Challenging a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, a Madman

Chen Jie's decision to give up defending his title surprised everyone.

No one expected that he would so easily give up such a rare qualification to enter the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.

But upon further reflection, everyone felt relieved. The qualification to enter the secret realm was easily obtained by him and was not a difficult task at all.

The other holy sons and daughters, however, began to have their own doubts:

Although Chen Jie said to let them compete against others first, who knows if he might suddenly go crazy and go on stage again?

For the remainder of the competition, no holy sons or daughters from any of the sects took to the stage; only other cultivators participated.

Even those like Xu Cheng'an who wanted to fight the Holy Son and Holy Daughter remained inactive.

Only a few system hosts appeared one after another, and all of them achieved good results.

Liu Yi cracked open some spirit melon seeds while watching the spectacle with great interest.

Suddenly, he heard a cry of surprise. He immediately turned around and saw Chen Jie had already landed on the arena of a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator.

Li Kang was slightly taken aback when he saw Chen Jie suddenly appear on stage.

He had witnessed Chen Jie's battle just now, and the opponent's strength was indeed formidable. If he were still in the Nascent Soul Realm, he certainly wouldn't have been able to withstand a single move from him.

But now that he's already at the Early Spirit Transformation Realm, why would his opponent choose him over so many other Spirit Transformation Realm experts? Isn't that blatant disrespect?

He was furious and spoke coldly:

"Your combat strength is indeed outstanding among those in the Nascent Soul Realm, but you are ultimately only in the Nascent Soul Realm, far inferior to those in the Spirit Transformation Realm. If you know what's good for you, leave on your own, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie smiled proudly, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. Please feel free to make your move. I've been wanting to test just how strong the Spirit Transformation Realm is."

"You're truly ignorant and arrogant! Since you're so determined to die, I'll grant your wish."

Even if you are the Holy Son of the Chen Household, I will show no mercy.

Li Kang's eyes turned cold. He immediately took out Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact flying sword, used his Sword Control Technique to drive the flying sword straight towards Chen Jie.

He had witnessed Chen Jie's battle and knew that his opponent was a body-refining expert who excelled in close combat.

As long as I keep him at bay and attack from a distance using Sword Control Technique, I can easily win.

Chen Jie noticed the flying sword hurtling towards him like a meteor and instantly saw through his opponent's plan.

He smiled proudly, his feet moving with a mysterious footwork, his figure flashing to avoid the flying sword attack, while he quickly approached Li Kang.

The flying sword, imbued with sharp Sword Qi, relentlessly attacked Chen Jie like lightning, but he skillfully dodged it time and time again.

Chen Jie kept trying to get close to this Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator and engage in close combat, and the two were locked in a stalemate for a time.

Seeing that he could not break through after a long attack, Li Kang felt that he had lost face, so he immediately formed a hand seal and performed a sword incantation.

In an instant, the flying sword split into hundreds of Sword Qi, enveloping Chen Jie like a storm.

"Kill!"

Chen Jie's expression hardened, a Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact armor appeared on his body, and his aura suddenly exploded. He threw out both fists, and fist shadows filled the sky.

"Boom!"

The Sword Qi and the fist force collided with a deafening roar, and the aftershocks of the battle swept in all directions.

Suddenly, Chen Jie forcefully broke through the encirclement of Sword Qi, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Li Kang as fast as a ghost.

At this moment, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he had more than a dozen wounds on his body, from which blood gushed out.

He formed a fist with his hands and threw a punch, the force of which stirred up all directions.

The fierce and domineering fist force, carrying an overwhelming momentum, slammed straight towards Li Kang.

Li Kang was somewhat surprised to see that Chen Jie was able to break through the encirclement of Sword Qi. He hurriedly recalled his flying sword and formed a palm print at the same time.

A massive handprint, imbued with the power of the Spirit Transformation Realm, slammed towards Chen Jie with terrifying pressure.

"Boom!"

The fist and the palm struck each other violently, unleashing a deafening roar.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Jie moved closer to Li Kang, and the two figures instantly intersected, engaging in a fierce battle in the blink of an eye.

Li Kang wielded his sword and fiercely attacked Chen Jie, but the more he fought, the more alarmed he became.

Although he had the upper hand, his opponent was experienced in actual combat and reacted incredibly quickly, making it difficult to defeat him for the time being.

Chen Jie frowned as well. He hadn't expected that his opponent, who seemed to be the weakest Early Spirit Transformation, would be so powerful, and that he would be at a disadvantage.

When he thought about how Liu Yi could kill Spirit Transformation Realm while only at the Dao Seed Realm, his heart sank. It turned out that the gap between him and Liu Yi was much greater than he had imagined.

The arrogance that had arisen after taking first place in the Dao Image Realm immediately subsided somewhat.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. Seeing the flying sword coming, he dodged to the side without flinching or dodging, letting the sword tip pierce his Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact armor.

The violent impact and sharp Sword Qi instantly caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

But he seized the opportunity, reaching out to grab the other man's wrist holding the sword, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and grinned:

"Little mudskipper, I finally caught you."

Before he could finish speaking, a punch had already been thrown.

The fierce and domineering fist force shattered Li Kang's spiritual energy shield and slammed directly into him.

"You're insane! This is just a ring competition, not a life-or-death battle."

Although Li Kang was wearing Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact armor, he was still beaten so badly that he spat out blood and hurriedly used his other hand to block the blow.

However, once a body-refining expert gets close, the outcome is already predetermined.

Under the ferocious onslaught, his blocking arm was broken on the spot, his internal organs were severely injured, and he completely lost the ability to resist.

Chen Jie threw Li Kang onto the ring, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth and his wounds still bleeding.

He glanced around, and many people in his line of sight instinctively lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with him.

Even those at the Spirit Transformation Realm looked solemn, shocked by his mad and ruthless nature.

Liu Yi stared wide-eyed at Chen Jie, his mind racing with questions:

This guy is insane!

It was just a ring match, yet he disregarded his serious injuries and was determined to win against his opponent; his madness was even greater than mine.

I may occasionally act crazy, but I would never put myself through the wringer in such a situation.

One look in his eyes confirmed it; this guy was definitely a madman and a ruthless person.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems that every strong person harbors a madness deep within their bones.

Those who aren't crazy enough or hardworking enough will mostly find it difficult to reach the top.

Liu Yi himself didn't realize that Chen Jie's desperate efforts at this moment were precisely due to the pressure he brought.

Any ambitious and talented individual, upon learning of Liu Yi's achievements, would either completely give up or be driven even more insane.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

"Too strong! Chen Jie actually managed to defeat Spirit Transformation Realm. Although it can't compare to Liu Yi's achievement of killing Spirit Transformation Realm while still in the Dao Seed Realm."

But besides Liu Yi, he's also the first person to be able to defeat Spirit Transformation Realm expert across realms; that's truly impressive!

"Chen Jie is too domineering now! The value of the Dao Image Realm Combat Power Rankings in the Trial Tower is still soaring. It seems that in the future, the top spot on the Combat Power Ranking will be considered to have the strength to fight across borders."

None of the holy sons and daughters present dared to meet Chen Jie's gaze; they were genuinely terrified.

They probably don't know that a large number of system hosts are already waiting for them to take the stage, to challenge them, and to trample them underfoot.

"Chen Jie is indeed very strong, but he is still far inferior to Liu Yi."

As you've probably all seen, Liu Yi, when he was at the Dao Seed Realm, killed a Spirit Transformation Realm expert without sustaining a scratch.

Chen Jie, on the other hand, barely managed to defeat his opponent despite sustaining serious injuries.

"Don't you guys think Chen Jie is crazy? It's just a ring match, and he's seriously injured himself just to win."

"That's crazy enough. Is the reason I'm not strong enough because I'm not crazy enough?"
