1399 Chu Kuangren Arrives, the Third Dragon Crown Prince, Turned Around and Fled
The Thirteen Yellowstorm Riders were ruthless and powerful sand bandits who roamed the great desert. They were all top-tier cultivators.
Their leader, a cultivator known as the One-eyed Dragon was a very well-known Prodigy sky-pride. Although he was not famous in the Interstellar Arena, everybody on the Holy Violet Planet knew his name. In particular, he younger generation living on the Golden Continent knew him as a merciless fiend. Countless sky-prides had died in the hands of this man, with several older-generation elites among them too.
The Thirteen Yellowstorm Riders were said to be unstoppable under the One-eyed Dragon's leadership.
"I heard the Thirteen Yellowstorm Riders have been traversing the great desert for years, robbing many great orthodoxies who entered this domain. As no one dares to provoke them, they're allowed to carry out their crimes without fear or repercussions. However, it looks to me that someone powerful has their backs."
"That's right. I heard that the One-eyed Dragon, especially, is supported by an ancient clan."
"None of the Eight Golden Family Sects dare to seek trouble from that ancient clan."
The Thirteen Yellowstorm Riders' arrival sparked much discussion among the cultivators.
Meanwhile, the Third Dragon Crown Prince glanced at them and could not care less about what they were talking about.
He was a Prodigy from the Dragon Palace, after all. As for the Dragon Palace, they were a top-tier orthodoxy second only to the greatest forces in the Immortal World!
Even for an ancient clan of the Holy Violet Planet, no matter how ancient they might be, how could they compare to the likes of the Dragon Palace?
At that time, an ice-cold aura erupted and swept across the land.
The dry, hot desert was soon turned into a cold winter landscape as if a blizzard had arrived.
"What's going on?!"
"This aura… I can't believe it's strong enough to change the desert's environment. Who has arrived this time?"
Everyone looked around.
It did not take long before they saw a white-robed woman holding a paper umbrella, slowly approaching the area through the winter chill.
That woman's skin was as white as ice, and she had a gorgeous and refined appearance.
Paired with the snowy background, the stunning beauty outlined a beautiful painting-like scenery within everyone's mind.
Someone soon recognized the woman, and a cautious look immediately appeared in their eyes.
"It's that iceworm from the Frost Dragon Mountain!" the One-eyed Dragon murmured.
The Frost Dragon Mountain was a top-tier yokai orthodoxy in the Holy Violet Planet. Even in the Immortal World, they could be considered a minor force.
The most powerful Prodigy from Frost Dragon Mountain was an iceworm.
It was that woman who was walking toward everyone.
"This dragon's blood will be of great use to me!"
The iceworm, Ru Xue, felt a slight throbbing within her bloodline as she looked at the Golden Dragon Well.
She believed that if she were to succeed in refining the power contained in the dragon's blood, her bloodline would evolve as well.
"I have reached the seventh stage of my Nine Heavenly Iceworm Transformation. If I can refine this dragon's blood, I might reach the eighth stage immediately!"
A trace of excitement flashed in the Iceworm Ru Xue's eyes.
As many other sky-prides arrived, all of them were eyeing the dragon's blood inside the dragon well. However, the golden Buddhist lotus continued swaying in the air, dazzling people with its light.
Boom!
At that moment, the One-eyed Dragon took action.
He immediately unleashed a slash with the long saber in his hand, and a saber ray shot across the sky, eventually landing on the Buddhist lotus.
The Buddhist lotus merely trembled a little but suffered no damage.
"Which Buddhist elite created this Buddhist lotus? To think it can withstand an attack from my saber."
The One-eyed Dragon frowned.
He looked at Shang Honghua absorbing the dragon's blood and then at the Third Dragon Crown Prince. He said, "Hey, Dragon Tribe. Let's all join forces for now and destroy this Buddhist lotus and that woman inside it first. What do you say?"
The Third Dragon Crown Prince pondered and replied, "Very well!"
It was not that he could not destroy this Buddhist lotus, but seeing that free labor was at his doorstep, there was no way he could refuse such an offer.
"Prime Gold Emperor Dragon Sword!"
"Heaven Breaking Slash!"
"Great Frost Fortress!"
Every sky-pride present attacked.
A barrage of Immortal Techniques and divine abilities flickered continuously in the void, and their terrifying shockwave spread everywhere!
Boom! Boom!
There were sword shadows, saber rays, and chilling blizzards!
All sorts of energies blasted onto that golden Buddhist lotus, causing even the great desert to tremble violently.
When the dust and smoke settled, the Buddhist lotus started to wilt, and its Buddhist Light looked very dim compared to earlier.
"I can't believe such a huge scale attack can't destroy this Buddhist lotus. It's truly extraordinary."
"It's that string of prayer beads."
"Hmph. So what if we can't destroy it this time? All it takes is just another round of attack!"
After all, they had already destroyed a great portion of the Buddhist lotus's power.
If they attacked again, they would surely destroy it.
At that thought, everyone channeled their Immortal Core energies and unleashed another barrage of attacks!
Terrifying explosions reverberated throughout the skies!
Small sandstorms swept out while smoke and dust rose from the ground!
Everyone quickly looked over. Amidst the smoke and dust, that golden Buddhist lotus had withered. However, it remained, glimmering with faint Buddhist Light now.
Everyone's gaze narrowed with disbelief at that sight.
"How… How is this possible?!"
"This Buddhist lotus is still intact?!"
"No, that can't be right."
Suddenly, the Third Dragon Crown Prince noticed something. His gaze became stern, and he immediately went on high alert.
The Iceworm Ru Xue, the Thirteen Yellowstorm Riders, and others noticed it too.
Unbeknownst to them, several layers of sword qi barriers had appeared before the golden Buddhist lotus!
It was those sword qi barriers that withstood their attacks!
"To be able to fend off all of our attacks, who did this?!"
"Is… Is that one of the Twenty-four Sword Dao Techniques, the Nine-layered Sword Barrier?"
Some of them could not believe their eyes.
That technique had fended off the attacks from every sky-pride present here. Even a Prodigy would have difficulty doing something like that, so what kind of person was it?
"The Nine-layered Sword Barrier…"
Some of the more well-informed sky-prides already have a vague guess in their minds.
Their faces immediately showed a horrified look, and they quickly left quietly, not daring to stay for too long.
While everyone was in shock and on high alert, countless strands of sword qi suddenly rose into the sky. The wind blew, and the clouds swept away as if heralding the arrival of their supreme sword master!
Then, the space at the center of the sword qi tore open!
A white figure slowly walked out with thousands of sword qis greeting him. From his otherworldly demeanor and the countless Immortal Sparks around him, it was as if an Immortal King had descended upon the world!
An unimaginably terrifying pressure instantly filled the whole area!
Some of the more ordinary sky-prides could not even withstand the horrifying pressure and were slammed into the ground. They could only gaze upon that peerless white figure with horrified looks on their faces.
"I-It's him!"
"Chu Kuangren!"
The person who arrived was none other than Chu Kuangren.
This time, he was not wearing the Ashura Mask, which concealed his identity.
After all, if anyone were to do some investigation on him, they would surely learn of his relationship with Shang Honghua. Besides, now that he had found her, there was no need to do things in a low-profile manner anymore.
He wanted everyone to know the consequences and horror that awaited them for harming his subordinates!
"Phew. I arrived just in time."
Chu Kuangren let out a sigh of relief as he looked at Shang Honghua inside the dragon well.
After learning of Shang Honghua's location from the Breeze Seeking Inn, he immediately rushed over.
Since then, he had been searching in the great desert for two days.
When the dragon well appeared, he traced the paths taken by the sky-prides who went to check it out. Fortunately, he arrived just in time at the most critical moment.
"Chu Kuangren!"
Chu Kuangren's sudden arrival made the expressions of Iceworm Ru Xue, the Thirteen Yellowstorm Riders, and the Third Dragon Crown Prince turn serious.
It was especially true for the Third Dragon Crown Prince.
As a top-tier Prodigy, he was undoubtedly a fearless person. Even if the Immortal Hall's Imperial Commander were to show up, he would be confident to fight against them.
However, if it was Chu Kuangren…
"An invincible enemy! I must retreat!"
Without a moment's hesitation, the Third Dragon Crown Prince let out a palm attack!
His devastating dragon qi poured out like a raging torrent before he turned around and fled!
