Chapter 384: Battling The Serpent Deity, Reviving After Being Blown Up, Winged Serpent Ancient Wild Beast
Chu Kuangren stood proudly on the ocean's surface.
He looked at the surrounding ships and then took out his Illusive Mirage, which set off massive waves the moment it appeared above the ocean.
Then, he then channeled his spiritual power and lifted up the ship with the three thousand children onboard, placing them onto the Illusive Mirage.
He did the same for the remaining surviving ships too.
With how large the Illusive Mirage was, there was more than enough space to fit all those ships onboard.
However, just when he was about to place the last ship onto the Illusive Mirage, an incredibly huge whirlpool emerged from the sea!
The whirlpool was so huge that it could engulf the Illusive Mirage within it.
The Illusive Mirage started to shake. To everyone's surprise, the Serpent Deity wanted to drag the whole Illusive Mirage into the ocean and devour all the sacrificial offerings onboard in one go!
"Hmph, what a fool!"
Chu Kuangren snorted coldly.
Even if it were any other ordinary ship that was as large as or larger than the Illusive Mirage, it would be dragged into the ocean depths by the Serpent Deity's power.
However, the Illusive Mirage was no ordinary ship!
Having mastered the Illusive Mirage's controls, Chu Kuangren signaled his thoughts and activated its defensive formation technique.
A gigantic light barrier instantly surrounded the whole Illusive Mirage. No matter how hard the Serpent Deity tried with the whirlpool, it still could not do anything to drag the ship down.
Eventually, the Illusive Mirage escaped from the whirlpool's effect and rose into the skies.
Chu Kuangren stood on the ocean surface while he stared into the whirlpool with a serious look. All he saw was a gigantic serpent head that was slowly sticking out.
Its cold, yellow eyes glared at Chu Kuangren. Despite having received a sword attack from Chu Kuangren, it did not seem injured.
Only a few scales had broken off from its head.
Its physical body was even stronger compared to the Nine-Headed Snakelet.
"Why did you interrupt my feast?"
The Serpent Deity asked with its sharp voice.
"You were going to devour my people. Besides, how dare a mere mongrel like you prey on the human race? This act of insolence should be paid with... your death!"
"These humans are my sacrificial offerings. If you want to settle this matter, you should start with the ones who sent them here in the first place," the Serpent Deity replied coldly.
"I will, of course, but only after I kill you."
"Just you alone, puny human?"
"I alone am enough!"
Without another word, a terrifying surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme exploded from Chu Kuangren's body and his Three Great Daoist Physiques were activated.
He struck out his sword, and along with the combined energy of Transcendental Might, ferocious qi, and sword qi, a bright colorful sword ray shot out toward the sea!
Facing that incoming sword attack, the Serpent Deity's eyes narrowed. Then, with a roar, the seawater surrounding him boiled and streams of waterspout erupted from the ocean before it dashed at the incoming sword qi with great impact.
Boom, boom, boom...
As soon as the overbearing sword qi clashed with the numerous waterspouts, the water exploded into mists that filled the sky.
Just as Chu Kuangren was about to continue his attack, a gigantic tail suddenly swept out at him from the side with a might enough to shatter a whole mountain. Even a Sage would not be able to handle an attack of that level.
"Giant Palm of Exorcism!"
Chu Kuangren channeled his spiritual power and formed a huge golden palm with his majestic Buddhist Light.
The instant those two energies collided, Chu Kuangren felt an immeasurably powerful force shattered his golden palm.
The serpent's tail then brutally landed on his body, breaking his limbs with its explosive and destructive power.
Chu Kuangren's whole body instantly exploded into pieces of flesh in the air!
The Chieftains of the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands were stunned. Did the renowned Chu Kuangren whose very name had shook the whole world just... died?
"That's as expected of the Serpent Deity! It's remarkable!"
"Haha, it's too powerful."
"I guess Chu Kuangren's power is nothing before the likes of the Serpent Deity."
The talon-shaped nose old man could not believe his eyes.
Did Chu Kuangren die just like that?!
Why did it feel so unreal?
At the ocean's surface, the Serpent Deity could not help but sneer as he looked at what remained of Chu Kuangren's body. "Your arrogance is commendable, but that strength of yours is just not worth mentioning at all."
Suddenly, he noticed that something was wrong.
Despite being blown into pieces, Chu Kuangren's Descendant Self Sword remained levitating above the ocean. There were surges of sword qi could swirling around it as well.
"Its master is dead but thy is this sword behaving so strangely?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Hold on, can it be..."
The Serpent Deity's pupils trembled when he saw the scattered pieces of flesh gathering together at a crazy speed and formed into a lump of flesh, gradually taking the shape of a human's body. It was Chu Kuangren!
He was still alive!
"How is this possible!"
"He can revive himself even though his body was blown into pieces?!"
The Serpent Deity was shocked.
Chu Kuangren moved his limbs and then, he took out a set of robes from his Yin and Yang ring and put it on to cover up his newly reborn physical body.
Besides a few female cultivators, the others did not care. They simply stared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.
Reviving from a body that was shattered and blown apart?!
Even for Sages, these things only happened in a fantasy!
"The Serpent Deity's strength is somewhat remarkable."
Chu Kuangren looked at the Serpent Deity and activated his Eye of Revelation.
"Winged Serpent, category - ancient wild beast, cultivation level - Sage Ruler. Compared to his spiritual power and cultivation level, the strength of his physical body should be taken more seriously..."
"Comparing both parties' combat strength, excluding external factors, the Host's chances of winning do not exceed ten percent. Please proceed with utmost caution."
"Not even a ten percent chance of winning?" Chu Kuangren chuckled as he gripped the Descendant Self Sword. "I won't lose either!"
A fighting intent lit up in his eyes before his body turned into a stream of light. With a layer of overbearing sword qi covering his body, he shot towards the Serpent Deity at lightning speed!
"Let's see if you're truly unkillable!"
The Serpent Deity roared.
As if the sound waves had materialized, another extremely powerful waterspout was launched at Chu Kuangren.
Right as Chu Kuangren approached the Serpent Deity, the sword qi on his body spread and turned into numerous sword qi clones!
Chu Kuangren then took out the Sacred Emerald Sword Case. One treasured sword after another flew out and into the hands of the sword qi clones. Together, they attacked the Serpent Deity.
Surges of sword qi continuously erupted in the skies.
The battle between Chu Kuangren and the Serpent Deity was so intense. The water in the entire ocean surrounding them was so turbulent that it set off several tsunamis.
Even the islands located thousands of kilometers out were affected, let alone some of the smaller islands that could not escape their fate and sank.
Clang!
Guqin sounds suddenly resounded through the area.
Sitting with his legs crossed in the air and his Descendant Self Sword guarding him, Chu Kuangren took out his guqin, the Lingering Song, and placed it before his lap. A domineering surge of guqin music Daoist Rhyme instantly erupted!
Sixth Movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Devastating Cyclone Barrage!
Seventh Movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Synchronous Overworld Anarchy!
Eight Movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Grand Melodic Void!
Along with the seawater, the three terrifying pieces of guqin music blast out at the Serpent Deity. The combined might of that attack was so terrifying that the scales of his opponent broke and fell apart.
"Roar!!"
The Serpent Deity roared, unleashing its menacing Daoist Rhyme and spiritual power to form a tsunami that swept out in all directions. One by one, the sword qi clones were destroyed. Following that, large amounts of seawater suddenly rose into the air!
Since the seawater was under the Serpent Deity's control, Chu Kuangren was now surrounded by a huge water prison, trapping him within!
Chu Kuangren tried to force his way through it, but it did not work. There was an extremely powerful barrier present in each of the water prison's walls.
At this moment, Chu Kuangren was akin to being in the depths of the ocean!
"Let's see how you're going to fight me now!"
The Serpent Deity laughed as it entered the water prison.
Only then did Chu Kuangren got a look at the Serpent Deity's true form.
Its body was dark green and more than dozens of kilometers long, while its abdomen was white, and it had a single horn on its head. There were some bumps from its back as well.
Chu Kuangren immediately knew those were the wings that his opponent had hidden.
Winged Serpent, an ancient wild beast that was fond of preying on humans. It had a single horn on its head and a pair of wings on its back. It belonged to the same family of snake-type beasts as the Nine-Headed Snakelet!
