Chapter 527 - Blood Rage Mega Formation, Hundred Kilometers Rage Qi Cloud, Buddhist Light Purifies T
“Seeing that you have to use such weird gimmicks to deal with my sword qi, where did you get the courage to challenge me?”
Chu Kuangren stared at Jian Changfeng and said.
That was when a blast of terrifying Daoist Rhymes unfolded behind Jian Changfeng, and a dark figure emerged, charging towards Chu Kuangren.
“The real challenger is here.”
Chu Kuangren looked at the dark figure with a weird look in his eyes and swung his sword in response.
A domineering stream of purple sword rays shot out.
The sword ray proceeded to slay the dark figure in half.
However, the only things that fell were two torn parts of a black robe.
A frail figure had escaped the robe and appeared before Chu Kuangren, where he pierced his sword forward.
The sword curled cunningly at a sly angle as if it was an ambushing venomous snake that was striking brutally at its victim.
At that instance, it felt like Chu Kuangren was about to be killed by an archaic ancient beast.
“Finally. Someone with standards.”
Chu Kuangren smirked as he increased his reaction speed, clashing his Self Descendant Sword directly with his opponent’s weapon.
As the swords crossed each other, cinders sparked as their sharp sword qi spread out in all directions.
The Sword Descendant Sword unleashed a terrifying blast that sent the frail figure flying hundreds of meters away.
As the figure stabilized his body, Chu Kuangren noticed that he was a grim, old man whose eyes sank into his socket.
“Your physical prowess isn’t bad at all, considering you could close in on me. The fact that you’re able to survive my attack indicates that your sword techniques are decent too.”
Chu Kuangren looked at the elder and said.
It was the highest compliment Chu Kuangren could offer to someone.
Chu Kuangren’s statement was indicative of the elder’s abilities. He was much stronger than most of the Boundary Emperors.
Even Swordsman San was far weaker than him.
“Pfft, I didn’t know the outside world could produce a sky-pride like you! How impressive indeed. Unfortunately, the only outcome of offending my tribe is death!”
The elder tutted.
Despite them being enemies, it did not stop the elder from praising Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren replied calmly, “Alright, then. You can reveal your tricks now. Let me see what you’re capable of.”
Chu Kuangren did not think they had massacred all of Blaze City just to create a battleground.
There must be something to the mega formation and all of these dead people.
Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation and studied the elder.
“Swordsman Yan, a member of the Shadow Swordsmen, trained in the Sword of Resentment…”
Resentment?
That explained a lot.
Chu Kuangren understood the context now.
“Heehee, Chu Kuangren, you must feel very proud to be accompanied by so many in your burial ground!”
Swordsman Yan cackled strangely.
Then, a surge of eerie sword Daoist Rhymes erupted from his body.
His Daoist Rhymes transformed into a maroon pillar that penetrated the sky and resonated strangely with the mega formation that surrounded the Blaze City.
All of the sudden.
The mounting corpses that were scattered all over Blaze City began to emit copious amounts of bright red rage qi into the air.
The rage qi grew in volume as it flowed endlessly into the sky to form a mortifying Rage Qi Cloud that spanned hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
Of course, the oppressive energies that were imposed by such rage qi would no doubt be terrifying. It was as if Chu Kuangren was now trapped in hell, surrounded by the wailings of the departed. The eerie scene paled in comparison to that created by the combined technique of Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul.
The rage qi conjured by the Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul were merely forged by their Daoist Rhymes and spiritual power.
However, the rage qi that surrounded Chu Kuangren this time was authentically created from the blood of more than ten million living beings!
The difference between the two was in the material.
“Chu Kuangren, I’m never one to use the Blood Rage Mega Formation lightly, and I guess you’ve figured out the reason. To activate this formation each time requires a sacrifice of a rather significant number of living beings. This time, in order to kill you, I’ve sacrificed an entire city with more than ten million living beings!”
“I wonder how you feel about so many people keeping you company in your death, Chu Kuangren.”
Swordsman Yan laughed triumphantly, thinking that he already had the upper hand.
Not even Swordsman Yan knew how powerful the Blood Rage Mega Formation would be, having sacrificed more than ten million lives.
Nevertheless, he did know that this power was at least ten times more powerful than Swordsman San.
Perhaps, he could even put on a good fight against a Sovereign!
“It looks like I have no other choice other than to kill you.”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently, his eyes searing with cold murderous intent.
Swordsman Yan could not help but feel a shiver down his spine.
“Kill!”
To avoid overthinking, Swordsman Yan abruptly released the mega formation’s power.
The thick, crimson Rage Qi Cloud began to swarm towards Chu Kuangren.
It was an utterly frightening rage qi torrent!
On a closer look, the rage qi was composed of a myriad of vengeful souls who were clawing forward, be it those of an elderly, a woman, or a child…
Those were the deceased people of Blaze City.
Having been turned into a swarm of abhorrent vengeful souls controlled by Swordsman Yan, they clawed as one towards Chu Kuangren!
“I didn’t want to die.”
“Why? Why must you wrong the Sword Tribe? Why must you drag us into this?”
“Why aren’t you the one dead?”
The vengeful souls wailed incessantly as they stared resentfully at Chu Kuangren, attempting to disrupt his state of mind.
This was one of the strongest aspects of the Blood Rage Mega Formation. Any ordinary cultivator would have felt their mental state crumbling within before they became a feast for the vengeful souls.
Even a typical Boundary Emperor would have been affected by this formation and saw a great reduction in their combat strengths.
The way Swordsman Yan saw it was that no matter how strong and remarkable Chu Kuangren was, his Daoist core could not be stronger than those of the Boundary Emperors.
A cultivator’s Daoist core could only be strengthened by one’s experience, age, and insights. It was impossible to replicate it through sheer talent alone.
To Swordsman Yan’s surprise, Chu Kuangren had remained completely unfazed amidst the incessant cursing of the vengeful souls.
It was as if Chu Kuangren’s Daoist core had gone through ages of experiences and had been refined beyond perfection!
“How? How can he possess such a powerful Daoist core?!”
“His talents are unprecedented. He’s capable of slaying Boundary Emperors, and even his Daoist Core is indestructible?!”
Swordsman Yan was incredulous.
An unprecedented talent, and an indestructible Daoist Core…
Such was the true definition of an unparalleled individual!
Just then, Chu Kuangren finally made his move.
He gently lifted his hand and radiated with a magnificent display of Buddhist Light. Like a rising sun, Chu Kuangren cast his light all over the city!
“Buddhist Light? Is this br*t a Buddhist cultivator now?!”
While Swordsman Yan was still overwhelmed by shock, Chu Kuangren’s Buddhist Light only grew brighter before it eventually formed an enormous ancient Buddha!
The ancient Buddha looked at the vengeful souls in pity and began chanting his Brahmic Chime.
Then, it eventually unleashed a palm technique.
Its magnificent Buddhist Light immediately shattered the rage qi torrent that was swarming towards Chu Kuangren.
With one touch, countless vengeful souls were purified. However, the enormous Buddhist palm continued ascending towards the giant Rage Qi Cloud.
The Buddhist palm grasped onto the Rage Qi Cloud, injecting a boundless amount of Buddhist Light within.
Rays of golden light began to pierce out of the crimson Rage Qi Cloud. Soon, the hundred-kilometers Rage Qi Cloud exploded!
The Blood Rage Mega Formation that surrounded the Blaze City shuddered under the overwhelming energy and began to crumble.
