“Chu Kuangren!! Let’s die together!”
Chakra King growled before an extremely intrepid energy erupted from his body. Spiritual qi from the surroundings began to boil like burning oil as it frenziedly seeped into his body, rapidly increasing his spiritual power.
The Seventh Forefather’s expression changed. “This is the Great Demon Disintegration Technique!”
“Great Demon Disintegration Technique; you want us to perish together?” Daoist runes flashed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes as he analyzed Chakra King.
The Great Demon Disintegration Technique is a peculiar technique that originated from demonic orthodoxies. It would depend upon burning the root foundation in one’s body to rapidly increase battle strength. Such a technique would deal massive damage to enemies but even greater damage to oneself!
In the most fortunate of circumstances, the user of this technique would end up destroying their cultivation base, but in the worst-case scenario, the user would self-destruct and explode on the spot!
It was a type of technique that would bring all to an end. Even in demonic orthodoxies, this technique had been labeled as forbidden, so demonic cultivators who could cultivate it had become lesser and lesser.
Chakra King was one of them.
He knew that he had little hope of making out of this alive, hence he used this technique as a last resort.
Boom!
A loud blast was heard from the void. Chakra King had disappeared from where he was standing as he had dashed towards Chu Kuangren.
Throwing out a punch, a violent spiritual power with an ominously cold Daoist Rhyme burst out and locked down on Chu Kuangren.
“White Lotus Light of Purification!” White lotuses appeared around Chu Kuangren’s body, neutralizing Chakra King’s first wave of attack.
However, the second wave of his attack was already coming in hot.
“Human Mountain Stamp!” Chu Kuangren activated the spiritual power in his body and threw out a palm attack. With that, the Human Mountain Daoist Rhyme was unleashed to block Chakra King’s second punch with brute force.
There was another loud boom and the void quaked. The sheer force of their clash swept through the entire place like a tornado. Quite a few cultivators around them were flung off into the air.
Just as Chakra King was about to follow up with another attack, the Seventh Forefather intervened and lashed out a beam of sword ray, attempting to force him back.
However, Chakra King reacted to it with an unexpected move. Instead of standing down, he sustained and endured the sword ray head-on before he waved both his arms wilfully, activating his Daoist Rhyme. He had a look on his face that said he must have Chu Kuangren dead whatever the means.
Chu Kuangren was simply too incredible.
Even Chakra King felt fearful of Chu Kuangren. To Chakra King, as long as Chu Kuangren lives on, he would surely be a huge threat to the Underworld Palace or even the entire demonic orthodoxy in the days to come.
Besides, Chu Kuangren had murdered Zhao Wuji, so Chakra King hated him to the core. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well drag Chu Kuangren along with him.
“Sage Technique, Yin Ender Finger!” Chakra King pointed out a finger, and an ominously chilling finger strength landed on Chu Kuangren’s shoulder.
With a loud thud, the finger strength imprinted a big crater on his enemy’s shoulder, almost severing Chu Kuangren’s whole shoulder.
However, what happens next left Chakra King staring wide-eyed and mouth agape.
He saw a huge amount of flesh sprouts started growing on the blood crater on Chu Kuangren’s shoulder — firstly the bone, then the muscle fibers, and lastly the skin. Within seconds, the blood crater that he inflicted had healed completely!
Chu Kuangren’s skin looked as fair and perfect as always, not showing even the tiniest sign of the injury he had sustained earlier.
“How is this possible?!”
Chakra King was baffled. What kind of technique was this?
While Chakra King was still recovering from the shock, Chu Kuangren seized this window of opportunity and whipped out his Descendant Self Sword. The valiant sword qi straight away blew Chakra King off his feet.
Following that, Chu Kuangren levitated into the air as his Five Supreme Foundation Levels radiated with resplendent divine rays. The surface of his body glowed with light patterns that looked like gold and jade. With the boost of his Golden Jade Body, Chu Kuangren’s spiritual power was raised to maximal capacity.
“Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!”
He cast the Emperor Technique once again and the overwhelming Emperor Aura locked down onto Chakra King.
Ghastly purplish sword rays were unleashed!
In an instant, he slew Chakra King right there and then!
Tonight, Chu Kuangren had slain two Honorable Supremes back to back!
Holding the Descendant Self Sword in one hand, dressed in a peerless white robe, with shoulder-length raven hair, and Sword-based Daoist Rhyme emanating around his body; under the moonlight, Chu Kuangren looked exactly like a sword fairy who had descended from the skies.
Everyone stared at Chu Kuangren’s empyrean demeanor, spellbound by the sight before them.
“Brother Chu, you are truly god-like!”
Amongst the crowd, Li Xingchen could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Even the Sage Ruler Remnant Spirit inside his body was amazed. “Such a peerless individual, I don’t think there have been many like him throughout the ages.”
“Indeed. Without a doubt.”
Li Xingchen nodded in agreement. He then said, “Teacher, now that we have obtained your heart, what shall we do next?”
“When you get back, I will teach you how to refine it.”
There were indescribable joy and excitement in the Sage Ruler Remnant Spirit’s tone.
Li Xingchen felt rather perplexed at that, but he did not give it any much thought and took it that his teacher was excited at being able to increase his student’s strength.
The massacre continued for the whole night, and it only came to a stop at the break of dawn.
The demonic cultivators had all been annihilated.
The rift of the secret realm has closed too.
“It’s just a shame that we couldn’t find that demonic heart,” King Qian said disappointingly after he had returned to the Royal Palace.
That was a Sage Ruler heart after all, and although it was a demonic heart, it was still extremely sought after. It would be a priceless possession to cultivators who had not attained the Sage level.
“Perhaps the rumors were inaccurate,” the Seventh Forefather said.
“Perhaps.”
King Qian shook his head and put that thought behind him. He then gave Chu Kuangren a fist salute and said, “Praise Brother Chu for helping us clear out the demonic cultivators this time. Otherwise, we couldn’t have done it on our own.”
“You’re very welcome, King Qian. Oh right, where did Brother Li go?” Chu Kuangren smiled and asked for Li Xingchen’s whereabouts.
King Qian replied, “I think he went to nurse his injuries. Brother Li has been of massive help in exterminating the demonic cultivators this time. He has truly lived up to his title of the White Jade Hotel’s Young Master. We mistakenly captured him last time due to a misunderstanding. Truth be told, I still feel terribly sorry for that mistake.”
“Brother Li is not someone who holds grudges, so don’t worry about that too much, King Qian. If there’s nothing else, I shall entrust King Qian with the rest of the matters.”
“No problem. Go and rest, Brother Chu.”
“Alright.”
As soon as Chu Kuangren returned home, he immediately organized the items that he had looted from this battle.
He had gained quite a lot from this big battle. With the Avarice Technique, he had absorbed a great amount of demonic cultivators’ blood and flesh essences, which greatly increased his cultivation base.
Besides, the few Honorables, especially Chakra King, had immense riches.
In soulstones alone, he had gotten several million Top grade ones. There were also some rare treasures like spiritual marrows, but he fed them all to the Godly Phoenix Egg.
Moreover, since he had cast the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique twice this time, he now roughly understood the raw power of this Emperor Technique.
Although it was his self-creation, an Emperor Technique was still an Emperor Technique. With his current power, he was still unable to unleash its full potential.
Nevertheless, nobody below a Sage would have the ability to block off this sword of his now.
“Young one, I think you won’t be needing Protectors like us anymore very soon.” the Seventh Forefather sighed.
His words came with mixed emotions.
Chu Kuangren had grown too fast. He was now capable of slaying Honorable Supremes. Why would he need their protection when he was already more powerful than them?
“Seventh Forefather, the few of you have protected me all these while. Although the time is short, your sincerity has genuinely touched me. It will remain etched in my memories for a long time to come.”
Chu Kuangren said earnestly.
“Oh right, Elder Meng, I’ve decided to stay at the Qian Royal Palace for a few more days. I have some herbs that I need here. Why don’t you help me gather them?”
Chu Kuangren dished out a herbal recipe and passed it to Old Lady Meng.
When Old Lady Meng read it, she was utterly shocked. “This… this is the recipe for a Life Extension Pill. You plan to refine such a pill?”
“That’s right. Old Lady Meng. You may still have quite some time left before reaching Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five, but I’ve decided to refine a furnace of Soul Extension Pill for you first.”
Chu Kuangren flashed her a faint smile.
When Old Lady Meng heard that, she was moved to tears. She kneeled before Chu Kuangren as her body shook with emotions. “Oh, Your Highness, thanks for being so kind and considerate towards an old lady like me. I’m indelibly indebted!”
“No, no, please get up. This is what you deserve,” Chu Kuangren said.
“Thank you so much, Your Highness,” Old Lady Meng, and then she immediately went off to prepare the necessary herbs.
