Chapter 118: Phantom Light Strike And Human Mountain Stamp Combined, A Palm Technique For Each Person
“I was here first. Let me be the first to fight him!”
Gu Changge said as he stared coldly at Lin Batian and the other cultivators.
However, Ao Chang replied calmly, “I’ve said it before, he’s my prey and shall only be mine to defeat. All of you should get behind me now.”
“Oh, could it be that we are destined to fight each other before we can even fight Chu Kuangren?” Yuanhong said.
They were all fixated on being the first to defeat Chu Kuangren and none of them was willing to step aside.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was observing their quarrels from the side. He merely exposed a mischievously smile. “Well, I have a solution that will make everyone here happy.”
The crowd instantly shifted their gazes onto Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren continued, “It’s simple. I’ll fight all of you at once.”
Upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s proposal, Ao Chang’s eye immediately burned with anger.
“Chu Kuangren, who would’ve thought that you’d still be so arrogant even after three years? However, this is no longer the time where you can do as you wish. You’re outdated now!”
Lin Batian snapped coldly.
Then, with his hands, he channeled his spiritual energies into a colorful array of flames and it eventually transformed into a fearsome fiery beast that charged towards Chu Kuangren.
Compared to three years ago, Lin Batian had familiarized himself with the art of manipulating the Sacred Flames. With the aid of the Primordial Emperor’s Essence, his insight into the Daoist arts had expanded vastly, and his Sacred Flames techniques now far surpassed that of three years ago.
Even an Honourable might not be able to defend themselves against such an attack.
Chu Kuangren looked indifferent against the sudden incoming attack. However, his entire body began to blur before it vanished into empty space.
It was as if he had transformed into a ray of light. He had vanished on the spot with such swiftness that no one could even catch a glimpse of where he went.
“What technique is that?”
“Judging from his Daoist Rhymes… It must be a Sage Ruler Technique!”
Lin Batian and the other cultivators were appalled.
Chu Kuangren had never displayed such a skill three years ago!
Sage Ruler Technique, Phantom Light Strike!
Lin Batian channeled all the spiritual energy he could to locate Chu Kuangren, only to be surprised by a calm whisper behind his ears.
“After three years, is that all you’ve progressed?”
He was behind him!
Alert, Lin Batian immediately hurled a palm backward.
However, he was one step too late. Before he could land a strike, Chu Kuangren had already landed a slap onto Lin Batian’s face.
From the crowd’s perspective, the once gentle, delicate palm of Chu Kuangren now almost resembled an ancient mountain — solid and dense.
Boom!
Once Chu Kuangren’s palm landed on Lin Batian’s face, Lin Batian’s Sacred Flames were immediately extinguished and he was sent flying thousands of feet outward.
Sage Ruler Technique, Human Mountain Stamp!
Judging by Chu Kuangren’s current cultivation level, he had mastered this Sage Ruler Technique to the extent where he could summon the force of a holy mountain with the mere lift of his fingers.
“So strong!” Gu Changge’s eyes widened. He then proceeded to channel the yellow spiritual energies around him to mobilize his Dragon Blood Physique to its limit.
When he let out a punch towards Chu Kuangren, a thunderous roar shook throughout the firmament.
“Dragon Slaughter Fist!”
An enormous conjuration of a golden dragon charged towards Chu Kuangren, ready to devour him.
His terrifying aura had caused a massive disruption between the realms!
“It’s this technique again. Don’t you have anything new to show?” Chu Kuangren shook his head and gently tapped the oncoming attack with his right hand.
Just like that, the spiritual energy and Daoist Rhymes that created the once-mighty dragon were instantly disintegrated!
Gu Changge was in utter disbelief.
He had long trained the Dragon Slaughter Fist Technique to its completed level, and as a Sage Technique, its power was borderless. With his current cultivation level, his attack was possibly capable of killing an Honourable!
However, all it took for Chu Kuangren was one light tap to crush the attack!
How was it logical?!
As to having something new to show…
Gu Changge was cursing at Chu Kuangren. There were only so many Sage Techniques one could acquire anyway!
After disintegrating the dragon, Chu Kuangren’s figure began to blur before he manifested into a ray of light. Almost instantaneously, he teleported in front of Gu Changge before the latter could even realize.
That was too fast!
Such speed did not make any sense at all!
Chu Kuangren gently lifted his palms and once again channeled the Human Mountain Force through his delicate palm!
Gu Changge was struck on his chest which then instantly shattered his defensive spiritual energy and he could feel his entire chest bending inwards. Like a human cannonball, Gu Changge was sent flying backward before he crashed into a mountain in a distance.
“That’s the second one now,” Chu Kuangren said calmly. Next, his focus fell on Yuanhong of the Dharma Sect.
Yuanhong was almost caught off guard but he immediately activated his spiritual energy and Daoist Rhymes. He began gliding across the air, his speed swift enough to create a typhoon around him.
At the same time, he mobilized another offensive technique that utilized a multitude of natural elements and its power within.
“Chu Kuangren, it’s time to lose now!”
Yuanhong sent the attack towards Chu Kuangren while he glided around.
When Yuanhong sent out his strike, the traces of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire elements in his palm exploded upon. Yet again, all Chu Kuangren had to do was tap it light and it reduced Yuanhong’s attacks into nothingness.
“How is this bastard so strong?!”
Yuanhong was absolutely appalled.
He began to speed up as he glided across the air around Chu Kuangren.
“What you’re displaying here is the Firmament Windrun Technique, named after the speed that was granted to the cultivator who used it. Looks like your energy is pretty decent.”
Chu Kuangren laughed and said.
The look on Yuanhong’s face shifted. He now recalled that Chu Kuangren had previously paid the Dharma Sect. During a visit, where he gained insights into Eight Thousand Arts of the Stele Forest and learned all Honorable and Sage Techniques within a single day. It was an unprecedented occurrence.
Chu Kuangren had already gained a thorough understanding of every technique that Yuanhong displayed!
Just when Yuanhong recalled the past from his memories, a ray of light flashed across him. It was Chu Kuangren who had managed to catch up to him in the blink of an eye.
“Your speed is decent. Unfortunately, are you able to outrun the speed of light?”
Phantom Light Strike, Phantom Light Strike…
As its name suggested, this Sage Ruler Technique granted a dexterous speed that was as fast as the speed of light. Just how many more things in this world could be faster than that?
Before Yuanhong could even recover from his shock, Chu Kuangren’s palm was already inching closer towards him. Then, with a slap on his face, he was also sent flying like Gu Changge and Lin Batian.
“It’s your turn now,” Chu Kuangren looked at Ao Chang and said.
“Damn it! Shield of the Mountain God!”
Shocked, Ao Chang immediately activated another Sage Ruler Technique. His spiritual energies formed a dense barrier before him as his Daoist Rhymes manifested itself into a gigantic mountain.
It was an excellent defensive technique!
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and mobilized the spiritual energies within his body before the Five Supreme Foundation Levels within the spiritual mound let out a burst of holy light.
With the force of a Human Mountain, Chu Kuangren immediately shattered the gigantic mountain before him into pieces, and when its violent impact landed onto Ao Chang, he was sent flying out the compound as well.
Standing aside, Wuchen Zi watched in horror.
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren appeared before him in a flash of light. He then smiled and said, “Brother Wuchen, you should fly with them too.”
With the stroke of his palm, Chu Kuangren easily sent Wuchen Zi flying out of the arena as well.
The disciples of Black Heaven Sect were completely dumbfounded at what they had witnessed.
It was too incomprehensible!
After all, Gu Changge, Ao Chang, Lin Batian, Yuanhong, and Wuchen Zi were considered the Young Emperors of this generation!
While these cultivators would normally dominate over most peers of their generation with ease, Chu Kuangren saw these matches with them as child’s play.
A palm for each person!
“Is this really our Elder Senior Brother?”
“He’s too strong!”
“My God, is this our Elder Senior Brother? I think I’ve fallen in love now!”
Upon witnessing Chu Kuangren’s power, the newly-recruited disciples were completely awestruck and had gained the utmost admiration for Chu Kuangren.
