debt, my Suspended Mountain will never forget."

Suddenly, a clear breeze swept out, and a figure abruptly appeared in front of the three Great Demon Kings.

"It's you!" The Red Blood Demon King's eyes were splitting with rage.

"The Golden Scale Demon King is dead, and I imagine he misses you all greatly on the Yellow Springs Road. Why don't I send the three of you on your way to keep him company?"

Amidst his laughter, waves of Divine Ability auras spread wildly.

Under the activation of Dharma Body Manifestation, Li Jiangchen's body transformed into a thirty-meter giant.

The Earth Vein Golden Scale Armor was activated, swiftly covering his body, making him appear like a majestic golden-armored giant.

The Immortal Sword Domain, fused with the Heavy Water Profound Domain of the heavy water bead, created a Domain force field that pressed down like Mount Tai, filling the three Great Demon Kings with despair.

Just then, a verdant ancient umbrella floated above Li Jiangchen's head, radiating clear light, and several auras, very familiar to the three Great Demon Kings, swept out.

"Golden Scale... and that Storm Bird..."

"The aura of this King's Clone."

"How is this possible? Isn't this item Spirit Lord Gu Rong's treasure? How did it fall into your hands?

What exactly happened back then?"

The three Great Demon Kings were utterly shocked.

Back then, they had thought that the ancient demon had escaped and become the biggest winner, and that the Human Race before them had merely clung to their lives.

But who could have imagined that Spirit Lord Gu Rong's ten thousand spirits umbrella would fall into the hands of this person?

This was no ordinary Spiritual Artifact.

After thousands of years of refining by the Great Compassion Tree King, it had now absorbed three remnant souls of Demon King level.

Even if the demon souls' power was only thirty percent of their original strength, the Golden Scale Demon King was a second-tier Embracing the Core Demon King. In a one-on-one fight, the Golden Scale demon soul could directly contend with a first-tier Demon King.

The three Great Demon King souls swept out, gaining strength under the enhancement of the Immortal Sword Domain, their power surging. Even without Li Jiangchen's direct intervention, they subtly gained the upper hand.

"Then I'll kill you first."

Li Jiangchen's gaze fixed on the Scorpion Tail Demon King.

This demon was skilled in Formations. If he were killed first, the unguarded Three Star Plate would quickly be breached by Old Master Chen and the others.

At that point, their side would have an even greater advantage.

Boom—

The wind in the Void Realm surged, transforming into a giant fist that shot out. At this moment, the Scorpion Tail Demon King narrowly avoided the Storm Eagle King's wind blades but did not notice the fist shadow attacking from behind. A powerful punch struck its purple-black armor, instantly shattering it and spilling demon blood across the Void Realm.

The Scorpion Tail Demon King's aura plummeted.

Li Jiangchen's body flickered, turning into a green line. The One Line Thousand Li Divine Ability erupted, and his figure abruptly appeared behind the Scorpion Tail Demon King.

"Die!"

The Scorpion Tail Demon King reacted, its long tail stinger turning pitch black and thrusting fiercely.

Clang—

Sparks flew, blocked by Li Jiangchen's palm, not even piercing the Earth Vein Golden Scale Armor covering his body.

"How is this possible!" Despair surged in the Scorpion Tail Demon King's heart.

"An offensive Divine Ability with only this much power, its grade must not be high..." Li Jiangchen shook his head.

The next moment, he transformed his palm into a claw, and immense power erupted. With a tearing sound, a long scorpion tail was ripped off.

Immediately after, a continuous barrage of fierce punches rained down, transforming into countless afterimages that fell upon the Scorpion Tail Demon King like rain.

Ten breaths later.

A prompt came from the panel.

"Killed Scorpion Tail Demon King *1, obtained fifth-grade Divine Ability 'Extremely Poisonous Scorpion Tail Stinger'."
