The might of a divine being was truly terrifying.
With a single strike, heaven and earth collapsed, and the rampaging energy ripples formed a mushroom cloud like an ocean.
The colossal Heavenly Demon Temple was instantly reduced to ruins, a scene of devastation.
Fortunately, this was Dragon Tiger Mountain, an extraordinary place. In any other location, the entire mountain might have been obliterated.
Ji Mo's figure appeared ten thousand meters away, choosing to evade rather than confront directly.
Compared to before, he was a tad more cautious, after all, this was a demon god.
The unfortunate Han Qian, naturally, could not escape and was turned to dust.
He had intended to summon the Heavenly Demon Chi Yan to gank Ji Mo, but unexpectedly, he himself was eliminated.
"Kill!"
Chi Yan roared and once again attacked Ji Mo, his divine power soaring to the heavens like a cascading galaxy.
Ji Mo still evaded.
He scratched his head and murmured, "Strange, have I become arrogant? It feels like these so-called gods are nothing special."
"Ji Mo, why are you dodging? Weren't you very arrogant just now? Are you chickening out now?"
Chi Yan laughed wildly, believing Ji Mo to be cowardly and only capable of fleeing in disarray.
Ji Mo looked up at Chi Yan, remaining silent, and simply extended his index finger, beckoning towards him.
"Arrogant! Don't you dare dodge if you have the guts."
Chi Yan's divine power surged, and he brandished his fists. Terrifying fist intent permeated the sky as he swooped down from mid-air.
This time, Ji Mo did not dodge. Instead, he met the attack head-on, throwing a punch of his own.
*Boom...*
The two fists collided, and blinding divine light engulfed the area, causing the void to tremble.
As the light dissipated.
Ji Mo stood his ground, unmoving.
In contrast, Chi Yan was sent flying back a considerable distance, his right arm trembling violently as if afflicted with Parkinson's.
His tiger's mouth split open, and beads of crimson blood trickled down.
Chi Yan's eyes widened, staring at Ji Mo in disbelief and shock.
Although he was not a body cultivator and his physical body was his weakness, having cultivated to the divine level meant his skin and bones had been tempered countless times, making them incredibly tough.
Yet, in a direct clash with Ji Mo, he found himself at a disadvantage.
Even more astonishing was that Ji Mo had only used the strength of his body, without employing any other energy.
"You've got some substance, no wonder you dared to be so arrogant. I'll get serious now, and you'll soon understand my capabilities." Chi Yan's expression turned solemn, divine radiance surging all over his body. Dense demonic patterns covered his skin, and his body grew a size larger, revealing his strongest combat form.
Ji Mo said calmly, "You're not simple either, managing to block one of my punches. Then I'll get serious too, and let you feel the difference between us."
Hearing this, Chi Yan was furious enough to spit blood.
To be so underestimated and ridiculed, he was seeking death.
"Die for me..."
Chi Yan roared, demonic clouds churning in his palm. A pitch-black demonic blade appeared in his hand.
As the demonic blade emerged, it was accompanied by the wails of ghosts and howling spirits. Dark radiance shot into the sky, and the world lost its color.
This was a divine weapon, one that had slain countless beings. It exuded a decaying aura of death, and the swirling black mist instantly withered the surrounding vegetation.
Chi Yan swung the demonic blade, conjuring waves of runes. Several laws intertwined, and the blade's light crisscrossed, blindingly bright.
Ji Mo showed no fear. He did not draw a weapon, remaining bare-handed, and unleashed palm strikes to meet the attack.
"Heh, catching a divine weapon with bare hands? Have you been kicked by a donkey?"
Chi Yan sneered, unleashing his divine might. The demonic blade in his hand spewed even more terrifying light, intending to cleave Ji Mo into eight pieces.
However.
Ji Mo's fair palm was terrifyingly hard. Without any evasion, it directly collided with the demonic blade.
The sound of metal striking metal rang out, accompanied by brilliant sparks.
Ji Mo's palm remained unharmed, but the demonic blade actually developed a notch.
Who would have believed that Ji Mo's body was even tougher than a divine weapon?
Chi Yan's eyes nearly bulged out in shock.
Ji Mo formed a sword with his fingers, and void sword qi permeated the air. He struck with lightning speed, continuously hitting the demonic blade.
A terrifying event unfolded.
Under Chi Yan's stunned gaze, his weapon began to crack, and soon, cracks covered the entire blade.
With a deafening roar.
The demonic blade shattered, disintegrating into countless fragments.
Holding the bare hilt, Chi Yan's mind went blank.
What kind of monstrous anomaly was this?
"I'll spare you for today, we'll fight again another day."
Chi Yan's heart pounded with fear. He uttered a fierce threat and immediately turned to flee, his figure transforming into a streak of light that shot towards the sky.
This fellow was also cunning and experienced. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, he immediately tried to escape.
*Vroom!*
Heaven and earth shook violently, and the sounds of tiger roars and dragon cries suddenly erupted.
Two colossal phantom figures, a dragon and a tiger, ascended from Dragon Tiger Mountain, circling in the void and forming a powerful barrier that sealed all directions.
Ji Mo had been prepared. He had communicated with the domain of Dragon Tiger Mountain, cutting off all of Chi Yan's escape routes.
Coming was easy, but leaving would not be possible.
"Damn it, I've fallen into Ji Mo's trap."
Chi Yan struggled with all his might but could not break through the barrier. His heart sank to the bottom.
He was covered in cold sweat, believing he had fallen into Ji Mo's snare and was now trapped like a turtle in a jar.
"Heh heh, you chose the wrong path. You walked into hell when paradise was before you."
Ji Mo rubbed his hands, his face filled with excitement, and pounced forward.
It was truly a case of needing sleep and someone bringing a pillow. With his body's evolution at 99%, absorbing Chi Yan should allow him to reach 100%.
He chased, and Chi Yan fled.
Chi Yan was in a panic, and Ji Mo grinned.
Chi Yan struggled and resisted desperately, while Ji Mo forcefully subdued him.
"Ji, what are you doing?"
Chi Yan's scalp tingled, and he tried desperately to dodge.
Ji Mo was inhuman, actually activating the Heavenly Demon Seal to absorb his primordial divine power.
"What are you dodging for? If you're a man, face me head-on."
Ji Mo was incredibly excited, clearly feeling his body's evolution rate slowly increasing. The blood in his body flowed like a torrent, almost boiling.
"You demon, absorbing my origin, using me as nourishment to increase your cultivation. Even if I die, I won't let you succeed. We can perish together!"
Chi Yan's face contorted in a ferocious roar.
He directly burned his essence, spirit, and energy, his body erupting with brilliant light, and terrifying power surging.
Chi Yan's eyes were dazzling, laws coiled around his entire body, and a pair of horns emitted destructive light, becoming savage.
Ji Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, exerting force with his feet, and his body instantly vanished from its position.
The next second.
He was in front of Chi Yan, punching like the wind, devastating everything in his path.
"Ah..."
Chi Yan let out a series of piercing screams. He was sent flying, his body riddled with holes, and divine blood continuously spilled.
Even his indestructible divine personality was shattered, transforming into the purest energy, falling as a rain of light.
Ji Mo stood against the wind, bathed in the light rain, absorbing all of Chi Yan's power.
He shivered abruptly, his body trembling.
It felt as if something within him had shattered.
*Ding!*
His brow suddenly emitted a dazzling radiance, a beam of light shooting into the sky, shattering the dark clouds above.
"Opening spiritual apertures, forging the foundation of the Dao. This... this is just the beginning of cultivation?!"
The dying Chi Yan was stunned, staring intently at Ji Mo, utterly disbelieving.
