"Pfft!"

Having dodged far away, Lu Qingfeng, due to the imprints in the divine banner being scattered from the shock, was gravely injured. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, barely maintaining his footing.
As for the Hun Mountain Demon King, the fierce fire dissipated and the Demon King ultimately turned into a powder, dissipating with the wind without a trace.
Sadly, before dying, he had no idea what Lu Qingfeng's identity was. He also didn't know that the trivial Spirit Void practitioner he casually killed years ago would brew today's dire consequences.
However, for the Hun Mountain Demon King, perhaps it was a blessing to know nothing.
If he knew that the Spirit Void practitioner who killed him today was not only the ant he casually killed back then but also the prime culprit who cursed him and trapped him on Zhou Yuan Mountain for six hundred years, he might have exploded from rage instead of self-detonation, causing his Three Corpse Gods to jump about and vomiting blood to death.
"Quite a valiant resolution."
Lu Qingfeng's face was pale as he shook his head.
At the Jiedan Realm, mana converges in the Dantian, condensing into a Golden Core. Once self-detonated, it has tremendous power. Lu Qingfeng had the Dutian Fierce Fire Immortal Formation to block the blast of self-detonation, causing him no major harm. His injuries were merely due to the scattered imprints in the divine banner.
With some recuperation, he would be healed.
However, for the Hun Mountain Demon King, this self-detonation completely annihilated both his body and divine soul, leaving him no chance for reincarnation.
Truly fierce!
Truly valiant!
Perhaps it was the six hundred years of torment from the curse that muddled his mind.
To refine the curse was indeed a delight.
Being confronted by Lu Qingfeng and facing a life-and-death catastrophe was a great sorrow.
Under great joy and great sorrow, the actions took an extreme turn. Normally, a Jiedan True Man, even in death, might have a chance to awaken past life's wisdom through reincarnation, though ultimately different from their past life, would have a chance to ascend to the peak again.
Thus, ordinary Jiedan practitioners, even facing death, would never dare to self-detonate.
The action of the Hun Mountain Demon King was quite unwise, and it caught Lu Qingfeng off guard.
...
"Great King!"
"The Great King is dead!"
Upon seeing the Fiery Fire Immortal Array disperse and the Hun Mountain Demon King dissipated, all the big and small demons on Zhou Yuan Mountain were greatly shocked and fled in all directions.
Lu Qingfeng touched the blood on the corner of his mouth, his complexion pale and his footing unsteady, and he did not pursue.
Using the Dutian Fierce Fire Immortal Array to refine the Hun Mountain Demon King wasn't without fierce power, but it also consumed a lot. Lu Qingfeng, being only a Spirit Void practitioner with limited True Yuan, would have collapsed early if not for him cultivating multiple True Sect Level Cultivation Methods and possessing deep foundations.
Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng had profound foundations and had cultivated three True Sect Level Cultivation Methods, his True Yuan much richer than other practitioners of his level, by several or even dozens of times.
Added with the powerful Immortal Array and the fact that the Hun Mountain Demon King was influenced by the Demon Evil Entangling Silk Divine Spell, unable to exert his full strength, and tormented by the curse over the years without any progress in cultivation, his power stagnated at the Second Realm of Core Formation—the Solid Pill Realm.
This loss accrued against his own increase.
Only then could Lu Qingfeng, with his Spirit Void status, slay the Jiedan Demon King. Even so, the self-destruction of the Hun Mountain Demon King ruined hundreds of years of Lu Qingfeng's cultivation efforts in an instant, forcing him to start again.
The gale ceased, the sudden rain stopped.
The dark clouds dispersed, clearing the sky.
"A dignified Demon King should have quite an estate."
Lu Qingfeng collected the twelve divine banners scattered around and then plundered the Hun Mountain Demon King's cave dwelling, "unexpectedly—"
Upon seeing the corpse placed in a corner of the Hun Mountain Demon King's cave dwelling, Lu Qingfeng's eyes widened. He immediately showed a look of surprise and waved his hand to collect it.
"It's not suitable to stay here long!"
The commotion caused by setting up the Fiery Fire Immortal Array to slay the Hun Mountain Demon King and his self-detonation had already alerted the surroundings. Red Sand Demon King of the Red Sand River, being the closest, was likely already on his way.
Lu Qingfeng did not dare to be careless, he used Concealing Technique and Concealing Technique simultaneously, covering his tracks and swiftly leaving Zhou Yuan Mountain.
Not long after Lu Qingfeng left, a sinister young man clad in red robes arrived, sweeping his eyes around and summoning a little demon with a gesture, "What just happened here?!"
"Spare me, Great King!"
"There was a human cultivator just now..."
The little demon, frightened, narrated the entire incident of Lu Qingfeng's arrival and the slaying of the Hun Mountain Demon King.
"Du Tian Fierce Fire Divine Banner!"
"Who was it?"
The Red Sand Demon King glanced towards the mountain peak of Zhou Yuan, now a barren wasteland with smoky red ground, a flicker of wariness in his eyes, eventually returning to Red Sand River.
...
At the boundary between Yuanwu Country's Heavenly Star State and Mountain Country's Jian State, in a cave dwelling on Nameless Mountain, Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged.
In front of him lay a pill and a corpse.
The pill gleamed brilliantly, radiating strong yang energy.
[Pill: Lifespan Extension Pill]
[Grade: Sixth Order]
[Explanation: A pill refined from Dragon Pattern Grass, Wind Chime Flower, and several dozen other rare Spiritual Medicines. When consumed by those below or within the Core Formation Stage, can extend lifespan by a hundred years]
"Lifespan Extension Pill!"
It's unknown where the Hun Mountain Demon King acquired such an elixir.
At first glance, the Lifespan Extension Pill might not seem as precious as Rejuvenation Water, but in reality, in the Postnatal and Foundation Establishment Levels, a quarter lifespan isn't as beneficial as directly adding a hundred years to life. Only at the Spirit Void (lifespan of eight hundred years) and Core Formation (lifespan of three thousand years) levels, does the value of Rejuvenation Water manifest, far surpassing that of the Lifespan Extension Pill.
Lu Qingfeng picked up the pill, toying with it in his hand, his eyes revealing delight. With this pill, coupled with the capability to decode through Derivation Technique, he could realistically find the materialsreur=start cultisesses to refine it.
Though the sixokable a worthy path to pursue, and it wouldn't conflict with the effects of Rejuvenation Water. Though maybe useless for Lu Qingfeng, it could be crucial for Lu Qingshan or Lu Qingyu.
Lu Qingfeng suppressed the urge to immediately decode the 'Lifespan Extension Pill' and looked at the corpse in front of him.
This corpse was a huge butterfly, its wings colored brown-orange with black veins and edges, and along the edges were two strings of fine white dots. Near the base of the forewings were some orange spots.
