The First Sage of Military Strategists

Tan Yuanming also followed suit, saying, "Ma Meng is right. Young Master Han is a benevolent man and would never kill innocent people indiscriminately. There have been many misunderstandings before. I hope that Young Master Han will be magnanimous and not hold it against us. When I return to the capital this time, I will do my best to persuade my father to lead the Tan family to follow in your footsteps. In today's world, dragons and tigers fight fiercely and heroes emerge in great numbers, but I believe that only you can succeed."

“Indeed, Young Master Han is the true leader of humanitarian reform. It’s a pity I was blind to his talent back then.” Zhao Yueqiu’s face showed regret as she spoke.

"We are willing to follow you, sir!" The other ancient cultivators who had escaped from the Ancient Void Domain also shouted loudly.

Han Qing's gaze swept back and forth between the three men. He didn't take Ma Meng and the others' words to heart at all. These scions of aristocratic families were skilled in social etiquette from a young age, and their pretense was superb. Such people were not to be trusted. He either had to kill them, intimidate them with force, or have something on them. Otherwise, even if they submitted temporarily, they would rebel in the future if he was not careful.

However, it would be a real pity to kill so many top experts. Although these people are of no help to me now, they are still human geniuses. If they could survive, perhaps the martial artists of the world would have more paths to choose from.

Moreover, Han Qing is not a bloodthirsty person. He has the Nightmare Demon in the Ancient Void Domain, so he no longer needs to kill people to accumulate soul points.

With this in mind, Han Qing waved his hand, activating the Boundless Monument. Its dark light flashed, and it suddenly pulled all the surrounding martial artists into the space inside the Boundless Monument.

With this, there were no more hidden dangers in the valley, and Han Qing's gaze fell on the Taiji Thunder Pool.

He flew down and swept his magical thoughts across the land. He saw that there were intricate array patterns on the eight stone pillars, which were over ten feet high. It was indeed an extremely complex magic array.

Now that Lei Wanlong has fled, the magic array has fallen silent as it no longer has an actual controller.

Han Qing could sense that the Nine Extremes Thunder Pool contained a breathtaking power. He wanted to destroy it, but felt it would be too much of a waste.

So, after a moment's thought, he decided to ask Elder Ming for his opinion.

"Elder Ming, is it possible to refine this Nine Extremes Thunder Pool?"

"Master, I'll give it a try!"

The Boundless Monument immediately released a jet-black light, which enveloped the Nine Extremes Thunder Pool in concentric circles and layers.

But after a while, the mysterious light dissipated, and the Nine Extremes Thunder Pool remained unchanged.

"Master, this item is somewhere between a magic weapon and a magic array, making it difficult to refine. However, I can guide and release the lightning power contained within it, which can cause massive damage to a certain enemy in an instant. But this method can only be used once!" The voice of Elder Ming echoed in Han Qing's mind.

"Once is enough, Elder Ming. Immediately guide and release this thunderous power. I want you to annihilate the Gluttonous Demon!" Han Qing was worried about how to deal with the Gluttonous Demon, and the Nine Extremes Thunder Pool provided him with a solution. Regardless of whether it would work or not, he would give it a try.

"Okay, master!"

The Boundless Monument released its mysterious light once again, enveloping the Nine Extremes Thunder Pool. Han Qing flipped his palm, and the Primordial Ancient Seal flew out from it, hovering above the Nine Extremes Thunder Pool.

Suddenly, the silver lightning liquid in the Nine Extremes Thunder Pool surged up, and at a certain moment, a dazzling lightning pillar shot into the sky, striking the Primordial Ancient Seal directly above.

At the same time, Han Qing activated the ancient seal, opening the entrance to its inner space. A golden vortex appeared below the ancient seal, and the dazzling lightning pillar slammed straight into the golden vortex.

At this moment, the space inside the ancient seal was still a vast expanse of white, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The Gluttonous Demon sat cross-legged in a corner, his eyes slightly closed, his body motionless, a routine he had maintained for tens of thousands of years.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and he saw a golden vortex above him—the entrance had been opened. But this entrance was for entry only, not exit, so he didn't do anything, only wondering who would be sent in.

The next instant, with a loud crack, a dazzling pillar of silver lightning suddenly descended from the golden vortex, striking the Gluttonous Demon below at an extremely fast speed.

The Gluttonous Demon tried to dodge, but suddenly heavy golden chains appeared on his body, binding him completely in place. This was the suppression of the Primordial Ancient Seal, which made him unable to move.

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Gluttonous Demon. His massive maw opened wide, transforming into a dark vortex, as if to swallow the silver lightning pillar whole.

However, the destructive power of the beam of light far exceeded his expectations. When the silver light entered his abdomen and his mouth was tightly closed, a series of drumming sounds suddenly came from his abdomen. His body sometimes expanded and sometimes contracted. At a certain moment, it suddenly exploded, scattering blood rain all over the sky. His aura plummeted. Although he was not completely dead, he was no longer comparable to his prime.

At this moment, Han Qing appeared above and suddenly thrust his spear down, pouring a tremendous force into the body of the Gluttonous Demon.

He had been preparing this shot for a long time, gathering the power of the three supreme treasures, and almost using all his strength. In just an instant, it pierced through the Gluttonous Demon's broken body.

"No!"

The Gluttonous Demon let out a roar of resentment, its body completely exploding and turning into billowing demonic energy that drifted across the space. Within the demonic energy, Han Qing saw a cursed seal that emitted a pale golden light.

He leaped forward, reached out and grabbed the cursed seal, which melted instantly like an ice block, turning into wisps of coolness that spread through his arm and into his body.

Han Qing closed his eyes slightly, and a large amount of information immediately appeared in his mind. This was the supreme inheritance that everyone was pursuing, which was said to contain the path to the second realm of Rainbow Transformation.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, having fully received the inheritance. However, it contained a vast amount of information, which he had to slowly digest upon returning.

His gaze slowly moved down to the black mist that permeated the area below, where wisps of mist were slowly converging and coalescing.

Han Qing threw a punch, scattering a portion of the condensed black mist, but it quickly gathered back together.

"It is said that these seven Heavenly Demons are beings born from the Heavenly Dao, immortal and indestructible. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Perhaps in another hundred or thousand years, these wisps of black mist will reassemble into the Gluttonous Heavenly Demon."

Han Qing's mind raced with thoughts, and without lingering, he took another step and disappeared into the space within the Boundless Monument.

outside world.

The Nine Extremes Thunder Pool has completely dried up, and the lightning that had surged within it has completely dissipated.

Han Qing thrust his spear repeatedly, igniting all eight stone pillars and completely destroying Lei Wanlong's possibility of rebuilding Leichi.

Having done all this, Han Qing did not linger. He suddenly soared into the air and vanished without a trace.

Half a day later, several figures descended from the sky; it was Lei Wanlong and his group.

When Lei Wanlong saw that the Nine Extreme Thunder Pool had been completely reduced to ruins, his face turned utterly grim.

"I never imagined this brat would master and refine the Primordial Ancient Seal so quickly. The Nine Extreme Thunder Pool is destroyed, and my Xuanlei Sect's plan to conquer this realm is on hold. This Han Qing truly deserves to die!" Lei Wanlong gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound, his heart churning with anger. (End of Chapter)
