The Wind Banana Leaf Fan in Chen Ku's hand was one of the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.
With a single sweep, it could command the element of wind and effortlessly blow someone a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
Now that they were within the chaos, the wind element surged boundlessly, forming some mysterious resonance with the endless astral winds within the chaos.
The astral winds were limitless, spanning billions of miles across the chaotic cosmos. It was a spectacular sight, stirring up unparalleled terror.
More importantly, Chen Ku moved with extraordinary speed.
Before Old Toad Ancestor could react, the Plantain Fan's divine might had already been fully unleashed!
Whoosh...
Whoosh...
The chaotic astral winds raged as a torrent swept through the area. Every strand of wind was like a bone-scraping blade—peerlessly sharp and unstoppable.
In but an instant, Old Toad Ancestor was swept into it, utterly incapable of resisting.
"Ah..."
In the blink of an eye, a rain of blood burst forth across the battlefield, scattering through the cosmos in a crimson spray.
Old Toad Ancestor screamed repeatedly. One only had to hear his cries to know the excruciating pain he was suffering.
Looking closely, his condition was even more miserable.
As the chaotic astral winds surged past, Old Toad Ancestor's body was pierced through again and again.
Great chunks of flesh flew through the air, raising a skyful of bloody mist.
In the most grievously wounded places, stark white bones could even be faintly seen.
Though Old Toad Ancestor circulated all the mana in his body, caught within the endless astral winds, he was like a drifting duckweed, unable to steady himself at all.
After a long while, the power of that sweep gradually dissipated into nothingness.
Old Toad Ancestor's Daoist robe had long since been shredded, and he was covered in wounds as blood streamed continuously from his body.
His entire body trembled. Still shaken by the aftermath, he stared at Chen Ku in disbelief.
To him, that previous strike had been nothing less than a life-ending catastrophe.
Of course, this also showed that although Old Toad Ancestor's cultivation was profound, his physical body was far from formidable.
Compared to Chen Ku's, it was the difference between heaven and earth!
"Heh, I was wondering who it was..."
"So it was merely my master and Martial Uncle's defeated foe."
Chen Ku cast Old Toad Ancestor a sidelong glance and spoke with a cold sneer.
Yet there was no surprise in his words.
In fact, the instant he had seen the Treasure Accumulation Pot earlier, he had already formed a suspicion.
After all, golden toads were symbols of attracting wealth, making them quite fitting for the Treasure Accumulation Pot.
Hearing this, Old Toad Ancestor's expression darkened, and rage boiled within him.
As the saying went, do not slap someone in the face or expose their shortcomings when insulting them.
Chen Ku's words struck straight at his heart!
However, having witnessed Chen Ku's terrifying strength, Old Toad Ancestor had no retort and fell silent for a moment.
Only the fury in his eyes continued to rise, seeming almost tangible.
At that moment, Corpse Puppet Daoist on the other side also came to his senses.
"Fellow Daoist Golden Toad, you..."
Clearly, he had not expected the one who had attacked in secret to be Old Toad Ancestor, and his face was filled with shock.
But before Corpse Puppet Daoist could finish speaking—
Old Toad Ancestor snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:
"Say no more!"
"You and I will join forces and kill this brat first."
"Then we can divide his spirit treasures afterward. What do you say?!"
Old Toad Ancestor reacted quickly as well.
He knew that after Chen Ku's latest advancement, neither he nor Corpse Puppet Daoist could suppress Chen Ku alone.
Thus, he immediately proposed joining forces.
As for how Chen Ku's spirit treasures would be divided, it would not be too late to decide after the battle was over.
Hearing this, Corpse Puppet Daoist pondered for a moment before nodding.
At present, this was their only option.
"Fine, we shall do as Fellow Daoist Golden Toad says!"
As soon as the words fell, the two attacked once more.
Perhaps having learned from their earlier failure, Corpse Puppet Daoist and Old Toad Ancestor held nothing back this time.
With furious shouts, they each summoned their good corpses.
Both had already severed one corpse, allowing them to use it as a clone to face Chen Ku together.
Although the cultivation of their good corpses was inferior to that of their true bodies, the difference was not great.
For a moment, four figures stood in the field, their auras fierce and their pressure intimidating.
Such oppressive force was clearly even more astonishing than the battlefield of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.
Yet Chen Ku merely sneered at the sight.
"Only one corpse? Nothing impressive!"
He held the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, its emerald radiance shimmering and interweaving, without showing the slightest fear.
At the same time, the enormous Dharma Body above his head also reached out with one hand.
The Limitless Bracelet immediately appeared and was grasped in the Dharma Body's hand.
One had to know that this Dharma Body of Chen Ku's was one of the Three Buddha Bodies. Its strength was equal to Chen Ku's true body, and both possessed the cultivation of a Grand Golden Immortal.
This technique had originally been based upon Severing the Three Corpses, making up for its flaws while evolving even more powerful divine might.
It was vastly more powerful than the method of Severing the Three Corpses.
The Dharma Body raised its palm, and the Limitless Bracelet shone brilliantly as it tore through the void and descended directly.
Divine radiance surged mightily, stirring up overwhelming terror!
A flash of tribulation light shot toward the two good corpses.
Boom!
Boom!
Two muffled explosions rang out. The good corpses summoned by Old Toad Ancestor and Corpse Puppet Daoist shattered at once, not even having time to unleash any divine abilities or Dao arts.
In the blink of an eye, only two unidentified spirit treasures remained, falling at the feet of the pair and emitting dim light.
Seeing this, Corpse Puppet Daoist and Old Toad Ancestor exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and horror.
Chen Ku's combat power was simply too terrifying!
Their good corpses, which they had relied upon so heavily, had not even withstood a single strike before being directly destroyed?!
Moreover, this had only been Chen Ku's Dharma Body making a move, not his true body launching an attack.
This was precisely the limitation of the method of Severing the Three Corpses.
The power of a severed corpse depended on the rank and power of the spirit treasure it was entrusted to.
The spirit treasures these two had used to sever their corpses were not considered top-tier.
Thus, their good corpses were naturally unable to withstand a single blow.
Even with the two good corpses joining forces, they could not block one strike from the Limitless Bracelet.
"Damn it!"
"After advancing, this brat really has become terrifying!"
Old Toad Ancestor cursed under his breath.
A trace of regret had already arisen in his heart.
Provoking Chen Ku today might have been an extremely unwise decision.
Hearing this, Corpse Puppet Daoist said in a muffled voice:
"What use is there in saying that now?!"
"We have already drawn the bow and have no choice but to fire."
"We must kill this brat at any cost. Otherwise, the ones who die may be the two of us."
Corpse Puppet Daoist's words left Old Toad Ancestor speechless.
At this point, they had long since lost any path of retreat!
The two could only force themselves to calm down and prepare to attack.
But in the next moment, their expressions changed drastically.
There was no other reason!
At that moment, Chen Ku's true body moved as well.
He unleashed the great divine ability Star Chasing Moon Grasping, and Chen Ku's speed reached its absolute limit.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from where he stood, impossible to track.
If Chen Ku had once been able to trade blows evenly with Corpse Puppet Daoist before his breakthrough,
then now, as a Grand Golden Immortal, Chen Ku had become an existence whose strength neither Corpse Puppet Daoist nor Old Toad Ancestor could fathom.
Their scalps went numb and chills ran down their spines. Without time to think, they immediately tried to pull away and retreat.
But it was already too late.
Chen Ku's figure appeared directly above their heads.
In the next instant, the Tathagata Divine Palm appeared once more. The palm imprint became ever more vast and boundless, terrifying beyond measure.
Accompanied by the thunderous roar of the Great Dao, this palm suddenly descended from the heavens.
Corpse Puppet Daoist and Old Toad Ancestor were completely unprepared!
They could only watch helplessly as the palm imprint grew ever larger, until it finally blotted out everything.
The two shuddered violently, and their previously surging auras abruptly stagnated.
Then, both of them fell completely unconscious!
With one palm, he severely wounded two Quasi-Saints!
This scene was utterly explosive and world-shaking!
