Lin Zhang's pupils contracted violently. He felt as if his Thunder Domain had been shattered by Jiang Li's punch.
The surrounding vital energy quickly dissipated.
A bone-chilling fear crept into Lin Zhang's heart.
How could this guy…
"Boom!!!"
With a violent collision, Lin Zhang, enveloped in endless lightning power, was once again struck heavily by Jiang Li's fist.
The berserk force directly caused the vital energy within Lin Zhang to collapse, his body seeming to have suffered a devastating blow.
Countless bones shattered with a fierce tearing sound.
Lin Zhang let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily.
Weakly, he collided with a distant large tree and fell unconscious.
"Still not durable enough!" Jiang Li muttered softly.
He had expected this guy to be a bit tougher after activating his domain and divine abilities, but he hadn't anticipated he would still be no match for a single punch from him.
"Damn, one punch to instantly kill the Holy Son of Cang Mo Peak, awesome…"
"This strength is too terrifying. Lin Zhang, who had just activated his domain and Thunder Spirit Transformation, definitely had the power to contend with a Great Sage, yet he was instantly killed…"
"I get it now. The two were not on the same level at all. No wonder Holy Son Jiang Li didn't use his divine abilities; he was probably afraid of killing Lin Zhang…"
…
The onlookers nearby were dumbfounded, their gazes towards Jiang Li in the jungle filled with fervent admiration.
They hadn't expected the Holy Son of Cang Mo Peak to be unable to withstand even a single move from Jiang Li.
It was truly terrifying.
Shi Mo and the others were completely stunned; the current situation was beyond their imagination.
They hadn't expected their Cang Mo Peak's Holy Son, who possessed exceptional talent and strength, to be instantly killed by Jiang Li's punch.
"Great Demon, I didn't expect you to be quite this powerful!" Chen Lingyue, standing beside him, excitedly ran up to Jiang Li and said.
Shan Hu, not far away, also had a flushed face, her eyes towards Jiang Li filled with fervent admiration.
Jiang Li ignored them and looked at Shi Mo in the distance.
"I'm taking that person with me. Do you have any objections?" Jiang Li asked indifferently.
Shi Mo and the others shook their heads like rattles.
What a joke. Their Holy Son had been beaten this badly; what further objections could they possibly have?
"Let's go, we're heading back!" Jiang Li said to Chen Lingyue by his side.
Chen Lingyue nodded heavily. Although the Great Demon was quite wicked, it seemed…
Following that, Shan Hu found someone to help drag the unconscious Li Quan and returned to Star Cauldron Palace.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure that guy hands over the Thunder Spirit Bamboo!" Chen Lingyue patted her chest as she was about to leave.
Shan Hu's mouth twitched slightly. This Miss Chen still hadn't forgotten about that…
Afterward, Jiang Li, along with Shan Hu and others, left Cang Mo Peak.
…
At the same time, the battle between Jiang Li and the Holy Son of Cang Mo Peak spread throughout various parts of the Primordial Demon Sect.
Many people learned of the strength of Jiang Li, the Holy Son of Star Demon Peak.
Unlike his previous battle with the Divine Maiden.
This time, the battle was fought to completion.
Moreover, it was an undisputed instant kill that many had witnessed.
This greatly enhanced Jiang Li's already burgeoning reputation.
Many openly declared that Jiang Li was the number one Holy Son of the Primordial Demon Sect and might even replace the position of Divine Son Ye Wu Shang in the future.
However, such rumors were still in the minority. Nevertheless, the name and strength of Jiang Li were now etched in the minds of many disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect.
Naturally, Jiang Li paid no heed to such talk.
At this moment, Jiang Li was within Star Cauldron Palace.
"Your Highness, negotiations with Ghost Demon Peak have concluded. They are willing to allow Your Highness to cultivate in the Ghost Demon Cave!" Coral said respectfully to Jiang Li from below the palace.
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. They agreed?
Before entering his closed-door cultivation, Jiang Li had instructed Coral to go to Ghost Demon Peak.
The new divine-rank mental system divine ability he had obtained required cultivation in an environment with extremely profound netherworld energy.
In the Primordial Demon Sect, only Ghost Demon Peak possessed such conditions.
Their Ghost Demon Cave was filled with surging, terrifying netherworld energy, making it extremely suitable for cultivating martial arts and divine abilities related to yin and netherworld power.
"Then I will go to Ghost Demon Peak to cultivate. Oh, and what about that girl, Chen Lingyue!" Jiang Li continued.
Chen Lingyue had disappeared after returning to Star Cauldron Palace, and Jiang Li didn't bother with her.
Coral's expression turned somewhat strange, and she then said with a bitter smile, "Reporting to Your Highness, Miss Chen has gone to persuade Li Quan to hand over the Thunder Spirit Bamboo!"
Jiang Li's mouth twitched slightly. That was indeed in line with her saintly disposition.
However, Jiang Li didn't want to bother with her. Let her cause trouble as she pleased.
If it weren't for her supreme-level eighth-tier father being too formidable, Jiang Li would have long since abandoned her to fend for herself.
"Then I will entrust the affairs of Star Cauldron Palace to you for now!" Jiang Li said to Coral.
Although Coral's strength was not top-tier, she handled various matters meticulously and with great care.
Jiang Li felt quite reassured leaving the affairs of Star Cauldron Palace in her hands.
Coral nodded heavily, feeling the trust in Jiang Li's words.
Immediately after, Jiang Li left Star Demon Peak and headed towards Ghost Demon Peak.
…
Ghost Demon Peak.
Ghost Demon Peak was located in the western region of the Primordial Demon Sect.
A deep, eerie aura permeated the surroundings.
The surrounding flora and trees also exuded a gloomy aura.
Due to the unique geographical environment of Ghost Demon Peak, most of the disciples there cultivated yin-attribute techniques.
In a valley filled with gusty winds on Ghost Demon Peak.
Jiang Li, led by a few Ghost Demon Peak disciples, arrived at the valley.
"Senior Brother Jiang, the Ghost Demon Cave is ahead!" a Ghost Demon Peak disciple said respectfully to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li nodded, his gaze fixed on the depths of the valley, where a cave entrance seemed to emanate an extremely profound aura.
It appeared that this was the Ghost Demon Cave.
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, I didn't expect your strength to be so astonishing. You managed to easily defeat that fellow Lin Zhang!" As Jiang Li was observing the front, a clear and pleasant voice sounded from behind him.
Jiang Li slowly turned around. What met his eyes was a captivating woman with a proud figure.

ps: [emmm, there was a lot of interesting content about Chen Lingyue that I wanted to write, but it seems that not many people are satisfied with Chen Lingyue. In that case… I will quickly transition to the main storyline. Thank you for your support.]
