Chapter 470: One Palm, One Fist, One Finger, One Sword, Destroying Four Great Orthodoxies
The clouds were thick as the sun cast a warm blanket over the horizon.
Such pleasant weather was a wonderful day to commit murder!
As Chu Kuangren stood on a peak, his body emitted a surge of bright Buddhist Light that manifested as a thousand-meter tall ancient Buddha, shaking the realm.
Chu Kuangren activated his spiritual thoughts and cast them over all of Firmament Star.
He soon locked onto the Acheron Manor’s position.
The giant ancient Buddha unleashed a palm technique.
Unexpectedly, the palm technique disappeared as soon as it was released into the air.
Just when the observers were scratching their heads, they noticed a surge of devastating energy suddenly appeared above the Acheron Manor, which was millions of kilometers away!
It was the same form of energy as that of the Tathagata Rebirth Mantra!
They rushed their spiritual thoughts over to the Acheron Manor, only to see a magnificent Buddhist Light appearing in the sky. At the same time, an enormous golden palm descended.
“Oh f*ck! Is that not Chu Kuangren’s technique?”
“Isn’t he in the Black Heaven Sect?!”
“Oh heavens, he attacked the Acheron Manor from millions of kilometers away. How did he do it?”
The observers were terrified.
It was frightening.
It was extremely frightening.
Any orthodoxy would fear such a display of power.
Just imagine a person sitting peacefully at home when a giant palm descended from the sky. They would not even know where their enemy was, so how could they put up a fight?!
The Sages of Acheron Manor rushed into the open and panicked at the sight of the falling palm.
“Activate the mega formation!”
The Acheron Manor Lord screamed.
Lines of runes appeared above the Acheron Manor and formed into a dark forcefield that covered the Acheron Manor like an inverted bowl.
With a bang, the giant palm made contact with the forcefield.
The ground within a ten thousand kilometer radius shook violently.
Fissures formed on the surface, which spread outwards from the Acheron Manor.
Caught in the impact, many of the Acheron Manor’s disciples spat out mouthfuls of blood as they rebounded backward and stared into the giant palm in terror.
To them, such power could destroy the whole world!
Crack, crack…
At that moment, the defensive forcefield that was cast over the Acheron Manor began to crack.
The Acheron Manor Lord became mortified.
“It’s… It’s breaking!”
“So soon?!”
With the sound of an explosion, the forcefield shattered into pieces!
The Acheron Manor Lord and his Sages could just not just sit by and die. Hence, they channeled all the energies they could muster to unleash Acheron Manor’s strongest Emperor Technique.
“Eye of Acheron!”
Many great demonic eyes instantly filled the void.
The eyes each ejected their demonic ray towards the approaching giant palm.
Alas, it was only capable of delaying the giant palm’s momentum ever so slightly, and it was impossible to disintegrate the attack.
“Chu Kuangren! We’ll never forgive you even in our deaths!”
The Acheron Manor Lord shrieked in desperation.
However, it was no use.
The giant golden palm finally landed on the Acheron Manor, destroying countless palaces and towers within an instance. The lands in a hundred-kilometer radius were all flattened as well!
The debris that resulted from the attack swept outward like the tide, causing widespread destruction to the environment more than ten thousand kilometers away!
Mountain ranges crumbled while the great rivers switched their courses…
The Sages of Acheron Manor were crushed to their deaths. There was no chance for any of their disciples to survive an attack of such scale either.
A single palm descended, and the Acheron Manor was… destroyed!
The observers were so shocked that they were lost for words.
Although some of them had witnessed Chu Kuangren destroying the Ancient Battlefield, they were still similarly shocked to witness it for a second time.
For a moment, they doubted if Chu Kuangren had already ascended into an Emperor!
How would a Sage get such a level of power?!
In the Black Heaven Sect.
Chu Kuangren’s Buddhist Light began to fade.
He was accompanied by the presence of a beautiful lady and surrounded by pristine flora and fauna. Yet, a million kilometers away, his palm had created an apocalyptic scene!
The contrast sure made many s.h.i.+vered in fear.
“Come, Lan Yu. Let’s flip another one.”
Chu Kuangren said.
Lan Yu shuffled the wooden plaques around, almost as if she was thinking which orthodoxy would be best to destroy next.
The great ones gulped.
Lan Yu’s seemingly harmless choice would indicate the destruction of another orthodoxy. In her hands was the fate of countless cultivators.
“This one.”
Lan Yu flipped another wooden plaque.
“Oh, the Sacred Palace of Death. So be it then.”
…
At the Sacred Palace of Death.
The Sacred Palace of Death Lord rushed out of the grand hall as he screamed frantically, “Quick, activate the defensive mega formation! Get all the disciples into the sarcophagus!”
A grey forcefield enshrouded the sacred palace.
Then, a giant mountain rose from the earth. Rather than calling it a mountain, it was actually a gigantic sarcophagus!
The sarcophagus was inscribed with countless runes on its surfaces. The disciples puzzledly ran into the sarcophagus, oblivious to what was happening around them.
However, they knew it was an issue of grave concern.
The sarcophagus would only reveal itself when the Sacred Palace of Death’s entire existence was being threatened.
“Look. What’s that?!”
One of the disciples said in a panic.
The s.p.a.ce above the sacred palace twisted before an enormous fist descended from above! The fist spanned several hundred meters in length and was burning with a raging black fire!
Its unbounded energy shook the entire realm!
“Quick, into the sarcophagus!” The Sacred Palace’s Lord yelled.
Then, he quickly retreated into the shelter as well.
The dark fist sign crashed into the forcefield, breaking it within the blink of an eye before it crashed into the giant sarcophagus.
In response, a burst of morbid Daoist Rhymes erupted from the sarcophagus but could not overcome the fist qi’s power. The sarcophagus’s Daoist Rhymes were continuously destroyed, and the impact of the energies began affecting those within the shelter.
The Sacred Palace’s disciples exploded into misty air while the Sages’ bodies crumbled from within, filling the sarcophagus with the painful wails.
Then, with a bang, the entire sarcophagus exploded.
The morbid Daoist Rhymes and fist qi’s colliding energy formed an enormous energy cyclone that devoured all of the remaining cultivators in its core.
With that, the Sacred Palace of Death was… destroyed!
On the mountain peak of the Black Heaven Sect.
“Next one, Lan Yu.”
“Alright… It’s the Ethereal Rapture!”
“Okay.”
In the Ethereal Rapture.
The Sect Leader rushed out as he screamed frantically, “All of the disciples, vacate this area immediately! Run as far as you can!”
“Sect Leader, what’s going on?!”
One of the disciples asked in shock.
“Leave now!”
The Ethereal Rapture Sect Leader screamed desperately.
Alas, it was too late.
A formidable finger strength was already descending from above!
The finger strength was infused with a peculiar form of energy that was capable of questioning one’s Daoist core. As its target, each and every cultivator of the Ethereal Rapture froze.
Then, the finger strength erupted, and its force engulfed the entire Ethereal Rapture.
The Ethereal Rapture was… destroyed!
“Next, Bottomless Chasm.”
Lan Yu flipped another wooden plaque.
“Since the Bottomless Chasm is in the deep sea, it looks like we need to bring the sword in this time.”
Chu Kuangren murmured.
After that, he withdrew his Self Descendant Sword, where a frightening purple sword ray unfolded, eclipsing the sun before it vanished into thin air.
In the next moment.
The sword ray manifested several million kilometers away above the ocean’s surface.
The entire ocean trembled violently, and when the boundless sword ray slashed downwards, the sea split in half!
A single sword technique was enough to divide the ocean into two!
The sword ray penetrated straight into the ocean floor and arrived at a complex of majestic palaces. Meanwhile, the Great Chasm Dwellers and several other strong cultivators had long expected the attack.
They resorted to all forms of techniques in an attempt to defeat the incoming sword ray.
However, as soon as the sword ray imploded, it was divided into several million tiny sword rays that swept through the entire Bottomless Chasm like a ferocious thunderstorm. The Bottomless Chasm, a majestic orthodoxy with a hundred thousand years of history, instantly crumbled into pieces!
Only a few from the Bottomless Chasm managed to survive in the aftermath.
With that, the majestic palaces of the Bottomless Chasm were reduced to underwater ruins.
One palm, one fist, one finger, one sword!
Four formidable orthodoxies destroyed!
Those who managed to witness the entire process were utterly speechless. It was all just too much to take in.
