As soon as Bai Hongyu stuck out her palm, a red palm sign came hurling towards Chu Kuangren while its devastating palm qi swept out in all directions.
Its overbearing energy instantly enveloped Chu Kuangren's surroundings.
However, Chu Kuangren had no reaction to that powerful attack. He simply stood where he was and channeled a surge of his mind power to create an invisible barrier!
Before it could reach within three meters of Chu Kuangren, Bai Hongyu's palm qi was repelled by the barrier, and it dispersed into the surroundings instead.
In an instant, the ground surrounding Chu Kuangren sank. Large amounts of smoke and dust were swept outward.
The onlooking cultivators' expression changed a little as they quickly backed off from the area.
"What a terrifying surge of palm qi. This attack alone is already on par with a Boundary Emperor's strength."
"Is this the power of the outlaw sky-prides?"
"The term 'outlaw' is often used for a certain category of sky-prides whose power greatly exceeds the comprehension of the ordinary people. The name really lives up to the reputation."
The crowd of onlooking cultivators looked at that red figure in the sky with amazement in their eyes.
Bai Hongyu stood in the air with red light swirling around her and bursts of spiritual power emanating from her body. She gave off an invincible aura.
"An outlaw sky-pride? It doesn't seem special to me."
At that moment, a voice came from amidst the clouds of dust.
Everyone looked towards its source. Once the dust had dispersed, they eventually saw a white figure standing proudly on the spot, unmoved.
It was Chu Kuangren, who was completely unharmed.
The surrounding area around him had completely sunk downwards and formed a gigantic crater of several hundred kilometers wide with countless cracks spreading outwards from it.
However, the ground three meters around him did not suffer any damages at all.
"He managed to block it!"
"How did he do that? I didn't even see his counterattack."
"This person's abilities are far beyond our comprehension!"
If Bai Hongyu gave everyone the impression that she was strong, terrifying, and not easily defeated, then to them, Chu Kuangren was like a bottomless abyss — unpredictable and mysterious!
Bai Hongyu glanced at Chu Kuangren with fear in her eyes. "It seems the Supreme Sage really lives up to the rumors. Xiao Jingchen, let's leave!"
Seeing that the Enchanted Forest Realm was going to open, she did not wish to bother herself with Chu Kuangren any longer.
If she were to get injured now, she would be at a great disadvantage when dealing with the other outlaw sky-prides in there.
"Coming and going as you please, huh? Aren't you taking me a little too lightly?"
At this moment, Chu Kuangren chuckled. A chilling aura immediately spread forth and enveloped the whole area before locking onto Bai Hongyu.
Bai Hongyu's eyes trembled upon hearing his words. "What's the matter? Looking for a fight before the Forest Realm opens?"
"Oh, that's not it. I'm just wondering since I've taken a hit from you, why don't you have a taste of my attack as well?"
With a lift of his hand, spiritual power started to surge within Chu Kuangren.
Then, he struck his palm lightly into the air.
An incredibly horrifying palm sign, which contained a sense of sorrow, appeared in the air.
Every witnessing cultivator suddenly felt they were overwhelmed with a deep sense of sadness and grief, causing their fighting spirit to greatly diminish.
It was the Emperor Technique, Palm of Sorrow!
Shocked by that attack, Bai Hongyu moved both her arms, and large amounts of spiritual power poured out from the palm of her hands. An overbearing surge of Daoist Rhyme gathered in the void to form a gigantic red seal that was hundreds of meters wide before crashing towards the incoming Palm of Sorrow. "Divine Bai Clan Seal!"
As soon as the two surges of energy collided with a bang, multiple white cracks appeared as if the void was burst open.
Tremendous amounts of shockwaves immediately spread out, sending Bai Hongyu flying several hundred meters away. Eventually, she crashed into a mountain.
That mountain immediately exploded!
Everyone was baffled by what they saw.
In their eyes, the outlaw sky-prides were cultivators who possessed a level of strength beyond their reach.
However, Chu Kuangren just sent an outlaw sky-pride flying with a single palm technique!
The combat strength displayed was simply unfathomable for them.
Even Xiao Jingchen was shocked as well. "I can't believe even Bai Hongyu is nothing to him."
Far away, Bai Hongyu was seen rushing out from the ruins of that mountain.
The bright red armor she had on her was radiating bursts of red light and trembling violently.
It was only after a while that the trembling had disappeared. Bai Hongyu looked at Chu Kuangren, not knowing how she should feel.
If she did not have that armor equipped for protection earlier, that palm technique would definitely deal her a devastating blow!
Chu Kuangren's combat strength was far beyond what she had expected.
'Is a Supreme Sage really that terrifying?!'
"Ha! You truly are a sky-pride from a large orthodoxy. You have a lot of treasures at your disposal. Even the armor on you is a Boundary Emperor Weapon."
Chu Kuangren looked at Bai Hongyu and uttered with amazement.
"You used a technique that affects one's mental state. How are you related to the Seven Emotions Sect?" Bai Hongyu replied.
"Oh, the Seven Emotions Sect? This is the second time I've heard of this name."
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
When he had used the Raging Gods Fist to defeat the Seven-colored Swordsmen at the Wu clan, they also made the same remark as well — questioning whether he was one of the cultivators from the Seven Emotions Sect.
Now, Bai Hongyu has brought up the name of that sect again.
This piqued his interest a little.
However, before Chu Kuangren could ask any further, a strange energy wave suddenly appeared from the void.
Seas of clouds suddenly started to gather in the skies.
Out of nowhere, a large forest appeared in the skies!
Everyone became incredibly excited upon seeing that!
"The Enchanted Forest Realm is open!"
Someone yelled.
Everyone looked at the extraordinary occurrence in the skies and immediately rushed towards it. One by one, they entered the Enchanted Forest Realm.
Bai Hongyu glanced at Chu Kuangren and said, "Chu Kuangren, now that the Forest Realm has opened, our fight will have to wait!"
Then, she turned into a red ray of light, dashing towards the skies as well.
Xiao Jingchen, Zhan Hongying, Touba, and the others did the same too.
"The Enchanted Forest Realm is now open, Sect Leader. It's time we head inside there as well."
Murong Xuan said.
"Let's go."
Along with the other two, Chu Kuangren entered the Enchanted Forest Realm.
Upon entering the Forest Realm, everyone was greeted by lush and undulating forests.
Besides that, Chu Kuangren could also sense the dense spiritual qi fluctuations in the surroundings, which was dozens of times greater than the outside world.
In other words, any cultivation practice conducted here would be several times more efficient than the outside world.
"What a splendid environment for practicing one's cultivation."
Chu Kuangren uttered with wonder.
However, the Enchanted Forest Realm would only open for around half a month every time. Once that period ended, it would immediately return into the void and open again after several thousand years.
Many cultivators would not mind living in such an environment if it were not for that very reason.
"Sect Leader, now that we're inside the Enchanted Forest Realm, let's start searching for treasures."
Shang Qingxue said excitedly.
She knew all too well that Chu Kuangren's Treasure Locating Skill would be extremely useful in a secret realm like this.
"Alright. Let's see if there are any treasures nearby."
The moment Chu Kuangren activated his Treasure Locating Skill, he received a horde of information about the treasures within a radius of thousands of kilometers.
"Wow. This Enchanted Forest Realm is really full of wonders. It looks like quite a lot of treasures are waiting to be found here."
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised to find that no less than a hundred top-tiered Sage-grade treasures alone were detected within a thousand-kilometer radius from him.
Even so, these treasures were of little use to the Chu Kuangren and others by now.
Hence, he shifted his focus to the Boundary Emperor-grade and even the Emperor-grade treasures instead.
"Got it. There's a Boundary Emperor-grade item three thousand kilometers south from here."
"If we keep going straight for a thousand kilometers, there's a Boundary Emperor Grade spirit mine."
/strong>
"Take a look at this. There are Primitive Elite Swordgrass twenty-one thousand kilometers from here."
Chu Kuangren chuckled as he led both Shang Qingxue and Murong Xuan on a looting spree within the Enchanted Forest Realm.
