Chapter 106: Yun Zhongjun Defeated and Flees, Gains the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler!

At this moment, even if Yun Zhongjun wished to act, it was too late and futile.

The Buddha-country in his palm dissipated, everything vanishing without a trace.

Shocking!

Unbelievable!

Moreover, a deep shock surged in Yun Zhongjun's heart.

Their five quasi-sage powerhouses, in such a short time, lost four, leaving only him alone.

One can imagine how uneasy Yun Zhongjun felt.

Though he did not say it, he also had no will to fight again.

After all, although Yun Zhongjun's strength was strong, it was also limited; if this continued, he feared he would bury himself on this Square Fathom Xiandao.

"Temporarily retreat, await further plans!"

Having made this decision in his heart, Yun Zhongjun hesitated not.

Seeing the black dragon on the opposite side launch another mighty strike, coming down upon his head and face.

This time, Yun Zhongjun instead circulated all his mana, forcibly bearing it.

Boom!

Heavenly sound exploded, Yun Zhongjun's figure suddenly retreated a million miles, appearing utterly disheveled.

Yet he did not look back, using the momentum to flee directly.

Fortunately, the black dragon's strength was still insufficient to match Chen Ku.

Otherwise, even if the Buddha-country reappeared, Yun Zhongjun might not escape unscathed.

Even so, this scene left the black dragon staring in astonishment.

After reacting, he let out a furious shout.

"Hmph, where do you think you're going?!"

Before his words fell, the black dragon manifested his true form, soaring through the void, about to continue pursuing Yun Zhongjun.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind.

"Black dragon, wait!"

"No need to chase further."

Needless to say, this was naturally Chen Ku speaking.

Hearing this, the black dragon paused, his face full of puzzlement as he turned back, not understanding why Chen Ku would be so "generously kind."

At present, only Yun Zhongjun remains on the Xiating side, the best opportunity to capture him entirely.

And Chen Ku also saw through the black dragon's doubts.

His gaze deep as he looked toward the direction Yun Zhongjun had gone, he said in a low voice:

"Now, the East King Duke and others must already know of the emergence of the Square Fathom Xiandao."

"Even killing to silence would be useless."

"We must quickly seize all opportunities on this immortal island; a place of right and wrong cannot be lingered in."

"Otherwise, if the East King Duke and others arrive, it will become even more troublesome."

Chen Ku considered everything thoroughly.

He clearly knew that when Yun Zhongjun and others previously ascended the immortal island, the East King Duke could not possibly be unaware of everything here.

Moreover, compared to Yun Zhongjun and others, the East King Duke's strength was even greater, not something easily confronted head-on.

Therefore, it is still wise to quickly seize all opportunities here, then slip away.

Hearing this, the black dragon pondered for a moment and had to admit Chen Ku's consideration was correct.

Nodding his head, although he felt reluctant, he still replied:

"All shall obey the master's orders!"

Previously witnessing Chen Ku's unparalleled mighty strength, one against three, he could either slay or subdue the opposition.

Such divine might also completely convinced the black dragon.

Asking himself, if he were in that position, facing the combined forces of Biluo, Huangquan, and the Three Jing Daoist, merely preserving his life unscathed would already be an extraordinary feat.

Perhaps only now did he truly acknowledge Chen Ku, harboring no second thoughts.

Sensing the black dragon's change in attitude, Chen Ku smiled knowingly, yet said nothing more.

He turned his gaze to the other side, where the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler still hovered in the void, ever-changing.

"You and I join forces, seal space, first take this treasure!"

Chen Ku's words fell, without hesitation, he struck again.

God Foot Penetration unleashed, heading straight for the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler.

At the same time, the black dragon also unleashed supreme divine ability, crushing space inch by inch, attempting to suppress the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler in one go, eliminating any chance of escape.

But the next moment.

Swish!

A fierce sound of tearing air rang out, causing Chen Ku's expression to tighten.

Only see the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler, as if able to ignore all spatiotemporal obstructions, with merit golden light bursting forth, once again bringing the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler fleeing thousands of miles away.

Then it quietly floated up and down in the high heavens.

Such a appearance seemed to be provoking Chen Ku.

Chen Ku watched, somewhat dumbfounded.

"This damn... tough, tough!"

"Human strength sometimes runs out, yet this Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler knows no fatigue."

"Could it be that this thing truly has no affinity with this poor Daoist?"

"Chen Ku frowned, his face full of worry, muttering to himself with black lines all over his head."

"However, immediately afterward, his expression steadied, and he once again showed an extremely resolute look."

"What's this about affinity or lack thereof?"

"As long as this poor Daoist says there is affinity, then there is affinity."

"As for the notion that some things cannot be forced to completion, for Chen Ku, it simply does not exist."

"I will insist on forcing it."

"Of course, if other mighty bigwigs knew of this idea, they would surely rebuke him with 'Shameless!' and say his skin is extremely thick."

"Chen Ku then fell into deep thought."

"Could it be that only by sacrificing a treasure of the same level as this Heaven-measuring Ruler can one suppress the might of this merit treasure?"

"At once, the image of the God-slaying Spear he had obtained from Hongjun's hands surfaced in his mind."

"Although the God-slaying Spear is not considered an innate supreme treasure, its offensive power is in no way inferior to that of an innate supreme treasure."

"In terms of power, it is actually comparable to this Primordial Chaos Heaven-measuring Ruler, allowing a comparison of superiority."

"But Chen Ku showed a hint of hesitation."

"The God-slaying Spear is his greatest trump card; aside from Hongjun, Jieyin, and Zhunti, no one else knows of it."

"Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Ku would never think of rashly bringing forth this treasure."

"Thus, he could keep it for a critical moment later, and perhaps even use it to deal a vicious blow to others."

"Moreover, even if he were to bring forth the God-slaying Spear, would it really be able to subdue the Primordial Chaos Heaven-measuring Ruler?"

"That possibility is just as slim."

"He then turned to consider other possibilities."

"Moments later, the originally hesitant Chen Ku suddenly changed expression, his eyes lighting up."

"\"Eh? That's it! \""

"\"How did this poor Daoist forget this cure-all? \""

"What Chen Ku spoke of was nothing else—it was precisely the Boundless the Heavenly Dao merit under his control."

"The Primordial Chaos Heaven-measuring Ruler is a merit supreme treasure; with regard to the Heavenly Dao merit, it is likewise of the same origin."

"If merit is used as a guide, it will surely produce an unexpected effect."

"Thinking this, Chen Ku directly waved his hand."

"In an instant, boundless merit manifested and hovered above his head."

"Merit golden light swept forth, like a vast ocean, illuminating the entire Square Zhang Xiandao, shining brilliantly, profound and profound."

"Immediately, Chen Ku stared fixedly at the Primordial Chaos Heaven-measuring Ruler."

"Indeed!"

"At the very moment the boundless merit appeared, the Primordial Chaos Heaven-measuring Ruler shuddered slightly."

"Thereafter, it not only ceased fleeing into the distance, but instead flew straight toward the boundless merit."

"In the blink of an eye, the Primordial Chaos Heaven-measuring Ruler plunged into the boundless merit; instantly, its divine radiance burst forth, its might increased."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"The Primordial Chaos Heaven-measuring Ruler burst with qi, gripping the heart and soul; though a lifeless object, it now emitted a rather human-like feeling of lively excitement."

"Even the characters 'Heaven-measuring' on the ruler became ever more weighty and massive, ancient and profound."

"This is the miraculous effect and benefit of boundless merit—using it to refine spiritual treasures goes without saying."

"Especially for a merit treasure like the Heaven-measuring Ruler, it yields twice the result with half the effort, a natural outcome."

"\"Hehe, done! \""

"Chen Ku smiled satisfied, then waved his hand, withdrawing all the boundless merit."

"And the Primordial Chaos Heaven-measuring Ruler, having been refined by merit, now fell without further mishap into Chen Ku's hands."

"Chen Ku was overjoyed, unable to keep from showing a smile."

"Thus, he once again reaped a merit supreme treasure."
