Chapter 449 - Oh, You’re Looking For Me? Chu Kuangren Approaches Amidst The Snow

Boom, boom, boom…

Violent surges of energy swept everywhere as the Holy Radiant Physique and Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique’s Daoist Rhymes collided together.

The surrounding snow was shattered and filled the sky with white mists.

The cultivators watching the battle in secret were all surprised.

“I didn’t expect Lan Yu to be able to hold her own with Xiao Lintian. She’s too powerful and well-deserved for the strongest Young Emperor of the past.”

“However, the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique is ranked second for a Supreme Daoist Physique. I’m afraid the Holy Radiant Physique won’t be a match for it.”

“A person’s physique is only part of the equation here. Factors like how well the cultivator can utilize the power of their physiques and the types of techniques they use should be considered as well.”

The spectators gradually increased.

Among them were some of the cultivators who had rushed to the Divine Predictor City upon learning that Chu Kuangren was there. Most of them were the younger generation of sky-prides.

For instance, the empyrean walkers who were overshadowed by Chu Kuangren’s glory three years ago.

“Guo San, you’re here as well, I see.”

“Chu Kuangren is in the city! How can I possibly miss this opportunity? But why is it Lan Yu who’s battling Xiao Lintian instead? Where’s Chu Kuangren?”

“No idea. Let’s continue watching the battle for now. Since Lan Yu is already here, I bet Chu Kuangren will not be far away.”

The crowd of empyrean walkers chatted.

Meanwhile, Lan Yu and Xiao Lintian’s battle became more heated.

Both of them channeled their respective Light-based and Imperial-based Daoist Rhymes to their limit. It was as if they both had become the center of the world.

Horrifying surges of Light-based Daoist Rhyme swirled around Lan Yu while it radiated with a dazzling white light. She looked like a valkyrie amidst the battle.

The female cultivators in the surroundings paled into insignificance.

As Lan Yu held her Scepter of Light, a white fireball similar to a small sun gradually formed above it.

Opposite from her, a Divine Commander Avatar appeared behind Xiao Lintian, which emanated boundless surges of domineering aura that could crush the whole world.

“Lan Yu, I gotta hand it to you for being able to hold your own in this fight for so long. Your strength is above average and undoubtedly deserves to be ranked top twenty in the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard!”

“Unfortunately, your opponent is me!”

Xiao Lintian uttered proudly.

He lifted his arm and started to gather spiritual qi from the heavens and earth. The Divine Commander Avatar behind him also did the same and gradually raised its arm before it closed its hand into a fist.

“I’ll defeat you first, then Chu Kuangren next!”

Xiao Lintian let out a roar and immediately punched forth.

Its majestic fist punched through the wind and shattered the buildings in its process. Aimed toward Lan Yu, this fist attack seemed to be packed with enough energy to destroy everything!

Lan Yu waved her Scepter of Light towards the incoming attack and launched a white fireball that subsequently landed on the Divine Commander Avatar’s fist.

The two energies erupted in an instant. The violent impact sent a storm that swept out everywhere, causing the onlooking crowd to move back.

“Has it ended?”

“With such a powerful display of power, I think it’s about time the battle ended.”

Everyone stared into the center of the energy.

All they saw was one person standing proudly on top of a tall building, with an overbearing surge of aura swirling around him.

It was Xiao Lintian!

“As expected, Lan Yu is not a match for Xiao Lintian.”

“After all, there is a power gap between the Holy Radiant Physique and Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, and Xiao Lintian’s cultivation level is quite high too.”

“Aside from those Nine Heavens sky-prides who are all monsters, not many sky-prides in this world are a match for Xiao Lintian anymore.”

The sky-prides at the scene looked at each other, not surprised at the outcome of that fight at all.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lintian was seen standing arrogantly with his arms folded. “Now that Lan Yu has been dealt with, it’s your turn now, Chu Kuangren.”

He looked into the distance and was just about to stand up and leave.

However, a chuckle suddenly echoed through the clouds of dust.

A white spear that radiated with a blazing white light was shot across the void and towards Xiao Lintian at lightning speed.

Xiao Lintian’s expression shifted at the sudden attack. He then lifted his arm and unleashed a punch towards the white spear.

With a boom, the white spear immediately exploded and sent terrifying shockwaves everywhere, blasting Xiao Lintian off his feet.

Several bloodied cuts appeared on his fist.

He angrily looked towards the clearing cloud of dust, only to see Lan Yu surrounded by a pale white light and covered with a black-colored mantle.

“You haven’t even beaten me yet, and you’re already seeking to fight my Master? Is there something wrong with your brain?” Lan Yu sneered.

Everyone was extremely shocked to see Black Mantle on her.

“That’s… a Boundary Emperor Weapon?!”

“I can’t believe Lan Yu has a Boundary Emperor Weapon with her.”

“That mantle blocked Xiao Lintian’s attack earlier. I didn’t expect her to have something like this.”

Similar to a Sage Ruler, a Boundary Emperor Weapon was an important aspect for the foundations of any top-notch orthodoxy.

Only a handful among the top-notch sky-prides on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard possessed a Boundary Emperor Weapon. After all, such an Opportunity of Fortune was rare to come by.

As for that Boundary Emperor Weapon Lan Yu was using, it was the one that Yin Li had previously used to infiltrate the Black Heaven Sect.

It was also because of that Black Mantle that Chu Kuangren could feel rest assured with Lan Yu facing Xiao Lintian alone. There was no way her opponent could injure her at all.

“Hmph, using a Boundary Weapon, huh? Despicable!”

Xiao Lintian snorted coldly.

Lan Yu could not help but laugh. “Am I the one who’s taking advantage of my Master’s Heavenly Punishment to challenge him? And you dare say that I’m the despicable one?”

“You…”

Xiao Lintian was so enraged that he could not find the words to say.

However, he quickly stopped caring about it.

“I may not be able to hurt you with that Boundary Emperor Weapon around, but you’re also not a match for me. You can’t stop me from looking for Chu Kuangren.”

He did not want to be in a stalemate with Lan Yu any longer.

He could not injure her with the Boundary Emperor Weapon she possessed anyway. She was not even his main target in the first place.

The person he wanted to defeat was Chu Kuangren!

“Oh, you’re looking for me?”

An apathetic voice suddenly echoed through the realm.

The great ones who were secretly observing the battle and the onlooking sky-prides could not help but tremble at the sound of that voice. Then, everyone looked over.

Amidst the falling snow, a handsome young man dressed in white, with a gorgeous sword strapped to his waist, walked through the snow while holding an umbrella over his head.

If Xiao Lintian’s aura was overbearing and he was the center of the world, he would sink in the face of this spiritual-powerless person that had appeared before him.

Compared to this person, Xiao Lintian’s presence was immediately reduced to nothing!

“It’s him. It’s really him.”

Among the crowd of empyrean walkers, Feng Yaorao could not contain her excitement.

Although three years had passed, that person’s otherworldly facial features were still the same as before. He had never failed to stun her.

“It’s Chu Kuangren! He’s here!”

“He has finally shown himself.”

The great ones and sky-prides looked solemn.

“Chu Kuangren! You’ve finally shown yourself.”

Xiao Lintian’s eyes lit up with delight when he sensed that the person standing before him had no signs of spiritual power at all.

He was very excited and could already imagine Chu Kuangren groveling under his feet shamelessly.

As for whether he could do it or not, he no longer had any doubts about it.

He knew that Chu Kuangren could use runic energy, but with that Heavenly Punishment Seal on him, how powerful could his opponent’s runes be?

Moreover, he was no longer the same person he once was three years ago.

Chu Kuangren walked to Lan Yu’s side while holding up the umbrella. She put the Black Mantle away before she took over the umbrella from him and sheltered him from the snow instead.

Xiao Lintian could not help but laugh at that scene. “Oh, Chu Kuangren, how far have you fallen? Are you terrified by some little snow now?”

“It looks like you are now as useless as an ordinary mortal!”
