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

"This method of inhalation is somewhat unusual."

Shen Jue smiled again as she said this.

With a flick of his finger, a stream of internal energy mixed with information about the cultivation technique entered the minds of the four Arhats of Jinshan Temple who had been waiting for a long time.

The four Arhats looked at each other for a moment, then exhaled in unison, their faces showing a relieved expression.

Now that the abbot has spoken, they no longer need to worry about the precepts or other worldly prejudices.

After all, the composition of the eighteen Arhats under Shen Jue's command was extremely complex.

Shen Jue and the others claimed to be practicing Buddhism, but in reality, it was more accurate to say they were cultivating physical strength.

As long as it can save the world, Shen Jue doesn't care about the so-called rules and regulations of Buddhism.

The four men had exceptionally strong and muscular upper bodies.

Each muscle was like it had been cast in bronze and iron, gleaming with a faint golden luster.

The gnarled muscles were clearly defined in the moonlight.

They casually tossed aside their discarded monk robes and clenched their fists.

With the internal energy circulating throughout his body, his already brilliant golden body became even more dazzling.

"In today's cultivation world."

"Besides me, there shouldn't be any martial artist or cultivator whose physique is stronger than the four of them," Shen Jue continued.

"I gave them names, like 'Golden Head Four'."

"I believe they can bring you endless joy!"

"Don't underestimate them! Their physical strength in the current cultivation world is just as terrifying as mine!"

"Everyone has their own strengths and unique skills."

"His fighting spirit and patience were astounding."

"The secret weapon will give you an unexpected surprise!"

"Hahaha!"

At this point, Shen Jue burst into laughter unintentionally, leaving Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen, who were standing nearby, somewhat puzzled.

But the two of them felt that Shen Jue's words carried a chilling and terrifying quality.

Faced with Shen Jue's threat, the Tree Demon Granny's soul twisted, and for some reason she truly felt the bone-chilling coldness in Shen Jue's words.

"You...you damn evil monk! You...you...you can't do this!" the tree demon granny roared in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.

"Why not?" Shen Jue lay back for a moment, propping his cheek up with his fist as he spoke.

"I also plan to replicate this technique hundreds of millions of times and provide it to the world for free!"

"Old tree spirit, this is the surprise I prepared for you."

"Just enjoy it, haha..."

"Ugh..." The tree demon's expression was distorted. She desperately urged all her demonic power, trying to break through Shen Jue and the golden arhats' defenses, but to no avail.

It could only let the roots dance wildly.

"I...I'll kill you all...I'll...I'll kill you all!"

Seeing the Tree Demon Granny's attitude, Shen Jue calmly explained, "This is my cultivation technique."

"It's because I once saw demons eating people to cultivate, and ghosts sucking people's life essence and then becoming furious."

"Now, by combining numerous martial arts techniques, it has been created in one fell swoop."

"A method that allows people to cultivate themselves by using demons and monsters to strengthen their bodies and spirits."

"This method has two forms of cultivation using demonic techniques."

"One type is similar to the Star Absorbing Technique or the Northern Darkness Divine Art, which absorbs demons and monsters to feed on."

"As for the second type, it is treachery!"

"This second method! It can completely devour and eradicate the demon's cultivation, physique, and soul, inch by inch, thread by thread!"

"This is not something only those with immense perseverance can do!"

What Shen Jue didn't mention was that, like the martial arts master Shen Jue, he had planted a seed of will within this special technique.

The more one practices this technique, the closer one's behavior becomes to Shen Jue himself.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen looked at Shen Jue with immediate horror, instinctively putting their hands behind their backs.

The Tree Demon Granny's soul trembled violently!

At this moment, in the eyes of the Tree Demon Granny, Shen Jue was more terrifying than a billion Buddhas!

"This technique is called the Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi Technique," Shen Jue said with a smile.

Before the roar of the Tree Demon Granny had subsided, the golden Arhats guarding the eight directions had already unleashed their power once again.

The giant black Bodhi tree, tens of meters tall, trembled violently. The distorted face on the trunk let out a deafening roar, but it was firmly locked in place by eight beams of golden internal energy, unable to move.

The roots were severed, the branches were crushed, and the entire giant tree seemed to be pressed to the ground by an invisible golden hand, making even trembling difficult.

The tree demon's illusory soul twisted violently in the air, its half-male, half-female face completely deformed by fear.

She tried to shrink back into her original body, but found that the connection between her body and soul had been completely severed by the eight golden rays of internal energy.

She was trapped outside her own body and could only watch helplessly as everything that followed happened.

The four strong and muscular Arhats moved.

They clenched their fists, their bodies burning with golden light as intensely as a furnace.

The four slowly turned around and locked their gaze firmly onto the giant black Bodhi tree that had been suppressed.

Their lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

That wasn't the compassionate lowering of a bodhisattva; it was the savage grin of a hunter who, having finally spotted his prey, could finally unleash his fury.

"Old tree spirit," one of the Arhats said, his voice deep and resonant like a drumbeat.

"This is the first time we've used the techniques bestowed by the abbot."

"With your thousand years of cultivation, don't let us down!"

As soon as the words were spoken, four golden figures rushed toward the Bodhi tree like meteorites.

The Tree Demon Granny's spirit let out a piercing, almost shattering scream in mid-air: "No!"

"Don't come any closer!!!"

Golden internal energy, like a vast ocean, enveloped the Tree Demon Granny's physical form and soul. The four Arhats then targeted the Tree Demon Granny's soul.

A golden cocoon of light formed between the tree demon's physical body and her soul.

Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen stood on the ruins, staring blankly at the huge golden cocoon of light suspended in mid-air, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a fist.

"What...what are they doing in there?" Ning Caichen swallowed hard.

Yan Chixia did not answer.

He had lived half his life, slaying countless demons and monsters, and considered himself to be knowledgeable and experienced, but the scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension.

He had a vague feeling that the young abbot named Shen Jue was probably not joking at all when he said those words.

On the Buddhist palanquin, Shen Jue still propped his cheek with his fist, crossed his legs, and wore a meaningful smile on his lips.

He gazed at the golden cocoon of light and nodded gently, as if admiring a masterpiece in the making.

At that moment, amidst the dazzling golden light, the voice of the Tree Demon Granny suddenly rang out.

That seemed to be her last struggle.

"Black Mountain Venerable... save me!"
