Chapter 602 - Qin Tianchen Appears, Heavenly God’s Gauntlet, Emperor’s Weapon Powered by Emperor Qi
The battle of a thousand against one resulted in the gruesome defeat of a thousand cultivators!
The biggest issue was that the one thousand cultivators consisted of sky-prides from various formidable orthodoxies. Some of them were even outlawed sky-prides!
Alas, they still failed miserably.
What a shameful failure!
After Chu Kuangren mocked his opponents, he went for the Primeval Daoist Gem without batting an eye at them. Just before he could store the treasures in his inventory, a new surge of boundless palm qi hailed from a mountain peak in the distance.
The palm qi came like a torrential gale, infused with the might that could shake the earth.
Before the palm qi could land, the surface of the Ancient Daoist Lake had curved inwards.
“Oh, interesting.”
Chu Kuangren retaliated by summoning a sword ray through his sword finger.
The sword ray pierced through the palm qi, causing the lake water to crash out of control. The tremendous force of energy had almost split the entire lake into two.
The lakewater gurgled, followed by a massive explosion.
“The Primeval Daoist Gem is mine!”
A pristine voice echoed through the realm.
The spectators traced the source of the voice to a peak and noticed a purple-robed figure gliding across the air.
It was a young cultivator whose sturdy features and triumphant expressions suggested that he was no ordinary person.
The spectators were instinctually overcome by a sense of admiration. Through his silhouette, they thought they were looking at an Emperor who had transcended beyond the mortal realm.
Chu Kuangren could immediately recognize the person before him even without using his Eye of Revelation.
It was Qin Tianchen, the person who was also known as the Emperor incarnate!
Chu Kuangren smirked. “Finally, an opponent worth taking seriously. However, if you want to take the Primeval Daoist Gem from me, you can dream on.”
Chu Kuangren immediately vanished into the air and reappeared before the Primeval Daoist Gem, which he reached out to grab.
Qin Tianchen did not waste any time in reacting either.
“Great Principle Frost Palm!”
With a grunt, Qin Tianchen concentrated the spiritual powers into his hand that discharged a boundless wave of frost qi.
The entire Ancient Daoist Lake was instantly covered in three meters of ice, turning everything within a thousand kilometers radius into a winter wasteland. The unforgiving frost qi had consumed the realm.
Upon seeing that, Chu Kuangren converged the Four Mystical force within his palm. Soon, it transformed into a sword shadow that hailed towards the incoming palm qi.
As the extreme forces collided, the frozen lake exploded into pieces. The countless ice shards rained over the entire arena like a heavy blizzard.
The ground surrounding the lake ripped apart, causing the enormous mountain to destabilize and split into multiple pieces.
“These two monsters are destroying a precious heritage land.”
“Looks like it’ll take several millennia before the Ancient Daoist Lake can recover from this damage.”
“This is way too frightening.”
The sky-prides retreated in horror.
As the dust from the collision began to settle, the spectators saw both opponents facing each other on top of their own floating ice blocks.
One of them was holding a white orb the size of an infant. It was none other than the Primeval Daoist Gem that was birthed from the Ancient Daoist Lake.
“You’re not so ordinary after all.”
Qin Tianchen stared at the Primeval Daoist Gem that was in Chu Kuangren’s hand and said solemnly.
Although it happened all in one move, he suffered a great loss.
Now, the Primeval Daoist Gem was in Chu Kuangren’s hands.
“On the contrary, you’re quite the ordinary person,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently. His Eye of Revelation had told him all he needed to know about Qin Tianchen.
As the rumors suggested, he was indeed the reincarnation of an Emperor.
Unfortunately for him, Chu Kuangren did not see a possibility of being defeated by Qin Tianchen.
However, the battle might bring Chu Kuangren some levels of enlightenment.
That being said, it was not that big of a deal.
“Ever since I’ve recovered the memories of my past life, no sky-prides of this world are worth my attention. Even sky-prides like the Sword Daoist and Wang Quan could not survive more than three attacks from me.”
“I’m curious to see how long you can last.”
Qin Tianchen stood triumphantly with his arms crossed as his aura increased incessantly and his domineering Daoist Rhymes emanated.
As the Emperor incarnate, Qin Tianchen’s insight into the Dao had far surpassed that of those Boundary Emperors, but he could not unleash its full power due to his cultivation level and the Heavenly Dao’s limitation. Even so, he was far stronger than the outlawed sky-prides.
“Talk is cheap.”
Chu Kuangren stored the Primeval Frost Gem in his Yin and Yang Ring.
Similarly, Chu Kuangren was unleashing an endless stream of powerful Daoist Rhymes that distinguished itself from that of Qin Tianchen.
“Oh, it seems like your Dao has reached an impressive level.”
Qin Tianchen was surprised.
By lifting his hands, Qin Tianchen concentrated his spiritual powers into his grip, which emitted a terrifying aura. Qin Tianchen was capable of producing Emperor qi as well.
“Fiery Empyrean Fist!” Qin Tianchen punched forward, unleashing a scorching fist strength that melted all of the frosts in the vicinity.
The fist qi locked onto Chu Kuangren and blocked all possible paths of escape!
However, Chu Kuangren had never intended to flee.
As he drew his Self Descendant Sword forward, Chu Kuangren unleashed the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.
The blinding sword ray abruptly tore through the fist qi and charged relentlessly towards Qin Tianchen.
“What?!”
Qin Tianchen was taken by surprise and immediately retaliated with another fist attack. The explosion that ensued from the collision forced Qin Tianchen to take several steps back. His gaze was solemn. “I didn’t think a sky-pride of this era would be capable of producing Emperor qi!”
“There’s more that you didn’t think of.”
Chu Kuangren unleashed the power of his Three Great Daoist Physiques, conjuring the Divine Ferocious Avatar in the air. With the help of the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes and Emperor qi, the avatar’s presence triggered a violent and dramatic change in nature.
Qin Tianchen was made incredulous by the sight of the Divine Ferocious Avatar.
“A Daoist Physique Recombination Technique? And that heavenly tribulation-like Daoist Rhymes and Emperor qi… D*mn it. Such a freak does exist in this era!”
Qin Tianchen was overwhelmed by shock.
As the reincarnation of an Emperor, he thought his fair share of resources would have made him the most terrifying sky-pride of this world.
He had never thought that a person like Chu Kuangren could still exist. His Daoist Physique Recombination Technique that drew the power of Three Great Daoist Physiques was enough to overshadow ninety-nine percent of sky-prides.
Never mind the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes and Emperor Qi.
Such power was just too frightening.
“Emperor incarnate, use all you can to survive.”
Chu Kuangren taunted casually before the Divine Ferocious Avatar launched a fist attack, sending a destructive wave of energy towards Qin Tianchen.
“Heavenly God’s Gauntlet!”
A gold gauntlet appeared around Qin Tianchen’s right hand. It was radiating with the presence of mythical Daoist Rhymes.
Qin Tianchen punched forward and clashed violently with the Divine Ferocious Avatar’s fist attack. As a result, the Ancient Daoist Lake exploded, and its lakewater gushed into the air.
The terrifying blast spread out, causing more of the surrounding cultivators, who were already injured by the spiritual qi backlash, to perish.
Most of the sky-prides were dead by now.
They had paid a hefty price in order to destroy Chu Kuangren.
Yet, they got nothing in return.
“I didn’t think I’d need to use my Emperor Weapon to deal with a sky-pride.” Qin Tianchen ground his teeth and said after parrying the Divine Ferocious Avatar’s attack.
As the proud Emperor incarnate, he never had to take the sky-prides seriously.
However, he now found himself having to go full force in his match against Chu Kuangren. He even had to reveal the Emperor’s Weapon that he rarely deployed on the battlefield.
‘He’s my greatest obstacle towards ascending into the Emperor’s Throne. He must not be left alive!’ Qin Tianchen thought, his eyes burning with murderous intent as he injected his Emperor Qi into the gauntlet.
The golden gauntlet fumed with a terrifying power, which made the Daoist Rhymes around it appear palpable and visible.
An Emperor Weapon powered by Emperor qi!
It was a far deadlier combination when compared to an Emperor Weapon that the other sky-prides wielded with spiritual power!
