Chapter 1148 - The Soul Vanquishing Tribe, the Golden Divine Sword Ray Rune, the Female Ghost’s Powe

Outside Shenshu Palace, on a mountain peak, somewhere far away, a young man in black robes was manipulating something with his fingers as if controlling a puppet.

Suddenly, he stopped, and his expression shifted.

"This is bad!"

Whoosh…

A strand of sword qi shot across from a distance.

Upon seeing that, the black-robed young man quickly channeled his demonic qi and unleashed a palm attack. When it collided with the sword qi, the surrounding void rumbled, and the nearby mountains crumbled!

After the smoke and dust settled, the sleeves of the black-robed young man were torn open, with trickles of blood flowing down his arm. It was a very gruesome sight.

"D*mn you, Hundred Academy's Chief!"

"To think this attack can heavily injure me despite having traveled so far. His combat prowess is leagues ahead of mine," the young man in black robes mumbled.

Then, a creepy smile appeared on his face. "However, this game has only just begun. It's a game, which I, a Soul Vanquisher, will wholeheartedly participate in."

With that, he turned around and left.

Meanwhile, in the Shenshu Palace, Chu Kuangren looked into the distance and pondered. "Oh, so that was not enough to kill you, huh? It's alright. I don't mind playing along."

He had almost figured out who that person behind the scenes was. The technique of controlling souls with an invisible thread was recorded in the Scripture Sea, and it's the forte of the Demonic Dao's Soul Vanquisher Tribe.

'The person behind the scenes must be a Soul Vanquishing Tribe disciple.'

'The Yin Underworld Tribe disciple earlier must only be that person's puppet.'

Meanwhile, none of the other cultivators in the Shenshu Palace were aware of Chu Kuangren's exchange with the Soul Vanquisher. All they saw was Chu Kuangren killing the Yin Underworld Tribe disciple with a single attack, and all of them were in disbelief.

Was the disciple of the Yin Underworld Tribe that easy to kill?

No.

That person was a Heavenly Champion and a Ninth-grade Earthen Immortal. With his identity as the Heavenly Champion, he could even fight against Heavenly Immortals.

Yet, he was still killed with a single punch.

That proved how powerful Chu Kuangren was — he was far stronger compared to everyone present!

At that thought, some of the cultivators who sought to get the Samsara Emperor Seal immediately changed their minds.

Even a cultivator like Lil Zhurong was on high alert.

'This guy's combat strength is way beyond most of the Immortal Hall's Heavenly Champions. I'm afraid only the Young Imperial Commander can fight against him. It'll be unwise to fight him now,' Lil Zhurong thought.

Then, he looked at the Samsara Emperor Seal in Chu Kuangren's hand with dissatisfaction. "I better retreat for now and then think of a way to get that Emperor Seal back! "

With that, he immediately left.

Everyone was secretly shocked to see that.

"Lil Zhurong is very decisive it seems."

"That's right."

On the other hand, the Heavenly Champions from the Holy Judgement Sect and Three Clarity Daoist Sect looked at each other. They, too, left as they did not intend to stay anymore.

Watching them leave, Chu Kuangren smiled and shook his head. "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to leave now."

"What do you mean, Master?" Lan Yu was puzzled.

"We've already stepped into a trap," Chu Kuangren said calmly.

The moment he finished speaking, sounds of battle sounded from the outside.

Everyone quickly rushed, seemingly having thought of something.

They were all horrified to see what was before them.

Outside the Shenshu Palace, the whole compound had been surrounded and packed with countless dead souls. Lil Zhurong and the Heavenly Champions from the Holy Judgement Sect and Three Clarity Daoist Sect were now battling them.

However, there were just too many dead souls. Some of them were even on the same level as Heavenly Immortals.

Even with the three of them, surviving the battle would be hard.

"D*mn it. This is a trap!"

Lil Zhurong's expression was grim as he channeled his Zhurong Flame, setting ablaze the huge crowd of dead souls before him.

Alas, it was futile as a new crowd of dead souls soon appeared in front of him again.

Their numbers were seemingly endless!

"Here I was, wondering why there were no lost souls near Shenshu Palace. It turns out they were hidden away. I bet that energy fluctuation from the Shenshu Palace was their doing as well. It was to lead us to this place," the Holy Judgement Sect's Heavenly Champion said with a grim expression.

"Seeing that the lost souls can move in such an organized manner, there must be someone commanding them behind the scenes. As long as we kill that person, we'll surely break free from this situation!" the Heavenly Champion of the Three Clarity Daoist Sect said.

His gaze swept across the countless lost souls everywhere.

It did not take long before he found his target. It was a white-robed female ghost with long black hair and a cold expression. The rage qi emanating from her was the most potent and a level higher than the other dead souls.

"So it's this female ghost, huh?!"

"Hmph, take this! Golden Divine Sword Ray Rune!"

The Three Clarity Daoist Sect's Heavenly Champion took out a rune and crushed it. With that, a huge amount of Immortal's Core energy erupted into a golden divine sword ray that shot through the skies. Everywhere that sword ray passed, countless dead souls were torn apart.

The Three Clarity Daoist Sect was skilled in Runic Dao, and the Golden Divine Sword Ray Rune was one of the most powerful runes in the Three Clarity Daoist Sect.

It was so powerful that even a Heavenly Immortal could not block it.

That rune was a trump card for the Three Clarity Daoist Sect's Heavenly Champion.

"Die!" the Three Clarity Daoist Sect's Heavenly Champion uttered coldly toward the female ghost.

Under everyone's eyes, the Golden Divine Sword Ray shot toward the female ghost with ease.

A terrifying golden sword qi instantly locked onto her. The female ghost was just too small compared to the incoming sword qi attack.

However, at that moment, the female ghost took action.

She pointed out a finger.

It was a slender, fair, and delicate finger, but that frail-looking finger, which made anyone want to protect it, merely touched onto that golden divine sword ray. Then, to everyone's horror, that overpowering sword aura immediately disintegrated!

The golden sword qi dispersed into nothingness!

Silence!

Everyone was stunned, especially the Three Clarity Daoist Sect's Heavenly Champion.

He immediately gasped and felt a cold chill running down his spine.

'My Golden Divine Sword Ray Rune can kill even the Heavenly Immortals easily, yet that female ghost shattered it with a simple touch."

'This power…'

The Three Clarity Daoist Sect's Heavenly Champion became horrified as he thought of something.

"She's a… a True Immortal!"

Only True Immortals could do something like that.

However, before he could verify that fact, the female ghost moved her slender finger once more. She pointed toward him and tapped the air in front of her.

Within that instant, a silent horror engulfed him.

'I must escape!'

He wanted to escape!

Nevertheless, that strand of death qi had already landed on him and blasted his body apart. Following that… he lost consciousness.

From everyone else's point of view, that female ghost merely pointed her finger at the Three Clarity Daoist Sect's Heavenly Champion, and he exploded into a mist of blood right after that.

"Give me the Samsara Emperor Seal!" said the female ghost indifferently as an incredibly terrifying rage qi erupted from her.

A sudden chill enveloped everyone as if they had fallen into a frozen cellar.

"She's a True… True Immortal!"

"She's no doubt a True Immortal!"

Everyone gulped with fear and horror.

"It looks like this female ghost is the Ghost Ruler of this area," Chu Kuangren mumbled.

Even in a situation like that, he was still calm.

"Chief, what should we do?" Li Wangchen asked.

"Don't worry. Leave it to me," Chu Kuangren said calmly.

Although he said so, everyone still felt very anxious and afraid.

After all, before them was not an ordinary True Immortal but an extremely top-tier one.

No matter how strong Chu Kuangren was, how could he be her match?
