Chapter 639: Chaos Daoist Celestial, The Underworld God's Willpower Thought Form, You are Quite The Nuisance

"These crimson light beams contain some kind of vengeful thought. This energy is strong enough to eat away souls. Is this the real reason why the Slumbering Emperor Coffin was collecting soul energy all this while? To erode this man's soul?"

Chu Kuangren muttered under his breath.

Then, he slowly walked up and reached out to touch the man's body. In an instant, the Tome of Physiques deep inside his soul reacted.

Chaos Physique was the number one physique of the Three-Thousand Physiques. To Chu Kuangren, this was a precious cultivation material for him to research on.

There would not be another one like this in the entire Firmament Star.

At the thought of this, Chu Kuangren stopped trying to figure out why this man was trapped here. Instead, he switched his focus to how he could conduct research on this physique.

Yet right at this moment, a ripple passed by in the void in front of him, and a huge face popped up.

It was a pitch-black face with blurred facial features. Nevertheless, a pair of deep black, black hole-like eyes stared back at him.

A bout of menacing energy began to pour out from those eyes.

This energy was capable of eroding souls!

However, Chu Kuangren had already attained the twelfth-level Bodhi Lotus Sutra, so this soul energy had no effect whatsoever on him.

"You are immune to my willpower?!"

"A puny mortal below the realm of an Emperor can resist my willpower?! Tell me. Who the hell are you?!"

That massive face stared at Chu Kuangren with utter disbelief.

Chu Kuangren also stared back at it while activating his Eye of Revelation. "Underworld God's willpower thought form, adept at Soul Dao…"

Underworld God's willpower thought form… It seemed like all those soul assaults that he had been enduring were this guy's doing.

"Another so-called God?"

His Eye of Revelation had already identified that this Underworld God's willpower thought form was only skilled at Soul Dao and did not have any other attacking techniques. In other words, this guy posed no threat to him at all.

On that note, a smirk broke out on his face.

He had encountered one too many Gods recently.

God of Light, God of Darkness, and now, the Underworld God…

These Gods were degrading themselves by showing up so often, were they not?

Or was it his luck that he had been able to meet so many of them?

"Heh, interesting fella."

Just then, a chuckle was heard from beside Chu Kuangren.

He turned around and saw a white-robed man sitting on top of that white-robed man earlier, glancing at him curiously.

This white-robed man was in fact that white-robed man who was in a deep slumber. The only difference was that he was not present in his physical form, but in astral form.

"Pfft. Chaos Daoist Celestial, I didn't think you'd wake up so suddenly."

The Underworld God's willpower thought form was astonished by that abrupt noise as well. It turned around and scoffed at that white-robed man.

"Hey, Underworld God. Long time no see."

The white-robed man stared at the Underworld God's willpower thought form and smiled gently as though he was greeting an old friend.

However, the Underworld God's willpower thought form did not seem delighted at all. Instead, he looked at the white-robed man with an ice-cold gaze.

"Young man, there is a familiar energy on you. I can tell that it's the Bodhi Lotus Sutra. What is your relationship with the Putuo?"

The white-robed Chaos Daoist Celestial inquired Chu Kuangren curiously.

Putuo?

Chu Kuangren took out that golden corpse he came across earlier and explained politely, "I found this Bodhi Lotus Sutra from this man's remains."

Seeing the golden corpse, Chaos Daoist Celestial's expression changed abruptly. He then flashed a grim look at Underworld God's willpower thought form.

"It's you. You killed him."

"Oh, so it's him you're talking about? Even I am not clear how many eons ago that was. This guy showed up here to save you, not knowing any better. He tried to open the Slumbering Emperor Coffin along with a group of people, but only he made it in here. In the end, he couldn't even endure the Ethereal Whispers."

The Underworld God's willpower thought form said cockily.

Then, he thought of something and looked toward Chu Kuangren. He asked in disbelief," You got this Bodhi Lotus Sutra from the corpse?"

"Yes."

"Impossible. You've only entered the Slumbering Emperor Coffin for a mere three months. If you got this Bodhi Lotus Sutra from the corpse, how did your soul energy endure the Ethereal Whispers and make it all the way here?"

The Underworld God's willpower thought form was in disbelief as well.

He was able to improve his soul to such an extent in just three months? In an unconducive environment like the Slumbering Emperor Coffin at that too. This was simply outrageous.

"Oh. So I've spent three months cultivating this Bodhi Lotus Sutra, huh?" Chu Kuangren was struck by a realization.

A hint of shock was written all over the Underworld God's willpower thought form's and the Chaos Daoist Celestial's faces.

Why would he care about that?

The real question should be, how did he manage to cultivate this level of Bodhi Lotus Sutra in just three months?

What kind of freak had broken into the Slumbering Emperor Coffin?

"Underworld God's willpower thought form, and Chaos Daoist Celestial, I don't care about whatever bad blood you two have against each other. I just want you to know that this Chaos Physique of yours is quite useful to me."

Chu Kuangren looked at Chaos Daoist Celestial's body and walked up to have a closer inspection of the Chaos Physique. He planned to convert it to his own use.

Chaos Daoist Celestial felt uneasy from Chu Kuangren's stare, but at the same time, he could not tell what Chu Kuangren was planning to do. After all, what remained of himself that could still move was just his soul alone.

He could not do anything to stop Chu Kuangren.

"Pfft, kiddo. Do you think the Slumbering Emperor Coffin is your playground?!" The Underworld God's willpower thought form sneered, and dreadful energy waves erupted from his giant face.

Bizarre syllables then began spewing out from his mouth, and with the wicked soul energy ripples, they lashed out at Chu Kuangren's soul.

However, the Bodhi Soul was indestructible. Even with Underworld God's willpower thought form's full strength, he could not deal any damage to Chu Kuangren.

"How could this happen? Not even an Emperor's soul can withstand such a scale of my assault. How the hell can you resist it? To which level have you cultivated the Bodhi Lotus Sutra in these short three months?!

The Underworld God's willpower thought form could not believe his eyes.

Although he was just a willpower thought form, the person he was dealing with now was a being below the Emperor Realm.

How could his soul be so powerful?!

"You're quite the nuisance."

Chu Kuangren threw a side-glance at Underworld God's willpower thought form. He raised his fist and cast his very own Invincible Technique. In an instant, the Inverted Universe energy erupted with full force!

This punch tore through the Chaotic qi surrounding them and crashed directly onto the Underworld God's willpower thought form, hitting him with brute force.

"Esoteric Art. A being below the Emperor Realm like you know of the Esoteric Arts?"

Chaos Daoist Celestial was slightly taken aback.

He had lived for endless years and seen countless sky-prides, but he had not come across a handful of beings who had mastered the Esoteric Arts before reaching the Emperor Realm.

He began to question if he had been stuck inside this Slumbering Emperor Coffin for so long that the norms of the past had already been overturned?

So much that even those below Emperors could easily handle the Esoteric Arts?

Chaos Daoist Celestial had no idea that this Chu Kuangren before him now was, in fact, the most incomprehensible freak in all of history!

The usual cultivator logic could not be applied to him.

"Kiddo, just you wait. I'll be back to get you."

Underworld God's willpower thought form's voice could be heard amidst the Chaos.

It seemed like Chu Kuangren's punch earlier did not annihilate him.

Chu Kuangren did not look surprised either. It was as if he had already expected that.

The Eye of Revelation revealed that this Underworld God's willpower thought form was closely connected to this Slumbering Emperor Coffin. As long as the Slumbering Emperor Coffin was not destroyed, he would not perish.
