"Brother Jiang, you've got a point. Once Elder Han's corpse is refined into a Blood Pill, let's save it to feed the dogs. Hehe." Ye Fan flashed a malicious grin.
"Let's go have some fun deep in the ruins," Jiang Xian said, looking at Ye Fan and Pang Bo.
"All right!" the two replied.
Soon, they reached the depths of the Primordial Ruins.
Pang Bo looked around and couldn't help grumbling under his breath. "Not a single blade of grass or tree can grow here. This is a barren wasteland where nothing lives-even birds won't land here. Either there's some great danger or some great opportunity."
"Oh! I didn't expect your instincts to be so sharp, Pang Bo. This used to be the Emperor's Court, where the Azure Emperor presided. As the years passed, after the Azure Emperor failed to transform it into an Immortal Domain, this place became his burial ground, the Qing Emperor's Tomb," Jiang Xian said with a smile.
Just as Jiang Xian finished speaking, corpses began falling from the sky in a steady stream. Watching them fall, Jiang Xian kept them away from the three of them. Before the corpses could approach, they had already turned to dust.
Black mist coiled through the ruins beneath the night sky. Not a blade of grass grew, and the entire land was so silent it made the heart tremble. Two eerie green lights slowly drifted out of the shadows of a ruined hall in the distance. They were the surviving remnant soul of the Nineteenth-generation Descendant of the Azure Emperor.
Soon, they saw two lurid green lights flying toward them from a short distance away.
"No way! Brother Jiang, there really are ghosts on Big Dipper!" Pang Bo cried out.
The two green lights spotted Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Jiang Xian walking side by side from afar. At first, their gaze was fixed on Ye Fan, whose physique was powerful and whose physical foundation was exceptional, intending to seize an opportunity to possess him. But after drifting forward a short distance, the remnant soul faintly sensed the unfathomable aura of essence within Jiang Xian. He stopped and circled in midair, weighing his options for a long while.
He considered how Jiang Xian's essence was vast and immeasurable. If he could possess such an extraordinarily gifted body, its potential would far exceed that of Ye Fan's or Pang Bo's, and his future achievements would increase countless times over. After some deliberation, the two green lights abandoned Ye Fan and Pang Bo, changed direction, and lunged straight toward Jiang Xian at tremendous speed, seeking to possess him.
Jiang Xian's gaze remained calm. This mere descendant of the Azure Emperor actually dared to consider possessing him. Watching the two green lights charge straight at him, he felt not the slightest ripple in his heart and naturally would not show mercy.
With a thought, he instantly activated his innate talent, [Execution]. An invisible, colorless slash emerged from the void and swept silently through the air.
There was only a faint hiss. The two green lights containing the soul of the Azure Emperor's descendant could not even let out a cry before they were instantly sliced apart and dissolved, dispersing into the coiling black mist and vanishing into nothingness.
Pang Bo had been tense, guarding against a sneak attack from the green lights. Seeing Jiang Xian casually deal with the two eerie lights, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to ask, "Brother Jiang, what were those two green lights? They were clearly staring at Ye Fan just now. Why did they suddenly turn toward you?"
Jiang Xian turned to look at Pang Bo and slowly explained the reason. "Those two green lights were the remnant soul of the Nineteenth-generation Descendant of the Azure Emperor. At first, he took a fancy to Ye Fan's powerful body and planned to possess him. But after getting closer, he noticed that my foundation was stronger. Greed got the better of him, and he decided to possess me instead. I hate this sort of thing most, so I simply killed the remnant soul."
"According to the original course of events, he first tried to possess Ye Fan but failed in the end. Eventually, he successfully possessed your body."
Pang Bo froze at those words and instinctively felt his own body, a wave of lingering fear washing over him. He did not particularly doubt what Jiang Xian said. After all, Brother Jiang could even resurrect people directly. What was foreseeing the future compared to that?
Jiang Xian added with a smile, "But after he possessed you, you would have obtained the Demon Emperor Scripture, and your cultivation would have soared. It could have been considered a blessing in disguise."
After hearing this, Pang Bo shook his head repeatedly, his expression resolute, without the slightest trace of envy.
"I don't care how great an opportunity it is! Having someone possess my body and turning into someone else's puppet makes my scalp crawl just thinking about it! I don't want anyone possessing me!"
"Haha, that's true. You might as well pass on that opportunity. The Demon Emperor Scripture isn't all that impressive anyway. Stick with Ye Fan and me, and you can become a Great Emperor without lifting a finger," Jiang Xian said, patting Pang Bo's shoulder.
"That sounds great! I'll be counting on you and Ye Fan to carry me, Brother Jiang!" Pang Bo said excitedly.
They soon left the area and discovered several great demons confronting the sect leader and supreme elders of Spirit Ruins Paradise in the distance.
Seeing this, Jiang Xian stepped forward first and shouted:
"You juniors, surrender the opportunity at once! I'll spare your lives."
The great demons and the people from Spirit Ruins Paradise quickly turned their attention to Jiang Xian. They could not sense his cultivation realm at all and thought he was merely bluffing.
The three-meter-tall giant bull demon, with hard horns growing from his head, immediately flared with rage. His deep, deafening roar rang throughout the ruins. "Where did a junior like you come from? You dare speak to us in that tone? You truly don't know your place!"
"Get lost already. I don't eat beef," Jiang Xian replied.
Before his words had faded, demonic energy surged around the burly bull demon, and the ground shook with a thunderous rumble. His enormous, thickly armored fist whipped up fierce winds as he charged straight at Jiang Xian, intending to crush this young man of unknown strength with a single punch.
Jiang Xian's expression did not change. He lightly gathered a strand of golden power at his fingertip and instantly unleashed White Emperor Golden Slash.
A dazzling, razor-sharp streak of golden light swept across the air, so fast that no one had time to react.
Riiip-
A piercing sound of tearing flesh erupted.
The bull demon's enormous body was cleaved neatly in half down the middle and slammed heavily onto the barren ground. His demonic energy dispersed, and his body rapidly expanded, revealing his true form: an ancient giant bull as massive as a mountain.
Jiang Xian lowered his eyes, glanced at the giant bull's corpse on the ground, and remarked casually, "Unfortunately, I'm very fond of beef now."
With that, Jiang Xian put the enormous bull corpse into the Chat Group Space rather than sending it to Fang Han. After all, ingredients this good were not available on Earth, and he wanted to savor it properly.
The armored demon nearby, whose arms were covered in scales, was so frightened that he instantly retreated several steps. Even his demonic energy trembled faintly, and he no longer dared show the slightest hint of defiance. The sect leader of Lingxu Cave Heaven and the supreme elders were even more dumbfounded, frozen in place, all thoughts of arguing utterly dispelled.
Seeing this, the great demons and the people from Spirit Ruins Paradise hurriedly replied, "You're right, Senior. An opportunity like this is beyond our reach. Please spare us, Senior."
Just as they finished speaking, thunderous rumbles shook the earth one after another. The entire volcano trembled violently, and a magnificent ancient hall shot into the sky from its depths. Blinding radiance filled the sky and earth, illuminating the entire barren ancient land as brightly as day. All the stars in the heavens lost their luster, while layers of five-colored divine radiance encircled the hall and immortal energy surged in great waves.
