May I Ask, Master's Wife—Does This Disciple Have Saint Grade Potential?

This Emperor was truly foolish, truly. I had thought that all living beings in this world possessed normal desires. Who would have thought I would encounter one who was completely abnormal today?!

For the third time, the Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor, whose body had turned gaseous, thought groggily.

When the little rat had just been trapped, a pretty young girl in golden armor appeared within the illusion. He had thought he would get to see the boy consumed by Burning Desire, but who would have guessed that the girl would vanish in a flash, replaced by a pool of Supreme Spirit Liquid.

Fine, if he was not interested in women but interested in money, that was no problem.

After the Supreme Spirit Liquid appeared, all kinds of cultivation resources emerged one after another. Then, even the throne of the Spiritual Mountain's Mountain Lord appeared!

Heh heh, this little rat's greed was truly heavy!

But then things went wrong. He had the most say regarding the suddenly appearing pile of hideous creatures—they were his fellow clansmen from the Outer Domain Evil Tribe!

Watching a group of clansmen take the initiative to provoke the other party, only to inexplicably explode, the Demon Emperor instinctively shuddered. There was something seriously wrong with this brat!

Sure enough, he was not disappointed. After dozens of evil demons vanished in the blink of an eye, what finally appeared was... the Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor himself!

His left hand pinched a demon heart, his right hand held a head, and with shy, timid eyes, he waved them at the other party as though seducing him into breaking his vows...

Yes! His Illusion Demon Tribe was indeed born with the ability to transform and beguile others, but that was a method only used by lowly ants with paltry cultivation!

At his level, where he dominated an entire region, aside from naturally promiscuous sluts, what Demon Emperor would willingly lower himself to use such methods to seduce an enemy?!

Unbearable. Absolutely unbearable!

Yet he had never expected that when he voluntarily released the Myriad Ancient Illusion Desire Cover and prepared to fight him to the death—

The brat opened his eyes with a smile, then pointed at the thirty-six sword flowers in the sky that had begun to bloom with light...

Another unavoidable Heaven and Earth Share Life occurred. This time, the Demon Emperor was even somewhat disheartened and did not wish to condense a demonic body again.

How could a dignified Demon Emperor suffer such humiliation from a junior?

Unfortunately, someone did not want to grant him that wish.

"Ah, where has that kindhearted Demon Emperor senior who was teaching me combat experience gone?

"He wasn't worn to death after being suppressed for fifty thousand years. Could he have been blown to death today by a rising star like me? But my Demon Slaying Token can't even collect demon souls."

The gaseous Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor turned a blind eye and refused to come out and make a fool of himself again.

Having reappeared in peak condition, Ye Kong could roughly guess how utterly broken that kindhearted Demon Emperor was inside. Seeing that taking out the Demon Slaying Token could no longer provoke him, he pulled out a Purple Gold Alms Bowl and tossed it into the air with a smile.

"Your vitality is simply too tenacious, Senior. This junior exhausted every method he had and still couldn't kill you, so I can only pick up a few scraps."

Purple light shone brilliantly like rosy clouds. The Merit Bowl rejoiced at the scent of demons and began violently devouring the demonic energy scattered everywhere.

At last, Ye Kong, who had finally managed to reap some gains, felt the joy of a bountiful harvest, his eyes shining.

"Bastard! What kind of demonic arts have you learned? Don't you cultivate orthodox Buddhist scriptures at all?! You're even greedier and more shameless than those bastards of the Demon Devouring Tribe!"

Discovering that the source of his power was being taken away, the Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor could not bear for a pure-blooded Evil Tribe Demon Emperor like himself to be devoured by someone else. He immediately recondensed his demonic body and reached for the Merit Bowl.

Just as he was about to arrive, a crack appeared in space. Ye Kong struck later yet arrived first, thrusting both palms forward through the void.

The Demon Emperor laughed arrogantly, mocking this brat who once again did not know his limits. Incomparably violent demonic energy surged from both arms.

Whatever. Since death was inevitable, he might as well kill this brat a few more times at any cost. Perhaps he might even have a chance to shatter his Dao Heart!

That claw was incomparably powerful. It tore "Ye Kong" apart on the spot, ripping him into a broken Swastika seal.

"Not good!"

The Demon Emperor sensed danger and tried to retreat, but it was already too late.

Dozens of "Ye Kongs" leaped out from the void and surrounded him. Each of them held a multicolored flower bud on the verge of blooming...

"Explosions are a man's art!"

In the distance, Ye Kong snapped his fingers with his back to the Demon Emperor. Listening to the thunderous boom behind him, he felt utterly refreshed.

This time, he finally did not have to go in himself and perish together with the enemy. Thanks to that bro Demon Emperor for refusing to come out for so long and giving him time to prepare.

The Alms Bowl continued working, devouring the wealth the Demon Emperor had left behind.

"Little beast! I will never rest until one of us is dead!"

This time, Ye Kong did not have to wait. The Demon Emperor, enraged beyond measure by the explosion, was nearly driven mad. Regardless of the cost, he recondensed his body and charged frantically toward Ye Kong.

Ye Kong frowned. He discovered that although the other party had weakened considerably, he still had less than an eighty percent chance of suppressing him. He could not help sighing, then pointed at the sky as the Demon Emperor approached, drawing down the eighteen Bodhi Flowers he had planted long ago.

"Never rest until one of us is dead, my ass! If your demon soul weren't absurdly tough, I would have blown you to death ten times already! Just wait, I'll show you what's what!"

The world that had endured wind and snow welcomed its fifth great explosion of the day. Bodhi Flowers bloomed and closed, and the two once again returned from death to life.

"This time, I should be able to take him down!"

Ye Kong, reborn for the fifth time, had grown somewhat tired of fighting this way and wanted to defeat him head-on.

The Demon Emperor felt stifled after dying together with him again and again, but was Ye Kong having an easy time of it?

Officer Ye had fought countless battles, large and small. When had he ever encountered such a stubborn opponent—one he could not beat head-on, yet who could survive even after perishing together with him?

No wonder so many ancient experts had failed to outlast them. These old demons were simply too hard to kill!

Seeing the Demon Emperor glare viciously at him with blood dripping from his eyes, Ye Kong made up his mind and shouted loudly.

"Old bastard, after I blew you up so many times, you must have long wanted to tear me into a thousand pieces. I, Ye Huan Kong, will give you that chance!

"Today, I'll let you witness the supreme true art of my Buddhist Sect—the Bodhi Self-Sacrifice Technique!"

Two crystal-clear Bodhi seeds flew from his sleeves and entered the illusory Bodhi Tree behind him. Instantly, its light flourished.

The Tree-Planting Technique he had learned from the Heaven-Reaching Ape Tribe displayed its might for the first time, rapidly ripening and enlarging the illusory Bodhi Tree, which had received an enormous infusion of energy, within only a few breaths.

"Those are Bodhi seeds produced by that old Buddha Emperor's Bodhi Tree? What are you trying to do?!"

Hearing the clearly self-explanatory name Bodhi Self-Sacrifice Technique, the Demon Emperor's face filled with horror. He instinctively recalled the Divine Phoenix Body Burning Technique used by that True Phoenix years ago and felt that he ought to flee first.

"Master's wife originally gave this to me to block your illusion. Since I didn't get to use it earlier, I naturally have to use it now!

"The fledgling phoenix's cry surpasses the old phoenix's; each generation is stronger than the last!

"I told you—you will definitely fall at the hands of a junior like me!"

The Bodhi Tree, now dozens of times larger, changed from illusory to solid. It burst into fierce flames from crown to trunk, pouring the most primordial Bodhi Vital Energy into Ye Kong.

Ye Kong's body also ignited with holy, translucent flames. His spiritual energy, fleshly body, Divine Soul, and Life Essence all burned at full force at this moment, granting him unprecedented power.

"This body-burning technique doesn't even hurt that much. Old bastard, take my sword!"

For the first time in his burning state, Ye Kong drew the Burying Buddha Tablet hidden within its scabbard. The divine sword's blade was crimson throughout, reflecting a chilling gleam as if thirsting for blood!

"Mad, this brat has gone mad! He actually dares to burn himself from the inside out. This Emperor won't risk my life fighting you head-on!"

After sensing a genuine threat to his demon soul from the flames on Ye Kong's body, the Demon Emperor cast aside all pride and turned to flee.

"Run? Where do you think you can run to?!"

"Weren't you so arrogant just now? Didn't you say you would teach me what it meant for a Demon Emperor to be invincible? Why are you running faster than a rabbit now? Where has a Demon Emperor's dignity gone?!"

Ye Kong flew with his sword, forming a sword seal with his fingers. He transformed into a radiant streak of light like a shooting star, crossing an endless distance as he pursued the Demon Emperor's fleeing back.

After dozens of clashes, the wildly dancing blood-colored sword light swept past the Demon Emperor's body and slashed downward. With absolute, overwhelming force, it crushed the Demon Emperor's blocking arms, forcing both knees to press intimately against the earth in an incomparably humiliating posture. He could no longer raise his head before Ye Kong.

Endless grief, fury, and pain surged onto the Demon Emperor's pale face as he roared.

"Ahhh! Junior! An Emperor cannot be humiliated! If you have the ability, kill me! Don't use such despicable methods to trample on my dignity!"

"If I could kill you, would I still need to wait until now?"

Ye Kong sneered coldly.

"If you want someone to blame, blame the Outer Domain Evil Tribe's vitality for being too powerful. Even with all my strength, I cannot kill you! If you were merely an ordinary fifth- or sixth-grade Venerate, I would have ground your bones to dust long ago!"

"If you refuse to accept this, then kill yourself! My Demon Slaying Token has been waiting for your demon soul for a long time!"

Before his words had faded, Ye Kong kicked out with his left leg. Using the force he normally used to shatter space, he unleashed Supernatural Footwork against the Demon Emperor's chest and abdomen, kicking shattered space fragments and sending him flying backward in ecstatic fury. Ye Kong also severed both demonic claws.

Ye Kong pressed his advantage, launching the Burying Buddha Tablet with a flying sword technique straight through the Demon Emperor's chest.

"Bodhi Demon Suppression!"

The Bodhi Tree, burning like a gigantic torch, flew above the Demon Emperor's head. It sprouted countless roots and transformed into a vast cage of white flames. With a thunderous crash, it suppressed him, sealing him completely.

"No!!!"

The now crippled Demon Emperor was engulfed by scorching radiance within the cage, howling miserably at the sky in pain.

Ye Kong ignored him, ended the body-burning technique, and cupped his hands toward the heavens with a clear laugh.

"May I ask, Master's wife, does this disciple's performance today show Saint Grade potential?"
