The power of the Hongmeng Purple Qi filled every corner of his body.
Chu Kuangren felt that he could now easily shatter heaven and earth and hold them in his grasp. The sensation left him somewhat entranced.
And at that moment, his cultivation rose once again!
The Venerable Realm!
He possessed a Supreme Dao Body and the Three Supreme Foundations, and he cultivated Sage Laws and Sage King Laws. As a Venerable, he was far too terrifying!
Just as he used the Hongmeng Purple Qi to advance into the Venerable Realm, that boundless, terrifying pressure, which surpassed even a Supreme Supreme's, surged like a tsunami, battering heaven and earth.
Under that terrifying pressure, the so-called Heavenly Wilderness Heaven-Locking Formation began cracking inch by inch before abruptly collapsing with a tremendous boom!
The vast pressure swept out in every direction.
All of White Cloud City was shaken!
Every cultivator, even the Venerables, paled at that instant and stared toward the City Lord's Manor in utter terror.
"What is going on with this pressure and this Daoist Rhyme?!"
"Even a Supreme Supreme would be no greater than this!"
"Could White Cloud Sword Venerable be about to undergo his tribulation?"
"No, that's not right. This Daoist Rhyme doesn't belong to White Cloud Sword Venerable. It's unfamiliar. Just what mighty figure has descended?"
"Good heavens, isn't this pressure far too terrifying?"
Every cultivator was stunned.
Most cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage were forced to prostrate themselves on the ground by that vast pressure, trembling all over. Only those at Nascent Soul or above could remain standing, and only those in the Void Insight realm retained the ability to move.
Many cultivators grumbled inwardly. Who was this mighty figure? Did they not know to rein in their pressure? Were they really this arrogant?
Unfortunately, they did not know.
The source of this pressure had still been a Nascent Soul cultivator just a few minutes earlier.
Chu Kuangren's pressure shook White Cloud City, and quite a few powerful cultivators hurried to the City Lord's Manor, only to be greeted by ruins.
"Someone attacked the City Lord's Manor?"
"Who would be so bold? Was it whoever is releasing this pressure?"
"Look, that young man... how is this possible?!"
Upon arriving at the City Lord's Manor, everyone immediately sought the source of the pressure, and they immediately noticed Chu Kuangren.
A young man, a Supreme Supreme?
They found it inconceivable.
That was especially true of Li Ye, who had rushed over from White Jade Tower.
He had still been a Nascent Soul cultivator when they met yesterday. How had he become a Supreme Supreme today? This, this... was he dreaming?
Li Ye felt as though the entire world had become unreal.
"Go! Bai Feng, all of you, get out of here!"
Li Ruolan shouted at Ye Baifeng and the others.
Even she, a Venerable, found this pressure terrifying, let alone Ye Baifeng and the others. Staying here would mean certain death!
"Go? Where do you think you're going?" Chu Kuangren said coolly. Vast Sword Qi then erupted between heaven and earth, weaving into twelve towering pillars of Sword Qi that enveloped the entire City Lord's Manor like a prison.
A Dao Body Phenomenon, the Nine Heavens Sword Prison!
Once the Sword Prison appeared, there was nowhere to flee throughout the nine heavens and ten lands!
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Li Ruolan clenched her teeth, and crimson flames erupted from her, weaving into a gigantic red lotus around her.
She actually pushed her spiritual power to its absolute limit, risking damage to her own foundations to forcibly unleash power comparable to a Supreme Being's.
The gigantic red lotus was breathtakingly beautiful as it bore down on Chu Kuangren. Its terrifying power nearly warped the void wherever it passed.
"If that's all you've got, then submit to being suppressed!" Chu Kuangren said indifferently. Then all of White Cloud City began shaking violently.
Beneath White Cloud City, tremendous Earth Qi surged forth, condensing before Chu Kuangren into a primordial divine mountain over a thousand zhang tall!
The divine mountain descended, instantly crushing the flaming red lotus to pieces!
Li Ruolan screamed and was instantly crushed to death!
A powerful cultivator close to becoming a Supreme Being had fallen before everyone's eyes.
"My beloved wife!"
White Cloud Sword Venerable roared in anguish, charging toward Chu Kuangren with bloodshot eyes as he unleashed the full might of a Supreme Supreme!
He slashed, and silvery-white sword light blotted out the sky and sun as it descended!
Few in the entire Azure Dragon Domain could withstand that strike!
"Let me show you what a true sword is!" Chu Kuangren stood upon a thirty-six-petaled Sword Qi Azure Lotus, the supreme Heavenly Dao Sword hovering above his head!
He possessed the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Sword Heart, and with his cultivation now soaring, he was confident he could suppress even a supreme Sword Venerable in the Dao of the sword.
As the two great phenomena unfolded, every sword in the city trembled.
Countless swords flew from their sheaths and plunged point-first into the ground, their blades bending as though they were people prostrating themselves in worship!
At that moment, ten thousand swords bowed in worship!
Every swordsman stared blankly at the wondrous sight before them.
Above the City Lord's Manor, facing the strike unleashed by the enraged White Cloud Sword Venerable, Chu Kuangren gripped Kunwu and likewise delivered a slash!
Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art!
Purple sword light erupted like a raging flood!
Every cultivator who witnessed that sword light, even a Supreme Being like Li Ye, felt their scalp prickle and their entire body turn cold!
This was a sword of the purest, most terrifying offensive power!
The two beams of sword light collided in midair, and the two Daoist Rhymes met in the void. An unimaginably terrifying impact shook the heavens and earth.
Above White Cloud City, the clouds churned and rolled back endlessly. Under that terrifying impact, an enormous hole was torn through them.
The flood of sword light shattered the other beam of sword light.
White Cloud Sword Venerable's expression changed drastically. He raised his sword to block the sword light, but its immense force made him cough up blood. His body slammed into the ground like a cannonball, creating an enormous crater.
A mighty Supreme Supreme should have cut an imposing figure, yet now he knelt on one knee in the crater, his hair disheveled over his shoulders and blood spilling from his lips, utterly bedraggled.
A trace of regret appeared in his eyes.
Had he known this would happen, he would never have coveted Chu Kuangren's Hongmeng Purple Qi. Then his beloved wife would not have died, and the City Lord's Manor would not have been reduced to this.
But everything was already settled!
There were medicines for everything in this world, but none for regret!
"My next strike will slay you!"
Chu Kuangren's voice echoed through the heavens.
Terrifying Daoist Rhyme continued rising from his body. All three great phenomena of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Sword Heart manifested at once, and he pushed his Golden Jade Dao Body to its limit as well.
Kunwu trembled.
Upon its edge, purple sword light was poised to strike!
White Cloud Sword Venerable knew he might not withstand this strike. He roared, "Chu Kuangren has the Yuanling Treasure Vault!"
Those words changed the expressions of everyone present.
Supreme Yuanling's treasure vault was actually in Chu Kuangren's possession!
"Heh, planning to deny me peace even after you die? Such petty tricks aren't worth mentioning. I'd like to see who in this world dares covet what's mine!" Chu Kuangren laughed heartily and swung his sword!
The surging sword light engulfed White Cloud Sword Venerable!
It also swept up all the cultivators of the City Lord's Manor behind him.
There were no screams. Even if there were, they were drowned out by the thunderous roar of the sword light as it destroyed everything and reduced it all to ashes.
After that single strike, White Cloud City's city lord's estate ceased to exist!
Chu Kuangren landed on the ground. After that last strike, the effects of the Hongmeng Purple Qi rapidly faded, and his cultivation continued to decline.
Chu Kuangren felt somewhat regretful. "In the end, this cultivation was forcibly raised. It can't compare to the solidity of cultivation earned through my own practice."
Not far away, the powerful cultivators who had rushed over stared blankly at the scene.
White Cloud City's invincible legend had fallen before their eyes just like that. For a time, they all felt a sense of unreality.
Only when red clouds filled the sky and a shower of red rain fell, sending a chill through their hearts, did they come to their senses.
"A Supreme Supreme has fallen, and red rain falls from the sky!"
"White Cloud Sword Venerable... is really dead!!!"
