Chapter 669 - Battling Seven Sins, Forcing Demonic Qi into the Body, Perfected Emperor
A figure hovered inside the black light cocoon.
Incredibly ruthless energy, one that was way stronger than a Rank Nine Initial Emperor Realm, cascaded out from it, causing every inch of space around it to shake.
Everything within a hundred kilometers of it could feel the tremor!
Immediately after that, a hand stretched out from the black light cocoon. The whole light cocoon then shrank into a tiny light spot and rapidly dissipated, revealing a slender figure.
It was an extremely charming man with purple hair and tightly-fitted black armor. He was holding a long saber, and surges of Emperor’s Aura emanated from his body like the tide.
Every Demonic Realm being was overwhelmed with a feeling of submission as they all felt compelled to kneel down and worship this power.
“Seven Sins… Is this the Power of Seven Sins?”
“Wow, it really is powerful!”
The charming man stood in mid-air. Feeling that immense demonic qi coursing inside his body, a satisfied smile etched across his face.
Chu Kuangren’s Eye of Revelation activated as he looked on from the side. “The fusion entity of the seven Demon Emperors’ powers, primed by the energy from their Gods…”
“Now, what should I call you? Pride, Greed, or Wrath?” Chu Kuangren asked playfully.
“Seven Sins! Call me by Seven Sins!”
The charming man, Seven Sins, said arrogantly.
He stared at Chu Kuangren with an ice-cold, emotionless gaze, like he was looking at a dead man.
He leaped forward and immediately arrived in front of Chu Kuangren. The long saber in his hand turned into a black arc of light, and he abruptly struck it out at his enemy.
Similarly, Chu Kuangren struck out with the longsword in his grip.
A loud clang was heard.
Strength qi and Daoist patterns pranced wildly across the entire scene as the saber and sword clashed.
Shockingly, Chu Kuangren was pushed backward by that hit.
At the same time, the Almighty Avatar behind him threw out a punch. Tremendous Avatar’s might amassed and locked down on Seven Sins like an apocalyptic storm.
“Do you really think that this Avatar’s might of yours will work on me?”
Seven Sins burst out into laughter and drew out his saber to strike once again.
The black saber light lambasted across the sky, ripping the storm apart, and pushing the avatar back with brute force. Yet immediately after that, an extremely mysterious Daoist pattern glided across the void and landed on his body. This sent him flying into the air, and in a backward motion, blood splattered out of his mouth.
“This energy again?!”
“What the hell is this?!” Seven Sins looked at the Heavenly Punishment Daoist patterns that swirled around Chu Kuangren’s body with fear in his eyes.
Even after manifesting in the form of Seven Sins, the entity still felt a threat from that Heavenly Punishment Daoist pattern. In fact, the effects those Daoist patterns had on him had amplified instead of diminishing!
Chu Kuangren noticed this too. “The Power of Seven Sins is the manifestation of the Gods’ powers, while the Heavenly Punishment Daoist pattern that I have is specifically targeted at the Gods. Therefore, Seven Sins is exactly the target that will be most affected by it.”
Deep down, he made a mental note to study this Heavenly Punishment Daoist pattern in detail once he gets back. He could sense that this would be of tremendous use to him in the future.
It was especially when using it against the Gods.
“Even with those strange Daoist patterns of yours, there is still a huge gap between you and me. You’re definitely not going to live to see another sunrise!” Seven Sins warned Chu Kuangren, the murderous intent he had for the latter growing even more intense.
“You mean, a huge gap in terms of cultivation level? How can you be so sure about that?”
Chu Kuangren suddenly mobilized his mind power, and great amounts of mysterious Daoist patterns suddenly emerged, amalgamating into a gigantic multicolored rune.
“Everchanging Nine Dragon Rune!”
Boundless demonic qis surged frenziedly toward the rune as soon as it appeared, which in turn, manifested into nine vicious demonic dragons!
Seven Sins’ expression abruptly changed. “What are you trying to do?”
Chu Kuangren did not answer, but those nine vicious dragons were already swooping in his direction, rapidly fusing into his body.
“You’re crazy! You’re forcing demonic qi into your body!”
Seven Sins exclaimed in disbelief.
It was not just him. Even the rest of the Emperors were shocked as well.
Demonic qi was different from the spiritual qi in Firmament Star. For non-demonic beings, demonic qi was like toxic qi, and it would be harmful to absorb it.
Yet now, Chu Kuangren was bold enough to force demonic qi into his body!
In the eyes of the crowd, this act was no different than suicide!
“I know this rune. This rune enables this man to convert heavenly and earthly spiritual qi into dragon qi, then forcibly use it to increase his own cultivation!”
“So what if that’s the case? The stuff he’s forcing his body to absorb now is demonic qi! For us humans, this qi has no benefit at all.”
“Demonic qi is everywhere in this Demonic Realm Domain, so how much spiritual qi can he forcibly absorb here? He’s as good as dead.”
What happened next completely flabbergasted everyone.
Chu Kuangren, who was absorbing demonic qi by force, did not end up like what the crowd imagined. He did not look like he was not adapted to it at all.
Conversely, his energy kept on scaling!
Rank Five Initial Emperor Realm, Rank Six Initial Emperor Realm…
Rank Seven Initial Emperor Realm!
With the help of the Everchanging Nine Dragon Rune, Chu Kuangren’s cultivation level broke through three ranks consecutively, reaching the Rank Nine Initiate Emperor Realm in one go!
This meant that he was now a Perfected Emperor!
This sight dumbfounded everyone at the scene.
“What the hell is that rune? How can it harness such power?!”
“How did he manage to survive absorbing demonic qi?”
The Emperors were shocked, puzzled as to how Chu Kuangren did that.
Seven Sins, on the other hand, felt a surge of immense pressure.
When Chu Kuangren sensed that sharply-increased power inside him, he smiled in satisfaction. “Not bad.”
This Everchanging Nine Dragon Rune was a Legendary-grade rune.
As his cultivation level goes up, the power of this rune would increase as well.
With his current cultivation level, casting the rune could bring him past three whole ranks in one breath, advancing him into a Perfected Emperor!
As for how he absorbed demonic qi into his body…
For Chu Kuangren, this was never a problem, to begin with.
Demonic qi was, after all, just another type of energy from a different species.
Since he possessed the Universal Cauldron Physique, he was capable of absorbing any kind of energy. Hence, demonic qi and spiritual qi for him were no different at all!
“Come, let’s carry on!”
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly as he glanced at Seven Sins.
He drew out the Descendant Self Sword and cast an Invincible Technique!
The Daoist Transformations of sun and moon inversions and asteroids raining down conjured in the air!
Combined with the Heavenly Punishment Daoist patterns, this Invincible Technique formed a restrictive effect on Seven Sins. As such, he felt an increasing pressure weighing on him.
“Slash of Pride!”
Seven Sins drew out a sword, which then collided with the Invincible Technique head-on.
However, the colossal force blasted Seven Sins several dozen meters back in the air. His body shook violently, with the Power of Seven Sins slowly showing signs of cracking.
“I don’t trust that this won’t work!”
“Leer of Envy!” An appalling demonic ray jetted out from Seven Sins’ eyes, penetrating the void and shooting straight at Chu Kuangren.
“Empyrean Maelstrom!”
Some Daoist patterns began coursing in Chu Kuangren’s palm and forming into a whirlpool.
The demonic ray was sucked into the whirlpool, nullified, and then regenerated outward. Having never anticipated this outcome, Seven Sins was pecked back once again.
“Erosion of Greed! Fist of Wrath!”
Seven Sins followed up with another strike. Demonic qis gushed out in the form of a giant black snake and a giant fist shadow that punched out at Chu Kuangren from each side.
“Break!”
Chu Kuangren cried out, and the Almighty Avatar behind him punched out with its fists that were both primed by Daoist patterns. The numerous types of Daoist Physique energies shattered the demonic snake’s fists.
“D*mn you. D*mn you!”
“Saber of Lust!”
Seven Sins’ expression was glum as he pulled out his ultimate move.
With a strike with his sword, the surroundings turned into a pastel pink color. One after another, enchanting women appeared in the sky and flew toward Chu Kuangren gracefully.
These women were either laughing, furious, or resentful…
Each one of them had stunning beauty enough to enchant any man and mess with their thoughts.
Even those Emperors watching from the dark felt momentarily stunned, which left them petrified.
That was because following closely behind these women was an enormous saber shadow. Once the target was bewitched by these pretty women, this saber would seize the period when they lost concentration and dice them in half!
After all, charming beauty was the downfall of men!
Nonetheless, Chu Kuangren had seen through it clearly, so he was not affected at all. “Just a pile of pinkish skeletons, and you think that’ll confuse my Daoist core?! Break them all!”
