Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

"It's been half a month since the last extermination of the Demon Lord. There's a high probability that a new Demon Lord has emerged within the Black Mist," Tular suggested. "We can set off again to exterminate the Demon Lord within the Black Mist."

"Let's wait two more days." Su Mu pointed to the sleeping gold in the courtyard and explained slowly, "It's about to awaken and break through. It's not too late for us to set off after it wakes up."

"Okay." Tulaer and Song Qingmei had no objections, nodded in agreement, and turned to leave to wait.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Just one day later, Jinzi, who had been asleep for many days, suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

At the same moment, Su Mu heard a system notification.

[Congratulations, host! Your demon beast offspring 'Gold' has successfully advanced to the late-stage level eight flying beast. The system reward has been sent to your inventory. Please check it yourself.]

As expected, he jumped two levels, breaking through directly from the early stage of level eight to the late stage of level eight!

Su Mu personally fed the gold, and at the same time opened the system warehouse to check the rewards, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The rewards for this breakthrough are extremely generous, including not only divine-grade treasures but also an additional mid-grade divine-grade supreme treasure!

Mid-grade Divine Rank - Immobilization Talisman!

This divine talisman is incredibly powerful. Even a late-stage Great God Realm expert would be instantly immobilized and unable to move if hit by it. It can even have a temporary immobilization effect on experts who have just entered the Heavenly God Realm.

It can be described as a top-tier trump card, capable of imprisoning powerful enemies and delivering a decisive victory on offense, and of escaping and saving one's life on defense, avoiding a deadly situation. It is extremely practical!

Besides the immobilization talisman, there are two other low-grade divine-level rewards.

Firstly, a low-grade divine clone talisman!

The previous Heaven-rank top-grade clone talisman could not replicate Su Mu's complete combat power, but this God-rank clone talisman can create a clone with 100% of Su Mu's combat power, which is completely equivalent to the original body!

Secondly, the ten Origin Spirit Awakening Pills are of the same origin as the previously awarded pills and can help the divine embryo transform into a god, making them extremely precious.

The remaining massive Heavenly Rank rewards offer limited assistance to Su Mu at present, and can be used entirely to cultivate his adopted sons and daughters and strengthen his own power.

After tallying all the rewards, Su Mu transferred a few drops of his Overlord Body essence blood to Jin Zi to consolidate his breakthrough cultivation. Then, he soared into the air and used his divine sense to contact the two Star Palace True Gods.

"Fellow Daoists, depart immediately and venture into the black mist to wipe out the demonic race!"

Upon receiving Su Mu's telepathic message, Tulaer and Song Qingmei, who were in the restaurant, immediately flew out and met up in the sky above the imperial city.

The three said no more, transformed into three streaks of light, and once again headed towards the vast mountain range shrouded in black mist, stepping into the boundless black fog.

The birthplace of the new Demon Lord was completely unpredictable, so the three of them could only repeat the same method as before and patiently search the entire black mist territory.

Time flies, and another half month has passed in the blink of an eye. It's already early November.

The three traversed the vast mountain ranges of the northwestern frontier, and finally, on a boundless plateau, they locked onto the aura of the newly born Ghost Commander.

This plateau has a rugged terrain, with towering mountains and undulating peaks, and its overall terrain far surpasses that of the rest of the Cangmang Mountain range.

Ten thousand years ago, before the Ghost Clan descended upon Tianyuan Star, this plateau was once occupied by a powerful barbarian tribe with a profound heritage. Generations of them produced True God Realm experts, dominating the region.

This newly born demonic leader resides atop the most majestic, towering snow-capped mountain on the plateau.

The ultimate battle has suddenly erupted!

This newly born Ghost Commander is far less powerful than the previous one and cannot unleash the Unsolvable Devouring God Divine Power, but it still possesses formidable combat strength comparable to a mid-stage True God. It can also release four mist shadow clones, and its combat power should not be underestimated.

The surrounding area of ​​the towering snow-capped mountain was filled with countless powerful members of the quasi-god realm of the Ghost Clan, densely packed and occupying all directions.

The three powerful figures engaged in a full-scale battle, and the terrifying aftershocks of their combat power swept across the entire snow-capped mountain, causing the mountain to shake, the ice to crack, and triggering a massive avalanche.

Thick snow rolled down from the towering mountain peak, its roar shaking the wilderness, concealing the murderous intent from all directions, and also completely exposing a secret that had been sealed for thousands of years atop the snow-capped mountain.

A towering ancient ice palace, hundreds of feet high, has suddenly appeared in the world!

The entire ice palace is carved from millennia-old ice. The palace is covered with dense, intricate, and obscure ancient divine patterns, with a faint divine glow flowing around it. It exudes a heavy and ancient aura, clearly indicating that it is no ordinary ancient site.

Upon discovering the anomaly, the three simultaneously intensified their attacks, becoming increasingly fierce.

In an instant, all four clones of the Ghost Clan were killed, and all the Quasi-God Realm Ghost Clan members around were completely wiped out. In the battlefield, only the upright Ghost Commander in the form of a yak remained.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the strange leader decisively turned around, leaped into the mysterious ice palace, and sought refuge there.

"I have consulted ancient historical records of Tianyuan Star, and this great snow mountain is the true ancestral sacred mountain of the barbarian tribes!"

Su Mu raised his eyes to look at the Ice Palace and reminded the two in a deep voice, "Ten thousand years ago, the Ghost Clan invaded, and this plateau was occupied by black mist. The barbarian people were forced to migrate and choose a new place to establish the Ancestral God Mountain. As time passed, the barbarian people of later generations have long forgotten this true Ancestral God Mountain. This place hides the mysteries of heaven and earth. This Ice Palace is dangerous and unpredictable. We must not be careless."

The Ice Palace doors were wide open, completely unobstructed, except for a hazy, shimmering light curtain that separated the inside from the outside. Divine sense could not penetrate it, and outside eyes could not see what was inside.

However, the fact that the Demon Commander could easily pass through the light barrier proves that the light barrier had no obstructive power and that he could freely enter and exit.

"Since we can come and go freely, let's just destroy this palace by force and eliminate any future trouble!"

Turael, with his impatient nature, raised his hand and swung his spiked club, channeling divine power into the treasure, and smashed it fiercely against the top of the Ice Palace!

boom--!

A deafening roar echoed across the snow-capped mountain peak, and terrifying divine power struck the ice palace. However, the entire ice palace only trembled slightly for a moment before the divine runes on its body instantly lit up with brilliant divine light, steadily withstanding this fierce attack without sustaining any damage.

"It's quite hard!"

Turael, looking unwilling and defiant, swung his spiked club repeatedly, frantically bombarding the Ice Palace.

Bang bang bang!

The continuous, deafening roars echoed through the mountains and fields, yet the Ice Palace remained increasingly stable. Subsequent bombardments struck without causing the palace to sway in the slightest, its entire body radiating divine light, firmly protecting the palace.

"There's no need to waste your energy," Song Qingmei advised at the right moment. "This hall is protected by divine runes, and brute force cannot destroy it. If you want to kill the Ghost Commander, the only way is to enter the hall and fight him."

"I will first send a clone into the palace to investigate and find out the details."

Su Mu raised his hand and took out a top-grade Heaven-rank clone talisman. He activated his spiritual power and instantly condensed a complete clone. He then controlled the clone to pass directly through the light barrier and enter the Ice Palace.

The moment the clone passed through the light barrier, the mental connection between Su Mu and the clone was abruptly severed, and they lost all contact, making it impossible for Su Mu to perceive anything inside the hall.

Tulaer and Song Qingmei exchanged a glance, both showing surprise.

High-grade clone talismans are extremely difficult to craft, and the higher the grade, the rarer they are. Su Mu's possession of a top-grade Heaven-rank clone talisman is enough to demonstrate his profound background.

Ten breaths later, the lost clone suddenly rushed out of the ice palace and returned to the outside world.

Everyone could clearly see that the clone's form was dim and its spiritual light was scattered, indicating that it had obviously suffered severe damage and was greatly depleted.
