Tonnes of holy energy leaked from the Holy Light's Ancestral Land, and the secret realm trembled non-stop. As a result, the ground began to crack, and several white sources of light containing powerful holy energy flew out from it.
That energy was supposed to be holding the whole secret realm in place.
The Ancestral Land Foundation!
However, as the Holy Light's Chief Sovereign absorbed the energy within the ancestral land, several Ancestral Land Foundations broke apart.
"What remarkable treasures."
The aura within those few Ancestral Land Foundations was immensely powerful. Even Chu Kuangren became interested in it.
By forming a large invisible hand with his mind power, Chu Kuangren reached out, grabbed the Ancestral Land Foundations, and tossed them into his Yin and Yang ring without hesitation.
"For killing the Sovereigns of our Holy Religion and even stealing our Ancestral Land Foundations, all of you must die!!"
The Holy Light's Chief Sovereign roared, turning his vast holy energy into a wave of divine illumination towards Chu Kuangren and the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign.
That divine illumination energy was so immensely terrifying that the void crumbled wherever it went. Even the Dark Shadow Chief Sovereign could not help but feel his scalp tingling.
"Dark Cataclysmic Current!"
As the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign uttered, he raised his aura to its peak and turned it into a dark current that could swallow the whole world.
Chu Kuangren also unleashed a punch attack with his Invincible Technique.
The three different energies exploded upon collision and shook the whole secret realm. As most of its energy was already absorbed, the secret realm started crumbling.
Its enchanted boundary soon broke down as countless spatial rifts spread across the void.
Chu Kuangren immediately grabbed Lan Yu's arm. "We've got to go!"
Having killed countless Sovereigns, Chu Kuangren had exhausted most of his spiritual power and Emperor qi reserves. As of that point, he did not wish to clash against the Holy Light's Chief Sovereign head-on.
Whoosh…
Both of them turned into a ray of light and dashed outwards.
After gaining some distance between the secret realm's exit and the Holy Light's Chief Sovereign's Daoist Rhyme range, Chu Kuangren instantly activated his Spatial Conveyor Skill.
In this world, should he ever wish to escape, no one would be able to stop him.
The Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign secretly cursed upon seeing that. "D*mn, he ran away fast. As for you, I think I'm done fooling around as well."
"Heretic of the Dark Shadow, there's no way I'm letting you escape that easily!"
How could the Holy Light's Chief Sovereign allow that to happen? Having absorbed all of the ancestral land's energy, he was much more powerful now. With that, he reached out with his hand and unleashed the Power of Light, which turned into a giant arm that tried to grab his opponent.
"Do you think I would have come here unprepared?"
The Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign snorted and tossed a black skull into the air. Within a short time, it grew into the size of a mountain that surged with vast amounts of dark energy.
The moment the black skull clashed into the gigantic palm, waves of black and white light exploded. Taking advantage of the blastwaves, the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign retreated and rushed out of the secret realm.
"D*mn it, d*mn it!"
"Dark Shadow Chief Sovereign and the heretic, just you wait. I shall forever be your sworn enemy!!" The Holy Light's Chief Sovereign yelled into the sky. Despite possessing the pure Power of Light, his expression was as ferocious and hideous as a devilish ghoul.
He was too enraged!
After that battle, it would be considered good news if the Hold Light Religion had only sustained heavy damages.
However, the losses suffered by the Holy Light Religion could only be described in a few words, which were… at the brink of a religion's extinction!
Spit…
Once the whistling sound stopped abruptly, the furious Holy Light's Chief Sovereign, who had forcibly absorbed the ancestral land's energy, vomited a mouthful of blood.
"You d*mn heretic, I will make sure to find out everything about you and kill all those that you know!!" The Holy Light's Chief Sovereign gritted his teeth and cursed with hatred burning in his eyes.
The heretic he was talking about was, of course, Chu Kuangren.
Compared to the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign, he hated Chu Kuangren even more. After all, the latter had killed every Sovereign in the ancestral land.
…
Outside the Holy Light's Ancestral Land.
A ripple appeared in the void in a mountain range somewhere.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu walked out from it.
"Are you okay, Master?"
Lan Yu looked at Chu Kuangren and asked.
"No worries." Chu Kuangren shook his head a little. Besides overusing his spiritual power and Emperor qi, he had suffered no injuries at all.
He had even obtained the Holy Light Ancestral Land's Foundation from this battle.
Hence, he had landed a great haul.
At this time, Chu Kuangren looked towards the void nearby as if he had noticed something, and a dark figure suddenly appeared.
It was the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign.
Chu Kuangren chuckled upon seeing that person. "I can't believe you've caught up to me. Looks like you have something on me to track my position. Am I right?"
He then took out a black jade scroll.
It was an item he used to communicate with the Dark Shadow Religion.
"Is it this jade scroll?"
He asked while crushing the jade scroll into pieces.
The Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign looked at him fearfully. Speaking of which, Chu Kuangren's relationship with the Dark Shadow Religion was not a friendly one.
One could even say that the latter possessed a deep hatred towards the former.
After all, Chu Kuangren had killed the Dark Shadow's Bachelor Sage.
"I finally got to see what you're made of, Brother Chu."
"I have many more where that came from. Do you care to have a taste, Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign?" Chu Kuangren twiddled his fingers and said.
Although he was badly worn out, the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign was not in great shape either. If they were to fight, Chu Kuangren had nothing to fear.
"Let's leave it for another time. Besides, my Dark Shadow Religion shall have nothing to do with you after this," the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign replied.
"Of course."
"The next time we meet, you and I might be enemies."
"If that's the case, do you think I should take this chance to kill you then?"
"Hmph."
The Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign snorted before he turned into a ray of light and left. It was unclear whether he was truly frightened by Chu Kuangren's claim that he would kill the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign without hesitation.
"Sheesh."
Chu Kuangren uttered and then went to find a place to recover.
The battle at the Holy Light's Ancestral Land was too big of an event.
A commotion that great would be impossible to hide from the outside.
Several forces soon found out what happened after some investigation. For a moment, all of the great orthodoxies were extremely shocked!
Chu Kuangren joined forces with the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign?!
Almost all of the Sovereigns in the Holy Light's Ancestral Land were dead?!
The news sounded far-fetched no matter how many times they heard it.
Many forces and orthodoxies did not believe it at first. However, everyone soon confirmed its authenticity after some investigating.
"Chu Kuangren is just too terrifying. He hasn't left the Forbidden Barren Wasteland for long, yet he has already done such a thing."
"By the heavens, how did he manage to do that? Has his power increased tremendously again in such a short period of time?"
"How horrifying…"
"Besides, does the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign have anything to do with Chu Kuangren? Although he had the help of the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign, how did he kill every other Sovereign in the ancestral land? That's impossible!"
"There must be an inside story."
Every orthodoxy was trying to figure out why the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign would help Chu Kuangren. After all, their Bachelor Sage died in Chu Kuangren's hands.
They were also trying to figure out why Chu Kuangren would suddenly go against the Holy Light Religion, seeing that both sides should have no grudges against each other.
For those that were not involved, they would never know why.
However, everyone soon thought of something else.
Who else could match against Chu Kuangren?!
Even Qin Tianchen, a sky-pride in the Emperor Road known as the reincarnation of a Great Emperor was not his match. In fact, he was defeated rather easily.
It was one thing if the sky-prides were no match for him, but another if he could slaughter the Sovereigns who possessed deep backgrounds and foundations as well.
Such power was simply astounding.
He almost seemed invincible!!
Upon realizing this fact, the orthodoxies started to feel a sense of unease now that an uncontrollable outlier had appeared in the Emperor Road. This was what the orthodoxies did not want.
