Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chu Kuangren's cognizance was terrifyingly high. Back at Thunder Drum Peak, when he first got the Immovable Enlightenment King's Sword Seal and used it in battle, all the Buddhas were shocked.

Now, he comprehended the Divine Curse Seal in just one day.

Xue Huo could not believe his eyes.

"Curse Dao is just a minor Dao. There's nothing special about it," Chu Kuangren said.

Xue Huo was shocked and enraged by his words. He glared at Chu Kuangren and released his spirit energy, trying to reverse his Great Dao for an attack.

"Chu Kuangren, I'll kill you!" he shouted.

All kinds of curses were cast at Chu Kuangren, but they were all blocked.

"Die."

Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign at Xue Huo's head.

"Bang!"

Xue Huo's head exploded like a watermelon.

The Great Dao in his body disintegrated instantly.

Then, a streak of light flew out from his body.

Chu Kuangren wanted to stop it, but the light penetrated his Great Dao energy and struck his palm, where it transformed into a strange violet pattern.

On a closer look, the pattern resembled a skull.

"Chu Kuangren, my soul is the curse, and I will torment you for good!" Xue Huo's voice came from the skull-like pattern on his palm.

Chu Kuangren pondered as he looked at the seal on his palm.

"Master, this is some kind of curse seal that allows one to pinpoint your location," Lil Ai said.

A curse seal that could pinpoint his location?

Did Xue Huo use his soul to leave a tracker in him just so the other Curse Tribe people could locate Chu Kuangren and avenge him?

"Ha! Let them come." Chu Kuangren chuckled.

He was not bothered by the curse seal.

He and Mingyue Wuxia headed out of the cave.

Then, he rose into the sky. With just a thought, all the spiritual qi on the island rumbled as if they grew excited.

Mingyue Wuxia's eyes glistened when she saw Chu Kuangren controlling the spiritual qi of the island.

"He has become the Island Ruler."

Further away, the human sky-prides were still suffering from the curse.

Many of them had reached the last stage of Heavenly Human Five Deterioration and could die at any moment. They were all on the brink of despair.

"I didn't expect I would die in such a terrible way."

"Yeah, it's horrible."

"Sigh. We didn't find ourselves any useful Opportunities of Fortune, but we lost our lives."

They all looked at each other with a bitter smile.

Many of them used to be rivals or enemies, but they all shared the same fate now.

Hatred and hostility were based on their different stances.

After a pitiful grin, the negligible hatred and hostility faded, leaving only sorrow and grievance.

"Junior Sister Wang, I have always liked you. Now that we're dying, I don't want to bring this secret to my grave."

A cultivator, who looked like an old man as he had entered the last stage of Heavenly Human Five Deterioration, confessed to another old lady. The old lady was actually a beautiful woman, but the curse had caused her to age rapidly. She was sulking when she heard her senior brother's confession. It caught her by surprise. Her eyes teared up, and she said with a trembling voice, "Senior Brother Li, I like you too, but I'm already an old lady…"

"Silly girl, you're always beautiful to me."

"Senior Brother Li, I wish you would confess earlier."

"If there's a next life, I'll find you."

The old man and old lady hugged each other.

Some blessed them, some barely reacted, and some mocked themselves for being single.

Some believed they should do something useful at the end of their lives, so they got up.

"This is the Human Ancestral Land. I will leave my treasures and inheritance here for future generations. It's the least I can do now for the human race."

"I will do the same."

"It's not a bad place to die either."

They all left their treasures and inheritance behind.

Then, they got together and waited for death to arrive.

Some refused to give up just like that and continued to fight the curse, but their efforts were useless.

In the end, they all fell to the ground helplessly.

"I haven't achieved my goal, and I'm already dying in such a terrible way. I don't want this," a cultivator cried.

Very few people could calmly face death in the face. Even cultivators are no exception. A sense of despair spread among the crowd. Just then, the island started to tremble, and the spiritual qi rumbled.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden commotion.

"Look, look there!" Someone pointed further away.

At the distant horizon, a significant amount of spiritual qi coalesced as an individual emerged from a burst of Immortal Sparks, casting a Buddhist Light across the land.

It was Chu Kuangren.

He emerged from the Buddhist Light, carrying a holistic aura.

Endless Buddhist Light shone from his body and enveloped every human on the island. Wherever the Buddhist Light shone, the curse energy was dissipated.

The aged cultivators regained their energy and were instantly revitalized. Their withered faces and limbs rejuvenated, and their white hair turned black. In just a blink of an eye, they reverted back to their youthful selves.

The Buddhist Light punctured through the mist of despair.

"I've recovered!"

"My powers are back!" "This is great!"

"Chu Kuangren saved us! He did it!"

Everyone was thrilled to see Chu Kuangren. They looked at him with reverence, gratitude, and zeal.

Chu Kuangren was their savior!

"Bang!"

The void trembled, and black ominous patterns started to spread like a spider web.

A huge amount of curse energy gushed out from the patterns and formed a vicious monster.

It was a cursed beast!

"So this is the true form of the Heaven-earth Grand Curse?" Chu Kuangren looked at the cursed beast with interest.

The Heaven-earth Grand Curse was an Ultimate-level cultivation technique recorded in the Divine Curse Seal, which was also one of the curses that Xue Huo left behind.

The curse had strange energy, which could be used to cast a curse on people, items, fate, or even the realm, hence the name.

Xue Huo had cast the Heaven-earth Grand Curse on the island and collected nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sky-prides' blood to cast the Blood Curse.

With both curses complementing each other, he was able to target all humans on the island.

Now that Xue Huo was dead, the Heaven-earth Grand Curse still remained active.

The Heaven-earth Grand Curse's cursed beast roared and attacked Chu Kuangren.

"Hmph." Chu Kuangren grunted. Without even moving his hands, the spiritual qi of the island surged and transformed into tens of thousands of sword qi.

The cursed beast was instantly perforated by the sword qi storm.

Chu Kuangren then waved his hand and unleashed a blast of spiritual qi to wipe out the Heaven-earth Grand Curse's energy.

As he was the Island Ruler, he could control and use the island's spiritual qi and Daoist law.

Even a Monarch was no match for him on the island.

Xue Huo, who cast the Heaven-earth Grand Curse, could not even take one hit from Chu Kuangren, let alone the puny cursed beast.
