Chapter 365: Suppressing Quan Tian, Chen Ku's Dominant Declaration!

With a wave of his hand, the spiritual treasures left behind by the Four Great Demonic Gods were all taken into his possession.

Afterwards, Chen Ku began to carefully examine and sense them.

The first item was the Divine Speed Demon Boots left by the Speed Demon God.

They seemed to be forged from extremely ancient immortal gold, with various profound and obscure patterns etched upon them, exuding a deep Daoist resonance.

Upon sensing them, Chen Ku was astonished to discover that the Divine Speed Demon Boots contained the Law of Speed within.

With a single step, one could traverse a million li of territory—this was already the minimum capability.

If further supplemented by Chen Ku's already comprehended Law of Speed, the effect would be even more astonishing.

"Hehe, whether it's hunting down others or escaping for my own life."

"These Divine Speed Demon Boots are truly an unparalleled treasure."

Chen Ku was quite satisfied.

The second spiritual treasure was the "Aurora Divine Eye" left by the Aurora Demon God.

Not bad!

This spiritual treasure was formed from the eyes of the Aurora Demon God.

Having reached that previous realm, his entire body could already be refined into a supreme treasure, accompanied by the Daoist laws he controlled.

And with this Aurora Divine Eye in hand, a single thought could unleash endless auroras, piercing through everything and suppressing opponents.

It could truly be called a killing weapon!

Even compared to some top-tier offensive spiritual treasures of the present age, it was not lacking in the slightest.

What the Decay Demon God left behind was a "Decay Vine Flute."

This item shares a similar marvelous quality with the Dragon-Phoenix Qin that Chen Ku had previously obtained.

However, when played, it releases decaying qi, causing all things to wither and decline.

The final item was a lamp left by the Twilight Demon God.

It is named the "Twilight Golden Lamp," capable of being ignited by magical power.

Once lit, what is released from within is a boundless twilight light.

Merely being bathed in its light brings the danger of exhausted lifespan and withered Dao body.

One can imagine its power is equally terrifying.

Within a single day, he had obtained four chaos-level spiritual treasures.

This time, he could truly be said to have gained abundantly.

After storing these four spiritual treasures, Chen Ku scanned the surroundings again and found no other traces of spiritual treasure aura.

"Indeed..."

"Did Ji Dou and Yang Mei leave behind no spiritual treasures at all?!"

Chen Ku muttered to himself, seemingly having long anticipated this, his expression gradually turning gloomy.

As fellow Chaos Demon Gods, Yang Mei and Ji Dou could not possibly have accumulated nothing.

And this situation might perhaps serve to confirm Chen Ku's earlier speculation.

These two might still have some unknown means capable of reviving themselves once more.

However, Chen Ku was not overly worried.

"Hmph, if they dare to appear again, I'll just kill them once more."

He let out a cold snort and said thus.

Now, Chen Ku possessed such confidence.

Especially now, having added the powers of the Speed, Twilight, Decay, and Aurora Laws.

In the future, if he encounters enemies again, suppressing and killing Yang Mei and Ji Dou would be even easier.

Thus, the great battle within the Dinghong Stele had finally come to a complete end.

Chen Ku no longer dwelled on it; with a thought, he once again employed the method of the River of Time Light.

Threads of timelines unfolded before him, and Chen Ku used them to trace back.

Not long after, following the same pattern as before, he broke free and emerged.

The instant Chen Ku appeared, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hong Yun, among others, had their expressions shift dramatically, filled with surprise and joy.

Previously, Yang Mei had also been dragged into the Dinghong Stele; Jieyin and Zhunti, the three of them, had faced no opponents.

They were merely guarding Quan Tian completely, preparing against his death and Dao extinction.

At this moment, the three hurriedly gathered around.

"Disciple, what happened?!"

"Have you suffered any injuries?!"

Jieyin spoke first, his face full of worry.

While speaking, he hastily examined Chen Ku up and down.

Seeing the latter unharmed, with a vigorous aura, Jieyin finally let out a long breath and put his mind at ease.

Zhunti also spoke up afterward.

"Junior nephew... just what is going on?!"

"Has the identity of the fake Chang'e been clarified?!"

Zhunti was even more concerned about this matter.

After all, this was their first true capture of someone impersonating a Western sentient being, also the very "mastermind" they had previously speculated about.

Zhunti also wanted to know the truth within.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku gave a faint smile.

"Hehe, Uncle Master, there's no need to worry anymore."

"That fake Chang'e is actually Jie disguised as her."

"Right now, Yang Mei and Jie have both been beheaded, their bodies and spirits destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others all raised their eyebrows, greatly surprised.

"Jie? Wasn't he the leader of the Four Great Demon Generals under Rahu back then?!"

"Hiss... Jie actually didn't die?!"

"It seems the demon clan back then still had many survivors, unknown to us."

"Ah, I see. Jie controls the Disaster Great Dao, so everything before now makes sense."

Jieyin and Zhunti exclaimed, discussing in an uproar.

Clearly, they were also quite familiar with Jie.

But in the understanding of all beings, it was believed that Jie had already fallen in the ancient Dao-Demon war.

Unexpectedly, he has survived until now—this is indeed quite shocking news.

Hong Yun was even more shocked and incredulous.

"What?!"

"Did Yang Mei Daxian also die at the hands of Daoist Chen Ku?!"

"That... that is a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!"

Hong Yun's face showed deep emotion.

Numb!

Completely numb!

Yang Mei Daxian, truly a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, an existence of overwhelming strength.

Even asking myself, if it were Hong Yun, I might not necessarily be a match for Yang Mei.

And now, such an ancient, renowned existence that shook the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has died so silently at Chen Ku's hands?!

No wonder Hong Yun is so shocked.

However, Jieyin and Zhunti appeared rather calm.

"Hehe, what's so surprising about this?!"

"I have long known that Yang Mei dared to scheme against my junior nephew—it was merely seeking his own death."

The two spoke thus, laughing.

Back when Chen Ku defeated Yang Mei, causing him to flee in disgrace, Jieyin and Zhunti had also witnessed it.

Therefore, regarding the result of suppressing Yang Mei like this, they felt not the slightest surprise.

After a moment, the few people finally calmed down.

Jieyin recalled the matter at hand, glanced at the angry Chi You and Xing Tian on the other side.

Until now, the latter still did not understand what had happened.

First, the "Chang'e" provoked trouble for the two of them.

Then Yang Mei Daxian appeared again.

Everything left Xing Tian and Chi You utterly bewildered.

However, Jieyin paid no attention to them, but turned his gaze back to Chen Ku, asking softly:

"The matter of the fake Chang'e has been resolved—how should we deal with Xing Tian and Chi You?!"

"Should we just let them return to the Wu Clan?!"

This scene could be described as overturning the heavenly order.

The exalted Sect Leader-level Jieyin actually has to ask Chen Ku?!

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Chen Ku fell into thought.

After a moment, he shook his head.

"First, take Xing Tian back to the West, then we'll talk!"

Having made the decision, he wasted no words, immediately looked at Xing Tian, and then struck out fiercely.

Chen Ku unleashed a palm strike, carrying immense power, pressing down toward Xing Tian.

Seeing this, Xing Tian and Chi You were both greatly startled.

"You......"

Xing Tian cried out in surprise, not understanding why Chen Ku suddenly attacked him.

As he spoke, he also urgently unleashed his full strength, trying to resist Chen Ku's palm.

But it goes without saying—how could Xing Tian's strength compare to Chen Ku's?!

Although his physical power is unmatched, under Chen Ku's Tathagata Divine Palm, it is still annihilated bit by bit, silently.

In the blink of an eye, he was completely subdued by Chen Ku, unable to move in the slightest.

Then, in an instant, Chen Ku temporarily cast Xing Tian into the Buddha Kingdom in his Palm.

This sudden change also left Chi You greatly alarmed and dismayed.

"Chen Ku, you... quickly release Brother Xing Tian!"

He shouted angrily, not caring about anything else, immediately brandished a Wu Clan treasure great sword, and struck out, intending to "rescue" Xing Tian.

But regarding this, Chen Ku merely shot out a gaze like lightning.

At the same time, his entire body radiated mighty and vast pressure, the aura of a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian sweeping outward.

Boom!

Just a single wave of pressure directly flung Chi You flying, retreating ten thousand li before barely stopping his form.

"If you want to save Xingtian, then let the ancestral witches come to my Mount Sumeru for a meeting!"

Chen Ku left behind these words!

Overbearing!

Powerful!

After that, he no longer paid attention to Chiyou, whose eyes were blood-red and whose fury was uncontainable.

With a turn of his body, he, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun directly opened the Door of Myriad Wonders and returned to the Western Buddhist Sect.

Watching Chen Ku and the others disappear into the distance, Chiyou gritted his teeth.

But he also knew that his strength was far from enough to contend with Chen Ku and his group.

As Chen Ku said, only ancestral witch-level beings could possibly save Xingtian.

He gritted his teeth in hatred and anger, then hurriedly rushed toward Mount Buzhou.

Chen Ku did not know this.

With the great battle ended, the heavens and earth were already in a state of turmoil.

Billions upon billions of living beings, as well as the Three Pure Ones and other sages, could no longer remain calm.

"Heavens, what an earth-shattering and scandalous great battle!"

"Yangmei the Great Immortal came for revenge, yet in the end still allowed Chen Ku to remain unharmed!"

"Before that, what exactly happened inside that divine stele?!"

"Why did Yangmei the Great Immortal's figure also completely vanish?"

All beings discussed this in confusion, speaking over one another, filled with doubt.

The Dinghong Stele isolated the outside world entirely, making it impossible for ordinary spirits to perceive.

However, no one had imagined that Yangmei had already "died" at Chen Ku's hands.

Or more accurately put, it was something living beings simply dared not imagine.

For you must know, in the eyes of billions of ordinary cultivators, Yangmei the Great Immortal is an eternal existence from ancient times—how could he possibly die?!

In Kunlun Mountain.

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones had solemn expressions, their eyes filled with deep shock and regret.

"Yangmei the Great Immortal... has fallen!"

Laozi spoke in a deep voice, saying thus.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian both trembled slightly all over, their hearts stirred by tremendous waves.

Although they had never personally witnessed the scene of the great battle.

Yet now, no matter how they sensed, they could actually not detect Yangmei's aura at all.

Therefore, even if it was hard to believe, they had no choice but to accept it.

The mighty and unmatched Yangmei had fallen at Chen Ku's hands.

Astonishing!

This is truly astonishing!

Yuanshi spoke with a sense of relief:

"Fortunately... we previously did not agree to Yangmei's proposal to join forces."

"Otherwise..."

Yuanshi's words were left unfinished, but he felt a lingering sense of fear.

Not bad!

He suddenly realized that if he and the other two had previously agreed to Yangmei's plan and jointly schemed against Chen Ku and his group,

then their current outcome would likely be even more miserable.

Tongtian could not help but exclaim in awe.

"Chen Ku... this child's strength is truly too terrifying."

"The power of a Mixed Yuan Luo Golden Immortal makes even us sages feel inadequate in comparison."

Tongtian clearly noticed that after the great battle ended, Chen Ku still wore a relaxed expression, and his aura showed no significant fluctuation.

This is sufficient to show that even after slaying Yangmei, it was not a major consumption for Chen Ku.

Of course, the Three Pure Ones did not know of the existence of the Four Great Demonic Gods.

Otherwise, if they knew Chen Ku had slain the Four Great Demonic Gods, as well as Jidu and Yangmei, they would undoubtedly be even more shocked, their eyes widened to the utmost.

No matter what, at this moment the hearts of the Three Pure Ones can be said to be deeply weighed down.

Chen Ku's presence is too dazzling.

After sighing, the three turned their gaze toward the Western Buddhist Sect and once again fell into silence.

Speaking of the Western Buddhist Sect.

Chen Ku and the others have already returned.

Countless Buddhist disciples looked upon him with awe and reverence, regarding Chen Ku as if he were a deity.

After all, to withstand Yangmei's existence as a junior cultivator.

This in itself has already left countless peers of the same generation in awe, unable to catch up.

"When will we disciples be able to achieve the same accomplishments as Senior Brother Chen Ku?!"

Even though Dizang, who is second only to Chen Ku in status, could not help but utter such a sigh.

As for the astonishment and admiration of the crowd, Chen Ku also did not pay much attention to it.

He, together with Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun, returned together to the Mahavira Hall.

Until now, several people also no longer needed to worry about eavesdroppers behind the walls.

"Disciple, after this battle, your progress....."

"It seems somewhat frightening!"

Jieyin said this with some uncertainty.

Chen Ku ultimately gained control over four more Great Dao laws, his aura changing noticeably.

Thus, Jieyin also noticed and spoke up to ask.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku concealed nothing.

"Master is unaware!"

"Previously, it was not only Yang Mei and Ji Dou scheming together."

"Moreover, Yang Mei also recruited four powerful allies."

"They are respectively the Speed Demon God, the Aurora Demon God..."

Chen Ku spoke softly, recounting in detail everything that had happened inside the Dinghong Stele beforehand.

His account also left Jieyin, Zhunti, and others stunned.

"It turns out that in the unseen depths of Chaos, so many Chaos Demon Gods lie hidden?!"

Hong Yun exclaimed in shock, utterly astonished.

He originally thought only beings of the level of Hongjun, Yang Mei, and Rahu could have survived the primordial battle of heaven's opening.

But now it seems this understanding was gravely insufficient.

Yang Mei being able to summon four great demon gods at once suffices to show that the depths of Chaos must harbor many more unknown, never-manifested Chaos Demon Gods.

This news is truly astonishing!

Jieyin and Zhunti then exclaimed in amazement:

"So speaking... the ones you dealt with, disciple, are not merely Yang Mei and Ji Dou, the two great demon gods."

"But rather... you have slain six demon gods in one fell swoop?!"

"Master had previously underestimated you."

Jieyin realized in astonishment.

Chen Ku's strength once again exceeded their understanding.
