The Demon Emperor’s eyes lit up: “So that’s it! He’s finished!”

Their demon cultivators were actually quite skilled at soul attacks!

At first, when the Demon Emperor saw the Thunder Law manifest, he instinctively dared not use soul attacks, since thunder naturally suppresses the soul.

But it was clear that the Thunder Spirit Giant clan was not good at soul attack or defense, despite the Thunder Law’s natural suppression of soul attacks.

The demon cultivators immediately changed their battle tactics. Countless soul attacks and divine sense strikes surged toward the Thunder Spirit Giant Elder.

The Thunder Spirit Giant Elder’s expression changed drastically. The soul entity within the Thunder Source Core immediately began showing signs of damage.

“Damn it! Our Thunder Spirit Giant clan’s soul weakness has been discovered! Curse it! Once I break through to the Immortal Realm, where soul and immortal body merge, this weakness will disappear. I’m only one step away from immortality!”

The Thunder Spirit Giant Elder was furious.

But the battle situation did not change according to his will.

He began to fall into disadvantage.

The violent thunder attacks tore huge fissures in the earth, but the demon cultivators stayed far away, launching soul attacks from a distance!

This made the Thunder Spirit Giant Elder roar angrily again and again.

He charged off to escape, but twenty-eight demon cultivators relentlessly pursued him!

“If you dare keep chasing me, I’ll annihilate your entire realm’s people!”

The Thunder Spirit Giant Elder roared.

But the demon cultivators still did not respond.

The Thunder Spirit Giant Elder was enraged. He crossed the distance and arrived at another city.

The city’s defense formation was already activated, but under a single strike from the Thunder Spirit Giant’s hammer, the city and its people were reduced to ruins. A large number of demon cultivators perished!

The Demon Lords’ faces darkened like water, but they continued to unleash soul attacks.

Every time the Thunder Spirit Giant tried to counterattack, the Demon Emperor stepped forward, using his demonic blade to block the giant’s strikes.

With the other Demon Lords restraining him, the Thunder Spirit Giant could not inflict any substantial damage on them.

The Thunder Spirit Giant roared fiercely again and again. His speed was faster than theirs, but they could chase him through various teleportation arrays. Looking around, he was surrounded by enemies everywhere!

In this way, the Thunder Spirit Giant Elder destroyed one hundred eighty cities in succession. Finally, in front of the one hundred eighty-first city, he was severely wounded by the demon cultivators!

Within his Thunder Source Core, his soul entity was already shattered beyond repair, and destruction was imminent!

But the damage he inflicted on the demon clan was also considerable. Hundreds of billions of demons died beneath his hammer, including a large number of demon cultivators. His contribution was enough for Su Yuan to remember.

The twenty-eight demon cultivators still maintained a safe distance, continuously releasing soul attacks.

They did not dare approach until the Thunder Spirit Giant Elder’s soul aura completely dissipated.

Su Yuan watched the entire scene from nearby.

Seeing that they did not move forward, he felt their extreme caution.

He looked at the Mind Echo where the consciousness had already vanished and confirmed that the Thunder Spirit Giant Elder had perished!

His mind immediately stirred with activity.

The Big Dipper suddenly shone brightly, enveloping the Thunder Spirit Giant Elder’s corpse.

The demon cultivators’ expressions changed.

Under their watchful eyes, the aura-faded Thunder Spirit Giant Elder instantly disappeared without a trace.

The Demon Emperor stared blankly at the vanished giant, his grip on the demonic blade relaxing involuntarily.

He glanced at the surrounding Demon Lords;

each of them looked exhausted and badly wounded, but fortunately, all were still alive.

He looked up nervously at the Big Dipper.

However, the starlight gradually dimmed and did not change further.

Whoosh!

The exhalations of the demons stirred up waves of dust.

“Demon Emperor, withdraw those orders!” a Demon Lord said.

The Demon Emperor clenched his demonic blade, glanced at the ruined city, and finally sighed heavily: “Understood, return! Rebuild the Demon City!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One figure after another instantly vanished, returning to handle follow-up affairs.

Su Yuan’s consciousness, however, remained.

On the system panel, his fame value was skyrocketing at an astonishing speed!

Su Yuan was shocked. Just now, after breaking through 1e fame, he actually advanced further to reach the Supreme of One Realm fame level!

“The Black Demon Realm’s ceiling is higher than the Tianyuan Realm’s!”

Su Yuan immediately realized this!

This obviously meant he had the chance to obtain a ninth entry!

And this entry, if nothing unexpected happened, might be the last. After reaching Supreme of One Realm, could there be a higher level?

“Not necessarily!” Su Yuan pondered briefly and decided not to dwell on it.

His fame in the Black Demon Realm continued to surge rapidly.

The fame value quickly soared to 5e points, only halfway to 10e. But the speed of increase then began to slow.

Obviously, the well-informed demons already knew about Su Yuan’s matter!

But the Black Demon Realm’s territory was much larger than the Green Vine Continent of the Tianyuan Realm. For other beings to learn about this, time was still needed to brew.

However, Su Yuan estimated that reaching 10e fame without intervention would be difficult in the short term, possibly requiring decades!

This was easy to understand: those at higher stages basically already knew. Further spread would only reach some lower-level cultivators.

And many lower-level beings might never learn what happened before. Ordinary demons might know a great battle occurred, but not why or what the outcome was.

Such a catastrophe—hundreds of cities destroyed, hundreds of billions of lives lost—would obviously not be publicized by the Demon Emperor, who would instead deliberately block information spread.

Of course, if Su Yuan summoned another Thunder Spirit Giant Elder, this process would accelerate countless times. But he guessed that the place was already on alert, making it hard to move a Thunder Spirit Giant away as easily as this time. It would be difficult to lock onto a moving object for relocation.

“There will be opportunities later!”

Su Yuan’s consciousness returned to his body.

Above Cave #6.

Suddenly, a gigantic Thunder Giant corpse appeared out of thin air!

This giant was enormous, over nine hundred meters tall, like a small mountain!

It immediately startled all the cultivators in the sect.

“It’s nothing, just a corpse!”

Su Yuan’s voice spread out, calming those rushing toward his cave.

Several Nascent Soul elders looked at each other;

they had lost count of how many times they had overreacted to Su Yuan’s antics recently—his deeds kept escalating!

Su Yuan moved his mind and stored the corpse inside the Floating Light Pot.

He followed and entered, gazing at the mountain-sized Thunder Spirit Giant, marveling: “What a huge body!”

He stepped forward, but the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron on him suddenly darted out, trembling as it retreated.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yuan asked in surprise.

“Didn’t you feel it? A terrifying murderous aura is rushing over! I simply can’t get close!” Old Qian said.

Even Xiao Li, who had transformed a physical form, could not approach.

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow;

with Great Being’s Demeanor, he truly felt no pressure at all.

But when he stood before the corpse, he hesitated, scratching his head: “How should I make use of this?”

He struck the corpse with all his might. With a clear clang, the sound echoed out.

But the Thunder Spirit Giant Elder’s corpse surface showed not the slightest damage.

Su Yuan pulled a corner of his mouth: “Over twenty eighth-rank attacks and no damage. I seem even weaker… This is too tough!”

Suddenly, Su Yuan heard a cracking sound.

He looked over and saw Xiao Cai Su Si had broken free from evolution within the Silver Spirit Waterfall!

Her body glowed with the six-colored radiance of the Nine-Colored Celestial Fish as she happily flew out.

“I broke through! I broke through! I’m fourth rank now!” Xiao Cai joyfully flew around for a while, then noticed Su Yuan, Su Li, and Su Qian watching her.

Xiao Cai blew bubbles and shyly said, “Why are you all staring at me?”

Su Qian asked suspiciously, “Don’t you feel anything unusual?”

“What?” Xiao Cai was puzzled.

Su Yuan cleared his throat and said, “Turn around and look!”

Xiao Cai turned her body, and then saw an ice-blue wall.

She flew a little higher and saw a huge ice-blue giant.

She jumped in fright, exclaiming, “What is this?”

“A corpse!” Su Yuan said. “Higher rank! Didn’t you sense any murderous aura or pressure?”

“No!”

Xiao Cai shook her head, then her eyes brightened: “A corpse? Meat? Can I eat it?”

Su Yuan was stunned and hesitated: “This isn’t meat, it’s stone… I don’t know what it is either.”

“I’ll try eating it!” Xiao Cai immediately said.

She flew to the giant’s finger and bit down hard.

Crunch.

The ninth-rank stone was actually bitten!

Xiao Cai chewed twice and swallowed it.

Su Yuan’s eyes went wide!

“Wow, Xiao Cai, your teeth are that strong?”

Xiao Cai’s body glowed brightly with six-colored light.

As Xiao Cai’s master, Su Yuan sensed a new spatial dimension seemingly formed inside her. The ice-blue stones entered this space and began slowly dissolving. The speed was slow, but this was the “flesh and blood” of a ninth-rank Thunder Spirit Giant. Xiao Cai could really swallow and digest it!

Thus, under Su Yuan’s watchful eyes, Xiao Cai bit into the giant’s fingers one by one.

The ten-meter-long palm gradually disappeared into her belly under her consumption.

At one moment, Xiao Cai frowned and spat out a piece of stone from her mouth, complaining: “This isn’t flesh and blood! Can’t eat it!”

Su Yuan scanned with his divine sense and his eyes brightened immediately: “This is a Thunder Spirit Giant’s storage device!”

He joyfully took it and began to refine it with his divine sense.

However, he quickly found that the refining speed was slow;

the core restrictions on this storage device were difficult to dissolve.

But since it was ownerless, refining was only a matter of time!

After Xiao Cai had eaten half the hand, she sighed and said, “I’m going to sleep again!”

Xiao Cai wagged her tail and returned to the bottom of the Silver Spirit Lake to continue sleeping.

Meanwhile, Su Yuan saw the Thunder Spirit Giant’s hand, half-devoured, automatically regenerating, soon returning to its original form.

Su Yuan sensed strands of magical power spontaneously forming inside him. Confirming it was not an illusion, he looked at the Thunder Spirit Giant corpse with new eyes—this was an endless food source! Fortunately, he didn’t have to eat it;

Xiao Cai could.

“Huh, I broke through in cultivation?” Su Yuan was surprised to discover that, aided by Xiao Cai’s six-colored energy feedback, his cultivation had silently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. The abundant positive thunder energy easily transformed his Nascent Soul into a Nascent Spirit.
