Chapter 594: Slaying Touheng, Dark Bachelor Sage Falls, Battle of the Avatars
"How many outlawed sky-prides do you think will fall today?"
Chu Kuangren asked, his voice as cold as ice.
A chilling breeze suddenly blew past.
Xiao Jingchen took a step forward, and his Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique instantly erupted. The ruthless and unstoppable domineering aura gushed toward Chu Kuangren.
"You're the only person who's going to fall today!"
Once he finished his sentence, his Heavenly Golden spiritual power flowed out once again. It condensed in the blank space before them, transforming into an enormous human figure.
It was the Daoist Physique Transformation, the Heavenly Imperial Avatar!
"Chu Kuangren, you should know that being overly powerful makes you an easy target!"
"You're too presumptuous!"
Touheng leaped into the air right away.
Demonic qi amassed in the sky and turned into an enormous purple eye that had an appalling demonic ray brewing within.
"Demonic Eye of Oblivion!"
Following his loud cry, demonic rays poured out like a purple torrent, crashing toward Chu Kuangren.
"Darkness shall prevail!"
Dark Bachelor Sage Feng Mo had joined in as well.
He let out a low growl, and a pious expression began to show on his face before the energy in his body increased substantially.
That was a cultivation technique unique to the Dark Shadow Religion and Holy Light Religion. This technique enabled them to harness energy from their deity.
"Dark Realm Annihilation!"
After Feng Mo said his prayer, his strength elevated significantly. He swung out the saber, and an ominously pitch-black saber ray swooped toward Chu Kuangren.
"What real damage can your deity do to me?!"
Chu Kuangren scoffed at him.
As a four-colored brilliance circled around them, the Four Mystical force erupted once again.
Divine power, Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements!
Under his manipulation, the Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements slashed across the area, shattering both the demonic ray and the saber ray together. The remaining momentum from the sword qi then hit Feng Mo and Touheng so hard that they spat out blood and were blasted back several hundred meters.
"That's so powerful!"
Touheng and Feng Mo's expressions looked aghast.
They had witnessed Sword Daoist battling Chu Kuangren previously, but that was just spectating. Only by facing him themselves that they now experienced the sheer terror of Chu Kuangren's true power.
"Wait a minute. Where did they go?!"
Xiao Jingchen, Sha Wushe, and Niu Dali were just about to jump into the fight with Chu Kuangren after Touheng and Feng Mo's lead. However, to their horror, they realized that the two were gone.
They scanned their spiritual thoughts across the place, attempting to locate their two compatriots' whereabouts.
"Uh oh."
The crowd sensed something sinister.
Touheng felt that especially. Suddenly, he could feel a coldness down his spine, as though his fear had manifested into a chill that was eating at his whole body in that instant.
Instinctively, he turned around and threw out a slam.
Chu Kuangren was somehow already there behind him. Facing Touheng's slam, Chu Kuangren lifted his sword and swung it.
Sword rays poured out and shattered the palm qi and demonic qi. Following that, it slashed across Touheng's body. Like paper mache, that piece of armor on him could not withstand the sharpness of the Descendant Self Sword at all.
As blood splattered everywhere, Touheng was cut in half!
An outlawed sky-pride had thus fallen!
"First one."
Chu Kuangren's indifferent voice rang out.
Immediately after that, his figure shuttled away like a specter, disappearing from his spot once again. The next second, he appeared right beside Dark Bachelor Sage Feng Mo.
"Second one."
His stone-cold voice was almost like a death chime from a grim reaper. Along with it, the dazzling sword ray appeared once again.
Dark Bachelor Sage Feng Mo felt a piercing coldness on his neck. The next thing he knew, everything around him spun, and he saw a headless body.
It was his corpse!
His head had been chopped off by the sword.
"How did that..."
Feng Mo was absolutely shocked. The severed head could not even finish the sentence before his life energy vanished.
Another outlawed sky-pride had fallen!
"Quick, let's work together and lock the space in!!"
As soon as Sha Wushe yelled, a black avatar formed right behind him. It was the Infallible Tormented Physique's avatar!
The Divine Ferocious Avatar let out growls after growls of furious battle intent, which complemented perfectly with the Heavenly Golden Imperial Avatar. As the two avatar energies collided with each other in the air, the air particles around them vibrated violently, interfering with Chu Kuangren's Spatial Conveyor Skill.
At the side, Niu Dali let out a ferocious roar and morphed into his true form straight away — a black demon bull!
An angry growl rang out, and then the demon bull stampeded toward Chu Kuangren.
"Scramble!"
Chu Kuangren hushed at him as the spiritual power inside his body surged frenziedly. A pitch-black fist sign that was burning with inferno lashed out.
That was the Emperor Technique, the Raging Gods Fist!
Once the Emperor Technique was cast, the demon bull was blasted off his feet.
An archaic wild beast could not even take Chu Kuangren's punch!
"Heavenly Imperial Palm!!"
Just then, Xiao Jingchen, who had harnessed the Heavenly Golden Imperial Avatar to the maximum potential, let out a furious growl. With that, the avatar's giant hand reached out to grab Chu Kuangren.
Beside him, Sha Wushe was no weaker too.
The Divine Ferocious Avatar manifested a giant black ax in its hand as it emanated an overwhelming ferocious qi.
As the ax swung out, the space in front of them cracked like a mirror.
"Avatars, huh? I know this trick too."
Chu Kuangren commented, and incredibly tremendous Divine Ferocious Daoist Rhymes coursed in the air, amassing into a Divine Ferocious Avatar similar to Sha Wushe's.
However, Chu Kuangren's avatar was much more solid. Just a yowl from it could already rumble the mountains and rivers within ten kilometers.
The Divine Ferocious Avatar threw out a punch that clashed head-on with the Heavenly Imperial Palm while its other hand gripped at the giant ax that was heading toward it.
When three avatar energies collided with each other, many of the Ancient Lavish Caves shook, and treasures kept pouring out.
The rest of the sky-prides seized this opportunity to go and snatch all kinds of treasures. Lan Yu brought Nangong Huang and the gang forth as well.
"The Daoist is dead, but we can't afford to go back empty-handed. We must seize some of these goodies and bring them home."
One of the sky-prides from Sword Tribe muttered as he rushed forward.
Even so, he was soon flung out of the way by a slam from Lan Yu. She had also snatched the treasure that he wanted.
"D*mn it. D*mn it!"
That sky-pride was so mad that he stomped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
After that, he saw Swordsman Mei getting her share of the treasures too. She was very powerful. When her Dark Descent Physique was activated, nobody below the level of an outlawed sky-pride would be able to match her prowess.
"Hmph, this traitor!"
The Sword Tribe sky-pride glared at her hatefully. However, he knew there was nothing he could do about this too.
Meanwhile, a short distance away, those Dark Shadow Religion cultivators who were still mourning the death of their Bachelor Sage also noticed Swordsman Mei's presence.
"This energy... It's the Dark Desert Physique!!"
"The Dark Descent Physique that we've been painstakingly searching for all the years shows up right after the Bachelor Sage left us? Could this be fate?"
The Dark Shadow Religion cultivators exchanged glances with each other.
At the same time, Chu Kuangren's battle with Sha Wushe and Xiao Jingchen was also nearing the end.
The three almighty avatars looked like three giants. The blast waves generated from their collision spread tens of kilometers out, where the ground crumbled and the void exploded. The gust of fist and strength qis demolished everything in their path like bouts of disasters.
"Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique, Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart..."
At this moment, Chu Kuangren's other two physiques erupted at the same time, unleashing the Transcendent Coalescence energy and the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart sword qi.
The two energies were infused into his Divine Ferocious Avatar, adding layers of color to this initially pitch-black avatar.
"Daoist Physique Recombination Technique!!"
Sha Wushe and Xiao Jingchen's pupils narrowed abruptly.
"Here, have a taste of my avatar's energy one more time."
Chu Kuangren remarked.
The Divine Ferocious Avatar punched out its fist once more. The combined power from the Three Great Daoist Physiques made the power of this punch almost unparalleled by any other.
With a bang, Sha Wushe's Divine Ferocious Avatar was so beaten up that intense fluctuations began to radiate, and large amounts of ferocious qi started to flow out, almost as if it were about to disintegrate.
"What a scary power!"
Xiao Jingchen looked at his nemesis in fear. Immediately, he took out a long pike.
That was an Emperor Weapon.
With the help of an Emperor Weapon, the strength of his Heavenly Imperial Avatar increased yet again. Nevertheless, it was still weaker than the Divine Ferocious Avatar formed by the integrated energy of Chu Kuangren's Three Great Daoist Physiques. As such, his Heavenly Imperial Avatar avatar was soundly beaten by the opposing variant.
