Chapter 309: Issue A Public Apology, Or I Will Tear Down The First City
“What do you think you’re doing!” In the adjudicator’s booth, the Eleventh and Twelfth Prefect stood up as they glared at Chu Kuangren with extreme rage.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren’s body emitted a chilly Daoist Rhyme that enveloped the entire arena in an instant, almost forcing the two Prefects down on all fours.
The both of them were incredibly terrified.
They were both Honorable Supremes.
Yet in front of Chu Kuangren’s Daoist Rhyme, they had been oppressed to this degree. Deep down inside, they thought it was very ridiculous.
“Are you guys actually asking me what I’m going to do?”
“Hah, that’s funny.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled before he said emotionlessly, “Cancelling the points system, banning the use of pills… I’ve tolerated all that nonsense.”
“But you keep testing my boundaries again and again.”
“Cheating in front of the public eye, using the Thousand Terrains Secret Realm against my sect, do you guys really think I’m blind?!”
Chu Kuangren shouted the last sentence, and the Daoist Rhyme that emitted from his body became even more horrifying. The whole arena was shrouded in his fury, making all the sect leaders and sky-prides incredibly petrified.
Chang Tian, Chang Ao, Xiao Tianye, Li Yin, and the rest of the sky-prides inadvertently shuddered in fear as they watched the white-robed figure in front of them unbelievably.
Just his domineering aura alone denied them any form of resistance, so much so that they were almost forced onto the ground. How scary could this person get?!
“Is this Chu Kuangren’s true form?”
“He didn’t even use his full strength when he was dealing with Chang Tian earlier. Maybe to him, that was just like toying with a tiny little ant…”
In face of Chu Kuangren’s fury, the few adjudicators on the adjudicator’s booth felt like their heads were about to explode from the extreme fear they felt.
“Chu Kuangren, what do you want?”
“I need an explanation!”
Chu Kuangren said coldly, “We, the Black Heaven Sect, demand an explanation from the First City! I want the First City and also the people who bribed you to reveal what happened behind the scenes in this competition and issue a public apology to the Black Heaven Sect!”
Reveal what happened behind the scenes?!
Upon hearing that, the Sky Emperor Palace Lord and the few Prefects’ faces turned solemn.
In fact, most people were able to tell that there was something fishy going on backstage. Nevertheless, things would remain speculation unless there was evidence, hence this incident would not affect the First City much.
However, if the organizers were to reveal any insider information, it would signify the admittance of responsibility from both the Sky Emperor Palace and the First City, hence confirming this speculation. This would then hugely affect them.
The most direct consequence of all would be the damage to their reputation!
“Chu Kuangren, don’t you dare go too far!”
“Oh, have I gone too far? Alright, let me offer you an alternative then, and that is to let me tear down First City!!”
Once that sentence was spoken, a tremendous domineering aura abruptly rained down from above!
That aura also contained an overbearing Sage Daoist Rhyme.
A Sage had arrived.
A black-robed middle-aged man was seen walking down from the sky. His gaze was electrifying as he stared at Chu Kuangren directly in the eye and said, “Rumor has it that a certain Chu Kuangren does things in extreme arrogance and disregard. Today, I’ve finally got to witness the truth in that statement. The Black Heaven Sect has already won the championship, yet you still want to tear down our First City. Where did you get this logic from?!”
The Eleventh and Twelfth Prefect seemed delighted at the man’s arrival.
“Greetings, Third Prefect!”
This black-robed middle-aged man was the Third Prefect of the First City and one of the three Sages of the First City — the person who was currently in charge.
Chu Kuangren remained resolute despite the Sage’s appearance and said coldly, “We, the Black Heaven Sect, could have breezed through the competition. But because of your lies and deceit, my disciples have been heavily injured and almost lost their lives in the process. Do you really think all would be well after we’ve won the competition?!”
“Do you think we’re dumb? The same offer remains on the table, either the First City issue a public apology, or I shall tear down the First City today!”
“Very well. That’s quite impressive, Chu Kuangren. Since you dare to be so arrogant and defiant, I’d like to see you try tearing down the First City!” The Third Prefect was so angry that he smiled, and a powerful Sage’s aura erupted from his body.
This aura was much more intimidating than most of the Sages Chu Kuangren had faced in the past. It was even stronger than Shang clan’s Sixth-Step Sage.
A Seventh-Step Sage!
This Third Prefect of the First City was a Seventh-Step Sage!
Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation and analyzed his adversary’s strength.
“Seems like we have ourselves a battle here.”
The Descendant Self Sword at Chu Kuangren’s waist unsheathed itself.
Sharp-edged sword qi wrecked chaos in the air, and upon seeing how the situation had unfolded, no one in the crowd dared to remain in their seat. Everyone hastily left the scene.
This was a Sage-level battle!
As compared to this, the battles in the championship earlier were nothing but mere small fights. If one were to stay put and get caught in this battle, not even Honorables would be able to escape unscathed.
“I’ve been longing to fight with you. Bring it on.”
The Third Prefect said calmly.
He then slammed out a palm.
A massive amount of spiritual energy amassed and formed into a giant pearly-white hand. Along with a violent storm, it then landed down on Chu Kuangren!
This hit was so ferocious that the whole arena was sent into a quake. However, Chu Kuangren showed no signs of hesitance as he returned with a similar palm attack.
A golden-colored spiritual power surged before it turned into a giant gold hand. A gush of boundless, colossal Buddhist Light illuminated and blasted itself at that incoming giant hand.
Sage Ruler Technique, Giant Palm of Exorcism!
Boom!!
The two giant hands collided violently in mid-air!
With the golden Buddhist Light and the white spiritual energy mixed together, a violent shockwave spread out in all directions and crashed onto the entire arena.
The ground was split open, sand and dust swirled about, and the walls began to crumble…
Vehement strength qi was continuously blasted onto the audience seat. In an instant, the audience stand was reduced into a rumble and a state of chaos.
The audience, who had fled the scene earlier, could not help but shudder at this sight.
If they were to delay their escape, they would have been turned into a puddle of meat sludge by now. This Sage-level battle was way too terrifying to them.
“Tsk, a Buddhist Technique. Compassion is central to the Buddhist teachings, but it seems to me that you’ve learned nothing about the essence of Buddhism, Sect Leader Chu.”
The Third Prefect let out a light scoff.
“I’ve never been a man of Buddhism myself. But even though I do know that Buddhism emphasizes compassion, I also know that they can be fierce too!”
Chu Kuangren sat crossed legs as an immense Buddhist Light surged from all over his body, projecting into a Giant Golden Buddha in the air.
It was the Emperor Technique, Tathagata Rebirth Mantra!
Sat in mid-air, the Giant Golden Buddha threw out a fist attack towards the Third Prefect, with Buddhist Light gushing out like a tsunami.
Contained within it was an Emperor’s Aura!
Faced against such an attack, the Third Prefect’s face turned grim and an incredibly ferocious Daoist Rhyme erupted from his body, forming a barrier to shield him.
However, even though he was a Seventh-Step Sage, a spiritual barrier alone was not enough to defend him against this attack.
With a loud boom, the spiritual barrier was smashed into smithereens!!
The immense power of this attack also blasted the Third Prefect several hundred meters off his feet. His hair, which was held together by a hairpin, was loose after this one hit, making him look like a real mess.
Everybody from the various sage orthodoxies was stunned when they witnessed that Giant Golden Buddha.
That power was way too terrifying.
One attack alone was enough to blast a Seventh-Step Sage into the air!
“In the current world of Buddhism, there are certainly less than a handful of people who can do this. So for Chu Kuangren to have such Buddhist Technique on him, which he has mastered to this extent, is too unbelievable.”
“I heard that some Buddhists regard him as a reincarnated living Buddha. I initially thought that this was just some kind of joke, but now it seems that their reason is valid. This Buddhist Light is indeed unprecedented.”
