1784 Hunted in the Restricted Area, The Innate Five Elemental Flags, Don’t Mind If I Do
The emergency message reached the elites inside the Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area at the same time.
An intruder had entered the Restricted Area.
The sudden news caused great anger among them. The main reason the Restricted Area was known as the Restricted Area was that outsiders were not allowed in.
Those who did so would most likely end up dead!
Now that an outsider had intruded the area, what would it mean for the intruder in question?
"I don't care what the outsider's motive is. Since he dares to intrude into the Restricted Area, he must be prepared to die!"
"That's right. All outsiders shall be killed!"
"Hmph, do they think they can just barge into the Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area? Who do they think we are?"
"I heard that dozens of years ago, the Soul Restricted Area was broken into by Chu Kuangren, who then turned their whole place upside down. That incident has made the Soul Restricted Area a joke among the other Restricted Areas, and the Soul Restricted Area has since lost its reputation. We must not allow the Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area to become the second Soul Restricted Area."
"That's right!"
Moments after, the elites of the Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area started to act.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren picked a certain direction and was about to leave the Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area. However, he noticed the entire Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area was shrouded by a gigantic light barrier!
That was the Restricted Area's restriction barrier!
"It looks like they won't let me leave that easily."
Noticing the dozens of powerful Arch Gilded auras approaching him from behind, Chu Kuangren shook his head helplessly.
He did not expect to be hunted down upon returning to Pan Gu Universe.
By that point, his good mood was ruined.
"Outsider, prepare to die!"
One of the elders dressed in long blue robes snorted. He raised his arm, gathering endless torrential force from the surroundings in the palm of his hand.
He was a water-attribute natural spirit that gained sentience through the Dao.
Immensely terrifying power was contained in every drop of liquid within the endless torrential force. Besides, the liquid was as dark as ink. It was the Mysterious Weighted Black Water technique!
That attack was so powerful that even the Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortals might not successfully resist it.
"Blade of Zhou, Berserking Torment!"
Chu Kuangren made a sword hand sign and unleashed the Berserking Torment attack!
His sword qi tore through the Mysterious Weighted Black Water and sent that elderly cultivator flying.
"What kind of Arch Gilded Intent is this?"
The elderly cultivator's expression changed.
He could sense a trace of Transcendental Intent within Chu Kuangren's Arch Gilded Intent, and it was several times stronger than his.
Besides, it was already extremely close to the Five-Step Arch Gilded Intent level.
'This is no ordinary Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal, it seems.'
"Heavenly Wind Blight Slash!"
A sword ray shot out of nowhere. Having been concealed within the storm initially, it instantly enveloped Chu Kuangren in all directions.
"Blade of Zhou, Tyrannical Ascension!"
Chu Kuangren unleashed the Tyrannical Ascension attack with his sword hand sign.
A gigantic sword shadow descended from the sky.
The endless storm was instantly ripped apart into nothing by the sword shadow.
"Lightning Beast Descent!"
At that time, a lightning spirit arrived above Chu Kuangren. He gathered endless lightning to form a ferocious lightning beast that descended on Chu Kuangren.
"Blade of Zhou, Infinite Void!"
Chu Kuangren twisted his sword hand sign, gathering countless Daoist patterns that appeared and turning them into a giant sword shadow. The ferocious lightning beast shattered right after!
The remaining Heavenly Spirits also attacked but soon found their techniques destroyed or countered effortlessly.
"Such power!"
"This person's power is not to be underestimated. He must have some hidden agenda for coming to the Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area. We must not let him escape at all costs!"
A hulking figure with a golden glow all over his body charged toward Chu Kuangren.
It was a Metal-Attribute Heavenly Spirit.
His whole body was made from extremely tough metal.
With just one punch, his fist created energy storms that locked onto Chu Kuangren. Even the void surrounding him immediately crumbled.
"Comparing raw physical strength now, huh?"
Instead of evading or escaping, Chu Kuangren unleashed a similar punch in return!
His terrifying raw physical power erupted!
After all, that body of his was made from the Chaos Green Lotus itself!
How many individuals in this universe could destroy the Chaos Green Lotus?
Besides the Great Dao, there had been no account of anyone destroying a Chaos Green Lotus. Even the Primordial cultivators might not succeed if they went at it without using any items.
Bam!
The two fists collided brutally against each other.
Powerful waves of punch strength spread everywhere. The hulking man screamed in pain as half of his arm was blown up, and as a result, he was blasted away from the impact!
That very sight made everyone else's hearts pound with fear.
"How does he possess such raw physical strength?!"
"Who the hell is he?"
There was fear in everyone's eyes.
At that moment, an elderly man took out a large flagpole with a green flag and said coldly, "I'm afraid this person will be very hard to defeat. Everyone, let's activate the Great Innate Five Elemental Formation!"
Upon hearing that, the others exchanged gazes and nodded.
Each of them then took out a large flagpole with different colored flags.
There were a total of five flagpoles.
When Chu Kuangren saw the great flags, his eyes lit up. That Green Lotus body of his started trembling a little, seemingly reacting in response to their presence.
A sense of hunger appeared from within his body, seemingly desperate for the five great flagpoles.
"If I'm not mistaken, these must be the Innate Five Elemental Flags[1]." Chu Kuangren smiled.
"What a wonderful find!"
The Innate Five Elemental Flags was an Innate Source Supreme Treasure!
That treasure consisted of five parts, the Yellow Pentagram Apricot Flag, Green Lotus Treasure Color Flag, Scorching Ground Flame Flag, Plain Overworld Cloud Flag, and Mysterious Prime Water Control Flag. Each of the five flags represented one of the Five Elements and could be combined to form the powerful Great Innate Five Elemental Formation.
However, that was not the reason Chu Kuangren was attracted to it.
He was so attracted to the Innate Five Elemental Flags mainly because it was formed by five lotus leaves from the Chaos Green Lotus merging with the five-elemental qi.
If he could absorb the Innate Five Elemental Flags, it would greatly benefit his Chaos Green Lotus body.
That clone of his would also become more powerful.
"I wanted to leave this place without causing any trouble, but since you guys are determined to stop me, don't blame me for what I'm about to do next," Chu Kuangren said.
He admitted his fault for entering the Restricted Area by mistake, breaking their rule of not allowing outsiders inside. That was why he did not kill anyone during the battle.
However, that did not mean he was a kindhearted person. Since the Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area's cultivators did not allow him to leave and unleashed even a powerful killing technique like the Great Innate Five Elemental Formation, he might as well… accept their "gift"!
Chu Kuangren grinned.
'You guys were the ones who attacked me first, so it's not my fault.'
"Great Innate Five Elemental Formation, activate!" the leading Heavenly Spirit commanded.
In that instant, the Five-Elemental energy started surging in the surroundings. The powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and the earth started intertwining. Countless beams of light shot out toward Chu Kuangren without mercy.
Knowing that he was in the Restricted Area, Chu Kuangren understood that a prolonged battle would only be disadvantageous to him.
If he were to startle the Embodier here, leaving would not be so easy anymore.
"Within the Chaos lies a lotus, the master of creation and destruction!"
"Green Lotus, Light of Destruction!"
Chu Kuangren's eyes flickered. As he raised his arms, countless mysterious Great Dao runes appeared in the surroundings, radiating green light, and a devastating destructive qi swept out!
Whenever it went, the incoming Five-Elemental Light was broken down and dispelled!
The Five-Elemental energy and the void itself were shattered by that inexplicably powerful energy.
The Great Innate Five Elemental Formation was destroyed!
"How is this possible?!"
The Heavenly Spirits' eyes widened with shock and horror.
Boom!
The ones who set up the formation were the first to be hit by the Green Lotus's destructive power and Five-Elemental power, so the impact immediately sent them flying!
Their Innate Five Elemental Flags also flew out of their grasp.
Taking that opportunity, Chu Kuangren quickly grabbed the Five Elemental Flags. Following that, his figure turned into a ray of light and dashed into the distance.
Then, he unleashed his Green Lotus's destructive power in the form of a light pillar and brutally tore open a rift in the Restricted Area's barrier. He immediately flew out before disappearing into the vast universe.
"Argh!"
"Our Five Elemental Flags!"
The Heavenly Spirits were left behind, enraged and heartbroken by what happened.
