Chapter 681: Prepare to Deal With the Religious Orthodoxies, Where Is Your G.o.d Now?
“Brother Chu, I’ll be busy dealing with the G.o.ds that have broken free, and the remaining Emperors have to stand guard over the G.o.ds that are sealed. In that case, I’ll need you to handle those religious orthodoxies for now,” said the Seventh Tormentor to Chu Kuangren frustratingly over the communication compa.s.s.
Chu Kuangren frowned a little when he heard that.
“Me? Alone?”
“What’s the matter, Brother Chu? Are you afraid?”
“Oh, are you trying to prod me into action with this sarcasm? Heavenly Tormentor,” Chu Kuangren asked lightly.
“Don’t you worry, Brother Chu. I won’t ask you to do this without giving you something in return. If you’re able to get rid of the religious orthodoxies, I shall offer you anything you want.”
The Seventh Tormentor said with a chuckle.
“Deal.”
Chu Kuangren accepted that troublesome task. He was planning to head to Barren Cloud Prefecture and find out what the religious orthodoxies were up to anyway.
Full Moon Kingdom, inside the White Lotus School
A battle of religious beliefs was currently being fought.
The School of White Lotus cultivators were surrounded by many religious cultivators wearing blue, red, and white robes.
“Fire G.o.d Cult, Water G.o.d Cult, Ice G.o.d Cult, I can’t believe these cults that only rose a few months ago can push my School of White Lotus to this point.” The White Lotus School Leader laughed bitterly.
A man in red robes before her said, “That’s because you guys are not wors.h.i.+pping a true G.o.d! How can the White Lotus Sage Ruler, a mere cultivator who’s not even an Emperor, be worthy of the people’s wors.h.i.+p?”
Even the Immemorial Sage, who was beside the White Lotus School Leader, gritted her teeth. However, she was speechless because their White Lotus Sage Ruler was indeed no match for the G.o.ds behind these cults. He was not even a match for their elders.
The White Lotus Sage Ruler was only a Sage.
Nevertheless, it was no longer the era where the Sages held dominion in the world.
Before the likes of those Emperors and G.o.ds, the School of White Lotus’s faith was just too weak and not worth mentioning.
“Today, the School of White Lotus will be no more.”
“From this day onwards, the Full Moon Kingdom and all the other kingdoms in the south, as well as the entire Barren Cloud Prefecture shall wors.h.i.+p the true G.o.d!” the red-robed man said.
After that, he raised his hand and began channeling his spiritual power.
He then unleashed a palm attack, and its terrifying Daoist Rhyme immediately locked onto the School of White Lotus cultivators.
The power of that palm attack was far beyond the level of a Boundary Emperor, let alone a Sage Ruler. There was no way the White Lotus School Leader and others could survive this.
At this moment, everyone was filled with despair.
The School of White Lotus was about to be destroyed…
Everyone closed their eyes in silence as they awaited their impending death.
However, the suffering they expected to hit them did not come through at all, so some of them slowly opened their eyes.
Out of nowhere, a white figure has appeared in front of them.
That person was dressed in spotless white robes and had a slender figure akin to a long sword. As he stood with his back against everyone, they felt a sense of greatness from him.
Upon seeing him, the White Lotus School Leader and others felt that the person was distinctly familiar.
“It’s… It’s the Supreme Elder!!”
The Immemorial Sage was incredibly delighted.
The other cultivators, too, became hopeful again.
“It’s the Supreme Elder. It’s our Supreme Elder.”
“I can’t believe the Supreme Elder is here. This is wonderful! With him around, we’ll certainly be safe.”
While the White Lotus School cultivators were very excited, the disciples of the religious orthodoxies could not help but frown as they looked at Chu Kuangren.
This was especially so for the red-robed man from the Fire G.o.d Cult, who had no idea why Chu Kuangren was here.
Besides that, his attack had also disappeared without a trace the moment Chu Kuangren arrived. Such power was truly unbelievable.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you?”
The red-robed man looked at Chu Kuangren, who had suddenly appeared, and asked.
At the same time, the powerful cultivators beside him were on high alert.
“It looks like you guys are the ones who have been rapidly spreading your so-called religion these days. Who are the G.o.ds that you wors.h.i.+p?”
Chu Kuangren looked at the red-robed man and others.
“Hmph, I’m a true believer of the G.o.d of Fire.”
“I’m a faithful servant of the G.o.d of Water. If you know who you’re messing with here, I suggest you leave right now.”
“I’m a believer in the G.o.d of Ice, my child. These heretics who believe in false G.o.ds are beyond unforgivable, so you better leave as soon as you can.”
The powerful cultivators of the three religious orthodoxies looked at Chu Kuangren and warned him.
They could tell that he was not someone to be messed with. Hence, they decided to scare him using the name of their G.o.ds.
However, Chu Kuangren frowned after hearing what they had to say. He then asked, “So you’re saying that the School of White Lotus has been wors.h.i.+pping a false G.o.d? Then how are the G.o.ds you’re wors.h.i.+pping true G.o.ds?”
“That’s obvious. The G.o.ds we wors.h.i.+p have existed ever since this world was created. As for the White Lotus Sage Ruler, whom the School of White Lotus wors.h.i.+p, he’s only a tiny Sage Ruler and has no right to call himself a G.o.d. That’s why he’s a false G.o.d!”
“Oh, I see. About tens of thousands of years ago, when a three-headed hound from the Underworld was wreaking havoc here, it was the White Lotus Sage Ruler who took action and saved millions of civilians from their destruction. Now, allow me to ask, where were your G.o.ds during that time?!”
Chu Kuangren chuckled, his gaze turning cold. An immeasurably terrifying aura emanated from his body. The powerful cultivators at the scene were so scared that their expressions s.h.i.+fted, and some were even forced to kneel on the spot!
It was his Emperor’s Aura!
“It seems like the rumors are true. Our Supreme Elder has indeed become an Emperor.”
The White Lotus School Leader, Immemorial Sage, and others were overjoyed.
To them, an Emperor was a supreme being on a higher level of existence.
“Now that I’m going to kill all of you, where is your G.o.d?”
Chu Kuangren uttered lightly.
He mobilized his Emperor Thought, and an invisible wave of mind power instantly enveloped the surroundings. One by one, mists of blood exploded in the air like bloossoming devilish flowers.
“Almighty G.o.d of Fire, give us strength!”
“Almighty G.o.d of Water, help me slay my enemy!”
“Almighty G.o.d of Ice, allow me to kill this heretic before you…”
The Boundary Emperors, the ones with the highest cultivation level among the crowd, suddenly erupted with power. In the dark, a surge of energy suddenly gave them an increase in power.
A sky full of flames, vast currents of water, and attacks of endless ice power instantly unleashed towards Chu Kuangren, causing the void to tremble violently.
Chu Kuangren remained expressionless. “Is this the best your so-called G.o.ds can offer? Such a petty amount of power.”
He allowed the three different energies to crash mercilessly onto his body. However, he remained still. Not a single hair on his body was affected.
Those energies could not even hurt his Emperor body.
Everyone was completely astounded by this.
“Retreat!”
“Let’s run. We’re not a match for this Emperor.”
The followers of those religious orthodoxies wanted to escape.
However, Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Thoughts surged forth in his command and trapped them in an invisible force field. All of a sudden, they could not move.
“Now, die.”
Chu Kuangren said lightly.
Poof, poof, poof…
Countless blood mists exploded in the sky, forming a bloodbath.
It took a while for the School of White Lotus cultivators to return to their senses. Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren with a pa.s.sionate and admiring gaze.
In their eyes, Chu Kuangren looked like a G.o.d at this moment!
When Chu Kuangren noticed this scene, he pondered before coming to the Immemorial Sage and the others.
“Greetings, great Emperor!”
The Immemorial Sage and White Lotus School Leader hurriedly bowed.
“Greetings, it’s good to see all of you again. I’ve come this time to learn about these religious orthodoxies, I hope you can tell me everything you know about them.”
“I see. Very well, great Emperor, please come with us.”
“Heh, there’s no need to be so formal around me. I’m still the White Lotus School’s Supreme Elder after all.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
After that, they entered the School of White Lotus’s inner hall, where the White Lotus School Leader told him everything that had been happening in Barren Cloud Prefecture.
