I only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at eighty years old, and then the system appeared.

With the meticulous planning and actions of Yang Hongbo and the Ancestor, the power of the Qinghu Dynasty was at its zenith, rapidly expanding to several surrounding human dynasties.

The elites of the Demon Slayer Division moved between dynasties like ghosts, their presence not only appearing on the streets but also penetrating into the high-level decision-making of the dynasties.

With the generous system rewards provided by Yang Hongbo, the experts of the Demon Slayer Division made rapid progress in their cultivation. Dozens of them successively entered the Saint Emperor realm. Among them, Lin Feng climbed to the ninth level of Saint Emperor at an astonishing speed, becoming the undisputed third strongest person on the Demon Fox Continent, apart from the Fox Clan Ancestor and Yang Hongbo.

The fox clan initially failed to notice this quietly rising power until their investigation teams sent to various human dynasties went missing one after another, at which point they realized the seriousness of the situation.

At the high-level meeting of the fox clan, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive. An elderly fox demon slowly spoke: "Gentlemen, none of the investigation teams we have sent out recently have returned. This is no coincidence. I suspect that the Azure Fox Dynasty has a master behind it, or that they have received some kind of powerful external assistance."

"Hmph, the Azure Fox Dynasty? Nothing but a rabble." Another fox demon scoffed disdainfully. "Even if they have something to rely on, so what? Our fox clan's ancestor was a Quasi-Emperor Realm Level Six expert. Looking across the entire Fox Demon Continent, who can rival him?"

"That being said, we cannot let our guard down." The elderly fox demon said in a deep voice, "I suggest that we immediately strengthen surveillance around the various human dynasties, and at the same time, report this matter to the ancestor and ask him for a decision."

However, when the fox clan envoy arrived at the ancestor's secluded cultivation place with the urgent message, he was told that the ancestor was at a critical moment of breakthrough and no one was allowed to disturb him. Helpless, the envoy could only take the message back. Upon hearing this, the fox clan's high-ranking members all looked worried, but there was nothing they could do.

On the other side, with the system's assistance, Yang Hongbo's cultivation level soared like a rocket. Utilizing the cultivation pills, cultivation manuals, and precious cultivation resources rewarded by the system, he cultivated diligently day and night, finally reaching the fifth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm before the age of twenty. This achievement was extremely rare even in the entire history of the Demon Fox Continent.

"Hongbo, your progress is so rapid that even I am surprised." After a period of seclusion, the ancestor looked at Yang Hongbo with admiration in his eyes. "However, you should not be arrogant or complacent. The Fox Clan Ancestor is a powerful expert at the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, only one step away from the high level. You must not underestimate him."

"Rest assured, Ancestor, I understand," Yang Hongbo replied respectfully. "I have made full preparations and am just waiting for the right time to launch a general offensive against the Fox Clan."

"Good, that's ambitious!" The patriarch laughed. "In that case, I'll lend you a hand. This is the 'Chaotic Emperor's Technique' that I obtained from an ancient secret place. Although it's incomplete, it will be of great benefit to you."

Yang Hongbo accepted the cultivation manual from the ancestor, his heart filled with excitement. He knew that this "Chaos Emperor Technique" was an extremely powerful cultivation technique, and even the incomplete version was enough to elevate his strength to a higher level.

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Hongbo has already reached the peak of the fifth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and is only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the sixth level.

Meanwhile, the fox clan finally noticed the unusual movements of the Azure Fox Dynasty and its allies. They began to strengthen their defenses, and the fox clan patriarch ended his seclusion, preparing to personally take action to suppress this force that threatened the fox clan's rule.

"Hongbo, the Fox Clan Ancestor has emerged from seclusion. We can't wait any longer," the ancestor said to Yang Hongbo with a solemn expression. "You must break through to the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm as soon as possible, otherwise, we will find it difficult to contend with him."

"Rest assured, Ancestor, I have sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough." Yang Hongbo's eyes gleamed with determination. "Please protect me, Ancestor, as I will now go into seclusion to break through."

Several days later, at Yang Hongbo's secluded cultivation spot, a powerful aura soared into the sky. The pressure of a sixth-level Quasi-Emperor Realm expert enveloped the surrounding area, causing the entire Demon Fox Continent to tremble. Yang Hongbo had successfully broken through, becoming the second sixth-level Quasi-Emperor Realm expert on the Demon Fox Continent after the Fox Clan Ancestor.

"Good! Good! Good!" The patriarch looked at Yang Hongbo as he walked out of the secluded cultivation place and praised him repeatedly. "Hongbo, you have indeed not disappointed me. Now, we can launch a general offensive against the Fox Clan."

"Ancestor, your grandson is ready." Yang Hongbo held the Demon-Slaying Sword, his eyes flashing with a sharp killing intent. "Today is the day the Fox Clan will be destroyed."

With Yang Hongbo's command, the Azure Fox Dynasty and its allies, along with their demon-slaying armies and experts from the Demon-Slaying Division, launched a fierce attack on the fox clan's lair. In an instant, the continent of the Demon Fox was engulfed in war, with battle cries shaking the heavens and earth.

Upon learning the news, the Fox Clan Ancestor was enraged. He personally led the Fox Clan's elite forces to meet Yang Hongbo and his men in a breathtaking battle. During the battle, Yang Hongbo wielded the Demon-Slaying Sword and unleashed the Nine Heavens Divine Art, becoming invincible. Even the Fox Clan Ancestor could not withstand his onslaught.

"Yang Hongbo, how dare you be so arrogant!" The fox clan patriarch roared, unleashing all his power to try and suppress Yang Hongbo's arrogance. "Today, I'll show you that the gap between the sixth and fifth levels of the Quasi-Emperor Realm is not something you can easily overcome!"

The fox clan patriarch was far too arrogant, unaware that his opponent had already advanced to the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"Hmph, Ancestor, you overestimate yourself." Yang Hongbo sneered, his Demon-Slaying Sword flashing with impenetrable power. "Today, I'll show you what true power is!"

The battle raged for three days and three nights, shrouding the entire Demon Fox Continent in a bloodbath. Finally, after a thrilling and intense struggle, Yang Hongbo, relying on the sharpness of his Demon-Slaying Sword and the power of his own cultivation techniques, managed to kill the Fox Clan's patriarch and win this war of annihilation.

After losing the protection of their ancestor, the Fox Clan quickly collapsed. Attacks from all sides followed one after another, leaving only a fraction of the clan alive. The survivors could only retreat in despair from the continent they had ruled for tens of thousands of years. Yang Hongbo, however, seized this glorious victory and became the new overlord of the Fox Clan. His name will forever be etched in the annals of history.

"Congratulations, host, you have successfully cleared the sixth level of the Time-Space Tunnel." As the system notification sounded, Yang Hongbo knew that he had completed another arduous task. He looked at this land that once belonged to the fox clan but now belonged to the human race, and his heart was filled with emotion and pride.
