Chapter 214: The Discovery of the Three Purities, Nine‑Turn Cultivation Method?

Between heaven and earth, all beings' faces were frenzied, their emotions extremely excited.

This scene could be described as eye-popping.

Di Jun and Taiyi are top-tier powerhouses that can be called the strongest in heaven and earth.

Yet today they had no choice but to join forces to deal with Chen Ku alone.

It must be said that, as a rising star, Chen Ku has reached a point where all beings cannot help but look up to him.

At this moment, many mighty powerhouses also couldn't help but show a hint of worry.

"This battle is now a fight to the death."

"With Di Jun and Taiyi joining forces, Chen Ku's situation is probably not optimistic."

A powerhouse let out such a sigh, causing some beings to secretly nod in agreement.

Not bad!

You should know that, although Chen Ku previously possessed an astonishing number of various spiritual treasures,

but the power of spiritual treasures is ultimately external force.

Now he, with his own strength, is directly confronting Di Jun and Taiyi; how could the fundamental gap between them be made up?!

But such worry did not last long.

In the field, the Solar Gold Wheel rumbled as it turned, the Great Sun Divine Radiance mighty and dazzling, blindingly brilliant, with tremendous momentum.

The Chaos Bell was even more extraordinary; its bell toll shone brightly, causing the universe to lose color.

However, Chen Ku on the other side was by no means weak.

"Attack!"

He let out a fierce low shout; these words were not meant for others, but were spoken to the Present Buddha Body still beside Chen Ku.

The Three Worlds Buddha Bodies, although two of them had been restrained, the Present Buddha Body still accompanied Chen Ku's side.

As the words fell, the Present Buddha Body responded with a great movement.

Only seeing it step forward, it directly shattered the myriad‑zhang high heavens, causing the void's turbulent currents to burst forth, enough to strangle everything.

Its whole body also burst forth with endless golden light, like a vast ocean surging, stretching across the void.

Even compared to the Solar Gold Wheel held by Di Jun, it was not lacking in the slightest.

The Present Buddha Body struck out, a single fist raising the momentum to collapse the heavens, directly clashing with the Solar Gold Wheel.

Clang!

Only a sound of metal and iron clashing exploded, piercing metal and splitting stone, shaking all beings' eardrums to pain.

The next moment, the Solar Gold Wheel suddenly flew backward, its light dimming somewhat.

The Three Worlds Buddha Bodies, each possessing power that shocked the world and defied convention.

Now, the divine might of the Present Buddha Body likewise amazed people.

At the same time, Chen Ku also launched a ferocious, unmatched assault.

He fixed his gaze on Taiyi.

With a thought, the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler was immediately sacrificed, appearing in Chen Ku's palm.

"Hmph, today let's see......"

"Just whether your Chaos Bell is stronger, or my Heaven-Measuring Ruler is more formidable!"

Chen Ku gave a cold shout.

Opposite, the Chaos Bell had been driven by Taiyi to its utmost power.

On the bell's exterior, sun, moon, stars, and earth, water, fire, wind circled; inside the bell, mountains, rivers, the great earth, and the myriad clans of the primordial wilderness were faintly visible.

Five‑colored radiance shone upon the heavens, the Chaos's holy might shaking the universe.

Heaven and earth lost color, the cosmos trembled!

And Chen Ku's Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler in his hand was not lacking in the slightest.

Around it swirled Primordial Qi, faintly emitting purple light, carrying an indescribable aura of the Great Dao.

Upon the ruler's surface, endless symbols arose and vanished.

In the dim, above the nine heavens, the two large characters "Heaven-Measuring" seemed to appear, written in the Innate Divine Script.

This was a clash between top‑grade spiritual treasures, a contest of law‑and‑order level.

The collision of the two top‑grade spiritual treasures did not produce the earth‑shattering, heaven‑moving din one might have expected.

On the contrary, beings merely faintly saw vast tracts of symbols annihilating, and strands of divine order chains breaking apart.

Watching this scene, Taiyi's face suddenly sank.

"Damn it!"

He let out a low shout, and then his body shook violently.

His body radiated, his qi and blood surged, and an endless stream of mana continued to be poured into the Chaos Bell, attempting to revive the might of the heaven‑opening supreme treasure.

But regarding this, Chen Ku merely gave a strange sneer.

"The Three Corpses Dao, to me, is no more than ants."

He muttered to himself a sentence that no one heard.

Although Chen Ku usually constantly speaks of suffering,

but now, being in the midst of a great battle, there is naturally no need to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.

He revealed an unprecedentedly strong aspect.

The Primordial Origin Dao and the Slay Three Corpses Dao are fundamentally two completely different concepts.

You should know that, when Chen Ku initially faced Rahu, he could fight back and forth evenly, not falling behind at all, and even nearly killed Rahu.

What's more, the one before him now is Taiyi.

As the words fell, the primordial qi within Chen Ku's body began to operate without reserve.

The Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler's might grew even greater, purple divine light spreading across heaven and earth, almost submerging everything.

Even the five-colored fine light of the Chaos Bell was swallowed bit by bit.

Not only that.

At this moment, Chen Ku's gaze suddenly turned sharp.

Without any sign, he waved his big hand.

In an instant, hundreds of millions of zhang of cold light burst forth, piercing the void.

The Slay God Spear reappears!

As soon as it manifested, it carried the might to pierce the heavens and universes, shooting toward Di Jun and Taiyi.

Seeing this, Di Jun and Taiyi were greatly startled.

The Slay God Spear's killing power is unmatched; if they were hit by this strike, their Dao bodies would surely explode on the spot.

For a moment, they could only retract their attacks and defend with all their might.

"Damn it!"

"This kid is really too monstrous."

Di Jun couldn't help but angrily shout in a low voice, his face sank like water, his eyes sinister to the extreme.

He didn't know that Chen Ku cultivated the Primordial Dao.

But countless rounds of combat made Di Jun clearly sense.

Even if he and Taiyi combined, their foundation is not even as strong as Chen Ku's alone?!

This... is simply unjust!

Taiyi said nothing, but his might is beyond doubt.

As Di Jun's words fell, Taiyi's figure moved greatly again.

This time, boundless flames covered his surroundings, blazing fiercely, burning down hundreds of millions of stars.

Behind Taiyi, a huge, unparalleled three-legged golden crow apparition manifested, covering the sky and earth, making all beings tremble.

Taiyi's speed was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, as he launched a pounce attack on Chen Ku.

This move caused all beings to erupt in a low gasp.

This fighting style is almost suicidal.

But all beings also understood Taiyi's meaning; he wanted to rely on his three-legged golden crow's top-notch foundation to clash head-on with Chen Ku.

Or rather, it's a flesh-and-blood battle where fists meet flesh.

And the facts prove that Taiyi's sudden violent fighting style also indeed had astonishing effect.

Almost in an instant, Chen Ku had no time to make any defense.

Boom!

A muffled sound transmitted, and Chen Ku's figure suddenly flew backward.

At the same time, a scarlet blood arrow also scattered in the void.

All beings stared intently, then were completely dumbfounded, faces frozen in shock.

Only saw Chen Ku's figure violently retreat, but the blood scattering in the high heavens at this moment was not his.

On the contrary, it was Taiyi!

Correct!

At this moment, Taiyi's heart was churning like waves, shocked to the utmost.

In his perception, he didn't feel like he had collided with Chen Ku's fleshly body.

Rather, it felt more like he had collided with an indestructible divine peak.

Sturdy!

Valiantly!

Under such close-quarters advance, not only did it not heavily wound Chen Ku, but it caused Taiyi's flesh to rupture, the golden crow's blood pouring out, truly tragic.

"Hiss..."

Taiyi couldn't help but draw in a breath of cold air.

Numb!

What on earth is this physical strength?!

Even compared to the Twelve Ancestor Witches and others, it is not lacking.

Taiyi's heart was greatly startled, unable to dispel it.

After coming to their senses, Di Jun and Taiyi's faces became even more solemn and grave.

Chen Ku's profound foundation, mighty physique, plus various spiritual treasures protecting his body, completely exceeded Di Jun and Taiyi's expectations.

They have clearly realized that today wanting to capture Chen Ku, compared to previous expectations, the difficulty has increased by hundreds or thousands of times.

Thinking of this, Di Jun and Taiyi glanced at each other, both seeing the turmoil in each other's hearts.

Is today's scheming against Chen Ku truly a wise move?

Compared to Di Jun and Taiyi's heaviness and stagnation of qi.

On the other hand, at this moment Zhenyuanzi's face was greatly uplifted.

"Good, great!"

"Indeed worthy of Daoist friend Chen Ku, such strength truly astonishes the world and shocks ancient and modern."

Zhenyuanzi was still entangled with the Four Great Monster Saints, yet also noticed Chen Ku's hard clash with Di Jun and Taiyi.

His expression was excited, he was overjoyed.

If only he and Red Cloud were to face the demon court's attack, there would be almost no hope.

Note: pronouns are not considered names; personal names should be romanized using Hanyu Pinyin.

The term refers to a place or faction, i. e., the Demon Court; per the rules, faction names should be translated by meaning, so it becomes "Demon Court".

We need to list all names that appear: characters (person names), places, sects, factions, official & sect rank/title, technique, item/artifact, beast, realm.

Let's go through each line and extract.

Or put another way, Hongyun could only close his eyes and await death, his life and death entirely in the thoughts of everyone in the demon court.

Fortunately, Chen Ku made such an overwhelmingly dominant move.

This gave Zhenyuanzi great hope.

Today, they still have a great chance to escape unharmed and help Hongyun preserve that strand of Primordial Purple Qi.

Although only Chen Ku came to help, Zhenyuanzi still had such confidence.

Immediately afterward, Zhenyuanzi came to his senses and stopped thinking further.

「Even so, we also need to quickly break the situation. 」

「Otherwise, we can't guarantee the demon court won't still have some trick. 」

Zhenyuanzi thought so in his heart.

Perhaps it was because they witnessed Chen Ku's overwhelming dominance, which surpasses the universe.

Zhenyuanzi's eyes blazed intensely, fiercely captivating the heart and soul.

Deep within the origin, a tremendous potential seemed to be fully activated.

Above his head, the divine light of the earth's fetal membrane shone even more brightly.

Shouting angrily, Zhenyuanzi continued to attack the four great demon sages.

Of course, although Zhenyuanzi was anxious inside, wanting to take down the four great demon sages in one fell swoop and completely break the situation was still not that easy.

The great battle between Hongyun and Kunpeng was also still ongoing.

Originally, Kunpeng had already severely injured Hongyun earlier.

As Kunpeng thought, completely capturing Hongyun was merely a matter of time.

But as the battle intensified, Kunpeng astonishingly discovered that Hongyun grew braver the more he fought.

No matter how he used various great divine abilities, drawing forth the Chaos's fierce gale that swept across the nine heavens and ten earths.

But Hongyun's vital energy surged, and he actually managed to block the Chaos's gale's killing blows time and again, remaining unharmed.

Kunpeng's face gradually turned grim!

He did not know that Hongyun's heart was already filled with sorrow and indignation.

「This time, I truly have brought harm upon Daoist friend Chen Ku. 」

「Everything is my fault for not heeding old friend Zhenyuanzi's advice back then. 」

「Otherwise, Daoist friend Chen Ku would not have been dragged into such trouble. 」

Hongyun thought so in his heart, filled with regret and guilt.

Before going to the demon court, Zhenyuanzi had already advised him not to go there rashly.

But Hongyun at that time simply did not take it to heart.

It was precisely because of his "stubbornly going his own way" that this great war was sparked, even dragging Chen Ku into it.

Thinking thus, unconsciously, Hongyun gave rise to a spirit of breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, fearless and all-out.

「Kunpeng, even if I die today, 」

「You lot, don't even think of getting your wish! 」

Hongyun gritted his teeth, saying this almost word by word.

All his fury turned into reckless strength.

Boom—

In an instant, divine sound exploded, not from outside but emanating from within Hongyun's body.

His qi and blood boiled, faintly visible clusters of flames rose, making Hongyun's whole body suffused with a blood-red hue.

In a flash, Hongyun's aura surged, and he once again furiously attacked Kunpeng.

Seeing this, Kunpeng secretly smirked.

「Damn, madman! 」

「This old Hongyun actually dares to burn his essence blood, truly mad. 」

Kunpeng's heart was greatly moved.

From his gaze, he instantly saw that Hongyun was burning his essence blood to unleash his utmost potential.

Thus, in a short time, his own strength surged dramatically.

Put another way, it amounts to overdrafting one's own strength.

Normally, unless driven to desperation, no cultivator would rashly employ such a method.

The reason is simple!

In the process of burning essence blood, if he cannot crush the opponent at the fastest speed, the final result will be Hongyun's eternal damnation.

Thinking thus, Kunpeng shifted his offense and instead went on the defensive.

If earlier Kunpeng could still suppress Hongyun, now that the latter burns his essence blood, the two are completely evenly matched.

Even, faintly, Hongyun could gain the upper hand over Kunpeng.

Naturally, Kunpeng would not similarly go mad to burn his essence blood.

Gazing deeply in the direction of the battle between Chen Ku and Di Jun Taiyi, Kunpeng seemed lost in thought.

「Hmph, once the Demon Emperor Donghuang suppresses and kills Chen Ku, he will naturally come to assist this seat. 」

「By then, Hongyun will still be merely a dying struggle. 」

Kunpeng gritted his teeth and muttered such a sentence.

For now, he can only temporarily hold back Hongyun, hoping that Di Jun Taiyi will quickly defeat Chen Ku and then come to reinforce.

The great battle shook heaven and earth, sun and moon dimmed.

The astonishment of all beings hardly ceased for a moment.

But at this moment, the Three Pure Ones in Kunlun Mountain were likewise unable to remain calm.

"Mm... Chen Ku's strength is truly formidable."

"Such unmatched bearing is indeed most to my liking."

Tong Tian's gaze was sharp, staring toward the direction of the great battle, and he sighed softly in this manner.

Tong Tian has always been decisive in slaughter, renowned for his outstanding combat prowess.

Therefore, today, toward Chen Ku, who likewise shocks the world with his slaughter and is unstoppable, he unexpectedly felt a strange admiration.

This time, regarding Tong Tian's words, neither Laozi nor Yuanshi objected.

Laozi nodded and echoed:

"This child is truly not ordinary!"

"If he can withdraw from this battle unscathed, then in the world hereafter his fame will surpass that of countless innate mighty ones."

Laozi's words hit the mark.

Today's battle is of great significance for Chen Ku.

If he ultimately loses, he will merely become gossip among all beings.

But conversely, if Chen Ku can break through, then this will be the battle that makes his name resound throughout heaven and earth.

This differs from the sentiments of Laozi and Tong Tian.

Yuanshi's gaze was deep, as if lost in thought.

"Mm... elder brother, third younger brother, have you sensed......"

"Within Chen Ku's body there seems to be a profound and unparalleled technique, repeatedly climbing ever higher."

"That feeling is like repeated rebirths, is it not?"

Yuanshi's words caused Laozi and Tong Tian's expressions to shift; they then continued to stare intently, while carefully sensing.

After a moment, Laozi's expression also changed greatly.

"This... this... could it be the Nine Turns Technique?!"
