The might of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords caused the surrounding lands to tremble.
With the help of the Emperor Weapon and Emperor qi, the Sovereigns in the Holy Light's Ancestral Land continuously dropped like flies under the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords' power. The ancestral land was stained red with blood!
"No, if this continues, our Holy Light Religion will crumble!"
"This is bad."
"We must stop him right now!"
The Sovereigns in the Holy Light's Ancestral Land looked at Chu Kuangren solemnly and with burning hatred in their eyes.
Sovereigns made up the foundation of every orthodoxy in Emperor Road.
With Chu Kuangren killing the Sovereigns left and right, he was also destroying the Holy Light Religion's foothold in Emperor Road!
If this went on, the Holy Light Religion would cease to exist!
"Buy me some time. I'm going to invoke the Divine Summoning Ritual!"
One of the Sovereigns took a deep breath and said.
The expressions of the other Sovereigns beside him changed upon hearing him.
"Are you sure about doing this?!"
"I'm sure!"
That Sovereign replied with a serious nod and then disappeared in a flash, rushing towards a palace hall deep within the ancestral land.
Chu Kuangren wanted to chase after him when he saw that.
However, he was immediately stopped by a group of Sovereigns.
"Almighty God of Light, may you give us the strength to vanquish our enemy!"
"Almighty God of Light, may your light shine upon every being in this world."
Each of the Sovereigns had an incredibly devoted look on them.
It was as if a certain power was placed upon them, increasing their auras to varying degrees of strength.
"Oh, so this is the so-called Power of Faith?"
Chu Kuangren uttered curiously.
Apparently, the Gods worshipped by the Holy Light Religion and Dark Shadow Religion were real and had been in slumber for endless years. Using a certain technique, the user would be able to summon the power of those Gods into this world.
"Interesting, but alas, your fate has been sealed!"
Chu Kuangren said indifferently as his fingers continued plucking the Springtime Lightning.
Surges of guqin music reverberated across the realm.
Several Sovereigns were instantly blasted off their feet, exploding on the spot!
"Divine Fire Wall!"
As one of the Sovereigns yelled, divine fire spread out and formed a wall of fire that surrounded Chu Kuangren within.
The other Sovereigns continued channeling their own divine fire into the wall of fire. They all wanted to take this opportunity to trap Chu Kuangren inside.
"What meaningless attempts."
Chu Kuangren plucked the guqin strings, raising the power of guqin music Daoist Rhyme to another level. He was now at the seventh movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords!
"Synchronous Overworld Anarchy!"
Vast surges of Guqin Daoist Rhyme crashed into the Divine Fire Wall without restraint.
The wall of fire trembled and started to break apart!
The horrifying sound waves even struck a bunch of surrounding Sovereigns down.
At this moment.
A mighty surge of holy energy erupted from a palace hall far away and swept across the land like a raging tide!
The Sovereign that fled earlier appeared once again. This time, however, he was engulfed in bright white flames, which eroded his body and gradually turned it to ashes.
Despite that, he did not seem like he was in pain as he had a pious look on his face. "Almighty God of Light, I hereby offer my body to your divine fire and implore you to grace us with your holy presence!"
Boom, boom, boom…
An immeasurably horrifying surge of Daoist Rhyme erupted from the flaming Sovereign's body. Following that, a gigantic white figure of light appeared in the void.
It was the figure of a stalwart man donned in magnificent robes and with a crown on his head. He was holding a scepter that was inlaid with countless gems.
Chu Kuangren had seen that person before.
It was in the Holy Light's Temple.
The God of Light that was worshipped at that temple looked exactly like this person.
"Wow, they have really summoned their God here."
Chu Kuangren was a little surprised as he did not expect the Holy Light Religion to have such a technique. From just the God of Light's phantom figure alone, he felt a sense of pressure for the first time. It was clear that this opponent was not going to be defeated that easily.
"Heretic, you shall be killed!"
The God of Light gazed at Chu Kuangren with its golden sparkling eyes as it spoke in an emotionless tone.
Following that, the God of Light's phantom gradually pointed its finger at Chu Kuangren and unleashed a surge of terrifying light energy from his fingertips. Everywhere it went, swirls of Holy Daoist Pattern flowed in the air.
That attack was undoubtedly strong enough to kill ninety-nine percent of all Sovereigns in this world.
However, Chu Kuangren was definitely not one of them.
"Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Grand Melodic Void!"
Chu Kuangren channeled his Emperor qi and imbued it into the Springtime Lightning.
Daoist Patterns started appearing on his guqin.
Then, he pushed the power of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords to its fullest potential. Although the guqin music was silent, its Daoist Rhymes grew denser and turned into Daoist Patterns instead.
Two different energies from the Holy Daoist Pattern and Eight Chords' Daoist Pattern collided with each other. It was a clash of Dao against Dao, Emperor qi against Divine Might!
Chu Kuangren was pushed back by several meters. Even with his powerful physique, he still could not help but feel breathless.
However, that feeling soon disappeared a moment later.
The Immortal Body was one of Chu Kuangren's greatest safeguards.
On the other hand, the impact caused several cracks to appear on the God of Light's phantom, and the Holy Daoist Patterns gradually fell apart.
As for the Sovereign that sacrificed his body, the white divine fire burned even more violently. By now, more than half of him had already turned into ashes.
He was using himself as a medium to summon the power of gods.
The moment his body was consumed by the divine fire, the God of Light's phantom figure would disappear.
Chu Kuangren knew this due to his Eye of Revelation. Using the Spatial Conveyor Skill, he unleashed a palm attack and sent it towards that Sovereign across space, directly shattering the other half of his opponent's body into pieces.
With the medium gone, the God of Light's phantom gradually disappeared. However, before he left, he took a look at Chu Kuangren and said, "I'll remember your aura, blasphemer. We shall meet again one day."
Chu Kuangren grinned. "You'd better pray that we will never meet again. Otherwise, I'll blow you up into pieces like what I did just now."
"We shall see, then."
The God of Light's phantom snorted and disappeared soon after.
"Even the God of Light can't handle Chu Kuangren?"
"D*mn it, d*mn it!"
"How can someone like him…"
All the Sovereigns were dumbfounded by what happened, and they slowly fell into self-doubt and despair.
The God of Light was the only being they believed in the most.
However, since the God of Light could not do anything to Chu Kuangren, what could they do to him?
The Sovereigns were extremely frightened upon thinking of this.
"As I said earlier, God or no God, no one will be able to save you all today!" Chu Kuangren instinctively played the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords once more.
A few moments later, almost every Sovereign in the Holy Light's Ancestral Land was wiped out. This was the darkest moment in the Holy Light Religion's history!
"I'm going to kill you!!"
Far away, after seeing what Chu Kuangren did to the Sovereigns, the Holy Light's Chief Sovereign erupted with rage while fighting the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign.
His roar caused the whole Holy Light's Ancestral Land to tremble violently.
Then, streaks of white light came from all directions and entered his body, allowing his aura to increase rapidly.
"This is bad. He's sacrificing the ancestral land by absorbing the energy contained within it. He's intending to fight us to death!"
The Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign was shocked, to say the least.
The ancestral land was a secret realm created by the Sovereigns. Hence, the laws and energy that governed it were different from Emperor Road.
Without the Divine Pardon Order, the Sovereigns could only use their full power in the ancestral land.
However, to absorb the holy energy within the ancestral land, the Holy Light's Chief Sovereign did not hesitate to destroy it now. This showed how enraged he was at this point.
