After successfully binding with the Willow God, Jiang Che finally put an end to the system binding matters.

Now that the five slots were fully used, with five workers who didn't demand a salary helping him, Jiang Che could entirely set aside the cultivation concerns.

In this situation, Jiang Che naturally shifted his attention to other matters.

Outside Peach Grove Valley.

Rumble~

Deafening thunder continuously resounded.

A gigantic crimson Thunder Ball was shooting across the sky, blazing intensely and emitting scorching high temperatures.

Boom!

The next moment, the crimson Thunder Ball suddenly collided with a towering ancient pine ahead, instantly exploding, with flames roaring fiercely, lighting up the sky, shattering the pine tree into pieces.

The terrifying flames swept across the area, turning that region into a sea of flames, seemingly burning everything and refusing to die out for a long time.

"The power of this Binghuo Divine Thunder is indeed strong. I've just gotten started, and with a casual strike, it already has such power."

Jiang Che looked at the sea of fire ahead, showing a hint of surprise on his face.

He roughly estimated that the power of the Binghuo Divine Thunder was twice as strong as the ordinary Divine Thunder he had unleashed before, and this was just in its initial stage.

If he completely mastered the Binghuo Divine Thunder, its power would likely increase significantly.

"Not bad, not bad. The Divine Secret Techniques taught by Nangong Luo are truly useful!"

Thinking of Nangong Luo, Jiang Che's lips slightly curled up, feeling quite satisfied.

Since Jiang Che returned from the Imperial Capital, he had been staying peacefully at Tiger King Ridge, studying the various Divine Secret Techniques taught by Nangong Luo.

According to Nangong Luo, although his cultivation realm was high, his combat methods were still not varied enough.

He often relied on pressure tactics and the power of Spirit Treasures. To improve combat power without a significant change in cultivation realm, one must focus on Divine Secret Techniques.

Sometimes, even when one's cultivation is lower than the enemy's, skillfully using Divine Secret Techniques can provide the possibility of turning the tables.

This Binghuo Divine Thunder was one of the Secret Techniques Nangong Luo taught him, and it was extremely compatible with the Thunder Dao Divine Techniques he shared with Nangong Luo.

Although they both had a natural thunder talent, able to control thunder seemingly innately, the thunder they conjured was too ordinary, lacking destructiveness against some enemies with strong physical bodies.

However, Binghuo Divine Thunder was different. Its power was much stronger than ordinary thunder.

Not only did it possess the destructive force of thunder, but it also had the heat and explosiveness of fire, elevating its power to another level under the combination of the two forces.

"I've just begun to learn it. I should practice diligently and strive to fully master the Binghuo Divine Thunder as soon as possible..."

Jiang Che thought to himself.

Next, Jiang Che channeled the Spiritual Power within him and started repeatedly practicing the Binghuo Divine Thunder technique.

Time flew by, and another month passed.

Since the second Spiritual Qi outbreak, the increasingly dense Spiritual Qi had significantly enhanced the overall strength of global beings.

During this period, both the demon race and human race grew amidst endless battles and competition, with powerful individuals constantly emerging. When one batch of strong individuals fell, a new batch would rise.

Among humans, the number of Revivers kept increasing, and besides the few who were slain by powerful beasts, many Revivers rapidly grew, with more advancing to fourth-tier Reviver status.

As for the demon race's fierce beasts, with Spirit Mountain and great rivers as their territories and ample Spiritual Object supplies, many Demon Kings saw a significant increase in their strength, with several third-tier fierce beasts breaking through to fourth-tier.

Meanwhile, as the number of powerful fierce beasts continued to grow, fourth-tier fierce beast attacks on humans became increasingly frequent.

To counter the emergence of fourth-tier Demon Kings, the Great Qin Empire had to spend heavily both to hire Revivers to resolve the issues and vigorously train their own Extraordinary individuals to raise them to fourth-tier as soon as possible.

...

Within the Great Qin Empire, Sichuan Province, Jianglin City.

Numerous, seemingly endless, evil spirits and ghosts rampaged through the city, looming black aura filling the air.

At this moment, the whole city was in chaos, the sounds of screams, cries for help, and shouts resounding incessantly, and killings were everywhere.

Every street and alley in the city was filled with evil spirits and ghosts, like death, reaping human lives.

"Hmph, you humans are like ants before this king, there's no need for me to disguise to kill you!"

Looking down below, at the hell-like scene, Qiongqi's eyes bore a cruel glint, snorting coldly.

The fear power from all directions surged toward him, continuously merging into his body.

Ever since he was exposed by Thunder Tiger, Qiongqi no longer bothered to disguise and simply showed his true self when wreaking havoc.

In order to gain fear power, which could quickly enhance his strength, each time he appeared, he would massacre humans in their cities to satisfy his cultivation needs.

Feeling the time was almost up, Qiongqi retracted the evil spirits and ghosts, then straightforwardly turned to leave.

During this time, he had already gained much experience in slaughtering human cities—he couldn't linger too long, or those troublesome Revivers would inevitably show up.

And then there was the ever-elusive Willow God; if he stayed too long, it might react just like last time with the Black Demon Tiger and target him.

A few breaths later, Qiongqi turned into a streak of black light, disappearing into the sky, leaving behind a city filled with immeasurable screams and agony.

Imperial Capital

A secluded courtyard in East District.

Creak~

The wooden door of the courtyard was opened.

Director Lin, looking haggard, walked heavily near the Willow God.

"Willow God..."

Director Lin looked at the Willow God's true form, with a face full of melancholy; the situation in Great Qin Empire was deteriorating.

"Director Lin."

The next moment, the emerald-like willow tree emitted a bright verdant light, and the Willow God slowly emerged, looking at Director Lin with a faint glance.

"Willow God, the number of fourth-tier fierce beasts attacking Great Qin Empire's cities has been increasing in recent times, and our Great Qin Empire... is almost at its limit.

Moreover, the provinces below are increasingly relying on those Revivers for safety reasons.

At this rate, it won't be long before the Imperial Capital loses its command over them."

"Especially that Qiongqi, repeatedly slaughtering our Great Qin Empire's cities, behaving no differently than the Black Demon Tiger, completely disregarding the Great Qin Empire."

Director Lin spoke helplessly with a bitter face.

Lately, the pressure on him was immense, and he had barely gotten a good night's sleep due to handling the fierce beast city assaults.

Hearing Director Lin's lament, the Willow God sighed.

Her injuries hadn't fully recovered and she couldn't act rashly, or her vitality would be endangered.
