“Thank you? I think I'd much rather kill you!”

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

The mysterious black-robed man's expression froze, and he looked toward his back unbelievably. “Impossible, this zone is where the demonic qi is most concentrated at. Aside from Sages, even an Honorable Supreme who neared here would get affected!”

“Who is it?!”

The reason he dared to release the demonic beast, then harvest its soul energy while a Sage was busy with suppressing it, was not only because of his strong cultivation base and the Soul-Devouring Dagger. It was also because he knew that no cultivators could come near the moment the demonic beast broke the seal and released an immense amount of demonic qi, so n.o.body would come and stop him.

However, it now seemed like things had developed beyond his calculations.

Both the black-robed man and the School of White Lotus's Sage directed their gaze to the source of that voice.

All they saw was a white-robed figure slowly approaching them.

The person they saw was donned in a wide-sleeved white robe which looked pure and peerless, and he had a gorgeous sword hung over his waist. Along with the white sandals at his feet, his waist-length raven hair, and his exquisite facial features, it was almost impossible for anyone to pick out any flaws in this person.

There were many white lotuses surrounding his body, which added a speckle of sacredness onto his already divine appearance.

Wherever he pa.s.sed by, the demonic qi faded and did not affect him at all.

The black-robed man had noticed that too as behind this person's back, a whole portion of the street had already been restored to its old, clear self. There were no traces of demonic qi remaining.

This person had been purging all demonic qi while on his way here!

At the thought of that, the black-robed man's heart shuddered.

He knew for a fact that this three-headed hound was as strong as a Sage Ruler, and even though it had not completely broken the seal as it was suppressed by the Sage, the demonic qi that it released was still tremendous enough and insurmountable for anyone.

Although the whole School of White Lotus had been mobilized, they could only manage to slow down the speed at which the demonic qi was spreading.

Yet this person in front of him was able to purge them while on his walk here, and he even reached as deep as the center!

“The White Lotus Light of Purification… So you're the successor of that White Lotus Sage Ruler b*tch?” The three-headed hound said as they endured the pain of getting their soul energy sucked out. Their whole three heads and six eyes stared deadly at Chu Kuangren.

The three-headed hound did not like that Daoist Rhyme which came from his body at all!

“Doggie, lay down there and shut your mouth.”

Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly, then turned his gaze at the black-robed man. He activated his Eye of Revelation, beginning to a.n.a.lyze the information regarding this man in front of him.

“King Wuguan, one of the Ten h.e.l.lion Temple Kings of the demonic organization's Underworld Palace, Supreme Honorable cultivation, cultivates the Sage Technique Rakshasa Seal, Yin Ender Finger…”

“Oh, someone from the Underworld Palace.”

Chu Kuangren remarked softly.

Upon hearing that, the black-robed man widened his eyes. Never had he thought that his adversary would see through his origins with just one look.

“You demonic cultivators are having a whale of a time I see. Again and again, you keep wriggling in my line of sight!” Chu Kuangren's impatience and disgust showed in his eyes as he did not enjoy having this pesky group of demonic cultivators around at all.

It was fine if they wanted to cause trouble, but they did not have to do it in front of him.

Just like a group of flies, they were extremely annoying.

“Chu Kuangren!”

The black-robed man, or in other words, King Wuguan, revealed his shock through his eyes.

He did not expect that Chu Kuangren would show up here. He was aware of his adversary's reputation as he too had heard quite a bit about the things he had done in recent times.

If demonic cultivators were to select their most feared enemy of the year, Chu Kuangren would undoubtedly be the leading candidate.

“Supreme Elder, this man is absorbing the demonic beast's soul energy!”

The White Lotus School's Sage said to Chu Kuangren.

“Oh, that makes things more interesting.”

Items related to souls were a rarity, so the fact that this demonic cultivator in front of him could absorb soul energy piqued his interest.

He took a glance at the Soul-Devouring Dagger on the three-headed hound's throat and felt a gush of incredibly wicked energy from it. On top of that, there seemed to be some sort of bond between this Soul-Devouring Dagger and King Wuguan.

“He's using this thing to harvest soul energy?” Chu Kuangren's figure turned into a flash of light before he appeared right in front of the three-headed hound the next second.

The speed of which was so quick that King Wuguan could not even catch a glimpse of his movement.

His pupils constricted, knowing clearly that he was not Chu Kuangren's match.

“They said that his cultivation base was not high, but his combat strength defies the law of nature!”

“It seems that it's true!”

Deep down, King Wuguan shuddered.

“Chu Kuangren, even a Sage would need to expend their maximum power in order to suppress this demonic beast, so you should know very well how terrifying it is. I'm actually helping all of you by using this Soul-Devouring Dagger to kill him.”

King Wuguan explained.

“You're doing this for your benefit. You released this demonic beast and brought suffering upon millions of common folk. Yet now you're telling me that you're just helping us?”

“It seems like you demonic cultivators really do have a way of twisting lies.”

Before he finished, Chu Kuangren had already thrown out a punch, and an incredibly enormous Human Mountain strength instantly erupted, sending King Wuguan flying into the air.

“One of the Ten h.e.l.lion Temple Kings of the Underworld Palace? Your name does sound pretty whacky, but all you can sustain is just this little bit. Are you guys even qualified to call yourself the great Underworld Palace?!”

Chu Kuangren's figure turned into a flash of light and reappeared in front of King Wuguan once again. The moment he unleashed the Battle Monarch Domain, the divine rays from the Five Great Supreme Foundation Levels dazzled. With his spiritual power activated, he then suppressed the still resilient King Wuguan who attempted to strike back!

He reached out his arm and grabbed his enemy by the throat, hoisting him into the air just like a nestling. He said coldly in his face, “Before this, one of you who went by the name of Chakra King was killed by me.”

“Now, it's your turn. Or maybe in the future, I should find a chance and settle off your whole so-called Underworld Palace family.”

Not far away, the School of White Lotus's Sage gulped nervously as she stared at them.

She had heard of things about Chu Kuangren, so she knew that his powers were great. However, she never imagined that he would be this powerful!

An Honorable Supreme who became so powerless before him?!

Was he just a Battle Monarch?

She would believe it if they said he was a Sage.

“Chu… Kuang… ren!!”

King Wuguan's face was flushed red as he called out his enemy's name bit by bit. Then, extremely intrepid energy erupted from his body.

Against this energy, Chu Kuangren was forced back by about a few feet.

“Oh, you've become stronger.”

Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised.

The power on his enemy's body kept increasing, especially the Daoist Rhyme which escalated frenziedly. It was an incredibly stark contrast with his previous form!

Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation to a.n.a.lyze the situation of his opponent.

“Spiritual power increasing, Daoist Rhyme increasing. A ma.s.sive amount of soul energy is currently being consumed… with its source from… the three-headed beast…”

One after another, the a.n.a.lyzed information flashed before his eyes.

Just then, the three-headed hound beside them yowled in anguish, and because of that intense pain, strong ripples rippled through the demonic qi on his body.

Owing to the a.n.a.lysis results from the Eye of Revelation, Chu Kuangren was able to instantly figure out the reason that caused the hound's miserable squeal.

He could not help but let out a light scoff. “With its soul consumed by an Honorable Supreme, a great Sage Ruler level demonic beast has been reduced into a lowly tool dog. A Sage Ruler like you has indeed been humiliated to no end.”

“Soul-Devouring Dagger, it's all… because… of the Soul-Devouring Dagger!”

The three-headed hound stuttered as it howled in fury.

Chu Kuangren could not care anymore, and he turned to face King Wuguan. He initially only wanted to take off the Soul-Devouring Dagger that was on the three-headed hound's body so that King Wuguan would not have any more soul energy to burn and his powers would naturally cease to increase.

However, he did not opt for that because dislodging the Soul-Devouring Dagger would be equivalent to helping the three-headed hound. In fact, he was actually quite happy to continue watching King Wuguan hurt the three-headed hound as it would make his task of dealing with the hound easier.

“Chu Kuangren, come and die!” King Wuguan did not think as thoroughly as Chu Kuangren did. He kept on exhuming the soul energy he extracted from the three-headed hound like a lunatic and transformed them into his cultivation base, hoping to kill off Chu Kuangren with a single strike!
