Tang Jie's crazy boasts caused immense confusion to appear in the eyes of the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor.

He had seen many formidable juniors before, but none of them had ever been so arrogant as to challenge him.

Moreover, the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor couldn't see any sort of reluctance in Tang Jie's eyes.

On the contrary, he saw excitement, like he was itching to fight!

The Fiend Emperor couldn't help but also start to get excited.

He chuckled. "Good, good! It's been a long time since I've seen such a pugnacious junior. It's no wonder Fengshan has been able to last until now. Sure enough, the more dangerous the time, the more heroes that emerge!"

Tang Jie smirked and was going to say that he had no connection to Fengshan at all, but he ultimately kept silent on that part, only saying, "If that's the case, then I welcome the Fiend Emperor's instruction. But once we exchange blows, the world will crumble around us, and we stand a good chance of turning the entire Inkcloud Abyss upside down. Why don't we change locations?"

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor narrowed his eyes. "'Our exchange of blows will cause the world to crumble'… Haha, you seem to have a rather high opinion of yourself. Fine, fine, I'm quite interested to see how many blows you can take. You'd better not get crushed to death without even making a splash. We don't even need to talk about making the world crumble if that's the case."

Tang Jie smiled. "I will do my best to not disappoint you."

He flew off.

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor turned and said, "You lot, get rid of the humans here and get the Umbra Cactus flower for this emperor. Anyone who dares to take it for their own or doesn't put in their best effort will be shown no mercy!"

He flicked his sleeve and went off after Tang Jie.

He flew so quickly that he almost instantly caught up to Tang Jie. "Little one, you fly too slowly."

Tang Jie harrumphed. "Tsk, I'm a body cultivator, not an expert in spell arts, so what's strange about me flying slowly?"

"The problem is that this speed isn't even enough to touch me, so how are you going to hurt me?" The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor laughed as he flew alongside Tang Jie, playing with him as a cat would a mouse.

Tang Jie replied, "There is no need for you to worry. Since this one dared to challenge Your Majesty, it was because I had some confidence."

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor fell silent.

He wanted to slap Tang Jie to death, but he was also interested in seeing what this guy had up his sleeve.

As a Divine Division great fiend, he had a heaven-reaching cultivation that placed him far above all the other denizens of the Verdant Cloud Domain. There was nobody above him and no trap that could harm him. His power made him bold, and he didn't fear any tricks that Tang Jie might have. Thus, he just followed Tang Jie, so bored that he even started a conversation.

Tang Jie didn't try anything, flying out of the Inkcloud Abyss and high into the sky before finally stopping. "This place will do."

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor looked around and then released his Divine Will. With his massive Divine Will, he instantly engulfed the area for five hundred kilometers around and confirmed that there were no traps. Of course, if there was some Violet Palace Titan lying in ambush, there was a chance that he might fail to detect them. But the chances of this weren't high. After all, fights between experts of their level would break the oath, and the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor was confident enough in his strength that he was sure he could escape, even if he couldn't win.

After confirming that everything was fine, he withdrew his Divine Will and looked at Tang Jie. "I have to say that at least you have courage. Use whatever you have. If I strike first, I'm afraid you won't get the chance."

Having grown back his arm, Tang Jie brought his hands together and bowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He took out a diagram.

With a shake of the diagram, a person emerged—his avatar.

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor trembled. "A miniature world!"

It was clear that he also understood the value of a miniature world.

After briefly gazing at the Mountain River State Diagram, the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor turned to the avatar, saying in realization, "So you had already refined an avatar, and it's at the Heart Demon Tier! not bad, not bad!"

"This isn't considered cheating, right?" Tang Jie asked.

"It's your own strength, so of course it's not cheating!" the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor proudly said. He was even more relaxed now that he knew his opponent's confidence lay in hidden strength. It was just a Heart Demon avatar, nothing much at all. On the other hand, he was greatly tempted by the treasure in Tang Jie's possession, and he was very happy about Tang Jie's choice of battlefield. If the fiend kings had been here, then once he had killed Tang Jie and taken his treasure, he would also have to permanently silence the witnesses. In this way, he had been saved a lot of trouble.

As these thoughts were going through his mind, a flabbergasting scene ensued: he saw Tang Jie's original body and avatar merging.

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor said in shock, "This is… the Dao of Parting and Merging? So you've already entered the Dao!"

He hadn't expected to be facing an expert who had entered the Dao.

Tang Jie chuckled and said, "So? Your Majesty, do I have the right to trade blows with you now?"

After a brief daze, the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor threw his head back and laughed, "Good, great, excellent! I've finally found a worthy opponent, letting me fight to my pleasure! Attack as you please, Tang Jie. Don't disappoint me!"

This was the demeanor of a top-class expert, feeling excitement rather than fear when encountering a powerful adversary.

Tang Jie glanced at the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor and said, "Then, please forgive me!"

As he spoke, a wind howled.

Pillars of black smoke burst through the air, and then the sky lit up with saber energy, crescent blades trailing chains descending from the sky. Wreathed in ice, fire, and lightning, they plummeted down with world-destroying power.

The Nine Heavens Calamity Blades!

Tang Jie's Nine Heavens Calamity Blades were even stronger than before. There were 162 of them, each one infused with Destruction energy, intersecting with each other as they danced across the heavens.

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor cried out in admiration upon seeing these resplendent blades, "Good!"

He stood in the gale, letting the winds engulf him. Gazing at the descending blades, his silver eyes gleamed.

The dark clouds exploded as a giant shockwave rippled through them.

The shockwave surged upward, pushing back the heavenly blades.

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor said, "It's impolite to not reciprocate a gift. For you!"

A lightning bolt appeared from behind Tang Jie, sending him skyward.

Ten thousand arts from a single thought!

This was one of the terrifying things about Divine Division great fiends.

Unlike Celestial Heart cultivators, existences at his level had their wills connected to the world and could cast arts with a single thought. There was no need for chanting, gestures, or hand seals. A single glance or thought would suffice to harness and control the spiritual energy of the world.

Tang Jie needed to cast the Nine Heavens Calamity Blade, and no matter how he compressed this process, he still had to go through it. But the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor needed only a thought to manifest a spell art, easily blocking the attack and then countering with a lightning bolt that left Tang Jie scorched and roasted. It had happened so quickly that Tang Jie hadn't even had time to cast a second spell art.

Moreover, because he could cast spell arts with a single thought, the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor could cast them at any point, including a location he couldn't see, like behind Tang Jie. After all, while he couldn't see it with his eyes, his Divine Will could.

This allowed the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor's attacks to be very unpredictable.

Finally, his substantialized soul allowed him to harness greater amounts of spiritual energy, conserve more of his own power, and cast spells of greater power. Thus, the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor was able to block one of Tang Jie's strongest spell arts with only a single glance.

As the lightning bolt cracked down, the eyes of the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor also flashed. He smiled and said, "Tang Jie, use all of your strength!"

"Of course!" Tang Jie cracked his neck as his skin rapidly healed, and he began to form various hand signs.

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor chose simply to watch.

It had to be said that Divine Division great fiends had a very elegant fighting style. No matter what ruckus one caused, they would stand there, majestic and immovable!

It felt like he could summon clouds with a wave of his sleeve.

Tang Jie finished his hand signs and pushed his hands forward, upon which a giant manifestation of Tang Jie appeared, as big as a mountain.

"Heavenly King Mara Incantation!" As he crazily howled, the giant thrust out a palm.

The Heavenly King Mara Incantation cast by the merged Tang Jie was far more powerful than before, towering in the sky as it sent an earth-shattering blow at the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor.

A sliver of excitement and admiration appeared in the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor's eyes.

This art did not exist in the Verdant Cloud Domain, and it was his first time seeing it. Its power was comparable to a Violet Palace True Lord's Divine Connection.

Meanwhile, Tang Jie also charged at the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor. What he was truly relying on was still his own divine strength.

The giant hand and Tang Jie arrived at the same time, each one a powerful move. Even arts cast with a single thought might suffer a mishap if one had to deal with attacks on multiple fronts.

The eyes of the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor twinkled, his body floating like a leaf on the wind. He still had his hands held behind his back, but countless hands suddenly emerged from his back, as if he had become the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. Each hand formed a sign, not a single identical sign to be found among the thousand hands.

These hands extended, moving to deal with Tang Jie and the giant hand, creating countless ripples around the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor.

It was a very special defensive stance.

A moment later, Tang Jie and the giant hand collided with the thousand hands.

Ohm!

A unique sound rang out as the thousand hands held back Tang Jie and the giant hand, exploding in blinding light. Tang Jie felt like he had run into a mountain—no, he felt like he could push through a mountain, but he couldn't even get one inch into this defense created by countless hands. As for the giant hand in the sky, it was completely blocked off, stopped cold in the air. Ultimately, it exploded into pieces, returning to spiritual energy.contemporary romance

As the giant hand disappeared, Tang Jie instinctively sensed danger.

The thousand hands moved again, thrusting forward and striking Tang Jie, unleashing a series of shockwaves.

As the countless palms slammed into him, his ribs shattered, and he vomited blood as he flew back, leaving a crimson arc in the air.

The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor was still just standing there.

He looked at Tang Jie and smiled. "You've done rather well, making me use the Thousand Hands. So… do you have anything else?"
