1762 The Sword-Locking Project, Locking Onto The Heavenly Sword? A Game
Ever since Chu Kuangren killed Ye Hao and other Ancient Prodigies with one sword strike, no one came looking for him for trouble anymore.
The sword attack was too scary!
It dispelled all Prodigies' ideas to go against him.
Chu Kuangren spent a few quiet and calm days to continue studying the Timespace Treasure.
At the same time, he managed to refine those Daoist Law's Pearls. With the help of those pearls, his Arch Gilded Intent went one step further, and he was not far from the Fourth-Step.
The Arch Gilded Intent was the key to breaking through to the Embodier realm!
That was also part of the reason he competed for those Daoist Law's Pearls, other than the fact that he did not want to sit back and watch other Prodigies grow more powerful.
It was not his style not to grab the treasures.
Another few months later, starlight shone down from the Daoist Law's starry sky and manifested into Daoist Law's Pearls.
This time, everyone learned from the last lesson. Instead of fighting for the Daoist Law's Pearls, they locked down the entire Heavenly Sword Peak, where Chu Kuangren was at.
"Set up the formation. Quick!"
"Damn it. We must not let the Heavenly Sword succeed this time."
Following that, they laid out countless runes around the Heavenly Sword Peak.
However, those runes only trapped but did not kill.
Upon seeing the scene, Di Qianqiu, Wu Tianming, and others immediately took action and quickly collected the Daoist Law's Pearls in the starry sky.
They had discussed earlier that some of them would lock down the Heavenly Sword Peak while the rest would grab the Daoist Law's Pearls. After that, they would distribute the pearls.
In the starry sky, Arch Gilded Immortals and God Kings of the Central Heaven Temple were stunned.
"It's unbelievable. These sky-prides and Prodigies are arrogant people. I didn't expect they would cooperate to fight against a person."
"Make a guess. Will they succeed?"
"It's hard to tell…"
At the Heavenly Sword Peak, Chu Kuangren grinned while glancing at the runes all around him.
"Is this what you guys came up with to deal with me?"
"Unfortunately, a few runes can't stop what the Heavens want," said Chu Kuangren.
Then, he formed a sword hand sign.
Boom!
As a majestic sword qi gushed out, a chilly sword shadow rose into the sky, and the impact from the energy shattered the countless runes!
All sky-prides and Prodigies failed to resist the attack!
"He is too powerful. It's difficult for us to put him in lockdown with our strength!"
"Damn it. Is there really no way for us to trap him?"
"Damn it!"
Everyone was dissatisfied with the outcome.
After the runes were shattered, a terrifying Arch Gilded Intent erupted on the Heavenly Sword Peak. Then, it turned into a black hole with a huge suction force that sucked quite some Daoist Law's Pearls.
The rest of the people who wanted to snatch the pearls were instantly killed by the sword qi!
In the end, the operation to trap the Heavenly Sword and compete for the Daoist Law's Pearls failed.
"The Heavens look forward to what you'll do next."
A chuckle echoed all around as if it was mocking everyone present.
"Sh*t. I refuse to believe we can't hurt him at all!"
"Indeed. Let's think of other ways to deal with him."
Everyone was furious with Chu Kuangren, and they were strongly against him now.
They refused to believe they could not snatch the Daoist Law's Pearls from Chu Kuangren!
All sky-prides and Prodigies gathered to discuss.
They called their operation of competing for the Daoist Law's Pearls with Chu Kuangren as the Sword-Locking Project, which meant locking the Heavenly Sword in place and competing for the Daoist Law's Pearls!
Shortly after, starlight fell from the starry sky to form the Daoist Law's Pearls again.
Boom!
This time, nobody went forward to snatch the Daoist Law's Pearls, but they immediately dashed toward the Heavenly Sword Peak and cast all kinds of Immortal Techniques at the peak!
"Break!"
With a low grunt, thousands of Immortal Techniques dissipated as the sword qi swept out.
"There's more!"
A Prodigy grunted and formed a mysterious technique with his hand. "Six Deities Holy Dragon Formation!"
Six long golden dragons formed in the void!
Besides him, several other people also cast the same cultivation technique. They were all from the Mystic Divination Tribe!
Soon, the sound of the dragon roar resounded in the sky while a terrifying sword aura locked onto the Heavenly Sword Peak!
Apart from the Six Deities Holy Dragon Formation, other Prodigies had also set up formations!
"Emperor Decree!"
Di Qianqiu let out a low grunt, and a golden Emperor qi rose into the sky, turning into a gigantic decree!
He possessed the Fully Realized Emperor Physique, and his mighty Emperor's aura caused the entire mountain to tremble like it was about to fall from the sky!
However, Chu Kuangren raised his hand, and his sword intent flowed out to stabilize the Heavenly Sword Peak.
"Nine Dragon Emperor Seal!"
Di Qianqiu took out a golden Emperor Seal, an Embodier Weapon from his previous life. With the Embodier Weapon combined with the Emperor Physique's divine ability, his power doubled!
Golden Emperor qi fell from the sky like a waterfall and locked down the Heavenly Sword Peak.
Seeing that, Chu Kuangren formed a sword hand sign. Within the sword qi, there was a surge of majestic and domineering qi, which interacted with the Emperor qi.
"Heavenly Sword, we won't allow you to continue doing whatever you wish," Di Qianqiu said coldly.
"Oh?"
Chu Kuangren chuckled, and the Void Sword beside him lit up with countless pitch-black sword rays.
With a clang, he unsheathed the Void Sword, and the sword aura intensified!
The power of the sword qi skyrocketed, and the Thousand Terrain's sword qi swept across all directions. In an instant, various Immortal Techniques and restrictions disappeared!
Only the Emperor Seal, with its a domineering aura, was left hanging in the sky.
Chu Kuangren held the Void Sword high up in the sky. When his sword qi merged with the domineering qi, the impact blasted the Emperor Seal away.
"Retreat!" Di Qianqiu yelled.
Everyone immediately retreated to avoid being caught in Chu Kuangren's sword qi.
"Heavenly Sword, our mission is accomplished. Although we only managed to stall you for a moment, I believe our people have collected all the Daoist Law's Pearls." Din Qianqiu smiled.
This time, the people of the Central Heaven Temple dashed out to attack Chu Kuangren, including an Outlier like him.
That left only a few people to collect the Daoist Law's Pearls.
"This is bad…"
At that moment, a sky-pride rushed over.
Di Qianqiu felt his eyelids twitching, and a bad feeling overcame him. It was because the sky-pride before him was one of the people they sent to collect the Daoist Law's Pearls, and he was panicking now.
"Heh."
A chuckle sounded.
Chu Kuangren looked at Din Qianqiu and others. "Did you guys think you could sit back and relax because you locked down the Heavens?"
"What's the matter?"
"I-It's Long Shuijing," said the sky-pride.
At that moment, seven colorful light streams shot across the sky and entered the Heavenly Sword Peak, where they stood respectfully behind Chu Kuangren. "Master, we've collected all the Daoist Law's Pearls."
"Alright."
Chu Kuangren nodded.
Only then did everyone understand that they stopped Chu Kuangren but not Long Shuijing.
In other words, they had consumed all their strength and manpower just to stop Chu Kuangren, which left them with insufficient combat strength to stop Long Shuijing.
The Sword-Locking Project failed for the second time!
"Damn it!"
"Long Shuijing is a powerful Prodigy. Why does she want to follow the Heavenly Sword?!"
"Could he do whatever he wants just because he's handsome?"
"Damn it. We've failed again."
"What should we do? Will we lose our share in the Daoist Law's Pearls with the Heavenly Sword here?"
The cultivation resources were right in front of them, but they could only look at them. There were no words to describe how aggrieved they felt.
"Everyone, you're welcome to challenge the Heavens next time. It will be an interesting game."
Chu Kuangren's voice was a like a knife stabbing everyone's heart as they risked their lives to lock the Heavenly Sword, but it was just a game in his opinion!
