As the formation technique trapped the dead souls, the dead souls were, in turn, trapped by their respective obsessions!
Having understood why the countless dead souls remained in the Arcane Deity Sect, Chu Kuangren could not help but shake his head.
As the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, he was extremely uncomfortable knowing that there were dead souls who could not reincarnate. Furthermore, the number of dead souls stuck in here was simply ridiculous.
âJust look at these dead souls that arenât going to reincarnate. If everyone does this, whatâs my Underworld cityâs reincarnation mechanism for? Decoration?â
âHmph!â
At that thought, Chu Kuangren mobilized his thoughts, and a huge surge of Yin qi suddenly erupted!
The towering Gates of Hell appeared out of thin air!
With the Gates of Hellâs appearance, the suppressive force weighing upon the dead souls increased many times more. The onlooking sky-prides inside the Arcane Deity Sect, too, noticed the change in the dead soulsâ behavior.
âThatâs the Gates of Hells!â
âIs a successor from the Underworld here?â The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist, who was venturing deeper into the Arcane Deity Sect, said with a slight frown.
Beside him, the Great Arbiter Divine Maiden chuckled. âEven the Underworldâs successor will find it hard to summon the whole Gates of Hell. Only one person I know can do it.â
âThe Ghost Emperor, Chu Kuangren!â said the Eastern Sky Divine Daoist with a stern look in his eyes.
âSo, heâs here as well.â
Zi Yuhan looked at the Gates of Hell in the distance. Even he was stunned by that magnificent Gates of Hell.
However, he still believed he would win against Chu Kuangren.
He was confident in himself.
âNo one can stand a chance against the Violet Eye clanâs soul techniques!â
Besides, even if the Immortal Hallâs Imperial Commander or Divine Daoist were his opponents, he would still be confident in fighting them. With his Violet Eye clanâs soul techniques, he had nothing to fear!
After all, he had battled a fair share of opponents with a higher cultivation level than him. However, all of them died in his hands in the end.
Meanwhile, Yu Zhi of the Jade Pool and Qing Feng were already at the deepest part of the Arcane Deity Sect.
They arrived at a palace, where there was a statue of a peerless and elegant woman inside.
Just when the two ladies entered the palace, the towering Gates of Hell appeared in the distance, causing the ground to rumble.
âThat looks like the Gates of Hell!â
âItâs Brother Chu!â
Yu Zhi was overjoyed when she saw the Gates of Hell.
Qing Feng, on the other hand, was surprised by Yu Zhiâs reaction. After all, Yu Zhi had always kept an emotionless appearance when it came to the advances of men and would rarely express her joy in front of anyone.
Since Qing Feng had traveled with Yu Zhi for a long time, Qing Feng naturally knew who Yu Zhi was referring to.
âChu Kuangren, the one with a non-existent destiny. So, we meet again, huh? Is Chu Hong doing well, I wonder?â Qing Feng murmured.
âMaiden Sage, letâs enter the palace first.â
âAlright,â said Yu Zhi, who was excited to see what treasures the West Ruler Matriarch had left behind.
She also could not wait to see Chu Kuangren again.
â¦
As the Gates of Hell appeared, a powerful suction force spread outward. Then, the countless dead souls were all sucked into it and sent to the Underworldâs Fengdu City.
Under the influence of the reincarnation mechanism there, those dead souls would gradually regain their consciousness.
Chu Kuangren had also notified Bai Mei, Ao Yue, and the others beforehand, ordering them to be prepared to receive the dead souls from the Underworldâs side.
While the dead souls were continuously sent to Fengdu City, the whole Arcane Deity Sect trembled, and a surge of mysterious energy seeped out from the ground below.
That peculiar energy was resisting the Gates of Hellâs power.
Eventually, more and more dead souls broke free from the Gates of Hellâs effects.
âOh.â
Chu Kuangrenâs gaze narrowed as he looked below.
He knew that the great formation beneath the Arcane Deity Sect was affecting his Gates of Hell.
âHow dare a mere formation technique foil my plan to reincarnate the dead souls! Hmph. In that case, you shall cease to exist!â He let out a cold snort. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
An incredible burst of Immortalâs Core energy erupted from him, and it attacked the surface of the ground!
Under the impact of that terrifying energy, almost the entire Arcane Deity Sect shook. As the ground cracked open, and the surrounding landscapes leveled, a few mysterious Daoist patterns shone from the ground.
That was the great formation beneath the Arcane Deity Sect.
Chu Kuangren moved his foot and stomped like a god. The whole area shook while the Daoist patterns underground beneath weakened and dimmed. With Chu Kuangrenâs action, the formation trembled non-stop.
The next instant, the ground beneath Chu Kuangrenâs feet rumbled, and out came a mountain from the ground below!
Chu Kuangren stood at the mountainâs peak, his cold eyes glaring at the great formation deep beneath the Arcane Deity Sect.
âWhat⦠What is he trying to do?â
Many sky-prides were stunned and confused by Chu Kuangrenâs actions. None of them had any idea what he was doing.
However, judging by his rising energy level, everyone could tell that Chu Kuangren was going to do something incredible!
âDescendant Self.â
When Chu Kuangren called out softly to his sword, his Descendant Self Sword unsheathed itself from his waist. Amidst the dazzling Immortal Sparks, its countless Dao Proclamation Seals lit up one after another on the body of that sword and emanated a boundless sword aura!
The moment he held his sword, Chu Kuangrenâs aura peaked.
The Hundred Academyâs Three Great Conjurations appeared in the air!
His Battle Secret Technique was unleashed!
His Green Leaf Sword Vision activated!
âBlade of Zhou, Infinite Void!â
With a cold grunt, devastating surges of sword qi rose into the sky, where countless Daoist patterns intertwined to form a horrifying sword shadow that could seemingly destroy everything!
That attack was nothing short of terrifying!
As the sword shadow fell from the sky, the space itself tore open!
Boom!
Following a tremendous explosion, everything as far as the naked eye could see was split in half by that sword qi attack!
The great formation of the Arcane Deity Sect broke down right away!
Having withstood the passage of time, the formation technique was already severely weakened. On top of that, when Chu Kuangren attacked, he aimed at the formation techniqueâs weakest location, which Lil Aiâs analysis showed him.
Once the formation technique was destroyed, the Gates of Hellâs power erupted once again to suck the countless dead souls into it.
Soon, the whole area was emptied of any dead souls.
With a wave of his sleeves, the Gates of Hell instantly disappeared.
The spectating sky-prides from afar had yet to recover from their shock.
âWhat a horrifying technique.â
âThat attack of his split the whole Arcane Deity Sect into half. Itâs simply unbelievable.â
âNot only that, but he sent all the dead souls here to the Underworld. Is that his Ghost Emperorâs authority?â
Everyone was stunned by the series of events that happened.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren, who had come down from the mountain peak, gazed into the depths of the Arcane Deity Sect and said, âLetâs go.â
He was going to venture into the Arcane Deity Sect with Iceworm Ru Xue and Shi Ying.
At that moment, Iceworm Feng and the others approached them. He immediately called out to Iceworm Ru Xue, âStop.â
âWhatâs the matter?â
âIceworm Ru Xue, have you really recognized Chu Kuangren as your master? Did he threaten you to do this?â
Iceworm Feng took a deep breath and asked.
He was still holding onto that last sliver of hope. He wanted to believe that Iceworm Ru Xue was forced to serve Chu Kuangren and not of her own will.
Well, she was forced to do so at the beginning.
However, things were different now.
She felt that she would have a better future staying by Chu Kuangrenâs side as he was someone who could expand her views of the world!
âThis is a matter concerning me and my Master, Iceworm Feng. Thereâs no need for you to care.â
âMaster? Iceworm Ru Xue, have you lost your pride? Just look at yourself, calling him your âMasterâ. Have you forgotten your identity as the Frost Dragon Mountainâs Prodigy?â
Iceworm Feng was disappointed to hear what Iceworm Ru Xue said.
Not only he but even the Iceworm clan members were staring daggers at Iceworm Ru Xue, their faces red with anger.
Some among them even had eyes filled with hatred.
It was as if Iceworm Ru Xue herself was at fault for ruining their image of her as a goddess.
Upon seeing that, Iceworm Ru Xue felt a stab of pain in her heart.
She had risked her life to save her clan members, only to receive their hate and disdain.
She had had enough of them.
âIâm going to go now. Farewell.â
Not wanting to stay any longer, Icerworm Ru Xue turned around and was about to leave.
âNo, you must give us an explanation today! We canât allow you to trample the Frost Dragon Mountainâs image just like that!â
Iceworm Feng wanted to stop her.
However, he immediately froze in place the next instant because Chu Kuangrenâs gaze had landed on him. âWhat kind of explanation do you want?â
