The immense aura from the room shadowed the realm as though an ancient Celestial Demon was awakening from its slumber.
The cultivators who sensed the aura were shocked, including Fire Boy and Huang Yuyi.
“This energy… It’s powerful!”
“Who is that in the room?”
“Wait. Isn’t that the person who bid against Fire Boy and Huang Yuyi earlier? Why is he intervening in the battle between the Mountain Ghoul and Pseudo Celestial Demon?”
The crowd assumed that the person in the room stopped bidding against Fire Boy and Huang Yuyi because he was afraid of the two of them. However, it seemed like their assumption was wrong.
The terrifying aura was definitely that of a Prodigy, and someone with such power should not be afraid of Fire Boy and Huang Yuyi.
“This voice…”
Huang Yuyi recognized the voice. Now, she was not just surprised but afraid.
She knew the voice well because it had haunted her in nightmares since her defeat.
When the door opened, a figure in white emerged with white robes, black hair, handsome features that rivaled a deity, and Immortal Sparks that shimmered around him, shadowing the sun and moon.
“It’s him!”
Huang Yuyi was overwhelmed by her fear for Chu Kuangren as she stared at him blankly, and her face turned pale.
“Leave!”
Fire Boy grabbed Huang Yuyi and fled the auction hall immediately.
“Is Chu Kuangren that scary? A Fire Division Heavenly Champion and a Godly Phoenix Prodigy fled as soon as they saw him,” someone lamented after noticing the two of them fleeing the scene.
However, Chu Kuangren’s presence at the auction still shocked everyone present.
“Chu Kuangren!”
The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist reacted grimly to his appearance.
He never had any contact with Chu Kuangren before, but he had heard of the name and his Chaos Celestial Demon Physique.
“It’s him!”
Lin Qiu and her men exchanged a hopeful gaze when they saw Chu Kuangren.
“Is he the one with the Innate Chaos Celestial Demon Physique?”
“He is the one that the Lord values…”
The three of them stared at Chu Kuangren curiously.
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren remained calm even when he became the center of attention. He looked at the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist and said, “These three are in my protection now. So, leave.”
His emotionless tone and nonchalance were proof that he did not take the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist seriously.
The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist raised a brow and snickered. “I heard Chu Kuangren is an arrogant man, and now that I have seen you with my own eyes, I believe the rumors are right. However, don’t you think it’s a little outrageous to send me off with just one word?!”
A terrifying aura erupted from the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist, attempting to suppress Chu Kuangren.
Under his domineering aura, common sky-prides would be shaking in fear already, but not Chu Kuangren.
To him, the aura was like a cool breeze. It was not even threatening at all.
“You’re the outrageous one to think you can start a scene in front of me using a clone of yours,” Chu Kuangren said.
Then, he stepped into the air and glided toward the restriction boundary of the Immortal Weapon
Everyone else was shocked by his words, especially Lin Qiu and her men.
They could not believe that the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist, who they had been fighting for a while now, was just a clone.
If that was the clone, how powerful would his true self be?
The thought of that sent chills down their spines.
“Is this why a Prodigy is so terrifying?” someone exclaimed quietly
Even among Prodigies, there were differences. The top-notch Prodigies possessed unimaginable powers and had a higher chance to reach Embodier Realm compared to other sky-prides.
If common Prodigies had a one percent chance to achieve Embodier Realm, the top Prodigies would have as much as ten percent.
“Chu Kuangren, you have keen eyes.”
The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist was also surprised that Chu Kuangren could see through his clone in one glance.
Then, Chu Kuangrean reached out to the restriction boundary.
“Hmph. Fool. This restriction boundary is not something you can simply remove,” said one of the Mountain Ghoul cultivators.
However, what happened next shocked everyone.
Chu Kuangren put his hand over the restriction boundary and released a terrifying Celestial Demon qi from his palm.
Once the Celestial Demon qi collided with the restriction boundary, it started to shake.
Following a series of low rumbling, a breach in the shape of Chu Kuangren’s palm appeared on the boundary without him even breaking a sweat in the process.
“Is his Celestial Demon Physique so terrifying?!”
The Mountain Ghoul Cultivators gasped and gulped in fear.
The moment the breach opened up, Chu Kuangren walked into the boundary and then looked at the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist. “You can still leave.”
“Chu Kuangren, I want to see how powerful you really are!”
The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist narrowed his eyes as he channeled his Immortal’s Core to the limit.
“Mountain Ghoul Art, Black Mountain Suppression!”
Daoist patterns and Immortal’s Core energy shook the void as an enormous mountain crashed onto Chu Kuangren.
“Have you seen the real Celestial Demon Physique?” Chu Kuangren said calmly, with no intention of dodging or moving.
He raised his fair hand, where Immortal Sparks shimmered and countless Daoist patterns swirled around his palm, up into the sky. Then, terrifying Celestial Demon qi gushed out like a tsunami.
As Celestial Demon qi intertwined in the void, Life and Death intent surged, prompting the white life intent and black death intent to merge.
With that, it formed the Life and Death Symbol that spread across the sky and crushed the land.
Along with a bang, it crashed into a black-colored mountain.
Even though it was just a collision, the nearby spaces shattered into pieces.
Having been caught within the Life and Death Symbol, the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist’s body was destroyed under the barrage of the Celestial Demon qi.
It only took Chu Kuangren one move to destroy the Mountain Ghoul’s Divine Daoist’s clone.
“Chu Kuangren! I will remember this!” The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist warned and glared at Chu Kuangren before his clone disintegrated.
Chu Kuangren was, in fact, not concerned. He had countless enemies waiting in line to kill him, so one more Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist would not affect the outcome at all.
Then, he looked at the other Mountain Ghoul cultivators, who were horrified, scared, and wanted to flee.
However, the remaining Life and Death intent was still lingering around, and the Life and Death Symbol crushed them into blood mists.
“Chu Kuangren’s power is really scary.”
“It’s my first time seeing it with my own eyes.”
“No wonder Huang Yuyi and Fire Boy ran away as soon as they saw Chu Kuangren. I, too, would run if I was on the opposite side against him.”
The sky-prides and cultivators were awestruck by Chu Kuangren’s strength, and it deterred some of them from their ulterior agendas.
Lin Qiu and her men were stunned, to say the least.
They could barely challenge the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist, yet Chu Kuangren defeated the clone in one move.
“Is this the power of the real Chaos Celestial Demon Physique?”
Lin Qui and her men stared at Chu Kuangren’s silhouette, which gave them a sense of safety.
From then on, the white robes and his transcendental presence left a strong impression on them.
