âSingle Thought Series, Absolute Silence, Planetary Destruction!â
At that moment, a voice rang out.
Vast surges of mind power swept everywhere as countless strands of Daoist patterns swirled. Suddenly, the whole area plunged into an eerie silence.
Absolute silence.
After that, the Daoist patterns condensed into rings of light that spread everywhere, with Chu Kuangren as its center.
One by one, the overbearing divine power fluctuations shattered!
The Heavenly Golden Cauldron was immediately damaged and blasted away!
All the godsâ attacks were reduced to nothing as the wave of light spread through them. It also injured some of the gods, who exploded into mists of blood amid the silence!
That terrifying silence engulfed the whole Godly Mountain.
Half of the Venerable Gods present were either dead or critically injured once the wave of light dissipated, with the remaining half suffering injuries. All of them were terrified by what had just happened.
âHow is he so powerful?!â
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestialâs face turned pale.
That attack alone had damaged his Fated Daoist Weapon so badly that it was now almost a piece of scrap metal. As such, he suffered huge repercussions, and his combat strength was close to being depleted.
He still could not believe it.
He thought that his hard work all these years had allowed him to catch up or even surpass the Human King in terms of strength.
Yet, he never expected the difference in power between them to be so huge, still.
Even Zhan Xing felt the same way.
Seeking to defeat the Human King was his ultimate life goal, so he had researched and studied his opponentâs techniques for countless years. However, he, too, realized now that all of his efforts were futile.
Chu Kuangren gradually retracted his mind power fluctuations, freeing the surrounding area from that strange silence. He looked around in delight. âNot bad. It looks like this technique is still compelling.â
The Single Thought Series was a series of Esoteric Techniques that Chu Kuangren created after studying various mind power cultivation techniques. After he left the archaic ancient times, his Hell and Human Soul developed it further through cultivation. Eventually, building on the foundation of the previous four techniques, the fifth technique of the series was created.
It was the one he just used⦠Absolute Silence, Planetary Destruction.
That technique was terrifyingly powerful, so powerful that after his Hell and Human Soul created it, he only used it once during his battle with the King of Gods.
âThis technique is still as frightening as I recalled.â
An exclamation sounded.
It was the King of Gods.
All of the gods looked at him with hope in their eyes. âThe King of Gods is the only one who hasnât attacked. Since heâs the one who died in battle alongside the Human King back then, I bet heâs as strong as the Human King, right?â
âLet us help you, almighty King of Gods.â
Zhan Xing said.
âHmph. As long as you donât slow me down.â
The King of Gods sneered.
He then looked towards Chu Kuangren. âNow that youâve used the Absolute Silence, Planetary Destruction Technique, what other stuff do you have up your sleeves?â
âYouâll find out soon enough.â
âDuring the battle at the Immemorial Kunlun Pool, you and I both died, so letâs see if youâre strong enough to do the same now that weâre at the Godly Mountain.â
A menacing and domineering divine power aura erupted from the King of Godâs body.
It caused the whole Godly Mountain to rumble.
Amidst the void, a surge of energy entered his body and strengthened him.
It was the power of the Godly Mountain.
âDao Convergence state.â
Chu Kuangren activated his Heavenly Dao power at the same time too.
âDivine Apocalypse!â
The King of Gods raised his hand and slammed forward with his fist. An immeasurable surge of destructive divine power swept out violently, shaking the surrounding area and shattering the void.
âSingle Thought Series, Cataclysmic Pantheon Flame Lotus!â
Golden-red flame lotuses appeared, their light radiating in all directions.
Both of them attacked almost at the same time.
Boom!
When the divine power and flame lotuses collided, shockwaves so powerful blasted the surrounding spectators of the battle away. None could deal with the impact.
That was a battle between beings close to a Great Daoist Celestialâs level.
Bam, bam!
The King of Gods and Chu Kuangren traded blow after blow. In the process, sparks of brilliance erupted with their respective divine power and mind power, dazzling everyone watching from the sidelines.
The king of all gods and the king of all humans!
After dozens of eras, the both of them were battling each other once more. For a moment, everyone present felt as if they had been transported back to the Immemorial Kunlun Pool.
âWonderful!â
The King of Gods laughed out loud. âCang, throughout all these years, youâre the only one who has ever succeeded in killing me and the first human who has gained my respect. Because of this, youâre also the first person whom I truly consider my lifelong enemy!â
âCome, feast your eyes upon this technique!â
âIt is a divine technique that Iâve prepared specially for defeating you!â
The King of Godâs divine power aura did not change much. However, his Dao fluctuations soon became stronger and more overbearing.
Countless Daoist patterns intertwined in the void as his destructive divine power combined to form a gigantic black sword in the void!
Everyone at the scene shuddered upon seeing that gigantic sword.
It was a sword created for the sole purpose of destruction!
âInteresting technique. It looks like sleeping has not been the only thing youâve been doing in the Godly Mountain throughout the eras.â Chu Kuangren chuckled.
âAlthough my divine power has been stagnant due to no Power of Faith, my strength still remains. For many years, Iâve been invincible in battle. It was you who gave me the desire to become stronger. It was also the first time I so desperately wanted to defeat someone. Hence, this technique was created specifically just to take you down.â
The King of Gods said coldly.
Without the Power of Faith, the divine power of a god would remain stagnant.
However, this did not mean that they could not strengthen themselves.
The changes in the technique used could also affect the might of their divine power. However, it was limited to the divine power they possessed. That was why their techniques could never improve or have any breakthrough.
Back then, the King of Godâs strength had yet reached its fullest potential.
Therefore, after the Human King killed him, he started researching various techniques in hopes of using them to unleash the full extent of his divine power. In the end, a new technique was created.
âCang, prepare yourself!â
âDivine Blade of Destruction, Kingslayer!â
With a low grunt, the King of Gods unleashed his terrifying sword technique.
In that instant, the endless void exploded violently.
Chu Kuangren squinted a little while facing that attack. Then, he channeled his mind power and Prominent-quality Dao to unleash his Single Thought Series, Absolute Silence, Planetary Destruction once more.
The moment the Kingslayer attack and wave of light collided, the most horrifying shockwave erupted. In turn, it overpowered and nullified the wave of light.
Chu Kuangren was forced back for the very first time.
âHa! What do you think of this attack, Cang!â
The King of Gods grinned, and a look of delight appeared on his face. His countless years of effort had finally paid off.
âItâs alright.â
Chu Kuangren patted his chest and nodded a little.
âYour Planetary Destruction Technique is no longer a match for me. When the next attack hits you, the king shall fall!â The King of Gods laughed. Then, he channeled his divine power once more, and that gigantic black sword manifested in the void.
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial, Zhan Xing, and other Venerable Gods were overjoyed.
âAs expected from the King of Gods. Weâll certainly win this battle!â
âThatâs right. The return of the Human King is nothing but a joke.â
That destructive sword attack soon appeared.
When Chu Kuangren saw this, he chuckled. âAlthough my Planetary Destruction canât defeat this, who said itâs the only technique I have?â
As soon as he said that, an overbearing surge of Emperor qi erupted in all directions.
With his mind power, Chu Kuangren activated the Emperor qi within him!
âOpen your eyes and take a closer look. In this current life of mine, besides mind power, I also have this Prominent-grade Emperor qi!â
Chu Kuangren closed his fist, channeling his dense Emperor qi and mind power simultaneously. At the same time, his Prominent-quality Dao and Prominent-grade Esoteric Art were also activated!
As his three prominent energies combined and were strengthened by his mind power and Heavenly Dao energy, an unimaginably earth-shattering might erupted.
âWhat!â
All the gods were stunned.
Even the King of Gods was taken aback by this. However, he still unleashed his attack nonetheless.
âDivine Blade of Destruction, Kingslayer!â
âInvincible Technique, Inverted Universe!â
Chu Kuangren unleashed a punch, which activated the power of his Inverted Universe.
His fist energy instantly shattered and blew the gigantic sword apart upon collision, sending back large amounts of divine energy aura to the attacker.
The King of Gods was the first to get hit, and he was sent flying straight away.
Eventually, all of the gods behind him were hit with the impact, with some vomiting blood and some critically injured. It was chaos everywhere.
The weaker Venerable Gods immediately died on the spot..
