Chapter 584 - A Streak of Emperor Qi, the Ancient Lavish Cave, the Sky-Prides’ Movement
Inside Chu Kuangren’s spiritual mound, his Seven Supreme Foundation Levels were radiating with immense divine light as the vast sea of spiritual power raged around them.
However, at this moment, the immeasurably pure and vast spiritual power started to trigger the Supreme Foundation Levels to release some golden-colored mists. All seven of them began to rumble and gradually approach each other as if there was some kind of resonance between them.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up. “Can this be…”
He continued observing the changes in his Supreme Foundation Levels.
After appearing from the Supreme Foundation Levels, the swirls of golden mist condensed and formed a golden streak of spiritual power.
That spiritual power was greater in quality than the remaining spiritual powers around. Although it was a single streak, its presence was very vast. It was as if it could subdue the heavens itself.
Chu Kuangren took a deep breath, and his eyes lit up with delight. “This… is an Emperor qi!”
The Emperor qi was a spiritual power that could only be used by Emperor Realm cultivators!
Chu Kuangren had produced a single streak of Emperor qi that only Emperor Realm cultivators could.
In the past, streaks of Primordial Emperor’s Essence had once appeared in the Firmament Star. However, they were different compared to the Emperor qi.
That Emperor Essence contained mysterious Daoist Rhymes and was only meant for gaining insights on, enabling one to increase their understanding in the Dao. In other words, it was an item.
On the other hand, the Emperor qi that Chu Kuangren produced was a result of his cultivation. It was something that he had full control over, and he could use it to increase his combat strength as well.
“An Emperor qi is far more terrifying than any cultivator’s spiritual power. Although I only have one, it’s not something to be looked down upon!”
“It seems like my spiritual power’s quality has reached the limit of a Boundary Emperor’s level. Otherwise, it would not produce a streak of Emperor qi, which is something unique only to the Emperors.”
Chu Kuangren laughed delightfully. He had obtained such great results from refining the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame.
Very few Boundary Emperors in Emperor Road had produced their own Emperor qi. Most of the time, only the Sovereigns in orthodoxies with deep backgrounds could do it.
As for the sky-prides, even an outlawed sky-pride would require large amounts of resources and treasures to achieve something like this. Otherwise, it would be impossible.
Chu Kuangren could already overpower most of the sky-prides in the Emperor Road with just that streak of Emperor qi alone!
The resonance between the Seven Supreme Foundation Levels gradually stopped, leaving behind the single dazzling, golden streak of Emperor qi swirling within Chu Kuangren’s body.
After swirling around within his body once, the golden Emperor qi returned to Chu Kuangren’s spiritual mound. Chu Kuangren could feel as though it had grown a little compared since it was produced.
Chu Kuangren stood up once he had fully refined the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame. His black hair swayed in the wind while his deep-set eyes shone like stars. He also emanated a terrifying aura.
That was a type of Emperor’s Aura!
Swordsman Mei, Leng Ningyu, and Chi Yue’s expressions changed. Their bodies were trembling uncontrollably in the presence of his aura.
“Such power. Master has gotten stronger!”
“His rate of progress is just too fast.”
Chi Yue tutted in amazement.
“Let’s leave.”
Chu Kuangren said before leaving the swamp along with Leng Ningyu and the others.
After leaving the swamp, Chu Kuangren’s spiritual thoughts swept across a thousand-kilometer radius.
There seemed to be more treasures here compared to their previous location. It was a clear sign that they were in the Inner Circle of the Forbidden Barren Wasteland.
“The Forbidden Barren Wasteland’s Inner Circle must contain quite a lot of Opportunities of Fortune. Do you have any leads, Sister Leng?”
Chu Kuangren asked Leng Ningyu.
The Forbidden Barren Wasteland was an extremely ancient location within Emperor Road. Records about Emperors in the Firmament Star were already rare, what more an archaic location like this.
However, things were different for inheritors of archaic orthodoxies like Leng Ningyu.
These orthodoxies possessed deep backgrounds and long heritage, so they were more familiar with the Forbidden Barren Wasteland than him.
It meant that they must know a lot more information about this location than him.
That was one of the reasons Chu Kuangren brought them along in his party. He needed someone familiar with the location to help him determine what his next move should be.
Some Opportunities of Fortune just could not be found with his Treasure Locating Skill.
“Seven Emotions Sect does indeed have a lot of records about the Forbidden Barren Wasteland. There are several specific places with great Opportunities of Fortune here. Every time the Forbidden Wasteland opens, those places will always end up being the most sought-after ones by all the sky-pride. For example, the Ancient Lavish Cave, Ancient Daoist Lake, Eight Wind Dragon Mountain, and many more. ”
“Those places with great Opportunities of Fortune mostly follow specific patterns whenever the Forbidden Wasteland opens. According to it, the Ancient Lavish Cave will open in a few days.”
Leng Ningyu explained after being silent for a while.
Upon hearing it, Chu Kuangren became more amazed.
“Alright. Let’s go and check out the Ancient Lavish Cave.”
…
Besides Chu Kuangren’s party, the other sky-prides were heading to the Ancient Lavish Cave as well.
It was a place with great Opportunities of Fortune, after all. None of the sky-prides would let such an opportunity slip by.
At a mountain range somewhere.
A ray of red light suddenly rose into the sky as a dense surge of aura erupted and spread across thousands of kilometers away.
The aura forced every living creature to the ground, trembling.
A figure gradually appeared from the red light. It was a woman in bright red armor holding a long red saber, and that person was Bai Hongyu.
Sensing her own strength in the air, she smiled with satisfaction. “Sure enough, the corpse of an Emperor isn’t to be underestimated. I can’t believe it has allowed me to break through into the Boundary Emperor Realm so quickly. Since I’ve already found my own way of Dao, obtained this saber, and became a Boundary Emperor, I’m sure I can even defeat a Top-notch Boundary Emperor now!”
“Next up, the Ancient Lavish Cave that should be opening soon. It’s time I go and check out what kind of Opportunities of Fortune it offers.”
Bai Hongyu murmured before turning into a red ray of light and disappearing into thin air.
Somewhere else.
A dazzling five-colored light suddenly radiated from within a cave.
Amidst the light, a figure in long robes was seen walking out of the cave.
That person was bathed in the five-colored light while surrounded by Five Ways aura, as if the king of gods had arrived.
“Not only has my divine power, the Five Ways Divine Wheel, increased in strength, but my cultivation level has also improved greatly. If I were to be facing a Sovereign right now, I’ll definitely be able to put up a good fight. Chu Kuangren, the next time we meet, you will be shocked at my power.”
That person murmuring was the Wang clan’s Wang Quan.
He looked into the distance and said, “It’s time I head over to the Ancient Lavish Cave. I might as well test out how much stronger I’ve gotten.”
…
On a mountain peak somewhere.
A young man fiercely opened his eyes, releasing razor-sharp surges of sword qi.
The sword qi sliced through everything around him, instantly destroying the surrounding landscape.
“Now that I’ve fully refined the Sword Emperor’s inheritance, I’ve become much, much stronger!!”
“Besides, I may have only refined four fingers from that Sword Emperor’s corpse, but that amount alone is enough to increase my cultivation level to a Top-notched Boundary Emperor. Despite losing the Four Mystical Sword Emblems, I’ve still gained a lot this time!” The Sword Daoist said happily.
He took a deep breath and took out two swords. Both of them were Emperor Weapons!
They were the Godly Golden Emperor Sword and the Sword Emperor Qingxuan’s Qingxuan Divine Sword.
“Let’s see how you’ll defeat me with these two Emperor Weapons, Chu Kuangren!”
At this thought, the Sword Daoist was in high spirits.
He then gazed into the distance and said, “I hope I’ll encounter you again at the Ancient Lavish Cave. By then, I shall let you know that I’m the only one in this era destined to stand at the pinnacle of Sword Dao!”
At this moment, the Jade scroll at the Sword Daoist’s vibrated.
“A signal from the Sword Tribe?”
A little shocked, the Sword Daoist’s figure disappeared within a flash as he rushed towards the source of that signal.
Soon after, he arrived at the source of that signal.
Several Sword Tribe members were there, including a familiar person.
“Li Celong, is that you?”
The Sword Daoist took a look at Li Celong and then another at Princess Chi Lian beside him. There was a strange look in his eyes.
“Outlawed sky-pride, Princess Chi Lian, is there a reason why you’ve called me here?”
The Sword Daoist said as he looked at Princess Chi Lian with a slightly condescending attitude.
