The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Ji Chen strode forward without stopping, and in an instant, he approached the severely injured Crystal Horn Clan expert, throwing another punch.

"How dare you?!"

Another powerful member of the Crystal Horn Clan, Zi Xin, was shocked and enraged.

This federal genius named Ji Chen's strength completely exceeded their expectations, judging from their previous encounters alone.

This federal genius is slightly weaker than it and the Purple Plutonium Two-Crystal Horn in terms of both physical strength and energy level, which is why its resistance is commendable.

Even after the energy-blocking array is activated, they should still be much stronger than Ji Chen.

But the outcome of the fight was completely different. Ji Chen broke through their encirclement with just one punch and then severely injured the slightly stronger Zi Fu.

It seemed to see in that punch the figure of a being that looked down upon the starry sea, a being that would awaken countless races in their dreams.

Unlike the Goddess of Dawn, who rarely engages in warfare and resides at the heart of humanity, the Nine Star Gods have an extremely strong presence in the universe.

Before the Nine Star Gods appeared, the law of fire in the universe was restrained by the law of water, and the law of light and the law of darkness were mutually reinforcing and restraining.

However, after the appearance of the Nine Luminaries Star God, fire-attribute cultivators in the universe always have an advantage over water-attribute and other elemental cultivators of the same level.

Those who cultivate the path of darkness are like mice before a cat when they encounter those who cultivate the path of light; they are completely restrained.

He was a powerful figure in the universe who subdued other elemental star gods and even other elemental deities and rulers in one fell swoop, who placed his own path above all other beings and completely rewrote the deep rules of the universe.

"Yes, how could a mere four-star superhuman possibly wield martial arts techniques related to such a terrifying existence? This kid must have mastered the art of human cunning to deceive us!"

He thought this way, and he shouted this way.

"Human! Are you giving up now, trying to put on an act, fool us, and escape with your life? Hahahaha, don't even think about it. The clever Zi Xin has already seen through your tricks. I'll smash you to pieces myself!"

For a moment, Ji Chen didn't know whether the Crystal Horn Clan was truly stupid or just pretending.

What works for most people is hard to apply to him.

Moreover, his momentum had not weakened at all; on the contrary, it was even stronger than before. How did this mentally unstable guy see through his bluff?

"Nonsense!"

Ignoring the intelligence level of the Crystal Horn Clan, Ji Chen unleashed a punch that neutralized all of Zi Fu's resistance, which was severely injured. With a thud, Ji Chen struck Zi Fu's angry and startled head.

Blood splattered, and the head was obliterated inch by inch in the intense light and heat.

"ah......"

Zi Xin screamed in terror, but faced with the fact that his companion had died tragically, he was powerless to change anything.

At the same time, Ji Chen's act of unleashing a powerful punch once again startled it. It felt as if an electric current had shot through its scalp, and the hairs on its body stood on end. It was shocked and horrified.

"I dare not? Are you just bluffing?"

Every word Ji Chen uttered felt like a thunderbolt striking Zi Xin's heart, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

"Kill them!"

Zi Yu roared, swinging his arm in a wide arc, like a giant millstone that crushed everything in its path.

If it weren't for the special materials used in this building, this hundred-story structure would probably have been reduced to dust in an instant.

Even so, those hiding in various places could feel the aftershocks of the storm that swept through everything.

However, no matter how hard Zi Xin fought and launched his strongest attack, he could not change the outcome.

With one punch, Zi Xin's three arms broke off simultaneously, and the protective aura around his body disintegrated, mercilessly burned by the light and heat emanating from Ji Chen's fist. An enticing aroma filled the air, making one's mouth water.

Boom!

Ji Chen unleashed another punch, smashing it into a bloody pulp from head to toe.

Before Zixia could even let out a painful wail, it abruptly stopped. Her eyeballs, spurted out by blood pressure, rolled through the ruins and landed at the feet of another surviving member of the Zijingjing Horned Clan.

The young man from the Crystal Horn Clan looked dazed, as if the bold words he had uttered six months ago in front of his clan elders—the vow to slaughter humans—still echoed in his ears.

But before it could grow up, its two elders, who had protected it all the way, were brutally killed by a federal teenager who was no more than twenty years old and less than a fraction of its age.

At this moment, filled with fear and despair, it couldn't help but wonder, can the Human Federation really win?

Do they still have a chance to reclaim their homeland?

There is no answer to this question, and no one or any other being can answer it. Ji Chen didn't even make a move against it; the residual power of the [Nine Stars Meteor Fist] was enough to burn the alien youth to ashes.

Ji Chen glanced at them casually, then used his aura to overwhelm the remaining Crystal Horn Clan members, and quietly waited by the stairwell.

He could sense that a truly formidable adversary, someone who could make him take things even slightly seriously, was hesitating and lingering downstairs.

Ji Chen could sense the shock, fear, and resentment in that person's heart.

A mixture of negative emotions fermented and were drunk down by Ji Chen, who could sense these emotions, just like fine wine.

Even chilled Guojiao liquor tastes just like this.

Ji Chen felt that he had awakened a new ability, an ability belonging to the Dimensional Demon.

Even if Boundless Heaven did not absorb new worlds, and the Qi and Blood Martial World did not become stronger, the continuous improvement of his physical strength still awakened new abilities from another level.

The panel information flashed, and finally, a new ability appeared, taking up a line of information.

[The Demon Seed in the Heart of the Dao]

Demon Seed in the Heart of the Dao: Heavenly Demons are born with the ability to bewitch minds and cause chaos. As a dimensional Heavenly Demon, your abilities are even more bizarre.

A wisp of demonic nature is deeply planted, nourished by the seven emotions and six desires. You will be able to perceive all the emotions that the person planted with this demon have about you. You can use this to distort their true spirit and existence until they become your new "human form" without you even realizing it.

Ji Chen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately changed his mind.

"If you don't come up soon, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, he naturally turned and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, seemingly preparing to wait for the formation sealing the Nebula Building to dissipate.

Not far apart, just three floors away on the stairs, Galahad raised his hand and then lowered it.

He hesitated and wavered here, not because he was afraid of Ji Chen, but because he couldn't truly make up his mind to pay the price of dying together with Ji Chen.

The Capricorn ruler, his teacher, the Radiant Sword Saint, the demigod Phipsta, was certainly good to him, constantly teaching him for decades. Many of the weapons that supported his martial arts training and the development of his supernatural abilities were provided by his teacher.

He always kept this kindness in his heart.

But the Federation was not an ancient society where "a subject must die if the ruler commands him to," and he never considered entrusting his life entirely to his mentor or becoming a martyr.

He couldn't do it, and he didn't want to be a disciple who would willingly give his life for his teacher's ambition.

Therefore, he hesitated and wavered.

Ultimately, whether due to emotional tension or a lack of clarity in his mind, he made a decision that surprised everyone.

"Ji Chen, let me tell you, being a genius is absolutely no excuse for your arrogance."

"Today, I'll correct your arrogance! Let's duel. If I win, all past grievances will be wiped clean; if I lose, you can do whatever you want with me!"

Are you kidding me?!

Director!

Galahad's law enforcement subordinates looked at their chief in shock, unable to believe that such naive remarks came from his mouth.

With things escalating to this point and all the groundwork laid, how could a single duel possibly resolve the grudges?
