Da Xuan Martial Saint

Not far away, Kun Jie, who struggled to climb out from the sand dune, also watched this scene with a shocked expression.

"Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique, Jin Ye has actually mastered it... No, there are flaws, he forced the transformation using Wu Li's Demon Heart. He probably won't live long after performing it, but such demonic power, maybe..."

He stared intently at the moment Jin Ye charged towards Chen Mu.

However.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, and even as the Qiankun Eight Phases flowed endlessly, his previously slightly pale face also returned to normal. Facing Jin Ye's furious charge, he still threw out a Fist Seal.

"A pearl, too, can shine."

Jin Ye's terrifying demonic power was almost dense enough to solidify, comparable to the experts on the Wind Cloud List, and even subtly surpassing the Power of Heaven and Earth that Chen Mu was drawing upon at that moment. However, when the two forces collided, they were worlds apart.

One could see Chen Mu's strike, which condensed thunder, lightning, water, and fire within the Eight Phases Wheel Seal, effortlessly crush Jin Ye's rolling demonic power, plowing forward, and ultimately striking him squarely in the chest and abdomen, blowing a through-and-through hole!

Jin Ye's blood-red pupils stared wide, seemingly in disbelief.

"This... is im...possible..."

Even though his demonic power was not inferior to the Power of Heaven and Earth that Chen Mu was wielding, upon collision, the effect was even worse than what Kun Jie had experienced, Chen Mu's strike instantly shattered it!

The hole through his chest and abdomen momentarily solidified for a breath's time, then his body could no longer withstand the out-of-control demonic power, exploding from head to toe, his flesh scattering among the sand dunes.

Chen Mu looked on indifferently, stepping over Jin Ye's shattered corpse, and approached the still gasping Kun Jie.

Demons' power, the Power of Heaven and Earth, unless it reaches an absolutely overwhelming level, its abundance can not determine victory or defeat. Even thirty portions of spotty and scattered demonic power can't compare to ten portions of Solidifying Refinement focused into one point of demonic power's strength.

This principle he had understood for a long time, but now he experienced it more directly and clearly.

Cultivating the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal to the Fourth Layer, his condensation and control of the Power of Heaven and Earth could almost reach the peak of the same Realm. Naturally, Jin Ye's huge but difficult-to-control patchy demonic power seemed inconsequential in front of him. Discover hidden tales at empire

"Cough, cough..."

Kun Jie struggled to support his body, staggering to stand on the sand dune, his aura had already declined severely. Looking at Chen Mu, he revealed a bitter smile and said, "Qiankun Artistic Conception, it truly is powerful, worthy of being the pinnacle of Human Race Martial Arts. You are just in the Five Viscera Realm, yet you managed to kill so many of us Mysterious Corpses and Great Demons, making it tough to match you... That Zuo Qianqiu is simply incomparable to you..."

Beneath the fine black scale armor on his cheeks, streaks of fresh blood seeped out. He raised his hand to touch the blood on his face and looking at Chen Mu, who was walking closer, he didn't try to flee, just stared at him and cackled strangely.

"However... I heard that the Qiankun Artistic Conception, since the Da Xuan Martial Emperor established it, no one in the past hundreds of years has succeeded in the third step, and very few even broke through to Grandmaster. Many talented people have fallen on this path. You dared to choose this path, admirable for your courage and comprehension..."

"All those who fell on this path, did so due to insufficient lifespan. With such talent and courage, if you were to join the Sky Demon Sect, the Elders would certainly be willing to recreate a Demon Corpse for you. Then you could wield Qiankun with a Demon Body, and there might even be a chance to surpass the Da Xuan Martial Emperor, and to enjoy a prolonged life..."

Splat.

Chen Mu's right hand formed a blade, piercing straight through Kun Jie's chest.

"I don't need it."

He looked indifferently at Kun Jie.

Kun Jie looked down at the hole in his chest, feeling his vitality rapidly fading. As he fell backward, he burst into loud laughter: "You, now in the Five Viscera Realm, still have a sliver of a chance, but once you reach the Six Viscera Realm, you'll have no opportunity to be remade into a Demon Corpse, hahaha... Not choosing the path of the Sky Demon Sect, even if you cultivate to the Blood Exchange and become a Martial Saint, you'll have at most two to three hundred years of life. Our Sky Demon Sect is the future... I'll be waiting for you in the Netherworld..."

Hiss.

A line of blood appeared right in the center of his head, and his voice ceased suddenly.

"Noisy."

Chen Mu's gaze remained indifferent as he lowered his hand.

Lifespan?

To live longer by degenerating into something half-human, half-demon like the Sky Demon Sect, that was absolutely impossible for him.

He was born a human, upright and proper, how could he become a monster!

In the midst of the sand disaster causing chaos at the Border Pass, disregarding the suffering of the living, consuming people for Corpse Refinement and utterly abandoning morality, he was determined to eradicate all these Evildoers in his lifetime!

Kun Jie's words seemed like a proposition, but in reality, they were the last venomous words before his death, attempting to destroy Chen Mu's Martial Arts resolve.

But Chen Mu's Martial Arts resolve had long since been clear and firm, how could it be easily shaken?

With his incredible talent and comprehension, he needed only to continue his Cultivation step by step, and he would inevitably ascend to the summit of Martial Arts, becoming invincible in the world, without needing any sort of Demon Body or extended lifespan to help him understand Qiankun!

After giving Kun Jie's corpse a cold glance, he once again formed his hand into a blade and swiftly struck a few times, cutting it into pieces, then searched the body. Soon he found a palm-sized booklet on it.

He flipped it open for a look.

It contained various Prescriptions, mostly using the flesh and blood of different demons as materials, secret techniques for transforming a human body into a half-demon form, layered with tempting phrases like 'enhance Qi-Blood,' 'extend lifespan,' and more.
