Chapter 797: Fighting the Draconic Beast With Bare Hands, Do You Think I’d Be So Shameless To Do Everything as You Say?

“What do you think you’re doing with my body?”

A solemn voice suddenly resounded throughout the whole Arcane Aqua Palace.

Then, a ray of light appeared.

Still covered in a mess from the Divine Eightfold Fire Cauldron’s explosion, the crowd quickly turned and looked when they heard the voice.

“Who is it?”

“His body… What’s going on?”

Everyone immediately looked at it.

A young man sitting on a lotus flower suddenly appeared in the void. He was holding his chin as he gazed upon the crowd below.

What shocked everyone the most was the fact that the young man’s face was identical to the person lying inside the crystal coffin.

“W-What the hell?”

“Who is this man?”

Questions began to fill up everyone’s mind.

Both the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader and Arcane Aqua Sect Master glared at the young man, who had appeared out of nowhere, as though a great enemy had appeared. That man was, of course, Chu Kuangren.

They could sense an absolutely terrifying pressure coming from his body and felt as if they were mere ants facing a mighty dragon. That invisible aura seething from him almost made them want to kneel to him.

“Who are you? Why have you come to my Arcane Aqua Sect?”

The Arcane Aqua Sect Master asked boldly.

“You’re one to talk. Well, look at what you’re doing with my body, slicing and burning it like that. Now, you’re asking me who I am? Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”

Chu Kuangren said.

Upon hearing his words, the eyes of cultivators at the scene widened in shock.

Then, they took a closer look and realized that Chu Kuangren was currently in an astral form. For a moment, they were stunned.

‘How powerful must his soul be to be able to venture around the lands in astral form without worrying about his soul dispersing into nothing?’

“We didn’t know you were still alive. I hope you can forgive us for any trouble our actions have caused.” The Arcane Aqua Sect Master immediately gave in.

‘He’s too powerful.’

‘He is not someone we can make an enemy with.’

Meanwhile, the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader’s eyes lit up as he looked at Chu Kuangren. Deep down, he was struggling as to how he should react.

Should he give in like the Arcane Aqua Sect Master?

It might ensure his survival, but this also meant that he would lose a chance to ascend to the next cultivation realm.

Should he fight?

However, Chu Kuangren seemed incredibly unpredictable. Just that invisible aura of his alone made the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader feel suffocated.

If he were to fight Chu Kuangren, there was a huge chance that he would die.

After an intense struggle, the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader’s gaze turned cold. He took out a jade scroll, crushed it, and immediately flew towards Chu Kuangren with the Holy Dragon Saber in his hands. With a slash, a dragon-shaped saber qi unleashed towards his opponent.

“Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader, don’t do it.”

The Arcane Aqua Sect Master’s expression changed drastically.

She thought the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader must have gone crazy.

Otherwise, why would he suddenly attack Chu Kuangren, a being who was dozens of times stronger than everyone here?!

So what if he could increase his cultivation level?

Was that more important than his life?

As the dragon-shaped saber qi approached Chu Kuangren, his face revealed a playful smile. “You have the guts to attack me, huh? Your bravery is commendable.”

He remained seated on the lotus flower.

At that moment, he cast his mind power to turn that dragon-shaped saber qi into nothingness.

“Such power! He could even display such strength in his astral form. If this person’s soul reunites with his body, not even a dozen of me will have the chance of winning.”

The Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader thought.

He only dared to attack because Chu Kuangren was in astral form, thinking that his opponent’s strength would be limited because of that.

However, he was greatly mistaken.

If it were any other ordinary cultivators, their combat strength would be drastically reduced if their body and soul were separated. Then again, was Chu Kuangren even an ordinary cultivator?

With unparalleled soul energy, coupled with a talent like mind power, any of his mind power attacks were now on par with any other Emperor qi attacks.

“This person’s soul energy is incredibly powerful. It looks like dragging the battle on will be no easy task,” the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader mumbled.

He never believed that he could win against Chu Kuangren.

All he wanted to do was stall his opponent until he could unleash his trump card.

“Holy Dragon Saber Transformation, activate!”

The Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader tossed the Holy Dragon Saber into the air.

That long black saber started radiating brightly as countless strands of Daoist patterns flowed through it. Eventually, it transformed into a terrifying black dragon.

That dragon looked extremely realistic.

Its Dragon Poise spread everywhere, shocking the surrounding lands.

“It is said that the first leader of the Holy Dragon Pavilion was one of the most remarkable cultivators ever in the history of Planet Bei. When he became an Emperor, he had killed a draconic beast and refined its soul, which he imbued into this saber after that. From the looks of it, the legend seems to be true. That’s the dragon soul.”

“What frightening power.”

“I’m afraid only a few on Planet Bei are a match for this creature.”

Surges of Emperor qi flowed out continuously from the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader’s body as he controlled the dragon’s soul to attack Chu Kuangren.

In the process, the mighty Dragon Poise spread everywhere, and the void started to collapse wherever it passed by.

Chu Kuangren looked at the dragon’s soul with interest. With a gentle lift of his hand, his invisible mind power gushed out and formed a great invisible palm.

In a split second, Chu Kuangren had grabbed that ferocious and menacing dragon soul in mid-air, where it struggled to escape his grasp.

Its roar was like claps of thunder, causing the surrounding void to tremble violently.

“A small worm like you is leagues apart compared to my Lil Red back home.”

Chu Kuangren grinned.

The True Dragons and the Godly Phoenixes were divine beasts born from the Heavenly Dao. Hence, they possessed an incredibly high growth potential. No matter where in the galaxy they were, they would undoubtedly be ranked among the top and had a very high chance to ascend into Immortals in the future too.

However, Chu Kuangren did not see such potential in that black dragon before him. It was obviously not a True Dragon but a draconic beast that had somehow obtained blood from the True Dragons.

Beings like that were not uncommon.

Hiss…

Chilling hissing sounds suddenly rang out from the surroundings, as if there was a huge rattlesnake around somewhere.

This shocked everyone present.

‘That’s a draconic beast, a being even stronger than an ordinary Emperor. Yet, Chu Kuangren could grab it just like that?’

“Break free now!!”

The Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader kept yelling.

He channeled his Emperor qi to its fullest potential, attempting to help the draconic beast to escape the control of Chu Kuangren’s mind power.

However, no matter how much Emperor qi he exerted and how rough the draconic beast struggled, Chu Kuangren’s mind power remained unaffected.

The difference in strength between them was just too drastic.

“Alright, play time’s over.”

Chu Kuangren said calmly.

Then, he tightened the palm of his hand a little.

With a bang, that draconic beast was immediately crushed into pieces!

The draconic beast dispersed and reverted back to the Holy Dragon Saber. However, that Emperor Weapon, which was famed throughout Planet Bei, instantly shattered into countless fragments on the spot.

“H-h-how could this be…”

The Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader’s face turned pale.

Chu Kuangren glanced at him.

That one gaze made the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader shudder uncontrollably.

“Stop it.”

At that moment, a voice was heard from the distance.

A ray of light flew toward them from the horizon. The Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader was so delighted to hear that voice. “The Grand Forefather is here!”

However, Chu Kuangren ignored that voice. His mind power surged and locked onto the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader.

The Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader’s look of delight immediately turned into horror.

The next instant.

Bang! Like the shattered Holy Dragon Saber, the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader was crushed into pulp on the spot.

“D*mn it!”

An elderly man rushed to the scene. Having seen Chu Kuangren kill the Holy Dragon Pavilion Leader, his expression was extremely grim. “I said stop. Didn’t you hear me earlier?!”

Chu Kuangren replied, “Yeah, I did. But it doesn’t mean I have to obey, right? Do you think I’d be so shameless to do everything as you say?”
