The purple lightning ball hissed against Jun Aoshi's throat.

He tried to scream, but his throat had already been burned through by the high temperature, and he could only make a "hoarse" sound like a broken bellows.

Fear, an unprecedented fear, overwhelmed this pride of the capital.

Jiang Chen looked at him, raised his other hand, spread his five fingers, and aimed them at Jun Aoshi's brow.

"What you took from me five years ago was the destiny of a true dragon."

"Now, all you've returned is a rotten IOU."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen suddenly clenched his five fingers.

An invisible suction force erupted from his palm.

Jun Aoshi's body began to convulse violently.

A faint, dark golden thread, mixed with black energy, was forcibly pulled from between his eyebrows.

The moment the thread left Jun Aoshi's body, his handsome face aged visibly.

Skin loses its luster, muscles atrophy, and hair turns dry and yellow.

The sparkle in his eyes quickly died out.

"No……"

Jun Aoshi used his last bit of strength to squeeze out half a syllable.

Jiang Chen remained expressionless, casually flicking away that wisp of mixed fortune.

The threads of life force turned to ashes.

The ball of lightning in his hand also lost its last bit of energy and dissipated into the air.

Jun Aoshi's body slumped down, like a dried-up corpse.

Jiang Chen stood up, not even glancing at the corpse again.

He slowly closed his eyes.

hum-

An invisible wave, centered on him, swept outwards in all directions.

It's not true qi.

It is divine consciousness.

In an instant, everything within a ten-mile radius was constructed in his mind into an incredibly clear, three-dimensional map.

The wind rustles through the veins of the leaves.

Hundreds of meters underground, an ant is carrying food.

On a distant high-rise building, several martial arts masters, holding high-powered binoculars, trembled with fear.

In the Jun family mansion, beneath a secluded woodshed.

In a secret passage barely wide enough for one person to pass through, an old man in brocade robes was scrambling to escape.

That was the third elder of the Jun family.

He had only climbed a few meters when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

It was as if something had its eye on him.

He turned around abruptly; the secret passage was empty and desolate, with only his heavy breathing as an exception.

"Is it an illusion?"

The Third Elder wiped away his cold sweat and continued crawling forward using both his hands and feet.

But the feeling of being watched didn't disappear; instead, it became even stronger.

It was as if a pair of eyes were pressed against the back of his head, coldly watching his every move.

Inside the underground palace.

Jiang Chen's divine sense swept over every corner of the Jun family's residence, clearly seeing all the hidden sentries and secret rooms.

He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruoye, who was still meditating beside him.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoye's brows were furrowed.

Although she benefited from Jiang Chen's power, her Gengjin Body was perfected and her cultivation level skyrocketed.

However, the overly sharp Geng metal energy within her body continued to surge wildly, causing her meridians to ache.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and pointed at her from afar.

A barely perceptible wisp of dark golden energy shot into Xiao Ruoye's body.

Xiao Ruoye's body trembled.

She felt that the energy was like a master with the highest skill, using the gentlest method to sort out and gather the chaotic and sharp Geng metal energy in her body, eventually converging it into her dantian.

The previously stinging meridians became incredibly unobstructed.

The bottleneck was suddenly broken through.

An aura far more powerful than before rose from her body.

Grandmaster Realm!

"I...I broke through?"

Xiao Ruoye felt the surging power within her body and was somewhat dazed.

The chronic ailment that had plagued her for years was simply resolved by the other party pointing at it casually?

And incidentally, I even helped her break through a realm?

Jiang Chen ignored her shock and looked at Shen Suxin again.

Thank you.

Shen Suxin gently shook her head, her face still somewhat pale: "Brother Jiang, I only did what I was supposed to do."

Jiang Chen didn't say anything more.

He simply cast his gaze into the dark corners of the underground palace.

"A bunch of rats hiding their heads and tails."

He raised his right hand, pointed his index finger at the air, and gently tapped it repeatedly.

call out!call out!call out!

More than a dozen streams of dark golden true energy shot out from his fingertips.

These vital energies, as if they had eyes, ignored the obstruction of the walls and accurately shot towards all parts of the Jun family.

In a secret room, a shadow guard who was observing the underground palace through a monocular telescope suddenly froze.

He looked down at the gaping, bloody hole in his chest.

"How……"

His Qi Sea was shattered, and his life force was cut off.

The same scene was playing out simultaneously in more than a dozen of the Jun family's hidden strongholds.

Those most elite shadow guards of the Jun family were instantly wiped out without even knowing where the attack came from.

After doing all this, Jiang Chen seemed to dust himself off.

He looked into the depths of the underground palace, into the largest secret chamber, crafted from black iron.

His divine sense had already locked onto the trembling figure inside.

The head of the Jun family, Jun Wanhe.

Jiang Chen strode forward, walking slowly and deliberately towards the secret room.

Xiao Ruoye and Shen Suxin immediately followed.

"The Jun family is finished."

As Xiao Ruoye watched Jiang Chen's retreating figure, this thought arose in her mind.

The Jiang Chen she knows now no longer feels like a person.

Rather, he is a deity walking among humans.

Every movement he made, every glance he gave, carried an absolute, authoritative power that made his words law.

The surrounding air seemed to become viscous because of his presence.

Gravity increased several times out of thin air.

Even Xiao Ruoye, a Grandmaster, felt a bit suffocated.

In the distance, the powerful families and martial arts experts of the capital who had been spying on this place through various means were already terrified.

"What...what kind of monster is that?"

A renowned master dropped his telescope, which shattered on the ground.

He looked up at the sky above the Jun family residence, where a faint yet oppressive aura pressed down on him, making him tremble all over.

"Golden Core...this is definitely the power of a Golden Core!"

"Quickly! Inform the entire family that from today onwards, they are to be completely averse to anything belonging to the Jun family!"

"The landscape of the capital is about to change."

……

Inside the Xuan Tie Secret Chamber.

As Jun Wanhe stared at the monitor screen at the life signals that were extinguished in an instant, the color drained from his face.

He listened to the slow, deliberate footsteps that seemed to be pounding on his heart, and his body trembled like a leaf.

"Aoshi is dead... the retainer is dead... the shadow guards are all gone..."

"How could this happen... how could this happen!"

He was grabbing his hair like a madman.

He didn't understand.

How could a convict who crawled out of prison, a cripple whose life force had been taken away, grow to such a terrifying level in just a few months?

The footsteps stopped outside the black iron gate.

Jun Wanhe's breathing also stopped.

He stared intently at the thick, black iron gate, which was half a meter thick.

He knew that this door couldn't stop the monster.

In despair, his gaze fell upon the blood-red stone platform in the center of the secret chamber, covered in dust.

On the stone platform, there is a broken, black bone.

That was the Jun family's biggest secret.

It was also the Jun family's last trump card.

"Jiang Chen!"

A mad, resolute glint flashed in Jun Wanhe's eyes.

"You want to destroy my Jun family? I'll drag the entire capital down with you!"

He rushed to the stone platform, took out a dagger, and without hesitation, slashed his wrist.

Crimson blood gushed out, pouring onto the black animal bone.

He began to chant an ancient and obscure incantation.

As he chanted, the originally unremarkable animal bone began to emit a faint, ominous red light.

Deep underground in the capital city, something seemed to have been awakened.
