Chapter 783 - Overpowering Eight Venerable Gods, Hope for Humanity to Flourish
The eight Venerable Gods stood proudly in the air. Their respective elements and natural disasters swirling around them collided with Chu Kuangren’s miniverse violently.
Everyone thought that Chu Kuangren could not hold his own anymore.
Facing eight Venerable Gods? How could he?
However, the powerful cultivators secretly watching this battle could not help but gasp. All of them stared at Chu Kuangren with an even more shocking gaze than at the eight Venerable Gods.
“I can’t believe Cang can still maintain his miniverse despite being under attack by eight Venerable Gods. His miniverse is just too powerful.”
“Aren’t eight Venerable Gods enough to suppress him?”
The powerful cultivators, who were secretly watching the battle, were amazed.
Meanwhile, the eight Venerable Gods looked at Chu Kuangren imposingly.
“For being a human so powerful that eight Venerable Gods have to join hands to fight you… Cang, your achievements are unprecedented.”
The Venerable Fire God said as he looked at Cang.
“There’s no point in talking now. Let’s attack!” As soon as the Venerable Ice God said that, he raised his hand. Surges of divine power erupted, forming waves of freezing qi that froze anything it touched.
“Freezing qi, huh? Let’s see who’s more powerful.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
After that, a surge of freezing qi on par with that of the Venerable Ice God erupted.
“Single Thought Series, Endless Subzero Decimation!”
Surges of freezing qi erupted from Chu Kuangren’s body and froze everything in its path. Every piece of rock, gusts of winds, plants, and even the void all froze over. When the two surges of freezing qi collided, the surrounding area immediately converted into a world of ice.
However, Chu Kuangren’s surging freezing qi overpowered the Venerable Ice God!
As a surge of freezing qi landed on the Venerable Ice God, he immediately felt chills all over his body. His face turned pale as if his blood and his soul, even, were frozen.
He looked at Chu Kuangren in disbelief. “How is this possible? How did your freezing qi become so powerful?”
He was fighting ice with ice!
Yet, the Venerable Ice God was the one who felt the cold instead!
This was just too unbelievable. Despite that, the truth was laid before them. Although everyone was shocked, they had to believe it.
“In the past, you were the one who tormented me for so many years with that Frost Seal Mark you placed on me. What’s the matter? Can’t handle a little cold right now?” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He gently raised his hand before a mighty burst of mind power erupted once more. With that, the terrifying surges of freezing qi turned into a white dragon and headed towards the Venerable Ice God.
At this time, a bolt of lightning exploded!
The Venerable Thunder God came before the Venerable Ice God. His bolt of blue lightning earlier blew up the incoming surge of freezing qi.
He was a lot more powerful than the Venerable ice God. However, even he could not help but turn grim upon facing that surge of freezing qi.
“Everyone, don’t hold back. Attack!”
The Venerable Thunder God said coldly.
With that, the other Venerable Gods immediately attacked.
Violent storms, earthquakes, darkness, light — various types of divine power erupted and blasted towards Chu Kuangren from all directions. Even a Daoist Celestial would instantly be killed when facing such power.
Chu Kuangren’s mind power surged as he channeled it to the max.
His invisible mind power aura got so strong that the surrounding void around him distorted.
“Single Thought Series, Ultimate Chasm of Convergence!”
With a grunt, several vortexes appeared around Chu Kuangren, and countless strands of Daoist patterns were swirling in each of them. All of the incoming divine power attacks were immediately nullified the moment they were absorbed into the vortex.
The Single Thought Series was an Esoteric Art that Chu Kuangren created after studying and researching various mind power cultivation techniques. It was also another application for his Invincible Dao.
The series currently contained four techniques.
Cataclysmic Pantheon Flame Lotus, Unlimited Armaments Desolation, and Endless Subzero Decimation.
These three techniques were used for offense.
Meanwhile, the fourth technique, Ultimate Chasm of Convergence was used for defense.
This technique was similar to his Invincible Technique, Empyrean Maelstrom. Although it did not possess the Empyrean Maelstrom’s ability to reflect his opponent’s attack, its defensive capabilities were much more powerful.
Countless surges of divine power disintegrated upon entering the vortexes that Chu Kuangren created in the void. None of the attacks could hurt him at all.
In fact, his body was incredibly weak compared to the gods.
As such, everyone knew that if Chu Kuangren were to get hit, he would immediately die on the spot due to his frail body.
However, the gods did not have that capability.
“What a powerful defensive technique.”
The Underworld God said with a serious look on his face.
He then channeled his divine power while muttering a weird chant.
It was the Underworld God’s soul-related divine ability, the Ethereal Whispers!
The power of the Ethereal Whispers rushed towards Chu Kuangren, immediately going through his body and directly attacking his soul.
It was an incredibly terrifying attack that was unavoidable.
Back in the future, Chu Kuangren had faced this technique twice before. However, the combined might of those two times was nowhere near the one coming right at him this time.
This time, the Underworld God was attacking with his full strength!
“If I were to face this attack back in the future, the Ethereal Whispers might have affected me a little. But now, it’s useless.”
Chu Kuangren stood unmoved and took the Ethereal Whispers attack head-on.
His soul energy level was already very powerful before he arrived in this era because he had cultivated the Bodhi Lotus Sutra. It was almost on par with a Daoist Celestial’s soul energy level.
However, after arriving in this era where he ate ninety-nine Soul Fruits and cultivated the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement technique, Chu Kuangren’s soul energy was now on par with a Daoist Celestial.
The Ethereal Whispers were completely ineffective against him.
Upon noticing this, the Underworld God looked at Chu Kuangren with surprise and fear in his eyes. “The Ethereal Whispers is not affecting him at all. How is his soul so powerful?”
He channeled divine power once more.
A huge black gate immediately appeared in the void. When that huge gate opened, hordes of ghouls instantly poured out.
That was the Underworld God’s other divine ability, the Gate of the Underworld!
“Oh, it’s this dumb gate again.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
With a thought from his mind, surges of spiritual qi gathered and turned into thousands of armaments and weapons in the void!
Countless weapons shot out, sweeping through the hordes of ghouls like a menacing storm. All of the ghouls were wiped out wherever the weapons landed.
After that, thousands of weapons landed on the huge black gate.
Bam, bam, bam!
The whole gate was blasted into pieces by the barrage of weapons.
The Underworld God’s face turned pale the instant his Gate of the Underworld was destroyed. It was clear that he had suffered some repercussions from that attack.
“Raging Flame Dragon!”
The Venerable Fire God attacked.
A golden flame soon ignited all over his body, turning into a ferocious flame dragon. The air around him instantly turned dry, as if anything could be set alight at that moment.
The flame dragon’s mighty roar shook through heaven and earth.
Even so, Chu Kuangren remained in his spot. With a single thought, surges of spiritual qi from the surroundings gathered, and Daoist patterns interweaved to form a golden-red flame lotus in the air.
He was fighting fire with fire!
The golden-red flame lotus landed on the flame dragon. The two flames — one made from divine power and another from mind power — and the two different Daoist patterns within the two attacks collided.
Due to the high temperature, the void became distorted.
Eventually, the two bundles of flame exploded.
The wave of fire swept out and got onto the Venerable Fire God. As a result, the mighty Venerable Fire God yelled in pain from being burned and retreated tens of meters backward. The fire had burnt many holes into his clothes, exposing large areas of his scalded skin.
The Venerable Ice God was injured by freezing qi, while the Venerable Fire God suffered burns. Everyone felt incredulous upon seeing this.
The Venerable Earth God and Venerable Storm God attacked following that.
Similarly, both of them could not even hurt Chu Kuangren and were forced back by his powerful mind power techniques instead.
Chu Kuangren’s invincible demeanor and glorious capabilities in singlehandedly overpowering all the eight Venerable Gods dazzled everyone.
At this moment, the human race could see a ray of hope!
It was a ray of hope that pierced through the darkness, which has enveloped them since the dawn of time!
“There’s hope for the human race to flourish and grow!”
Feng Gu, Yan Wu, and the others were overcome with emotion.
