In the depths of the Milky Way, a twisted halo drifted silently among the stars.
At its core, light-purple and fiery-red radiance intertwined. Space and time were stretched to their limits, forming a transparent "crack"several kilometers wide.
Starlight around it bent into a perfect ring under immense gravity. Nebular currents spiraled nearby yet never fell inward, as if restrained by invisible chains.
Like a transparent tunnel anchored in the universe—
one end fixed here, the other leading to an unknown star field.
This was a wormhole.
Several hundred kilometers away from it, a silver-gray spaceship floated quietly in the void, lonely as a single leaf adrift in a cosmic sea.
Inside the ship's cultivation chamber stood more than a dozen nutrient warehouses.
Most of them were already empty.
At this moment, Jiang Yan's Demon Slayer Clan main body was immersed in one of the remaining warehouses, cultivating in silence.
The scarlet nutrient fluid drained at a rate visible to the naked eye.
These cultivation resources had naturally been acquired through Red Kite's channels.
With over ten thousand mixed-element units to his name, Jiang Yan showed no restraint in purchasing top-tier resources.
After all, cultivation was not something to be stingy about.
Because his Earth human body was about to participate in the Genius Battle, it would not break through to the cosmic level for now, focusing instead on law comprehension and the three great techniques.
But the Demon Slayer Clan body had no such restrictions.
It was better to raise its realm as fast as possible.
After all—
This was Jiang Yan's true main body.
His life core was the Demon Slayer Clan's Life Crystal Core.
It was only that Jiang Yan had chosen the Earth human body as his active vessel, keeping his main consciousness there.
As long as he wished, his consciousness could instantly return to the Demon Slayer Clan body.
Beep—beep—beep!
Three sharp alarms suddenly rang out inside the cultivation chamber.
The nutrient solution had been completely absorbed.
Bang!
The lid of the nutrient warehouse burst open.
A jade-white hand reached out, gripping the edge.
Jiang Yan rose from within.
"As expected of nutrient solution worth tens of mixed-element units," he said softly, his eyes shining.
"The effect is excellent."
He could clearly feel the surging, violent energy within his Life Crystal Core. Satisfaction crossed his face.
In less than two months—
His Demon Slayer Clan body had advanced from Cosmic Rank Second
to Cosmic Rank Ninth.
All thanks to the nutrient warehouse and nutrient solution.
This was the highest-grade cultivation resource, normally reserved only for core members of the Virtual Universe Company.
Yet Jiang Yan had acquired several tons with ease.
Of course—
The rapid breakthrough wasn't solely due to the nutrient solution.
The Demon Slayer Clan itself was a peak bloodline, a form of energy life.
As long as sufficient energy was supplied, they could theoretically advance all the way to Realm Lord without bottlenecks.
The only real constraint lay in the Law of Space.
And Jiang Yan's comprehension of Space Law had already reached a very high level.
Thus, his Demon Slayer Clan body encountered almost no resistance while advancing within the cosmic ranks.
Only after reaching Realm Lord would progress slow dramatically.
Breaking from Realm Lord to Immortal was a massive hurdle for special lifeforms such as Demon Slayers and Golden Horned Beasts.
For them, the difficulty was hundreds—or even tens of thousands—of times greater than for ordinary races.
But for Jiang Yan?
That problem simply didn't exist.
Once his main consciousness returned to the Demon Slayer Clan body, with his golden finger pushing the progress bar to one hundred percent—
Immortality would come naturally.
Almost effortlessly.
Beep—beep—beep—beep!
Suddenly, a rapid alarm echoed throughout the ship.
"Master! A D6-class hostile spacecraft has been detected!" Atuka's anxious voice rang out.
"Hm?"
Jiang Yan's expression turned cold.
His figure blurred and vanished, appearing in the cockpit in an instant.
"Atuka, activate positional simulation," he ordered.
The virtual light screen flickered on, displaying a dark D6-class spaceship.
"Master," Atuka reported quickly,
"Three cosmic-level energy signatures detected. One at Cosmic Rank Ninth, one at Eighth, and one at Sixth."
"Oh?"
Jiang Yan's eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Fortunately, he had left his Demon Slayer Clan body stationed here.
Otherwise, Earth's safety would have been questionable.
Perfect timing—
He had just broken through.
These three would make ideal test subjects.
"Master, the railgun is fully charged. Shall we engage?" Atuka asked eagerly.
The D6 railgun was one of Jiang Yan's previous purchases—more than enough to annihilate cosmic-level opponents.
"Not yet," Jiang Yan shook his head.
Before the words even finished—
His figure passed straight through the hatch and stepped into the vacuum of space.
The Law of Space condensed beneath his feet, forming a silver bridge of light.
With a single step, he crossed hundreds of kilometers and appeared directly before the Nolanshan family's spaceship.
"This—this is Jiang Yan?!"
Inside the ship, Nolanshan, Dewin, and Baikaro stared in disbelief.
"How can he be a Cosmic Rank Ninth?!"
The moment their ship exited the wormhole, their sensors had detected another vessel nearby—and a terrifying ninth-rank cosmic aura.
But seeing Jiang Yan standing outside the ship with their own eyes—
Left them utterly stunned.
"Hah," Jiang Yan sneered coldly.
"So it's the Nuo Lanshan family."
"You've brought such a formation into my galaxy—planning to attack my territory?"
His killing intent boiled over.
Through the Law of Space, he had already clearly seen the three figures inside.
"Die."
Jiang Yan raised his hand and slapped downward.
The full might of a Cosmic Rank Ninth erupted without restraint.
Space Law surged like an invisible tidal wave.
BOOM!
The D6-class spaceship was crushed instantly—reduced to fragments.
Three figures were flung out in utter disarray.
"Jiang Yan! You're courting death!!"
Watching his ship destroyed, Nolanshan's scarlet eyes burned with fury.
He was a Cosmic Rank Ninth powerhouse who had earned the title of Giant Axe Warrior.
How could he tolerate such humiliation?
"Attack together! Kill him!"
Nolanshan charged forward alongside Baikaro and Dewin, each unleashing their strongest techniques.
Jiang Yan's gaze remained calm.
A crimson war spear appeared in his hand—
The Red Cloud Spear, a fifth-order weapon he had purchased at great cost.
The Salamander couldn't measure its true quality, and the Earth body was currently using other weapons—so this spear suited him perfectly.
Facing the combined assault, Jiang Yan didn't retreat.
He merely gave the spear a slight shake.
Cosmic Marksmanship.
Xuanwu World-Suppressing Spear — Third Form: Devouring Sun and Moon!
Pffft!
Space Law detonated.
An invisible spear-shadow tore through the void—
piercing straight through Dewin's眉心.
The Cosmic Rank Sixth powerhouse didn't even have time to scream.
His head exploded like a smashed watermelon.
The second-generation patriarch of the Nuo Lanshan family—
dead.
"Dewin!!"
Nolanshan's eyes split open in rage. He slashed wildly with his battle blade, law power surging violently.
Baikaro froze.
The green-scaled face beneath his black robe was filled with terror.
Dewin—
Killed in a single move?
No matter how much he looked down on him, Dewin was still a Cosmic Rank Sixth.
Not a weakling.
Bang!
A sickening popping sound rang out.
Baikaro snapped back to his senses.
He looked up—
And froze completely.
His teacher.
Nolanshan, founder of the Nuo Lanshan family,
peerless expert who had earned the title of Giant Axe Warrior—
Had been shot straight through the head.
Dead on the spot.
"Teacher!!"
Baikaro screamed.
Terror flooded his heart.
Impossible!
His teacher had been a Giant Axe Warrior!
How could he fail to withstand even a single move?!
This Jiang Yan—
How terrifying was he?!
"Surrender."
"Or… die."
Jiang Yan's voice sounded like it came from the depths of hell.
In the next instant, he appeared before Baikaro, the Red Cloud Spear pressed firmly against his眉心.
A Blade Clan genius like this—
Killing him would be a waste.
Enslaving him was the better choice.
…
