Chapter 1157: Celestial Demon Qi In Display, Northern Darkness Palm Overpowering A Gilded Immortal, Hearing Things

“How dare you kill my grandson?!”

The man wore a grim look that was filled with killing intent. He was Hu Qing’s grandfather, the Ninth Elder of Three Clarity Daoist Sect.

He was a Gilded Immortal!

His terrifying Gilded Immortal’s energy erupted and enveloped Chu Kuangren. Under the mighty presence of a Gilded Immortal, Chu Kuangren looked tiny. However, he was not afraid.

“The Battle of Heavenly Champions is a battle of life and death. What is so surprising about it?”

“You…” The Ninth Elder was livid. He clearly saw Chu Kuangren going straight for Hu Qing.

There were a number of Heavenly Champions present, and Chu Kuangren did not even attack Cheng Yun, who made the first move. Instead, he went straight for Hu Qing, who came later, and killed him without any mercy.

“Don’t take me as a fool. You came here because of Shang Honghua, and you used the name of the challenge to avenge her.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled at Ninth Elder’s claims. Then, he replied coldly, “So you do know.”

“So what? Shang Honghua is not even a Heavenly Champion. She has no right to be treated equally as my grandson!”

“Your grandson lost to Shang Honghua, yet he abused his power to suppress the news. He even used his relationship with you to oppress her and injured her during the Daoist School try-out. Am I wrong to avenge her?”

Chu Kuangren’s voice echoed throughout the entire Three Clarity Daoist Sect, and it shocked everyone.

The Heavenly Champions might have a higher position than others in Three Clarity Daoist Sect, but as long as the other cultivators presented sufficient talent or potential, they would still gain the chance to be promoted to a position similar to the Heavenly Champions.

At least, that was what the elders told them.

Yet now, someone had used the relationship with the elder to oppress a great candidate and almost caused her to lose her life.

It struck the chord of the disciples who were still trying to reach for the higher position. They were very disappointed, to say the least.

“What? How could he do that?”

“How could the Ninth Elder do something like that? If we become stronger than the Heavenly Champions, will something similar happen to us?”

“No, the sect must give us an explanation today.”

The elders reacted bitterly, and the disciples got riled up because of Chu Kuangren’s revelation. If no measures were taken, the disciples would be discouraged, and it would be difficult for the sect to last.

With that in mind, the other elders shifted the blame to the Ninth Elder.

Ninth Elder knew the inglorious things he did, and when he was exposed, his expression turned ugly.

“Chu Kuangren, stop spreading lies. Even if you are a Heavenly Champion bearing the fate of the future, and I might not be able to kill you, I can easily subdue you.”

The will of the Immortal World had set up a restriction regarding the Battle of Heavenly Champions. Arch Gilded Immortals were not allowed to interfere, and the older generations of elites might suffer great karmic consequences if they interfered.

The lesser consequences would be a stunt in one’s cultivation level, and the severe consequences would be a disastrous outcome befalling that causes one to die in vain.

Ninth Elder, however, believed that as long as he did not hurt Chu Kuangren and just subdue or seal him up, the karmic consequences that followed might not be too severe. Given his Gilded Immortal status, he might even be able to withstand it.

“Oh, do you want to give it a try?” Chu Kuangren said with no fear as he stood in his place.

“You’re asking for it!”

Ninth Elder bellowed and made the first move. The moment he transformed into a stream of light, the power of a Gilded Immortal enveloped Chu Kuangren whole.

A Gilded Immortal was above a Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal.

Being a Gilded Immortal meant that one had gone through a myriad of disastrous trials, yet his gilded physical form remained indestructible, hence the name.

Moreover, a Gilded Immortal was a lot stronger than a Heavenly or a True Immortal. Even a slither of a Gilded Immortal’s power could easily overpower a Heavenly Immortal.

Although Chu Kuangren might be able to rival a top-tier Heavenly Immortal, he was no match for a Gilded Immortal.

As such, everyone thought Chu Kuangren would die. However, even under such dire conditions, Chu Kuangren remained as calm as still water.

At the next moment, a gray mist gushed out from his body.

The gray mist crushed Ninth Elder’s Gilded Immortal energy and forced him back.

“What’s this?!” Ninth Elder stared at the mist in shock.

Within the mist, substantial darkness rumbled, and a terrifying and domineering aura spread across the plane like the rising tide.

The whole Three Clarity Daoist Sect was blanketed by the aura, striking fear into the cultivators’ hearts.

Even Ninth Elder showed a hint of fear on his face.

“Deceiving tricks! Off you go!”

With that, Ninth Elder made his second move. This time, he channeled his Immortal’s Core energy to its limit and pointed at Chu Kuangren. Then, his finger transformed into a gigantic emerald finger.

It was the Three Clarity Daoist Sect’s Immortal Technique, Jade Void Finger!

“The feeling of this energy… Is this a cultivator from the Three Clarity Tribe?!”

A chuckle came from within the gray mist.

Following that, a robust hand emerged and grabbed the Jade Void Finger. The moment the hand touched the finger, the finger cracked and eventually crumbled into spiritual qi.

As the gray mist retracted, a figure emerged from it.

It was a middle-aged man in black robes and thick black hair. The tough look on his face granted him an intimidating presence.

He stood in the air, and the vast energy around him made him the center of attraction in the realm.

“Are you the one trying to harm one of the Celestial Demon Tribe?” Bei Ming looked at Ninth Elder.

It was just a simple question, but it struck the Ninth Elder with fear. Sweat covered his forehead, and his body started shaking.

Indomitable! The figure in black before his eyes was of an indomitable existence!

Ninth Elder could feel every cell in his body screaming, telling him to run as far as possible from Bei Ming.

“I’ll take your silence as a yes,” Bei Ming said.

Then, he raised his hand to the sky. Dark clouds rumbled and gathered around him. In a split second, the sunny day turned gloomy.

Thick darkness emanated from within the dark clouds.

All who sensed the darkness felt like they had fallen into the abyss of the Arctic Ocean, where it was freezing and dead silent.

Then, a giant palm of ink emerged from the dark clouds and descended upon Ninth Elder.

“No! No!” Horror was written all over Ninth Elder’s face, and fear enveloped him whole. He had never felt so scared before.

He channeled his Immortal’s Core energy to the limit and launched his ultimate move.

However, his Gilded Immortal’s power sank right into Northern Darkness Palm, like mud dissolving into the sea. It did nothing at all.

To others, Ninth Elder’s enormous Gilded Immortal’s power was like child’s play in front of Northern Darkness Palm.

“Daoist Brother, stop!”

A voice came from further away, followed by a powerful aura. It belonged to someone far more powerful than the Ninth Elder. It was an Arch Gilded Immortal!

However, Bei Ming could not care less about the Arch Gilded Immortal’s energy. The inky palm from the dark clouds did not stop. On the contrary, it descended even faster.

Kaboom!

Ninth Elder, a Gilded Immortal, was crushed into a cloud of blood mist. His physical body and Immortal Soul were all erased from the face of the world.

Bei Ming looked at Chu Kuangren. “Did you hear someone stopping me just now?”

Chu Kuangren said, “I heard nothing.”

“Oh, I must be hearing things then.”
