Chapter 43: Treasure Basin Displays Its Might, Heaven-Emulating, Earth-Manifesting Shocks the Universe!

This scene came unexpectedly!

Shi Gui Dao Ren, who had been fiercely battling Chen Ku, suddenly froze, eyes wide, then looked doubtfully at the Ten Thousand Mu Auspicious Clouds in the void.

"What... what is going on?!"

Shi Gui Dao Ren was completely dumbfounded!

Chen Ku, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, had already displayed various methods shocking enough to astonish.

Now another Ten Thousand Mu Auspicious Clouds?!

This kid, just how many hidden tricks does he have?!

Shi Gui Dao Ren looked bewildered, dazed and lost.

And Jin Chan Lao Zu in the dark was also somewhat dumbfounded, frozen on the spot.

Could Chen Ku be intending to use the Ten Thousand Mu Auspicious Clouds for self-defense?!

In everyone's understanding, auspicious clouds inherently possess defensive power; once deployed, all laws cannot invade, granting an invincible innate position.

The Auspicious Clouds Golden Lamp bestowed by Hongjun Dao Zu upon Yuanshi serves the same purpose.

However, such a thought flashed and vanished.

Immediately, Jin Chan Lao Zu shook his head, denying this speculation.

After all, Chen Ku had previously held the absolute advantage, with no need to switch to defense.

Immediately, a startling idea arose in Jin Chan Lao Zu's mind.

"Is this kid aiming to break through in the battle and reach a higher realm?!"

Jin Chan Lao Zu suddenly realized, the lofty auspicious clouds are exactly the omen of corpse-slaying.

For cultivators practicing Three Corpse-Slaying, each additional corpse slain raises their realm.

Earlier, Jin Chan Lao Zu had already suspected Chen Ku was a Quasi-Sage powerhouse, deliberately posing as a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

And if he continues to break through now, wouldn't that mean he is charging toward the mid-Quasi-Sage realm, even the late stage?!

"No!"

"Absolutely cannot let this kid break through again!"

You know, Chen Ku had previously been thrashing Shi Gui Dao Ren.

If he breaks through another realm, even if I act personally, I might not be able to defeat Chen Ku.

As soon as this thought arose, Jin Chan Lao Zu directly took action.

"Treasure Basin!"

He waved his hand, and a radiant Treasure Basin instantly appeared, its golden light spreading millions of miles, illuminating the universe.

This is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, obtained by Jin Chan Lao Zu from his own treasure grotto earlier.

The effect of this spiritual treasure is also astonishing.

As long as it is mastered, it can suppress other experts' spiritual treasures, even absorb them for one's own use.

Moreover, the Treasure Basin itself, forged like immortal gold, possesses tremendous offensive power.

Under the infusion of surging laws, the Treasure Basin swells in the storm, endless immortal light pours down, releasing immense pressure.

Boom!

Then the Treasure Basin crashed down like a falling star, tremendous and terrifying!

Wherever the Treasure Basin passed, the void shattered inch by inch, completely collapsed, returning to nothing!

Jin Chan Lao Zu intended to smash Chen Ku to death with this method.

Even if unable to do so, he wished to disturb Chen Ku's state, preventing successful corpse-slaying.

At this moment, Chen Ku stood motionless beneath the Ten Thousand Mu Auspicious Clouds, his eyes slightly closed, as if immersed in a meditative state.

Seeing this, Jin Chan Lao Zu sneered even more.

In the midst of battle, to still be so distracted is truly courting death!

Watching the Treasure Basin pierce the void and about to smash Chen Ku's head, Jin Chan Lao Zu seemed to already foresee Chen Ku's body exploding, his corpse lying across Chaos.

The Treasure Basin's might had already left Shi Gui Dao Ren utterly shocked, beyond words.

Any more powerhouses?!

He clearly knew that his side consisted of himself and Linglong Lao Zu and others, totaling five, with no other helpers.

However, regardless, this was obviously unexpected good news for Shi Gui Dao Ren.

This way, his own pressure suddenly lessened.

Shi Gui Dao Ren had no time to think further, one side regulating his surging breath, the other fixedly staring at the falling Treasure Basin.

Whether Chen Ku could be killed in one fell swoop would soon be revealed.

However, at this very moment, a sudden change occurred!

Within the Ten Thousand Mu Auspicious Clouds, that figure suddenly took form.

Immediately, a tremendous law giant palm extended from the auspicious clouds.

This palm, like a divine hand, wrapped in immortal light, is immeasurable!

Its speed extremely fast, it instantly landed in the arena, hard-blocking the Treasure Basin.

Rumble!

A dull thunderous sound rang out, the Treasure Basin was blown away.

Yet that law giant palm remained solid, appearing effortless and easy.

Only then did Chen Ku finally open his eyes.

He gazed deeply at the figure within the auspicious clouds, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"Heh... the Three-Body Buddha Method is indeed not bad!"

Even this Heaven-Manifesting Earth, its power is far greater than the Three Corpses formed by the Three Corpses Method.

Chen Ku couldn't help but think.

Not bad!

This is exactly the Three Bodies Buddha Method.

Prior to this, he had already taken the Three Corpses as his foundation, had long ago comprehended the Three Bodies Buddha Method, which is more profound, more powerful, and also more suited to Chen Ku.

And that silhouette within the auspicious clouds is the Dharma Body he has condensed.

Watching Chen Ku, calm and carefree, with a smile on his face.

On the other side, the Corpse Puppet Daoist was shocked.

By this point, how could he not understand? Chen Ku has broken through again.

Moreover, from the fluctuation of that earlier palm of the Dharma Body, the Corpse Puppet Daoist also sensed a mighty aura comparable to that of a Quasi-Sage.

"You... you've broken through to Quasi-Sage?!"

The Corpse Puppet Daoist exclaimed in shock, his face turning extremely grim.

Previously, Chen Ku was merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal; perhaps I still had a chance to defeat him and seize the opportunity.

But if Chen Ku has truly broken through to Quasi-Sage, then the realm advantage I hold would vanish completely.

More importantly, the Corpse Puppet Daoist faintly sensed that the fluctuations around the recently broken-through Chen Ku seemed even deeper than his own.

Today's schemes might end up being futile, like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket.

Who would have thought, upon hearing the Corpse Puppet Daoist's words, Chen Ku remained silent, merely casting a glance full of mockery and ridicule.

"Quasi-Sage?"

"The so-called Quasi-Sage realm is not worthy to be compared with my cultivation method."

He thought this in his heart!

Not bad!

You should know, Chen Ku cultivates the Primordial Yuan True Classic, which includes the three major techniques: Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, Nine Revolutions Mystic Skill, and the Hundred Sufferings True Classic!

What he follows is truly the Primordial Yuan Dao, and also the path once walked by the Chaos Demon God.

Rather than saying he is in the Quasi-Sage realm, it would be more appropriate to say he is now a Primordial Yuan Golden Immortal.

This realm appears the same as Quasi-Sage on the surface.

But in terms of combat power, they are completely on different levels!

Whether it's physical strength, magical power, depth of Dao, or the Primordial Yuan Dao, all are stronger than Quasi-Sage.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Ku paid no heed to the still astonished and incredulous Corpse Puppet Daoist.

He suddenly turned around and looked toward another direction!

Next, we should see who it was that made a move from the shadows.

Chen Ku's gaze was captivating.

Having completed the breakthrough, his physical strength underwent another transformation, his qi and blood surging like a vast ocean sweeping forth, a great river raging.

His aura also increased manifold.

Various obscure and abstruse principles and orders interlinked, surrounding Chen Ku's person, making his appearance ever more solemn and majestic, his aura vast.

"Hmph, you sneaky rat!"

"Die!"

With a cold snort, Chen Ku once again produced a spiritual treasure—the banana fan he had obtained during his travels.

He fiercely waved his palm, and the banana fan fluttered.

Instantly, the innate gale surged forth violently from nowhere.

The gale swept like a Chaos torrent toward the direction where the Golden Toad Ancestor was.

At this moment, the Golden Toad Ancestor's expression drastically changed.
