Chapter 332 - The Terrifying Headless Lady, The Scaled King’s Anger

“She’s here!”

Chu Kuangren was extremely shocked when he saw the Headless Lady amongst the Scaled Tribe members. This meant that the Headless Lady was still drawn by the presence of her head.

Although Chu Kuangren had sealed her head with spells, the Headless Lady could still sense its presence.

“Damn it, what kind of creature is that?!”

“W-why can’t we kill it? How can she still move without her head?!”

“She’s sucking the life essences out of our members. Quickly, kill that monster!”

No matter how the Scaled Tribe member attacked the Headless Lady, they were reduced to dried corpses the moment they got near her. There was no way the members could harm their enemy.

Even the Sages could not do her any harm.

“Palm of Ocean Destruction!”

One of the Scaled Sages roared as he appeared abruptly before the Headless Lady and channeled his spiritual energies into a single palm technique.

His destructive palm qi was unleashed, resembling the destructive power that could obliterate an entire ocean!

Yet when that energy neared the Headless Lady, she did not retaliate with any powerful technique. She merely lifted her hands gently and in seconds, the Scaled Sage’s Daoist Rhyme was shattered into smithereens.

Then, the Headless Lady leaped and vanished on the spot. When she eventually reappeared, she was already holding the head of the Sage who attacked her.

It was a jaw-dropping moment.

No one saw how the Headless Lady killed the Sage.

When they came to their realization, the Headless Lady had already removed the Sage’s head as a large amount of blood spurted out of his dismembered torso.

With a thump, the torso collapsed onto the ground, never to stand again.

The Headless Lady proceeded to place his head on her neck, almost as if she was attempting to connect his head to her body.

Nevertheless, it was not the head she was looking for. No matter how hard she pressed, the head could not connect to her torso. She then slammed the Sage’s head on the ground in a raging fury, which immediately reduced the head into a mash.

“Pfft, she’s an ill-tempered one.”

Chu Kuangren was sneering at her behavior from a safe distance. It seemed like due to his sealing spell, the Headless Lady could not sense that her head was with him at the moment. She might have followed her instincts to this island.

It would be best for Chu Kuangren to get out of there as soon as he could.

After all, the Headless Lady was too strong an opponent for him.

“It’s the Headless Lady that’s described in the Seven Great Mysterious Manifestations! I’ve always thought it was no more than a baseless folktale, but now I know it’s true.”

A Sage gulped and said.

It was utterly terrifying.

The Headless Lady was killing Sages as seamless as a butcher dismembering his animals. It was an effortless endeavor for her!

“But why did the Headless Lady suddenly appear here out of nowhere?”

“Who knows? Let’s just leave first before we say anything else.”

“That’s right. I don’t wish to die here.”

The Sages immediately went for their escapes.

While the Headless Lady was massacring the Scaled Tribe members, a peculiar aura emanated around and sucked the members into dried corpses.

The Sages would not survive even a single attack from the Headless Lady.

Swish…

Amid the chaos that was unraveling within the Scaled Tribe, Chu Kuangren took the opportunity to approach the Second Forefather and Third Forefather before retrieving a talisman from his inventory.

“Second Forefather, Third Forefather, hold tightly onto me.”

Without question, the elders immediately gripped tightly onto Chu Kuangren’s shoulder.

Then, as Chu Kuangren ripped the talisman apart, an invisible spatial force enveloped the trio.

Within the blink of an eye, the trio vanished on the spot.

The Headless Lady was still going about her rampage on the island. The Scaled Sages either became victims to the Headless Lady or were forced to escape. They were utterly unprepared for such a terrifying threat. The million-army strong Scaled Tribe was defeated too as they retreated into the ocean.

Soon enough.

Only the Headless Lady left on the island.

As the Headless Lady ransacked the mountain of corpses, she would occasionally place a dismembered head onto her torso. Alas, none of them was a match for her body. In a raging fit, she unleashed a frightening fury that shook the entire island, causing fissures to form throughout the structure.

It was not long after that the entire island eventually sank into the ocean.

The Headless Lady stood in midair while radiating the frightening aura of an Emperor. The entire ocean trembled in the presence of her Emperor Daoist Rhymes and countless oceanic lifeforms shook in terror.

The average cultivator would not be able to sense her presence. However, those of a greater cultivation level could distinctly sense the terror of the Headless Lady.

This was especially true for the Sages who were close to collapsing onto the ground as they shivered involuntarily.

Deep within the sea, a pair of yellow orbs appeared amidst the dark ravine. Upon a closer inspection, it was a pair of enormous eyes that belonged to an entity!

“How could such a creature exist in the Firmament Star?”

“The lady was probably not an ordinary Emperor in her previous life. Perhaps she’s one of the strongest forces during her time…”

Chatters whispered within the ocean before it resumed to its usual silence.

After the Headless Lady was done throwing her fit above the unnamed island, she clawed at the space before her and ripped open a black spatial portal in the void.

She then walked into the crack and vanished in the air.

“What creature is that? This is so terrifying.”

“This is one of the Firmament Star’s Seven Great Mysterious Manifestations. I’ve always thought it to be untrue, but who would’ve thought that the Headless Lady actually exists…”

The Sages outside the islands were concerned.

Only at that moment did they realize the power and privilege they had could be so easily ripped apart by a higher being.

This world was filled with many unknowns and mysteries.

Not even Sages could claim to know it all.

Meanwhile.

Chu Kuangren had used the Great Shift Talisman to transport Second Forefather, Third Forefather, and himself to a mountain range that was thousands of miles away from the unnamed islands.

“I think we’re safe now.”

Chu Kuangren looked at the surroundings.

“Little one, looks like you have many tricks up your sleeves.”

The Black Heaven Second Forefather and Third Forefather said in awe.

To transverse thousands of miles in seconds was not a feat that even the interdimensional Sages could achieve.

“Heh, I was lucky to have found this talisman. Unfortunately, it can only be used once.” Chu Kuangren shook his head as he watched the Great Shift Talisman that had already been reduced to ash. However, he did not feel too heartbroken.

Ever since Chu Kuangren had obtained the Lucky Halo, he had gone on to win many more decent items. Some of them were especially useful in helping him to escape tricky situations.

The Great Shift Talisman was only one of many such items.

“Alright, let’s head back to the Black Heaven Sect.”

Chu Kuangren said.

He summoned the mirage and then began their journey back to the Black Heaven Sect.

During Chu Kuangren’s journey back, Firmament Star was in chaos. For one, all the Sages were shocked by the news of the Headless Lady appearing on the unnamed islands.

Secondly, news of Chu Kuangren obtaining an Emperor Weapon had spread to the public too, and many were eyeing his precious item.

Unfortunately, considering Chu Kuangren’s abilities, no one dared to act hastily. Though the Scaled Tribe members were furious under the ocean.

After losing several Scaled Sages and millions of members to the Headless Lady, the Scaled King was trembling in anger. What more, their symbolic weapon, the Trident Halberd was snatched away by an outsider!

“No way, we must get the Trident Halberd back. We must make the Black Heaven Sect pay for what they’ve done.”

His eyes glimmered coldly.
