The Demon Slayer Monk said, "I don’t like hypotheticals. I’ll bet that you can’t do it. If you manage to, I’ll put my life at stake!"

As he spoke, the Demon Slayer Monk rose from the ground and said, "But if you can’t, I’ll be taking your head today!"

After saying this, Chen Jie’s expression instantly became solemn; the Demon Slayer Monk was indeed troublesome. At this moment, Chen Jie slowly stood up, and he could feel intense pain throughout his internal organs. However, his Life Force was furiously pouring into his body, aiding his rapid recovery from the injuries.

Chen Jie then directly tossed two Tai Sui Pills into his mouth, and bit down, letting the pill’s energy flood into his body.

Meanwhile, the Demon Slayer Monk extended his hands, promptly drawing in the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy within a meter radius to recover quickly.

Seeing this, Chen Jie was momentarily stunned before realizing the most basic application of the Melt God Realm’s Martial God Domain, which can instantly capture the nature’s spiritual energy within the domain to replenish oneself.

At this moment, the Demon Slayer Monk instantly absorbed the nature’s spiritual energy within the Martial God Domain to recoup himself.

The body’s state recovered rapidly, Chen Jie frowned tightly but found himself helpless, unable to do anything except watch the Demon Slayer Monk recover. Of course, the recovery speed was still far slower than the speed of Chen Jie’s Life Force.

Chen Jie then imitated the Demon Slayer Monk, activating his Martial God Domain for the first time. He wasn’t familiar with it, but upon activation, Chen Jie suddenly discovered that everything within a one-meter radius outside his body was within his control.

He could perceive the sensations of everything outside his body within that meter.

Even the nature’s spiritual energy permeating the air — the blazing fire spiritual energy, the cold and moist water spiritual energy, the sharp metallic attribute spiritual energy, and the vitality-filled wood attribute spiritual energy.

And the weighty, mountain-like Earth Attribute spiritual energy.

There were also two types of elusive and unpredictable spiritual energy particles, indeed, the most mysterious Yin Yang particles of this world.

Chen Jie sensed the distribution of spiritual energy in the air, and promptly stretched out his hand to begin absorbing fire and wood attribute spiritual energies.

Thanks to the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, Chen Jie could swiftly absorb and convert these fire and wood attributes using the Summer Technique and Spring Word Technique.

Chen Jie and the Demon Slayer Monk started competing in recovery; soon, both regained their strength. Chen Jie then possessed enough power to erupt with a Peak-level Zhu Rong Divine Fire Palm once more.

At this moment, Chen Jie raised his head to look at the Demon Slayer Monk, who immediately sensed the impending danger and no longer acted rashly, but directly displayed the Esoteric Supreme Light Body Technique in place.

Earth Store Nine Transformations

Once this Qinggong was executed, the Demon Slayer Monk transformed into multiple afterimages on the spot, dodging and shifting with maximum movements. Chen Jie launched a palm strike that did not hit him, throwing him into a completely passive position.

Because even though Chen Jie could use Tai Sui Pills and absorb the drifting spiritual energy in the air, he was unable to recover his state rapidly.

Sensing Chen Jie’s predicament, the Demon Slayer Monk laughed heartily, "Chen Jiusi, hahaha, you’re just so-so. Come on, you have only one chance with a palm strike, if you execute it, the outcome is determined."

"If you hit me, I’ll admit defeat today. If you miss, hahaha..."

The Demon Slayer Monk’s face brimmed with smiles and killing intent as he said, "You’ll be dead without a doubt today."

"Of course, you can choose not to strike, but be cautious if I get close to you. If I seize the opportunity to approach, I’ll deal you a fatal blow. Therefore, you have hardly any choice today."

"Chen Jiusi, will you make your move?"

As he spoke, the Demon Slayer Monk stepped closer to Chen Jie, and he was correct. If he got near, Chen Jie’s chance of winning would diminish. Keep in mind, the Demon Slayer Monk’s cultivation technique is the Dragon Elephant Wisdom, which is nearly invincible in close combat.

Chen Jie relies on the powerful might of the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, avoiding close combat to stand a chance of victory.

But now, he’s struggling to aim accurately with the Esoteric First Light Body Technique, Earth Store Nine Transformations, and if forced into close combat using Dragon Elephant Wisdom, Chen Jie would be thrown into crisis once again.

There’s no denying the Demon Slayer Monk is foul-mouthed, but his prowess is legitimately commendable, indeed, a peerless disciple directly taught by Basiba Living Buddha, possessing some true abilities.

Thinking like this, Chen Jie took a deep breath, indicating that this might be the most tenacious enemy Chen Jie has ever faced.

The heir of an Earthly Immortal, indeed remarkable. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

With this in mind, Chen Jie’s gaze slightly tautened when looking at the Demon Slayer Monk, his aura experienced a drastic shift.

Feeling the dramatic transformation in Chen Jie’s aura, the Demon Slayer Monk immediately became wary, pushing Earth Store Nine Transformations to its extreme.

This Earth Store Nine Transformations is the Esoteric Sect’s first-class Qinggong, also used by Living Buddha Basiba.

Living Buddha Basiba once competed with Master Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang in Qinggong, using this very Earth Store Nine Transformations, while Master Zhang Sanfeng utilized Wudang’s first Qinggong, Cloud Stepping.

As a result, the two were so thrilled that they directly soared off Wudang Mountain, with one step following the other, heading directly toward the moon.

Eventually, it’s unknown how high they flew, as if they broke into the clouds, taking an entire hour to recover. Afterward, they announced the Qinggong competition ended in a draw.
