Chapter 1020 Lin Yan’s Ambition, Destroying Holy Divine Fire Cult
Far away, in the void, a strange look appeared on Chu Kuangren’s face when he felt the evilest qi coming from the Golden Ridge Temple.
“Oh, this aura… Did I miss something just now? Interesting.” He pondered for a while but did not go back.
He was now approaching the Holy Divine Fire Cult.
As for the evilest thing, he would kill it if he encountered it in the future. After all, it was no big deal to him.
At that moment, in the Holy Divine Fire Cult, the Holy Divine Fire Cult Ruler became worried after learning that Chu Kuangren had destroyed the Holy City and Golden Ridge Temple.
“I would not have provoked Chu Kuangren if I knew he was so powerful. Now, a catastrophe is imminent,” said the Divine Fire Cult Leader bitterly.
In front of him, Lin Yan took a deep breath, dissatisfied.
Since he returned from Penglai Island the last time, he had been cultivating painstakingly, trying to catch up with Chu Kuangren.
However, before he could make much progress, he heard the news that Chu Kuangren had destroyed a few orthodoxies’ armies by himself.
He was shocked to learn of the news, but at the same time, he was extremely unhappy.
He was a Fated One who possessed the will of the Immortal World and cultivated Divine Fire Great Dao. Yet, why was Chu Kuangren always in his limelight?!
Now, when the outside world mentioned sky-pride, the first thing that came to their minds was Chu Kuangren. As for him and the rest, they had become foils.
“Lin Yan, take this.”
At that moment, the Divine Fire Cult Leader took out a Three-legged Copper Cauldron.
The cauldron was quaint and had a mysterious rune carved on it that gave people an enigmatic feeling.
“What’s this?”
For some reason, the cauldron resonated with Lin Yan as if it should belong to him. “This is an item that the Holy Divine Fire Cult has passed down for generations. It is rumored that it contains some secrets, but the previous Cult Leaders have not been able to figure it out.”
“Now, I shall pass it to you, and you will leave Holy Divine Fire Cult immediately. If you can discover the secrets of this copper cauldron, you may have a chance to defeat Chu Kuangren and rebuild the Holy Divine Fire Cult.”
Upon hearing that, Lin Yan took the copper cauldron with a firm look in his eyes. “Rest assured, Cult Leader. I, as a Fated One, have great fortune with me. I’ll seek vengeance for you and the rest!”
After that, he turned and left without looking back.
‘Chu Kuangren, just you wait!
‘I’m not weaker than you!’
The Divine Fire Cult Leader shook his head as he watched Lin Yan leave. He did not actually expect Lin Yan to rebuild Holy Divine Fire Cult.
He could tell that Lin Yan was a merciless person, and it was impossible for him to have any feelings for Holy Divine Fire Cult.
The reason he allowed Lin Yan to leave with the copper cauldron was simple — he hoped that Lin Yan would bring trouble to Chu Kuangren in the future.
“Chu Kuangren, the Battle of Destiny isn’t over yet. The contest between you, the anomaly, and the Fated One have just begun.”
“Do you think you can get the last laugh?” Divine Fire Cult Leader mumbled.
Suddenly, a terrifying might erupted outside Holy Divine Fire Cult. It was so overwhelming that it swept out in all directions!
The Divine Fire Cult Leader’s expression changed. “He’s here!”
In Holy Divine Fire Cult headquarters, countless cultivators gathered and looked at the figure in white who walked out from the void with horror in their eyes.
“H-He’s here!”
“Chu Kuangren has come!”
Swish…
A flash of firelight swept out rapidly from the headquarters with the power of an Immortal’s Core. In the blink of an eye, it welcomed Chu Kuangren in the face.
“Oh.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes narrowed. He formed a sword hand sign and attacked the firelight.
Sparks splattered everywhere with a bang.
Then, a person walked out of the firelight.
He was Divine Fire Cult Leader, whose cultivation base was equal to that of the Seven Crowns, both were in the Ninth-grade Immortal Realm.
“Chu Kuangren, you want to destroy the Holy Divine Fire Cult? Over my dead body,” said Divine Fire Cult Leader.
He clenched his fist and smashed it toward a mountain in the distance.
The mountain exploded, followed by golden flames rising into the sky and burning like a torch.
Flame currents surged wildly between the realm.
“Ignite divine fire and attack!” As the Divine Fire Cult Leader yelled, the surrounding flame currents dashed toward him and merged into his body, strengthening the aura in his body.
“It looks like this is your trump card,” said Chu Kuangren.
With a wave of his sleeves, a violet guqin emerged before him.
It was the Immortal Weapon, Cloud Nine Insignia!
“The Eight Celestial Demonic Chords shall send you to your deathbeds.”
“Bring it on!” The Divine Fire Cult Leader sneered.
Boom!
The divine fire burned and surged toward Chu Kuangren from all directions.
Chu Kuangren simply stood still and picked the strings with his fingers. As a sharp zing sounded, the first movement of Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, namely Boundless Overworld, resounded through the vast sky!
The sound of guqin music swept across the sky and shattered the divine fire.
Its power even spread to the bottom, causing Holy Divine Fire Cult’s disciples to drop dead under the attack of the guqin music.
Not far away, the Sword Crown was impressed
“Master’s guqin music is horrifying.”
He knew that Chu Kuangren had destroyed a few orthodoxies’ armies by himself through guqin music, but witnessing it with his eyes was better than hearing about it.
Chu Kuangren’s power shocked him tremendously, yet at the same time, he felt a sense of urgency.
Chu Kuangren’s strength was incredible. How would he be able to help his Master in the future if he did not make progress?
“When we return, I’ll have to find a time for closed-door meditation,” mumbled the Sword Crown.
He may have lost to the Saber Crown again, but he had gained something too. Through the battle, he had reached the threshold to the Earthen Immortal Realm.
On top of Cai Yi’s death, which completely cut off all his feelings of affection, he was no longer tied to anything. Therefore, breaking through to the Earthen Immortal Realm was as sure as a gun to him.
Ding, ding, ding… Chu Kuangren’s guqin music reverberated everywhere.
The music was like thunder, attacking one after another, and the Divine Fire Cult Leader could not fight against it. He was destined to be defeated even if he fought with all his strength!
“Synchronous Overworld Anarchy!”
The Seventh Movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords rang out!
Terrifying musical sound waves turned the entire Holy Divine Fire Cult headquarters upside down, killing countless disciples.
Having received the brunt of the impact, Divine Fire Cult Leader’s Immortal Physique exploded!
“The Cult Leader… is dead?!” a cultivator uttered in shock.
“Retreat!”
“Demon! He’s a demon!”
All cultivators started to flee in a panic. However, at that sight, the Sword Crown made a sword hand sign, and sword qi filled the air.
Chu Kuangren ignored the situation when he saw that.
After a while, the Holy Divine Fire Cult was… destroyed!
Chu Kuangren looked into the distance and wondered for a while.
Among those who besieged him, only the Divine Dragon Island and Honorable Yokai Hall were left. However, both of those orthodoxies originated from the ancient Immortal World, and their backgrounds were unlike an immortal orthodoxy like Holy Divine Fire Cult, for they were very powerful.
Chu Kuangren suspected that there might be Heavenly Immortals protecting those orthodoxies.
The Heavenly Immortals’ Dao Techniques were mighty. With Chu Kuangren’s current strength, he was still quite a distance away from competing with them head-on.
“More importantly, the Three-day Immortal Ascension Pill’s effect is about to pass. I should first return to the academy and breakthrough to become an Immortal for real,” mumbled Chu Kuangren.
As he said that, his Immortal’s Core fluctuation receded like a tide.
Beside him, the Sword Crown was surprised. “It seems like Master has used some means to force your breakthrough to the Immortal Realm.”
In the Immortal World, many people were paying attention to Chu Kuangren’s actions, and they noticed his rapidly dissipating Immortal’s Core fluctuation.
“It looks like Chu Kuangren hasn’t become an Immortal yet.”
“He probably has used some secret method or even consumed some precious herbs to break through to become an Immortal.”
