Chapter 1113: Destroying The Yokai Hall, Two Slashes, One Heavenly Immortal, Divine Tree Fusang
As one of the ancient immortal orthodoxies, the Honorable Yokai Hall had rich resources.
Although the battle in Void Valley attracted a huge crowd, quite some Earthen Immortals stayed back at the hall for security reasons.
Apparently, the Yokai Hall even had kept another First-grade Heavenly Immortal a secret.
Albeit weaker than the Yokai Ruler, he was still powerful as a First-grade Heavenly Immortal.
“Sigh. The battle between the Crown Prince and Chu Kuangren must be fascinating. Too bad we can’t go.”
“Yeah, too bad.”
Several yokai cultivators were chatting at the golden entrance of the Yokai Hall. They felt bad that they could not attend the battle at Void Valley.
The Crown Prince of Yokai Hall was the owner of the five wills of the Immortal World, and Chu Kuangren was the most infamous person in Planquilon Immortal World at the moment.
The battle between the two was ought to be fascinating. The outcome of the battle might even directly affect the future of Planquilon Immortal World.
“After this battle, the Crown Prince will be the Heavenly Champion, and he will surely lead the Yokai Hall to conquer the rest of the Immortal World!” said one of the yokai cultivators, who was Jin Diyi’s admirer.
“That’s right. The Crown Prince’s powers are unpredictable. No matter how G.o.dly the rumors say Chu Kuangren is, he’s no match for the Crown Prince.”
“It’s time Chu Kuangren tasted defeat.”
“Chu Kuangren doesn’t live up to his name.”
The yokai cultivators joked and chatted.
They knew Chu Kuangren was ridiculously powerful, but the Crown Prince of Yokai Hall that they admired was not weak either. It was only natural they would lean toward their preference.
Besides, they were at the Honorable Yokai Hall. Why would they cheer for the enemy instead of supporting their own Crown Prince?
...
Kaboom!
As the chat went on, an eruption of spiritual qi happened further away, causing the sky and clouds to rumble. A violet sword shadow of a million meters shot into the sky and headed toward the Yokai Hall.
The Sword-like Heavenly Intent’s enormous power was almost unpredictable.
“Sh*t!”
“What?!”
The yokai cultivators were shocked and terrified.
Under their terrified gaze, the violet sword shadow struck the golden gate of the Yokai Hall. Following a deafening explosion, the gate was cut in half.
Not only that, but the enormous sword qi continued forward into the Yokai Hall after destroying the gate. The sword qi caused immeasurable destruction to the grand interior of the Yokai Hall in the wake of its trial. Several treasured places for cultivation were destroyed as well.
The yokai cultivators stood no chance at all in the face of the sword qi. Before they could reach, the sword qi caused them to explode into a cloud of blood mist.
“Someone is attacking the Yokai Hall!”
“D*mn it! Who is it? Who dares attack the Yokai Hall?”
“They must have a death wis.h.!.+”
“What a terrifying sword qi… Who did this?”
“Terrifying.”
The whole Yokai Hall fell into chaos and panic.
When the sword qi faded, only the ruins of the Yokai Hall were left. A giant sword mark had cut the entire structure into half. All who survived the initial attack were stunned and overwhelmed.
The yokai cultivators then looked into the distance.
A young man in white glided across the air as he approached the hall. Each step emanated energy stronger than the previous.
When he was finally at the Yokai Hall’s gate, his vast and boundless aura enveloped all the yokai cultivators. Everyone was terrified as if they were looking at their greatest enemy.
“What terrifying energy!”
“It’s him! It’s Chu Kuangren!”
Someone gasped in fear when he recognized Chu Kuangren.
“How is this possible? Shouldn’t he be at Void Valley?”
“Does that mean…”
A terrifying thought appeared in their minds.
“Does that mean the Crown Prince lost? Otherwise, why is he here? No, this is not possible!”
The yokai cultivators who admired Jin Diyi wholeheartedly found it unbelievable when they realized what happened.
Following Chu Kuangren’s arrival, many other figures arrived behind him.
Gong Yue, the Dean, the Huang Mountain Ruler, the Sword Crown, and the Eldest Master…
“Today will be the day the Yokai Hall ceases to exist,” Chu Kuangren said.
He was not loud, but his voice echoed throughout the remains of the Yokai Hall.
Countless surviving cultivators came out from the remains and stared at Chu Kuangren with fear and cautiousness. They were terrified.
“Why is Chu Kuangren here?”
“Where is the Yokai Ruler?”
They were baffled. Even if the Crown Prince lost, what about the Yokai Ruler and the other elder yokai?
Some of the cultivators who came to watch felt bad for the yokai cultivators because they had no idea that the Yokai Ruler and the elder yokai were defeated.
“Hmph! Cease to exist? Dream on!”
A voice came from deeper inside the Yokai Hall.
Then, the might of a Heavenly Immortal erupted.
A loud roar later, a ma.s.sive tiger with wings jumped out with rampant and bloodthirsty presence.
“Oh, a manticore.” Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes.
A manticore bloodline’s talent was as good as a divine beast despite being only a wild beast.
He had come across quite a lot of manticores before, including the Four Great Wild Beasts, but they all only possessed some of the Four Great Wild Beasts’ bloodline.
However, the bloodline of the manticore before him was close to a pure-blooded manticore. In addition to its Heavenly Immortal status, it was very powerful.
“Too bad. If you’re a pure-blooded manticore and a Heavenly Immortal, I might be afraid. However, you’re not. Who gives you the audacity to defy me?” Chu Kuangren said.
With that, he took a step forward, activating the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique and Chaos Celestial Demon Physique at the same time. He pointed his sword hand sign forward, and a terrifying Sword-like Heavenly Intent swept across the place.
“Sword-like Heavenly Intent!”
It attacked the manticore.
“What?!”
The manticore was shocked, with disbelief written all over his face.
He trembled at the sight of the violet sword ray coming toward him. He was a Heavenly Immortal, yet he was trembling before a mere Earthen Immortal.
How was it possible?
The sword ray was coming down fast. The moment it struck him, he was immediately sent flying backward.
The sword ray destroyed the protective Immortal’s Core energy around him and cut his body.
Manticore’s blood gushed out from the cut.
Just one slash, and the manticore was injured.
Chu Kuangren did not hesitate to perform another slash, but this time, he went for the manticore’s neck.
Just like that, the Heavenly Immortal manticore was beheaded.
Two slashes! It took Chu Kuangren two slashes to kill a Heavenly Immortal!
Everyone else looked dumbfounded. Even the Dean and other Heavenly Immortals could not believe what just happened.
“His power is far beyond the realm’s power. No matter when or where I see it, it always overwhelms me,” Gong Yue exclaimed.
The death of the Heavenly Immortal manticore shocked the rest of the elder yokai. Having lost their will to battle, they started to flee in every direction.
The others quickly intercepted and killed the yokai on the spot.
It was a one-sided battle from the start.
Chu Kuangren mobilized his Immortal Consciousness to scan the whole Yokai Hall, but he did not find the Yokai Ruler.
“Is he so scared that he dare not come back?” Chu Kuangren scoffed. He was not overly bothered by the absence.
One of the strongest ancient immortal orthodoxies of Planquilon Immortal World must have a lot of treasures kept within, and he had his eyes on them from the very start.
After scouring the place, he found quite a number of treasures.
“Hm?”
He noticed something interesting during his search. His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Then, he reappeared in the deepest part of the hall, and before him was a towering tree.
It was a huge mulbery tree with red trunk and gold leaves.
The top glimmered with Immortal Sparks, and the mysterious pattern on its trunk looked like Daoist patterns.
“This is… Fusang!”
