Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

1602 Make Shiva Divine Maiden Kneel, There Is A Hole On The Wall

“My Lord, Shiva Divine Maiden has requested a meeting.”

Chu Kuangren had renamed Buddha Hall to Ghost Emperor Palace, and Po Yazhi came to inform him of the visiting request.

Chu Kuangren was studying a way to leave the Blood Ocean, so he originally wanted to tell Po Yazhi to send Shiva Divine Maiden on her way. However, a sudden thought rushed into his mind.

“Shiva Divine Maiden, the high priest of Ashura Tribe?”

“Yes, My Lord.”

“I heard she’s knowledgeable, and the divine eye on her forehead can see across the Blood Ocean and even peek into destiny to foresee the future. Is it true?”

“It is.”

“Interesting. Bring her in.”

Maybe the Shiva Divine Maiden could be of assistance.

A while later, the Shiva Divine Maiden in her glamorous robes and her beautiful looks that rivaled Tiamat entered the palace.

When she saw Chu Kuangren, one of the divine eyes on her forehead opened, but it was just for a second. The brief reaction of the divine eye was enough to surprise the Shiva Divine Maiden already.

“My Lord.”

Shiva Divine Maiden bowed and saluted humbly.

“Kneel!” Chu Kuangren bellowed coldly.

Shiva Divine Maiden could not help but frown when she heard Chu Kuangren. She was the high priest of the Ashura Tribe, which represented a noble status that was the Ashura King’s equal or higher.

However, the new ruler of the Blood Ocean wanted her to kneel at their first meeting, which triggered her emotions.

“I say kneel. Did you not hear me?”

Chu Kuangren repeated himself. A boundless aura expanded and filled the entire Ghost Emperor Palace.

The Green Lotus Mark on his forehead glimmered as well and released transcendental energy in all directions.

Shiva Divine Maiden’s body shook. In the end, she lowered his dignity and knelt before him. She then said stiffly, “My Lord.”

“You don’t sound convinced.”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“I heard of you from Po Yazhi. You’re the youngest high priest of the Ashura Tribe with the best talents. You’re not even a thousand years old yet, and you’re already an Arch Gilded Immortal. You could be a Peerless Prodigy back in the Immortal World, but that’s not an excuse for you to disrespect me.”

Chu Kuangren’s tone grew cold as he spoke.

The little glance from her divine eye was so inconspicuous that it fooled even Po Yazhi, but it failed to escape Chu Kuangren’s eyes.

He felt like he was being watched, and although it was not an invasive one, it was enough to make him unhappy.

Shiva Divine Maiden’s body quivered. She did not expect Chu Kuangren to notice her little prying move.

“You know your action just offended the ruler of the Blood Ocean, and it’s enough for me to kill you,” Chu Kuangren said, disregarding her status as the high priest.

Po Yazhi was shocked. She wanted to plead on behalf of Shiva Divine Maiden, but she dared not.

“I’m sorry for my offensive behavior. Please forgive me,” Shiva Divine Maiden said.

“Speak. Why are you here? And be on your knees!” Chu Kuangren stopped her from standing up as soon as he saw her legs moving.

Shiva Divine Maiden helplessly knelt on the floor again and said, “As the high priest of the Ashura Tribe, it’s only natural that I would visit the new ruler of the Blood Ocean.”

“Oh. Now that you’ve seen me, what do you think?”

“My Lord, you’re young and capable, and you’ve achieved the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm at such a young age. You even have control over the Blood Ocean now. In time, you will be able to surpass the Underground River Forefather and bring the Blood Ocean to a new height.”

Nobody knew whether Shiva Divine Maiden was speaking honestly or with ulterior motives.

Chu Kuangren scoffed at her flattery. “Do you think you made up for your mistake by flattering me?”

“It’s flattery, but it’s also the truth.”

“Fine. I heard the Underworld River Forefather had four disciples — Papiyas, Brahma, Shiva, and Kamadhatu. Papiyas became the Demon Lord once he left and created the Desire World Sky; Brahma joined the Buddhist world, while Shiva and Kamadhatu were nowhere to be found.

“However, Shiva’s successor appeared in the Blood Ocean and had taken up the position of the high priest in the Ashura Tribe ever since.

“You, as Shiva’s successor, must know a lot about the Blood Ocean’s secret. Do you know the way to leave the Blood Ocean?” Chu Kuangren asked.

Shiva Divine Maiden did not answer his question directly. Instead, she said, “My Lord, did you know that the Nether Abyss was also part of the Immortal World a long time ago?”

“Oh? Interesting. Continue.”

“In ancient times, when the calamity befell, the Underworld River Forefather stood against it as one of the Embodiers. In order to protect the Blood Ocean from the calamity, he separated the whole Nether Abyss Blood Ocean from the Immortal World and sent it into the Deep Void.

“All Four Great Demonic Generals and the four Ashura Kings went into slumber while the Blood Divine Daoists protected the Blood Ocean. It was until Sin Buddha’s arrival, things changed, and he ruled over the Blood Ocean.”

“Why are you telling me all this?”

“The reason why the Blood Ocean couldn’t merge with the Immortal World was because of the restriction seals left behind by the Underworld River Forefather. If the restriction seals are broken, we can return to the Immortal World.”

“Couldn’t the Sin Buddha do it?”

“He couldn’t. He might be an Embodier, but he’s not as strong as the Forefather. However, you might be able to do it as the ruler of the Blood Ocean.”

Chu Kuangren pondered.

Ever since he ruled over the Blood Ocean, he had sensed a faint restraining force in the air.

It was a powerful one, much more power than the ones at the Holy Violet Emperor Planet.

There was also a strength difference between Embodiers, and the Underworld River Forefather was undoubtedly one of the strongest.

He was one step shy from achieving Primordial as well.

The restriction seals that he left behind must be something extraordinary, so it was natural that Sin Buddha could not break them.

“I might rule over the Blood Ocean, but my strength is far from reaching the Underworld River Forefather’s level. I can’t break his restriction seals… Wait, Sin Buddha almost merged the Blood Ocean and the Immortal World, so how did he do it?

“Did he rely on the Power of Faith from the Far West Land? Was it so powerful that it rivaled the power of the Underworld River Forefather?”

Chu Kuangren pondered deeper.

The Power of Faith that Sin Buddha gathered was indeed powerful, and he had witnessed it himself before. However, it was definitely not at peak Embodier level.

How did he merge the Blood Ocean and Immortal World?

He must have done something.

“I have to go out for a bit,” Chu Kuangren said before his figure flashed and disappeared from the Ghost Emperor Palace.

Shiva Divine Maiden then looked at Po Yazhi with a bitter look. “Can I stand up now?”

“You have to ask our new ruler about that,” Po Yazhi said with a shrug.

On the other hand, Chu Kuangren appeared above the Blood Ocean.

His massive Immortal Consciousness spread out like an endless tide, covering every inch of water and land to gather information.

He spotted the islands, the Ashura Tribes that lived there, the four-hundred and eighty million Blood Divine Daoists, and the invisible restriction seals that shadowed the entire sky.

The restriction seals were everywhere, and they formed a massive invisible wall above the Blood Ocean, forcing it to wander into the Deep Void and never return to the Immortal World.

“Lil Ai, analyze that.”

“Yes…”

With Lil Ai’s analysis, Chu Kuangren found out that the invisible wall was not as sturdy as it looked.

“There’s, in fact, a hole in the wall!”
