Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 328 Burning with Rage
Within the orchard, sword light crisscrossed, and with each strike, a monkey demon perished. In a short while, all the monkey demons in the orchard had been wiped out, and the orchard became extremely quiet, with no sound except for the wind.

Having overcome these obstacles, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Chen Jingshu, who was standing in mid-air. Compared to before, Chen Jingshu's aura had become even more bizarre. Although she was still the same person, her inner self had changed, making her seem like a demonic ape.

"Controlling minds, possessing human bodies, and resembling a demonic ape—is it the Demonic Ape King mentioned at the end of Master Pan Shi's Notes?"

As thoughts raced through his mind, Jiang Chen recalled the origins of the Heart Demon Ape King.

The foundation of the Dao is difficult to establish, and the Purple Mansion is even more difficult to attain. Among humans, Purple Mansion cultivators can be called True Persons, while among demons, Purple Mansion demon cultivators can be called Demon Kings. They can truly rule over a region, build a Demon Mansion, and reign supreme.

In the notes of Master Panshi, the Heart Demon Ape King is a Purple Mansion Demon King. It had a grudge against the Xuan Yue Sect. Later, it accidentally awakened the Heart Ape bloodline and became a Purple Mansion, so it set its sights on the Xuan Yue Sect.

"The Heart Ape is a legendary beast, extremely rare in the world. If this demonic ape has truly awakened a portion of the Heart Ape bloodline, then I must be even more careful."

With a sudden thought, without any hesitation, Jiang Chen activated his flying sword once again.

With a whoosh, thousands of sword lights merged into one, transforming into a magnificent sword light. Under Jiang Chen's control, it slashed straight at Chen Jingshu. In an instant, the sharp aura of the flying sword enveloped the surrounding area.

However, just as the sword light was about to fall, Chen Jingshu suddenly opened her eyes. At that moment, her eyes turned completely dark purple, as if purple flames were burning inside.

"Congeal!"

By communicating with heaven and earth and gathering their power, the demonic ape transformed into a giant hand. At a crucial moment, it blocked Jiang Chen's sword light. With the help of a secret technique, it has now gained initial control over Chen Jingshu's body. However, due to its hasty actions, it has left behind considerable hidden dangers.

"You brat, you've caused problems with my possession. You're going to die today."

Her once clean face was now contorted with rage, and a hoarse, heavy voice came from Chen Jingshu's mouth.

Hearing this and seeing Chen Jingshu like this, Jiang Chen knew that the demonic ape's possession was basically complete.

"It would be best to leave this Demon Ape here today, even if it comes at a price. After all, it's at its weakest right now. Once it recovers its strength, things will really get complicated."

"This Heart Demon Ape is skilled at manipulating people's minds, and its supernatural powers are extremely strange. I don't want to be targeted by such a Purple Mansion Demon King."

As the thought arose, Jiang Chen's killing intent intensified.

"burst!"

With his hands forming a sword incantation, Jiang Chen unleashed the murderous aura hidden within the sword light.

In that instant, the sword light held by the demonic ape rapidly expanded, resembling a small golden sun. The dazzling golden light enveloped all directions, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

"This aura... it's the Soul-Eating Fiend! This is bad..."

Unbeknownst to them, the secret technique activated, manipulating Chen Jingshu's body, and the demonic ape was about to escape.

Such treasures as evil energy are inherently extremely harmful to the soul, not to mention the Soul-Eating Evil that is adept at invading the spirit. In his current state, if he were to be entangled by the Soul-Eating Evil, it would cause him considerable trouble.

However, just as it was about to retreat, a strange power suddenly surged out from within Chen Jingshu's body, causing its movements to slow down for a moment.

"Damn human, I'm using your body now. If anything happens to me, you'll die too."

With a ferocious expression, the demonic ape had no choice but to use its secret technique once again to suppress Chen Jingshu's consciousness.

Hearing this, Chen Jingshu's resolve remained unwavering, and she continued to create obstacles for the demonic ape relentlessly. Under these circumstances, the demonic ape completely lost its best chance to escape.

With a whoosh, a sword light imbued with malevolent energy swept down, instantly engulfing the demonic ape's figure.

"Damn it, the Flowing Fire Technique."

Left with no other choice, the demonic ape could only activate its magic to protect itself. However, all that remained of it was its consciousness, and it could no longer use most of its original supernatural abilities. The only magic it could use was the one practiced by Chen Jingshu.

With a flick of its finger, the demonic ape unleashed crimson flames that enveloped it like a river. The flames were far more powerful than those Chen Jingshu had used before, and they even hinted at the prowess of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, in the next instant, sword light burst forth, and the torrent of flames did not last long before being completely torn apart.

As the sword lights fell, the demonic ape was instantly injured, especially its soul, which was entangled with malevolent energy. Under the corrosive influence of the malevolent energy, its face turned pale.

"We must deal with this guy as soon as possible."

Using a secret technique to prevent the invasion of the corrosive evil energy, the purple demonic flames in the demonic ape's eyes rose.

"Burning with rage."

Reflected in his mind, consumed by rage, the demonic ape unleashed its secret technique. This technique, fueled by anger, could disrupt the enemy's mind and drive them to madness, or ignite itself, unleashing its potential and extraordinary power.

Whoosh! Purple demonic flames rose, bathing the demonic ape in them, and its aura began to grow even stronger.

In that instant, the extraordinary power of Chen Jingshu's Spiritual Body was further stimulated by the demonic ape. The power of heaven and earth surged forth, and her whole body turned into jade, like a jade figure. At this moment, although Chen Jingshu was not a Dao Foundation cultivator, she was better than a Dao Foundation cultivator.

"die!"

With eyes full of rage, the demonic ape slammed its palm down at Jiang Chen. In an instant, the power of heaven and earth converged, forming a huge palm print.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen remained calm and undisturbed.

"In terms of strength, I am no less than you."

As Jiang Chen activated the Skin-Clad Technique, a demonic aura emanated from his body, and signs of demonic transformation began to appear around him. In particular, his pupils turned a dark gold color, filled with icy coldness. At this moment, Jiang Chen resembled a crocodile demon draped in human skin.

This is the Demon Crocodile Skin, the second demon skin that Jiang Chen crafted using the remains of Crocodile Abyss as material. In addition to the second-tier flying sword, Jiang Chen also prepared this second-tier demon skin for this trip to the secret realm.

"Black Water Great Handprint".

With a single palm strike, Jiang Chen easily blocked the demonic ape's attack. Although the enhancement this demonic skin gave him was not as great as that of the mist dragon, it still possessed genuine Dao foundation power.

In contrast, the demonic ape, though seemingly powerful, ultimately relied on a secret technique to forcibly borrow the power of the Dao foundation from heaven and earth, and could not sustain it for long.

With thunderous roars and raging fury, black water surged forth. Both possessing the power of the Dao Foundation, the Demon Ape and Jiang Chen engaged in a fierce battle, but for the time being, neither could gain the upper hand.

As time passed, although the demonic ape's momentum did not diminish at all, and even showed a tendency to increase, Chen Jingshu's jade-like body began to show fine cracks, which was a sign that it could not bear the burden.
