Chapter 686: Power of Faith, Thunder God Cult, Bring Out The God Flesh

“The people need something to believe in, so let them place their faith in me!” Chu Kuangren exclaimed justly.

The Seventh Tormentor went silent. He could only stare blankly at Chu Kuangren while his mind flashed back to a particular person.

“Mankind needs a king to lead them into victory, so let me be their king!”

That person in his memory had said something similar.

Similar words, spoken with the same heroism and triumph.

The Seventh Tormentor felt that the resemblance was becoming stronger.

“Well, I hope you know what you’re doing. You’ve now become the core of their beliefs. If such beliefs were to be shattered, there would only be calamity ahead.”

The Seventh Tormentor inhaled deeply and trusted Chu Kuangren, just like how he once chose to trust the figure in his past.

“I know, which is why I’ll never fail.”

Chu Kuangren said faintly.

After his conversation with the Seventh Tormentor, Chu Kuangren continued his discussion with Immemorial Sage and the rest. He then informed the Black Heaven Sect to settle its internal affairs for a while longer as his return would not be soon.

Late at night in the Black Heaven School.

Chu Kuangren was concentrating on his cultivation. After a few days of development, the students of the White Lotus School were beginning to convert into followers of the Black Heaven School.

The Black Heaven School was also expanding massively.

On top of that, Chu Kuangren had made another interesting observation. He noticed a new form of peculiar energy that was radiating from his body.

The energy was almost ethereal in nature. Unlike spiritual powers and Emperor qi, it was formless and invisible.

Nonetheless, Chu Kuangren knew the energy existed.

He just had no clue of how to harness it.

“Lil Ai, analyze this energy that’s around me.”

“Affirmative. Connecting to the universe’s consciousness… Completed. Analyzing the target… Completed. This is the Power of Faith, a form of soul energy. Its functions are…”

Chu Kuangren received the arrays of information in his mind.

The Power of Faith.

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up. It was the power that was needed by the gods.

“Can I absorb it?”

“The Power of Faith is a form of soul energy. Although your Universal Cauldron Physique can absorb all forms of strange energies that exist in the realm, the Power of Faith is not created from such a realm. You will require a special technique in order to absorb it,” said the Omniscient Spirit.

“The Gods must have a way of harnessing these energies. Looks like I must pay closer attention to them next time,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

If Chu Kuangren was to become the Black Heaven True God and be worshipped by billions of living entities, he must not miss out on such a massive opportunity.

…

On the other side.

At the God Worshipping Cult’s outpost, more than a dozen Emperors were congregating to discuss the demise of the religions.

“I didn’t think Chu Kuangren would resort to such a means. He’s one pesky person.”

A cloaked lady ground her teeth and said.

Counting the incident of Chu Kuangren halting the invasion of the Demonic Realm, this was the second time Chu Kuangren had ruined the God Worshipping Cult’s plan.

“Let’s find a way to rid this person. As long as he’s alive, it would be difficult for us to spread our gospel in Firmament Star.”

One of the Emperors suggested.

“Get rid of him? I wish it were that simple. Not only does Chu Kuangren possess the Heavenly Punishment energy, but his cultivation progress is simply incomprehensible. He’s already a Rank Nine Initial Emperor. Unless the cultivators of the Heavenly Imperial Realm or the Gods interfere, there’s no way we can rid that b*stard.”

“We’ve freed one Lesser God and one Intermediate God. There are also the two Greater Gods that reside in the ocean. But all of them are too busy fending off the Heavenly Tormentors and Heavenly Imperials for now. The only way is to free another God and tip the balance to our favor.”

“Unfortunately, we’ve reached the limits of our ability when we freed those Lower Gods. The only way we can do it within a short amount of time is to unearth the necessary treasures from the Godly Secret Realms.”

“Godly Secret Realms? I heard that the Thunder God Cult has recently uncovered such a realm and is currently exploring it. Perhaps they would discover some useful treasures, such as a godly weapon.”

The Emperors of the God Worshipping Cult muttered.

The cloaked lady heaved a deep sigh and interrupted. “We can’t place all of our bets on the Godly Secret Realm. The God Worshipping Cult has been growing in size for countless years. We can’t possibly be helpless against Chu Kuangren. It’s time to bring out… the God Flesh!”

The Emperors were appalled.

“Divine Maiden, you must think twice. We’ve only brought that many God Flesh to Firmament Star. These were meant to be our last resort against the Heavenly Imperials. Are you sure about it?”

“Indeed. Is it worth using it against Chu Kuangren? Why don’t we just gank up on him? I’m sure we can take him down.”

The cloaked lady uttered faintly, “The God Flesh will be deployed sooner or later anyway. There’s no better time to use it against Chu Kuangren.”

“If you insist.”

The other Emperors did not wish to challenge the Divine Maiden’s insistence. After all, they were not sure they could defeat Chu Kuangren either.

…

The Black Heaven School was developing at a rapid pace.

The foundations of the Fire God Cult, Water God Cult, and Frost God Cult had been uprooted in Barren Cloud Prefecture; all of their resources fallen into the Black Heaven School’s control.

Chu Kuangren now had a new target in mind.

The Dark Tiger Prefecture.

This place was overseen by an Emperor of a bestial tribe.

One of the religions had also been rapidly gaining traction within the prefecture, and it was called the Thunder God Cult.

The Thunder God Cult was Chu Kuangren’s next target.

“Master Tormentor, you have to be wary of the Thunder God Cult. There are three Emperors residing within the cult. Each of them is powerful and capable of harnessing the powers of their God. You must be careful when dealing with them.”

A dark-skinned brute said to Chu Kuangren.

The brute appeared to be one with a muscular physique and ruthless demeanor. He possessed a pair of faint yellowish bestial eyes that would instill an overwhelming sense of unease within whoever it stared at. He was none other than the Emperor who was in charge of the Dark Tiger Prefecture, the Dark Tiger Emperor.

The Dark Tiger Emperor was a ferocious ancient wild beast that once ruled over an era. However, he was nothing but tamed and respectful before Chu Kuangren.

As strong as the tiger may be, how could it compare itself against a Heavenly Tormentor?

“Thunder God, one of the thirty-three Venerable Gods to exist. I’ve heard that he’s also not the weakest amongst the Venerable Gods,” said Chu Kuangren with excitement.

The Gods could be categorized into Lesser Gods, Intermediate Gods, Greater Gods, and Venerable Gods.

There were a total of thirty-three Venerable Gods in Firmament Star, each of them commanding an army of minor Gods. The God Worshipping Cult was founded to worship the thirty-three Venerable Gods and their minor gods.

However, the Venerable Gods were not equal in power.

The Fire God, Water God, and Frost God were some of the weakest amongst the Venerable Gods. They were much weaker than the Thunder God.

From mankind’s very own archives, it was said that the Thunder God was at least the tenth most powerful Venerable God.
