"You dare attack me?"

The Demon Ox's eyes instantly filled with surging rage. To think that this Junhao before him dared to attack him? He had already revealed his identity; in this new era, the Demon Ox Clan was simply not something the Dragon Clan could compare to.

*Boom!*

But what greeted this Demon Ox was not Junhao's nonsense, but a slap. A terrifying force shattered the space directly, and in the next instant, the palm fell.

"Not good!"

The Demon Ox's eyes were instantly filled with terror.

Too strong.

As Junhao's slap fell, an aura of death directly enveloped him. His cultivation at the First Layer of the Great Emperor Realm seemed to offer no resistance at all before Junhao.

Junhao's strength...

...was terrifying!

Turning around.

The Demon Ox wanted to flee.

"Humph!"

"Do you think you can run?"

Junhao sneered. The palm force fell, directly tearing the Demon Ox's body apart. As the Power of the Dao circulated, the Divine Dao power on the Demon Ox's body was instantly obliterated.

His Primordial Spirit...

...was also torn apart by Junhao!

"Congratulations to the Host for killing a First Layer Great Emperor. The Host has gained 300 quadrillion evolution points!"

The System's voice rang out.

On Junhao's evolution panel, the evolution points had increased slightly, but they were still quite far from the amount needed for the next evolution. After reaching Ancient Emperor, every evolution Junhao needed required 1,000 quadrillion evolution points!

Just about.

Kill a few more...

...and I'll be able to evolve!

Although he couldn't reach the Ancestor Realm in a short time, relying on evolution points to reach the Peak Great Emperor was still possible. Junhao's current cultivation was Seventh Layer Ancient Emperor, only a little bit away from Peak Ancient Emperor.

After reaching the Peak Great Emperor...

...Junhao needed to further condense his Will and temper his physique.

To receive the baptism of the power of heaven and earth!

*Buzz! Buzz!*

The dust settled, and the Demon Ox's aura was completely wiped out by Junhao. At this moment, unless it was a Peak Ancestor Realm Expert, no trace of the Demon Ox's presence could be found.

"What a pity, too few!"

Junhao thought to himself.

A bit too few!

If a few more Great Emperor experts came, his cultivation could quickly reach the Peak Great Emperor.

"Let's go."

Junhao continued deeper.

On this Demon Ox's body...

...there weren't many treasures.

Not even an Emperor Weapon.

This was normal.

For the Demon Race, they were not good at Artifact Refining. Some Ancestor Realm Yao Ancestor experts basically used their mind to temper a part of their own body. After reaching a certain level...

...they could nurture an artifact spirit.

...thereby reaching the level of an Emperor Weapon...

...or even a Spirit Treasure.

A moment later.

Junhao's figure vanished. But not long after he disappeared, three Demon Oxen appeared. Their auras were even stronger, with the strongest reaching the Peak Great Emperor.

The weakest...

...was at the Fifth Layer of the Great Emperor Realm!

"Old Ninth is dead!"

The leading Demon Ox said in a low voice. After they entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains with the Demon Ox Ancestor, they split into many groups. Their nine brothers were in one group.

Just now...

...Old Ninth's aura completely dissipated.

Furthermore...

...they also lost their connection to Old Ninth, which meant he was likely dead.

"In these Hundred Thousand Mountains, besides various Yao tribes coming to temper their bodies, no experts ever enter. When our Demon Ox Clan came in, the Old Ancestor had already released his aura. Even if Yao experts came in, they would know our Old Ancestor is in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Who would dare kill someone from our Demon Ox Clan?"

One Demon Ox said coldly.

"Hehe... no matter who it is, since they killed Old Ninth, they must die!"

"Exactly!"

...Strands of killing intent ran wild.

Deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

"I've finally encountered a Great Emperor level Ferocious Beast!"

Junhao's eyes narrowed slightly. Opposite him, a purple rat stared fiercely at him. It was a Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat, a type of Ferocious Beast, and an Archaic Vicious Beast at that.

In the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

This Ferocious Beast likely came out of some Secret Realms during the world Fusion. When Junhao previously came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he hadn't sensed any Ferocious Beasts beyond the God Emperor level; otherwise, he would have harvested them long ago.

"Eat you..."

A trace of ruthlessness rose in the Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat's eyes. Ferocious Beasts' intelligence was naturally not high. Seeing Junhao now, who carried the bloodline aura of the Star Ancestral Dragon and had a powerful physical blood-qi...

...to this Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat...

...there was only one thought in its mind: to eat Junhao.

Eating Junhao...

...would bring great benefits!

*Buzz! Buzz!*

The moment the Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat moved, ripples appeared in space. In the next instant, the Purple-Gold Rat's figure vanished, and simultaneously, a purple rat crashed in from behind Junhao.

"A space Divine Ability?"

"Not bad!"

Junhao's eyes narrowed slightly as he reached back to grab. In the next moment, a furry little fellow was caught by him, but the moment he caught it, a sharp edge came from his hand.

Space was torn open.

It landed on Junhao's palm.

At the same time...

...the Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat vanished!

It was the space attack Divine Ability, Space Blade. Besides that, it had used a space Divine Ability again to flee!

"Pity, too weak!"

The corner of Junhao's mouth curled up. This Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat's methods were indeed terrifying, worthy of being a Ferocious Beast left over from the Archaic Era. Although its cultivation was only at the Fifth Layer of the Great Emperor Realm, even an Ancestor Realm Expert might not necessarily be able to kill it!

But unfortunately...

...it met me!

If you want to escape from my hands, reach the Ancestor Realm first!

"Die!"

*Puchi!*

Junhao struck again with a claw, shattering the space. A rat was dragged out, and once it was out, the Power of the Dao surged within Junhao's body, directly crushing the Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat in his hand.

"Congratulations to the Host for killing a Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat. The Host has gained 300 quadrillion evolution points!"

The System's voice rang out.

In Junhao's hand, the Heavenly Demon Purple-Gold Rat had completely disappeared. And because it was a Ferocious Beast, its Primordial Spirit had not fused with the Power of the Dao, making it very easy for Junhao to obliterate its Primordial Spirit.

"Continuing on!"

Junhao continued deeper.

Time...

...passed slowly.

A week later.

Junhao stood before a palace. At this moment, an incomparably vast Law of Strength weighed down on Junhao. This Law was terrifying; even if a Peak Ancestor Realm Expert were here...

...they wouldn't be able to exert even thirty percent of their power!

Unless...

...they were a practitioner of the Law of Strength!

"As expected of the Ancestral Shaman Palace. The Law of Strength here suppresses me by seventy percent. Among the Law powers in my body, only the Law of Strength can be used; the other Laws are almost all suppressed!"

Junhao thought to himself.

This place...

...is indeed very dangerous!

Under these circumstances, Junhao's combat strength would also be significantly reduced. Of course, if Junhao manifested his Star Ancestral Dragon body, then even if an Ancestor Realm Expert were here, they wouldn't necessarily be Junhao's match!

In fact...

...Junhao might even have a slight advantage!
