Chapter 55: Mysterious Gray Mist, Might of the Threefold Dark Ruler Obliterating Dust
The sword beam remained a peerless and brutal offensive force!
Lei Ao’s pupils shrank upon witnessing that. He then flapped his black lightning wings, which released a terrifying surge of lightning that blocked the sword beam!
He almost could not believe it.
How did his opponent’s strength remain the same?
Why did his power not cause any effect on Chu Kuangren?
“What the hell is going on!”
No matter how hard Lei Ao tried to figure it out, he did not consider the possibility that an ability far stronger than the Supreme Daoist Physique existed. It was known as … The Immortal Body!
The black lightning from Lei Ao had indeed affected Chu Kuangren, as some lightning energy managed to get inside the latter’s body and caused a certain amount of damage.
However, those injuries and wounds were healed by the Immortal Body ability in an instant.
‘Shouldn’t you say that I’m definitely a Young Emperor indeed?’
Chu Kuangren thought in his mind.
Ever since descending down from the mountains, there was not a single person that had ever managed to wound him. That included even the Battle Monarch cultivators from the White Cloud City Hall.
Unbelievably so, it was Lei Ao who managed to do it.
“Not bad for an animal. However, an animal will always stay an animal!” Chu Kuangren’s spiritual power welled up within his body as his Golden Jade Body deployed while his Sword-based Daoist Rhymes raged and surged.
Just when he was about to resume the battle with Lei Ao, a wave of gray-colored mist suddenly crept forth from somewhere far away.
“What’s this?”
“How can there be so much of this mist!”
The fog was surging unstoppably, forcing the onlooking crowd to retreat. Although no one knew what that was, they still did not dare to touch it.
However, several tentacles suddenly reached out from the gray fog and entangled a few Sky-prides in a blink of an eye, dragging them into it.
The turn of events caused everyone’s expression to change greatly.
“What in the world is that?”
“Let’s leave, quickly!”
A crowd of Sky-prides dashed towards the opposite direction of the gray fog. Chu Kuangren and Lei Ao also stopped their fight as both of them decided to leave temporarily.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren caught a glimpse of a few figures being trapped by the tentacles and were desperately trying to escape.
“It’s Nangong Huang and the others!”
Chu Kuangren frowned and leaped forth without hesitation towards them. He landed before them and let out a hard slash with the sacred blade in his hands !
The sword beam rushed forth and decimated the tentacles to bits!
“Elder Senior Brother!”
“How fortunate, it’s our Elder Senior Brother.”
Nangong Huang and the others were delighted.
Chu Kuangren however said with a stern expression, “Let’s go, quickly!”
“Elder senior brother, Lan Yu was also dragged into the fog just now.” Nangong Huang suddenly told him, making Chu Kuangren’s expression change drastically.
‘G*d d*mn it!’
That gray fog really was a mysterious one. There was no telling whether Lan Yu could be dead or alive after being dragged into it. Chu Kuangren’s anxiety rose within him, yet his gaze was as cold as ice.
“You guys leave first.” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
“Elder senior brother, do you…”
Murong Xuan’s expression changed as he wished to advise him, yet Chu Kuangren who seemingly knew what he was going to say coldly commanded. “Leave this place, now!”
“Let’s go now! We can’t be here holding our Elder Senior Brother back.”
Nangong Huang gritted his teeth and said.
They took a look at Chu Kuangren and left right after.
“Not to worry, I have the Immortal Body. Besides that, I really want to find out what kind mysterious beings are living within this gray fog! ” Chu Kuangren took a deep breath and rushed into the gray fog, with an extremely sturdy gaze in his eyes.
Far away, Lei Ao coldly commented upon seeing him do that. “Bold of him to rush into the Qi of Death, he’s basically seeking instant death.”
…
Within the gray fog.
A figure dashed right into it.
That figure was Chu Kuangren. Upon entering the mist, he suddenly felt a strange force exerting its pressure on him.
Under the influence of that strange force, his body felt like it had been drenched in acid. His skin and flesh was constantly being broken down and decomposed.
The Immortal Body ability started to activate, repairing the damage to his body quickly. Chu Kuangren then urged forth his spiritual power to cover his body, using that layer of spiritual power to hold back the peculiar corrosive ability of the fog.
“This gray mist can decompose and corrode living beings! I can’t stay here for long. I need to quickly find Lan Yu as soon as possible.” Chu Kuangren thought within his mind.
Based on Lan Yu’s abilities, even she would only be able to hold on for a while under this fog, only for a short period of time.
Chu Kuangren’s spiritual thoughts spread out in all directions as he kept searching for Lan Yu’s whereabouts.
Suddenly, his spiritual thoughts came into contact with a barrier and was reflected back at him. His gaze changed and he immediately let out a slash from his sword!
The overwhelming purple sword beam landed on the barrier, exploding with a boom!
However, Chu Kuangren could sense that the barrier was unscathed from his attack!
“There’s a barrier here. Can it be that it’s here to keep us trapped in this gray mist?” Chu Kuangren thought.
At that point, sounds of fighting and strange roaring voices could be heard from afar.
Chu Kuangren dashed towards the source of the sound and saw a group of tentacle monsters attacking and surrounding a lady.
“It’s her, Princess Linglong!” Chu Kuangren said in surprise, not expecting that her royal highness was also dragged into the strange gray fog.
Those tentacle beasts were very terrifying. Each of them had the cultivation level at the Battle Monarch Realm. Princess Linglong had trouble fending them off and could only dodge their attacks in haste embarrassingly.
“Chu Kuangren, save me!”
Princess Linglong had a very happy look on her face when she saw Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren turned his back instead without hesitation.
What a joke, he had to go find Lan Yu first.
Every second he wasted in this fog meant that Lan Yu could be even more in danger. Compared to Lan Yu, Princess Linglong was worthless in the eyes of Chu Kuangren!
Seeing Chu Kuangren leaving immediately made Princess Linglong enraged and anxious. She shouted again, “I know what is going on within this gray fog, help me please!”
Chu Kuangren’s footsteps stopped when he heard that.
The affected area of that gray fog was unknown and it would not be very effective if he were to look for Lan Yu aimlessly. However, if he could find out about the origins of that gray fog, then that might help somewhat him save her faster.
Thinking of that, Chu Kuangren made his move without a second thought.
The sacred sword slashed and out came that terrifying purple sword beam which pulverized the tentacles of those monsters in an instant!
A shrieking infant-like cry could be heard from those strange beasts. Following that, the beasts all locked on to Chu Kuangren, their eyes red with cruelty and killing intent as countless tentacles all darted towards Chu Kuangren.
“Are these the monsters hiding within the gray mist?
“Their cultivation levels are no joke.”
Chu Kuangren’s Eye of Revelation activated.
Strings of information all appeared hurriedly across his eyes.
Those monsters were also a type of Black Death Beast.
“Mutated Black Death Beast, cultivation level – peak of Battle Monarch Realm, developed and fed using the Qi of Death by the Black Light Sage, specifically used by him to capture living beings…”
Black Light Sage? Now who could this person be?
Chu Kuangren picked out the key information from those messages and suppressed his doubts for a while. Then, he told Princess Linglong. “Get behind me!”
Princess Linglong did not think twice and did as he said, quickly hiding behind Chu Kuangren.
“I don’t have time to waste dealing with you.” Chu Kuangren took out a jade bottle from his Yin and Yang ring and proceeded to smash it.
A burst of invisible dust spread out through the air. Chu Kuangren used his spiritual power to manipulate that dust and hurled it towards the Black Death Beasts surrounding him.
Upon coming into contact with it, those Black Death Beasts immediately let out a screeching cry as their bodies started to disintegrate into blood.
Around the time it took to take two or three breaths, the Black Death Beasts all turned into a puddle of blood and internal organs, exuding a foul disgusting stench.
Princess Linglong trembled at that sight. “The Threefold Dark Ruler Obliterating Dust!”
She had read about it in the old records but had never seen it in real life before. It’s terrifying power truly horrified her.
Those were peak Battle Monarch Black Death Beasts, and they all turned into a bloody puddle in such a short time. It was terrifying indeed!
“I can’t believe I wasted a bottle of Threefold Dark Ruler Obliterating Dust because of this. I hope you better know about the secrets here, if not I’ll make sure you will end up worse than if not similar to those beasts!” Chu Kuangren coldly told Princess Linglong as he glared at her.
