Chapter 1083: Ming Zi’s Last Resort, You Thought You Earned It?
“This power… How is it possible?!”
Blood Monk Disciple gasped so hard that he almost sucked in the blood he spat out, and his pupils trembled violently.
The Papiyas Avatar was his strongest move. Even if it were used against a Higher Third-grade Earthen Immortal, he would still have the advantage.
Yet now, Chu Kuangren had crushed it with a single punch.
“Ming Zi! What is this? I thought you said his cultivation level would be suppressed to one-fifth?! Why does he still have this much power?!” the Blood Monk Disciple shouted.
One-fifth of his power?
It must be a joke! Not even a Heavenly Immortal could possess this much power at ten percent!
“His cultivation level is indeed suppressed to one-fifth of his full power. There’s no mistake in that, but his strength… Wait, this is his physical body!”
Ming Zi suddenly realized something. “It’s his physical body! His power might be suppressed, but his body is not!”
“His body?”
“Yes!”
Ming Zi looked at Chu Kuangren in disbelief. “His body is so strong that it can rival an Earthen Immortal at his peak!”
They knew Chu Kuangren had an unusual physical body, but they did not expect it to be so ridiculously strong.
There were a lot of cultivators who focused on training one’s physical body in Planquilon Immortal. However, none, not even throughout history, could compare to Chu Kuangren.
Even in ancient immortal times, it was considered rare.
That was the reason why they did not factor Chu Kuangren’s physical body into their planning. Now, the only thing they missed out on turned out to be a deadly mistake that would cost them their lives.
“Damn it! Blood Monk Disciple, stall him!”
“What are you trying to do?”
“No time for explanation. Just stall him. I might have a way to kill him,” Ming Zi said through clenched teeth.
“How long?!”
“Fifteen minutes!”
“What? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!”
Blood Monk Disciple widened his eyes in disbelief.
Now that the Blood Monk Disciple now knew how scary Chu Kuangren’s combat strength could be, considering how powerful his physical body was.
It would be difficult to take two to three hits from him even, let alone stall for fifteen minutes.
“If you don’t stall him, we will all die!”
Ming Zi then flew into the deeper part of the Yin Underworld Universe.
He strongly believed that the Blood Monk Disciple could buy him some time.
“Damn it!” Blood Monk Disciple cursed before he looked at Chu Kuangren with determination.
“Fifteen minutes, eh? I’ll have to give it my all!”
He possessed two wills of the Immortal World and refused to believe he could not stall Chu Kuangren for just fifteen minutes.
With that, the Blood Monk Disciple took out a strand of blood-red Buddhist beads. There was a faint wail and scream coming out from the ghouls trapped inside the beads, and it was eerie to even look at.
“Papiyas Avatar!”
The avatar manifested behind him.
All four of the avatar’s limbs were as robust as heavenly pillars. They either punched, slammed, or even chopped Chu Kuangren. Each attack from the robust hands contained the powers of different Immortal Techniques.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren responded with a smile. “Come, show me everything you have. Your trump card, your best move — everything. Put up your best fight.”
He simply threw out a punch.
Following a loud explosion, one limb of the Papiyas Avatar was crushed, and the fist energy remained so strong that it rippled the void and shook the realm.
It was then that the other three hands landed their attacks on Chu Kuangren. However, with the Immortal Sparks glimmering around him and jade-like glimmer shining from his body, the attacks only made him flinch.
Not a single attack landed even a scratch on his body.
“This monster… Did he affirm his Dao with Immortal Metal?!” the Blood Monk Disciple questioned.
Using the Papiyas Avatar, he launched a barrage of attacks, but Chu Kuangren’s physical body was ridiculously powerful. Chu Kuangren simply threw a few punches, and the avatar was destroyed.
It was a one-sided battle from the start.
Outside the Yin Underworld Universe, the crowd watched the scene in awe.
“Is this Chu Kuangren’s true strength?”
“How is that even possible? That’s just his raw physical strength, and his cultivation level is still suppressed. If he regained his full strength, and on top of the combat strength of his physical body, the Blood Monk Disciple might not even last three moves.”
“Scary.”
“This guy is a monster…”
Back in the Yin Underworld Universe, Blood Monk Disciple unleashed all his attacks to try to stall Chu Kuangren, and his endless effort soon took a heavy toll on his body.
Golden glimmer intertwined around his body as Daoist patterns swirled, making him look like a golden Arhat. However, the surface was covered in countless cracks, as if his body was a cracked ceramic pot and could break at any moment.
“I remember this move. It’s the Golden Body Art from Golden Ridge Temple, right? But it cracked after one punch of mine. You will die with the next punch,” Chu Kuangren said.
“Damn it. Where is Ming Zi? Is he done yet?!” Blood Monk Disciple clenched his teeth as he tried to hold on.
Just as Chu Kuangren was about to throw another punch, demonic qi suddenly surged into the sky.
All the demonic qi in the Yin Underworld Universe started to gush outward from the innermost part.
Chu Kuangren scoffed. His eyes were as keen as lightning as he stared at the converging point of all the demonic qi.
Deep in the Yin Underworld Valley, Ming Zi sat down on an altar with his legs crossed. There was a tremendous suction force emitting from his body, and it sucked all the available demonic qi into his body.
Black Daoist patterns started to appear on the surface of his body.
All of a sudden, the demonic qi paused.
Ming Zi opened his eyes, and a demonic violet flash of light shone for a second. The next moment, he jumped into the sky with boundless might as though he was a demon king descending onto the earth. Wherever he went, the land cracked, and even the sun dimmed.
“Chu Kuangren, die now!”
Ming Zi threw out a punch. Tremendous demonic qi transformed into a humungous punch that went for Chu Kuangren.
“Ha! Absorbing the demonic qi of this Yin Underworld Universe to strengthen your own strength? Not bad.” Chu Kuangren chuckled before he, too, responded with a punch of his own.
The moment his fist energy collided with the demonic qi, a massive explosion occurred, shattering all the mountains and peaks around.
“Chu Kuangren, you can still smile, huh? I will put you down on your knees in a while, and you will beg for your own life,” Ming Zi said coldly. He detested Chu Kuangren’s confidence. He hated that Chu Kuangren looked like he got everything under control.
At the side, Blood Monk Disciple sighed a breath of relief when he saw Ming Zi returning with the aura that matched a Heavenly Immortal. “I’ll leave the rest to you, Ming Zi.”
“Alright.” Ming Zi nodded.
The next moment, his figure flashed as he attacked Chu Kuangren with massive demonic qi.
Two fists clashed in the air like two stars crashing into each other. The shockwave of the impact even tore the space around them to shreds.
Chu Kuangren did not budge, but Ming Zi was forced back.
“No way…”
The Blood Monk Disciple could not believe what he had just seen. Despite absorbing all the demonic qi, it seemed like Ming Zi was still not Chu Kuangren’s match.
“What makes you think you are my match now?” Chu Kuangren said.
Celestial Demon qi started to swirl around him, activating his Ultimate Almighty Source Physique. Although the Yin Underworld Universe was suppressing his powers, the combination of those two properties alone was terrifying enough.
Ming Zi could feel that the Yin Underworld Universe’s restraints were at their limit and might break at any moment.
With Immortal Sparks shining around him, and with the help of the Celestial Demon energy, he now had control over life and death. Moreover, the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique’s vastness could allow him to outmatch the other energies, granting him a superior aura.
Chu Kuangren was like the divine emperor with an unrivaled energy aura.
“You think you earned that fifteen minutes?”
Chu Kuangren looked at Blood Monk Disciple and said, “No, I let you live for fifteen minutes, and that’s why you are still alive.”
