67: The Demon Kingdom's Transformation, First-Rank Divine Power

“Five Peerless Grade Dao methods fused can give birth to a First Grade Divine Ability…”

A glint of light flashed in Li Jiangchen’s eyes.

Currently, enemies are growing stronger, and the Demon Kingdom in the Palm, as a Peerless Grade Dao method, is gradually falling behind.

However, if it is upgraded to a First Grade Divine Ability, its utility would be much greater.

“I still lack four Peerless Grade Dao methods. Moreover, their attributes must be compatible with the Demon Kingdom in the Palm to be fused.”

Li Jiangchen’s gaze searched the panel.

The countless Demons he had just slain, besides providing Demon cultivation, naturally provided no shortage of Dao methods.

However, most of them were Low Grade or Medium Grade Dao methods.

After a few breaths, his gaze settled on four Medium Grade Dao methods.

Great Dream Illusory Domain.

Blood Spirit Soul Devouring Light.

Hundred Souls Melting Furnace.

Annihilating Death Soul Slash.

Among them, the Great Dream Illusory Domain was a rare Domain-type Dao method, while the latter three were Divine Soul-related Dao methods.

They respectively controlled the means of devouring souls, melting souls, and killing enemies with souls.

All four were compatible with the Demon Kingdom in the Palm.

However, whether they could be successfully fused still needed to be tested.

Four Medium Grade Dao methods, to be upgraded to Peerless Grade, would require sixteen Demon Essence Qi.

Soon, one hundred sixty thousand Demon cultivation was consumed, and essence qi orbs floated out, rapidly merging into his Soul Sea.

Immediately, the four Medium Grade Dao methods rapidly expanded, pushing other Dao methods aside, their luminous edges touching and gradually merging, completely surrounding the Demon Kingdom in the Palm at the center.

After a few breaths, the Demon Kingdom in the Palm swallowed the newly born Peerless Grade Dao methods. In an instant, it exuded a trace of Divine Ability aura.

【Demon Kingdom in the Palm: First Grade Divine Ability, capable of subduing all demon souls in the world, refining souls, and fusing demon souls.】

Li Jiangchen comprehended the mysteries brought by the Divine Ability light cluster.

Immediately, with a thought, Fenghu in the Demon Kingdom trembled, suddenly opening its giant mouth to inhale, and all hundred remnant souls of Great Demons were swallowed clean.

Fenghu’s body vibrated, and terrifying Demon skull totems appeared on its surface, its aura surging upwards, suddenly breaking through that barrier.

Demon Lord!

“A hundred remnant souls of Great Demons can create a Demon Lord. I wonder how many demon souls it takes to give birth to a Demon King.”

No sooner said than done.

The next moment, Fenghu began to swallow again, massive amounts of demon souls swept into its mouth like candy, and without needing to chew, they transformed into pure Soul Power under the power of the Demon Kingdom Divine Ability, rapidly digesting.

Visibly, Fenghu’s aura surged upwards.

Middle Stage Demon Lord, Late Stage, Peak… finally, boom—

An incomparably powerful aura permeated the air.

Demon King!

At this moment, Fenghu’s remnant soul, having swallowed a massive amount of Demons, had long become unrecognizable; nine heads grew on its neck, tearing at each other, with hooves, wings, and a scorpion tail, its body bloated and covered with tumors.

Just one glance would cause one’s sanity, health, and mana to plummet.

This scene made the nearby Clam Demon River God and Willow Tree Demon tremble with fear.

“It took consuming all Demon Lord remnant souls and half the number of demon souls in the Demon Kingdom to create such a Demon King soul? It also seems to have fused into a peculiar Divine Soul-type Divine Ability.”

“However, the remaining demon souls are not enough to create another Demon King.”

Li Jiangchen glanced at the Willow Tree Demon.

“Master.” The Willow Tree Demon prostrated itself on the ground, its body trembling.

“I've nurtured you for so long, and you still haven't broken through to Demon Lord. What a waste.” The next moment, Li Jiangchen flicked his finger, and streams of wood-attribute demon souls exploded, transforming into a ball of pure spiritual light that drilled into the Willow Tree Demon’s body, instantly expanding its body like a round balloon.

After a few breaths, the Willow Tree Demon’s body extended verdant dragon claws, its horns sharp and imposing, actually transforming into a wood dragon, and its aura also rose to the Demon Lord level.

Unlike Fenghu’s indiscriminate gorging, Li Jiangchen had carefully selected demon souls that were similar in aura to the Willow Tree Demon.

Therefore, its appearance was not as bizarre as Fenghu’s.

“Thank you, Master.” The Willow Tree Demon expressed its boundless gratitude.

“Has the Wood Nurturing Method changed?” Li Jiangchen asked.

“Replying to Master, as this subordinate broke through to Demon Lord, the Wood Nurturing Method has been upgraded to a High Grade Dao method.”

“Good. Within three days, nurture the demon slaying sword to break through to a High Grade Magical Artifact, otherwise, this lord will not hesitate to feed you to other demon souls.”

Immediately, the newly Breakthrough Willow Tree Demon trembled, quickly rooted its tail, and exhaled Yimu Essence Qi. The demon slaying sword within its abdomen glowed brightly, vibrating continuously, already nearing High Grade Magical Artifact.

This scene made the Clam Demon River God’s eyes turn red with envy.

“Don’t worry, if I accumulate another batch of demon souls in the future, I, your Master, will help you break through to the Demon King level.”

In Li Jiangchen’s eyes, the Clam Demon and Willow Tree Demon were special types of demon souls; their combat power was not prominent, but they mastered Artifact Refining methods.

If they broke through to Demon King, and their Dao methods transformed into Divine Abilities, they might truly be able to refine Spiritual Swords.

“Thank you, Master.” The Clam Demon kowtowed.

With three thousand years of Demon cultivation remaining, Li Jiangchen simply condensed three Demon Essence Qi to upgrade the Spirit Descending Sword Flood Dragon Transformation to a Peerless Grade Dao method.

At this point, only four thousand years of Demon cultivation remained.

“Demon cultivation is indeed not enough. However, I estimate there are still some Demon remnants in Suspended Mountain, so I need to kill them quickly and refine Suspended Mountain along the way.”

A few breaths later.

Void Realm.

Li Jiangchen flew to Yue Tuyao and the others, cupping his fists and saying, “We must eradicate evil completely. This Junior still needs to go to Suspended Mountain to slay Demons.”

Just as he was about to leave, Yue Tuyao quickly said, “Your merits this time are not small, and the imperial court will have many rewards. Is there anything you wish to exchange for?”

Li Jiangchen stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, “Then exchange it all for Body Refining Cultivation Technique, and send it to the Giant Spirit Divine General Manor in Taizhou.”

After speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from sight.

“Body Refining Cultivation Technique?” Yue Tuyao slapped his forehead.

Saving Qingzhou this time and slaying multiple Demon Kings, this immense merit, if entirely exchanged for Body Refining Cultivation Technique, the Secret Manuals would likely pile up to fill ten streets.

“Giant Spirit Divine General Manor… Could it be that he is a descendant of the Giant Spirit Divine General lineage?” Yan Shisan, who was beside them, asked in confusion.

Yue Tuyao and Old General Chen, however, did not take it to heart; they had already investigated Li Jiangchen’s past and naturally knew his relationship with the Giant Spirit Divine General Manor.

“The Giant Spirit Divine General Manor has profound blessings to produce such a talent. However, it seems the current Giant Spirit Candidate is not him.” Old General Chen sighed.

“Don’t worry, with Li Jiangchen’s current strength, as long as the clan elders of the Giant Spirit Divine General Manor aren’t blind, they will surely cry and beg him to become the next Giant Spirit Divine General.”

On the other side, Li Jiangchen no longer concealed himself. The Five Elements power circulated, and a divine light appeared under his feet. His escape속 broke through the air, reaching extreme speed.

In just a few hours, he arrived above Suspended Mountain.

At this moment, the Magnetic Force in Suspended Mountain was chaotic, and fleeing Demons could still vaguely be seen.

“Go.”

Five primordial magnetic ore hearts shot out, like sharp swords, sweeping into the Void Realm.

At the same time, the ten thousand spirits umbrella floated in the Void Realm, showering down clear light, subtly connecting with the five Suspended Mountains.

Li Jiangchen’s Divine Soul subtly connected with the five Suspended Mountains, and the previously violent Magnetic Force gradually calmed down.

He opened his palm, and a cluster of Magnetic Force appeared in his palm, transforming into five miniature mountain Peaks.

“These five Suspended Mountains, having endured countless years, can barely be considered a Spiritual Artifact embryo.

If completely refined and the Magnetic Force contained within them is controlled, their power would be even more terrifying than a Spiritual Artifact.

My current cultivation is insufficient, so I can only barely refine a trace. But it’s enough to kill the Demons hidden within the five mountains.”

Whoosh—

He clenched his palm, and the previously calmed Magnetic Force instantly erupted. An invisible force swept through like ripples, and the Demons hidden in various parts of Suspended Mountain uniformly trembled, curled into a ball, and then exploded.

At this moment, the Demon cultivation on the panel, which had been nearly depleted, once again surged.

【Demon Cultivation: Remaining 23,600 years.】
