The corpses of demonic cultivators soon started to pile up as Chu Kuangren repeatedly swung his blade. He had since killed hundred thousand demonic cultivators, it made them terrified of him. Now, only a tenth of them remained.
During that process, he had exhausted a massive amount of spiritual power. If it were another cultivator of the same cultivation level, his or her spiritual power would have depleted even after ten demonic cultivators, yet here he was, still standing.
Chu Kuangren’s cultivation foundations were too horrifyingly strong. Although his Four Supreme Foundations were not the most powerful, no one in this era would still be able to match it!
Beside him, Lan Yu had also started to turn pale with exhaustion. Her cultivation level had since broken through the Paradise Realm, and with the help of her Supreme Daoist Physique, her reserves of spiritual power were now many times higher than other cultivators at a similar level.
However, her spiritual power was starting to dwindle after long bouts of killing.
“Lan Yu, please take a break for now.”
Chu Kuangren told her gently. As long as she stayed within the bounds of the White Lotus Light of Purification, none of the enemies would be able to harm her.
“Be cautious, Master.” Lan Yu said. Then, she consumed a medicinal pill before she started to rest, to recover her strength as quickly as she could.
At that scene, the corners of every demonic cultivator’s mouth twitched.
‘Are you kidding me!’
‘We’re still in a battle with you!’
‘And both of you are outnumbered as well. How arrogant do you have to be to take a break before our very eyes?’
“The female cannot hold on anymore, and as for Chu Kuangren, even he will not be able to hold on any longer. Everyone, continue your efforts!” the leader of the Ashura Sect said.
Although there were no more than ten thousand demonic cultivators left, their combined strength would be equally terrifying if all of them were to survive. That was because most of them were Paradise realm cultivators.
Coupled with the fact that some of the higher-ups of the demonic cultivators had not even joined the fight yet, and that both Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu’s situation had not improved at all, it would become even more dangerous!
“It’s time.”
A thin old man stared at the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse from the crowd and took out a wrist bone from his Yin and Yang ring.
The moment the wrist bone was taken out, the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse trembled as if it could sense its presence.
“Hmm?” Startled, Chu Kuangren swept his gaze towards the thin old man, and a large number of runes circulated in his eyes.
“Honorable Ku Teng, the former confidant of the Supreme Demonic Honorable, part of the remaining scattered Demon Vow Sect members, cultivation level – Mid-stage Honorable Realm, cultivated Supreme Techniques… Possesses the Supreme Demonic Honorable’s remains, which is able to resonate with the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse…”
A string of information was flashed past.
A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes as he took a closer look at his opponent’s wrist bone. Indeed, it emanated an Honorable level Daoist Rhyme.
Then again, since the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse used to be part of the Supreme Demonic Honorable’s arsenal of weapons, the fact that it could resonate with its owner’s remains was not something to be shocked about.
“If this is how you intend to snatch the demonic spear, then I’m afraid you’re being too ridiculous.” Chu Kuangren snorted.
He reached out with the demonic spear in hand and urged forth an overbearingly powerful burst of spiritual power, brutally suppressing the originally-trembling demonic spear!
The expression on Honorable Ku Teng’s face changed. “I can’t believe Chu Kuangren still has such a tremendous amount of spiritual power. It’s unbelievable!”
Upon seeing Honorable Ku Teng’s actions, the other higher-up demonic cultivators had already speculated but they were still shocked by his appearance.
“There has been no news about Honorable Ku Teng ever since the Supreme Demonic Honorable’s death, so originally assumed he was also dead. I can’t believe he’s still alive.”
“The old b*st*rd has a long life I see.”
“The lifespan of a normal Honorable is usually around eight thousand years. Adding to the fact that demonic cultivators are not favored by the heavens, their lifespans should be lesser than that. But you’re telling me that this old fart has been living until now?”
“There are many items in the world that can prolong one’s lifespan. Judging by his appearance, I guess he’s not far from the Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five.”
The higher-ups of the three demonic orthodoxies quietly discussed.
Chu Kuangren looked at Honorable Ku Teng and said, “Most of the demonic cultivators’ Honorables are being held back by the Seventh Forefather and others, so I can’t believe someone like you has managed to slip past them and reach me. Not bad for an old fart.”
“Though it’s a shame. You’ve been hiding for so many years after all, why not hide longer? Besides, appearing so suddenly like that, do you want to die that badly?”
Honorable Ku Teng sneered at those words. “The Demonic Spear of Apocalypse originally belonged to the Supreme Demonic Honorable, so this item should belong to the Demon Vow Sect anyway.”
“You’re just but a scattered, outdated remnant of an orthodoxy that was wiped long ago. How dare you still seek to snatch this Sage Ruler Weapon for yourself? What an idiot.”
“You’ll never know until you try.”
Without saying anything else, Honorable Ku Teng lifted his arm. He then threw out a palm attack that was filled with an extremely evil Daoist Rhyme and hurled it towards Chu Kuangren at breakneck speed.
At contact with the attack, the white lotuses which surrounded Chu Kuangren trembled before the outer layer was ripped apart like flowers in a violent storm, and one after another, they shattered!
Ever since the start of that battle, the White Lotus Light of Purification was damaged for the very first time!
Although it was not completely broken, it lit the eyes of demonic cultivators up with hope. Their faces burst into delight.
“Haha, this b*st*rd is running out of spiritual power.”
“Keep up the attacks guys!”
“Chu Kuangren, prepare for your death!”
Together, the demonic cultivators tried their best to attack as multiple Daoist Rhymes erupted and landed on the white lotuses unceasingly. Hit badly, the white lotuses trembled and shattered bit by bit.
Just when the Honorable Ku Teng was going for another attack, a young man suddenly appeared before him.
“Who the hell are you?” Honorable Ku Teng’s expression changed a little and only when he took a closer look at the young man’s face that his pupils shrank in disbelief.
“You… Are you the Supreme Demonic Honorable? No, that can’t be. He’s been dead for a long time now.” Honorable Ku Teng denied.
“I’m one of his descendants! Please lend me that wrist bone that you’re holding, I have an idea to retrieve the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse. ”
The young man looked at the wrist bone in his arms with a fiery gaze.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was still dealing with the demonic cultivators’ multiple barrages of attacks. Since he had to maintain his three Daoist Physique Transformations, the White Lotus Light of Purification, and repetitively deploy his Sage Ruler Techniques, Chu Kuangren had consumed just way too much spiritual power.
However, he did not panic as his expression remained unbothered.
“Gluttonous Devouring Technique!”
A burst of peculiar Daoist Rhyme suddenly erupted from Chu Kuangren’s surroundings. A horrifying surge of absorption energy then converted all of the demonic cultivators’ corpses into blood and flesh essences before they headed towards him from all directions.
For Chu Kuangren who knew the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, the mountains of demonic cultivators’ corpses were all orbs of energy essences that he could use to recover his spiritual power at any time!
Besides, unlike the ordinary pills or elixirs, he did not need a certain amount of time to digest those essences. Once the orbs of essences entered his body, they would be converted into spiritual power in a very short time. That was the reason why Chu Kuangren was so confident during this battle!
With the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, he would not need to worry about exhausting his spiritual power.
It was utterly useless for the demonic cultivators to gang up on him with their numbers!
Wanting to drag out the fight against Chu Kuangren was the demonic cultivators’ terrible mistake from the very start. The more he could kill, the more spiritual power he could replenish.
As great amounts of flesh and blood essences were absorbed into Chu Kuangren’s body like a swarm of bees flying back into their hive, his dwindling spiritual power instantly recovered at an alarming rate. He even had an excess of spiritual power!
Every demonic cultivator at the scene was almost scared silly. They had all been fighting to their deaths to exhaust Chu Kuangren of his spiritual power, yet all it took was a split second for him to recover. ‘That is just too unbelievable!’
“What kind of technique is this!”
“Why does this guy have so many techniques? All techniques that he has used are unheard of. Where the hell did he learn them from?”
“With a technique like this, why did he not use it earlier?”
“I understand now. He was creating a feint to lead us on so that we fall into the illusion that we can exhaust his spiritual power and defeat him. Then again, who would ever think that he has such a technique!”
“Godd*mn it, we were doomed to fail since the beginning. Our hundred thousand demonic cultivators are not even a threat to him! We have been dancing in his palms throughout the entire battle!”
