Chapter 421 - Battling Six Sage Rulers, Death Qi Pool, Heavenly Golden Tablets, Destroy Formation

Six Sage Rulers battled against Chu Kuangren!

The void rang as if it was about to be blown up. Destructive energies flooded the entire battlefield, turning everything within a hundred kilometers into a forbidden zone. Anyone who dared enter would surely be greeted with death!

Chu Kuangren was wielding two Emperor Weapons, his powers unparalleled and unstoppable. Each of his attacks packed was enough force to send the earth trembling. Even the Six Sage Rulers did not dare tread lightly around the battle.

Despite having teamed up, all the Sage Rulers could do for now was to be on the defensive side.

The power of Emperor Weapons was too formidable.

“Hmm?!”

Chu Kuangren stood in the air and suddenly let out an eek, to which he struck his halberd against the air, destroying an invisible surge of offensive energy.

“A formless attack. This must be the Ethereal Rapture’s Ethereal Enigma Realm. What an indefensible technique,” Chu Kuangren said.

Master Daoist Yun Tao stood firmly in the distance. His ethereal figure seemed ethereal and transcending. It was as if he would vanish on the spot at any time.

It was the Ethereal Rapture’s Emperor Technique, the Ethereal Enigma Realm!

“For an indefensible technique, you surely seem to counter it well.”

Master Daoist Yun Tao said softly. Nonetheless, he was a little surprised.

With his expertise of the Ethereal Enigma Realm, even a Sage Ruler would have trouble detecting his attack. Yet, not only did Chu Kuangren have the impeccable sense to detect its presence, but he was also able to defend himself with ease.

Was his Ethereal Enigma Realm losing its effectiveness?!

Master Daoist Yun Tao then hid from sight again. When the remaining Sage Rulers attacked Chu Kuangren once again, he launched his strikes too.

However, Chu Kuangren still managed to defend against all the attacks without exceptions.

It seemed like Chu Kuangren could see through his every move!

What was going on?!

Master Daoist Yun Tao was puzzled. No one had been capable of breaking his Ethereal Enigma Realm for countless years, yet his technique seemed like an absolute joke to Chu Kuangren.

How did Chu Kuangren do it?

Little did Master Daoist Yun Tao know that there was a thing called the Conjurer’s Talent, which could drastically improve the sensitivity of one’s spiritual thoughts. It was only through this method could Chu Kuangren detect every single attack with ease.

“Floating Death Qi Sludge!”

Suddenly, the Sacred Death Palace Lord screamed in the air.

Copious amounts of death qi released from his body, clouding the entire place with his Daoist Rhymes, that formed into a pool in the air.

Standing in the pool, Chu Kuangren felt an endless amount of death qi gush onto him as if to corrode his entire body.

“Hmph. Hilarious!”

With a soft grunt, Chu Kuangren channeled the ferocious qi from his Innate Ferocious Armor to shield him from the onslaught of the death qi.

Then, a violent burst of ferocious qi erupted into his surroundings.

The cloud of death qi instantly dissipated, and the pool — forged out of Death-based Daoist Rhymes — broke under the pressure before it exploded into pieces!

“Hiss, no doubt that’s the power of Emperor Weapons.”

The Sacred Death Palace Lord was in awe, his eyes burning with passion.

“Even though Chu Kuangren has remarkable abilities, shouldn’t he be exhausted after such a long battle? How is he still wielding the Emperor Weapons?” the Acheron Manor Lord commented with a frown.

The other Sage Rulers agreed that something was off too.

Chu Kuangren had been battling them with his Emperor Weapons for quite some time now. Even the Sage Rulers did not think they could wield an Emperor Weapon for such a long duration, what more for someone who was not even a Sage.

Furthermore, he was wielding two Emperor Weapons!

It was unbelievable.

“Heh, do you want to find out how long I can last?”

Chu Kuangren gave a cold laugh. With the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd in one hand, he unleashed a torrential force that was imbued with ferocious energy and blasted the Sage Rulers away.

Indeed, Chu Kuangren could not have wielded the Emperor Weapons for such a long time.

However, things were different this time.

Consuming the Yin Yang Soul Pill had drastically strengthened Chu Kuangren’s soul energy, and with his foundations, his ability to wield the Emperor Weapons improved by leaps and bounds.

“We need to find a way to limit his movements.”

Sage Ruler Zhang Guang said.

Then, he retrieved four stone tablets that were light-yellow in color and hurled them into the air. In the blink of an eye, a formidable aura manifested on the battlefield.

The stone tablets each positioned themselves at a corner and unleashed an oppressive aura, forming a mystical formation that ensnared Chu Kuangren within.

“Heavenly Golden Unifying Qi Formation!”

Sage Ruler Zhang Guang commanded.

After that, four Great Sages leaped from behind.

Each of them stood before a stone tablet and channeled their entire spiritual energies into it. In an instant, the formation’s strength multiplied!

With such high oppression, even a Sage Ruler would have difficulties escaping the perimeter.

“Finger of Despair!”

“Eye of Acheron!”

“Avarice Palm!”

While Chu Kuangren was trapped, the Sage Rulers took the opportunity to attack.

Their finger strength, demonic ray, and palm strength each struck Chu Kuangren in succession, causing his Innate Ferocious Armor to tremble under pressure.

Although the Innate Ferocious Armor was rigid enough to withstand the Sage Rulers attacks, the resulting force still managed to hit Chu Kuangren’s body and rupture the bones and veins underneath.

“Hiss… this does hurt a little.”

Chu Kuangren sucked in a breath of cold air.

However, his Immortal Body’s remarkable recovery ability ensured that his broken bones and veins were quickly mended back to their original state.

Ever since Chu Kuangren began his cultivation journey, the Immortal Body had been one of his strongest wildcards.

This time was no different.

“Divine Ferocious Avatar!”

Chu Kuangren summoned the Divine Ferocious Avatar. With the help of the battle intent and ferocious qi on his Innate Ferocious Armor, the avatar smashed the four stone tablets in the perimeter.

Boom, boom, boom!

An incessant stream of explosions echoed throughout the realm.

The light that was beaming from the stone tablets began to fade.

The Great Sages who supported the stone tablets immediately vomited blood as their faces turned pale. Even so, none of them was willing to let go of their grip.

“Very well, let’s see how long all of you can keep this up!”

Chu Kuangren let out a mighty battle roar as a crimson flame manifested over his body, unleashing an explosion of a much more terrifying aura.

“It’s the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art!”

“Damn it. With this technique, his spiritual power will surely be off the roof. By then, he’ll be able to draw an even stronger power from the Emperor Weapons!”

The Sage Rulers grew concerned.

They immediately retaliated with their Emperor Techniques.

One strike, two strikes, three strikes…

Most people, including Sage Rulers, would have long perished under such attacks. Yet, not only did Chu Kuangren remain unscathed, but his energy was still growing strong.

“Damn it! What’s going on?!”

“Even with his Emperor Weapons, this is simply ridiculous!”

The Sage Rulers were in utter disbelief.

“Now watch me destroy your formation!”

Chu Kuangren drove his Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art to its limit. As his Divine Ferocious Avatar unleashed a deafening battle roar, ferocious qi crashed violently into the stone tablets, and cracks began to form on its surfaces.

“The Heavenly Golden Tablets can no longer hold him!”

Sage Ruler Zhang Guang gasped in shock.

The Heavenly Golden Tablet was one of the strongest sources of power in the Heavenly Golden Palace. Each tablet itself was considered a remarkable Sage Ruler Weapon. Combining four of them would form the Heavenly Golden Unifying Qi Formation, which yielded an insurmountable amount of power!

Such power could even hold a Sage Ruler captive, yet these tablets could not keep Chu Kuangren in place. What did that imply?

It implied that Chu Kuangren’s combat strength had surpassed that of a Sage Ruler!

With a bang, the Heavenly Golden Tablets shattered into pieces!

The terrifying shockwave blasted the Great Sages away. Three of them perished in the explosion while one of them managed to hold onto his life, barely, thanks to his defensive Sage Weapon.

“Gluttonous Devouring Technique!”

Activating the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, Chu Kuangren absorbed the Sage Ruler’s essence into his body as nourishment for his spiritual energies.

The crimson flame was still burning brightly on his body. With his pitch-black armor strapped to his body and a halberd gripped in one hand, Chu Kuangren was now reminiscent of the God of War.

“If you still have any tricks up your sleeves, now’s the time to show it!”
