Chapter 1222: Truly A Great Blessing, The Annihilating Black Lotus Recognizes Its Master, Let Them Decide Themselves
Not only did Chu Kuangren kill many sky-prides and Heavenly Champions with one sword attack, but he even used Fusang energy to kill a True Immortal-level zombie. What was more, those were all done by his clone.
Such a record shocked many great ones who were secretly observing.
“That’s the Fusang energy.” Some great ones recognized the power that Chu Kuangren had used.
During the ancient Immortal times, some heaven and earth wonders, treasures, and living souls born from the source possessed unimaginable powers.
Among them was the Fusang Tree, whose energy was also well known in ancient Immortal times.
However, even if Chu Kuangren and Fu Yin did not possess complete Fusang energy and only exerted a trace of its might, its power should not be underestimated.
After all, it had killed a True Immortal-level zombie.
“Interesting. Fusang energy? What a surprise.”
Chu Kuangren looked at Fu Yin in his arms with a smirk.
In the meantime, You Ying, Shi Tianxuan, and Zhuo Donglaifled the battlefield while Chu Kuangren killed the zombie.
…
Chu Kuangren did not chase after them either, as killing so many Demonic Dao’s sky-prides was already a huge win for him.
He searched through the battlefield and kept items he needed, such as Gilded Immortal Weapons, the Demonic Dao’s ultimate techniques, Demonic Dao’s physiques, and the like.
“Unfortunately, although I’ve gained a lot in Luo Hou Ancestral Land, nothing excites me,” mumbled Chu Kuangren.
Indeed, he had gained a lot of things such as the Demonic Crystal Mine, Immortal Herbs, Immortal Weapons, Demonic Dao’s ultimate techniques, and many more in the Luo Hou Ancestral Land. However, those gains would not do much to improve his strength.
Even breaking through to a True Immortal would be a miracle for him.
After all, to break through from a Heavenly Immortal to a True Immortal in a short amount of time required a huge amount of resources.
Most of the True Immortals only succeeded after spending countless years trying to break through.
Although Chu Kuangren had an advantage in his talent, he still required the help of many resources to transcend other True Immortals’ countless years of accumulation in a short period of time.
While Chu Kuangren felt disappointed with his trip to the Luo Hou Ancestral Land, the earth suddenly quaked.
The ground he had drained the earth qi from earlier suddenly cracked, and a black demonic ray soared into the sky, illuminating the universe.
“This is…”
Chu Kuangren was shocked, and along with Fi Yin, he flew into the air.
Looking at the earth from a high altitude, they saw an incomparably huge crack on the ground that stretched nearly millions of kilometers!
Within the crack was filled with dense demonic qi.
Chu Kuangren mobilized his Immortal Consciousness to lock onto the source of the demonic qi, which was the source of the demonic ray.
It was from a black lotus!
The black lotus had twelve petals, and each petal was surrounded by incomparably mysterious Daoist patterns, emanating an extremely terrifyingly devastating aura.
The twelve-graded black lotus was surging with demonic qi!
As if he had thought of something, Chu Kuangren’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Could this be… the Annihilating Black Lotus?!”
He was well read and knew some of the records from the ancient Immortal times like the back of his hands.
Once, he had come across the Source Supreme Treasure recorded in one of the scriptures.
According to rumors, the Source Supreme Treasure was divided into the Later Source Supreme Treasure and Innate Source Supreme Treasure.
The Later Source Supreme Treasure was derived from the source after the universe was created, whereas the Innate Source Supreme Treasure was formed before the universe was created. The might of the latter was far greater than that of the former.
Both the Later Source Supreme Treasure and Innate Source Supreme Treasure were divided into four grades, namely Superb, High, Middle, and Low.
The prototype of Chu Kuangren’s Cloud Nine Insignia, Fuxi’s Guqin, was a Later Source Supreme Treasure, while the Annihilating Black Lotus that emerged before him was a High-grade… Innate Source Supreme Treasure!
It was truly a great blessing!
When all the great ones also noticed the existence of the Annihilating Black Lotus, their breaths became heavier.
“I can’t believe the Innate Source Supreme Treasure, Annihilating Black Lotus, would show up here!”
“It’s rumored that this thing is the Demonic Forefather, Luo Hou’s Source Supreme Treasure. It contains annihilating energy and is one of the Four Innate Lotuses. It is extremely terrifying.”
“The Innate Source Supreme Treasure is rare even in the ancient Immortal times. I’m surprised it has shown itself here.”
The Demonic Dao’s great ones especially were all stunned.
They could not believe that they had searched the entire Luo Hou Ancestral Land for the black lotus to no avail, only for it to show up here.
“Chu Kuangren is so fortunate!”
“It was the earth qi. Before this, the black lotus was buried deep in the ground and covered by the earth qi. That was why we couldn’t find it. However, now that Chu Kuangren has taken away the earth qi… D*mn it. He’s lucky to have discovered such a Source Supreme Treasure by randomly selecting a formation location!”
“Don’t worry. The Annihilating Black Lotus is an Innate Source Supreme Treasure, so one must pass a challenge to obtain it. Chu Kuangren may not be able to do it,” said a demon king in the Demon Palace.
By then, Chu Kuangren arrived before the Annihilating Black Lotus.
With a calm expression, he raised his hand to grab the Annihilating Black Lotus. Then, before him, several scenes of annihilation emerged.
He saw heaven and earth collapse while Immortals fell… Even Gilded Immortals could not resist in the face of such annihilating energy.
Ordinary cultivators’ Daoist core would have collapsed upon seeing such an annihilating scene.
That was the challenge of the black lotus.
“Is that all?”
Chu Kuangren’s Daoist core was firm and unshakable, so he reached out and grabbed the black lotus root.
In an instant, the surrounding demonic qi dissipated and disappeared into nothingness.
On the other hand, the black lotus turned into the purest Annihilation Source energy and entered Chu Kuangren’s body.
The black lotus used to be Luo Hou’s item, hence it was full of demonic qi. However, having recognized Chu Kuangren as its masters, the demonic qi naturally dissipated.
“Has he succeeded?”
“H-How is it so easy?”
Many great ones’ eyelids twitched.
Even they could not make an Innate Source Supreme Treasure recognize them as its master so easily, yet Chu Kuangren had done it without much effort.
That shocked them more than when he killed the True Immortal.
A yell echoed in the Demon Palace. “Chu Kuangren!”
The Skeletal Demon King was so furious that his face twitched. Due to the previous karmic repercussion, his face was now covered in blood, and he looked like a ferocious ghoul.
“Not only has he killed the Demonic Dao’s sky-prides, but he has also obtained the Annihilating Black Lotus in the Luo Hou Ancestral Land? D*mn it. D*mn it!”
“He is different. Now that he has the Annihilating Black Lotus, I’m afraid none among the Heavenly Champions can compete with him!”
“No. There’s still a chance.”
The Skeletal Demon King took a deep breath. “Besides the Annihilating Black Lotus, Demon Luo Hou has another Source Supreme Treasure.”
“That thing is too dangerous.”
“This is Demonic Dao’s last chance if we want to compete with Chu Kuangren. The Heavenly Champions themselves can consider whether they want to stay under Chu Kuangren forever or grab the chance to change their fate and step on Chu Kuangren,” the Skeletal Demon King said coldly.
“Alright. They can decide for themselves.”
