Chapter 600: What Harm Could Runes, Formations, and Yingyang Lightning Energy Do To Me
At the Ancient Daoist Lake, one of the places with great Opportunities of Fortune, an item finally appeared.
It was a Primeval Daoist Gem that contained Daoist Patterns within it.
Such an item was valuable enough to draw the attention of many.
However, its surroundings were deserted.
All of a sudden, firm footsteps echoed from the mountain path.
A young, handsome white-robed man with black hair and a sword tied to his waist was slowly approaching it. His gaze was bright like a torch as he stared at the Primeval Daoist Gem.
The person was none other than Chu Kuangren.
He looked at the Primeval Daoist Gem with a grin. “If I refine this Daoist Gem, I will gain more progress than I have in the past half a month.”
He glanced around his surroundings, where not a single soul could be found.
“Very well. Let’s see what all of you have in store for me.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Countless runes suddenly appeared in the void around him as soon as he finished speaking, forming a perimeter around him to prevent his escape.
Runic light swirled as the surrounding area was enveloped in a surge of domineering aura.
“Runes? Oh, the Runic Lands are behind this.”
Chu Kuangren instantly recognized the runes around him.
When he defeated Zi Wuji in a battle of runes, Chu Kuangren obtained the Thousand Rune Compendium from his opponent, which contained records of countless runes from ancient times. Since he had gone through it all, he had already mastered all of the runes in that compendium.
That was why he knew all of these runes before him.
Boom, boom, boom…
As countless runes filled the skies, several bursts of energy erupted at once!
Attacks consisting of flame, frost, gale, saber, rain, and sword swept towards Chu Kuangren. It came with such might that the whole mountain rumbled.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren remained in his place. With a flicker of his mind, the surrounding spiritual qi quickly rushed towards him like rivers flowing back into the ocean and gathered around him. Then, a gigantic silver-white rune formed in the air and enveloped the whole mountain peak.
“Rune of Annihilation!”
Following the Rune of Annihilation’s appearance, a powerful surge of energy erupted!
The runic enigma energy soon disintegrated all of the incoming runes in the void with its destructive momentum.
On a mountain peak far away, Zi Wuji was shocked to see that. “It’s that rune again, the one that contains the runic enigma energy!”
Chu Kuangren’s Rune of Annihilation posed too great of a threat to ordinary rune casters. It was even on par with the power of Zi Wuji’s Purple Runic Demon Eyes.
Both of them were two different types of runic enigma energy.
“D*mn it. With that kind of runic enigma energy, my runes will hardly be a threat to him.”
Zi Wuji uttered defeatedly.
Meanwhile, as soon as the sky full of runes was destroyed outside the Ancient Daoist Lake, a powerful energy wave suddenly erupted from a few mountain peaks nearby.
Chu Kuangren glanced around him, realizing that dozens of unusually large stone pillars had protruded around the Ancient Daoist Lake.
Each of the stone pillars had someone standing on top of it, and the position of those stone pillars was extremely intriguing too. They seemed to contain the Five Ways and Eight Trigrams’ Esoteric Art.
“Formations are after runes?”
Chu Kuangren uttered.
This piqued his interest. “I’m now truly curious as to how far all of you are willing to go just to defeat me?”
He took a step forward, wanting to grab that Primeval Daoist Gem first and then leave.
However, the stone pillars around him started to rumble.
An extremely vast surge of earth qi rose into the air and circulated in the void to form sixty-four gigantic pillars of light that landed around Chu Kuangren. It created an impenetrable prison that trapped him within it.
“Haha! What do you think of my Great Earthen Prison Formation that uses earth qi as pillars and forces of nature as a prison, Chu Kuangren?”
A burst of laughter came from above one of the stone pillars.
The person laughing was the Formation Daoist, an outlawed sky-pride from the Thousand Formation Sect.
He had a smug look on his face. It was clear that he had spent a lot of time setting up the Great Earthen Prison Formation.
He was confident that even a Sovereign would not be able to break free from it.
Just as the Formation Daoist finished speaking, dark clouds started to roll in and gather in the sky, followed by the sound of thunder rumbling.
The thunder echoed in the sky along with alternating flashes of black and white light, and a terrifying surge of Yin Yang spiritual power erupted.
Amidst the dark clouds, a young man in black and white Daoist robes glared at Chu Kuangren, who was now trapped inside the Great Earthen Prison Formation.
“Chu Kuangren, my name is Yun Luozi. I am the current outlawed sky-pride of the Divine Yinyang Sect. Have a taste of my Twin Yinyang Lightning!”
As he let out a cry, bolts of alternating black and white lightning flashed in the skies, passed through the Great Earthen Prison Formation, and locked down on Chu Kuangren!
The black lightning was vicious and sinister while the white lightning was fierce and overbearing!
The two types of lightning came crashing down continuously, cutting off any route of escape for Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren remained in his spot with an apathetic gaze. The countless bolts of lightning were all deflected by his sword hand sign.
Surges of lightning energy erupted non-stop and attacked the Great Earthen Prison Formation. However, this formation was easy to break into but incredibly hard to break out of. As such, the formation suffered no damage at all under the barrage of lightning strikes.
An enraged yell soon came from the clouds.
The lightning energy around Yun Luozi continuously converged towards him and sparked Yin and Yang lightning energies around his body. Soon, he was enveloped in flashes of lightning like a divine God that held dominion over lightning.
“Yinyang Convergence, Daybreaking Thunder God Slash!”
Letting out a long roar, Yun Luozi merged the Yin and Yang lightning energies within his body. Then, it unleashed from the palm of his hand and took the form of a grey sword shadow covered in horrifying sparks of lightning that fell from the sky!
That was Yun Luozi’s most powerful technique.
It was an extremely terrifying one too.
Even the crowd of outlawed sky-prides were extremely terrified of it.
“Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements!”
An indifferent voice rang out at that moment.
Chu Kuangren simply raised his hand and gathered the Four Mystical forces of earth, wind, water, and fire, which merged into a four-colored sword ray that shot into the sky.
The Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements clashed head-on against the Daybreaking Thunder God Slash!
The two horrifying surges of energy instantly exploded!
Upon contact with the Four Mystical Swords, the grey sword shadow collapsed. The Four Mystical forces had overpowered the Daybreaking Thunder!
As the might of the Four Mystical Swords locked onto the Yun Luozi, his face paled in horror.
“How is this possible?!” Yun Luozi could not believe that his most powerful technique was shattered in a single move.
However, instead of falling onto Yun Luozi, the Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements crashed into the Great Earthen Prison Formation with a boom.
The formation that used earth qi as a support and the power of nature as a prison began to shake violently before the light pillars exploded one after another!
Under the subsequent explosions of the pillars of light, the Earthen Prison crumbled!
The blast wave from the impact of the Four Mystical forces and earth qi’s collision spread everywhere. As the closest to it, Yun Luozi was the first to bear the brunt of that power. Despite his desperate attempts to resist, he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying. There was no telling how many broken bones he had suffered.
With that, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone on the Ancient Daoist Lake once again. Standing proudly with his arms crossed, Chu Kuangren said indifferently, “What harm could runes, formations, and Yinyang lightning energy do to me?
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren and gulped. The Formation Daoist, especially, was traumatized with shock. “How did he destroy this Great Earthen Prison Formation that I spent so much time and effort to set up in one move? I can’t believe how powerful he is!”
After all, seeing was believing.
Having only heard rumors of Chu Kuangren’s power and abilities, the Formation Daoist finally witnessed how strong his opponent was for himself.
Chu Kuangren’s strength had far exceeded his imagination.
