90: Undying even after countless calamities

The Immortality Sword Body was indeed a remnant piece of the Immortal Sword Body.

Li Jiangchen immediately sat cross-legged, and the Demon on the panel rapidly decreased.

[Year One: You comprehended the method for establishing the Immortality Sword Body. Due to the enhancement of the Immortal Sword Body, you quickly grasped its profound mysteries, knowing that the Immortality Sword Body was derived from the concept of Ten Thousand Calamities and Immortality.]

[Year Two: You began to sense the concept of Ten Thousand Calamities and Immortality.]

[Year Three: Continued sensing.]

[...Year Ten: On this day, you felt a flash of Spiritual Sense cross your mind, and the concept of Ten Thousand Calamities and Immortality that had troubled you was instantly grasped.

The Immortality Sword Body was successfully established.]

At the same time, the newly established Immortality Sword Body began to undergo Fusion with the previous Immortal Sword Body. Li Jiangchen only felt his body rapidly transforming, faintly giving off a precious radiance.

Dozens of breaths later.

He opened his eyes, a joyful expression on his face, and looked at the panel.

[Immortal Sword Body (Saint Body): Established by three hundred and twenty-five Meridians.]

One Immortality Sword Body directly increased the Immortal Sword Body by thirty-four Meridians.

Only thirty-five more were needed to reach the final Great Perfection Saint Body.

"One remnant piece of the Immortal Sword Body is established by roughly sixty-five Meridians, and all of them are different from the previous ones.

Judging by this, only one last remnant piece of the Immortal Sword Body is needed to establish the Great Perfection Saint Body.

Only the last one is missing..."

At the same time, a brand new Divine Ability light cluster appeared in Li Jiangchen's mind. As his consciousness seeped in, information immediately surged forth.

[Body of Ten Thousand Calamities and Immortality: First-Rank Divine Ability, tempering the body with swords, enduring ten thousand calamities without destruction.]

"Another First-Rank Divine Ability, and it's a Body Refining Cultivation type."

"Tempering the body with swords—another slow, grinding method of Cultivation."

"In that case, excellent."

Li Jiangchen smiled slightly.

The one thing he never lacked was time.

Immediately, the Demon began to burn.

[Year One: You used Sword Qi to temper your body and condense the Body of Ten Thousand Calamities and Immortality. Your physical strength slightly increased.]

[Year Two: You continued to use Sword Qi to temper your body, and your physical strength continued to increase.]

[...Year Three Hundred: You felt that your physical strength had faintly reached a certain boundary, and Breakthrough was only a single thought away.

Boom—

Your Body Refining achieved a Breakthrough.]

Li Jiangchen opened his eyes, feeling his body undergoing a drastic transformation. Bones, flesh, skin, hair... it was as if the basic particles making them up were rearranging themselves, turning into a more resilient existence.

At the same time, an armored figure appeared within the Meat Pill inside his body, vaguely resembling Li Jiangchen.

"I never thought Body Refining would be the first to Breakthrough to the Grandmaster level."

Body Refining Grandmasters were extremely rare.

Ordinary Spiritual Artifacts could be shattered with a single hand.

Because the strength of a Body Refining physique was comparable to a Spiritual Artifact.

Beside him, Wu Yan's beautiful eyes fluttered. She felt that Li Jiangchen's aura was becoming increasingly profound and unfathomable.

Was this the mark of a Genius?

To Breakthrough in the span of a breath.

Sure enough, she still had a long way to go on the path of martial arts.

Wu Yan secretly encouraged herself, vowing that after returning to the Great Shang Dynasty, she would not venture out again until she achieved a Breakthrough to the God Observation Realm.

At the same time, movement faintly echoed from the cave passage. Large numbers of Red Eye were returning, and the aura of Shan Cheng quickly departed from their senses.

"That old dog, seeing the situation turn bad, sure ran fast."

Li Jiangchen's Spiritual Sense swept out, and the scene inside the cave immediately appeared in his mind.

Red Eye corpses were scattered everywhere, and the walls bore traces of flame scorching and marks left behind after the fight.

At this moment, the Red-Eyed Great Demon King's body was covered in injuries, especially its scarlet single eye, where a wisp of Saber Intent still lingered, having nearly sliced the entire eye in half. Blood resembling magma flowed from the single eye, dripping onto the ground.

Suddenly, a figure abruptly appeared behind the Red-Eyed Great Demon King, startling it, causing it to turn its head.

Puchi! A hand shot out, violently stabbing into the scarlet single eye. Hot blood splattered everywhere, and a crimson Demon Core was forcibly pulled out by Li Jiangchen.

Instantly, the Red-Eyed Great Demon King's aura rapidly vanished, and it collapsed onto the ground.

[Slayed Red-Eyed Great Demon King *1. Obtained Peerless Grade Dao Technique: Crimson Evil Eye Technique.]

"It's actually a Peerless Grade Dao Technique specializing in attacking the Divine Soul, quite rare..." Li Jiangchen smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the cave, causing the Red Eye tribe members to tremble with fear.

Their own Great Demon King leader was actually killed by the person before them in a single move.

In an instant, countless Red Eye frantically fled outward.

"I nearly exhausted my Demon cultivating the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation earlier. I'll use you all to replenish it."

The Demon Nation expanded, black fog permeated the area, and under the power of the Domain, one Red Eye after another burst open. The Demon on the panel once again surged to over fifty thousand years.

At the same time, the Demon Nation emitted a sucking force, and Red Eye demon souls were born from the Demon Nation, turning into citizens of the Demon Nation.

Especially... "Greetings... Master." The Red-Eyed Great Demon King transmitted a thought of submission.

"Very good, this item is your reward."

Li Jiangchen tossed the crimson Demon Core, and the Red-Eyed Great Demon King swallowed it in one gulp, returning the item to its original owner.

This scene made the Demon Flood Dragon King beside him envious.

His Demon Core had been forcibly detonated during that escape, causing a severe drop in his strength.

"No rush. You follow the Shadow Lineage. If I encounter a suitable Demon Core in the future, I will naturally bestow it upon you," Li Jiangchen said.

"Thank you, Master." The Demon Flood Dragon King expressed his deep gratitude. Suddenly, he shifted his massive Dragon eyes and said, "Master, my Divine Ability senses that the Grandmaster is still lingering around the volcano rim and has not left."

"Hmm? Still unwilling to give up? It seems he plans to wait for me to leave and ambush me.

Heh heh. Now that my Body Refining has achieved a Breakthrough to Grandmaster, and with the Red-Eyed Great Demon King assisting, it's two against one. Plus, that person is injured, so he is no longer my opponent.

However, I still need to strengthen my foundation further."

Li Jiangchen looked toward the depths of the cave.

According to the map records, there are still quite a few Great Demon King level existences inside.

It's the perfect opportunity to slay them one by one, absorb them into the Demon Nation, and turn them all into my foundation.

At this moment.

By the volcano rim, beneath a large boulder, Shan Cheng's sternum was collapsed, his left arm was gone, and the nine dragons leaving fire cover had completely lost its Spiritual Sense.

Most critically, his Soul Sea was shaking, and a trace of a fissure had already appeared.

If he didn't repair it with a soul-nourishing spiritual item, his Dao path in this life would be cut short.

"Damn it, there was actually another Great Demon King in this cave."

Recalling the fight just now, Shan Cheng felt lingering fear.

The red light emitted by the Red-Eyed Great Demon King's single eye was completely different from the ordinary Red Eye he had killed before.

It turned out to be a Divine Soul attacking Divine Ability.

If the nine dragons leaving fire cover hadn't possessed the ability to protect the mind, the fissure in his Soul Sea wouldn't be the only issue right now.

And the culprit who caused him to fall to this state... "You little beast, there are tens of thousands of caves, and there is definitely more than one Great Demon King inside. You will have to run out sooner or later.

I will wait here to catch you like a turtle in a jar, and see how long you can remain arrogant."

Saying this, Shan Cheng took out a compass. The pointer on it kept trembling, indicating that the target was moving continuously and quickly.

"Hmph, even I suffered such a fate facing that Yao Beast, let alone you... Run, just run. If you don't die, I will absolutely not leave this place. Haha."

Shan Cheng looked like a madman.

As a Grandmaster, he was forced into this state by a mere Quenching Fiend Realm practitioner. If this thought was not resolved, how could he speak of the saint dao?

On the other side.

Deep inside the cave.

Watching the Fire Crow King crash heavily to the ground, Wu Yan was dumbstruck.

A Great Demon King Yao Beast was killed just like that.
