Chapter 109: Nine-Pearled Crown, King Among the Mountain Of Corpses and Sea Of Blood
“He… He did it!”
In Mountain River City, everyone who witnessed Chu Kuangren’s merciless slaughter of a hundred thousand demonic cultivators through the Aerial Observation Mirror was shocked beyond words!
However, everyone burst into happiness right after!
“He did it! He succeeded!”
“With the hundred thousand demonic cultivators dead, this marks the end of the demonic onslaught in the Northern Lingdao State. Even if the remaining few were to cause trouble, it won’t be something we need to be afraid of anymore.”
“I agree. That’s just great…”
“Brother Chu is like a G.o.d!”
The admiration and adoration that the Mountain River City citizens had towards Chu Kuangren were at its peak. Some even kneeled and bowed upon the sight of him, wors.h.i.+pping him as their guardian deity.
That scene was similar to when the White Lotus Sage Ruler single-handedly saved the lives of millions throughout southern countries back in the days. Even to this day, her name and achievements were still being pa.s.sed down from generation to generation.
It was the same with Chu Kuangren.
His name would forever remain as a part of the Northern Lingdao State’s history, and he would be praised and revered from that day onwards!
“How’s this possible? How did he do it!”
Compared to the common folk who were beyond ecstatic, Ao Chang, Fangtian, and the others looked really unpleasant as they fixed their gazes on the Aerial Observation Mirror with a sense of dissatisfaction.
They had originally planned to take action once Chu Kuangren failed and their men were prepared to take over once that happened. However, all that was meaningless now.
Chu Kuangren had done what they thought was impossible — he had single-handedly killed a hundred thousand demonic cultivators.
Among the crowd, a white-robed old man lamented as he looked through the Aerial Observation Mirror. “What a peculiar occurrence! What an anomaly!”
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain range, the fight between the Seventh Forefather and others still had not ended.
However, when everyone took notice on the other side of the mountain range, the battle between Chu Kuangren and a hundred thousand demonic cultivators had ended.
“The rumbling of battle has stopped?”
“It has concluded then. The demonic spear must have fallen into someone’s hands by now.”
Impatient, everyone channeled their spiritual thoughts towards that area.
The moment an image of the other side of the mountain range appeared in their minds, everyone’s expression, including the Chakra King, changed drastically.
Among the mountain of corpses in a sea of blood stood a white figure.
Even the Honorables could not help but be shocked by that scene.
“Every demonic cultivator is dead?”
“That’s impossible!”
The Seventh Forefather and Chu Kuangren’s other protectors were very shocked too. The amount of densely packed corpses on the scene were just too scary!
“Hahaha, that’s truly the work of my Black Heaven Sect’s Lead Disciple. Do you think some mere demonic cultivators can kill him that easily? In your dreams!” The Seventh Forefather laughed.
“Compared to my White Lotus’s Bachelor Sage, are you even his worthy match? ”
“As the Royal Princess’s fiancé, achieving something like this is expected.”
Both Honorable Qing Lan and the old lady were filled with pride too.
At this moment, among the h.e.l.lish battlefield landscape, Chu Kuangren suddenly did something out of the blue. A special type of Daoist Rhyme that surrounded him converted all of the demonic cultivator corpses into orbs of essences before it rushed towards him.
Gluttonous Devouring Technique, activate!
Extreme amounts of blood and flesh essences were all absorbed by Chu Kuangren.
With that, his energy rose continuously!
“What’s this weird technique he’s using?”
“He, he’s trying to break through into another cultivation realm?”
“My gosh. He has just gone through a long battle, yet he’s attempting to break through his cultivation level now? He’s even borrowing the power of a hundred demonic cultivators. That’s just too terrifying.”
The elders of the three demonic orthodoxies were taken aback by what they saw.
D*mn this!
‘As if killing so many of our underlings is not enough, how dare he use their corpses to break through his cultivation level? This is just too much!’
‘Who’s the real demonic cultivator here? Us or him?’
Why did they have a feeling that Chu Kuangren was more of a demonic cultivator than they were?
Within the mountain of corpses in a sea of blood, Lan Yu had already regained more than half of her spiritual power. Upon seeing Chu Kuangren absorbing the essences from the demonic cultivators, she automatically stood up to stand guard beside him.
By then, Chu Kuangren had utilized his Gluttonous Devouring Technique to its max, and like rivers branching into an ocean, countless...o...b.. of essences were continuously absorbed into his body.
If that technique had no restraints, the user’s karma would be tainted.
However, it would not happen in this situation.
Since the hundred thousand demonic cultivators were here to kill him, slaughtering them all in retaliation would not acc.u.mulate bad karma on Chu Kuangren’s part, nor would his fortune be affected as well.
Through the Avarice dimension, a large amount of blood and flesh essences flowed into Chu Kuangren’s limbs before it eventually arrived at his spiritual mound, where they were converted into pure spiritual power.
Chu Kuangren’s energy rose steadily, further reaching into the Battle Monarch realm!
A great surge of Daoist Rhyme rushed into the air and formed an extremely magnificent golden crown with swirling runes above Chu Kuangren’s head.
Then, one after another, pieces of mysterious pearls formed on the golden crown.
One, two, three…
Within a moment, seven pearls had appeared on the golden crown!
A Seven-Pearled Crown!
That was the pinnacle of the root foundation!
Numerous cultivators watched in admiration.
“No, it’s not enough. It’s far from being sufficient!” Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up as he accelerated the essence absorption from his surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, countless demonic cultivator corpses were decomposed and broken down before they disappeared from the ground.
Nothing was left from the hundred demonic cultivators that perished, not even their corpses.
However, after absorbing the hundred thousand demonic cultivators, the Seven-Pearled Crown atop Chu Kuangren’s head had no signs of progressing any further.
Chu Kuangren then took out an incomplete corpse that was headless but it was overflowed with a mysterious Daoist Rhyme.
That was the Black Light Sage’s corpse!
Using the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, he once again absorbed the sage’s corpse into his body and once again, the overbearing essence erupted within him!
Another pearl then appeared on the crown!
An Eight-Pearled Crown!
“Still not enough!” Again, Chu Kuangren pulled out the Sage Grade Elixir Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Once the Elixir Pill started to come into effect, Chu Kuangren’s body radiated with brilliance.
At this sight, the cultivators became dumbfounded.
“The pill that he took must be a Sage Grade Elixir Pill, isn’t it? My G.o.d, he just gulped it down like it was a normal snack! What a waste of priceless materials!”
“It’s like casting pearls before a swine! What a waste!”
Multiple cultivators were heartbroken by what Chu Kuangren did.
If an expert alchemist were to further refine the Sage Grade Elixir Pill, there would be a great chance that it would produce a pot of Sage Grade Elixir Pills.
Even if that was not the case, the item would greatly benefit an Honorable if they were to use it to refine their cultivation levels. It might even be possible for them to break through a few cultivation realms at one go.
‘Yet Chu Kuangren swallowed it just like that!’
‘Does he know how much medicine he has wasted?’
Chu Kuangren may not have thought so, yet the same could not be said for the others who could not help but sigh.
Then again, Chu Kuangren did not care about such trivial matters at that moment. With the help of the sage’s incomplete corpse and the Sage Grade Elixir Pill, a ninth pearl finally formed on the golden crown above him!
Supreme Foundation Level, Nine-Pearled Crown!
The light from the golden crown radiated brightly and enveloped Chu Kuangren, while the elders watched the scene from afar with extremely complicated expressions.
A Nine-Pearled Crown!
Ever since the past hundred and fifty thousand years, only a handful of people had managed to do this.
However, Chu Kuangren had accomplished it before their very eyes. Besides, he had already gathered the Supreme Foundation Levels, the Supreme Golden Core, Supreme Nascent Soul, Supreme Purple Palace Hall, and now that he had the crown, Chu Kuangren had all five of the Supreme Foundation Levels!
‘How terrifying would his combat abilities be?’
The crowd of elders did not dare to imagine.
On the other hand, the crowd of sky-prides felt even more depressed.
“Chu Kuangren first killed a hundred thousand demonic cultivators, then now he managed to secure the Supreme Foundation Levels! He’s just too remarkable! It’s amazing.”
“With someone like him in this era, where will the other sky-prides stand then?”
“How depressing!”
Chu Kuangren was officially at the Battle Monarch Realm!
He officially ‘crowned’ himself king among the mountain of corpses in the sea of blood!
“Retreat!”
The remaining demonic cultivator no longer had any intentions for the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse and they left the mountain range.
The Seventh Forefather and other protectors did not stop them either as they rushed towards Chu Kuangren.
Meanwhile, the golden crown above Chu Kuangren’s head had already disappeared by that time. However, his Five Supreme Foundation Levels continued to radiate brightly within his spiritual mound and it made the Daoist Rhyme circulate around as if he was a fairy about to take flight.
“Not bad, young lad!”
The Seventh Forefather came to Chu Kuangren’s side and could not help but praise.
