Chapter 1149: Activating the Samsara Emperor Seal, a New Ghost Emperor Is Born
Outside Shenshu Palace, the white-robed female ghost led an attack with an endless army of dead souls that surrounded the cultivators, sky-prides, and Heavenly Champions of various great orthodoxies.
Even Lil Zhurong was frowning as there was nothing he could do.
“Female ghost, the Samsara Emperor Seal is with the Hundred Academy’s Chief. He’s the one you’re looking for, so please let us go.”
At that moment, one of the cultivators could no longer suppress his fear, and he hoped to gain a chance of survival by ratting out to the enemy.
The others also uttered Chu Kuangren’s name in unison.
“That’s right. The Emperor Seal is with him now. We don’t have it.”
“Please let us go, female ghost. Otherwise, when the armies from our orthodoxies arrive, even you’ll find it hard to survive their attack.”
The cultivators of the Hundred Academy did not look too happy with what they heard.
However, before they could say anything, Chu Kuangren had made his move.
With his sword hand sign pointed out, surges of sword qi shot out one after another. Afraid, those cultivators who exposed him immediately tried to block his attack. However, they severely underestimated his strength and were all killed in the blink of an eye.
…
At that moment, the stench of blood filled the air.
“Oh, so you’re the Hundred Academy’s Chief they were talking about,” said the white-robed female ghost while looking at Chu Kuangren.
She could tell Chu Kuangren’s cultivation level with just a glance. Perfected Ninth-grade Earthen Emperor? It was not bad, but it was no threat to her.
A True Immortal was two levels above an Earthen Immortal.
Besides, she possessed one of the best combat strengths among the True Immortals. Even if a Gilded Immortal were to come to the Fengdu Underworld City, she could still battle him without worry.
...
“You’re the Ghost Ruler of this area, I suppose.”
“That’s right.”
“Interesting, it’s extremely rare to find someone who can reach such a high level just by devouring dead souls. It’s a pity that death qi is the only thing you possess, not a cultivation level.”
Chu Kuangren shook his head.
He had a keen sight, so he could immediately see that the female ghost only had that level of death qi because she devoured a huge number of dead souls. When it came to cultivation level, she was not even on an Earthen Immortal level.
Besides her, most of the dead souls in Fengdu Underworld City were the same as well. After all, those above an Immortal’s level would have escaped the cycle of rebirth.
Unless they personally wished to be reincarnated, of course.
“Although I don’t possess a cultivation realm, my death qi alone should be enough to kill you. However, I can offer you a chance. If you hand me the Samsara Emperor Seal, I can preserve your Immortal Soul and allow you to become a general under my rule,” the white-robed female ghost said.
“Is that so? In that case, I shall offer a chance as well. Leave now, and you might have a chance to continue living in this ghastly form of yours,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Upon hearing his words, everyone was dumbfounded.
They were all doubting if they had heard him correctly.
‘How dare an Earthen Immortal like him speak to the Fengdu Underworld City’s Ghost Ruler, a being with the strength of a True Immortal, in such a manner?’
‘Is he bored of living?’
“This guy is seeking death!” Lil Zhurong sneered.
Even the Immortal Hall’s Young Imperial Commander was not at the True Immortal Realm yet. From his perspective, only one outcome would await Chu Kuangren if he faced a True Immortal, and that was death.
Yet, he was speaking so arrogantly.
Boom!
A denser eruption of death qi and rage qi rose into the air, enveloping the whole area, and everyone could not help but shudder in fear.
Sure enough, the white-robed female ghost’s expression turned ghastly upon hearing what Chu Kuangren said. She already could not wait to kill him.
“Since you have chosen death, I shall fulfill your wis.h.!.+”
Her dark, cold voice echoed throughout the whole Fengdu Underworld City. Besides the cultivators, even the dead souls could not help but s.h.i.+ver in fear.
Li w.a.n.gchen, Zhao Fangfei, w.a.n.g Chentian, and the other Hundred Academy Heavenly Champions looked at Chu Kuangren anxiously.
Even if they were very confident in Chu Kuangren, they could not imagine how he was going to deal with a top-tier True Immortal like her.
Celestial demonic qi started swirling around Chu Kuangren’s body.
The sight of that shocked the white-robed female ghost. Suddenly, she felt a threat that she had never felt before coming from Chu Kuangren’s body.
It was as if a terrifying power was contained inside him.
“It looks like I’ll have to use up my first strand of celestial demonic qi,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Previously, the Celestial Demon cultivator, Bei Ming, found him and left three strands of celestial demonic qi inside his body for protection.
Chu Kuangren handed one over to the Firmament Star and kept two for himself.
As the best Arch Gilded Immortal, who was also a Celestial Demon cultivator, the strength of Bei Ming’s celestial demonic qi was unquestionable.
Chu Kuangren reckoned that Bei Ming could easily kill a Gilded Immortal, let alone that white-robed female ghost.
“Young man, why don’t you try activating the Samsara Emperor Seal with your Heavenly Samsara Physique?”
Just when Chu Kuangren was preparing to use Bei Ming’s celestial demonic qi, a voice suddenly rang inside his mind.
Chu Kuangren changed his mind when he heard that voice and retracted the celestial demonic qi. Instead, he took out the Samsara Emperor Seal.
Once the black Emperor Seal was in his hand, mysterious energy fluctuations spread everywhere from the Daoist patterns carved on it.
A coveting look appeared in the white-robed female ghost’s eyes the moment she saw that Emperor Seal. “It’s the Emperor Seal, the Samsara Emperor Seal!”
Whoos.h.!.+
The white-robed female ghost immediately turned into a white shadow and charged toward the Emperor Seal. As she reached out to grab it, her terrifying death qi immediately engulfed Chu Kuangren whole.
However, at this moment, the Samsara Emperor Seal suddenly rose into the air.
A black halo circulated the Emperor Seal, causing the white-robed female ghost’s death qi to disperse as they made contact with it. She, too, was eventually affected by the halo and was sent flying tens of kilometers away.
“How is this possible?”
Everyone was stupefied.
‘The white-robed female ghost was sent flying!’
‘The female ghost, a top-tier True Immortal, was blasted away by an Earthen Immortal who is no match for her!’
‘What the h.e.l.l is going on?!’
Before everyone could understand what was happening, the black halo emanating from the Samsara Emperor Seal expanded in size.
An unimaginably terrifying aura emerged from that Emperor Seal and caused the whole Fengdu Underworld City to rumble.
As if having felt something, the countless dead souls started s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably before they all knelt on the ground.
Even the Heavenly Immortal dead souls did the same.
They were behaving as if… they were heralding the arrival of the Ghost Emperor!
“The Samsara Emperor Seal. It’s the Samsara Emperor Seal!”
Every cultivator looked at the Emperor Seal and immediately knew something was happening. However, they were not sure why the Emperor Seal would suddenly have such a reaction.
“Did the Hundred Academy’s Chief activate the Emperor Seal?”
Lil Zhurong looked puzzled. “Then again, this is impossible. For all we know, that’s an Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon, so how can a mere Earthen Immortal like him activate it? Besides, he only got it moments ago. What is really going on here?”
The higher the level of an Immortal Weapon, the harder it would be to use or control it. It might even be impossible for some ordinary cultivators to refine it.
Besides, Chu Kuangren had just obtained the Emperor Seal, let alone refined it. How could he possibly activate it all of a sudden?
“Unless… Has the Emperor Seal automatically acknowledged him as its Master?!!”
Lil Zhurong thought of something, and he found it even more unbelievable.
‘An Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon automatically acknowledging him as its Master?!’
‘Moreover, that’s the Samsara Emperor Seal, an Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon that symbolizes the ident.i.ty and rule of a Ghost Emperor. Did this Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon just acknowledge him as its Master?!’
‘This is simply inconceivable.’
Besides Lil Zhurong, the other cultivators also had the same theory, and they looked at Chu Kuangren, who was holding the Emperor Seal in the air. He was gleaming with Immortal Sparks, and samsara energy was swirling around him. Everyone was stunned!
“Has a new Ghost Emperor been born?!”
