We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

hoo hoo hoo!
The dragon roared repeatedly, its shrieks shaking the heavens. In a flash, it transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Su Chen.

Enraged, the dragon completely forgot to use its demonic power and blood energy, and instead charged at Su Chen head-on with its bare hands.

Don't forget, he is a demon. In addition to being able to use demonic power, his physical strength is in no way weaker than that of the Heaven-Severing Blade.

Although he was furious, he did not lose his mind. The previous exchange made him realize that if he relied solely on his demonic power, he might not be a match for Su Chen and the Broken Sky Blade. Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to use his physical strength to catch Su Chen off guard.

The dragon's body was as massive as a mountain peak hundreds of feet high, traversing space as it charged forward.

This is a pure physical attack, without any supernatural power involved, but the power it contains should not be underestimated. When it comes, even from ten thousand meters away, you can feel the fierce wind rushing towards you, making your skin sting.

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of the dragon, Su Chen did not give up using the Heaven-Severing Blade, but instead swung it out with a dazzling blade of light.

Without the restriction of mountains, the moment this blade of light cleaved open, it truly felt like the heavens and earth were being torn apart. An unparalleled radiance pierced through the sky and crashed into the dragon's body with lightning speed.

Boom boom boom!
Like the astonishing noise of tens of thousands of iron objects colliding simultaneously, a deafening sound resounded throughout the world at the moment of impact.

Su Chen and the dragon, who were in the middle of it, were fine, but Yun Xi, who was watching from the side, was shocked and her mind was shaken by the sound waves even though she used her Yuan Power to shield her hearing. Her blood surged and she retreated violently, retreating more than a thousand meters away.

She managed to steady herself with great difficulty, but her eyes dared not relax for a moment, staring intently at the misty cloud in front of her.

Bang bang bang!
The battle ahead became exceptionally fierce.

After only a brief clash, the two sides resumed their confrontation.

"This... Su Chen's physique is actually this strong!"

When Yun Xi saw Su Chen wielding the Heaven-Severing Blade, transforming into a swordsman to fight the dragon purely with his physical strength, her beautiful face showed astonishment. She could hardly believe what she was seeing. It was one thing for Su Chen to be strong, but his blood and physique were also so powerful.

“His cultivation level is only at the Great Perfection of Divine Power, but his true strength is already no weaker than He Qiu's and mine. In terms of blood and qi, he surpasses He Qiu and is directly comparable to this blood and qi dragon that has cultivated thirty-three divine powers. In terms of physique, his physique is no worse than those demons at the Perfection of Divine Power. Is this guy really a new disciple who has only been in the Ziyang Sect for less than three months?”

Yun Xi was speechless with surprise, her heart surging with emotion. Just when she thought Su Chen was limited to this point, he would suddenly give her a surprise, letting her know that his limits were not limited to this.

Boom boom boom!
"Oh no, a demonic tide is coming!"

As she was watching, Yunxi was suddenly startled. The demonic tide around her was getting closer and closer, less than a hundred miles away from Demon Cave Mountain.

If Su Chen and the dragon were allowed to continue their fierce battle, the demonic tide would likely surround them before the battle was even over.

She wanted to remind Su Chen, but the battle between the human and the demon was quite intense at the moment, and reminding him now would only distract him.

Looking around, he didn't see any disciples from other sects, but he could tell from the sounds coming from all directions that they were probably engaged in a fierce battle just like Su Chen and the dragon, completely unaware of the approaching demon tide.

"This can't go on. I need to find an opportunity to secretly help Su Chen kill the dragon!"

Yunxi quickly came up with an idea, and Su Chen dared not be distracted, as did the dragon.

Now all that's needed is an opportunity. Once she seizes it, she can take advantage of the situation and help Su Chen kill the dragon.

Yun Xi looked ahead at Su Chen and the dragon, who were fighting fiercely. The mountains around them had been leveled in the intense collision, and dust billowed into the sky, swirling up with the two intersecting figures.

"The opportunity has come!"

Suddenly, Yunxi, who was completely focused, found an opportunity to make a move. The Yuan energy that had been gathering around her surged out like a tide, turning into three red petals that spun rapidly. Just as she was about to unleash the petals, she was suddenly stunned by the scene before her.

Not only did she seize the opportunity, but Su Chen did as well, and he acted even faster than her. Just before she could condense her divine power, Su Chen released a chaotic power comparable to a sea of ​​clouds, instantly enveloping the figures of the human and the demon. It seemed that he did not intend to let Yun Xi make a move and was preparing to deal with the other party himself.

Upon seeing this, Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Su Chen had no intention of confronting the dragon head-on. Instead, he had been waiting for an opportunity to kill it. After all, the dragon's blood and physique were incredibly strong, so how could Su Chen possibly play to his weaknesses and avoid his strengths?

"what!"

Sure enough, after the primordial energy enveloped the figures of the human and the demon, a heart-wrenching sound came from within.

"You bastard, I'll take you down with me!"

Upon hearing this voice, Yun Xi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately felt her heart leap into her throat, her face filled with worry, and she wanted to rush in to rescue Su Chen.

The self-destruction of a powerful expert at the Divine Power Realm should not be underestimated; its power is terrifying.

Martial artists below the Lesser Completion of the Divine Power Realm are alright. Their cultivated divine powers are not strong. Even if they were to self-destruct, as long as they are careful, they might be able to avoid it in advance and remain unharmed.

However, it is not so easy to avoid the self-destruction of a martial artist who has reached the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm.

Even a master of the Divine Power Realm at its peak wouldn't dare to be careless when facing the self-destruction of a master of the Divine Power Realm, because they could easily be affected and injured if they weren't careful.

The self-destruction of a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Power Realm is even more powerful, capable of destroying a large city. Not only would experts of the same realm be unable to withstand it, but even a newly ascended Martial Immortal would have no choice but to retreat and flee. If they were to confront it head-on, they would ultimately suffer injuries.

This question was known not only to Yun Xi, but also to Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao.

So when the dragon was about to self-destruct, Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao attacked simultaneously, flanking it from both sides. One stopped the dragon from self-destructing, while the other mobilized the power of chaos to refine the dragon.

After all, even if a demon were to self-destruct, it would still need to draw upon its own internal energy, and the primordial energy has a suppressive effect on the demon's power, making it the most appropriate tool to use to stop it.

"How can it be!"

Sure enough, when Su Chen's Primordial Chaos Power invaded the dragon's body, it was greatly surprised. Its voice trembled, and its huge eyes stared at Su Chen with disbelief.

"You, how come your Yuan Power can suppress my demonic power!"

That's what truly shocked him.

After the fight, he was no match for Su Chen and the Broken Sky Blade. He intended to leave, but Su Chen relentlessly pursued him.

Having witnessed the power of this man and his sword, the dragon naturally did not want to continue the stalemate. If this continued, he would be the one to die. He had finally broken the Heavenly Demon Seal and was preparing to go out and enjoy life. How could he sit and wait for death?

However, faced with the two men's attack, he was caught in a dilemma. Even worse, he was hit by them while trying to escape and was injured.

Seeing that he was injured, the two men became even more aggressive, determined not to stop until they killed him.

Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, intending to perish together with the two men.

In reality, he was just fooling the two of them and putting on an act.

He thought that after hearing his resolute words, the two would at least have some reservations, even if they didn't stop.

Unexpectedly, these two guys were complete lunatics. Upon hearing that he wanted to self-destruct, they became even more anxious than he was.

When they start fighting, they leave no room for compromise.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade intervened to stop him, while Su Chen wanted to finish him off as quickly as possible.

He naturally didn't take Su Chen's attack to heart, since he could easily self-destruct if he wanted to.

So he focused on dealing with the Heaven-Slaying Blade, trying to create an opening from its side.

But he never expected that Su Chen's Primordial Chaos Power would actually suppress the demonic power within him.

The instant the Primordial Chaos Power entered his body, his Yuan Power, which he could draw upon at any moment, suddenly became sluggish, and the Divine Power Seed, which could explode at any moment, also became unattainable under the invasion of the Primordial Chaos Power.

How could this not shock him?

Once you reach the Divine Power Realm, your greatest reliance isn't strength, but the ability to self-destruct!

Now, even though he is at the peak of the Divine Power Realm, he doesn't even have the right to self-destruct.

Doesn't this mean that his life is now completely in Su Chen's hands?
In an instant, a sense of fear welled up from the bottom of his heart. This was only the second time since he was born that he had felt such a fear of facing life and death.

This sense of fear did not come from a martial arts master, but from a martial artist who had achieved great mastery of supernatural powers.

That's absolutely absurd!
Bang bang bang!
Ignoring the dragon's despair, the Heaven-Severing Blade took advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration and severed half of his body.

As his body was severed in two, blood gushed forth, spraying towards the sky, but instead of falling, it was directly absorbed by the Heaven-Severing Blade.

"Hahaha, cool!"

Having absorbed and refined most of the dragon's vital energy, the Heaven-Slaying Blade couldn't help but let out a long roar.

This long roar completely aroused the dragon, causing the last bit of concern in his heart to vanish.

He glared at Duan Tiandao and Su Chen, roaring, "This time, I'm really going to fight you to the death!"

Su Chen: “???”

Broken Sky Blade: "???"

The dragon's determination was fully revealed through its actions. With its blood boiling, it wanted to eliminate the primordial power within its body and reactivate the seed of divine power. However, Su Chen had anticipated this, and an even greater primordial power pressed down and poured into the dragon's body.

"Refining!"

Then came Su Chen's extremely cold voice. As endless primordial power surged into it, the dragon completely lost control of its body.

At this moment, he was like an observer, watching his body being refined by the power of chaos from the sidelines.

His body seemed to be in a furnace, flowing not with blood and qi, but with primordial energy. What was even more terrifying was that this primordial energy, once refined, was inexhaustible, continuous, and boundless, forming its own system and perfectly natural.

"No!"

The dragon knew that if things continued like this, it would really be refined by Su Chen. In the face of life and death, it desperately tried to resist. Since the divine power seed could not self-destruct, it would self-destruct its primordial spirit.

However, if the former self-destructs, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival, while if the latter self-destructs, he will die without a doubt and there will be no chance of resurrection. But now that things have come to this, he can't care about these things at all. Anyway, we are going to die, so let's all die together!
"Soul Searching Technique!"

Unfortunately, Su Chen had anticipated this. The dragon was always a step behind, and before it could even make a move, Su Chen unleashed the Soul Searching Technique.

What he valued was not only the dragon's blood and qi, but also the thirty-three blood and qi supernatural abilities it cultivated.

"what!"

Under the Soul Searching Technique, the dragon's body and mind were completely lost. His primordial spirit became transparent, and his body was completely occupied by Su Chen's Primordial Chaos Power. Before long, he would be completely refined by Su Chen.

The dragon realized this, but it was too weak to stop him. It could only watch helplessly as Su Chen devoured its primordial spirit and consumed its divine power seed.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the dragon's consciousness completely vanished, leaving only an empty shell.

However, Su Chen, who had obtained the dragon's body and supernatural powers, did not show much joy. Instead, he looked anxious.

He disregarded refining the dragon's memories in his mind and directly put the dragon's corpse into the gourd in front of Duan Tian Dao. Then he said to Duan Tian Dao, "Duan Tian Dao, I need to refine your divine power to protect me!"

"Alright!" Duan Tian Dao quickly responded, then came to Su Chen and enveloped him with his divine power.

This refining process didn't last long, only about half an hour.

Because of the pervasive presence of primordial energy, Yunxi, who was outside the area, had no idea what was happening.

She heard the dragon's miserable cries coming from inside, but they disappeared shortly afterward. She assumed that Su Chen had dealt with the dragon, but Su Chen did not come out for a long time, and Yun Xi's expression became more and more anxious.

What exactly happened inside?

Su Chen didn't come out, nor did the Heaven-Severing Blade, and the Flood Dragon either, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

Releasing one's primordial spirit is completely useless; it makes it impossible to perceive the situation inside.

She wanted to rush in and take a look, but she was afraid of affecting Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao.

"Yunxi, the demon tide is coming! Run!"

Just as Yunxi was hesitating, Xiangcheng's voice came from not far away.

Yunxi then realized that the demon tide was less than ten miles away from them and could attack at any moment.

Upon hearing Xiang Cheng's words, Yun Xi subconsciously looked over and saw that Xiang Cheng and the others were already planning to join forces to break through one of the directions and escape the encirclement of the demon tide.

She gritted her teeth, but ultimately shook her head and refused, saying, "You guys go first!"

"What are you doing?" Xiang Cheng looked at Yun Xi suspiciously, not understanding why Yun Xi was still hesitating.

Just as Yunxi was about to answer, she suddenly sensed a strange and chilling aura erupting like a volcano that had been suppressed for millions of years. Although she had never seen such a sinister and terrifying aura before, Yunxi's pretty face immediately paled with horror when she noticed it.

"It's a Heavenly Demon!" (End of Chapter)
