Chapter 66: Clash of the Supreme Daoist Physiques, It’s The Person That You Lost To
“I… Refuse!”
The Spirit Blood Child said with a chilling tone.
He could not afford to give up that Supreme Elixir because of how priceless the value was. ‘Besides, if I were to hand it to you whimsically per your requests, how disgraceful will I look?’
‘Everyone’s a sky-pride here, so it’s no big deal fighting over it.’
“I heard that you killed Lei Ao. Very good, though I would’ve killed him if you hadn’t the ability to do so,” the Spirit Blood Child replied coldly.
“Do you have a grudge with him now?” Chu Kuangren asked.
“Nope, but his title of Young Emperor is quite imposing and powerful. I think it’s quite a nice title to have, so I intended to snatch it for myself. ”
The two of them chatted casually like old friends who were reunited after a long time.
However, everyone in the crowd could feel the rise of a terrifying, overwhelming, and repressive aura that was emanating from the surrounding area. As two different yet invincible surges of Daoist Rhymes clashed violently against each other, both Chu Kuangren’s and the Spirit Blood Child’s auras started to increase rapidly.
Boom!!
The Spirit Blood Child went and made the first move!!
The ground where he stood erupted before his figure disappeared from thin air. The next moment he appeared was in the air above Chu Kuangren.
A palm with blood-colored irradiation was seen coming down from high above.
Within an instant, Chu Kuangren had the vague vision of a blood-filled ocean.
“Not bad indeed for a Spirit Blood Daoist Physique.” Chu Kuangren casually smiled. Then, the Descendant Self Sword appeared in his grasp before he let out a slash towards the skies.
A purple sword beam instantly burst forth from the void!
As the two different forces collided in mid-air, it set off an extremely violent airwave that struck against the void like a tide rippling outwards in all directions.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others had to step back at least ten feet.
“Such a strong force. Is this the power of the Spirit Blood Daoist Physique?”
“The clash between two Supreme Daoist Physique wielders is not something that an everyday person gets to witness. Hence, we must observe this battle properly.”
The few of them stood at a location not far away as they watched the battle.
Seeing that the palm attack was ineffective, the Spirit Blood Child distanced himself and stared at Chu Kuangren. “How did you know about the Spirit Blood Daoist Physique”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
With the Eye of Revelation, was there any information that he did not know about?
However, the Spirit Blood Child did not expect Chu Kuangren to have such an ability. All he could assume was that Chu Kuangren had accidentally allowed his aura to leak out sometime or the other.
If his opponent had vast amounts of knowledge, being able to recognize the Spirit Blood Daoist Physique was no big surprise.
“Since you already know, then I don’t have to bother hiding it. Spirit Blood Daoist Physique, Blood Ocean Transformation, activate!”
In an instant, large amounts of Daoist Rhymes surged forth behind the Spirit Blood Child and a magnificent image construct of a blood ocean appeared from the void.
The tides of the vast blood ocean rolled violently.
Blood Ocean Transformation!
With the help provided by that Transformation, the Spirit Blood Child’s strength skyrocketed.
“Sword of The Heavens!” Following suit, Chu Kuangren also activated his Daoist Physique Transformation.
Lines of runes swirled above his head as the Sword of The Heavens materialized from the void.
“Very well, let us find out once and for all who’s the strongest! Your Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart or my Spirit Blood Daoist Physique!” the Spirit Blood Child roared while his hand grasped into the void, gathering great amounts of Daoist Rhymes.
A large terrifying blood-colored palm was immediately blasted towards Chu Kuangren!
That horrifying level of energy was so great that it rumbled the ground’s surface.
“Colossal Grand Blood Palm!”
Facing the incoming blood-colored palm which erupted through the void, Chu Kuangren’s gaze slightly narrowed as he swung the Self Descendant Sword fiercely.
The purple sword beam then shone through and covered the sky!
Due to the two opposing forces and the two different types of Daoist Rhyme, which boomed and clashed against one another, the void and surrounding area shook and trembled.
The surging currents from the blast were converted into immeasurable forces of impact!
Under the force of that impact, the Blood Ocean Transformation behind the Spirit Blood Child started to fluctuate aggressively and he was blown hundreds of feet away!
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren stood in place, unmoved, with his fluttering white robes and his swirling black hair. Holding the Descendant Self Sword, he looked like a dark fairy who had descended into the world that stood firmly in his place.
“How can this be!”
The Spirit Blood Child’s pupils shrank as he uttered in disbelief.
He was similarly a Supreme Daoist Physique wielder who had the same Paradise Realm cultivation level as him and had even cultivated the Sage Techniques. Even if his opponent was the Young Emperor Lei Ao, he still had the confidence to fight and defeat him!
However, why was he pushed back after clashing just once with Chu Kuangren?
His opponent was just too strong!
“Both of us possess the Supreme Daoist Physique, yet why is there such a big difference?” Puzzled, the Spirit Blood Child’s expression changed.
However, Chu Kuangren replied to him indifferently when he heard those words. “You did not lose in terms of Daoist Physiques, but to the person who has it instead! You lost to me, Chu Kuangren!”
“No, no, it’s still too early to determine who’s the winner!” The Spirit Blood Child’s expression turned grim as the spiritual power within him rose madly.
A surge of Daoist Rhymes then soared into the air, materializing into a large blood-colored bridge that landed on the blood ocean behind the Spirit Blood Child.
A sudden intent of death burst forth!
“Daoist Physique Transformation, Bridge of Dead Spirits!”
“Do you think that’s all I got? There’s still more!”
“Sage Technique, Great Yellow Springs[1] Technique!”
The Spirit Blood Child let out a light growl. After that, an incredible surge of Daoist Rhymes arose and materialized into a great muddy river which gushed forth with a terrifying impact.
It was like the underworld’s Yellow Springs in ancient legends!
With the advantages provided by both Transformations, that attack from the Spirit Blood Child was strengthened to an incomparable level. The violent waves of the Great Yellow Springs[2] rumbled and gushed through the void. It had a killing intent that could not help but make people shudder.
“You do indeed have the strength to kill Lei Ao.”
Chu Kuangren glanced at the water that was pouring down from the Yellow Springs and laughed.
Following that, the Descendant Self Sword in his hand deflected slightly. “Yet, it’s a pity that you’re still leagues away from being able to kill me.”
“Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!”
With a single slash, a purple sword ray burst forth!
The waters of the Yellow Springs were instantly split open in half by that single slash, and the separated waters violently charged towards the ground.
However, once that unstoppable sword ray split open the Yellow Springs, it then landed on the Spirit Blood Child. A blood-colored light suddenly flashed by.
The attack instantly sent the Spirit Blood Child flying while blood spurted wildly from his injuries. His two Transformations were consequently shattered and the horrifyingly strong Daoist Rhyme instantly dispersed.
Having been heavily wounded from that single slash, the Spirit Blood Child had a horrified look on his face.
He had mustered his full strength, yet he still could not take a single blow from his opponent!
If not for the defensive items on him that dissipated most of the sword Qi, that single slash could have killed him!
‘What kind of monstrous strength is this?’
“Retreat!”
The Spirit Blood Child dared not stay for long as he turned into a blood-colored light and rushed towards a distance somewhere. Right then, Chu Kuangren had intended to use his sword intent to block his opponent’s escape.
‘Since he already made a move, then I shall not hold anything back!’
Due to the fact that Chu Kuangren’s opponent was a Supreme Daoist Physique wielder, he might bring him a lot of trouble if he were to grow in the future. So, killing the Spirit Blood Child on the spot seemed to be the right choice to make.
However, just when the Nine Heaven Sword Prison Transformation could be fully deployed, a terrifyingly horrible surge of spiritual energy burst forth from the Spirit Blood Child’s body. Daoist Rhymes could be seen emanating from the blood-colored cinnabar jewel on his forehead which was headed towards Chu Kuangren.
The single blow was so terrifying that even he had to deal with it in caution.
“This is probably an attack on the Honorable Realm’s level.”
“Must be something that elders of the Yasha tribe gave him.”
Chu Kuangren’s gaze narrowed as he deployed all his three Daoist Physique Transformations. Charging the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique until its limit, he then let out that attack towards that direction.
In an instant, the skies and land around him rumbled while black-colored cracks started to appear in the void as if it was on the brink of shattering.
Fortunately, the structure of the Luminous Moon Secret Realm was strong enough to absorb the blow, for it would start to crumble with that single attack.
That kind of power was enough to kill all the sky-prides within the secret realm.
“He escaped quite quickly, not bad.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He did not regret letting his opponent escape. After all, if he was able to defeat him once, then naturally that opponent would forever be beneath his feet.
“That Spirit Blood Child’s strength is quite extraordinary. I can’t believe he managed to withstand a few blows from Elder Senior Brother. He’s truly a Supreme Daoist Physique wielder indeed.”
“I agree, he’s a bit stronger than that Lei Ao.”
Nangong Huang and the others said.
In their eyes, any sky-prides who could hold on and withstand a few attacks from Chu Kuangren were already on a level higher compared to Lei Ao.
Who knew what the sky-prides around the world would think if they knew about what had happened.
‘All our hard work spent cultivating and refining our techniques was just to withstand a few more blows?’
