Chapter 716: A Secret, Universe Secret Realm, The Soul-Vanquishing Slave Seal Reappears
The three miniverses collide within the realm.
Aware of Chu Kuangren’s abilities, the Heavenly Imperials attempted to strike first!
Boom!
The Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial attacked with a palm technique, sending a crimson palm forged out of his Emperor qi and countless Daoist patterns towards Chu Kuangren!
Chu Kuangren stood still and retaliated with his palm technique. As his universal energies and Emperor qi intertwined, a golden palm manifested.
A loud explosion ensued in the void, setting off a terrifying storm.
From another side, Heavenly Imperial Yue Zhaowu made his move too.
As his maroon Emperor qi and Daoist pattern converged, Yue Zhaowu summoned a formless ripple of energies that went straight for Chu Kuangren’s soul.
It was an offensive move towards his soul!
Fortunately, this attack was futile against Chu Kuangren.
“When a member of Blood Tribe reaches the Heavenly Imperial Realm, there’s a small chance for them to acquire a soul technique. Looks like you’re a lucky one,” Chu Kuangren said.
“How’s that possible?!”
Yue Zhaowu was appalled. For countless times, he had put his soul techniques to test, and it had never failed him, not even against stronger cultivators. Yet, Chu Kuangren had somehow managed to emerge unscathed!
Did he possess soul abilities too?!
Yue Zhaowu had his suspicions.
However, he launched another wave of attacks.
Ripples of maroon energies swarmed towards Chu Kuangren.
“Your abilities are undeniably stronger than the last Heavenly Imperial I killed. Alas, it’s still insufficient.”
Chu Kuangren uttered calmly.
Just then, a powerful burst of Emperor qi discharged from his body.
A terrifying avatar appeared on the battlefield. It seethed with the domineering presence of many Daoist Physiques’ aura that made the whole universe shudder!
Shang Honghua’s and the Redshirt Army’s jaws dropped!
“W-what’s this?!”
“Good heavens, I sense the auras of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, the Chaos Physique… and so many more Daoist Physiques! How did Brother Chu manage to achieve such a feat?!”
“So many Daoist Physiques…”
“This is impossible, just impossible…” Shang Honghua muttered incessantly. At this instance, she felt the crushing insignificance of the talents that she used to be so proud of. This Almighty Avatar alone had forced her to concede the harsh reality of the situation.
Gulp…
The Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial was overwhelmed by a deep sense of fear. “We walked right into a trap!”
He was cursing at Jian Que at this point!
The other party did not tell them just how strong Chu Kuangren was, so Jian Que was obviously leading them into a trap.
The truth was, Jian Que would have been dumbfounded, too, if he knew just how strong Chu Kuangren was.
“Run!”
The Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial immediately turned around and fled.
He controlled the size of his miniverse to a three meters radius around him and mustered as much universal energy as he could before he breached through Chu Kuangren’s miniverse. Then, he transformed into a ray of crimson light and dashed into the distance.
“Ah, I didn’t know a miniverse could be used like that. You learn something new every day.”
While Chu Kuangren possessed greater combat strength than the Heavenly Imperials, they had spent a greater amount of time getting acquainted with the miniverses. There was still more to learn about the miniverse for Chu Kuangren.
“However, that doesn’t mean you can escape.”
Chu Kuangren extended his arm.
The Almighty Avatar behind him imitated his demeanor.
The space in front of the Almighty Avatar twisted into a vortex as the Almighty Avatar’s arm extended forward. Meanwhile, a terrifying multicolored hand appeared just before the Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial!
It was none other than the hand of the Almighty Avatar!
“What’s going on?!”
The Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial was mortified!
Chu Kuangren’s Almighty Avatar was attacking him from quite a distance away. Yet, how on earth could its hand transcend through ten thousand kilometers of space to reach him?!
However, there was no time to ponder such a question.
The Almighty Avatar’s hand had locked onto the Heavenly Imperial!
“Esoteric Art, Elysian Blood Palm!”
The Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial roared, channeling his energy to its maximum level as he sent forth an enormous blood palm towards the Almighty Avatar’s attack.
As their palms slammed into each other, the Daoist patterns that were inscribed over the blood palm shattered into dust, and the conjuration disintegrated.
Meanwhile, the Almighty Avatar effortlessly pierced through the Heavenly Imperial’s attack and landed a direct hit on his body, slamming him into the ground.
The ground within several thousand kilometers radius shuddered as a giant crater formed at the site of impact. From there, the fissures spread and formed multiple valleys, which dramatically altered the landscape of the planet.
At the center of the crater, the Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial lay motionless. His bones had been shattered, his eyes protruding from his sockets as blood flowed from his orifices. There were no signs of life left in him.
“Now, it’s your turn.” Chu Kuangren stared at Yue Zhaowu, and the Almighty Avatar lifted its hand.
As Chu Kuangren unleashed his palm technique, Yue Zhaowu’s body was destroyed and splattered across the battlefield like dust. However, his body soon restored itself back to its original form in another location in the next second.
Chu Kuangren was not surprised. Instead, he punched forward and destroyed his opponent’s body again. This time, the Almighty Avatar reached out and caught a crimson gemstone in the air while Yue Zhaowu’s body reformed with the gemstone at its center.
“Apparently, the Blood Spirit Tribe’s bodies are difficult to destroy because of this spirit core. Now that your spirit core is in my hand, do you still think you can run?”
The Blood Spirits possessed a unique body that resembled a spirit form. Their abilities to exist in a soul-like state were entirely dependent on their spirit cores, which were equivalent to flesh bodies.
The Blood Spirits could live for a long period of time because their souls were attached to their spirit cores.
As such, the destruction of the spirit core would mark the end of their lives. Even a Heavenly Imperial could not exempt themselves from this rule.
“D-don’t kill me!”
“I’ll let you in on a secret in return!”
Yue Zhaoyu hastily exclaimed.
Chu Kuangren’s interest was piqued. “What secrets could you possibly have that’s worth me sparing your life?”
“I do! It’s about a Universe Secret Realm!”
Yue Zhaowu said.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up. “A Universe Secret Realm? Interesting.”
The Universe Secret Realms were similar to secret realms found in Firmament Star. However, what distinguished both of them was that the secret realms found under the skies of Firmament Star were mostly man-made.
Meanwhile, the Universe Secret Realms were birthed naturally in the boundless universe and were not attached to any planets. Some of the high-level Universe Secret Realms could even produce lifeforms just like some planets.
It could even produce Heavenly Dao!
“Not long ago, we found a wandering Universe Secret Realm just near Asteroid Seven,” said Yue Wuzhao.
Unlike planets, Universe Secret Realms could be anywhere.
Some of the Universe Secret Realms would always remain in a wandering state as they cruised in the boundless universe.
“Tell me more.”
“We were just sent here to scout the site. The battalions will be arriving soon.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Kuangren was appalled.
Shang Honghua began to panic too. If their scouts were already composed of Heavenly Imperials, just how much more powerful would their battalion be?
“We must quickly inform my forefather.”
Shang Honghua said solemnly.
Chu Kuangren looked at Yue Zhaowu blankly as he pondered in silence for a moment. Then, with a tight grip, the Almighty Avatar destroyed Yue Zhaowu’s body again to reveal all of the spirit core.
Chu Kuangren then marked the spirit core with a stroke of mythical seal. It was a technique he had not used for a while now — the Soul-Vanquishing Slave Seal!
