Xu Jingming and Wu Qi were having their meal by the restaurant window.
âThe dishes here are really not bad.â Xu Jingming ate happily and drank another cup of wine, feeling delighted.
Wu Qi ate the meat and smiled at his young master. He felt happy from the bottom of his heart seeing his ward eating happily.
Uncle Qi has always been with Chen Qiâs mother and then with me. Xu Jingming had interacted with Wu Qi for more than ten years after all. In these ten years, he hadnât spent as much time with his wife and daughter as he had with Wu Qi.
I never expected to spend so much time with another person in the virtual world. Itâs a rarely earned fate, he thought as he poured more wine and continued drinking.
âYoung Master, are you done?â Wu Qi asked. âDo you want more food?â
âIâm done,â Xu Jingming said. After mastering a divine body, it was fine if he didnât eat or drink. But if he wanted to eat? He could finish ten cows.
He mainly ate and drank to satisfy his penchant for food.
Wu Qi immediately sped up and finished some of the dishes before wiping his mouth and getting up. âIâll get the bill.â
Xu Jingming also got up.
Having traveled all over the world for so many years, Uncle Qi was always the one handling the trivial matters. Xu Jingming couldnât even stop him.
âŠ
That night, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated the Dawn Star Divine Body technique. This was the core divine power he had created after combining many Demon Vanquishing techniques over the past decade.
As he loved spearmanship to the core, he created many secret techniques and spent the most effort on the divine body. He even named them after the literal meaning of his daughterâs name, Lixing. Of course, because they were all in the process of being created, Xu Jingming didnât promote his techniques.
My Light Raysâ Visualization has reached the sixth level, allowing me to visualize a clearer and vaster Primordial Star. My Dawn Star Divine Body⊠can also be further perfected.
As Xu Jingming cultivated, the runes hidden in his divine body became more complicated. His body emitted a faint glow, and when countless runes combined, Xu Jingmingâs body was like the Primordial Star.
Yes, the so-called Dawn Star Divine Body was to transform oneself into the Primordial Star! If his visualization could reach a higher level, the Dawn Star Divine Body could also replicate it to a deeper level.
Seconds and minutes passed.
His organs, bones, muscles, skin, hair⊠New runes condensed everywhere. Four hours later, many new runes condensed into a new perfect whole.
My Dawn Star Divine Body has been further perfected. Xu Jingming was delighted.
Suddenlyâ
Xu Jingming sensed something and opened his eyes. Runes swirled in his pupils as he looked through the roof and saw an extremely hot sun hanging high in the night sky.
Even at night, the sun remained deep in the cosmos.
At this moment, the sun resonated with Xu Jingmingâs divine body. A beam of light flew out from the depths of the sun and instantly tore through the void to appear in the room where Xu Jingming was.
Xu Jingming opened his eyes and saw that this beam of light was suffused with soul-stirring colorful light. It floated into the room and illuminated it.
This beam of light lunged forward and fused into his body.
This is the Force of the world? This wisp of light fused into his body, nourishing the Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers in his body, as well as his Dawn Star Divine Body. His body and Dharmic powers began to evolve.
According to the Primordial Research Instituteâs database, the Demon Vanquishing World was built by the Cosmic Human Alliance at a huge price. The so-called laws of the world are actually evolved from many Paramount legacies, Xu Jingming thought.
The more compatible one is with the laws of the world, the greater the might of their spells and divine powers. And when one reaches a certain realm, they will resonate with the world and be bestowed with the worldâs Force, Xu Jingming thought. As for me, I just received a wisp of the sunâs Force.
There are countless divine powers in the Demon Vanquishing World. Only by resonating with the world and being bestowed with the worldâs Force can I be qualified to call it⊠a great divine power. Xu Jingming had mixed emotions. I never expected to create a great divine power myself.
In fact, many geniuses in the Primordial Research Instituteâs history had created great divine powersâsuch as Gu Shan. However, those who reached the level of a great divine power usually drew on a large amount of Paramount legacy content.
For example, after Xu Jingmingâs visualization broke through, he almost replicated the visualization of Light Raysâ Visualization into his Dawn Star Divine Body.
If Xu Jingming wanted to spread the technique in the future, he had to simplify it and ensure that the Primordial Research Instituteâs Paramount legacies werenât leaked. Of course, it wasnât a problem for him to use it himself.
This feelingâŠÂ Xu Jingming could sense that after being nourished by the Force of the world, his Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers had become much purer and stronger. The Dawn Star Divine Body had also improved in every aspect!
If I fight Heaven Demon Yu Xin one-on-one again, I believe I can defeat him in five moves.
For example, Senior Brother Gu Shan, Senior Sister Moyu, and some top geniuses in history had grasped a few great divine powers when they were ninth-realm Demon Vanquishers. They had strength that could be considered the pinnacle of the Demon Vanquishing World.
Only now did Xu Jingming gradually reveal the might of a peerless genius from the Primordial Research Institute.
Those selected by the Primordial Research Institute and groomed with the Paramount legacies naturally far exceeded their peers in the Demon Vanquishing World.
âŠ
A cyan-shirted man walked on the street. He looked at the buildings on the street and the people on the street, sensing their emotions.
âDad, I want some sweets.â
âAlright, Iâll buy it for you later.â
âDad, I want some too.â
âEveryone will get one!â
A couple was carrying a child each. The two children were in high spirits, but the couple couldnât hide the fatigue on their faces.
âDonât spoil these two children too much,â the woman whispered. âWe still have to buy rice tomorrow. We donât have much money left.â
âItâs fine. A few sweets wonât cost much,â the man said with a gentle smile. âWe have to be happy in life. Itâs already tough for the kids to be born to us.â
The woman sighed softly and nodded.
The couple gradually walked away.
The cyan-shirted man watched this scene as if he saw the past.
If my wife were still alive, she would also be this loving with me, the cyan-shirted man thought as he watched. If my two children were still alive, they would probably be older than these two children. They would also like good food, right?
The cyan-shirted manâs eyes were filled with reminiscence. He recalled those beautiful memories every day.
UnfortunatelyâŠÂ The cyan-shirted man murmured, âItâs all gone.â
He walked step by step through the crowd and unknowingly entered a residence.
Figures immediately appeared in the courtyard and bowed respectfully to him. Many of them had fanatical eyes.
âSupremacy.â
âSupremacy.â
These figures were extremely respectful; all of them were Heaven Demons.
The cyan-shirted figure walked to the pool and sat down casually. He said calmly, âHave you found out the identity of that mysterious person?â
âNo,â a female Heaven Demon answered respectfully. âWeâve tried our best, but we can only confirm⊠that the mysterious personâs strength exceeds that of an ordinary ninth-realm Demon Vanquisher. As for who he is and where he comes from, our investigations come up with nothing.â
âOnly those ninth-realm experts in the Scarlet Cloud State know the identity of that mysterious person. Our investigations were futile.â
âSupremacy, why donât we temporarily retreat from the state capital?â
The Heaven Demons were waiting for the Supremacyâs decision.
The Supremacy had already exceeded the level of ordinary Heaven Demons and was unfathomable.
âWhy should we retreat?â the cyan-shirted figure asked. âIf we want to build a nation ruled by Heaven Demons, the difficulties and obstacles we encounter will be a thousand times greater than what we are facing. What can we achieve if we are afraid of mere obstructions in the Scarlet Cloud State?â
âYes.â All the Heaven Demons listened obediently.
âSince our investigations come up with nothing, thereâs no need to continue.â The cyan-shirted figureâs eyes were cold. âOur plans have already been in place across the state capital; itâs time we reel in the net.â
âWhat about that mysterious person?â a Heaven Demon asked.
âThe gathering of the top Heaven Demons in the seven states canât overturn Scarlet Cloud State City?â the cyan-shirted man said coldly. âAccording to Plan B, the Heaven Demons in the seven states will be divided into seven teams according to their respective areas and attack seven places at the same time! No matter how powerful that mysterious person is⊠he can only provide reinforcements to one area.â
âGo back and report to your leaders,â the cyan-shirted man instructed. âIâll send a message to them the night before the operation.â
âYes!â
âYes!â
Six Heaven Demons immediately bowed respectfully and quickly left.
The cyan-shirted man stared at the fish in the pool without any emotion in his eyes. This is Scarlet Cloud State Cityâs first battle! Nobody can stop me.
Ever since he broke through that barrier and received a gift from the heavens, he became invincible.
âSupremacy.â A Heaven Demon stepped forward and whispered, âWhich area are us Heaven Demons from the Scarlet Cloud State attacking in the operation?â
âDidnât you say that the mysterious person attacked when Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming fought the Heaven Demon?â the cyan-shirted man said. âThe mysterious person might have some relationship with Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming. Letâs deal with Wu Ming and lure the Demon Vanquishers overâespecially that mysterious person. I want to see how strong the Demon Vanquishers are in this world.â
âYes,â the Heaven Demon replied obediently and left.
The cyan-shirted man stayed by the pool alone for a long time before saying softly, âWu Ming, Wu Ming, youâre a very good Demon Vanquisher. Youâve done many things for ordinary people, but my mother, my wife, and children⊠were implicated by you! I knowâI canât blame you. I havenât sought revenge on you all these years.â
âHowever, all Demon Vanquishers are obstacles when establishing a country ruled by Heaven Demons! Demons and Demon Vanquishers are natural enemies.â The cyan-shirted manâs eyes were cold. âSince all the Demon Vanquishers need to be killed, let me send you off personally. It can be considered as settling our grudge!â
The former Li Jinge killed all demons and Demon Vanquishers without mercy. He believed that a world without demons and Demon Vanquishers was the best world, but he quickly came to a realization. He understood the power to unite demons!
After all, as a Heaven Demon, it was impossible for him to gain the trust of a large number of Demon Vanquishers.
As he grew, he also became stronger, and his obsession became more complete until he broke through that barrier and reached his current realm. The only thing he couldnât let go of now was his longing for his mother, wife, and children.
Their death anniversary is in a few days. Iâll make a move on that day, the cyan-shirted man thought to himself.
âŠ
The night before the operation, all the Heaven Demon factions hiding in Scarlet Cloud State City received the order to take action. They would trigger seven battlefields in the state capital, and the battlefield stirred up by Heaven Demon Supremacy Li Jinge was centered around Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming.
