    The Pale Cloud me upon the statue seemed to sense the threat of Tang Jie''s outreached hand, and it suddenly expanded, the mes turning fierce. One could even see countless giant beasts of me within it, ring at Tang Jie and seemingly ready to rush out and do battle with him at any time.


    This sudden development dumbfounded everyone in the reception hall. Until now, the Pale Cloud me had always been an object of veneration, and no one had ever seen it react like this.


    Tang Jie chuckled. "Even your master doesn''t want you anymore, so why resist? It would be better to just obediently follow me."


    A ball of me emerged from the end of his right hand.


    The moment the me appeared, it turned into a little bird that happily pped in the air like a little fire spirit.


    When this firebird appeared, the tense Pale Cloud me immediately rxed.


    The firebird flew up to the sacred me, flew three circles around it, and let out a cry. The Pale Cloud me immediately dwindled and began to merge with the firebird.


    The firebird was created from the Pale Cloud me, and it naturally attracted all mes, and as these mes hade from the same source, the attraction was even stronger. Thus, while stealing the sacred me was difficult for anyone else, it was as easy as could be for Tang Jie.


    As the Pale Cloud me surged into the firebird, the firebird trilled and pped its wings and grewrger andrger.


    At this moment, a powerful will emerged from the me, exerting a pressure on everyone''s minds.


    "Who dares to be so bold as to touch the sacred me!" a majestic voice resounded in everyone''s minds.


    The me Celestial Sovereign!


    This was the will of the me Celestial Sovereign. It turned out that he had left a sliver of his will in the Pale Cloud me.


    Everyone cried out and prostrated before the domineering majesty of the me Celestial Sovereign.


    Only Tang Jie remained standing. Having once battled with the will projection of the Guangfa Celestial Sovereign, he had no fear of the will of the me Celestial Sovereign. Sneering, he said, "So what if you''re the me Celestial Sovereign? You think a sliver of your will can do anything to me?"


    "Arrogant!" a dignified voice rang out.


    The Pale Cloud me stopped merging with the firebird, and the remaining me swelled and began to radiate searing waves of heat. The dancing mes formed into a face—the face of the me Celestial Sovereign.


    The moment this face appeared, it opened its mouth and spat out a tongue of me at Tang Jie.


    The me howled at Tang Jie like a dragon.


    Tang Jie simply snapped his fingers, upon which the firebird trilled and opened its mouth, sucking in that me dragon, even burping in satisfaction.


    A little firebird naturally wasn''t as strong as the me Celestial Sovereign, but this was only a sliver of his will, far away from matching the firebird.


    "Bastard!" The me Celestial Sovereign furiously roared upon seeing his attack devoured.


    With this roar, the people in the Celestial me Pagoda felt like thousands of needles were jabbing into their heads, and they covered their heads and moaned.


    The me Celestial Sovereign had decided to use a Divine Will attack, not caring about the cost. This Divine Will attack was so powerful that its aftereffects left bystanders in unbearable pain, let alone Tang Jie.


    But Tang Jie was fearless, and as he suffered the Divine Will attack, he shook open the Mountain River State Diagram, from which emerged his original body.


    The original body and avatar merged, and with a roar, he endured this Divine Will attack.


    Tang Jie was one soul sharing two bodies, each of which had developed on their own. When they merged, there was still one soul, but thebined body was much more powerful, so the me Celestial Sovereign had not only failed to wound him, he had greatly weakened his sliver of will in the process.


    Seizing this chance, Tang Jie raised his head, a crimson me burning in his eyes as he chuckled. "That really does have a kick to it, but I need to see what else you''re capable of!"


    After merging, Tang Jie was influenced by the fierce and savage personality of the original body, making his tone more brazen and arrogant. And the original body was like this because he cultivated the Parting ssic. It wasn''t strange for a cultivator to have their personality twisted and warped by the arts they cultivated, and the original body was just one of many. For this reason, the unaffected avatar was closer to his original self. But regardless of which body it was, they had the same soul, so there was no problem with merging. There might have been biological and psychological effects, but they didn''t reach to the soul.


    Merging would create a mixture of the original body''s brashness and the avatar''s meticulousness.


    As Tang Jie spoke, he swung a fist at that giant face of me.


    The me Celestial Sovereign''s will was basically spent after that attack, and it had no means of fending off Tang Jie''s attack and was sted apart by Tang Jie''s punch. The Pale Cloud me split into countless small balls of me, which turned into fire cranes, fire dragons, fire phoenixes, and other such fire creatures, all of them howling and screeching.


    "Seize!" Tang Jie shouted.


    His fist had sted apart the me Celestial Sovereign''s will so that he could take control of the Pale Cloud me.


    The firebird cried out, and the me creatures began to fly toward it, and the firebird''s body quickly grew to the size of an adult bird.


    "Seeking death!" Thest remnants of the me Celestial Sovereign crazily howled, and under his control, the Pale Cloud me twisted and writhed as he let out his most enraged roar.


    "Noisy!" Tang Jie callously said, pping that ball of me. But rather than scattering the me, he swatted the ball of me toward the mouth of the firebird.


    The me Celestial Sovereign''s will sensed that something was wrong, but it was toote.


    The firebird opened its mouth wide and swallowed up the me along with the remnants of the me Celestial Sovereign''s will.


    The firebird immediately shrieked, great torrents of me rolling off it. While its body did not grow anyrger, it began to radiate an immense pressure.


    "Keee!" the firebird excitedly cheered.


    "Oh, it upgraded," Tang Jie smiled.


    Devouring the me Celestial Sovereign''s will had made the firebird much more intelligent and had also greatly increased its ability to control fire.


    It extended its neck and pecked a few times, eating up the scattered embers of the Pale Cloud me, after which it then turned to the other ball of me on the statue: the Deicide me.


    The Deicide me could burn away all things, and while it was inferior to the Pale Cloud me in terms of transformation, it surpassed it in terms of pure power. Only someone who had entered the Dao of Fire like the me Celestial Sovereign or someone unkible like the Blood River Lord could subdue such a me without painstaking effort. Thus, even an intelligent me monster might not be able to subdue this me.


    Tang Jie''s original n was to first take the Pale Cloud me to increase his chances of taking the Deicide me by a few percentage points.


    Now that the firebird had devoured the me Celestial Sovereign''s will, it had clearly advanced in its Dao. But after looking at the Deicide me, it turned around and disappeared into Tang Jie''s body.


    Tang Jie was startled, thinking that the firebird had realized that it was no match for the Deicide me and given up on it. But a momentter, it appeared in his Spiritual Space, shaking its wings and then returning to its nest, after which the nest turned into a cocoon-like spark.


    The cocoon-like spark covered the firebird and began to spin in the air, mes spurting out from the openings. mes were once more sent rippling through the Spiritual Space, and the Spirit Sea was boiled into steam. As his spiritual energy was rapidly consumed, the spark once more began to condense.


    Tang Jie realized that the spark had leveled up again, but rather than one that he controlled, it was one that the firebird controlled.


    The spark grew stronger and stronger, and finally, a fiery-red, slightly transparent cocoon appeared above Tang Jie''s Spirit Sea. Even with his inner sight, Tang Jie couldn''t peer into it.


    A momentter, the firebird flew out from the cocoon, as cute and small as ever. The firebird had shrunk back to a small bird, but it now had three rainbow-colored crest feathers.


    After lightly jumping around a few times, the fire spirit emerged from Tang Jie''s body and charged at the Deicide me again.


    Flying above it, the firebird began to suck in the Deicide me. As that divine me of High Antiquity that nobody dared to touch entered its stomach, its belly swelled as if something was about to explode. The firebird opened its mouth and spat out a fierce me that instantly set the ceiling of the reception hall aze.


    The firebird fanned its mouth with its wing as if trying to say that this had been a rather spicy meal. Only then did it fly back to Tang Jie.


    Tang Jie immediately felt an immense heat welling up within his body, almost melting him into a puddle. He looked at the spark in his Spirit Sea and saw that the blue Deicide me was seeping out of the spark, radiating intense light and heat that had the just-calmed Spirit Sea seething once more.


    Tang Jie realized then why the fire spirit wanted to level up the spark. Without this upgrade, the Deicide me would have turned him into a charred duck.


    Even with the spark''s suppression, the Deicide me''s shocking heat was still too much for Tang Jie to bear, and he almost cried out in pain.


    At this moment, Tang Jie saw the eyelids of the me Celestial Sovereign''s statue move.


    Tang Jie thought he was just seeing things at first, but then he saw the eyes slowly open.


    <i>Not good!</i>


    Tang Jie immediately knew that he was in trouble.


    The me Celestial Sovereign had probably sent down a projection.


    Although a projection was still much weaker than the original, the problem was that the me Celestial Sovereign was watching and could provide the projection a constant stream of energy, not like with the will, which was done for the moment it ran out of energy.


    Tang Jie immediately turned to run.


    But rather than running out of the pagoda, he ran to the higher floors.


    At the same time, the eyes fully opened, and a cracking came from the head.


    In the past, he would have been able to manifest himself much faster, but the Pale Cloud me had been stolen, and he had lost his usual host. Relying on the statue was much slower.


    As it watched Tang Jie run, the statue threw its head back and roared in fury.


    "Audacious junior! Death to those who steal my divine me!"


    With great difficulty, the me Celestial Sovereign raised an arm and swung it through the air.
