The Sacrifice Spirit King had gone berserk!
Originally at the early fourth-stage awakened level, it surged directly to the peak of fourth-stage!
Boom!
At that moment, the Sacrifice Spirit King flashed in front of Chen Jie, a massive limb striking down in an instant…
Chen Jie quickly dodged.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After the King's strike missed, the ground where Chen Jie had stood cracked inch by inch, enormous fragments of stone flying in all directions.
Several buildings were smashed to pieces.
Whoosh!
Taking advantage of the missed strike, Chen Jie swung the axe in the opposite hand.
The blade of the Open Heaven Axe cut directly into the King's tentacle.
"Clang!"
A crisp, metallic clash rang out.
It was as if the blade had struck steel.
The Sacrifice Spirit King's body had been greatly reinforced.
This single strike did nothing.
It couldn't even pierce the King's surface defense!
The powerful recoil sent Chen Jie's hands tingling and forced him to stagger back several steps.
"Xiao Jie, are you alright?"
Seeing him pushed back, Xia Wanrou asked with concern.
She summoned her Azure Scale Longsword, ready to fight alongside him.
"I'm fine. No need for you to help—give me some time!"
Chen Jie raised his hand to stop her.
He wanted to face the Sacrifice Spirit King alone.
Only by confronting such a powerful challenge could he truly improve his combat ability.
Right now, however, the King's defensive power in its reinforced state was terrifying.
Even Chen Jie's Open Heaven Axe couldn't normally break through it.
"Roar! Human, die!"
Before Chen Jie could catch his breath, another massive tentacle descended from above, stirring violent winds!
At this moment, Chen Jie had no time to dodge.
Two strands of Hongmeng Purifying Qi surged protectively around him, forming a massive shield.
"Bang!"
The force of the impact echoed through the sky!
This strike sent Chen Jie flying.
Yet the Sacrifice Spirit King remained completely unaffected, retracting its tentacle to strike again with another.
"Hahaha, human, enjoy the process of your death!"
Seeing Chen Jie forced to defend, the King grew even more arrogant.
Its body rippled as it surged forward again.
"Hoo hoo~"
Chen Jie stood, taking a couple of breaths.
His blood boiled within him, as if only such battles could fully awaken the Pangu bloodline within.
The Sacrifice Spirit King's defense was too strong!If he couldn't break it head-on, killing it would be impossible.
There was only one option—repeat the technique he had used against the Rat Man.
Fuse Hongmeng Purifying Qi with the Open Heaven Axe.
And, if possible… add the Killing God Domain as well.
With this in mind, Chen Jie lifted the axe, sweeping his hand lightly over it. Two strands of Hongmeng Purifying Qi attached themselves to the blade.
Focusing his eyes, a blood-red aura appeared on the weapon.
This was the effect of attaching his domain to his weapon.
In an instant, the Open Heaven Axe underwent a qualitative transformation!
A torrent of killing intent surged through it, its body radiating bloodthirsty red light—truly terrifying.
It was fused!
Chen Jie exhaled slowly.
Now, he would test this fused Open Heaven Axe!
After all that had happened the previous night, the Sacrifice Spirit King's attack came again…
A tentacle, thicker and stronger than before, whipped the wind as it slammed straight at Chen Jie's face!
"Leap!"
Chen Jie flashed to the right, narrowly avoiding the strike.
He flipped in midair, his body spinning like a high-speed top with the axe in hand.
The crimson blade illuminated the entire park.
"Open Heaven, Split Earth!"
"Boom!"
"Shhh!"
The Open Heaven Axe cut ruthlessly through the King's strike.
This single blow easily sliced through its body, severing its tentacle.
A torrent of black blood gushed from the wound, spraying like a firehose!
Moreover, under the Killing God Domain, the wound couldn't heal quickly.
"Now, it's my turn to counterattack!"
Chen Jie grinned, raising the axe for another strike.
"Damn human!"
For the first time, the Sacrifice Spirit King felt pain.
Regardless of replacing its severed tentacle, it struck Chen Jie again.
Chen Jie didn't dodge, meeting the attack head-on with a swing that cut through the air.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The clash erupted, reverberating across the park.
In less than three minutes, the Sacrifice Spirit King was covered in wounds.
Thanks to the Killing God Domain, its body couldn't regenerate.
Its blood drained little by little, and its strength gradually diminished.
"Damn it!!!"
The King raged, fighting Chen Jie with all its might.
As a powerful deformed monster, it would never allow a human to stand over it.
Immediately…
The park shook again. Around Chen Jie, vegetation and buildings were uprooted and shattered!
For a full five minutes, the battle raged.
Every tentacle of the Sacrifice Spirit King was cut off by Chen Jie, most only half remaining.
At this point, the King was completely on the defensive.
It could no longer confront Chen Jie head-on.
"Human, I will remember you!"
The Sacrifice Spirit King glared at Chen Jie, spitting out a massive plume of black mist.
It then rapidly shrank its body, attempting to use the mist as cover to flee.
After all, it could absorb energy continuously via the sacrifices.
Revenge could wait.
Sensing something wrong, Chen Jie immediately transferred the Hongmeng Purifying Qi to his eyes.
Golden light flashed from his eyes as he scanned for the King's position.
"Trying to run?"
Soon, Chen Jie locked onto the Sacrifice Spirit King.
"Whoosh!"
With a single displacement, Chen Jie appeared before it.
"Human, must you exterminate me completely?"
The King glared with hatred.
Before Chen Jie could speak, two streams of black, corrosive slime shot from its mouth.
The deadly substance could have killed him instantly.
But Chen Jie remained vigilant.
A simple flick of his body dodged the ambush with ease.
"You can die now!"
Chen Jie raised his axe and swung down…
"Shhh!"
The Sacrifice Spirit King's body was split in two instantly.
"Human, you shall die! I swear by the Sacrificial Spirits, may you never find peace!!!"
The King's scream echoed through the sky.
Two streams of black resentment rose.
Chen Jie didn't give it a chance to linger. The Hongmeng Purifying Qi transformed into golden dragons.
With one sweep…
The resentment was completely annihilated!
Successfully slaying the Sacrifice Spirit King, five beams of different-colored light appeared on its octopus-like body.
Countless spirit crystals erupted from its corpse.
The reward was staggering!
Ten times, even a hundred times greater than all the deformed monsters he had slain before!
Chen Jie sheathed the Open Heaven Axe and hurried forward to inspect…
