Chapter 2300 Comprehend the Divine Curse Seal, Xue Huo's Disdain, Break the Curse
Chapter 2300 Comprehend the Divine Curse Seal, Xue Huo's Disdain, Break the Curse
"No! My Divine Curse Seal!" Xue Huo, in the blood pool, realized that his Divine Curse Seal was being taken away by Chu Kuangren. The seal was as important as his own life, so he got anxious.
He jumped out from the blood pool and attacked Chu Kuangren.
The powerful palm strike contained his Great Dao energy.
Chu Kuangren simply raised his palm, and a loud bang exploded.
Xue Huo was blasted away, his body was badly damaged, and it almost took his life. Chu Kuangren was surprised. He did not even use his power, and Xue Huo was defeated already.
How useless could Xue Huo be? His true self was even weaker than his clone. It was Chu Kuangren's first time seeing someone's true self weaker than the clone.
"Master, Xue Huo cultivates the Curse Dao. It's strange and unpredictable, but it doesn't really work well in actual combat," Lil Ai said.
Chu Kuangren was struck with realization.
No wonder Xue Huo hid his true self away. He was not combat-prepared, and all he could do was pull strings from the dark.
It was not that Xue Huo was weak. Quite the opposite, his Curse Dao was powerful, and when coupled with his clone, he was able to trap and kill many Monarch Seeds.
Unfortunately, he ran into Chu Kuangren, a man with an unpredictable fate and one of the scariest beings in existence.
That was why Xue Huo's curse did not work on him.
"Kill you, and the curse will be lifted, right?" Chu Kuangren muttered.
"Chu Kuangren, you and Mingyue Wuxia are wrong. Do you people really think killing me can lift the curse? Impossible. This curse will not stop until it kills everyone on the island. The humans will no longer exist in this era! I won!" Xue Huo chuckled.
His true self may have been caught and defeated, but he was not afraid.
He believed Chu Kuangren would not kill him for the sake of the people on the island. Chu Kuangren might even beg him to lift the curse.
Chu Kuangren was a virtuous man. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the other Monarch Seeds to attack him in the Ancestor Tombs just because he did not want to disturb the human elders.
"You won? What makes you think so?" Chu Kuangren was expressionless.
He pulled out a sword and thrust it at Xue Huo, pinning his body on the wall.
It was a pitch-black sword with runes carved on it. It looked strange because it was dissolving Xue Huo's curse energy.
It was an old prize that Chu Kuangren got many years ago — the Cursebreaker Sword.
"A sword that can break curses? Too bad your sword is a low-level tool. It can't break my curse."
Xue Huo remained calm while being pinned on the wall. He was right.
The Cursebreaker Sword was just a God-tier prize. It was not even a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
It was not powerful enough to break Xue Huo's curse.
Chu Kuangren did not plan to use the sword to break the curse either. He simply looked at the Divine Curse Seal in his hand. Then, he started to comprehend the seal in front of Xue Huo.
A wild thought suddenly rushed into Xue Huo's mind. Was Chu Kuangren trying to comprehend the Divine Curse Seal to deduce a way to break the curse?
It was impossible!
Xue Huo grinned and scoffed. "Chu Kuangren, you're crazy. It took me ten thousand years to comprehend the Divine Curse Seals to my current level. Now, everyone on the island has been cursed, and they have days to live at most. How are you going to find a way to break the curse within days?"
It was impossible!
"Chu Kuangren, release me and beg me to lift the curse. You can still make it…" Before Xue Huo could finish his sentence, Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign at Xue Hou's mouth, and the sword qi manifested into a needle.
His mouth was sealed!
"Shut up. Don't disturb me," Chu Kuangren said.
What the hell? Xue Huo cursed Chu Kuangren.
He could not speak a word with his mouth sewn and sealed.
All he could do was control his clone outside the cave.
"Chu Kuangren, I can bring my clone inside and kill you while you're comprehending the seal," Xue Huo thought to himself.
Just when he tried to connect to his clone, he sensed a blast of energy hitting his clone.
His clone exploded on the spot.
The sudden attack gave Xue Huo a concussion. It was as if a hammer struck his head. He wanted to cry in pain, but because his mouth was sewn and sealed, he could not make a noise.
He widened his eyes in pain and trembled.
"It's that woman!" It was Mingyue Wuxia who destroyed his clone!
She managed to suppress the curse and followed Chu Kuangren into the cave.
When she noticed Xue Huo's clone acting funny, she attacked and destroyed it without a second thought.
This time, Xue Huo's true self was hurt, so it was not that easy for him to manifest his clone again.
"Huh? Brother Chu?"
Mingyue Wuxia saw Chu Kuangren comprehending the Divine Curse Seal in the cave. Chu Kuangren continued his work as if he did not notice Mingyue Wuxia's arrival.
Mingyue Wuxia knew Chu Kuangen was aware of her presence. He just did not reply because he was doing something important.
Instead of disturbing him, she switched her attention to Xue Huo, who was pinned to the wall.
Xue Huo was covered in blood. His Great Dao was on the verge of breaking, and his body was pinned to the wall with the Cursebreaker Sword. More importantly, his mouth was sewn.
"How sad." Mingyue ed her tongue.
Annoyed by Mingyue Wuxia's contempt, Xue Hou glared at her.
"I'd like to see who will emerge victorious in the end," Xue Huo screamed in his mind.
To him, Chu Kuangren's effort was futile, and he would eventually beg Xue Huo to lift the curse.
On the second day, Chu Kuangren opened his eyes. Xue Huo scoffed and thought Chu Kuangren had finally given up.
"I see."
Chu Kuangren's eyes gleamed with realization.
"Hmph. Pretentious bastard," Xue Huo thought.
He did not believe Chu Kuangren could comprehend the Divine Curse Seal in just one night. Chu Kuangren might not even understand how the seal worked.
"The Heaven-earth Grand Curse is used to support the Blood Curse Technique. That's why all the humans on the island are cursed," Chu Kuangren muttered.
His words shocked Xue Huo.
The Heaven-Earth Grand Curse was the core essence of the Divine Curse Seal!
It was also the Ultimate-level cultivation technique contained in the seal.
How did Chu Kuangren know about that?
Could he comprehend the Divine Curse Seal in one day and find out about the Ultimate-level cultivation technique inside? How was it even possible?
Xue Huo refused to believe it, but what Chu Kuangren did next left him in awe.
Chu Kuangren's sword hand sign released a strange energy fluctuation, and a ray of pure Buddhist Light was shot at Mingyue Wuxia.
A blood mark appeared on her forehead, and then it was crushed. With that, the curse energy in her body disappeared as well.
"How is it possible?"
Xue Huo screamed inwardly, his eyes wide.
What happened before him crushed his worldview.
Chu Kuangren had comprehended the Divine Curse Seal in a day to figure out a way to break his curse!
The Blood Curse Technique was a secret technique passed down through generations within the Curse Tribe, yet Chu Kuangren had broken it within a day!
How could something so outrageous happen?
