"Amitabha Buddha, Devil, you are going too far. Remember that Buddhism is boundless, and the Buddha Path will surely surpass the Demon Path. This is the truth of heaven and earth. By daring to attack me today, you defy the Heavenly Dao and the Buddha." Jing Hui, the Divine Monk, shook the Bodhi beads in his hand, fully activating this innate spiritual object. An overwhelming Buddhist light erupted, like a great sun slowly rising, confronting Su Jie’s monstrous Blood Sea. The Bodhi beads came from the Holy Bodhi Tree, a treasured artifact of Esoteric Buddhism, most effective against Demon Cultivators. Previously, Jialuo had restrained the group of demons from Chongzhou with this spiritual object. When the Buddhist light appeared, all demons fled. But now, facing Su Jie’s tumultuous Blood Sea, the situation was completely reversed. In the midst of the overwhelming Buddhist light, although Su Jie’s Blood Sea had some evaporation, compared to the vast and boundless Blood Sea, what the Bodhi beads could evaporate seemed utterly insignificant. On the contrary, the towering waves of the Blood Sea surged higher and higher, constantly oppressing the Buddhist light, compressing it back into the Bodhi beads. Of course, this also related to Jing Hui’s current condition. If he were in full health, he might have been able to hold on a bit longer. "Haha, defying the Heavenly Dao? You’re not even fit to be mentioned in the same breath. As they say, the Buddha is one foot tall, but the Demon is ten feet higher. I have yet to kill a high monk from the Purple Mansion Realm; today you shall be the first." Su Jie laughed heartily, ready to send Jing Hui on his way. Under Su Jie’s taunts, Jing Hui erupted. He burned his Yang God, swallowing the Bodhi beads to barely fend off the Blood Sea’s corrosion. He then transformed into a Dharma Form, becoming a monstrous creature with two horns, six legs, and eight wings, charging towards Su Jie through wave after wave of the Blood Sea, resolutely risking his life in a final gambit. Su Jie’s expression remained unchanged, knowing he could easily choose to let the Blood Sea wear down Jing Hui to his demise. The immortal characteristic of his Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill meant he had no fear of Jing Hui’s desperate attempts. Moreover, if Su Jie didn’t want to be touched, Jing Hui wouldn’t even come near him, especially with the Ninth Grade Sacred Lotus and Xiao Qian protecting him. Yet, Su Jie let the Blood Sea open, allowing Jing Hui to rush directly before him. Because what Su Jie wanted was to intimidate these group of demons from Chongzhou, searing today’s experience into their minds to facilitate his next steps in domination. "Just a battered and exhausted Yang God body, struggling in vain. Witness the true might of the Purple Mansion!" Su Jie clasped his hands together, his brow splitting open, and he snorted coldly: "Dharma Form! Chaos!" The sky split with limitless ghostly light, and the Chaos Dharma Form appeared behind Su Jie, bearing double wings, a body like a mountain, and a single eye within its form. In the next second, the single eye of the Chaos Dharma Form looked towards Jing Hui who was rushing in, and slightly blinked. In an instant, a Divine Radiance Pillar that illuminated nine heavens and ten earths burst forth with such speed that Jing Hui couldn’t react in time. His expression froze on his face; the Yang God Dharma Form shattered under the Divine Radiance Pillar like porcelain. The Divine Radiance Pillar lasted over a dozen seconds, lingering between heaven and earth. The holy radiance illuminated the world, reflecting the stupefied expressions of the Chongzhou demon practitioners. Their hearts and bodies trembled under the Chaos Dharma Form’s assault, as small creatures would shiver in terror at the rumbling thunder. It was an absolute overpowering force, the invincible Purple Mansion Divine Power, and for the first time in over three hundred years, these Chongzhou demon practitioners experienced the overwhelming strength of the Purple Mansion Demon. Many demon practitioners, under this radiance, couldn’t help but feel a sense of submission, eyes showing reverence. A dozen seconds later, when the Divine Radiance Pillar dispersed, an empty black mark appeared in the void, stretching down to the ground, penetrating thousands of meters into the earth, forming a bottomless abyss. This was the most powerful attack in the Purple Mansion Realm, the divine power of the Yang God Dharma Form. Under such an attack, Jing Hui’s so-called desperate fight became a joke. His entire being was blown apart by the Chaos Dharma Form, leaving only the Bodhi beads, the innate spiritual object, intact under the Chaos Dharma’s assault. "It seems that today the Demon Path has triumphed, and your Esoteric Buddhism isn’t that formidable after all!" Su Jie produced the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, gathering Jing Hui’s shattered Yang God fragments to share in the Human Emperor’s glory within the banner. At the same time, Su Jie raised his hand to catch the falling Bodhi beads, taking this treasure from Esoteric Buddhism. With just this battle, Su Jie gained greatly, collecting three innate spiritual objects: the Green Phoenix Red Flood Dragon Fan, Netherworld Soul Capturing Pearl, and the Bodhi beads. And that wasn’t all; Su Jie then turned his gaze to the Chongzhou demon practitioners. Next, they too would become part of Su Jie’s acquisition, one of his trophies. "I, Su Jie of Ghost Ridge Palace, proclaim dominion over Chongzhou today. In the future, Chongzhou will be under my rule. Whoever is not convinced, step forward." Su Jie’s voice was like Heavenly Might, shaking the heavens and awakening the dumbfounded group of demons from Chongzhou. The scene fell into a momentary silence, not because they dared to refuse Su Jie, but because the demons had yet to immediately switch allegiance, and Su Jie’s declaration was too simple and direct. "Our Desire Sect is willing to submit to Sect Master Su. In the future, just a word from Sect Master Su, and we will follow wholeheartedly, unafraid of peril or death." Amidst the silence, suddenly, a charming voice rang out. The speaker was a voluptuous woman dressed in a translucent gauze, her fair skin and sensitive areas faintly visible. She was none other than Yin Leibai, the Sect Master of the Desire Sect, who took the initiative to submit to Su Jie. In fact, upon recognizing Su Jie’s identity and seeing the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, Yin Leibai understood everything. The Desire Sect had once targeted Su Jie, suspecting that the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus was in Su Jie’s possession. Now it seemed the speculation was wrong; the quality of Su Jie’s Nine-grade Sacred Lotus didn’t match, looking more like it was cultivated from a lotus seed. Thinking of their past enmity, Yin Leibai felt a sense of fear. She was terribly afraid that Su Jie would settle scores with her later, possibly killing her with a slap. So as soon as Su Jie spoke, she immediately chose to submit. To curry favor with Su Jie to the maximum extent, Yin Leibai even tapped her forehead and extracted a drop of her vermillion blood. "Su Sect Master, this is my vermillion blood. Please accept it. I am willing to serve by your side as a humble flute maidservant in the future." Yin Leibai knelt down, raising her hands to offer this drop of vermillion blood to Su Jie. The Chongzhou Demon Practitioners observing this scene were extremely surprised. Due to the unique nature of their cultivation techniques, the Desire Sect needed to practice Yang Absorption and Yin Supplementation, advancing their cultivation through the collection of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, especially with the Bewitching and Illusion Techniques which could easily ensnare male cultivators. However, this Demon Technique also had its drawbacks. Absorbing too much of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires made one prone to going astray. Therefore, highly cultivated practitioners from the Desire Sect would condense vermillion blood within themselves, using it to guide and assist their cultivation, which was fundamental to them. If an outsider controlled the vermillion blood, snuffing it out would immediately cause the original owner to go astray, either going mad or dying. The Chongzhou Demon Practitioners didn’t expect Yin Leibai to be so willing to submit to Su Jie without leaving any way out for herself. Having her vermillion blood meant Su Jie essentially controlled her life and death. "You are quite perceptive." Su Jie picked up the drop of vermillion blood, the liquid subtly pink. As he examined it closely, it seemed as if countless feminine voices murmured seductively and breathlessly in his ear. But such things had no effect on Su Jie. He merely gave it a disinterested glance and placed it in his storage bag. Seeing Yin Leibai slide down to kneel, the other Chongzhou Demon Practitioners followed suit.

"Su Sect Master slew the Western Regions Evil Monk, avenging our Sect Master. On behalf of the Golden Brilliance Sect, I pledge to wholeheartedly serve Su Sect Master. Your pointing finger is the direction our sect will advance." "Su Sect Master is a model for us demon practitioners. My Illusion Tower is willing to honor Su Sect Master as the Overlord of the Chongzhou Demon Path." "My Nine Dragons Hall is willing to..." One by one, the Chongzhou Demon Practitioners knelt down thoroughly and willingly. Demon Practitioners were quicker to adapt to circumstances than the Righteous sect. While the Righteous sect might grapple with issues of face and reputation, the Demon Path focused on pragmatism. Demon Practitioners were a thoroughly pure existence; when they fought, the one with the strongest fists spoke authoritatively. Prestige and face were irrelevant; they believed strength was truth. With absolute strength, Su Jie had already subdued these demon practitioners. To these Chongzhou demons, the emergence of a Purple Mansion Realm Great Demon was enough to change the landscape for demon cultivators of the Da Li Dynasty, greatly boosting the prestige of the Demon Path. Following Su Jie promised benefits as well. Moreover, given Su Jie’s intimidating demeanor, nobody was foolish enough to resist him. Anyone who dared not to kneel would surely be slapped into a pulp on the spot. Having witnessed Su Jie’s battle, no Chongzhou Demon Practitioners dared to oppose him. "Very well. Follow me, and the glorious days for us demon practitioners will be here soon. For better development, the Ghost Ridge Palace will send disciples to implement some institutional reforms in your sects. All you need to do is cooperate obediently." Su Jie nodded in satisfaction, as the Chongzhou Demon Practitioners were quite astute. However, Su Jie wanted more than just nominal submission; he planned to reform their sects, learning from Qingzhou’s experience, establishing his own rules. In the future, if they wanted to act recklessly and callously kill and refine as before, it would depend on whether the Ghost Ridge Palace and Su Jie’s iron fist allowed it. Some Chongzhou Demon Practitioners’ faces changed slightly; they had heard of the changes in Qingzhou and naturally resisted Su Jie’s reform ideas. But with the situation beyond their control, they had no choice but to nod and agree. When Su Jie spoke, he ignored the expectant gaze of the Golden Brilliance Sect elder, who couldn’t tear his eyes from the Netherworld Soul Capturing Pearl in Su Jie’s hand. But such a treasure in Su Jie’s possession wasn’t going to be returned. Having avenged the Golden Brilliance Sect’s Sect Master, the small Netherworld Soul Capturing Pearl was naturally Su Jie’s reward. Another person also had their eyes on Su Jie’s treasure. Qin Yushang’s phoenix eyes watched the Green Phoenix Red Flood Dragon Fan. She didn’t stand with the Chongzhou demon practitioners but was in another direction. Even though the battle was over, she couldn’t find joy. Her most beloved Innate Spiritual Treasure had been taken by Su Jie, and her heart bled. She opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t speak; she knew that Su Jie was unlikely to return the Green Phoenix Red Flood Dragon Fan to her. Su Jie turned, meeting her gaze, and a slight smile played on his lips. He tossed the Green Phoenix Red Flood Dragon Fan in his hand and said with a smirk, "What, do you want it?"
