The Giant Wood Flag members mourn Zhao Fu's apparent sacrifice and, inspired by Han Ling’er, vow to find the Qiankun Great Method in his honor before pressing deeper into the ruins. Liu Caidie doubts his death but follows the energized group. Meanwhile, Chen Jiusi exhausts the Fire Essence Beast through repeated butt stabs, finally luring it into a lazy counterattack to unleash the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms' Flying Dragon in the Sky, soaring skyward with Half-step Dragon Realm power.

Right then, resembling a mighty dragon, he struck upward at the Fire Essence Beast’s chin.

The Fire Essence Beast detected the peril, yet it came too late—Chen Jie delivered a thunderous punch straight to its jaw.

A sharp crack echoed as the Fire Essence Beast’s mouth slammed shut with brutal force.

Snap! Countless teeth likely shattered from that devastating impact. The Fire Essence Beast stood dazed for a full thirty seconds, its skull ringing from the blow.

The world spun around it. Briefly, it lost all sense of direction, stars exploding in its vision.

The moment had arrived.

Chen Jie vaulted straight onto the head of the stunned ten-meter-long, five-meter-tall monster.

Its gaze was empty, utterly disoriented.

Chen Jie touched down beside its head; with a flick of his wrist, the Chrysalis Blade materialized in his hand. He slashed fiercely without pause, carving into the Fire Essence Beast’s eye while plunging his other hand deep inside.

Out came a radiant crystal the size of an apple.

Chen Jie swiftly tucked it into the Storage Ring.

The Fire Essence was now his.

Suddenly, a deafening shriek pierced the air, capable of rupturing eardrums.

Roar, roar...

That roar shook the heavens, rattling the whole Magma Cave. Flame Scorpions lurking in the magma depths quivered in terror.

Chen Jie wasted no time; he spun around and bolted.

Spotting Chen Jie’s retreat, the Fire Essence Beast exploded in fury, its maw erupting with a torrent of flames.

The blaze drove Chen Jie into a tight corner, while the maddened Fire Essence Beast fixed its lone eye on his position and barreled toward him.

Boom!

A massive blast erupted, stones shattered, and chunks of rock tumbled from the cavern roof. Chen Jie watched in horror.

The beast’s rampage was horrifying; he hoped desperately the cave wouldn’t crumble.

With this in mind, Chen Jie prepared to escape as the Fire Essence Beast yanked its head free from the debris, thrashing it wildly.

Whimpering...

While shaking its head, it zeroed in on Chen Jie’s location, jaws wide as it lunged forward.

Chen Jie evaded the charge, but flames spewed from the beast without delay.

Whoosh...

Flames billowed outward, shrinking Chen Jie’s safe space; the Fire Essence Beast pinned him down with relentless frenzy.

Pain fueled its savagery; observing this, Chen Jie realized he had to dodge its insane wrath.

True to form, the Fire Essence Beast pursued Chen Jie with unbridled madness.

Chen Jie focused entirely on evasion. After multiple dodges, he saw the Fire Essence Beast’s pace faltering, slowing bit by bit, though its furious heat drove desperate assaults on him.

Chen Jie kept dodging, tracking the beast’s decelerating speed closely.

In the final stretch, only leftover savagery powered the beast’s attacks on Chen Jie.

Growing calmer, Chen Jie mentally counted down, waiting for the ideal opening.

Ten, nine, eight...

Roar, roar...

The Fire Essence Beast’s extended frenzy ignited greater wrath, hurling itself wildly at Chen Jie.

Three, two, one!

Chen Jie eyed the Fire Essence Beast’s last lunge, his eyes flaring as the count hit zero—perfect timing for his counter.

Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!

[Shocking Hundred Miles!]

Chen Jie unleashed his strike in his signature manner: as the beast snapped its jaws, he sprang high, slamming Shocking Hundred Miles into its chin once more.

The exact same spot, the signature blow landing with crushing power again.

At once, the Fire Essence Beast’s head rang anew, leaving it stunned yet again.

Worse still for it, Chen Jie vaulted toward its remaining eye.

A slash!

Chen Jie gouged out the eyeball; he carved off the Fire Essence, then leaped onto its back and bounded nimbly to safety!
