With the lift of his arm, the Giant Palm of Exorcism was unleashed!
Amidst Yuan Wudao's astonishment, demonic qi surged out from his body and instantly turned into a skull that lashed out at the giant golden palm.
When the two energies clashed, Yuan Wudao was blasted out of the bas.e.m.e.nt. He was left kneeling on the ground, his face pale.
“Chu Kuangren, what are you doing?!”
“Are you an idiot? Can't you see that I'm trying to kill you?!”
Chu Kuangren slowly walked out of the bas.e.m.e.nt and said coldly.
His gaze was as cold as ice. He lifted his arm again and a vast stream of golden Buddhist Light gushed out like a torrent, forming the image of a gold-colored ancient Buddha statue!
Emperor Technique, Tathagata Rebirth Mantra!
“You're the one who instructed the Underworld Palace to poison my disciples and attempted to stir up a rebellion within us Black Heaven Sect. Do you really think you could get away just like that?”
“Chu Kuangren, the fact that you didn't return to the Black Heaven Sect says that our plans did not work out. Since the Black Heaven Sect didn't sustain any losses, then why do you need to be so aggressive to us?!”
Yuan Wudao cried out.
Chu Kuangren could not contain his laughter when he heard that. “You were the one who wanted to hurt my sect, but now that the plan has failed, you're just going to pretend nothing happened?”
“What they said is true. It's useless to try and talk logic with demonic cultivators.”
As he shook his head, the ancient golden Buddha behind him let out a Buddhist Chime. The moment he put down his hand, a vast stream of Buddhist Light and domineering aura struck down from the heavens!
Yuan Wudao held himself against the ancient Buddha's Buddhist Light. As demonic qi surrounded his body, he conjured a giant black eye in the void, where an ominous Daoist Rhyme circulated within it, resisting against the Buddhist Light.
That was Acheron Manor's most powerful technique!
“Eye of Acheron!!”
With a loud shriek, Yuan Wudao unleashed the full strength of his demonic qi and a jet black demonic ray shot out from the very middle of that eye!
The demonic ray crashed into the Buddhist palm. The impact that spread out was so great that all the Demonic h.o.a.rders' residences were smashed to smithereens. After all, this was a battle between two Emperor Techniques.
The bra.s.s door vibrated wildly before the entire secret realm shattered and began to collapse inwards, forming a vortex of terrifying spatial force.
The impact from the collision between the demonic ray and the Buddhist Light brought a similarly devastating effect to both Chu Kuangren and Yuan Wudao. However, Chu Kuangren remained rooted to the ground, unmoved.
On the other hand, Yuan Wudao spat out a mouthful of blood as he was blasted away.
Right at that moment, he took out a talisman and crumbled it. He was then encased by a spatial force that transformed into a white light barrier around him.
Chu Kuangren could not help but narrow his eyes when he saw this.
“A Great s.h.i.+ft Talisman!”
What Yuan Wudao had just used was called a Great s.h.i.+ft Talisman. It enabled someone to traverse almost several hundred thousand miles in a second. It was a precious treasure for escaping.
At that sight, Chu Kuangren immediately pulled out the Descendant Self Sword and a dazzling purple sword ray struck out with utmost strength and incredible speed!
The sword ray pierced through the light barrier that was formed from the spatial force. At the instant when Yuan Wudao was about to be teleported away, one of his arms was chopped off and huge amounts of blood spurted all over.
Nevertheless, at the very next second, Yuan Wudao was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Kuangren pursed his lips. “He really got lucky this time.”
He simply raised his hand and made a suction force across the air to grab Yuan Wudao's broken arm. Then, he took off the Yin and Yang Ring that was on the arm.
He made a quick scan with his mind and realized that there were some valuable goods inside the ring. Just the soulstones alone were more than a large pile.
As the spatial force around him quivered more violently, the entire secret realm began to collapse into a fist-sized black vortex. Like a black hole, it swallowed everything in its surroundings and reduced them to debris!
Even Honorable Supremes would not manage to escape death under such a potent force.
Chu Kuangren quickly took Lan Yu and escaped the scene. When they were about ten kilometers out, they watched the secret realm slowly collapse into the fist-sized black hole, annihilating every single thing within a ten-kilometer radius.
After a while, the black hole dissipated, and the secret realm was wiped out.
Chu Kuangren fell into deep thought while he watched that black hole vanish.
A black hole was a form of spatial force.
With Chu Kuangren's current understanding of spatial force, he could create a stable spatial structure out of blank s.p.a.ce.
In other words, he could create a secret realm.
However, it would be an incredibly arduous task if he wanted to create a black hole out of nothing because such creation would entail more than just spatial force.
Yet, if he was able to master the mechanics of a spatial form like the black hole, it would undoubtedly be one of the most horrific destructive weapons that he could have.
Chu Kuangren pondered on a little longer before he led Lan Yu out of the place.
“B*stard, b*stard!”
Several hundred thousand kilometers away from the Demonic h.o.a.rder Forefather's residence, within a mountain range, Yuan Wudao held onto what was left of his broken shoulder and howled in agony.
He had indeed suffered a great loss this time.
Not only had he failed to secure the Demonic h.o.a.rder Forefather's inheritance, but he was also heavily wounded by Chu Kuangren. Even his Yin and Yang Ring had been taken away by Chu Kuangren.
“No way. I must take back my Yin and Yang Ring. There's still a piece of Heavenly Jade Amulet inside it, which I cannot lose!”
Yuan Wudao gritted his teeth and said frustratingly.
That Heavenly Jade Amulet was way too important to him. It was linked to something that held greater Opportunities of Fortune than the Demonic h.o.a.rder Forefather's inheritance.
However, he was not the only one. Among all the empyrean walkers who had descended into the realm this time, a majority of them were here specifically for this great Opportunity of Fortune!
That jade amulet held a vital clue to this particular Opportunity of Fortune.
“Let me find a place to heal my wounds first, then I'll contact my Honorable Teacher. I'll make them send someone over to the Black Heaven Sect and demand the return of that jade amulet.”
Yuan Wudao thought to himself.
Chu Kuangren was currently onboard the Illusive Mirage, on his way back to the sect.
In his hand was a nicked ring-shaped jade amulet that was flowing with a mysterious Daoist Rhyme and Emperor's Aura!
Chu Kuangren knew that anything related to the Emperor's Aura was not as simple as it looked. It was very likely that this jade amulet contained a hidden secret.
He kept the jade amulet away nicely with a plan to revisit it when he had time in the future.
When he returned to the sect, he found Elder Ruyan and the others and questioned them in detail about the poisoning incident that occurred.
Since Zhao Tianlong had already turned his coat and the sect had Alchemy Masters like Fairfrost Sage and Gu Jiang to help out, the Black Heaven Sect did not suffer too huge of a loss. At worst, some of their disciples would probably have stomach issues for the next few days.
“Zhao Tianlong, you've done well this time. There's a total of twelve Sage Techniques in the Black Heaven Sect. You can go and pick one for yourself,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
“Thank you, Sect Leader.” Zhao Tianlong said emotionally.
He had already been promoted to a Black Heaven Sect True Disciple, so he had the right to learn any of those twelve Sage Techniques.
However, because of his ident.i.ty as a spy for the Underworld Palace, he had not had the chance to gain insights into them. Now, Chu Kuangren had finally given him the chance to do just that.
He swore to himself deep down that he must pull off an impressive performance, so he could shake himself off the tainted reputation of being an Underworld spy and reintegrate himself into the Black Heaven Sect.
He had come round these few days.
Nothing was left for him in the Underworld Palace. He was better off joining the Black Heaven Sect that had Chu Kuangren, a place where his future would be much more promising than the Underworld Palace.
After settling some minor matters, Chu Kuangren waved his hand and prepared to set up the Astonis.h.i.+ng Cloud of Seas Formation. Nevertheless, he still lacked two key materials to set up such a huge formation, and these materials could not be found anywhere in the Black Heaven Sect.
“It seems like I'd have to go look for that guy.”
Chu Kuangren looked on into the distance.
He must set up the Astonis.h.i.+ng Cloud of Seas Formation at once, the sooner the better.
They could not afford any errors in this task, so Chu Kuangren took it upon himself to look for that one person who could give him the help he needed.
Just as Chu Kuangren was busying himself in setting up the formation, the empyrean walkers all over the Firmament Star had stirred up more trouble.
Some empyrean walker who claimed to be from the Cloud Nine stood on the arena that was built upon the Empyrean Peak in the Black Warrior Domain and issued an open challenge to all empyrean walkers!
Once this message got out, the whole work was shocked!
