Chapter 1419: Your Life Belongs to Me, You Have No Right to Decide, the Two Cages

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just when Iceworm Ru Xue was about to be devoured by the dead souls, a terrifying and domineering aura descended from the sky.

That aura had some sort of suppressive effect on the dead souls, seeing as all of them were immediately slammed onto the ground, trembling. It was as if the end of the world had arrived!

Upon seeing that, everyone gasped.

‘What powerful aura is this?!’

None of them understood what the dead souls were feeling at that moment. For the dead souls, however, they were facing a horrifying being superior to them in every aspect!

A white-robed figure with an ancient scroll and an ancient sword tied to his waist, a sharp gaze, and a handsome face approached them through the air.

His otherworldly demeanor stood out amidst the countless Immortal Sparks around him!

“It’s him!”

Luo Yan could not help but exclaim when she saw who it was.

The other sky-prides were surprised as well.

“I can’t believe the Nine Heavens Lapis Lazuli Realm has attracted someone like him.”

“He’s here too.”

Following Chu Kuangren’s arrival, a powerful aura emanated. Within that aura contained his Ghost Emperor’s authority, which had a suppressive effect on the dead souls.

Even the True Immortal dead souls did not stand a chance before that suppressive power.

“Master!”

Upon seeing Chu Kuangren’s arrival, Iceworm Ru Xue guiltily shrunk her neck.

“Oh? Am I your Master now? Aren’t I a demon?” Chu Kuangren teased while looking at Iceworm Ru Xue.

Knowing that he had heard her mumbling earlier, Iceworm Ru Xue immediately said, “I didn’t mean any disrespect. Please forgive me, Master.”

“It’s alright. You can continue serving me with respect as usual,” Chu Kuangren replied indifferently.

Then, he looked at Iceworm Ru Xue and was quite satisfied with her actions earlier.

Despite being in a critical situation, she still had her clan members’ safety and well-being in mind. She was even willing to sacrifice herself to save them too. That proved she was a very loyal and affectionate person.

Having Iceworm Ru Xue serve him would be many times better than someone else with malicious intent.

“However, you have forgotten something. The moment I became your Master, your life is no longer yours but mine!”

“You’re only allowed to sacrifice yourself for me and me alone! You have no right to make any decision!” Chu Kuangren said apathetically, his gaze piercing through her like lightning.

Iceworm Ru Xue trembled. She knew he was unhappy with her willingness to sacrifice herself for her clan members.

‘How could such a tyrannical person exist in this world?’ Iceworm Ru Xue muttered in her heart.

After that, she looked at Iceworm Feng and the others and let out a soft sigh.

She had put her life in danger to save them earlier.

However, all of her clan members were only thinking of saving themselves at that critical moment. None of them ended up helping her, not even Iceworm Feng, who admired her the most.

Although it was her choice to do so just now, she could not deny the disappointment she felt.

“I understand. From this day onward, my life is forever yours, Master,” Iceworm Ru Xue said.

‘Oh well, I’ve recognized him as my Master anyway. Besides, he saved me back then, so it’s only normal that my life belongs to him.’

At that moment, Iceworm Ru Xue had truly accepted the fact that Chu Kuangren was her master.

“Very well.” Chu Kuangren nodded gently.

Iceworm Feng and the others were a little further away, but they could still hear Chu Kuangren and Iceworm Ru Xue’s conversation clearly.

At that moment, all of them were stunned and confused.

They could not believe that Iceworm Ru Xue, their noble, untainted, and mighty goddess, had recognized Chu Kuangren as her master.

At that thought, a strong dissatisfaction filled Iceworm Feng.

He hated himself for not being able to save Iceworm Ru Xue just now and was dissatisfied with the fact that Iceworm Ru Xue had recognized Chu Kuangren as her master.

“You b*stard!” Iceworm Feng said through gritted teeth.

The other iceworm clan members were all red with rage as well. Their anger grew as their impression of their goddess shattered.

They would rather have Iceworm Ru Xue die in the hands of the dead souls than be Chu Kuangren’s slave. At the very least, she would still be that pure goddess they had known.

Just then, a white-robed figure came before Chu Kuangren and spoke to him while panting. “Chief, a horde of dead souls is coming our way.”

“Oh.”

Chu Kuangren blinked and looked into the distance.

Countless dead souls were heading toward that location from all directions. It seemed they had sensed the energy fluctuations coming from this place earlier.

“By the heavens, that’s too many dead souls.”

“Most of them are Earthen and Heavenly Immortals too. There’s even a few True Immortals among them.”

“Rumor has it that the Arcane Deity Sect is a sacred cultivation orthodoxy for all female cultivators on the Holy Violet Planet. Apparently, every female cultivator would dream of coming here, which seems true.”

The onlooking sky-prides were shell-shocked as they looked at the number of incoming dead souls.

Some cultivators who successfully escaped that battle earlier immediately retracted their aura. They tried concealing their presence as best they could, fearing that the dead souls would notice them.

“They’re dead.”

Iceworm Feng looked at Chu Kuangren in the distance.

Even a Gilded Immortal would be trampled to death with the ridiculous number of dead souls coming toward them, let alone Chu Kuangren and a few others.

Besides Iceworm Feng, many others also believed that.

However, if they were better informed about the current news, they would have learned of Chu Kuangren wiping out the Dragon clan. Perhaps they would change their opinion if they knew that.

The Dragon clan had dozens of Gilded Immortals, yet Chu Kuangren killed them all.

What were those dead souls to him?

As thousands of dead souls charged towards their location, their Yin qi swept out, rushing to fill the land and sky.

All of those dead souls were female cultivators.

Each of them used to be an elegant and charming female Immortal. Now that they been reduced to ferocious dead souls, the only thing on their minds was to protect the Arcane Deity Sect.

Chu Kuangren’s expression remained indifferent when he saw them.

He simply waved his arm, and three Samsara Emperor Seals flew out from him.

Then, he immediately channeled his Ninth-grade True Immortal’s Core energy. A vast surge of Ghost Emperor authority roared out and instantly enveloped the surrounding area!

That aura was incredibly terrifying to many cultivators.

However, to the dead souls, that aura was not only terrifying, but it also brought an instinctive sense of respect they had deep within them!

The three Samsara Emperor Seals hovered in the air, illuminating the whole area with their Immortal Sparks!

The dead souls trembled under the radiance of the Immortal Sparks as they were slammed onto the ground.

There were thousands or millions of dead souls bowing before Chu Kuangren now. One could only imagine how magnificent the scene was.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who initially thought Chu Kuangren would not survive were even more stunned.

“They possess a deep obsession, so instead of getting reincarnated, they willingly imprison themselves at the Arcane Deity Sect?”

Chu Kuangren looked at the dead souls as he pondered. ‘Could all these female cultivators be obsessed with this place?’

He mobilized his Immortal Consciousness to cover most of the Arcane Deity Sect.

It did not take long before he noticed something was not right with the place.

He found countless Daoist patterns buried deep underneath the Arcane Deity Sect, intertwining and forming a great formation.

“Lil Ai, analyze this formation.”

“Very well.”

Lil Ai’s analysis was soon completed.

The great formation possessed a soul-binding effect that trapped the souls of the many female cultivators of the Arcane Sect here, turning them into earthbound souls.

As the name implied, earthbound souls were souls bound to the land and could never escape.

“This great formation and the female cultivators’ deep obsessions are the reasons why the millions of female cultivators’ dead souls exist in the Arcane Deity Sect. Even if they have passed on and become dead souls, they can never be reincarnated.”

Chu Kuangren mumbled, finally seeing the truth hidden within the Arcane Deity Sect.

‘Placed upon this land, this great formation is akin to a physical cage for the dead souls.’

‘And the deep obsessions they had before they died has ended up a spiritual cage for them.’

‘Being trapped by these two cages, how could any of these female cultivators possibly move on and be reincarnated?’
