Chapter 39: Palm lines are the law veins, knuckles turn into Sumeru!

Chen Ku looked at the Corpse Puppet Daoist, utterly speechless.

"What does your Quasi-Sage war have to do with me?!"

"If you're capable, go fight my master and uncle!"

Chen Ku said this as if it were obvious.

This remark left the Corpse Puppet Daoist on the other side with a bewildered expression.

Good fellow!

"You brat, you're shameless enough—you'd even sell your own master and uncle?!"

"You don't think of joining forces with your own master and uncle against the enemy, but you want to see Jieyin and Zhunti take on five opponents?!"

"Surely, at this moment Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't help but exclaim, 'What great filial piety in the hall!'"

However, seeing Chen Ku so timid, the Corpse Puppet Daoist's confidence surged.

"Capturing this brat would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

On the other side, Linglong Old Ancestor and the other three mighty ones had already paired up, each going to deal with Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Hehe, brat, cut the nonsense!"

"Today, you have no way to escape!"

With a cold chuckle, the Corpse Puppet Daoist stepped closer, looking as if he had Chen Ku already in his grasp, utterly sinister.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's face grew even more anguished.

"Ah… suffering!"

"As a Quasi-Sage powerhouse, you're attacking a Great Luo Golden Immortal like me?"

"Shameless, truly utterly shameless."

Chen Ku sighed thus, his words faint, his tone extremely heavy.

Hearing this, the Corpse Puppet Daoist's mouth twitched fiercely.

"Quasi-Sage versus Great Luo!"

He also knew that if this got out, it would certainly be hard to speak of nicely!

However, upon reflection, the primordial heavens and earth have always respected strength, the weak preyed upon by the strong.

As long as I can kill Chen Ku before me and seize all his spiritual treasures for myself.

By then, who would dare question me?

Thinking this, the Corpse Puppet Daoist's expression turned colder and more hostile, looking down on Chen Ku with overbearing arrogance.

"Hah… brat, you'd better know your place!"

"If you voluntarily hand over your spiritual treasures, I might spare your life."

At this moment, the Corpse Puppet Daoist seemed to have the feeling of a cat toying with a mouse.

After all, the gap between great realms is like a chasm, fundamentally impossible to bridge.

Even though Chen Ku is at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, under my Quasi-Sage power he can only be crushed and beaten.

Who would have thought, Chen Ku still paid no heed to this.

He continued to speak on his own:

"Suffering… suffering…"

"Suffering… suffering…"

"We have never feuded with anyone; why must we suffer this…"

Chen Ku repeatedly voiced his suffering, each utterance louder than the last.

But if observed closely, one would see that although Chen Ku's face was full of sorrow, he showed no fear or shock.

Moreover, as Chen Ku's words left his mouth, a profound and ineffable Dao rhythm aura gradually permeated his surroundings, barely perceptible.

On the other side, hearing Chen Ku's words, the Corpse Puppet Daoist originally wore a sneer.

But as Chen Ku's voice of suffering continued, his divine sense suddenly fell into a daze.

The killing intent originally chilling in his heart also diminished, weakening somewhat.

In its place emerged a faint sense of pity and compassion!

"Not good!"

The Corpse Puppet Daoist silently gasped, then instantly snapped awake.

His pupils contracted as he stared at Chen Ku, utterly shocked.

"This brat is truly strange!"

"How can his words cause fluctuations in my emotions?!"

"Not bad!"

By this point, the Corpse Puppet Daoist finally realized that each time Chen Ku spoke of suffering, it actually stirred his emotions.

In fact, this was precisely the dark operation of Chen Ku's Chaotic Origin True Classic, revealing the intended function and power of the Hundred Sufferings True Classic from the beginning.

"Courting death!"

The Corpse Puppet Daoist gave a cold shout.

He could see that Chen Ku was unwilling to voluntarily hand over his spiritual treasures.

If so, there's nothing more to say—just attack.

Before his words even faded, he leapt forward ferociously, charging at Chen Ku with a terrifying momentum.

"How terrifying is the might of a Quasi-Sage?!"

For a moment, the surrounding chaos mist rose and intertwined, shifting unpredictably.

Moreover, the Corpse Puppet Daoist's aura surged, his pressure seizing hearts and souls, shattering one great star after another.

The bone-chilling cold aura spread out, revealing the Dao cultivated by the Corpse Puppet Daoist to be a rather yin and evil, strange Dao.

On the other side, seeing the Corpse Puppet Daoist pounce over to attack, Chen Ku also felt his expression tighten.

"As expected..."

"This Primordial Chaos True Scripture still cannot fully shake the divine sense of a Quasi-Sage level?"

Chen Ku couldn't help but sigh inwardly, though he wasn't overly disappointed.

After all, he had already anticipated such an outcome.

Immediately after, his gaze suddenly firmed, cold lightning burst forth, and his sharpness shone fully.

Since delaying is useless, he also fears no battle!

Moreover, to clash head-on with a Quasi-Sage using a Great Luo Golden Immortal's cultivation obviously leaves no room for him to hold back.

"Tathagata Divine Palm!"

Chen Ku let out a low shout, thrust out a palm, and directly displayed this top-tier divine ability he had initially comprehended.

This divine ability is an upgraded version of the Palm Buddhist Kingdom, with even greater terrifying power.

For a moment, the myriad swastika symbols filled the sky, blocking out the sun; the murmurs of countless Buddhist disciples echoed, deafeningly loud—needless to say more.

However, besides that, an even more shocking scene appeared.

But see, above Chen Ku's head, a massive palm of law condensed, supremely terrifying.

Where the five fingers hung down, golden lotuses lay across, extraordinarily holy!

Palm lines are law veins; fingertips transform into Sumeru!

The mechanism of birth and death's derivation flickers in and out, obscure and profound, unfathomable to ghosts and gods.

That scene seemed as if there truly existed an immeasurable being, seated atop Chaos, lowering such a heaven-shaking, earth-shaking palm.

A colossal palm seal crashed down, unstoppable, shattering the Chaos universe!

In an instant, the Corpse Puppet Daoist gazed up at the sky, his expression drastically changed.

"This..."

He couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

But before his words could leave his mouth, only seeing the path of the colossal palm seal, the Corpse Puppet Daoist's divine abilities and laws' fluctuations actually crumbled inch by inch, completely sank, and ceased to exist.

The Corpse Puppet Daoist's pupils contracted again, shockingly abnormal.

But before he could make another move, the Tathagata Divine Palm's momentum did not wane, and it heavily struck his body again.

At this moment, the Corpse Puppet Daoist clearly felt the terror of such a divine ability.

Rather than saying it is the power of a single palm seal, it is more like the collision of a world.

After all, this Tathagata Divine Palm is evolved from the Palm Buddhist Kingdom as its basis.

The mighty power it contains is also comparable to a world.

"Pfft..."

Almost in an instant, the Corpse Puppet Daoist spat out a mouthful of blood without hesitation, his figure suddenly flung out, like a leaf in the wind, full of miserable and sorry appearance.

He retreated straight for tens of thousands of li before the Corpse Puppet Daoist barely managed to stop his figure.

"You... how is this possible?!"

The Corpse Puppet Daoist's Daoist robe fluttered, resonating within the universe; he incredulously looked toward Chen Ku on the other side and said in a deep voice.

"Strong!"

"Too strong!"

Chen Ku's strength far exceeded the Corpse Puppet Daoist's imagination.

Having the form of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet the divine abilities and laws he displayed were already comparable to Quasi-Sage level.

More importantly, Chen Ku's physical strength was likewise astonishing to the world.

Without exaggeration, in the Corpse Puppet Daoist's perception, Chen Ku, even if merely using his physical strength, was like a savage beast charging, ferocious beyond compare, unstoppable.

Immediately after, the Corpse Puppet Daoist seemed to understand something, and let out a cold laugh.

"Hmph, what a brat pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!"

"I actually underestimated you before."
