“Ksitigarbha Mantra!”
A chilling voice echoed in the mind ocean.
As Chu Kuangren’s soul energy surged violently, a mighty and divine Buddhist Avatar appeared!
The avatar’s Buddhist Light rose into the air. Its expression was ever so benevolent.
Then, waves of Brahmic Chimes reverberated throughout the entire mind ocean.
“How is this possible?” The Soul Vanquishing successor was stunned to see the Buddhist Avatar, and a look of terror appeared in his eyes.
…
On the outside, inside the enchanted boundary formation spell, Chu Kuangren stood still after he was hit by the purple demonic light as if he was immobilized.
“What is going on?”
“Is this the Soul Vanquishing successor’s hidden technique?”
Some of the surviving sky-prides and Heavenly Champions were puzzled.
“Rumor has it that the Soul Vanquishing Tribe possesses a secret body possession technique, and it looks like the rumors are true.” Chi Zhan was surprised.
‘I see. So that’s the Soul Vanquisher’s true motive all along, huh?’
“Hmph! Possession?”
“A monster like this should not be allowed to exist in this world!” Zhuo Donglai said with a frosty-cold gaze.
No matter if it was Chu Kuangren or the Soul Vanquishing successor, whoever had the three great Immortal Physiques would be a threat to him.
He would not allow someone like that to remain in this world.
Zhuo Donglai channeled the last of his Immortal’s Core energy, preparing to finish Chu Kuangren once and for all. However, Chi Zhan stopped him.
“I won’t allow you to do it,” Chi Zhan said coldly.
After all, the Soul Vanquishing successor was still one of their Demonic Dao cultivators. He could not stand idly by as someone ruined his fellow demonic cultivator’s plans.
“Hmph. I don’t care if it’s Chu Kuangren or the Demonic Dao, but anyone who threatens the existence of my Immortal Hall’s Young Imperial Commander must be destroyed!”
Somewhere far away, Zhi Lei’s gaze was cold.
His figure disappeared in a flash as he charged toward Chu Kuangren’s body.
However, at that time, a mysterious energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from Chu Kuangren’s body, and waves upon waves of Brahmic Chimes sounded.
Zhi Lei, who was about to attack, immediately felt a splitting headache under the influence of the Brahmic Chimes. He was in so much pain that he fell to the ground.
“D*mn it. What’s happening?!”
Everyone was also affected.
Just when everyone was confused by what was happening, a ray of Buddhist Light shot into the air.
Buddhist Light radiated from Chu Kuangren’s body and eventually formed a mighty Buddhist Avatar, its divine aura spreading across the land.
Looking at the Buddhist Avatar, everyone felt their souls were about to be ripped apart from their bodies. It was an extremely discomforting feeling.
Meanwhile, inside the mind ocean, Chu Kuangren’s soul reached for the Soul Vanquishing successor.
The Ksitigarbha Avatar behind him also attacked at the same time.
“No!”
The Soul Vanquishing successor roared while channeling his soul energy to its limit. One by one, he launched his soul spikes at Chu Kuangren.
Alas, the Ksitigarbha Avatar unleashed a palm attack, shattering all the soul spikes. There was no stopping such an attack.
Boom!
The moment that palm attack landed on the Soul Vanquishing successor, the runes around him started to swirl. It was the Soul Protection Rune!
That was the Soul Vanquishing successor’s final trump card.
However, the Soul Protection Rune could not handle the Ksitigarbha Buddha’s palm attack either, and it immediately shattered into pieces.
With the Soul Protection Rune shattered, the Ksitigarbha Avatar’s palm blasted the Soul Vanquishing successor into countless sparks of light. As Chu Kuangren casually grabbed those sparks of light, many scenes played in his mind.
Those were the Soul Vanquishing successor’s memory fragments.
“Oh, what a surprise.”
Chu Kuangren used the Omniscient Spirit to analyze those memory fragments.
He found out that those sparks of light could be absorbed. Hence, without a second word, he immediately did so, and a lot of memories emerged inside his mind.
Most were information about the Ten Demonic Dao Tribes.
“Interesting.”
Following that, Chu Kuangren’s consciousness returned to his body from the mind ocean.
He opened his eyes, which radiated with Buddhist Light like two vortexes that were about to absorb everyone’s soul into them.
Laying before him were all of the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions who could not withstand the Ksitigarbha Mantra’s power and were trembling in pain.
“Hah! It’s time for all of you to die.”
The Ksitigarbha Avatar behind Chu Kuangren slammed its palm down onto everyone.
A silent soul energy fluctuation spread.
Under that palm attack, the souls of Zhuo Donglai, Zhi Lei, Chi Zhan, the Wuguan successor, and others were immediately destroyed, leaving only their bodies, which collapsed to the ground soon after.
“Retreat!”
Terrified, the Corpse Demon successor tried to escape.
However, at that moment, the surrounding space and time froze in place. To his surprise, he could not move!
It was the Spacetime Sealing Technique!
“It’s all over!”
The Corpse Demon successor fell into despair.
The next instant, a strand of sword qi shot through the air and toward him. The Corpse Demon successor did not even have the power to resist before the sword qi tore him to shreds!
The killer formation that had been set up to fight Chu Kuangren failed miserably!
None of them could even injure Chu Kuangren.
The sky-prides and Heavenly Champions witnessing the battle all fell silent. They were overwhelmed with a deep sense of powerlessness.
The Battle of Heavenly Champions…
Were they supposed to fight against someone like that?
Who were they kidding?!
If they had to go against such a terrifying being, would dying be better?
However, Chu Kuangren ignored everyone else and swept his Immortal Consciousness across the whole area, gathering everything useful he could find.
For example, Immortal Weapons, armors, Yin and Yang Rings, or even some sky-prides and Heavenly Champions who possessed Immortal Physiques. After all, their Immortal Physiques could be collected for research purposes.
All in all, Chu Kuangren had gained many things from the battle.
“Geez, I have to thank them for coming all this way to give me these wonderful items. They were all such kind-hearted souls.” Chu Kuangren lamented as he stepped on Zhuo Donglai’s head and picked up Chi Zhan’s Immortal Sword.
The cultivators from afar could not help but shudder upon hearing what he said.
‘That devil!’
‘This guy is certainly the devil!’
“From this day onward, we must try our best not to provoke him. He’s not human!”
“If he were standing before me right now, I bet I’d have to hand over my will of the Immortal World obediently without any complaints. He’s simply terrifying.”
“Sigh. Is there anyone else in the younger generation who can go against him?”
“I bet even the six Young Commanders of the Kunlun Immortal Hall will have trouble fighting him.”
Everyone was engaged in a discussion.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren took out Lan Yu and the others from his Enchanted Sleeve.
When they saw the ruined landscape with corpses everywhere and Chu Kuangren unscathed, they were in utter disbelief.
‘Did all of these sky-prides and Heavenly Champions come to kill our Chief?!’
‘More importantly, all of them were killed by the Chief alone?’
‘How did he even do that?’
‘This is simply unbelievable!’
“Zhao Fangfei,” Chu Kuangren suddenly said.
“Here!” Zhao Fangfei responded quickly.
She looked at Chu Kuangren, feeling as though he was a stranger. ‘How long has it been? I can’t believe the Chief’s power has reached such an unattainable level.’
Chu Kuangren raised his hand, unleashing the Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol.
The power of life and death emerged!
Soon, most of Zhao Fangfei’s injuries were healed. Besides that, he had also forced out the undead qi inside her body.
“Thanks a lot, Chief.”
It warmed Zhao Fangfei’s heart.
“Alright. Start telling me everything that happened from the beginning.”
With that, Zhao Fangfei started telling her story, which included how she became the Baimei successor.
The situation was not that complicated.
Back then, Zhao Fangfei came across a fortunate encounter and found the Baimei Tribe’s inheritance in the ruins somewhere. She was then made aware of the current situation of the Baimei Tribe, which was not good, to say the least. To hide her identity, she joined the Hundred Academy.
Later, she was hunted down by the demonic cultivators, and the rest was history.
She was used as bait to lure Chu Kuangren out.
“From this day onward, there’s no need for you to hide anymore. As long as I’m the Hundred Academy’s Chief, no one can lay a finger on you!” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
His intentions were unquestionable.
“Thank you, Chief!”
Zhao Fangfei was very moved.
The other Hundred Academy Heavenly Champions were delighted as well.
After all, who would not like having a handsome Chief who was so protective, unparalleled in strength, and almost flawless in every way possible?
