Chapter 112: Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler Displays Its Might, Two Corpse Quasi-Sages Barely
Silence!
A long silence!
The atmosphere in the field grew increasingly oppressive, as if everything had frozen, making it hard to breathe.
Chen Ku remained silent, firstly pondering how to escape, and secondly quietly awaiting the arrival of his master and uncle-master.
After a moment, Dong Wanggong also seemed to realize something.
"Kid, that's all there is to say!"
"If you still refuse a toast and choose punishment, then don't blame me."
Having said that, Dong Wanggong then gave a meaningful sideways glance.
Instantly, the five figures behind him nodded in understanding and stepped forward one after another.
Xuan Yin Zhenjun!
Wu Xiang Sanren!
Kong Hen Dao Ren!
Ming Xu Lao Zu!
Yin Po Sheng Mu!
The five mighty ones were all at the Two Corpse Quasi-Sage level, each exuding overwhelming might that swept across millions of miles and seized hearts and minds.
The five Xiating powerhouses now glared with sinister eyes, staring hungrily at Chen Ku.
Seeing this, his face grew even more bitter.
"These... five Quasi-Sages."
"You really think highly of this humble priest."
Chen Ku couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, muttering to himself.
He could sense that these five had nearly reached the same level as Yun Zhong Jun.
If they were to fight, it would be even more dangerous than before on the Square Zhang Immortal Island.
Upon hearing his words, Wu Xiang Sanren opposite him let out a cold laugh.
"Kid, Dong Hua Di Jun has already given you a chance."
"Yet you fail to cherish it."
"If so, then take my move."
As his words fell, the five great Quasi-Sages, in perfect unison, suddenly launched their attack.
Five figures shot into the air, their aura surging like a vast ocean and hanging like a waterfall, stirring up tremendous terror.
Boom—
Boom—
The five Quasi-Sages manifested various divine abilities, or simply waved a hand to unleash innate spiritual treasures of overwhelming power.
Divine radiance flared, immortal light flowed, interweaving in wondrous, inexplicable ways.
Chen Ku secretly smirked.
Now there is no other way; if he does not act, his only fate is to close his eyes and await death.
Of course, even if he acts, he cannot lightly contend with their sharpness.
"Black dragon, dodge quickly—no need to clash head‑on."
Chen Ku turned his head and hastily told the black dragon.
To avoid their sharpness, wait for the opportunity, or await the arrival of Jieyin Zhunti—that is the wise course.
As his words fell, mysterious light blossomed beneath Chen Ku's feet.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot.
Beside him, the black dragon nodded, then leapt up violently, stirring up boundless waves that engulfed its body, twisting and turning unpredictably.
Despite the barrage of divine abilities, they merely brushed past Chen Ku and the black dragon by the narrowest margin, leaving them unscathed.
"Divine Foot!"
"Pursuing Stars, Chasing the Moon!"
In Chen Ku's mind, thoughts surged forth, and various speed divine abilities erupted in an endless stream.
He relied on his unmatched speed divine ability, his form ghostlike and swift beyond grasp.
Meanwhile, the black dragon relied on its home‑field advantage, with towering waves overturning and surging to conceal its form.
Moreover, its immensely powerful water‑control divine ability could also neutralize part of the Xiating powerhouses' divine might.
At this moment, the gazes of the Xiating powerhouses converged upon Chen Ku.
Everyone's faces shifted dramatically, their hearts shaken to the core.
"Hiss... this kid's speed is astonishing!"
"Such body‑technique divine ability is marvelously uncommon."
"Even compared to Di Jun Taiyi's Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation and the great roc's extreme speed, it is hardly inferior."
The Xiating crowd could barely conceal their astonishment, whispering in low voices.
Had it been any ordinary Quasi‑Sage powerhouse, under the siege of the five great Xiating mighty ones, even if not dead, they would have been flayed alive.
Yet Chen Ku, time and again dodging, has remained completely unharmed to this point—proof enough.
Watching Chen Ku slip like a loach, he is impossible to grasp.
Upon hearing the murmurs behind him, Dong Wanggong remained silent, but his face grew even darker than water, grim to the extreme.
Whenever they thought they had figured out all of Chen Ku's tricks, he would always manage to shock Dong Wanggong anew.
"Have we still underestimated this child?"
Dong Wanggong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his words icy and bone-chilling.
Now, speaking of Chen Ku in the field.
He kept shuttling through the spatial rifts, appearing somewhat panicked in his evasion.
But only he himself knew that he was not merely blindly dodging.
At the critical moment, his divine sense had been pushed to the utmost, seeking the opening in the five great Xiating powerhouses opposite him.
And that was his opportunity.
Finally!
At one moment, Chen Ku's eyes lit up, his gaze instantly locking onto Xuanyin Zhenjun.
After repeated entanglements before, Xuanyin Zhenjun already showed signs of being flustered and exasperated.
After all, the five great Quasi-Sage experts had joined forces, with Dong Wanggong overseeing from the side.
After a hard-fought battle, they still couldn't take down this junior Chen Ku, which was indeed somewhat embarrassing.
His attacks grew increasingly violent, holding nothing back, and he was already somewhat disrupting his own formation.
Boom!
Xuanyin Zhenjun swept his wide sleeve lightly, another great divine ability surged forth, and the innate spirit treasure atop his head, carrying endless divine radiance, came crashing down upon Chen Ku.
Just then!
Chen Ku's divine sense surged, decisive in slaughter.
His form flickered, dodging Xuanyin Zhenjun's strike.
Then, he turned his palm, and the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Measuring Ruler appeared directly.
Facing the Xiating crowd, Chen Ku had no need for courtesy, nor need to show mercy.
He unhesitatingly activated this merit treasure.
In an instant, primordial chaos qi surged forth mighty and vast, enveloping Xuanyin Zhenjun's entire body.
Endless runes arose and faded within, the aura of the Great Dao fully revealed, stirring up a terrifying heavenly terror.
Within a foot, the void was instantly torn apart, inch by inch sinking, returning to nothingness.
"Ah......"
Only a piercing, tragic scream rang out, and Dong Wanggong and the others hastily fixed their gaze.
Only to see Xuanyin Zhenjun's physical body pierced through, great sheets of blood rain pouring into the void, a scarlet expanse.
His originally vast and surging magical power also seemed to be directly sliced apart by the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Measuring Ruler, annihilated into nothing.
Xuanyin Zhenjun's aura fluctuated, his face deathly pale, his primordial spirit trembling violently, seemingly unable to withstand the might of the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Measuring Ruler, on the verge of collapse.
However, under such a mortal terror, Xuanyin Zhenjun's good and evil corpses emerged on their own.
Two figures not only dragged his body backward in retreat, but also shed innate spiritual light, repairing Xuanyin Zhenjun's shattered flesh and his waning divine sense.
This sight made the Xiating powerhouses all involuntarily suck in a cold breath.
"What an overbearing offensive!"
"Not good, Xuanyin Zhenjun's situation is not optimistic."
Everyone could see that Chen Ku's strike carried killing intent.
Moreover, if it were not for Xuanyin Zhenjun's good and evil corpses actively appearing to protect his true self unharmed.
Then, under this strike, Xuanyin Zhenjun would already have been slain instantly.
Even so, at this moment he has already been heavily wounded, retaining only two or three tenths of his former peak strength and pressure.
Dong Wanggong's gaze was sharp, also fixed on Chen Ku in the field.
Precisely speaking, on the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Measuring Ruler in his hand.
A great shock rose in his heart, Dong Wanggong spoke in a deep voice:
"Hehe... good, good!"
"One Primordial Chaos Heaven-Measuring Ruler can actually produce such an unexpected effect."
"In that case, I cannot let such a treasure slip away."
Dong Wanggong was both sneering repeatedly, because Chen Ku had heavily wounded the Xiating powerhouse, and his anger flared.
At the same time, his words were full of astonishment.
He clearly knew Xuanyin Zhenjun's strength; even among the Xiating, he could be called outstanding.
But Chen Ku could suppress the opponent.
I suspect... a large part of it is due to his holding the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Measuring Ruler.
