Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Shen Jue naturally knew the background of Pudu Cihang.

The centipede demon's true form was so enormous that it could devour the entire Buddhist temple. Its body was covered with an indestructible carapace, and when its hundred legs moved together, it could crush even mountains.

What's truly terrifying isn't his demonic power, but his cunning.

Unlike ordinary demons who occupy mountains and devour people, he chose a more insidious path.

The centipede demon swallowed the real Master Pudu Cihang, donned his skin, and brazenly entered the imperial court.

They preach Buddhist teachings, but practice demonic ways.

He held a grand Buddhist assembly in the capital, recruiting many disciples. On the surface, he was promoting Buddhism and saving all sentient beings, but in reality, he was building his own den of evil brick by brick on the framework of the imperial court.

Those young people with exceptional potential who were selected at the Dharma assembly were taken back to the inner palace by him and never came out again.

Their essence and blood transformed into his cultivation, and their physical forms were clothed by his lesser demons, who replaced them as his spies, placing them in every corner of the court.

How many officials in the court knew the truth?

How many people, even if they know, choose to turn a blind eye, or even actively seek refuge, in order to survive and preserve their wealth in a chaotic world where demons rule?

The most terrifying thing is not the demons, but the people who actively pave the way for the demons after the human heart has decayed.

A centipede devours the nation's fate in the imperial court, while a locust tree sucks human blood in the mountains.

One occupies a high position in the imperial court, while the other lingers in the remote corners of the country.

They may not be allies, and may even be secretly plotting against each other and wary of one another, but together they constitute the two great mountains weighing down on humanity in this chaotic world.

And how many more such demons exist in this land where gods and Buddhas no longer exist and yin and yang are reversed?

Shen Jue slowly stood up, his plain white cassock billowing in the morning breeze.

He gazed at the distant, hazy sky, at the desolate wilderness shrouded in demonic energy and devoid of sunlight.

There was no fear in Shen Jue's eyes, only a deep, unfathomable calm, and beneath that calm, a determination that flowed slowly like molten lava.

"Since the gods and Buddhas are not here, then I will assume their roles."

His voice was as soft as a sigh, yet it carried a calm confidence.

"You eat people, so I will kill demons."

"You occupy the temples and the mountains, but I will start from this Jinshan Temple and take it back inch by inch."

"The demons have turned the human world into a pasture, so I will turn this pasture back into a human kingdom."

Shen Jue sat cross-legged atop the tower, and after laughing three times, his internal energy, cultivated in the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, collapsed with a bang.

In this world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, the human side includes martial artists who cultivate true qi and Taoist practitioners who cultivate magical power.

There are also extraordinary individuals who cultivate both true qi and magical power.

In terms of strength, cultivators who practice magic are much stronger than ordinary martial artists who rely on true qi.

The Taoist practitioners in the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio are not the same as those in the horror film Shen Jue's world who only have magical power but no protective techniques.

The cultivators in this world all know how to wield magical treasures, create flying swords, and use their magical power to unleash supernatural abilities that are incomprehensible to ordinary martial artists.

For more than ten years, Shen Jue has been cultivating the true qi martial arts of this world, and has already reached a wondrous level that is first-rate among mortals.

His martial arts skills are comparable to those of Commander Zuo.

It wasn't that Shen Jue didn't want to continue to improve his true qi, but rather that the highest level a true qi martial artist in this world could reach was the same as his and Zuo Qianhu's.

There are no stronger martial artists with true qi above that level.

Given their level of cultivation, they would be no match for ordinary minor demons and monsters.

Of course, it can be killed easily.

However, when encountering demons of the same level as the Tree Demon Granny, they can only protect themselves and cannot pose a threat to demons of that level.

Not to mention powerful demons like Pudu Cihang or the Black Mountain demons of the underworld.

But things are different now.

This world actually perfectly accommodated the internal energy martial arts from Shen Jue's side of the martial arts world.

It can even perfectly accommodate the magical power cultivation techniques used by Shen Jue in horror movies.

Not to mention the power of the primordial magnetic field rotating the nine heavens, a power that is almost universally applicable across all realms.

Shen Jue closed his eyes. The dissipated true energy within his body did not vanish into the world. Instead, it was drawn back together by a purer and more domineering force.

That was the operating trajectory of "Breathing Technique 2.0".

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into his body through all the acupoints, like rivers flowing into the sea.

The roof tiles of the library trembled slightly from the invisible air currents, and the morning mist formed a visible vortex around him.

From this moment on, Shen Jue will walk the path that no one has ever walked before in this world.

Third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, grandmaster, great grandmaster.

In just a moment, Shen Jue paved a new path for the true qi martial artists of this world.

Even a powerful martial artist like Zuo Qianhu in the past could only be compared to a first-rate martial artist in the world of martial arts who cultivated both internal and external strength.

Based on actual combat performance, a Grandmaster Martial Artist could hold his own against someone at the level of the Tree Demon Granny.

For a martial artist at the Grandmaster level, fighting a colossal demon like Pudu Cihang to the death is not a problem.

After an unknown amount of time, the vortex of spiritual energy gradually subsided.

Shen Jue slowly opened his eyes. He raised his right hand, his five fingers clenched loosely, and a field of invisible and intangible yet real energy condensed in his palm.

The air twisted in his palm, the light refracted between his fingers, and a few pebbles in the gaps between the tiles slowly floated up and spun around his wrist.

The primordial magnetic field rotates through the nine heavens, reaching the fourth heaven.

Even Shen Jue from the horror movie only managed to deduce the first six levels of this domineering and terrifying technique.

Now, Shen Jue is using the pure Great Sun Magic Power from the horror film Shen Jue as a foundation to re-cultivate the Yuan Magnetic Rotation Nine Heavens.

He cultivated the even more terrifying power of the Primordial Magnetic Great Sun Magic.

If Shen Jue hadn't tried his best to restrain his power, the moment he completed his cultivation, the entire Jiangnan region, and even half of the human world, would probably have turned into a hellish place.

"laugh!"

"I will appear before others with the inner strength cultivation of a Grandmaster."

"When those demons come to attack me, I will use my cultivation at the fourth level of the Yuan Magnetic Rotation Realm to grab them."

"Refined in an instant!"

"Beautiful! Beautiful!"

Shen Jue burst into laughter again.

The monks of Jinshan Temple, standing beneath the Sutra Repository Pagoda, felt that their abbot had been laughing a bit too much today.

"But I can't let myself get carried away," Shen Jue whispered to himself.

"What if there's a huge pit buried in this world, and some kind of demon saint or monster pops out from some corner?"

"I'll hold back for now and explore the truth of this world further."

After saying that, Shen Jue jumped down from the Sutra Repository and went to find Commander Zuo, who had just sat down to rest for a while.

Shen Jue pushed open the door and smiled as he slowly said to Zuo Qianhu, who was meditating with his eyes closed, "Brother Zuo."

"I have now attained enlightenment and become a living god or Buddha."

"I have come today specifically to help you cross this boundless sea of ​​suffering, and incidentally to slay the demons and monsters of the human world."

Zuo Qianhu opened his eyes and looked at Shen Jue with a worried expression, as if to say, "Have you gone mad?"
