Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1653 - 381: Du Zundao: Chen, Chen 94, How Can You Be This Strong!
Previously on Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!...
With this in mind, Du Zundao couldn't help but feel deep regret.
Yet, just as lament filled his thoughts, a horrifying burst of Flame Power suddenly exploded from Chen Jie.
"Gang Qi!"
Du Zundao's eyes bulged in utter disbelief. Correct, he sensed it unmistakably—the power surging from Chen Jie was genuine Gang Qi. How could Chen Jiusi possibly unleash Gang Qi in such a location? Utterly impossible!
His eyeballs seemed on the verge of tumbling out, shock dominating his expression.
With flames roaring toward him, Chen Jie clenched his fists and bellowed, "Summer God’s anger, open!"
Boom!
In the instant that followed, a fearsome statue materialized behind Chen Jie—bare from the waist up, clutching serpents in its grasp, endless flames flickering between its brows, its stare brimming with rebellion.
Indeed, it was the Ancient Fire God, Zhu Rong!
"Four, Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique!"
Spotting Zhu Rong looming behind Chen Jie, Du Zundao—vastly knowledgeable—recognized it immediately and blurted out the deity's identity: the Fire God Zhu Rong.
Encountering Fire God Zhu Rong elsewhere might not stun Du Zundao so profoundly, but here? This was the Ruins, a domain that suppresses all Gang Qi.
Even someone at the mere Molten Furnace Realm like Chen Jiusi would find their power limited to Dragon Realm levels here, to say nothing of a Melt God Realm powerhouse like himself.
Yet Chen Jie stood unaffected by the Ruins' suppression—how could this be!
Du Zundao reeled from overwhelming shock, his gaze locked on Chen Jie suspended in the sky, Gang Qi cloaking his form while summoning a Martial Arts Illusion. This defied all reason.
How—how was he achieving this?
Wait,
Wait a minute!
As Du Zundao pondered, his eyes suddenly flew wide with a startling possibility.
Qian—Qiankun Great Method!
Precisely, it had to be the Qiankun Great Method. The Ruins had long served as the Sect Hierarch’s private sanctuary, off-limits to other Cult Members, signifying!
Du Zundao pieced it together and glanced upward at Chen Jie.
This meant that upon mastering the Qiankun Great Method, the Sect Hierarch could navigate the Ruins freely, untouched by its effects—this was undeniably the Sect Hierarch’s realm.
In that moment, he watched the Molten Furnace’s Flame Pulse charge viciously at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie hovered in the void right then, the Flame Pulse engulfing him entirely, whoosh...
Chen Jie suddenly immersed himself in the blaze; any ordinary soul would have been reduced to cinders instantly. But Zhu Rong’s statue manifested, drawing the flames onto itself.
Behold Zhu Rong sweep its hand, parting the inferno like slicing through liquid.
Chen Jie remained unscathed at the heart of it all, the Flame Pulse parting to either side, while Zhu Rong’s statue thrust its arms skyward, seizing the Flame Pulse like limp noodles before cramming them straight into its jaws.
Roar!
One massive bite shoved those noodle-like flames down its gullet.
The Flame Pulse served like vital tonic devoured outright by Zhu Rong; Chen Jie distinctly sensed the statue growing more tangible.
Chen Jie grasped the truth: though illusory, the statue consumed flames, gaining strength with every feast, just as it had previously by absorbing Feng Hongyuan’s Bifang Divine Fire at Wushan.
This occasion saw it gulping down the elder Molten Furnace’s Flame Pulse in identical fashion.
Each flame-devouring act amplified its might. Deep down, Chen Jie realized this could be the Zhu Rong statue’s evolution path.
As these thoughts crossed Chen Jie’s mind, the Zhu Rong statue completed its fiery meal, radiating dreadful power. Chen Jie eyed the completely stunned Du Zundao, lifted his palm, and unleashed [Zhu Rong Divine Fire Palm].
Booming, the palm crashed straight toward Du Zundao.
Die!
