The blood tinged with divine glow spurted out from Emperor Jing of Liang’s chest, along Su Que’s "Breaking the Red Dust"!

His eyes filled with disbelief, stared at Su Que.

With his heaving chest and faint coughs, the thick blood continued to gush from his mouth.

Emperor Jing of Liang, though shocked, was unwilling to be subdued, suddenly moved his thoughts.

The Longxiao Sword suspended in the sky, along with the many sword auras it had divided, converged into a stream, shooting straight down towards Su Que’s back! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Su Que mobilized the power of his Lifebound Demon Seed’s demon skills and infused it into "Breaking the Red Dust".

"Breaking the Red Dust" had already pierced into Emperor Jing of Liang’s chest; like a torrent, the power of demon skills burst forth from "Breaking the Red Dust", immediately rushing towards Emperor Jing of Liang’s five viscera and six bowels.

The "Celestial Punishment Sword Array" cultivated by Emperor Jing of Liang could not only unleash sword arrays to kill enemies externally but also condense sword qi within for a protective shield.

Within Emperor Jing of Liang’s five viscera and six bowels were already streams of golden sword aura for protection.

Su Que’s demon skills clashed against these golden sword auras, immediately producing a clangorous sound.

In an instant, these golden sword auras were shattered by Su Que’s demon skills.

Having lost the protection of sword qi, Emperor Jing of Liang’s five viscera and six bowels were immediately damaged by the impact of demon skills, revealing cracks from which blood streamed.

Emperor Jing of Liang was in intense pain, no longer able to control the Longxiao Sword.

The scorching sword auras divided by the Longxiao Sword vanished into the sky.

The Longxiao Sword itself dimmed in an instant.

Suddenly, it fell from the sky.

With a thud, it crashed into the ground, shattering the stone bricks and causing a dust cloud to rise.

The Longxiao Sword was indeed extremely heavy.

The commotion of the combat was immense; by this time, people in the Imperial Palace who heard the noise, including Li Xuanji, had flocked over.

"It’s Emperor Jing of Liang!"

Among those who came, one person said.

This person was a former minister of Liang Kingdom, spared by Li Xuanji due to his talents, and retained in his original post.

Seeing that Li Xuanji did not kill him, he felt grateful and was loyal to Li Xuanji.

Li Xuanji and others were shocked upon hearing this.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the blazing sun and blue sky re-emerged.

Rays of sunlight again streamed down.

Seeing the sky change swiftly as soon as Emperor Jing of Liang was subdued, Li Xuanji could not help suspecting the weather change was due to Emperor Jing of Liang’s appearance.

’Where did Emperor Jing of Liang come from?’

’Why did his arrival cause such a shift in heaven?’

Thoughts emerged one after another in Li Xuanji’s mind.

’Has Emperor Jing of Liang indeed broken through to some extreme realm—is there truly an Immortal in this world?’

Shocked by this thought, Li Xuanji pondered.

As a descendant of an imperial family of a nation, he had read some tomes and knew of legends about Martial Immortals and divine beings.

Yet, he always regarded them as mere legends, never imagining their reality.

After all, he believed that once he restored the nation, it would be the pinnacle, not just for himself but for all descendants after the fall of the imperial family.

He never considered the ultimate boundaries of martial artists or whether this world truly had Martial Immortals or gods.

Su Que, while using demon skills to strike Emperor Jing of Liang’s viscera, meridians, and flesh, released an affiliated demon seed.

Leaping out from his meridian, a purple flash emerged into Emperor Jing of Liang’s Dantian.

’What are you doing...’

Emperor Jing of Liang sensed a purple light mass in his Dantian, seemingly rooting with his essence qi, spirit, and mind, and felt both shock and anger.

Blood continued flowing from his mouth, with each word he spoke accompanied by a mouthful of blood.

Now gravely injured, even with higher cultivation than Su Que, he was powerless to stop Su Que’s affiliated demon seed from connecting with his essence qi, spirit, and mind within his Dantian.

He could only watch as the affiliated demon seed released power with purple aura, increasingly binding with his essence qi, spirit, and mind.

Meanwhile, due to his weakness, he couldn’t fend off Su Que’s telepathy.

Upon Su Que’s telepathy, his spirit delved into Emperor Jing of Liang’s spirit.

In an instant, a flood of Emperor Jing of Liang’s memories surged into Su Que’s mind.

Thus, Su Que learned about various Upper Realm forces, cultivation techniques, and other affairs.

After receiving all of Emperor Jing of Liang’s memories, Su Que’s affiliated demon seed fully bound with Emperor Jing of Liang’s essence qi, spirit, and mind.

Then, with a thought, Su Que drew up the affiliated demon seed.

The affiliated demon seed immediately carried Emperor Jing of Liang’s essence qi, spirit, and mind, flew out, and entered Su Que’s Dantian.

Subsequently, the affiliated demon seed entered Su Que’s Lifebound Demon Seed.

The Lifebound Demon Seed suddenly radiated intense purple aura as Emperor Jing of Liang’s essence qi, spirit, and mind were merged by Su Que into his own.

Remaining lifespan: 5936

After merging Emperor Jing of Liang’s essence qi, spirit, and mind, his lifespan was instantaneously extended by more than four hundred years.

He felt a surge of new strength within his body, as if his life had elevated to a new level.

After receiving Emperor Jing of Liang’s memories, he realized that once one breaks through the Tribulation Seed Realm and achieves the Merging Realm, one can be called an "Immortal."

Immortals can enjoy at least five thousand years of lifespan.

’I am merely at the third stage of the Tribulation Seed Realm, far from the Merging Realm, yet already possessing almost six thousand years of lifespan...’

Su Que thought to himself, secretly gauging the strength of his physique.

According to Emperor Jing of Liang’s memories, entering the Merging Realm grants five thousand years of lifespan, and reaching the Peak of the Merging Realm grants ten thousand years.
