Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

He took a step forward, leaving a charred footprint in the rock beneath his feet. His right claw, burning with flames and carrying the terrifying pressure of a peak eighth-order cultivator, went straight for Jiang Chuan's face.

"Hiding your head and cowering, not even daring to reveal your true form, I think you're clearly a spy sent by an enemy race!"

Despite Jiang Chuan having just swiftly defeated a peak eighth-tier lava monster, the fire demon commander before him showed no fear whatsoever.

This is because the Fire Demon Clan has become accustomed to running rampant and domineering in this region.

The Fire Demon Clan not only has five ancestors who have reached the Divine Realm, but also...

Behind it is the support of the Fierce Dragon Clan, one of the four major primordial blood races.

otherwise.

How do they manage to control such a massive business as the River of Molten Fire, which is practically a money-printing machine?!

Jiang Chuan frowned, his eyes flashing coldly. He had no intention of provoking the Fire Demon Clan.

But it's even less likely that they would easily hand over the treasure they've already obtained.

The Nine Luminaries Star Bow condensed in an instant.

A star falls.

call out! !

The silver-white arrow, trailing a long tail, suddenly magnified in the Fire Demon Clan captain's pupils.

It didn't even have time to react before the arrow pierced his chest.

boom!!

His entire body exploded from his chest, shattering into pieces of charred flesh and blood, mixed with dark red sparks that flew everywhere, splattering the dozen or so guards behind him all over.

The guards wielding flaming spears froze on the spot, their burning eyes swirling with unprecedented terror.

Their captain, a peak eighth-tier fire demon elite, was instantly killed in one strike.

There wasn't even a sliver of room for resistance!

"You...you dare to kill members of our Fire Demon Clan?!"

One of the guards cried out.

They've already killed them.

Why all this nonsense?

Jiang Chuan did not answer, but simply raised the Nine Luminaries Star Bow again, drew the bowstring taut, and the silvery-white starlight shone brightly once more.

Starfall.

Whoosh! !

A rain of silvery-white arrows suddenly burst forth in this underground space.

More than a dozen guards didn't even have time to turn around and escape before they were impaled on the ground by a dense rain of arrows.

From the moment he made his move until the entire Fire Demon Clan guard was wiped out.

It happened in just a few breaths.

Jiang Chuan put away the Nine Luminaries Star Bow, walked to the captain's corpse, and gently pressed his palm on the remains.

Extracting everything.

launch!

[Extraction successful! Strength +680!]

[Extraction successful! Talent acquired - Fire Spirit Body!]

[Fire Spirit Body: S-rank, one star, passive, greatly increases own fire resistance, reduces fire damage by 70%, and can restore 5% of maximum health per second in scorching environments]

An S-rank talent that increases fire resistance and provides additional healing effects.

not bad.

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

He stood up, his gaze sweeping over the now deserted riverbed, a sense of regret creeping into his heart.

This place is truly a wonderful place.

pity.

It means I won't be able to come anymore.

The Fire Demon Clan has several powerful beings who have ascended to godhood, and those are beings that he cannot currently confront head-on.

After this incident...

The Fire Demon Clan will definitely strengthen their oversight of this area.

Without the means to alter his appearance, it will be difficult for him to continue to muddle through.

"Since we've already started, let's go all the way this time!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

He moved swiftly, heading directly towards the Fire Demon Clan's stronghold.

The Fire Demon Clan's stronghold here is a dark red stone tower.

It was built directly above the entrance to the river channel.

He had observed this when he arrived: the molten fire coins collected by the fire demon guards from various races were mostly transferred to this place.

He fought his way through.

Dozens of charred, mangled corpses were left behind along the way.

Finally, standing before a stone door enveloped in layers of flame-based restrictions, Jiang Chuan raised his hand and placed it on the restrictions, causing silvery-white starlight to explode from his palm.

boom!!

The restriction shattered instantly.

Behind the door was a completely sealed warehouse with several rows of shelves, on which bags of Molten Coins were neatly stacked.

A quick glance.

It would have to be at least several hundred thousand!

Besides the cash, there were also dozens of fist-sized pieces of ore, all shimmering with a reddish-gold light, which were high-level materials for crafting equipment.

It's out!

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes, and he stepped forward and swept everything away.

He roughly counted the cash.

There are more than 800,000 in total.

Including other items, it could be worth around one million.

"This is probably just one day's income for this outpost..."

Jiang Chuan thought to himself.

A base.

One day's income is over a million Molten Coins.

The Fire Demon Clan controls more than a dozen rivers of molten fire within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

There are estimated to be no fewer than a hundred strongholds!

Just do a quick calculation to see how terrifying the annual profits are!

"pity."

Jiang Chuan murmured.

The Fire Demon Clan has been entrenched here for countless years, and the wealth they have accumulated is probably astronomical.

But he only looted one stronghold after all.

These regional outposts would hand over most of their revenue to headquarters every day.

I haven't had time to submit it yet today.

He snatched it away from us.

However, more than a million Molten Coins is already a windfall.

With the molten essence he refined today, he now has a huge sum of nearly four million molten coins!

Enough for him to gain a foothold in Molten Core!

Don't be greedy!

Jiang Chuan glanced one last time at the empty treasure vault, then turned and leaped out of the stone tower.

He did not leave through the main entrance.

Instead, he activated his spatial teleportation talent and returned directly to the city by setting spatial coordinates in advance within Molten City.

And not long after he disappeared.

A terrifying, suffocating pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the entire stronghold.

The clouds above the stronghold, which were dyed by the dark red sky, suddenly split open, and a fiery blade of light, a hundred feet long, cleaved down from the crack, flattening an entire hillside around the stronghold into flat land.

The flames died down.

A massive fire shadow, fifty feet tall, hovered in mid-air.

Its entire body was engulfed in eerie blue flames, and its charred skin was covered with dense, dark gold flame patterns. Its fiery eye sockets, which occupied most of its face, slowly rotated, sweeping over the ruins below.

Ascend to the Divine Realm, King of the Netherflame.

"Who did this?!"

Its sound, like rolling thunder, resounded across the plains, causing the surrounding rock formations to tremble.

Several remnants of the Fire Demon Clan who had crawled out of the ruins knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Reporting to Your Excellency! It was a mysterious alien race dressed in black robes! He... he killed the guards, stole the treasure vault, and ran away!"

"A black-robed alien race?"

The dark blue flames in the eye sockets of the Dark Flame King flickered fiercely.

It did not press further, but slowly raised its right arm, which was burning with flames, and loosely clenched its five fingers.

The bodies of several remaining soldiers exploded simultaneously, turning into several balls of ghostly blue flames that merged into its palm.

King Netherflame withdrew his hand, his gaze turning southwest, towards the direction of Molten Fire City: "No matter who you are, daring to steal my things, I will make you regret ever being born!"
