Chapter 998 Killing the Golden Ridge Temple’s Arhat, a True Immortal Weapon Appears, the Fake Dragon-Binding Lasso
“I don’t mind sending you to meet the Buddha too, you know,” said Chu Kuangren with a chuckle.
The moment he said that, countless source energies appeared and circulated through his body. Tons of Immortal Sparks soon filled the surroundings, making Chu Kuangren seem like a supreme king of the Immortals!
His powerful source energy fluctuations made the elderly monk a little fearful. However, as an Arhat, he was confident that he could defeat Chu Kuangren.
“Rumors have it that you can defy the Heavens and slay Immortals, but those Immortals you’ve defeated are only weaklings in the Lower Third Grade. Don’t you compare me to the Blazing Day Immortal. Besides, the Sword Crown is not with you today. How do you plan to take me on alone?”
“Chu Kuangren, time to enter the cycle of reincarnation!” the elderly monk said indifferently.
He raised his hand and gestured a grab in the air, immediately drawing the Demon Slaying Mace to him. Following that, he unleashed a dazzling beam of Buddhist Light that burst forth toward Chu Kuangren like the dawn of daylight.
His powerful Immortal Core fluctuations immediately engulfed Chu Kuangren. “Oh, that’s all?”
Chu Kuangren formed a sword hand sign and cast his source energies at his fingertips. Following that, his Thousand Lotus Sword Intent erupted, and countless lotus appeared in the void in its path!
With a boom, the sword ray and Buddhist Light collided.
An explosion erupted in the void! However, the sword ray broke through the Buddhist Light and headed toward the elderly monk. It was so sharp and lethal that even the onlookers could feel as if their bodies were being torn apart. All of them were filled with horror as they watched the battle.
The elderly monk was shocked. “What?!”
He waved the Demon Slaying Mace and unleashed a ray of Buddhist Light once more, barely stopping the advancing sword ray and shattering it. However, he was not delighted at all. In fact, all he could feel was an intense fear and horror looming over him.
‘Did he just destroy my Buddhist Light with a simple sword ray?!’ ‘What kind of power is this?’
‘It’s definitely on an Immortal’s level!’
‘It is not even at the Lower Third Grade.’
“That power is at least on par with the Middle Third-grade Immortals!’
‘Before embarking on the Immortal Path, Chu Kuangren’s combat strength is already on par with the Middle Third-grade Immortals. How… How is that possible!’
The elderly monk was horrified.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren did not spare him any time to be in shock.
He made a sword hand sign and unleashed his Thousand Lotus Sword Intent, prompting countless purple lotuses to appear in the void. The lotuses then dispersed into countless more petals, and every single petal was a lethal sword ray attack.
The never-ending lotus petals that formed into countless sword rays intertwined in the void, forming a great web of attack at the elder monk!
“Heavenly Sword Qi Web!” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
The elder monk roared and channeled the
potential. Soon, Buddhist Light enveloped his body and turned him into a Buddhist Avatar.
That avatar looked holy and solemn, with its vast Buddhist Light lighting up the entire area, violently impacting the attacks from the Heavenly Sword Qi Web.
Even so, that Buddhist Avatar was torn apart by the barrage of sword qi, shattering into multiple sparks of light. “If I go on, will I die?!”
“No, no!”
“How can someone like me die here?!” The elder monk immediately spat out a mouthful of golden blood essence onto the Demon Slaying Mace. After that, he threw out the Demon Slaying Mace toward his opponent. Having come into contact with an Arhat’s blood essence, the Demon Slaying Mace radiated brilliantly with Buddhist Light and unleashed a powerful burst of energy, which finally opened a tear within the sword qi web.
The elderly monk quickly took the opportunity to escape.
As for the Demon Slaying Mace, he had already thrown it away. Seeing that he was willing to give up an Immortal Weapon, it was clear how much pressure he felt facing Chu Kuangren. The only thing he wanted to do now was to escape. With that, the elderly monk turned into a ray of light and dashed into the distance.
How fast could an Arhat travel at full speed?
He could cover millions of kilometers in a blink of an eye.
He even managed to escape into the void.
Alas, no matter how hard he tried to escape, a white-robed figure soon appeared before him.
It was Chu Kuangren! “That’s not the way to the West (TN: In Buddhism, this place refers to the Sukhavati, the joyous land in the afterlife commonly known as the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and is usually located in the west.), you know.”
Chu Kuangren said.
With his Spatial Conveyor Skill, whose limit was the maximum distance his Immortal Consciousness could reach, only a handful of people could rival him when it came to strength.
Even Immortals were no match for him in that aspect.
“Chu Kuangren!”
“Can’t you cut me some slack? Haven’t you done enough? Do you really want to go against the Golden Ridge Temple? What benefit can you possibly gain from doing this?!” The elderly monk said in a panic.
“If I want to kill you, it doesn’t matter what kind of benefits I get. All I want is to see this whole thing through!” Chu Kuangren replied.
Forming a sword hand sign, his countless source energies emerged while his Dao Proclamation Seals appeared above his head.
“Impossible!”
The elderly monk’s gaze narrowed to the extreme.
‘Hundreds of source energies and dozens of Dao Proclamation Seals? What the hell is going on? What kind of cultivation monster is this guy?!’
The elderly monk swore that it was his first time encountering something so unbelievable. Besides him, the onlooking cultivators were also stunned, and they could feel their worldview falling apart.
He drew with his sword hand sign in the air, and with the help of his source energies and Dao Proclamation Seal, his Thousand Lotus Sword Intent erupted, followed by a colorful purple sword ray.
Wherever it went, the surrounding void collapsed!
In the face of the sword qi, the elderly monk was reduced to nothing. Even his Immortal body and Immortal soul crumbled to ashes.
“He’s dead…”
“Chu Kuangren has defied the Heavens and killed an Immortal again!”
“And this time, it’s not a crippled Immortal but a true one at the peak of his strength. He is truly capable of killing Immortals!”
“What a monster!”
After killing the elderly monk, Chu Kuangren ignored everyone and picked up the Demon Slaying Mace. It was, after all, an Immortal Weapon. Although he would not use it, he could sell it for some spiritual marrows and Immortal Crystal, which was not bad for him.
Many Opportunities of Fortunes were waiting to be found on Penglai Island. Today, one of the cultivators of the immortal orthodoxies suddenly broke open a seal that was placed around a cave entrance.
At that instant, a terrifying energy fluctuation instantly spread throughout the whole island.
A silhouette of a crimson dragon soared into the sky, causing the whole area to tremble!
After the crimson dragon’s silhouette dispersed, every exploring cultivator sensed it and looked in its direction, their eyes bright.
“This energy fluctuation… Is it an Immortal Weapon?!”
“What a powerful Immortal Weapon fluctuation! Let’s go check it out!”
“Could this Immortal Weapon fluctuation be caused by a top-tier Heavenly Immortal Weapon? No, I’m afraid not. It’s a True Immortal Weapon!”
“Is there really a True Immortal Weapon hidden on this Penglai Island fragment? By the heavens, I must not let this opportunity slip by.”
“Heavenly Immortal Weapons are rare in Planquilon Immortal World, let alone a True Immortal Weapon, which is another tier higher!”
Every cultivator quickly rushed to the source of the dragon silhouette. Meanwhile, somewhere on the island, a young man in long crimson robes looked into the distance with a gleam in his eyes. “This feeling… I can feel a calling deep within my bloodline. Could it be an Immortal Weapon related to the dragon tribe?!”.
The young man and the elderly man behind him quickly took action.
At the location of the Immortal Weapon, many cultivators had arrived one after another, and the cave entrance had been blown open long ago. There was a stone pillar inside the cave, with a crimson rope wound around it. Its surface was glimmering with light as Daoist patterns swirled around it. Waves upon waves of powerful and mysterious Immortal Weapon energy fluctuations emanated from it.
“That’s the Immortal Weapon!”
“A rope?”
“What kind of weapon is this?”
More and more cultivators soon arrived.
Even Gong Yue of the Jade Clarity Immortal Sect was there too, and she exclaimed when she saw that crimson rope. “Is that the rumored Dragon-Binding Lasso?!”
The Hundred Academy’s Eldest Master also exclaimed, “Rumor has it that the Dragon-Binding Lasso was a weapon used by the Arch Gilded Immortal. It has a higher tier than this True Immortal Weapon we’re looking at here. This Dragon-Binding Lasso seems to be a fake.”
“Although it’s a fake, its strength is nothing to be trifled with.”
