Chapter 950: Chapter 582: Pinnacle of Combat Power, Lei Province Second Battle! (Double Chapter)

In his view, it was all his fault that led Song Changming into such a dangerous situation.

If something were to truly happen to Song Changming today, dying a thousand times could not make up for it.

"That’s enough." Song Changming directly stopped Song Ping’an from continuing.

"Your young master is highly capable and powerful, what could possibly happen? Be more careful in the future. If a similar situation arises again, even if I’m not at the estate, ensure that He Ya or Qingqing accompany you, understand?"

Song Changming himself had no intention of blaming Song Ping’an.

In his opinion, Song Ping’an had been sufficiently cautious by only acting within human territories.

However, the Insect King had deliberately planned out such a targeted scheme. Not to mention a mere Innate Martial Artist like Song Ping’an, even an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster would likely find it hard to escape this calamity.

This was not Song Ping’an’s fault at all.

Song Changming, through today’s events, also learned a lesson.

For similar matters, he must stay vigilant and completely eliminate the risks in the future.

Additionally, he realized he was too confident in his own strength, leading him to rush into this situation without much thought.

If he had first called upon Yuan San, with Yuan San’s strength as the Ancestor of the Yin Spirit, he might not have found himself in such a predicacy today.

"Stand up." Song Changming couldn’t bear to see Song Ping’an drowning in guilt, and said with a frown.

Song Ping’an initially wanted to say something more, but A Da beside him took it upon himself to pull him up, shaking his head at him.

Song Ping’an opened his mouth but eventually swallowed his words.

They were the ones closest to Song Changming and understood his temperament well.

Saying any more superfluous words would be meaningless and would only make Song Changming unhappy.

"Uncle Ping’an, let me take you to rest." A Da said.

"Have a good rest." Song Changming also added.

"Yes, Young Master." Song Ping’an’s brow furrowed tightly, but he ultimately agreed and left.

For him to come to terms with this, it would still take time.

"Young Master, no matter what, everyone is alright, that’s truly wonderful." Su Qingqing said with a smile from the side.

"Yes, yes, it’s just those insects are too vile! I still need to become even stronger!" Little Phoenix shouted from the side.

Song Changming also smiled slightly.

As Su Qingqing said, it’s truly fortunate that everyone was alright this time.

"We can’t go to the Baiding Realm in Yuan Province for the time being, but there’s a chance the Thunderstruck Mountain in Lei Province could change ownership!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingqing’s eyes lit up, understanding the hidden meaning in Song Changming’s words, and said, "I can also contribute this time, Young Master!"

Previously, during the Thunder Province battleground, her cultivation strength was still insufficient, so she couldn’t accompany Song Changming to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

But this time, she had become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, with a Great Demon’s Tao Practice protecting her. Her enhanced strength, although not enough to face a Great Demon King, was still a valuable high-level force on the battlefield!

"I want to go too, I want to go too." Regardless of whether Little Phoenix could understand, she wished to participate in whatever Su Qingqing wanted to do.

This time, Song Changming did not stop them.

Su Qingqing and Little Phoenix indeed had the qualifications to step onto the battlefield now.

He wouldn’t always shelter them; to become stronger, they had to accept the baptism of battle.

"Where is He Ya?" Song Changming suddenly asked.

"Sister He Ya has been in seclusion at Thunder Marsh for a while, and hasn’t returned yet." Su Qingqing replied.

If that weren’t the case, perhaps He Ya would have enacted revenge this time, since Ye Li Feige was also present back then.

Of course, even if she missed this chance, it won’t be long before He Ya’s moment of revenge arrives.

Before then, Song Changming should also rest and recover from the physical depletion incurred in this battle.

"A Er, prepare the medicinal bath." Song Changming instructed A Er beside him.

"Yes, Young Master." A Er immediately responded.

In the estate’s bathtub room, the medicinal soup rolled and emitted extremely dense pure Spiritual Qi. With the presence of a high level Spirit Gathering Array, it condensed without dispersing, appearing like a land of celestial spirits.

In the pool, Song Changming half lay, relaxing his whole body, his physique continuously drawing in the medicinal power and Spiritual Qi like a parched desert.

If an observant person saw this scene, they could surely surmise that this pool of medicinal soup must have been made with many immensely valuable spiritual objects.

An ordinary Martial Artist would gain tremendous benefit to their cultivation just by taking a sip, but Song Changming used it extravagantly for his bath.

This was the benefit of status and wealth.

All the wonders and treasures of the world can enter my treasury!

He didn’t even need to personally involve himself, as a group of subordinates managed these, ensuring a continuous influx of precious cultivation materials.

As more medicinal power nourished his entire body, Song Changming felt increasingly comfortable, unconsciously tilting his head back, closing his eyes, and letting out a long breath.

Reflecting on this earth-shattering battle, for him, it was not without its gains.

At least he finally understood the extent of his own power.

Opportunities to challenge such formidable foes were rare and extremely valuable.

"If I unleash all my methods, fighting the Insect King alone is not a problem, even when facing those five Tiger Kings, I can hold my ground..."

Closing his eyes, Song Changming muttered to himself, continuously replaying the entire process of that battle in his mind.

And that was about his limit.

Had Emperor Yun not arrived, and allowed those five Tiger Kings and the Insect King to continue entangling him, he would have been defeated. Even the concurrent deployment of Starlight and Moonlight Power wouldn’t save him.

Besides gaining a clearer understanding of his own strength, another gain was from what Emperor Yun gave him in the end.

Turning his right hand, a Great Demon King Heart Core, about the size of a head, appeared in his palm.

The Heart Core still contained a considerable amount of destructive Thunder Energy, forcing Song Changming to wrap it with Master’s Power.

Otherwise, even releasing a fraction of the Thunder Energy within would be enough to blow up his excellent bath pool.

The original owner of this Heart Core was none other than the mightiest Tiger King, Dai Carson, who was slain by Emperor Yun.

Emperor Yun knew very well that Song Changming needed these powerful and deeply practiced Great Demon ’legacies’ for his Body Refinement, so he didn’t take away this Tiger King Heart Core.

Instead, he handed both the corpse and this Heart Core to Song Changming for his cultivation.

In fact, without Song Changming’s efforts, even slaying that Tiger King would have been a nearly impossible task for Emperor Yun.

Therefore, awarding this Tiger King relic to Song Changming was entirely justified.

What Emperor Yun cared more about was the situation following Dai Carson’s demise.

"With this Tiger King’s corpse, my Body Refining Cultivation can surely see a significant improvement..."

Song Changming contemplated the Radiant Heart Core in his hand, calculating inwardly.

This time, the dual infusion of Star Energy from Starlight and Moonlight pushed his body to its limit, nearly fracturing under the strain.

Having experienced this, he was more eager to enhance the resilience of his physical body.

He certainly didn’t want his body to suddenly shatter amidst battle.

In the following days, Song Changming stayed at the estate, focusing on the refinement of this precious Tiger King’s blood and flesh essence, occasionally going to the Marshal’s Cabinet to handle the summarized military affairs presented by Lv Yuchen.

And so, more than half a month passed, bringing them to the end of January.

Spring was in full bloom, as emperors of the Three States reached a consensus, sending orders flying across the lands like snowflakes.

Human Race Army units immediately marched onto the land of Thunder Province!

The war that had lasted for thirty years had ended barely five years ago, yet signs of reigniting had already appeared.

The recuperation period was surprisingly shorter than anyone anticipated.

Previously, most believed that the peaceful days would last another ten or even several decades.

Who would have thought that the war was about to break out again!

Early February.

Numerous skilled scouts from the Human Race had already entered the territories of the Demon Race, initiating strategic explorations and surveys, while tensions escalated further.

In several places, Human Race scouts clashed with the demons of Lei Province, suffering casualties on both sides.

Mid-February.

The Human Race army pressed on, and the battle erupted completely!
