Chapter 161: The Demonic Heart Is Gone, Killing The One Who Got Away
“Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!”
Chu Kuangren’s calm voice was an extremely large contrast to the might of that Emperor Technique he had just unleashed, and it shocked everyone at the scene.
The mighty purplish sword ray, which contained a powerful Emperor’s Aura within it, emanated outwards. Wherever the sword qi passed by, the void shook so frantically that it was at the point of breaking down!
Meanwhile, in the face of such an unprecedented amount of power, the Ashura Sect’s Elder Sect Master’s anxiety was at its extreme.
“Great Ashura Avatar!” He roared, almost depleting all the spiritual power within his body to infuse them all into the avatar’s saber attack.
The moment the purplish sword ray collided with the avatar’s saber ray, the former seemingly used a crushing battle form to shatter the latter.
Not being able to withstand that attack in the first place, the Daoist Rhyme and spiritual energy within the Great Ashura Avatar immediately collapsed and dispersed into the surroundings the second it made contact with the purplish sword ray.
The unyielding sword ray engulfed the Ashura Sect’s Elder Sect Master mercilessly, which cracked and eventually shattered the armor that he was wearing!
“No!” What came after was a tragic cry as the Elder Sect Master’s body was torn apart under the barrage of sword qi from all directions, with mists of blood spurting everywhere.
Chu Kuangren raised his hand and activated the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, transporting the corpse of the Ashura Sect’s Elder Sect Master into the Avarice dimension to refine his blood and flesh essence.
The blood and flesh essence of an Honorable Supreme was a big nourishment!
After killing the Elder Sect Master, the sword ray smashed onto the ground, and everyone who lived in Capital City could feel the ground shake a few times.
Among the cloud of smoke and dust that rose, the crowd could make out a huge crack in the ground that was thousands of feet long and hundreds of feet deep. It was like a great canyon!
The forests there were completely obliterated.
“What... What a horrifying sword technique! ”
“By the gods, is this the poise of an Emperor Technique? It’s just too strong! Even an Honorable Supreme was killed in a single attack!”
“The rumors of Chu Kuangren mentally sparring with a Sage and creating his own Emperor Technique seems true now. What kind of monster is he!”
“We had no chance of winning in the first place at all!”
Chu Kuangren’s single attack had caused such a shock to the demonic cultivators present that they ceased all intentions of resisting. All they wished was to leave that place as soon as they could.
Unfortunately, with an army led by King Qian himself and also the help of both Honorable Qing Lan and Old Lady Meng, none of the demonic cultivators ever stood a chance to escape at all!
At that time, several figures rushed out from a spatial rift not far away.
These cultivators were trying to take advantage of the chaos to enter the secret realm, wanting to get the demonic heart for themselves. Zhao Wuji was among one of those people who went in.
Upon seeing him, the Chakra King who was not far away smiled in delight. “Wuji, have you gotten the demonic heart?”
“The demonic heart was nowhere to be seen. Someone is one step ahead of me!”
Zhao Wuji’s expression was horribly unpleasant.
The same thing could be said for the Chakra King and the other demonic cultivators since everyone had put in so much effort for that demonic heart. Now that someone had stolen it first, everyone could not help but feel a seething rage within them.
This was especially so for the Ashura Sect’s Sect Master. Not only did he lose his Elder Sect Master, but the demonic heart was nowhere to be seen as well. In other words, not only did he fail to steal a chicken, but he had lost his bait too.
“Retreat!”
The Chakra King forced the Seventh Forefather back with a finger attack and immediately dragged Zhao Wuji away from the scene. Yet right at that moment, a large amount of sword qi suddenly gathered from everywhere and formed into twelve long sword qi pillars. It was the Nine Heaven Sword Prison Transformation!
“To all the demonic cultivators who’re here today, none of you shall leave!” Chu Kuangren said in a chilling tone.
Having just killed an Honorable Supreme, the cold killing intent still lingered around his body and struck fear into every single demonic cultivator!
Under King Qian and his men’s encirclement, the number of demonic cultivators had decreased drastically too. Only a few strong cultivators were still struggling to hold their ground.
“Kill Chu Kuangren first and the Nine Heaven Sword Prison will break apart!” The Ashura Sect’s Sect Master yelled and led a group of demonic cultivators towards Chu Kuangren. Despite having no chance of winning, that was all they could do for their survival.
The weakest demonic cultivator among the group that was rushing towards Chu Kuangren was in the Honorable Realm. Even Honorables like the Ashura Sect and Euphoria Sect’s Sect Masters would be scared to death in the face of their powerful poise, let alone ordinary Battle Monarchs.
It was a pity that the person they were going against was Chu Kuangren!
“Phantom Light Strike!”
No one could see how Chu Kuangren moved.
All they saw was a stream of light flashed across their eyes before they felt a horrifying power erupting from their bodies as if it was going to completely tear their flesh and bones apart.
That was the power of the Human Mountain Stamp!
Boom, boom, boom!
A stream of light moved quickly among the demonic cultivators, and one by one, they were all sent flying. Those who suffered minor injuries only experienced some blood vomiting, while those who suffered more severe injuries were beaten into a pulp that eventually exploded into a mist of blood!
Not long after, more than a dozen of Honorable demonic cultivators were beaten until they laid on all sides on the ground with no strength for resistance left in them anymore.
“Gluttonous Devouring Technique!” Chu Kuangren then revealed himself, and a dark vortex appeared in the center of his palm like the mouth of a dark beast.
The demonic cultivators were all sucked into that vortex which refined them all.
“How... How can he be so horrifying!” Not far away, Zhao Wuji immediately turned pale upon witnessing that scene.
He had improved quite a bit in the three years, so he thought that he had closed the gap of power between Chu Kuangren and him.
However, it now seemed like that gap was getting larger and larger instead!
“For the one that slipped away three years ago, come and meet your death as well!” Chu Kuangren immediately shifted his gaze onto Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji instantly felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly urged his spiritual power and increased his Daoist Physique’s power to its maximum. “Supreme Demonic Daoist Physique, World Ending Punch!”
A powerful Daoist Rhyme erupted alongside the fist attack!
Although that attack was not weaker than an Honorable’s, Chu Kuangren instantly shattered that Daoist Rhyme with a mere slap from his palm.
That horrifying power struck Zhao Wuji with immense fear that he quickly reached out to the Chakra King for help. “Teacher, please save me!”
However, when the Nine Heaven Sword Prison was deployed, the Chakra King was once again occupied with the Seventh Forefather’s attack, hence he had no chance to save his disciple at all.
Turning into a stream of light, Chu Kuangren then appeared before Zhao Wuji and instantly let out a palm attack on his forehead. With the force of the Godly Mountain, the horrifying palm attack shattered Zhao Wuji’s veins, bones, and flesh!
After that, the Gluttonous Devouring Technique was activated. Before Zhao Wuji could scream in pain, he was already dragged into the Avarice dimension to be refined.
Moreover, only then did Chu Kuangren realize that although Zhao Wuji’s cultivation level was not that of an Honorable’s, the blood and flesh essences that were produced from his opponent were still far better than an Honorable’s essence.
“Is it because of the Supreme Demonic Daoist Physique?”
“Compared to a person’s cultivation level, I guess their physique was a more important factor in affecting the Gluttonous Devouring Technique’s refinement results.” Chu Kuangren soon figured it out after some pondering.
“Wuji!”
Just like that, Zhao Wuji was killed, and the Chakra King’s eyes filled with extreme rage.
One thing to note was that Zhao Wuji was his carefully-selected successor, yet he was now killed by Chu Kuangren, and he did not even leave his body behind.
“Chu Kuangren, you said that we are demonic cultivators! But your actions now are more akin to a demonic cultivator’s than us!”
“If the news of you absorbing the blood and flesh essence of others to increase your cultivation level goes out, how can you even claim to be on the side of righteousness?”
The Chakra King yelled furiously.
However, Chu Kuangren completely ignored him. After all, those mere few words could not possibly be enough to shake his Daoist heart.
“Cultivation techniques are never the ones affecting the user, it’s the user who determines what to do with the techniques instead. In your hands, this Gluttonous Devouring Technique is a technique used to commit evil, yet in my hands, this technique is a tool for me to eliminate evil! ”
Chu Kuangren casually replied. Having refined dozens of Honorables and even an Honorable Supreme, his momentum steadily increased and broke through by a small step. He was now in the late stage of the Battle Monarch cultivation!
“D*mn it!” The Chakra King’s expression was terrifyingly unpleasant. With the Seventh Forefather in front of him and Chu Kuangren at his back, he never had a chance of winning this battle at all!
