Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 755: Chapter 78: Celestial Monarch Yun Ku: Zhou Xun, Long Time No See!

”Now, I announce that the battle officially begins!”

As True Monarch Yama’s rules were declared, the atmosphere on the scene grew increasingly tense.

Master Kujie is a frail and thin old man, but without his renowned Demon-Slaying Treasure Body Divine Techniques,

no one would guess that he is, in fact, a formidable Body Refining Cultivator.

”Everyone, although this is just a stage match, the power of battle is intimidating. Alliance Leader Yu asked me to remind you all, if truly overwhelmed, you can concede at any time!”

”The prosperity of a Cultivation Realm fundamentally lies in the cultivators themselves!”

Before going into battle, True Monarch Celestial One specifically reminded them.

”Thank you for Alliance Leader’s understanding!”

Zhou Xun and the others expressed their gratitude, thus easing the burden on their hearts.

”Master Kujie, you are our first combatant, make sure to display the might of our Human Race. If you can kill him, it will surely boost our morale!”

Wei Chang’an said.

”Rest assured, this old monk will do his utmost!”

According to True Monarch Celestial One’s strategy, Master Kujie, as the first to fight, not only bears the task of defeating the opponent but also has to deplete the second opponent’s mana,

laying the groundwork for True Monarch Thunder Prison and True Monarch Chang’an.

”Everyone, this old monk departs now!” Master Kujie, with palms pressed together, slightly bowed to everyone,

then his figure flickered, transforming into a beam of golden light, shot to the center between the two races, standing in the air.

Meanwhile, from the demon race side, another figure flew out,

this person in a red robe, with two long whiskers extending from their head, evidently a shrimp demon.

”I am Kujie, meeting this respected demon Dao friend!”

”I am Xuyan, who has also studied the path of Body Refinement extensively, and have long heard that Master Kujie is a renowned Body Refining Cultivator of the Human Race, today I wish to seek your guidance!” the middle-aged man in the red robe said, cupping his hands.

Master Kujie, upon hearing this, his eyes brightened,

he especially enjoys using his physique to overpower when engaging in Magical Combat, where each punch meets its mark; this demon’s words were exactly to his liking.

”Very well, indeed!”

Just then, Master Kujie’s eyes opened wide as he chanted incantations, a mysterious and formidable power surged from within him.

In an instant, radiance shone brightly, transforming him into a giant Arhat,

standing several hundred zhang high, like a towering mountain peak.

Draped in a golden kasaya, embroidered with mysterious runes, flickering with spirit light, seemingly containing endless Buddhist Power.

The Dharma Aspect bore a solemn and dignified expression, his brows exuding authority and compassion, his eyes like two scorching suns, emanating a blazing light, daring not to be directly stared at.

Behind his head, a halo of golden Buddha Light spread out, resembling a great sun,

with a huge lotus platform slowly blooming beneath his feet.

”Demon-Slaying Treasure Body!”

The moment Master Kujie’s Dharma Aspect appeared, the entire battleground was shaken.

The Void Flame Demon Emperor, upon the appearance of the Treasure Body, felt a powerful pressure, revealed solemnity and anxiety in his eyes.

”Golden Flood Dragon, unexpectedly, the Human Race sent Kujie first, it seems we’re going to lose this first battle!”

The South Abyss Demon Emperor felt the aura emanating from the Arhat, expressing his concern.

”Wasn’t this the predetermined strategy!”

”Xuyan has the weakest strength, no matter who he faces, it’s hard to win, so better to give his all to deplete the opponent’s mana!”

”With Kujie being the first, it aligns perfectly with our intentions,”

”He may be formidable, but only to a certain extent!”

”After this battle, there will be little strength left, making it easy for Black Island to claim victory!”

The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor appeared extremely confident.

”If that is so, then it’s not bad!”

As for Zhou Xun and others, they breathed a sigh of relief,

”I’ve long heard Master Kujie’s prowess, seeing it today, his reputation is well deserved!”

”The Demon-Slaying Treasure Body is the foremost technique of Vajra Temple, skilled in vanquishing demons, this first battle is in our hands!”

Wei Chang’an’s expression relaxed,

with Master Kujie securing the first win and depleting a significant amount of the second combatant’s mana, it is,

a piece of good news for him!

After all, according to the sequence, he would be the second to take the field.

The Void Flame Demon Emperor, witnessing this, took a deep breath, striving to stabilize his mind. He knew this battle ahead was bound to be extraordinarily difficult, but as a strong demon, he naturally wouldn’t easily back down.

Even if defeated, he could still create an opportunity for victory for the Black Island Demon Emperor following him!

”Hmph, the Body Refining Cultivators of the Human Race indeed have some tricks, but today I want to see just how capable your Dharma Body is.”

The Void Flame Demon Emperor coldly snorted, and the demon qi around him surged instantly.

He waved his hands, and blazing flames flew out from his palms, weaving into a sea of fire in the air, sweeping towards Master Kujie’s Dharma Aspect.

Like turbulent waves, each flame seemed like a wave, radiating astonishing heat.

However, Master Kujie’s Dharma Aspect remained unmoved, his mouth chanting once more,

only to see the Arhat raise a gigantic palm, gently slapping towards the sea of fire.

Suddenly, a powerful Buddha Light surged out, transforming into an invisible wall that forcefully blocked the sea of fire.

The sea of fire crashed against the wall of Buddhist Dharma, sending countless sparks flying, yet unable to break through this defense. Some sparks fell onto the sea below, vaporizing the water,

turning into mists, rising into the sky, obscuring the sun!

The Void Flame Demon Emperor, seeing his flame attack easily blocked, his eyes narrowed, and his hands rapidly changed spells again.

The two long whiskers on top of his head suddenly straightened,

shedding directly from his body,

transforming into two sharp spears, shimmering with red light, carrying powerful demon qi as they stabbed towards Master Kujie’s Dharma Aspect.

As the spears passed, the air was sliced with a sharp sound, as if they were going to pierce through space itself.

”Boom!”

The two spears were extremely sharp, piercing into the Buddha Light wall instantly, producing a deafening sound,

immediately,

”Sizzle—”

The Buddha Light wall appeared with cracks, unable to withstand this strike.

Master Kujie’s Dharma Aspect remained serene and solemn, slightly lowering his head, looking at the spears stabbing, the golden Buddha Light behind his head growing even more dazzling.

The Dharma Aspect clasped his hands together, chanting, a golden light shot out from his body, forming a massive golden shield in front of him.

At this moment, the spears broke through the Buddha Light, struck the shield, and were blocked!

Seeing this, the Void Flame Demon Emperor felt a slight anxiety in his heart.

This move, even a Middle-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator would find it difficult to withstand, yet Master Kujie blocked it so easily,

thinking of this,

a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, the demon qi around him frantically surged, his body began to swell. Before long, he revealed his true form,

a massive cyan-brown sea shrimp over five hundred feet long,

the surroundings emanating a heart-pounding demon qi, with each segment of the carapace shimmering with a cold light, like an indestructible battle armor.

The Void Flame Demon Emperor roared, his voice echoing like thunder across the battlefield.

He swung his pairs of giant pincers, turning into a lightning bolt charging at Master Kujie’s Dharma Body.

Unable to defeat with magical abilities, next, he would fight with his own powerful physique in a physical confrontation!

The Void Flame Demon Emperor, although enormous, was extremely agile, reaching Master Kujie in an instant,

raising his pincers high, he viciously clipped down onto the arms of the Treasure Body!

Master Kujie remained steady as a mountain, unhurriedly raising his arms to block in the face of the Void Flame Demon Emperor’s fierce attack!

”Bang!” A loud crash sounded, as the two collided, the powerful impact seemed to twist the surrounding air.

The Void Flame Demon Emperor felt as if his giant pincers had struck an indestructible mountain, a rebound force traveling through the pincers to his entire body, causing him to slightly tremble.

”Impossible, how can a mere human possess such a physique!”

Yet the Void Flame Demon Emperor was not willing to give up, raising his giant pincers once more, continuously attacking Master Kujie’s Dharma Body,

this primitive brute force clash tested the strength of both parties’ physiques,

after several collisions,

the Void Flame Demon Emperor gradually showed signs of fatigue.

Fine cracks suddenly appeared on his carapace, and the demon qi began to become chaotic.

Although Master Kujie’s Dharma Body also bore some damage, with a flash of Buddha Light, it returned to normal!

Despair surged in the Void Flame Demon Emperor’s heart, knowing he might not be able to defeat this powerful opponent before him.

But as a Demon Race strongman, he was unwilling to give up easily, roared once more, exerting all his strength charging towards the Dharma Aspect.

Seeing the charging Void Flame Demon Emperor, master Kujie’s eyes flashed with light, clasping his hands, chanting, and an even brighter Buddha Light surged from his body!

As the Void Flame Demon Emperor approached, the Dharma Body Arhat suddenly stretched out his palm, heavily slapping onto the Void Flame Demon Emperor’s body.

”Boom!” A loud noise, the Void Flame Demon Emperor was struck by this powerful force, sent flying, heavily crashing onto the sea, creating huge splashes.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun and others rejoiced, victory was at hand!

The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor sighed deeply, loudly declaring,

”In the first round, we concede!”
