Chapter 1144: Heavenly Samsara Physique, to Fengdu, the Invisible Thread That Controls Dead Souls
“Congratulations, Host! You have won a God-tier physique, Heavenly Samsara Physique!”
On this day, Chu Kuangren was drawing his gacha roll, and when he got the Daoist Physique, his eyes lit up.
The physique was an Immortal Physique and a high-level one at that. It was as good as Chaos Celestial Demon Physique.
Heavenly Samsara Physique had control over reincarnation, and it was known as one of the ten Supreme Immortal Physiques.
Back in the ancient immortal times, cultivators who possessed that physique could at least reach Arch Gilded Immortal Realm and had a high chance to become an Embodier if they did not fail during the process.
“Master, Mister Lu asks for you.”
Lan Yu’s voice came from outside.
“Got it.” Chu Kuangren muttered softly, “Had he not lost enough?”
Mister Lu would invite him for a game of Go every now and then, but with Lil Ai at his side, Chu Kuangren never lost.
He had to intentionally lose one or two games just to balance out things and save Mister Lu’s face.
…
Soon after that, Mister Lu finally realized their difference in chess skills, so he stopped inviting Chu Kuangren to play with him.
Today was the first in a while.
At the Famed Master Pavilion, Mister Lu stated his intention of summoning Chu KUangren.
“Fengdu has emerged?” Chu Kuangren was rather surprised.
Having read all the books in the Scripture Sea, Chu Kuangren dared not say he knew everything about the ancient immortal secrets, but he knew a lot. As such, it was natural that he had heard of Fengdu, the Underworld city....
“Interesting. Mister Lu wants me to take several Heavenly Champions there for an expedition and train them in the process?” Chu Kuangren asked.
“That’s right.” Mister Lu nodded. “The battle between Heavenly Champions is inevitable, and the academy cannot always cover for all of you. It’s time for you guys to go out and experience it on your own.”
Chu Kuangren nodded. “I understand.”
A while later, Chu Kuangren led a group of Heavenly Champions to Fengdu Underworld City.
…
It had been a month since Fengdu Underworld City appeared.
In the past month, countless cultivators had visited the desolated city, including many other Heavenly Champions.
A lot of them sought after Opportunities of Fortune in the legendary place, but they took it for granted and underestimated the city.
The number of dead souls alone in the city was overwhelming. Even a True Immortal or a Gilded Immortal had to be careful while exploring the city.
Boom! Boom!
A warship arrived above the sky of Fengdu Underworld City.
On the warship was Chu Kuangren with Lan Yu, Chu Hong, Lil Fox, and the other Heavenly Champions.
Looking at the vast and grand yet eerie and cold Fengdu Underworld City, the group was in awe.
“So this is the Fengdu Underworld City? We really should be careful. With this number of dead souls, how many people have died here?”
“Look, the dead souls are eating each other!” Li Wangchen said in shock.
Countless dead souls were killing each other in Fengdu, and those who emerged victorious devoured the losers to strengthen themselves.
However, by doing so, none of the dead souls were sane. They were like wild animals that reeked of rage qi. All they knew was to hunt and kill.
Other than that, Chu Kuangren also noticed countless mystical Daoist patterns circulating Fengdu Underworld City, forming a giant enchanted boundary. It was the enchanted boundary that kept the dead souls inside.
Not only that, but the enchanted boundary also released a strange energy fluctuation outward. It was to attract other dead souls inside.
“Lil Ai, analyze this for me,” Chu Kuangren said as he continued observing the city.
“Analyzing… A fragment of Fengdu Underworld City. It contains an ancient Six Realm of Reincarnation Enchanted Boundary, which is incomplete. Note: the energy level of the dead souls in Fengdu Underworld City is overloading, and it can crumble at any moment…” Lil Ai’s voice sounded.
Chu Kuangren mulled over the situation. “Overloading on dead soul energy… Maybe this is why Fengdu suddenly appeared.”
“Let’s go in and have a look.”
Chu Kuangren then led the group into Fengdu Underworld City.
The moment they set foot inside, a huge number of dead souls flew toward them, forming a terrifying tornado. Wails and screams were endless, and the screeching alone could easily shake one’s mind.
“Hmph! Trying to affect my mind with this? In your dreams!” Li Wangchen swung his sword.
His sword qi swept over like a tornado and crushed countless dead souls along the way.
Wang Chentian cackled in laughter before taking a step forward. The Despot Thousand Troops Shadow conjured in the air, and the image of myriad troops charged forward to the tornado. The ferocious qi and battle intent from the troops destroyed the tornado upon collision.
As the group ventured deeper, the number of dead souls increased, and they were stronger than those at the entrance. Some of them were as powerful as an Earthen Immortal.
The dead souls containing the powers of an Earthen Immortal were not originally an Earthen Immortal. It was the result of the endless slaughter and devour among the dead souls that made some of them grow incredibly strong.
“There are so many of them. I think there are more than just Earthen Immortal dead souls here,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
A while later, another huge bunch of dead souls stopped them from pressing forward. Most of the dead souls before them were no longer sane, and they were overflowing with rage qi.
A few of them were unusually powerful.
One of them was the dead soul of a Tiger Beastman, the other one was a man in white robes and a pale face, and another mountain pile of flesh that was drooling over Chu Kuangren and company.
Those three dead souls were already at the Heavenly Immortal Realm and seemed to have retained a portion of their sanity.
“Live human, live human. I want to eat live human…”
The mountain-flesh dead soul cackled with laughter, causing its saliva to spew uncontrollably. Its gaze on Chu Kuangren reeked of gluttony as if a hungry ghoul had found the best food in the world.
Its huge body was filled with blobs of flesh, but it could move ridiculously fast. In a flash, its huge figure disappeared and reappeared before Chu Kuangren.
“Live human, I want to eat you!”
The fleshy dead soul threw itself toward one of the Heavenly Champions.
The Heavenly Champion, Lu Ming, was skilled at Martial Arts Dao.
With a grunt, Lu Ming threw a punch at the fleshy dead soul, blasting it a few hundred meters away.
However, he was also forced backward from the impact, and his fist was shaking.
“This soul is really powerful,” Lu Ming muttered in shock.
He did not hold back with his punch at all. Even a Higher Third-grade Earthen Immortal would be severely injured by the punch. Yet, it only sent the mountain-like soul flying backward.
“Pain, pain! I will eat you!”
The fleshy dead soul cried as it threw itself forward again.
Lu Ming was prepared for another round, but then something happened.
Everything in their surroundings started to move. Heavenly Intent surged and transformed into terrifying sword intent before it became a sword shadow that slashed downward.
Bang!
The fleshy dead soul was slashed into half by Chu Kuangren.
“Interesting.” Chu Kuangren stared at the soul that he slashed and realized that the dead soul energy had swiftly dissipated after its death.
The others did not notice it, but there was a thread that retracted into the dark. When Chu Kuangren noticed it and wanted to chase after it, the thread disappeared into thin air.
“Interesting. An invisible thread that controls the dead souls? Is it some kind of soul-control technique?” Chu Kuangren muttered with a grin on his face.
