1385 What Makes Chu Kuangren Worthy Then? They Still Have Their King

An incredible surge of Celestial Demon qi erupted from the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist's body. As it spread across the land, everything shook!

His Celestial Demon qi was almost as powerful as that of Jue Wushen!

It was like a gigantic black hole that sought to engulf everything around it!

Jue Wushen's gaze gradually became stern. "Is this your Celestial Demon Physique? It does seem formidable!"

"Behold, Jue Wushen! This is the true Celestial Demon Physique. It's on a whole different level compared to your Pseudo Celestial Demon Physique."

"I bet you've just awakened your Celestial Demon Physique, right? And seeing that you've been targeting the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe, I suppose it's an attempt to stimulate and awaken your Celestial Demon Physique, right? You're using our Celestial Demon Hearts to awaken your Celestial Demon Physique!" Jue Wushen said coldly.

He could sense a powerful and dense rage within the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist's Celestial Demon qi.

That rage qi was from every Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivator that the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist had killed!

"Ha! You guessed it right. I used to think I could never awaken my Celestial Demon Physique until you guys started appearing in this world. The Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe you belong to shall provide enough Celestial Demon Hearts to me. I even managed to obtain an Innate Celestial Demon Heart on the Heavenly Dao Spire's final floor!"

The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist laughed. He felt like everyone had existed just to pave the way for his greatness.

After all, the Chaos Celestial Demon Physique was incredibly difficult to awaken.

The higher the quality of the Celestial Demon Physique, the more true that statement was.

The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist had discovered a long time ago that he possessed a Celestial Demon Physique, but he just had not been able to awaken it.

However, the appearance of the Celestial Demon Tribe gave him hope.

He found a secret technique meant for awakening Immortal Physiques. That technique involved using the blood essence from hosts of the same physique to stimulate the awakening process. That was the main reason why he had been targeting the Celestial Demon Tribe all this time. Later, he obtained an Innate Celestial Demon Heart on the Heavenly Dao Spire's final floor, which enabled him to cultivate that secret technique to the maximum effect and awaken his Celestial Demon Physique in one go!

On top of all the other Opportunities of Fortune he got in the Heavenly Dao Spire, he managed to increase his power and talents. Now, he was close to the level of a Peerless Prodigy!

"Jue Wushen, hand over the Celestial Demon Crown and make me your king! If you do as I say, I shall allow everyone here to live!" the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist said arrogantly.

Jue Wushen snickered upon hearing that. "Only one person is worthy of becoming our king, and someone like you will never be worthy of leading us!"

The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist's gaze narrowed when he heard that. "If I'm not worthy, what makes Chu Kuangren worthy?!"

He had investigated the Celestial Demon Tribe thoroughly and knew that Chu Kuangren would be their king in the future.

That was what made him incredibly jealous.

Every cultivator of the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe possessed the Celestial Demon Physique. Although it was the Pseudo Celestial Demon Physique, which was inferior to their real counterparts, they had made up for the lack of quality with quantity. When all those cultivators became stronger in the future, they would surely be a force to be reckoned with. With enough time, they might even become as powerful as the two Immortal Halls, who were tyrants reigning supreme throughout the universe!

That was the reason why Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist wanted to become the Celestial Demon King.

If he could gain control over such a group of powerful cultivators, the weight of his influence within the Immortal Hall would surely increase.

He could even go against the East Sovereign Divine Daoist, who was known as the most powerful among the Nine Houses!

"Chu Kuangren is a hundred times more worthy than you are!"

Although Chu Kuangren had not officially defeated him, Jue Wushen was well aware of his accomplishments and feats.

Besides, Chu Kuangren was the Celestial Demon King whom Xu Wu was personally anointed.

Unlike the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist, who mercilessly killed many Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivators just to awaken his Celestial Demon Physique, Chu Kuangren was many times more suitable to be the Celestial Demon King.

"If that's the case, I shall kill you now and take the Celestial Demon Crown for myself. After this, I will defeat Chu Kuangren before the eyes of every Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivator out there!" the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist said coldly.

Then, his body began to emit Celestial Demon qi akin to a black hole, seeking to devour everything in its path!

Jue Wushen's gaze narrowed as he unleashed his Celestial Demon qi too.

The two different Celestial Demon qi collided with each other.

On one side, it was a void that could destroy everything, while on the other was a black hole that could engulf anything!

Both were extremely terrifying!

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions occurred, and the surrounding terrain that was caught up in the collision of the two energies began to crumble.

"This is bad. We must get back further!"

"Their power is simply horrifying!"

The scene shocked many sky-prides, and all of them quickly moved back!

A cold glint flashed in the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist's eyes. He raised his hand to channel his Celestial Demon qi, which formed a small black hole that was launched toward Jue Wushen.

"Hmph! Silent Void Pierce!"

Jue Wushen snorted as he pointed his finger forward to unleash a destructive attack that annihilated everything in its path!

However, Jue Wushen was forced back as the two attacks clashed.

"His Celestial Demon qi is stronger than mine!" Jue Wushen's gaze narrowed.

"Do you understand now, Jue Wushen? This is the true power of the real Celestial Demon Physique. There's no way a Pseudo Celestial Demon Physique host like you can ever reach my level!" The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist laughed.

"Oh, is that so?"

Jue Wushen stepped forth, releasing an even more powerful Celestial Demon qi from his body. "Void Annihilation!!"

His Celestial Demon qi filled the whole area as countless Daoist patterns intertwined. In the void, a gigantic grinding disc formed and was unleashed toward its opponent with destructive might!

Instead of dodging, the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist took that attack directly!

Boom!

This time, the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist was forced back instead.

"I can't believe you've cultivated your Pseudo Celestial Demon Physique to such an extent. It's almost as powerful as the real Innate Celestial Demon Physique!" the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist said with amazement.

"It's still too early for praise, you know."

Celestial Demon qi intertwined all over Jue Wushen's body, and in the palm of his hand, a gray ball of divine light appeared. "Divine ability, Ray of Void!"

The ray of divine light shot out into the void!

The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist defended that attack with his full might. His Celestial Demon qi-formed black vortex caught the divine light within it and broke down at a constant pace.

"Divine ability, Calamity of Void!"

Jue Wushen unleashed his Celestial Demon Physique's divine ability once more.

This time, a transparent light barrier enveloped the whole area. As void energy began to fill the inside of the light barrier, it started destroying everything trapped within it!

At that, the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist's expression turned grim. He quickly surrounded himself with his Celestial Demon qi, and like he was the black hole, he resisted the corrosive void energy.

It was the power of the black hole versus the power of the void!

Those were two incredibly terrifying powers in the universe. With that in mind, the Celestial Demon Physique that contained those traits would naturally be very powerful as well.

Watching the battle frightened the surrounding sky-prides.

They could tell that even a trace of the shockwave from that battle was enough to wipe them all out.

"This is truly an interesting battle. If I were to enter the territory of their battle without taking any preventative measures, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to leave it alive."

Ye Zhu, who was also present among the spectating crowd, watched the battle with amazement.

"Senior Brother, who do you think will win?"

Nex to Ye Zhu, Su Yun asked curiously.

"Both Jue Wushen and the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist are formidable and shouldn't be taken lightly. However, it seems like the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist still has some tricks hidden up his sleeve," Ye Zhu said.

"Senior Brother, does that mean the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe will not survive this disaster today?"

"Well, I certainly didn't mean that. Jue Wushen might fall, but the Celestial Demon Tribe will not!"

"Why?" Su Yun wondered.

"Because they still have their king!"

…

Somewhere on the Holy Violet Planet, a mountain range suddenly started rumbling.

A colorful and dazzling beam of Immortal Sparks rose into the sky, shocking the whole area with its might, and a gust of wind swept across the land!

Within that colorful beam of Immortal Sparks, an unparalleled figure dressed in white slowly walked out, gracing the world with his magnificence!
