Chapter 2103
2103 Frenzied Minotaur, Violet Pupil, The Devil King
“However, this aura is rather familiar.”
“Master, based on the analysis, the black qi actually matches the Heavenly Shadow a lot.”
Heavenly Shadow was the being hatched from the Devil Egg.
Ever since Chu Kuangren entered the Great Hongmeng Universe, Heavenly Shadow went on his own cultivation journey.
“Is this mountain ridge related to the devil somehow?” Chu Kuangren wondered.
Nevertheless, he ventured deeper and encountered many insane vicious beasts along the way.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Then, a figure rushed out from a cave with a terrifying aura.
Given the horns on his head, it was a beastman or a minotaur.
His eyes were bloodshot as he charged at Chu Kuangren. The Great Dao in him released a frenzied presence.
“Oh, he’s one of the explorers from before.”
Chu Kuangren found the minotaur familiar because he saw the beastman outside. However, he did not expect the next time he saw the minotaur to be when the latter had lost his sanity and gone mad.
It must be the black qi in the area.
The minotaur was a Great Dao cultivator, yet he went insane because of the black qi. It proved how powerful the black qi must be.
“Grand Radiant Palm!”
Chu Kuangren channeled the Radiant Great Dao energy and blasted it at the charging minotaur in the form of a massive Radiant palm seal.
“Bang!”
The minotaur was pushed back, but his sturdy body and Grand Dao Realm cultivation protected him from heavy damage.
Hence, he continued to charge at Chu Kuangren.
Each stomp and punch contained the strongest power of the Strength Dao, and his frenzied charge made the black qi in his path rumble.
“I can use this chance to test my cultivation.” An idea popped up in Chu Kuangren’s mind.
He had been learning many Radiant cultivation techniques at the Holy Radiant Church and simply needed a practice target.
“Sixty-Four Light Prison!”
Chu Kuangren channeled the Radiant Great Dao and manifested white pillars of light that fell from the sky. A total of sixty-four pillars formed a cage that trapped the minotaur on the spot.
“Roar!”
The minotaur grabbed the pillars and roared. He used all his strength to try to break free. Even the veins on his forehead were popping.
“Crack!”
The light pillars cracked, inch by inch!
By then, Chu Kuangren had hovered into the sky, and the Radiant Great Dao’s energy in him manifested into a long white bow.
As he drew the string, a white arrow formed. “Radiant Divine Arrow!”
“Swoosh!”
The arrow perforated the void and punctured a hole in the minotaur’s chest, thus damaging the Great Dao in its body.
Even so, the minotaur continued its frenzied rampage. He channeled the remaining energy he had and roared.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
“Bang!”
With the light pillars shattered, the minotaur jumped to the sky and threw a punch at Chu Kuangren. The domineering fist energy gushed forward like a tornado, causing the void to buzz and ripple.
“Great Judgment of Light!”
Chu Kuangren raised his hand to summon a giant ball of light.
The ball of light crashed down, and its powerful energy shook the entire mountain ridge. Its absolute force immediately dispelled the domineering fist energy.
The minotaur roared as he raised both his arms into a defensive stance to block the ball of light.
However, the ball of light was powerful, and he was already injured by the Radiant Divine Arrow. He was no match for it.
The ball of light crushed his body bit by bit. A large amount of blood splattered and painted the land red.
As a light pillar shot upward, the mountain ridge was turned into a massive crater that spanned over tens of thousands of kilometers. In the center of the crater was the minotaur’s mutilated body.
The signs of life were slowly leaving him.
Chu Kuangren glanced at the dying minotaur before he looked at the cave where the beastman charged out.
The cave was at the end of the mountain ridge, and rumbling black qi came out from within. It was quite terrifying.
“Let me see what secret lies beyond.”
Chu Kuangren entered the cave in a flash. At the same time, he veiled himself with the Radiant energy to prevent the black qi from corroding him.
However, the deeper he ventured, the denser the black qi.
Even with the Radiant energy’s protection, the black qi seeped into his body and affected his mental state.
If his Daoist core were not indestructible, he might not have been able to venture deeper.
“Interesting. What is the cave hiding?”
At the end of the cave, Chu Kuangren saw a violet orb floating in the air.
An orb was a simplification because it looked more like an eyeball.
“A violet eyeball? Whose eyeball is this?”
With just a glance, a blast of energy shook his mind and started to affect his mental state.
It was trying to rob his sanity and drive him crazy.
“Analyzing… Failed.”
“Analyzing… Failed.”
Lil Ai swiftly scanned the strange energy that entered Chu Kuangren’s body, but it was too strange for Lil Ai to analyze it in such a short time.
However, something more surprising happened next.
The violet eyeball transformed into a streak of light and entered Chu Kuangren’s body.
“Oh? Interesting guy. You’re suitable to be my host,” a feminine voice sounded in Chu Kuangren’s head.
“Who are you?” Chu Kuangren asked with a frown.
“You don’t need to know who I am. It is your honor to become the host of the Devil King.”
‘Devil King?’
He had not heard of the name before, but if the voice was bold enough to call itself king, it must be at least a Monarch-class cultivator.
Powerful energy corroded Chu Kuangren’s sanity, pushing him over the edge of insanity.
“Locked onto the source of the energy!” Lil Ai’s voice sounded.
“Suppress it!”
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes. He channeled the Radiant energy in him, and by following Lil Ai’s guidance, he tried to suppress the violet eyeball inside him.
“Interesting. You seem to host an interesting soul inside you.”
The feminine voice seemed surprised at Lil Ai’s existence, but Chu Kuangren was unfazed.
He sat with his legs crossed and continued to suppress the eyeball’s power.
However, the frenzied intent did not diminish. On the contrary, it was slowly growing stronger.
No matter how sturdy Chu Kuangren’s Daoist core was, the black qi started to affect him, and he started to feel vicious qi inside him.
Vicious qi?
A sudden realization struck him.
He pointed his sword hand sign at his forehead, and a white lotus bloomed at his fingertip.
It was the Bodhi Samadhi that could cleanse one of their negative emotions.
With the Bodhi Samadhi cast to erase the vicious qi inside him, he slowly regained his calm.
“Little guy, you’re quite interesting.”
The Bodhi Samadhi’s effect surprised the so-called Devil King.
“If so, let us have a battle of the soul,” the feminine voice said.
Chu Kuangren’s consciousness entered the realm of his own mind.
The mind realm was flooded by a large amount of black clouds.
Above the clouds was a feminine figure sitting on a throne, peering down at Chu KUangren.
Her long black hair, her leggy figure, her fair and slender arms, and her lazy posture — every aspect of her screamed superiority.
She was like a queen that could enchant all life with her wicked charms.
