The proof of Emperor Wu began with daily rewards for diligence.

"Afraid of you? A dying man?"

Chen Jue looked down at the dead man's head in the corner with disdain.

He had slain a large pig demon like Dong Ling with a single strike, let alone this little earthworm of unknown origin before him.

"Ignorant brat, let me show you the true power of the Zhenshui Divine Art!"

The earthworm-head's voice went from calm to frenzied, until it let out a shrill roar.

The commotion caused the headless earthworm corpse behind Chen Jue to collapse with a roar.

The next moment, it transformed into earthworms crawling all over the ground, flowing towards the head of the earthworm man.

Chen Jue made way, allowing the lower half of the earthworm-man to gather into a tower, transforming back into wriggling limbs and torso.

"Scared now! The gods have granted me immortality, so hurry and embrace this glorious evolution!"

The earthworm-man laughed wildly, and the earthworms transformed into wriggling tentacles, stabbing towards Chen Jue's face.

"Fancy and overly complicated."

Chen Jue stepped to the side, his long sword pointing diagonally. The true meaning of the "Only the Mind and the Self" sword technique spread out in all directions like mercury as the Six Harmonies Sword Technique unfolded.

Brush brush!

Chen Jue spun around and slashed three times, severing the wriggling tentacles extended by the earthworm-like man. Then, using inertia as a starting point, he integrated all his strength and thrust the blade forward.

Whoosh!

The blade pierced the air and, with lightning speed, instantly stabbed into the earthworm-man's head.

The earthworm-man looked up in disbelief at Chen Jue, who was plunging a knife into his skull.

"The true essence of top-tier swordsmanship?! You're only..."

"You answered correctly! But there's no reward!"

Ong!

Chen Jue didn't let him continue. He channeled the Five Elements True Qi along the spiritual patterns on the blade into the earthworm-man's head. The powerful energy surged, causing the man's head to explode.

Chen Jue turned to the side, and the foul-smelling mud splattered everywhere was completely blocked by the true energy he had surging up.

"You think... you can do this much with just this much power...?"

"So you can... kill me?!"

The earthworm-human's body disintegrated, forming a flowing swarm of worms that moved backwards for ten meters before regrouping into a human shape.

Seeing this, Chen Jue frowned slightly.

These followers, corrupted by the Star Demons, all possessed extremely strong immortality.

The red ligament inside the pig demon's body.

Earthworm-like beings have no vital organs and the ability to break down large groups into smaller ones.

He didn't understand before why those martial artists with profound cultivation levels, who were already in high positions, couldn't resist the temptation of the Star Demon and ultimately chose to fall into demonic ways and become the Star Demon's followers.

But now that he has witnessed the extraordinary powers of these fallen demons, he suddenly understands something.

Everyone fears death, and perhaps the more powerful a person is, the more afraid they are of death, and the more they crave power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

but……

"When a person is killed, they die."

"Not to mention those filthy things that are neither human nor ghost..."

Chen Jue held the blade horizontally, and instantly poured two hundred and fifty strands of Five Elements True Qi into it.

The next moment, his starry eyes shone with a dazzling light.

Within the net woven from the true essence of swordsmanship, the "vitality" hidden throughout the earthworm-man's body was clearly visible to him, like a candle in the dark.

The earthworm-man shuddered, feeling the invisible net that had been laid out before him tightening rapidly, forming an inescapable threat of death that gripped his throat.

He wanted to disintegrate his body, turn into earthworms all over the ground, and escape.

However, it was only at this moment that he was horrified to realize that his entire aura had been locked down.

"you!!"

The earthworm-man's scarlet eyes flickered incessantly, reflecting his utter shock.

Locking onto the vital energy means locking onto those "mother worms" that store his life force!

He tried to move any of the mother insects, even just one, but found that all of them were firmly imprisoned by some invisible force.

Like a gecko pinned to a wall with a steel nail piercing its body, no matter how much it struggles, it cannot move an inch!

"They weren't that hard to kill!"

According to the "True Meaning of Me" judgment, killing the Earthworm Man only requires 250 strands of true energy.

Chen Jue couldn't help but sneer. In an instant, the Six Harmonies Blade Technique unfolded like a great flood, carrying the spiritual energy of heaven and earth driven by the spiritual patterns on his arms, transforming into a monstrous wave that swept everything, slashing towards the earthworm-man whose aura he had locked with the true meaning of his blade technique.

"You can't kill me!!!"

"My sister is the Holy Maiden of the Zhenshui Divine Cult; you will surely die if you kill me!"

While roaring and threatening, the earthworm-man unleashed all the power of its Star Demon, sprouting more than a dozen earthworm tentacles that transformed into sharp, poisonous thorns that pierced Chen Jue from all directions.

"Enough with the nonsense, go talk to my knife..."

Five-colored blade light exploded outwards with a bang as Chen Jue swung his sword.

The dozen or so tentacles released by the earthworm-man were all shattered by the violent Five Elements True Qi.

His fragile insect body, under the precise cuts of the Five Elements Blade Light like a scalpel, melted away inch by inch, like snow melting in the sun, turning into thick, foul-smelling insect mud.

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

"If I die, you won't get away with it!"

A pale blue stream of light shot out from the rotting pile of corpses, its meaning clear: it was aimed directly at Chen Jue's lower abdomen, dantian.

"?"

Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He clearly hadn't expected that killing the worm demon in front of him would bring such benefits.

"Watch out! That's possession energy! Get out of the way!!!"

Wu Nanyuan had been thoroughly defeated by the "hidden version of Chen Jue" and knew that her strength was far inferior to that of her sugar daddy, so she slacked off throughout the entire process, not wanting to affect her sugar daddy's performance.

As she imagined, the sugar daddy completely dominated the earthworm-man, eventually finding a weakness in the demon and killing it with a flurry of blows.

However, perhaps due to underestimating his opponent, after killing the earthworm-man, the opponent forgot to protect himself with his true energy, allowing the true energy of possession that exploded after the demon's death to rush towards his dantian.

Does he think he's Chen Jue? The furnace has its own temperature and pressure, so it's immune to any true energy trying to possess it!

"Freeze!"

Left with no other choice, Wu Nanyuan could only unleash her precious true energy, pushing an ice shield formed from triple true energy towards Chen Jue in an attempt to protect him from the invasion of the true energy that was currently possessing him.

"Don't cause trouble."

Chen Jue reached out and, to Wu Nanyuan's bewildered surprise, struck first, forcefully slapping away the flying ice shield with the back of his hand.

The true energy of Zhenshui, like a moth drawn to a flame, hissed and melted into Chen Jue's dantian.

"Two hundred and fifty strands of water belong to true qi..."

Chen Jue's expression shifted slightly, and he fell into a brief silence.

Although this operation of exchanging 250 strands of Five Elements True Qi for 250 strands of Water Element True Qi resulted in a huge loss.

But it seems he has found a shortcut to quickly accumulate true qi.

Pure fire-attribute true qi or water-attribute true qi, when four sets of internal energy are simultaneously circulating in the meridians, continuously circulating the four qi.

Whether you supplement a single attribute or supplement two attributes together, it will not change the speed of true qi condensation.

Like a wooden bucket, the amount of water it can hold is never determined by the longest plank, but by the shortest one.

Similarly, killing one or two demons from the Fire and Water sects is useless.

If you want to kill them, you need to find enough Star Demon Relatives with five different elemental true energies and kill them together!

Only in this way can the five external elemental energies be fused into one, further accelerating his accumulation of true energy!
