Divine War Pill Emperor

The matter of breaking the engagement was finally settled, thanks to Jiang Chen’s scathing counterattack.

Qin Muxue fled in a panic with Elder Resentment.

「In Jiang Chen’s courtyard.」

Jiang Han looked at his son, who was now a complete enigma to him.

With a wry smile, he walked over to Jiang Chen and patted his shoulder.

"Son, I know you’ve suffered a great deal of humiliation. Now, you’ve finally gotten your vindication."

"But no matter what you do, I’ll always have your back."

His son had already forced him, his own father, to see him in a new light.

Most people could never pull off something like that.

Xiao Yun also appeared beside Jiang Chen.

She comforted him, "Child, your mother supports you too."

"When you go to deliver the letter of divorce in a year, we’ll show the Qin Family that we, the Jiang Family, are not to be trifled with."

Having received his parents’ support, Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

The family gathered for a while.

Jiang Han and Xiao Yun left a short while later.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment in the courtyard.

’Looks like I need to increase my Cultivation as quickly as possible.’

’I should start by practicing my Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique.’

In Jiang Chen’s mind, there were now many powerful Cultivation Techniques from his past life.

But it wasn’t possible to master all of them in a short time.

Among all the Cultivation Techniques, the most formidable was the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique.

The Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique was a true method of plundering Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

It didn’t just plunder from the heavens and the earth, but also from other Cultivators.

An incredibly domineering Cultivation Technique.

He hadn’t even managed to fully master this technique in his previous life. After all, he had found it while treasure hunting in Taixu.

Its power was heaven-defying.

Jiang Chen had taken no small number of risks to obtain the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique.

He had nearly paid with his life.

He sat cross-legged in the courtyard.

He began to circulate the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique.

In the next instant, the world began to hum and tremble.

Endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi transformed into streams of energy, rushing towards Jiang Chen’s body from all directions.

Other people’s Cultivation merely involved absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the world.

But Jiang Chen plundered, forcefully wrenching it from the world.

Naturally, his absorption speed was much faster than that of ordinary Martial Cultivators.

’All plundering is a form of destruction.’

’A heaven-defying technique like this... if cultivated to its peak, it will surely invite a great heavenly tribulation.’

Jiang Chen vaguely guessed that the power of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique also concealed a crisis.

However, the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique was simply too powerful; he couldn’t abandon it.

After cultivating for about four hours,

Jiang Chen was completely enveloped in a yellow glow.

If an outsider were to see this, they would surely be aghast.

This phenomenon was a sign of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi having reached its absolute peak of density.

All of this Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was being frantically absorbed by Jiang Chen.

A powerful aura began to ripple from Jiang Chen’s body.

OMMM...

At a certain moment, Jiang Chen’s body shuddered.

The powerful momentum caused the dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around him to be sucked into his body in an instant, like a great whale drinking the ocean.

Then, a ripple signifying a breakthrough in his Cultivation emanated from Jiang Chen’s body.

Jiang Chen’s aura grew even stronger. He was full of vigor, and his eyes were as deep as the starry sky.

’Not bad, a breakthrough to the Warrior Second Heaven.’

A look of deep joy appeared on Jiang Chen’s face.

It was no wonder. In his previous life, he only had a Seventh-Grade Martial Vein.

Now, he possessed a Top-Grade Martial Vein.

The cultivation speed of a Top-Grade Martial Vein was simply enough to make him ecstatic.

On top of that, his Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique combined with the Top-Grade Martial Vein was a match made in heaven.

The power was even more terrifying.

In just a few hours, his Cultivation broke through from the Warrior First Heaven to the Warrior Second Heaven.

Jiang Chen had never encountered such a cultivation speed, even in his past life.

Even his ten disciples, whose Top-Grade Martial Veins had all been reformed by his Unparalleled Pills, had never received his Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique.

Jiang Chen couldn’t even imagine what his future potential held.

’Break through Taixu, step out of the Immortal Dome.’

He began to look forward to it faintly.

However, it was still a bit too early to talk about such things.

Jiang Chen remained seated on the ground, lost in thought.

’The Fire Sparrow Seal... heh, that’s my Vermilion Bird Seal.’

’In that case, I might as well cultivate my Vermilion Bird Seal.’

He had comprehended the Vermilion Bird Seal by visualizing the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.

Its power was immense.

Back then, when his Vermilion Bird Seal appeared, the Seven Realms trembled and the Nine Desolates cowered. None dared to disobey.

Sitting on the ground, Jiang Chen sank into a state of comprehension.

In his consciousness, he once again recalled the scene of the Vermilion Bird flying across the sky.

A fiery red Vermilion Bird, thousands of feet long, flew in from the horizon.

All creation submitted. Any obstacle that dared to block the Vermilion Bird’s path was reduced to ash under the Vermilion Bird’s Fire.

The Vermilion Bird’s Fire burned the heavens, boiled the seas, and incinerated myriad realms.

The Shadow of the Vermilion Bird covered the entire sky.

It all played out over and over in Jiang Chen’s consciousness as if it were happening right before his eyes.

’Shadow of the Vermilion Bird, condense for me!’

As Jiang Chen’s visualization reached a certain point, the image of the Vermilion Bird flew back and forth in his mind.

The fiery red Vermilion Bird, like a ball of flame, became clearer and clearer.

He suddenly let out a low shout.

In that instant, he forcefully condensed a fiery red figure of the Vermilion Bird.

KRAAA...

As the Shadow of the Vermilion Bird condensed, a strange cry came from the Vermilion Bird’s mouth.

It was the very same cry Jiang Chen had heard all those years ago.

The sound had a soul-shaking effect.

But Jiang Chen didn’t stop there.

He already had experience condensing the Vermilion Bird Seal from his past life.

It was just that he had discovered in his past life that the Vermilion Bird Seal back then wasn’t quite perfect.

Now, condensing the Vermilion Bird Seal again, he wanted to make it perfect.

The Vermilion Bird is the Divine Beast that guards the south.

Its Divine Power is boundless.

An ordinary Martial Cultivator could never hope to even see such a Divine Beast.

Let alone visualizing the Vermilion Bird to comprehend a Divine Technique—that was nothing but a fool’s dream.

If it weren’t for that one fleeting, stunning glimpse, how could Jiang Chen have possibly obtained a Divine Technique like the Vermilion Bird Seal?

Comprehending the Vermilion Bird Seal was far from simple.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen had comprehended it long ago; now, he was merely perfecting it.

’The Shadow of the Vermilion Bird I comprehended before had form, but no spirit.’

That was right. The shortcoming of Jiang Chen’s previous Vermilion Bird Seal was that although he had comprehended it, it was a mere empty form, lacking the Vermilion Bird’s "spirit."

"Spirit" represented one’s Spiritual Qi. If the Vermilion Bird Seal possessed the Vermilion Bird’s Spiritual Qi, it would be even more perfect.

Its power would only be greater.

Now, he wanted to bestow a "spirit" upon the Vermilion Bird Seal, which was equivalent to giving it vitality, rather than it being just a simple, powerful move like before.

’That’s it! I will imbue my own spirit, my own life force, into the Vermilion Bird Seal.’

It was unrealistic to expect the Vermilion Bird Seal to possess the vitality of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast itself.

However, Jiang Chen could entrust his own life force to the Vermilion Bird Seal.

In doing so, the Vermilion Bird Seal would gain a "spirit," and its power would multiply.

No sooner said than done.

"Spirit" also represented a Martial Cultivator’s Spiritual Qi, their intent, their consciousness, and even their life force.

Jiang Chen forcefully merged his Spiritual Qi, his intent, and even his own consciousness into the Vermilion Bird Seal.

「About three days later.」

KRAAA...

A fiery red Vermilion Bird abruptly flew out from within Jiang Chen’s body.

It soared into the sky.

Its fiery glow illuminated half the heavens.
