Chapter 782: A Few Familiar Faces, Eight Venerable G.o.ds
For countless years, the G.o.ds have reigned supreme in the world.
This was especially true for the Venerable G.o.ds.
In the eyes of everyone, it was impossible to win against the Venerable G.o.ds, who possessed devastating strength with every movement they made. Although the human race had come up with cultivation techniques and had undergone many years of progress with it, the strongest human cultivator still paled in comparison to the Venerable G.o.ds.
Yet, as of now, Chu Kuangren has defeated a Venerable G.o.d before everyone’s eyes!
Moreover, he was unscathed!
This made countless humans extremely excited. It turned out that the G.o.ds were not invincible and that humans could defeat them!
“We can definitely win. Our human race will rise, and we will never be slaves to the G.o.ds!”
“As long as Saint Cang is with us, we can win!”
Yan Wu, Feng Gu, and the others were extremely delighted.
Inside the G.o.dly Mountain.
The Venerable G.o.ds watching this could no longer sit still.
“I can’t believe Cang is that powerful!”
“Even a Venerable G.o.d is no match for him?”
Everyone was incredibly terrified.
For the first time, they felt that their supremacy was threatened.
“No, we can’t keep Cang alive any longer. We must get rid of him right now!”
“Everyone, I suppose you’re clear about this by now. Cang is only strong in mind power. He’s not an Immortal like we thought.”
“As long as he’s not an Immortal, there will certainly be a limit to his mind power no matter how powerful he is. Let’s dispatch a few more Venerable G.o.ds. I refuse to believe he can fight so many of us.”
“That’s right….”
Strong killing intent shone in the Venerable G.o.ds’ eyes.
With Chu Kuangren’s existence threatening their position in the world now, there was no way they would sit idly by and watch as he led the human race to greatness.
…
Inside the Flame Bulwark Tribe.
Chu Kuangren has just defeated the Venerable t.i.tan G.o.d.
His aura was extremely steady and calm — a clear sign that he did not exert much strength in that battle.
A person’s mind power originates from their soul. With Chu Kuangren’s current level of soul energy, defeating a Venerable G.o.d was not too difficult for him.
“Cough… Cough… You’re dead…”
The Venerable t.i.tan G.o.d slowly crawled out from the crater. He looked at Chu Kuangren as he coughed blood, with deep hatred seeping from his eyes.
As a Venerable G.o.d, this was his first time being in such a disheveled state.
“Oh, you’re not dead. It looks like your G.o.dly Physique is quite unusual compared to the others. No wonder you’re called the Venerable t.i.tan G.o.d.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Cang, you have no idea of the forces that are behind the G.o.ds. Even if you kill me now, I’ll never be truly dead. I will be reborn once again from the G.o.dly Mountain after several thousand years.”
“That’s the true might of us Venerable G.o.ds.”
The Venerable t.i.tan G.o.d laughed.
Chu Kuangren was not surprised to hear this.
He had learned about this in the records back in the future. That was the main reason why the humans decided to seal the G.o.ds away instead of killing them.
“It doesn’t matter. You guys can be reborn whenever you like because I’ll be the nightmare that will haunt all of you forever!” Chu Kuangren uttered.
Then, he gently raised his hand and gathered the Unlimited Armaments Devastation once again.
However, the sky suddenly turned dark. Several horrifying waves of divine powers soon erupted from the horizon.
Each of them was similar to the Venerable t.i.tan G.o.d in strength.
“You’re too naive, Cang!”
“Do you think I’m the only Venerable G.o.d around? Do you think the other Venerable G.o.ds will stand idly by now that you’ve shown yourself powerful enough to defeat us? You can defeat me, but can you defeat several of us Venerable G.o.ds together?”
The Venerable t.i.tan G.o.d laughed as a look of delight appeared in his eyes.
Chu Kuangren then stepped on his head.
“You’re too noisy.”
Boom!
A mighty burst of mind power erupted. Considering he was already critically injured, the Venerable t.i.tan G.o.d’s head immediately exploded. A Venerable G.o.d was… dead!
A golden rhombus-shaped crystal fell out.
That was the Venerable G.o.d’s divine fragment.
Chu Kuangren picked it up and tossed it into his Yin and Yang ring.
After killing the Venerable t.i.tan G.o.d, a horrifying surge of freezing qi suddenly erupted from his surroundings, freezing all the lands within a thousand-kilometer radius.
Gusts of chilling wind swept towards the Flame Bulwark Tribe.
If those cold winds reach the Flame Bulwark Tribe, there was no telling how many people would be killed. At that critical moment, Chu Kuangren unleashed his miniverse, s.h.i.+elding the whole Flame Bulwark Tribe within it.
Under the protection of his miniverse, everyone was saved from that disaster.
Crackle… Boom…
The ground started to quake as the sound of thunder boomed in the sky. Storms raged as torrential floods flooded the area. Several disasters with the might of the divine power appeared one after another. Before the might of those disasters, the Flame Bulwark Tribe seemed extremely minuscule.
Everyone knew that those disasters would have destroyed them if it were not for the protection of Chu Kuangren’s miniverse.
“What a horrifying divine power fluctuation, and there are several of them too! It’s the Venerable G.o.ds. How many of them have come?”
“Are the G.o.ds h.e.l.l-bent on wiping out the whole human race with this lineup?”
“I don’t think so. The G.o.ds still require us, humans, to harvest the Power of Faith. There’s no way they’ll completely wipe us out. I’m afraid these Venerable G.o.ds are here to kill Saint Cang instead.”
“Even Saint Cang won’t be able to deal with so many Venerable G.o.ds at once, right? A powerful being like him has finally appeared among us, humans! Is he going to fall just like that?!”
“D*mn it…”
The continuous wave of disasters greatly horrified everyone. Even a Heavenly Imperial seemed incredibly insignificant before such power.
Everyone knew that these disasters were happening because of one person.
Chu Kuangren stood in mid-air, his average-height figure seeming unusually tall before the likes of the terrifying disasters.
He looked very calm despite what was happening.
There was an indomitable aura to him.
The first Venerable G.o.d soon appeared amidst the blizzard.
It was a man in white robes and with a grim expression. This person was the Venerable Ice G.o.d, the one who gave Cang the Frost Seal Mark in the past.
After him, a figure in blue appeared from the dark clouds. Jolts of blue lightning could be seen sparking around him, making him look domineering.
That was the Venerable Thunder G.o.d.
Gusts of strong winds gathered and turned into a woman.
It was the Venerable Storm G.o.d.
Streams of flames then gathered in the sky, forming a hulking man with fiery hair. He was the Venerable Fire G.o.d.
A bright white light radiated in the sky, while extreme darkness appeared on the other side. The two of them opposed each other like water and oil.
The Venerable Light G.o.d and Venerable Darkness G.o.d had also appeared.
As the ground quaked, a gigantic stone pillar suddenly emerged, revealing a stalwart figure standing on top of it. That was the Venerable Earth G.o.d!
Hum…
The void trembled, and a black gate soon appeared.
As soon as the gate opened, a figure wearing long black robes with countless ghouls surrounding him walked out. That person was the… Underworld G.o.d.
“I see a few familiar faces here.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Back in the future, he had once battled the G.o.d Wors.h.i.+pping Cult, whose followers could channel the power of their G.o.ds and use divine power to summon their respective G.o.ds in the form of G.o.dly Apparitions. Hence, he had seen all of the G.o.ds here before.
In particular, he had met the Underworld G.o.d, Venerable Light G.o.d, and Venerable Darkness G.o.d several times before.
“The Venerable Ice G.o.d, Venerable Fire G.o.d, Venerable Storm G.o.d… By the heavens, there are eight Venerable G.o.ds here. Eight Venerable G.o.ds have come!”
“By the heavens, this is just too terrifying.”
Compared to Chu Kuangren’s calm look, the cultivators watching this battle could not help but gasp.
One Venerable G.o.d was enough to plunge everyone into despair.
Yet, eight Venerable G.o.ds had just appeared!
“It’s over. We’re done for. We’re really screwed this time. Even though Saint Cang is powerful, he’s still no match for eight Venerable G.o.ds.”
“Why are the heavens destroying the human race’s future!”
