Chapter 45: Chen Ku: Want to run? Even captives must be brought back to the West!

Golden Toad Old Ancestor and Corpse Puppet Daoist fell silently at Chen Ku's feet.

The Quasi-Sage aura also gradually retracted, fluctuating.

On his face still lingered an expression of utter shock and utter terror.

Obviously, the power of Chen Ku's palm far exceeded their expectations.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's bodily qi finally settled.

He smiled with satisfaction and glanced up at the huge Dharma-body apparition.

"This Three-Bodies Buddhist Dharma is indeed extraordinarily powerful!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that before my master and uncle could research it, I instead brought it forward and expanded it."

"Not bad, not bad..."

Chen Ku laughed while muttering to himself.

What he said was not bad!

You know, nowadays Jieyin Zhunti hasn't even established the Dao lineage, let alone turned to cultivate the Buddhist Dao.

According to the original heavenly trend, it should be in later ages that Jieyin Zhunti attains Sainthood, and only after jointly deducing for several years do they research this Three-Bodies Buddhist Dharma.

However, in this life, Chen Ku, relying on his memories of two lifetimes, his foresight, plus his heaven-defying comprehension, has thus advanced who knows how many years and already mastered this Dharma.

Of course, this can at most be considered a slight alteration of minor trends, not a major one.

Therefore, Chen Ku also does not worry about provoking the Heavenly Dao in the dark.

More importantly, his Dharma body is virtually identical to his true form.

Not only is their strength comparable, but the Dharma body also possesses extremely strong learning ability.

Just as before, Chen Ku directly handed the Ultimate Bracelet to the Dharma body to wield.

With a single strike, it can shatter the good corpses of the two mighty Corpse Puppet Daoist and Golden Toad Old Ancestor.

It can be said to achieve perfect harmony with Chen Ku's mind.

In short, his Dharma body can be called limitless in potential.

Moreover, know that this is merely a single Dharma body.

Given time, if one could cultivate the Dharma body, Retribution body, Transformation body, and the Three Buddha bodies to completion.

Then, regardless of Chen Ku's own strength, it would be equivalent to directly increasing it by more than fourfold.

Within the same realm, he is undoubtedly invincible.

Even fighting across realms is no problem.

After a long while, Chen Ku finally suppressed his feelings of joy and anticipation.

His gaze shifted, and he turned to look at the two divine lights before him.

Treasure Basin!

Myriad Puppet Dao Scripture!

These are precisely the two individuals' innate spiritual treasures.

They have already fainted, their divine sense unable to control these two spiritual treasures any longer.

Thus, they transformed into two strands of immortal light, drifting and hovering in the void.

"Hehe, this is my spoil of war."

He muttered triumphantly.

Chen Ku, without courtesy, waved his hand and stored both treasures away.

Rolling magical power surged forth, penetrating the two great spiritual treasures.

Soon, the original owner's divine sense imprint within them was directly erased.

Only thus do these two treasures truly belong to Chen Ku.

With this gain, Chen Ku became even more delighted.

"I am the innate bitter bamboo root, naturally possessing a keen sensitivity to spiritual roots."

"Now, with the addition of this Treasure Basin, seeking opportunities for spiritual treasures in the future is also no problem."

"Not bad!"

What Chen Ku values most is not the offensive capability of this Treasure Basin, but its ability to attract other spiritual treasures.

Thus, spiritual roots and spiritual treasures can both sense its whereabouts.

What worry is there about not being able to further enrich our foundation?!

As for that Myriad Puppet Dao Scripture, Chen Ku also secretly pondered.

If he were to use this treasure, he did not know whether he could control that earlier Quasi-Sage-level puppet.

Of course, this speculation flashed and then passed.

Now is not the time to test these.

"Damn it, you dare?!"

Just then, the spiritual treasure was taken away, the divine sense imprint in the dark erased, and the Corpse Puppet Daoist and Golden Toad Old Ancestor also awoke in shock.

Having just seen the situation, the Golden Toad Old Ancestor immediately flew into a rage, his eyes nearly bursting, grinding his teeth as he spoke hatefully.

That Treasure Basin can be said to be the strongest spiritual treasure under his control, yet now it has been directly taken by Chen Ku?!

This time, it's truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.

However, the Golden Toad Old Ancestor's anger, in Chen Ku's eyes, is nothing but impotent fury.

"How?"

"You dare to act against me, don't I deserve to collect some interest?"

"If you want to snatch my spiritual treasure, you'd better prepare to be counter-snatched by me."

Chen Ku glared at the Golden Toad Ancestor with righteous confidence and replied thus.

Upon hearing this, the latter almost spat blood from anger again.

Meanwhile, the Corpse Puppet Daoist, on the other hand, was more adept at reading the situation.

After all, the Golden Toad Ancestor was still a powerhouse of Xiating; even after losing his treasure in pain, he might later receive compensation from Xiating.

But as a loose cultivator, the Corpse Puppet Daoist would truly have nothing left once he lost his natal treasure.

Therefore, unlike the Golden Toad Ancestor's furious glare, the Corpse Puppet Daoist's expression shifted for a moment.

Afterwards, he actually forced out a smile.

"Hehe, this… Fellow Daoist Chen Ku!"

"Earlier, it was my fault; I shouldn't have coveted your fortune, Fellow Daoist."

"Please return my myriad puppet dao charter, Fellow Daoist; I will surely not become your enemy again, alright?!"

The Corpse Puppet Daoist hesitated not, directly choosing to yield.

By now he could see that robbing Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others? It was pure fantasy.

As long as he could retrieve his myriad puppet dao charter, what else would he care about?!

However, upon hearing that, Chen Ku calmly said:

"What do you mean 'your myriad puppet dao charter'?!"

"This is clearly my treasure; what does it have to do with you?!"

Upon these words, the Corpse Puppet Daoist stared dumbfounded!

Damn…

Familiar!

Too familiar!

When Chen Ku earlier snatched the quasi-saint puppet, wasn't it exactly the same line?!

This brat's thick skin once again refreshed the Corpse Puppet Daoist's imagination.

"You… hum, I will certainly not let this rest!"

Seeing that demanding the treasure was hopeless, the Corpse Puppet Daoist completely broke down.

With a cold snort, he immediately prepared to turn and leave.

However, Chen Ku suddenly spoke again:

"Want to leave?!"

"Hehe… probably not that easy."

This sentence made both the Corpse Puppet Daoist and the Golden Toad Ancestor shudder, turning to look at Chen Ku in astonishment.

His treasures have been snatched by this brat; what else does he want?!

Before the two could speak, Chen Ku fiercely unleashed a palm strike.

"Hehe, since you are already my captives in my hand."

"Then the West is your final destination."

The Palm Buddha Realm reappears!

Clang—

Clang—

In an instant, huge divine chains of order appeared, spanning the void, violently probing toward the two.

The Corpse Puppet Daoist and the Golden Toad Ancestor's faces changed drastically, finally understanding Chen Ku's meaning.

Not only did he want to seize their treasures, but he also intended to bring them themselves back to the West to forcibly convert them.

This damn…

Shameless!

Too shameless!

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Having no time to think, they could only flee desperately, hoping to escape.

However, Chen Ku having entered the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal realm, the power of his Palm Buddha Realm also increased accordingly.

The mighty chains of order instantly tore through hundreds of millions of feet of void, crashing down upon the two.

Bound by such divine chains, no matter how hard the two struggled, they could not break free.

In the end, they could only be forcibly dragged into the Buddha Realm.

Their screams and roars likewise faded away.

Having done all this, Chen Ku finally let out a long breath and casually clapped his hands.

"I wonder how my master and uncle are faring now?!"

He then turned his gaze toward the direction where Jieyin and Zhunti were.

The great battle has ended; it's time to go find my master and uncle.
