Chapter 687 - Do They Deserve Your Prayers? The Thunder God Cult’s Godly Secret Realm

The Thunder God Cult.

Within a glamorous holy chapel sat more than a dozen statues.

Countless cult followers prayed before these statues while the more devoted ones were kneeling in submission.

On this day, the statues abruptly shuddered in succession, which surprised the followers.

“W-what’s going on?”

“Why are the statues moving on their own?”

The Thunder God Cult followers thought it to be a prank pulled by someone, so they immediately ordered an investigation.

However, none of them discovered anything strange.

The statues were not tainted by traces of spiritual powers. If their behaviors were not caused by another person, why did the statues move?

The Thunder God Cult followers were puzzled. At the height of their confusion, they slowly descended into a commotion.

“Why are the statues behaving so strangely?”

“Is it because we aren’t sincere enough in our prayers? But I’ve sacrificed all of my monthly offerings e.”

“Me too. Is it not enough to express our devotion? Must we sacrifice our lives instead?”

“What’s God trying to tell us?”

“Oh, God, what is your message?”

Disturbed by the shake in the followers’ faith, a Thunder God Cult cultivator immediately stepped forward and announced, “Everyone, please stay calm. Our God must have chosen to manifest Himself to answer your prayers because he has been moved by your devotion. Please join me in worshipping the Thunder God.”

The followers stared at each other for a brief moment and felt it made perfect sense. Hence, they immediately knelt before the statues.

“The Thunder God has manifested. The Thunder God has manifested…”

Amidst the followers’ devoted chants and prayers, the statues began to shudder more intensely.

“The false Gods do not deserve your prayers!”

A loud voice echoed through the chambers of the chapel.

Under the frightening gaze of the followers, the statues began to shatter one after another, like a string of firecrackers.

A surge of formless, terrifying energy enveloped the entire chapel.

The Thunder God Cult cultivators rushed into the scene.

Above the holy chapel, a white-clothed figure with black hair descended.

Their newly-arrived guest possessed a slim demeanor and extraordinary aura. He floated ever so gently in the air as he leaped forward, only to create a terrifying impact that shook the earth as soon as he landed. A large fissure clawed spread out like a cobweb as the Thunder God Palace began to collapse.

The followers began to flee in panic as they stared at the white-clothed figure in terror.

“Who are you to cause a ruckus at the Thunder God Cult? How dare you insult our God with that filthy mouth of yours!”

A Thunder God Cult cultivator stared at Chu Kuangren. His utmost devotion to the Thunder God had caused him to neglect the sheer gap in power between him and his guest.

Chu Kuangren glared at the cultivator as a swarm of formless energies ravaged towards the cultivator, turning him into a cloud of blood mist before he could even react.

“The heretic false Gods must be destroyed!”

Chu Kuangren uttered as he pushed his palm forward, summoning a surge of frightening energies that charged towards another Thunder God Palace nearby.

In an instant, the entire palace was reduced into dust that filled the sky!

“How presumptuous of you!”

An elder emerged furiously from the Thunder God Cult. “You must be eager for death to insult our God like that. Oh, almighty Thunder God, lend me your strengths!”

The elder was one of the Emperors of the Thunder God Cult. He could sense that Chu Kuangren was no ordinary person, so he immediately triggered both his Emperor Qi and the Thunder God’s power.

The sky began to darken as dark clouds covered the firmament. Copious amounts of lightning energies formed in the atmosphere as the deafening roar of the thunder reverberated through a ten thousand kilometers radius.

The elder glowed in the same brightness as a thunderbolt, as if he was possessed by the Thunder God.

“This is the Thunder God’s power.”

“No wonder the great elder was the Thunder God’s chosen one. What a magnificent individual.”

“The blasphemous heretic will surely be punished for his sin.”

The Thunder God Cult’s followers and cultivators could feel their faith intensifying at the sight of the elder’s display of power.

“Allow me to show you the power of the Thunder God!” The elder grunted as the surrounding lightning energies began to flock towards him.

The elder lifted his hand, concentrating a fury of explosive lightning energy, and swung it into Chu Kuangren from above.

However, Chu Kuangren stood still with his palm facing upwards. He activated his Invincible Technique, the Empyrean Maelstrom, which effortlessly absorbed and disintegrated the elder’s attack.

The elder was appalled. “How’s that possible?!”

The observers were dumbfounded as well.

How did the Thunder God’s power get parried so easily?!

“You tried to hurt me with the power of your false God? Hilarious.”

Chu Kuangren said faintly. With a leap forward, he summoned the Almighty Avatar whose height soared through the sky. Chu Kuangren’s magnificent Emperor Aura engulfed the entire battlefield.

“D*mn it!”

The elder immediately channeled his lightning energy to its maximum intensity.

A blue figure was conjured in the realm. It was seething with a boundless amount of lightning energy as it glared unforgivingly at Chu Kuangren.

It was a thought clone of the Thunder God himself.

“Attack!”

The Thunder God punched forward, sending a wave of thunder energy that would likely destroy most Rank Nine Initial Emperors.

At this moment, strings of Heavenly Punishment Daoist Patterns appeared around Chu Kuangren and flowed towards the Almighty Avatar. At the same time, Chu Kuangren’s Prominent-grade Emperor’s Core and Epic Emperor Dao were activated all at once!

The Almighty Avatar punched forward, sending forth a mighty blast wave that was a fusion of the myriad energies within the avatar. The punch went straight through the Thunder God clone fist and shattered it apart!

The Thunder God Cult’s cultivators and followers watched as Chu Kuangren’s attack pierced through the Thunder God’s clone like a piece of paper, killing off even the elder in the aftermath.

“I’m the one true God of this realm! All false gods shall perish in my power!”

Chu Kuangren rested his hands behind him as his voice resonated clearly into the horizon. The people were astounded by his words.

Chu Kuangren then cast the Phantasmal Seven Emotions Tune.

As the strange Dao fluctuations surrounded the Thunder God Cult’s cultivators, they were overwhelmed with emotions. Suddenly, they knelt on the ground and sobbed before Chu Kuangren, confessing about all the despicable acts they had committed to spreading the gospels of the Thunder God Cult.

The followers were dumbfounded.

Chu Kuangren levitated into the air, his body beaming with an array of light as he performed the Spring Breeze Healing Technique before the crowd.

“God, this is the true God.”

“Oh, thank you, almighty true God…”

The followers knelt and worshipped Chu Kuangren.

Soon, the cultivators of the Black Heaven School arrived and began to spread the gospel of the True Black Heaven God as they absorbed the Thunder God Cult’s followers and resources for their own.

Having learned from his past experience, Chu Kuangren had a rather smooth-sailing journey of dealing with the Thunder God Cult this time. However, Chu Kuangren did notice something strange. The Dark Tiger Emperor had previously shared that there were three Emperors within the Thunder God Cult.

However, he had only killed one so far. The other two Emperors as well as the cult leader himself remained to be seen. There was also an apparent lack of skilled cultivators in the Thunder God Cult. Where did they go?

After interrogating a few influential members of the Thunder God Cult, Chu Kuangren learned that these people had discovered a Godly Secret Realm!

At the time of the event, they were searching through the realm for treasures.
