Chapter 454: Destroying Craggy Ocean Tower, Five More To Go, A Chest of Soul Orbs
The Ferocious Roar bore no effect on Chu Kuangren.
This stunned the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord and Sages. After all, the Ferocious Roar was a technique that directly targeted one’s state of mind. Even a Sage Ruler would typically crumble under this technique.
They considered the Ferocious Roar to be their biggest countermeasure against Chu Kuangren. Yet, they had never imagined that it would be utterly futile against him!
Moreover, the Ferocious Roar was a technique that consumed a large amount of soul energy to use. Hence, the Scarlet Panther was only capable of using it once each day.
“Now that you’ve exhausted all your tricks, it’s time to show you mine.”
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
He then peered upon the sky. “Looks like it’s almost done now.”
Although the cultivators did not understand what Chu Kuangren meant, they felt uneasy enough to follow Chu Kuangren’s gaze toward the sky.
What they saw were lines of runic symbols intersecting with one another, converging to form an enormous singular rune!
The giant rune was large enough to cast a huge shadow over the mountain!
The cultivators could sense an inexplicably peculiar energy on the rune. It was as if the surrounding spiritual powers had been sucked dry.
“Fall!” Chu Kuangren lightly grunted.
In a split second, the giant rune descended from the sky as the cultivators desperately defended themselves with their spiritual powers.
When the giant rune landed upon the cultivators, they did not sustain any form of injury, which made them perplexed, to say the least.
However, they soon sensed that something was wrong.
The cultivators felt that the space around them had been sealed by a peculiar form of energy and turned into a large quagmire that rendered them difficult to even move their fingers.
“This is a spatial rune!”
“Spatial rune, the most complex of all runes?!”
“How did he create a spatial rune so powerful that it can even lock Sages in their places? How did his runic creation abilities get to this level?!”
The Sages were frightened.
The runic shackle was so powerful that even the Scarlet Panther found it difficult to move.
“I’ve exhausted much of my spiritual thoughts to conjure such a rune.” Chu Kuangren chuckled. He then lifted his hands before the runic swords covered the entire firmament once again.
Surges of runic aura emanated.
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord mustered his entire spiritual power reserve to free himself from the spatial rune’s shackle. Alas, the rune’s power was too strong for him to overcome.
Even a Sage Ruler would take more than an hour to free themselves, which was more than enough time for Chu Kuangren to flip the Craggy Ocean Tower upside down.
“Chu Kuangren, stop it! Stop it right now!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord screamed.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren did not give a d*mn.
He just slammed his hand to the ground, and suddenly, the countless runic swords fell from the sky like a meteor shower, raining over the entire Craggy Ocean Tower.
Explosions rang incessantly throughout the region.
Chu Kuangren paid close attention to the mountain peak where the Scarlet Panther and the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord was at. He ensured that half of his runic swords would fall onto them.
The terrifying runic energies swept across the region and shook the void.
Even the great ones, who were secretly observing, could feel their hearts trembling.
Never had they witnessed a cultivator display such a level of runic Dao. Chu Kuangren’s expertise could be compared to that of even the Rune King!
When the devastating runic storm blew over, the Craggy Ocean Tower was nothing but a wasteland. What was left were the countless craters that formed after the calamity.
Very few were left standing on the battlefield.
With broken limbs and fleshes scattered across the battlefield, the orthodoxy now looked like a living hell.
The air was filled with the pungent odor of blood.
At the mountain peak.
The Craggy Ocean Tower’s Sages had all perished in the attack. Even their corpses were shredded like paper in the face of that runic explosion.
The Scarlet Panther had vanished too.
Despite being a Sage Ruler, the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord was heavily wounded and in a mess. He was overwhelmed by despair as he looked across the battlefield and saw countless disciples who were either dead or wailing in pain.
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord turned to Chu Kuangren and shrieked, “Chu Kuangren! Your behavior is no different than the followers of demonic Dao! A vile person like you shall one day suffer the wrath of the heavens! Curse you! May you die a horrible death!”
Chu Kuangren was indifferent to the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord’s angry remarks.
“Three years ago, if I hadn’t used the heavenly tribulation to rid the millions of cultivators, do you think the Black Heaven Sect’s fate would be better than the current Craggy Ocean Tower’s?”
“No one can escape the consequences of their wrongful actions, and the same law that governs the ordinary lay people shall apply to the Sages as well!”
Chu Kuangren said calmly as he conjured a pair of runic swords. “The Craggy Ocean Tower only has itself to blame for what happens today!”
“Besides, I’ve given you a chance. I’ve relayed a message to allow those who don’t wish to die to leave the orthodoxy. Yet, you’ve gathered all of them in this battle against me.”
“It is your stupidity that has caused the death of all your disciples!”
Chu Kuangren’s every word was like a knife that cut deeply into the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord’s heart, and his face turned pale.
It was as if killing his enemy was not enough, and he wanted them to die with remorse!
“Alright, be sure to repent for what you did to your disciples in the afterlife.” As soon as Chu Kuangren said that, he waved his hand gently.
The pair of runic swords launched forward.
One of them pierced through the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord’s heart, the other sliced through his neck. Just like that, the only Sage Ruler of the orthodoxy had fallen!
Not only that but a remarkable orthodoxy had been wiped out from the timeline!
It was difficult for the great ones to comprehend that an orthodoxy that hailed from millennia ago had just been eradicated before their eyes.
They then turned their gaze upon Chu Kuangren, whose attire was still in pristine condition amongst the sea of corpses. At that moment, an overpowering sense of fear washed over them.
A remarkable orthodoxy was destroyed just at the whims of a single person!
After three years, Chu Kuangren had reappeared in this world. Even though he was under the Heavenly Punishment Seal, his combat strengths were even more terrifying than ever!
“Five more to go…”
Chu Kuangren muttered. Although he was not loud, it was clear enough for everyone to hear.
They knew what Chu Kuangren was referring to. It could only be the five other orthodoxies!
The great ones of the Acheron Manor, Heavenly Golden Imperial Palace, Bottomless Chasm, Sacred Palace of Death, and Ethereal Rapture shuddered.
The Craggy Ocean Tower was now gone.
What about them, then?
Could they survive what was about to come?!
No one knew the answer to that question. However, they no longer dared underestimate Chu Kuangren despite the presence of his Heavenly Punishment Seal. They needed to unite all their powers against this common enemy.
After destroying the Craggy Ocean Tower, Chu Kuangren looted the battlefield.
He came before the largest treasure trove of the orthodoxy and absorbed all of its resources into his Yin and Yang Ring.
Chu Kuangren noticed a treasure chest in the trove.
The chest was filled with a bunch of peculiar orbs. Each of them was seething with the mythical energy wave of a soul entity.
“These are… Soul Orbs!” Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up at the sight of these objects.
The Soul Orb was the secret behind the Craggy Ocean Tower cultivators’ ability to summon their Craggy Ocean Bestial Souls. Every cultivator who had successfully refined a Soul Orb could obtain a bestial soul as their combat companion.
There were bestial souls of varying strengths. However, such a technique was rarely practiced in this world, so this chest of Soul Orbs was an invaluable resource. It could even be considered the foundations to the Craggy Ocean Tower’s formidable power.
“Let’s bring this chest back so that Nangong Huang and the rest can each pick one for their own. There’s nothing bad about having a new pet to rear.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled happily.
