2088 Chi Yun’s Challenge, Chi Yun Killed In Seconds, An Enraged Jiu Yin
Jiu Yin was not one of the Darkness Tribe.
He was originally a vicious beast that contained all the Yin qi of the realm.
However, he got into conflict with the Radiant Church and killed many of the church’s cultivators, hence getting labeled as one of the Eight Great Heretics.
The reason why he disliked Hei Xuan was that they were both powerful and ferocious beasts, who simply fought because of their natural instinct.
If it were just the competition between two vicious beasts, it would not be anything worthy of people’s concerns.
However, Hei Xuan detested Jiu Yin’s method.
Jiu Yin cultivated the Yin Qi Dao, and the Nine Yin Heavenly Art that he cultivated was a strange technique. It allowed him to absorb the Yin core of other cultivators to strengthen himself, especially the Yin cores of women.
Women’s Yin cores were a great nourishment to Jiu Yin. Apparently, he absorbed the Yin core of the Radiant Church’s Saint Maiden, and that was why he was labeled as one of the Eight Great Heretics.
Hei Xuan detested his vile methods.
Chu Kuangren was struck with realization after the explanation.
…
A raging energy burst out in the void.
Two figures were blasted away.
It was Chi Yun and Yu Nie.
They were fighting.
“Again!”
Chi Yun looked battle-aroused. His domineering Daoist law transformed into crimson flames, and he hurled them at Yu Nie.
Yu Nie was forced to dodge in a hurry.
A while later, Yu Nie surrendered.
He looked at Chi Yun and said, “I am impressed by your strength.”
“Hmph. You’re too weak.”
Chi Yun grunted as he looked at his hands. “I shall be the ruler of this newly reset Great Hongmeng Universe!”
Yu Nie rolled his eyes at Chi Yun’s outrageous claims.
He was also a proud person, but he knew there were countless Prodigies and Outliers in the Great Hongmeng Universe.
It was not easy to rule over this era.
Although Chi Yun was far from qualified, it did not discourage him. He said with a pretentious smile, “Brother Chi Yun is ambitious. I believe you will be able to make a name here in the Great Hongmeng Universe one day and maybe be as good as the Tempest King from the previous era.”
“Tempest King…”
The name reminded Chi Yun of something. “I heard the Tempest Palace appeared a while ago. Was it true?”
The Great Hongmeng Universe was boundless.
The Tempest Palace’s appearance attracted many forces, but not all forces could make it to the scene.
Many of them did not know about the appearance at all.
“It was, and the one who got the Tempest King’s inheritance is in Black Flame City. It’s Brother Chu, who I brought here.”
“The human that rode on Hei Xuan’s head?”
“Yes.”
Chi Yin’s eyes shimmered. “How strong is he?”
“Very strong.”
“Compared to me?”
“Uh…” Yu Nie sounded hesitant.
His hesitance irritated Chi Yun.
Chi Yun grunted and said, “So, am I weaker than him?”
Yu Nie shook his head. “I didn’t mean that. I guess you are both good in different fields.”
“Good in different fields? You make it sound good, but I think you believe Chu Kuangren is a lot stronger than me,” Chi Yun argued.
Knowing the time was right, Yu Nie lamented, “He got the Tempest King’s inheritance, after all. It’s only normal for him to be better than you and I.”
“Is that so? In that case, I must test how strong he is.”
Chi Yun’s figure vanished in a flash.
Yu Nie’s eyes shimmered, and he quickly sent a message through his talisman.
…
Somewhere in the palace, Chu Kuangren was cultivating and planning his next move.
Hei Xuan got up and wanted to head outside.
With a look of anticipation, he said to Chu Kuangren, “Chu Kuangren, I’m going drinking with Yu Yan. He said he has a million-years-aged wine. Are you coming?”
“If he invited you, I shouldn’t interrupt,” Chu Kuangren said.
Yu Yan knew Hei Xuan was with Chu Kuangren, and if the man did not invite him, it was obvious that he did not want Chu Kuangren to tag along.
If so, why embarrass himself?
“Alright. I’m heading out.”
Hei Xuan left eagerly.
After he left, a powerful aura descended from the sky and enveloped the palace whole.
Chi Yun strutted into the hall.
He looked at Chu Kuangren, eager for a battle. “Draw your sword and fight me. If you lose, hand over the Tempest King’s inheritance.”
The Tempest King was crowned king for her conquest during the last Hongmeng Era.
Every sky-pride and Prodigy admired her, including Chi Yun.
If he wanted to rule over this era, the Tempest King’s inheritance would be a great help to him.
“You’re a little cocky,” Chu Kuangren said as he looked at Chi Yun coldly.
His gaze made Chi Yun feel like he had fallen into an abyss of ice.
Then, his body was engulfed in crimson flame, and the light from the Daoist law shimmered around him. The flame even contained the energy of multiple Daos.
He was a Primordial!
Chi Yun revealed his true strength.
He was a young Primordial, and judging from his combat strength, he had fused more than nine Daos. He was not just any common Primordial!
“So what if I’m a little cocky?” Chi Yun chuckled.
The flame burned strongly in his hand and formed a long saber that had mystical Daoist law patterns carved on it.
It was a decent Premium Innate Supreme Treasure.
He swung the saber at Chu Kuangren, unleashing a blast of flame forward.
It engulfed the entire palace in flame in just a moment.
“Bang!”
The saber swung down. However, when it was inches away from Chu Kuangren, it stopped and could not move further as if it had hit a wall.
It did not even budge!
“What?”
Chi Yun was surprised.
Then, he bellowed and channeled his energy to the limit.
The Primordial Flame attacked Chu Kuangren’s barrier again.
“Only an able person can be cocky; if you’re not capable enough, it will get you killed.”
Chu Kuangren got up.
The Daoist law energy in him was activated, and it shattered the barrier in an instant.
Terrifying energy drowned Chi Yun whole in an instant.
Before he could use his ultimate attack, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist and tainted the hall red.
Just like that, Chi Yun was killed!
The gory scene shocked Yu Nie, who came to have a look.
He had considered Chu Kuangren killing Chi Yun, but he did not expect it to be so easy and swift.
“Brother Chu, how could you kill Brother Chi Yun? All he wanted to do was spar with you!” Yu Nie roared angrily.
Chu Kuangren said, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”
“What do you mean?”
Yu Nie’s expression changed. He bellowed, “Chu Kuangren, don’t you accuse me. You’re the one who killed Brother Chu Yun!”
After that, a terrifying aura swept in from outside the palace.
It flooded the area in an instant.
“Who killed my son?!”
An enraged voice echoed across the universe.
Jiu Yin entered the palace with a frosty look. When he saw the blood across the hall, he got so angry that his body shook.
He glared at Chu Kuangren, his gaze cold.
“You killed my son! You will pay for this!”
Only Chu Kuangren and Yu Nie were in the hall, and he knew Yu Nie was not strong enough to kill Chi Yun. Hence, the killer must be Chu Kuangren.
