At this moment, atop a peak of Mount Buddha, several tourists were using binoculars to observe the shrine in the valley. They were shocked to see Jiang Chen forcing the Eastern Deity out with his sword energy. Jiang Chen's strength seemed to surpass everyone's expectations.
"How can this kid from Huaxia be so powerful? Our Island Nation's sword masters don't have such formidable sword energy," one tourist exclaimed in astonishment.
"If he didn't have some real skill, he wouldn't dare challenge the Eastern Deity Shrine. I couldn't believe this news at first. Luckily, I didn't go; I would have been scared to death," another tourist remarked.
"It's officially announced, so it can't be false. But the Eastern Deity has a thousand years of cultivation; surely it will wipe out this young man from Huaxia," another tourist responded nearby.
Meanwhile, in the air above the Eastern Deity Shrine, Jiang Chen gazed at a thick mass of black energy before him, his expression solemn. The Sha Qi emanating from the Eastern Deity had become so dense that it revealed the depth of its cultivation.
The black energy swirled like thick ink, gradually coalescing into a humanoid form clad in a robe of Sha Qi, its face obscured. The figure was entirely shrouded in a black robe made of Sha Qi, which billowed and exuded an ominous aura.
The figure slowly raised its head. Beneath the hood was a pitch-black visage with two hollow eye sockets, black energy flowing from them. Meeting its gaze felt like staring into an abyss, instilling a strong sense of danger and dread. However, the Eastern Deity's imposing presence had no effect on Jiang Chen; after all, it was merely a Demon God from Earth. Even after cultivating for ten thousand years, it was still nothing compared to someone who had trained for just ten years in the Xiu Xian World—an insurmountable gap.
"I never expected you to possess such a powerful artifact. That sword is quite impressive," the Eastern Deity said coldly, fixated on Jiang Chen's Sky Sword.
"Unfortunately, no matter how powerful your artifact is, you won't be my match. After all, mortals are still mortals, and I am a god. How could a mortal possibly contend with a god?" the Eastern Deity continued arrogantly, brimming with confidence in its own strength.
"A Demon dares to call itself a god? I see you've never encountered one," Jiang Chen scoffed.
"Daring to disrespect a god is punishable by death." Seeing that Jiang Chen regarded him with such disdain only fueled the Eastern Deity's anger. For thousands of years, no one had ever looked down on it like this; even those High Monks would treat it with caution. Its cultivation had grown significantly over the years, far surpassing its former self. A young man from Huaxia standing before it so nonchalantly was a serious provocation.
The Eastern Deity reached out its hand, transforming its arm into a tendril of black energy that shot toward Jiang Chen from a hundred meters away.
Jiang Chen held his sword and unleashed a brilliant sword energy. When their energies collided, it was like water meeting fire; they intertwined before ultimately dissipating.
"Your swordsmanship is indeed rare; few can withstand my strike. However, I only used one-tenth of my strength just now. Now let me show you the true power of a god," the Eastern Deity said coldly. It wasn't surprised that Jiang Chen could block its attack; after all, the sword in his hand was no ordinary weapon.
"You didn't use even one-tenth of your strength? Well then, I haven't even used one ten-thousandth of mine. You should go all out," Jiang Chen replied with a light smile.
