Chapter 1186: Grabbing the Undying Elixir, Did Any of You Consider Whether You’re Strong Enough to Take One Slash From Me?
Many cultivators were amazed when they discovered the West Ruler Matriarch’s Undying Elixir, and everyone wanted to have it for themselves.
Even Zhuo Donglai, Zhi Lei, and the others felt the same.
However, no one dared to make a move, for they all knew that whoever stepped out first would surely be targeted by everyone else.
The Undying Elixir continued swaying in the wind, brimming with Immortal Sparks and releasing an incredibly alluring energy fluctuation. It was as if an enchantress was seducing everyone to it.
However, everyone was on high alert.
At that moment, two figures strolled into the scene.
It was a man and a woman who were chatting and laughing. Their arrival immediately broke apart the tense atmosphere of the scene, prompting everyone to subconsciously look at them.
“It’s them.”
“Hold on a second. Why are they together?”
Everyone was shocked.
…
It was Chu Kuangren and Yu Zhi who arrived.
Meanwhile, Zhuo Donglai’s eyes immediately turned red with rage upon seeing Chu Kuangren getting close to Yu Zhi. His expression had gotten extremely grim.
That smile and tone…
Yu Zhi had never shown that side of her to him before.
‘What the hell is going on?!’
‘How long has it only been? How has Chu Kuangren gotten so close with Yu Zhi?!’
Zhuo Donglai almost went crazy with jealousy. He could not even hold himself back from approaching them and asking coldly. “Yu Zhi, why are you with him?!”
Yu Zhi frowned a little upon hearing that, to which she replied unhappily, “Brother Chu is my friend, so please respect him, Brother Zhuo.”
‘What’s wrong with him?’
‘Chu Kuangren is a close friend of mine.’
‘And what’s with that tone of his?’
‘I’m only accompanying him to explore this secret realm, and we’re not even close at all. Why is he making it seem that I’ve cheated on him?’
‘Ugh, yuck.’
She did not even have someone she liked, so how could she be cheating?
“A friend? You just met him moments ago. How did he suddenly become your friend?” Zhuo Donglai asked stiffly.
“He’s like a close friend I never knew existed.”
Yu Zhi did not want to explain too much because the more she tried to do so, the more it seemed that something was going on between her and Chu Kuangren.
“A close friend?! I see. A close friend, huh?” Zhuo Donglai said while gritting his teeth.
Her words were no different than love at first sight to him.
He glared at Chu Kuangren. However, he realized that ever since arriving here, Chu Kuangren had never looked at him. In fact, his eyes were on the Undying Elixir the entire time.
“Interesting. I can’t believe there’s such a surprising find here.”
Frankly speaking, Chu Kuangren would not have much use for that Undying Elixir.
He possessed the Indestructible Physique, after all.
That itself was several times superior compared to that Undying Elixir.
The Undying Elixir could only prolong a cultivator’s life. If the same cultivator were to suffer a lethal blow, he or she would still die in the end.
However, his Indestructible Physique was different.
As long as his will to live was present, his body would never die.
That was the might of that Daoist Physique.
However, although the elixir was not that interesting, Chu Kuangren could not deny how valuable it was. He would much prefer to have the elixir in his possession than let others have it. After all, who knew when it would come in handy in the future?
‘I might as well take it.’
Ignoring the tense atmosphere, Chu Kuangren walked toward the Undying Elixir and reached out to grab it.
“That’s Chu Kuangren for you!”
“He’s truly courageous. I’ll give him that!”
The moment Chu Kuangren stepped out, everyone began to take action.
As if everyone had a tacit understanding beforehand, they immediately launched their Immortal Techniques at Chu Kuangren, hoping to kick their biggest enemy out of the battlefield.
Zhuo Donglai was also about to attack when Yu Zhi stopped him.
“Don’t do it.”
“What are you doing, Yu Zhi?!”
Zhuo Donglai’s face turned grim.
“You’re not a match for Brother Chu,” Yu Zhi said,
She has witnessed Chu Kuangren’s strength along the way, and it was at a level she could never hope to reach.
Furthermore, that might only be the tip of the iceberg to his full power.
Zhuo Donglai was not a weak cultivator among the Heavenly Champions, but his strength paled in comparison when it came to Chu Kuangren.
That was why Yu Zhi stopped him. She did not want him to die, seeing he was her companion who had come to explore the secret realm with her.
“Well, I’ll need to fight him to know whether he’s a match for me.” Zhuo Donglai snorted.
He was extremely annoyed by what Yu Zhi said. In the eyes of the woman he loved, was he inferior to Chu Kuangren?
How could he possibly stand that?
However, he did not attack immediately.
That was because most of the Heavenly Champions and sky-prides had attacked. Their combined attacks formed a terrifying energy storm that headed toward Chu Kuangren.
Even Zhuo Donglai was not confident that he could fend off such a powerful attack.
However, Chu Kuangren did not flee or dodge. He simply activated his Chaos Celestial Demon Physique and Heavenly Samsara Physique, and a powerful life-death reincarnation intent erupted from his body. The Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol formed and spread in all directions.
Paired with samsara energy, the Life and Death intent unleashed a divine might that disintegrated and broke down the barrage of incoming Immortal Techniques!
By then, Chu Kuangren had arrived before the Undying Elixir unscathed. He reached out, plucked it, and stored it inside his Enchanted Sleeve’s dimension.
Zhi Lei, Chi Zhan, and the others were stunned.
“How can this be?”
“How can he remain unscathed in the face of everyone’s combined attack? Are you kidding me… What kind of strength is that?”
“What kind of monster is he?!”
Every sky-pride and Heavenly Champion stared at Chu Kuangren with disbelief.
However, Chu Kuangren merely chuckled as he looked at everyone. Then, his Immortal’s Core energy began to surge, causing the surrounding area to quake.
“Before attacking me, did any of you consider whether you’re strong enough to take one slash from me?”
Chu Kuangren pointed out his sword hand sign.
In that instant, Heavenly Intent turned to sword intent and then sword qi. Having activated his Heavenly Sword-like Intent at full power, Immortal Sparks radiated and lit up the whole realm!
In his eyes, green glint shone, followed by the faint appearance of two leaves made from sword qi.
It was the Green Leaf Sword Vision!
With the help of the Sword Vision, the power of his Immortal Technique rose tremendously!
At that point, Chu Kuangren was akin to a supreme Immortal god of swords. With a sword in his hand, he could seemingly flatten worlds and destroy planets!
Chu Kuangren then raised his sword hand sign into the air!
A gigantic green sword shadow rose into the skies, slashing the clouds apart!
“This is bad!”
“Retreat! Quick!”
Everyone’s expression changed into that of horror and fear.
“Strike!”
After a soft snort, Chu Kuangren swiped his sword hand sign in the void. The gigantic sword shadow followed suit and slashed into the crowd without mercy!
Wherever the sword shadow passed, it shattered the very void itself!
Following a loud boom, the dozens of Heavenly Champions and sky-prides caught in the attack immediately exploded into mists of blood! Nothing else remained!
However, that was not the end of it. The green sword shadow suddenly exploded into a wave of sword qi and spread in all directions like a violent tsunami!
Some of the Heavenly Champions and sky-prides launched their Immortal techniques to fend off this attack.
Little did they know that every single strand of sword qi contained such power that even a Heavenly Immortal could not defend themselves against it.
In the blink of an eye, countless mists of blood exploded in the air like fireworks.
Wherever that attack went, chaos ensued.
One by one, wills of the Immortal World started to gather toward Chu Kuangren. Those wills of the Immortal World belonged to the Heavenly Champions he killed.
Twenty strands, thirty strands, fifty strands…
It included sky-prides who were not Heavenly Champions.
Chu Kuangren’s single attack had killed up to hundreds of people in total — hundreds of Heavenly Champions and sky-prides!
“Is that the power of the Hundred Academy’s Chief, who is also known as the Fengdu Ghost Emperor?!” One of the surviving sky-prides could not help but shudder at the sight.
Despite having survived the attack, that sword shadow would be a haunting nightmare to him forever!
