Amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers, Chi Yan was pinned to the ground by Ji Mo.
Following that, Ji Mo further extended his demonic claws, grabbing fiercely at Chi Yan's chest.
"Suck!"
"I suck!"
"I suck, suck, suck!"
Ji Mo instantly felt a warm current surge into his body from his palm. He felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, every one of his thirty-six thousand pores experiencing unparalleled comfort.
He chuckled foolishly, gripping even tighter.
Chi Yan cried out in pain, letting out a muffled groan, and then felt his internal power drain away like a breached dam, rapidly absorbed by Ji Mo.
"Damn it, this bastard only ever thinks about draining me dry."
Chi Yan's scalp tingled, and a suspicion began to form in his mind: had Ji Mo let him go previously as part of a scheme?
This bastard had a voracious appetite and was clearly after the Heavenly Demon power within him.
Unlike last time, when he had been weakened by a single absorption, this time, with his true self as a backup, Chi Yan wasn't overly panicked.
The statue within the divine temple continued to channel vast amounts of Heavenly Demon power, ceaselessly pouring into his body.
He allowed Ji Mo to absorb it while seizing the opportunity to counterattack.
Chi Yan's eyes turned blood-red, profound runes flashing within his pupils. He knew that energy attacks wouldn't easily harm Ji Mo, so he resorted to pure physical force.
Empowered by the Heavenly Demon power, Chi Yan transformed like a Super Saiyan. His clothes tore, his body became covered in demonic markings, and his muscles bulged, increasing his strength manifold.
*Boom!*
He clenched his fist and struck Ji Mo's ribs, the impact producing a sound like thunder.
"Struggling is useless."
Ji Mo felt a slight sting and his expression turned displeased.
He pressed down tightly on Chi Yan, attempting to pin his arms and prevent him from moving freely.
Chi Yan, however, had bloodshot eyes and a murderous intent, desperately launching his attacks.
Instantly.
The two of them tumbled and rolled on the ground.
"Is this how battles between Demon Gods are? So simple and unadorned?" Bing'er exclaimed, somewhat bewildered.
Xue'er tilted her head, a look of remembrance on her face, "When we were little, my sister and I used to fight like this too."
"Yes, and I always had the upper hand," Bing'er nodded, a hint of pride in her expression, having never lost a wrestling match against her sister.
Niu Ben's eyes widened. He could see that both sides were relying on their physical bodies for strength.
Clearly, Mr. Ji's body was more robust, but Chi Yan, possessing an endless supply of Heavenly Demon power and constantly invoking various laws to enhance himself, was not at a disadvantage.
However, the sight of two men grappling in such a manner was too much to bear, and their positions were quite suggestive.
Indeed, Mr. Ji was inherently gay. Niu Ben made this judgment deep in his heart.
"Oh dear, quickly close your eyes. Girls shouldn't look, or their eyes will get prickly."
The toad-faced creature's face turned red as he reached out with his claws to cover Mi Xue Bing Cheng's eyes, not wanting the innocent girls to be corrupted.
The Iron-Eating Beast silently turned away, deeming it inappropriate for children to witness.
Chi Yan grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, realizing that despite his best efforts, he couldn't harm Ji Mo. The latter's physique was incredibly formidable.
At the same time, he was furious. The Void Shuttle hanging around Ji Mo's neck kept flashing before his eyes. He considered seizing it to use the divine artifact against Ji Mo.
But when he reached for the Void Shuttle, he was heartbroken to discover that this artifact, which had accompanied him for countless years, had already recognized Ji Mo as its master and was no longer responding to him.
Chi Yan roared loudly, becoming like a frenzied demon, unable to withstand such a blow.
Affected by this, the true body of the Heavenly Demon outside the realm also fell into a frenzy, enraged. No matter the cost, he would kill this bastard Ji Mo.
Above the sky, lightning flashed, and red bolts of lightning tore through the void.
Then, the true body of the Heavenly Demon Chi Yan made a powerful move.
His entire body erupted with demonic light, and he pressed his hands against the boundary wall of the demon realm, intending to tear it open and descend in person.
However, the boundary wall was infused with the flow of Great Dao runes, emitting brilliant light. The chaotic energy shattered the Heavenly Demon Chi Yan's true body's palms.
Blood flowed from his hands, yet he did not retreat. Finally, at a great cost, he managed to open a gap in the boundary wall.
Seizing this moment, he split off one-tenth of his Heavenly Demon origin and successfully infiltrated the demon realm.
"Ji, you're finished."
He let out an incredibly triumphant laugh. As long as he could completely kill Ji Mo, all sacrifices would be worth it.
That tenth of his Heavenly Demon origin was absorbed by the statue almost instantaneously and injected into Chi Yan's body.
Chi Yan's body blazed with immense light, and an extremely terrifying power surged, capable of easily destroying everything.
"Damn it, things have gotten serious. The entire demon realm might be destroyed."
The toad decisively urged the battle flag, rolled himself, Niu Ben, and Mi Xue Bing Cheng within it, and turned into a streak of light, fleeing the scene.
The Iron-Eating Beast stared at them blankly, wanting to curse.
Why was I left behind?
Doesn't your conscience hurt?
It also understood the danger and quickly scurried away on its short legs.
The other demon experts were all greatly alarmed and scattered.
Poor Solon, due to his severe injuries, was too slow to escape and met his doom.
*Boom...*
A massive explosion occurred here, and that destructive force erupted.
Simultaneously, Chi Yan's cold voice rang out, "Today, it's either you die or I die."
He unleashed the power within him without reservation, determined to destroy Ji Mo at all costs.
Explosions continued one after another, affecting the entire imperial palace.
Palace buildings collapsed in succession, turning into ruins. The terrifying power spread, seeking to destroy everything around it.
Chaos erupted within the imperial city as all living beings fled frantically, fearing being caught in the crossfire.
The battles between Demon Gods were truly terrifying; the entire imperial city was likely to be destroyed, and perhaps even larger areas would be affected.
However, their worries were unfounded.
After the imperial palace was destroyed, the power did not continue to rage but rapidly weakened, as if being absorbed by something.
The explosions gradually ceased, dust settled, and there was no further movement from within.
All living beings fixed their gaze on the location of the imperial palace, which had now been completely reduced to ruins, a place of deathly silence.
"Who won? Or was it a mutual destruction?"
Everyone was immensely curious about the final outcome.
A shadow of black and white hues shot rapidly towards the ruins.
The Iron-Eating Beast was the first to return, rummaging through the collapsed structures, trying to dig out Ji Mo.
The chef couldn't die; otherwise, who would roast meat for it in the future?
"You dead toad, all you know is how to run away, completely useless."
Mi Xue Bing Cheng also rushed towards the ruins, chiding the Arid Soul Devouring Toad.
The two girls were filled with worry, as they could not sense Ji Mo's presence.
The toad looked helpless. If it hadn't run, would it have waited for death? That power could have easily killed them.
"Ji Mo, you are indeed insidious, actually scheming for my Heavenly Demon origin. I admit defeat this time. You'd best stay hidden in the lower realm and live a cowardly life. If you dare to come to the upper realm, I will make your life worse than death."
Above the sky, the voice of the Heavenly Demon Chi Yan resounded like thunder throughout the demon realm.
He discovered that his clone had died, and the split Heavenly Demon origin had been completely absorbed by Ji Mo. He could only utter threats and flee shamefully.
This time, the loss was immense; one-tenth of his Heavenly Demon origin was gone. After suffering such a great loss, he had no face left to show.
