Feng Huai's vision went black. In order to conceal Yun Meng's true qualifications, he deliberately changed the title of Goddess to Empress and addressed Yun Meng as such. Now, Feng Ge had exposed everything.

However, he was also surprised. If Yunmeng's talent was overshadowed by Liu Ruyan and Ning Wan'er, then what kind of talent must these two women have?

Inside the Seven Absolutes Pagoda.

Upon hearing that Feng Ge wanted to fight Chi Yuan, Ji Tianming was displeased: "Feng Ge, there should be a first-come, first-served order in everything. I haven't even fought him yet, so why are you rushing to fight first?"

"You want to fight him too?"

Feng Ge tilted her head and looked at Ji Tianming.

"nature."

Ji Tianming raised his head proudly and stared menacingly at Chi Yuan, saying, "Chi Yuan, I don't know what kind of demonic seed you planted in Miss Liu Yan to make her afraid to break free from your control, but from now on, she is no longer your maid. I, Ji Tianming, will rescue her from your clutches!"

He naturally assumed that Chi Yuan had used some kind of demonic magic to control Liu Ruyan, preventing her from harboring any thoughts of betrayal. Otherwise, why would Liu Ruyan be willing to be a lowly maid rather than a noble imperial concubine?

"Hmph, I knew you had ulterior motives for getting close to Senior Brother. You deliberately lured this guy here to harm him, didn't you?"

Ning Wan'er looked at Liu Ruyan coldly and said.

"Sister Wan'er, you've misunderstood me. How could a weak woman like me have any bad intentions?"

Liu Ruyan spoke in a serious and affected tone, then turned to Ji Tianming, "Young Master Ji, don't blame me for not warning you, my young master is very powerful. If you offend him, you might die."

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianming discerned a different meaning, believing that Liu Ruyan was implying that Chi Yuan's methods were extremely ruthless and that betraying Chi Yuan would lead to death.

This is clearly a roundabout way of asking him for help!

Ji Tianming could no longer contain himself. Right now, Miss Liu Yan was imprisoned and controlled by the demon. He had to rescue Miss Liu Yan from Chi Yuan's clutches so that he could win the beauty's heart!

Thinking of this, Ji Tianming decisively unleashed his overwhelming power, fearless and righteous, saying, "Since ancient times, good and evil have been irreconcilable. As the imperial son of the righteous holy land, how could I fear someone who has been possessed by a demon? Miss Liu Yan, rest assured, I will definitely rescue you from your prison and free you from his control!"

"Young master, what should we do? This guy seems to have lost his mind. Why don't you try to bring him to his senses?"

Liu Ruyan blinked and looked at Chi Yuan.

"Senior brother, don't listen to this wicked woman, she just wants to harm you!"

Ning Wan'er tried to dissuade her, glaring at Liu Ruyan with hostility.

"Wan'er, don't you see? He's just looking for an excuse to make a move. His purpose is to use me to curry favor with Ye Chen. Even without Liu Yan, he would still come looking for trouble with me."

Chi Yuan said calmly, "There's no way to avoid it. The most direct way to avoid trouble is to resolve it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yuan activated the Dou Zi Secret and the Qiu Long Jin, instantly boosting his combat power to its peak. Then, he used the Xing Zi Secret to teleport out. Before Ji Tianming could react, Chi Yuan appeared in front of him and kicked out.

boom!

A golden shockwave rippled outwards, and Ji Tianming's body instantly rose from the ground, shooting towards the high-altitude cannon, creating rings of golden waves.

Chi Yuan unleashed the Xingzi Secret Technique once more, moving so fast that Ji Tianming had no time to react. In an instant, he teleported behind Ji Tianming, and with a powerful stomp of his foot on Ji Tianming's back, countless dragon-like forces poured out in a devastating torrent.

boom--

Another earth-shattering roar erupted, and Ji Tianming coughed up blood and screamed in agony as his body crashed to the ground like a meteor, creating a huge crater.

"You arrogant geniuses of the holy land are always so self-righteous. Today, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Chi Yuan suddenly raised his palm, and in an instant, boundless spiritual power gathered in his palm. With a hum, he bent down and slapped down towards Ji Tianming in the deep pit below.

On the mirror surface of the outer space, amidst countless shocked gazes, a colossal fiery hand, blotting out the sky, descended upon Ji Tianming like a towering mountain.

"This is... a Saint-level spiritual technique?!"

All the Holy Lords, including Rong Xuanqing, were utterly shocked and incredulous upon witnessing this palm strike.

Chi Yuan, a first-level Spiritual Master, actually used a Saint-level Spiritual Technique!

"Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm! This is the Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm, the top spiritual technique of my Heavenly Pool Holy Land!"

"And that Body Dao Spiritual Technique is also the Dragon Elephant Demon Suppression Force of my Heavenly Pool Holy Land!"

Chi Tianhao was even more shocked than the other Holy Lords. Others might not recognize Chi Yuan's spiritual techniques, but how could he not? He was extremely familiar with both the Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm and the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Demon Force. These were the secret techniques of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land!

When he first saw Chi Yuan using the Dragon Elephant Demon Suppression Force, he felt a strong sense of familiarity. However, since this body-refining method was a core secret of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land, only a very few Venerables who had made outstanding contributions to the Heavenly Pool Holy Land could cultivate it. Chi Yuan had neither cultivated in the Heavenly Pool Holy Land nor reached the Venerable Realm, so he could not confirm whether Chi Yuan was using the Dragon Elephant Demon Suppression Force.

However, seeing Chi Yuan use the Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm, he was already certain that the body-body spiritual technique Chi Yuan used was the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Demon Force. After all, the Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm was one of the three secret techniques of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land. If Chi Yuan could learn the Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm, he could naturally also learn the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Demon Force.

The question is, how did Chi Yuan learn these two spiritual skills?

As a closely guarded secret of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land, even the direct descendants of the Chi family have difficulty accessing it. One must have sufficient talent and cultivation to be qualified to cultivate it. Chi Yuan is merely a member of a branch of the Chi family. He has never been in contact with the main branch, nor has he entered the Heavenly Pool Holy Land to cultivate. He has no opportunity to come into contact with these two spiritual techniques. So where did he learn them from?

Most importantly, the palm strike used by Chi Yuan was neither the first nor the second move, but the Saint-level move, the third move, which even in the Heavenly Pool Holy Land, only Saints could cultivate!

This means that Chi Yuan has at least received the inheritance of a saint from the Heavenly Pool Holy Land.

Even... if Chi Yuan really was possessed, then the one who possessed him wouldn't be a member of the demonic path, but rather a saint from the Heavenly Pool Holy Land!

But if that's the case, then the one who possessed Chi Yuan's body should at least be a high-level saint. However, in the past ten thousand years, the only high-level saint to fall in the Heavenly Pool Holy Land is one person.

Heavenly Ancestor, Chi Shang!

Could it be... him?

"Oh no! Destiny, run!"

The Lord of Mending Heaven exclaimed in shock. Ji Tianming could not possibly withstand this palm strike. Even if his combat power was increased to the extreme, he could not withstand it. If Ji Tianming did not escape, he would surely die!

Ji Tianming also felt the danger of death at this moment, and without the slightest hesitation, he withdrew from the trial in a panic.
