Chapter 469 - It’s Sunrise, No One Can Escape, Flipping Plaques
“Although what you say is true, it doesn’t negate the fact that you’ve attempted to trespass the Black Heaven Sect. Speak, what are you here for?”
By then, his Eye of Revelation had already activated.
Information about Boundary Emperor Wuyue began appearing before his eyes.
“Wuyue, a strange beast that’s known as a Blood-Eyed Crow, Boundary Emperor cultivation level. She possesses the divine power of Blood-Eyed Frenzy and is trained in the Boundary Emperor Technique, Wrath of Carrion Crows…”
“Currently manifesting as a spiritual thought form…”
Chu Kuangren was amused by what he read in the information.
He could not help but smirk now.
As he expected, Hai Ye and Chang Kuang were not the Boundary Emperor to exist in this world. After all, it had been one hundred and fifty-thousand years since someone last ascended to an Emperor. So logically speaking, there should be more than just a few Boundary Emperors around.
That was not considering the Boundary Emperors that had hailed from past and archaic ancient times.
“Sect Leader Chu, it’s remarkable how you’ve ascended to a Supreme Sage at such a young age. This is an unprecedented feat. What’s more, you’ve done such an impressive job in managing such a powerful orthodoxy. What an admirable character…”
Boundary Emperor Wuyue was keen on getting on Chu Kuangren’s good side. If it was possible, she preferred to settle Sage Ruler Changqin’s affairs peacefully.
Unexpectedly, Chu Kuangren lifted his hand, and a brush and paper appeared before them. Boundary Emperor Wuyue was puzzled, to say the least.
“Here’s a brush and a piece of paper. If you’ve come just to flatter me, you may leave your compliments on this paper and leave. I’ll be sure to read them when I have the time,” said Chu Kuangren nonchalantly.
Boundary Emperor Wuyue’s lips twitched at his words.
It looks like all her verbal effort had gone to waste.
“Sect Leader Chu, you’re funny. I’m Wuyue, and I’ve come to pay a visit on behalf of the Heavenly Golden Palace.”
“We’re done. You can leave now.”
Chu Kuangren interrupted Boundary Emperor Wuyue before she could even make her proposal.
“You…”
Boundary Emperor Wuyue’s face turned grim, and she did not seem pleased now. “Sect Leader Chu, you’ve done nothing but chase me away ever since we met. Don’t you think this is a tad too rude?”
“This is my territory. It’s on you for coming uninvited. The Heavenly Golden Palace and the Black Heaven Sect have never gotten along, yet here you are trying to speak for them. You’re rude and unreasonable. I think I’m playing it nice enough if all I ask is for you to leave,” Chu Kuangren said.
Boundary Emperor Wuyue was now speechless.
Moments later, she took a deep breath and said, “Well, Sect Leader, it looks like your verbal prowess is as strong as your cultivation level.”
She then leaped forward, abruptly unleashing a boundlessly terrifying aura towards Chu Kuangren.
“Then, let me put it this way. I’m in charge of protecting the Heavenly Golden Palace and the other orthodoxies. Do you understand now?!”
Boundary Emperor Wuyue snapped. There was no longer room for pleasantries.
“You could’ve skipped all the nonsense and started with that.”
Chu Kuangren said calmly as his body emanated a surge of strong Sword-based Daoist Rhymes that was equally powerful as Boundary Emperor Wuyue’s aura!
“Then, let me be clear as well. I’ll make sure that these orthodoxies will be destroyed, and no one can save them!”
Their auras locked onto each other but did not seep out at all. Other than the twisted fabrics of space around them, the rest of the Black Heaven Sect’s territories remained unaffected.
The Black Heaven Sects’ disciples were still in deep sleep, not knowing that two incredibly powerful entities were currently confronting each other nearby.
Under the clear starlit night, Chu Kuangren and Boundary Emperor Wuyue refused to yield to their opponent’s power as their energies surrounded the space.
One was a newly ascended Supreme Sage, a remarkable sky-pride of his generation.
The other was the spiritual thought form of a Boundary Emperor who had lived for countless years.
Both were among the strongest cultivators that existed in this world.
“I’m afraid you don’t have what it takes to protect those orthodoxies.”
Chu Kuangren’s Self Descendant Sword shook lightly before it abruptly unleashed an enormous surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhymes. In an instant, Chu Kuangren overpowered Boundary Emperor Wuyue’s aura.
After all, it was just her spiritual thought form.
Although she could unleash the combat strength of a Sage Ruler, it was no longer sufficient to defeat Chu Kuangren. Boundary Emperor Wuyue would consider herself lucky if her clone could survive a single sword technique.
At that moment, the night was interrupted by a single ray of the morning sun.
As the clouds unfurled apart, the sun rose.
It was getting bright now.
Chu Kuangren muttered calmly, “It looks like it’s time.”
“Chu Kuangren, you’re more savage than I thought, but I’ve made it clear that I’ll be protecting these orthodoxies. If you still insist on attacking them, this will have to end in a fight between us!”
Boundary Emperor Wuyue said firmly.
She knew her negotiation strategies had failed and that her spiritual thought form was not a threat to Chu Kuangren. Hence, Boundary Emperor Wu Yue intended to leave.
“Oh, you think you can leave after tossing those harsh words around? In your dreams.”
“No one can stop me from leaving.”
Boundary Emperor Wuyue uttered before her spiritual thought form turned into hundreds of carrion crows that swooped in every direction.
Each crow was part of her spiritual thought form. As long as one of them survived, her spiritual thought form would not be destroyed.
“If I wish to make someone stay, no one can escape either.”
Chu Kuangren said as he lifted his palms, casting his formless mind power into all directions and sealed the entire region in an instant.
With that, all of the crows were frozen in the air by his mind power.
The crows were evidently frightened.
“What did you do?!”
“Have your true form come to seek the real answer.”
Chu Kuangren said and proceeded to mobilize his mind power.
Almost immediately, the hundreds of carrion crows vanished into a cloud of black smoke.
Ever since Chu Kuangren ascended into a Sage and had his soul transformed by the purple haze, his soul power had drastically enhanced. His spiritual thought, which had long surpassed that of a Sage Ruler, had reached an incomprehensible level of power.
Just with his spiritual thought alone, Chu Kuangren could easily defeat most of the Sage Rulers with ease. If Chu Kuangren combined his runic techniques in the process, even a Seventh-Step Sage Ruler would not likely survive past a few rounds of exchange.
Hence, killing a couple of crows was an absolutely simple feat for Chu Kuangren.
…
In the Nether Abyss Valley.
A loud grunt could be heard from the inside of a wooden abode.
“D*mn it, Chu Kuangren! Very well, I shall fight you in my true form then. Let’s see how you can survive the full power of a Boundary Emperor!”
Firmament Star, beyond the Black Heaven Sect.
A succession of spiritual thoughts was activated, each casting their sight over the Black Heaven Sect.
This day was the day when Chu Kuangren would destroy the five orthodoxies.
The cultivators’ spiritual thoughts arrived at the Black Heaven Sect and saw Chu Kuangren standing above a mountain peak. They had come just in time to see him destroy Boundary Emperor Wuyue’s spiritual thought form.
As the morning sun cast its warm sunlight over him, it created a golden cape that hovered behind Chu Kuangren’s body, which further accentuated his glory.
Then, a white ray of light arrived.
It was Lan Yu.
In her hands were five wooden plaques.
The cultivators were confused.
Did Chu Kuangren not swear he would destroy the orthodoxies?
What was he doing there?
“Master, here’s what you wanted.”
Lan Yu arranged the five wooden plaques before Chu Kuangren.
“Come, pick one of them.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Lan Yu flipped over one of the wooden plaques that revealed a series of red letters… Acheron Manor!
“Then, let’s destroy the Acheron Manor first.”
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly. Yet, to the great ones who were observing the event, they felt as if they were witnessing one of the most bizarre incidents in their life.
Did the fate of some of the most remarkable orthodoxies lie within those wooden plaques?
Whichever name was on the flipped plaque would be destroyed.
Was there anything more preposterous than this?
Then, Chu Kuangren lifted his hands as he gathered the spiritual energies of the realm, forming them into an ancient Buddha statue that manifested in the air. Its Buddhist Light shone gloriously over the region.
It was Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Technique, Tathagata Rebirth Mantra.
The ancient statue unleashed a palm attack into the air, unleashing the same amount of power that once flattened the Ancient Battlefield.
