Chapter 603 - Is Chu Kuangren Defeated? The Power of Invincible Techniques
As his Emperor qi powered the Emperor Weapon, Qin Tianchen’s poise strengthened dramatically.
He glared at Chu Kuangren and said, “Chu Kuangren, I know you have Emperor Weapons in your possession too. Show them to me.”
“You’re not worthy enough for me to do so,” said Chu Kuangren calmly. Then, his Divine Ferocious Avatar unleashed another fist attack.
“Nonsense!”
Qin Tianchen roared and retaliated with his fist attack.
As his Emperor qi drew the power of the Emperor Weapon, Qin Tianchen discharged a boundlessly magnificent attack that struck the Divine Ferocious Avatar to take two steps back.
“Come, Nine Fists of the Heavenly Path!”
Qin Tianchen unleashed the most powerful Emperor Technique known to him.
It was an Emperor Technique that he had invented in his past life, and it resonated well with the path of Dao he chose. Combining that with his Emperor Weapon, Qin Tianchen discharged a burst of power with magnitudes that could almost bring down the realm.
In the first fist movement, a destructive typhoon ensued.
As such, the Divine Ferocious Avatar was forced to retreat again.
In his second fist, the mountains and rivers crumbled. In his third fist, the firmament changed its shades. As Qin Tianchen relentlessly unleashed one attack after another, each fist attack was deadlier than the last.
By the time Qin Tianchen was at his seventh fist movement, Chu Kuangren’s Divine Ferocious Avatar was showing signs of cracking. It was as if it would collapse at any given moment.
In the eighth movement, the Divine Ferocious Avatar imploded with a burst of spiritual power and Daoist Rhymes.
Qin Tianchen stood triumphantly. “Chu Kuangren, it’s time for your defeat!”
The sky-prides nearby were carried away by the battle. Those from the Qin clan were especially excited.
“Qin Tianchen has won! He truly is the Emperor’s incarnate.”
“Haha, well done! Finally, we can heave a sigh of relief.”
“Chu Kuangren isn’t so invincible after all.”
Chu Kuangren’s dominance had threatened the sky-prides too much.
They had endured countless embarrassment within the past few days.
Seeing Chu Kuangren’s suffering right now had certainly lifted them to cloud nine.
“You didn’t even manage to scratch me. How do you even have that kind of confidence?” Chu Kuangren sneered.
“Oh, you’re still in denial, I see. Then, I shall have you experience an undeniable defeat!”
Qin Tianchen reactivated the Heavenly God’s Gauntlet and leaped forward, aiming a fist attack right at Chu Kuangren’s chest.
This time, Chu Kuangren finally made a move. He did not use the avatar nor his sword, but instead, he retaliated with a fist attack just like Qin Tianchen!
The spectators were stunned at the sight of it.
After all, Qin Tianchen was armed with an Emperor Weapon!
Infusing it with his Emperor qi would surely yield unimaginable power.
If Chu Kuangren’s Divine Ferocious Avatar could not survive Qin Tianchen’s attacks, was Chu Kuangren not throwing his life away by using his bare fist to greet Qin Tianchen’s final move?!
Almost everyone expected Chu Kuangren to be instantly blasted away by Qin Tianchen’s fist technique!
In reality, a terrifying explosion erupted as the opposing fist attacks collided, and a person was indeed blasted away by the impact.
The only difference was that the person of the subject was… Qin Tianchen!
As for Chu Kuangren, he was still retaining the posture of his fist technique while his body seethed with a terrifying aura.
A boundlessly intimidating Daoist Rhyme emerged from his body, vaguely forming lines of Daoist runes around him.
“Come, I’ll let you witness my… Invincible Technique!”
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
As he leaped forward, his Daoist Rhymes poured out more violently. In an instant, the entire lake began to boil uncontrollably.
“It’s the Esoteric Aura!”
“How’s it possible? How would you have an Esoteric Technique?!”
Qin Tianchen was puzzled.
He could only stare at Chu Kuangren from the shore that Chu Kuangren had blasted him to.
An Esoteric Technique was the highest form of an Emperor Technique!
It was the perfect interpretation and manifestation of a person’s understanding of his own Dao!
Each Esoteric Technique was created by an Emperor. They were techniques that belonged exclusively to the person who invented them, and another person could never learn them.
In other words.
Chu Kuangren’s Esoteric Technique was forged out of his own Dao understanding. It was a technique that belonged only to Chu Kuangren!
“I understand now. The Esoteric Aura that unfolded previously was all your doing.” Qin Tianchen remembered sensing the Esoteric Aura a few days ago.
“Esoteric, you said?”
Chu Kuangren murmured, “So that’s what these powerful Emperor Techniques are called.”
He had always felt his invented techniques were far more powerful than most Emperor Techniques. It turned out that these techniques were known as Esoteric Techniques!
“My Esoteric Technique is only in its early stage. Let me test it on you then, Emperor incarnate,” Chu Kuangren said.
“Nine Fists of the Heavenly Path!”
Qin Tianchen did not dare tread lightly, so he attacked ahead of Chu Kuangren.
He channeled the power of his nine fists to its fullest potential.
One fist came after another, and when Qin Tianchen finally reached the ninth fist, he was unleashing the stacked power of all previous movements into one.
The combined power made the earth shudder violently.
Even so, Chu Kuangren was unfazed. Almost with ease, he responded with just a single punch. “Invincible Technique, Empyrean Maelstrom!”
Chu Kuangren concentrated a dense flow of Daoist Rhymes into his fist, which manifested as a gigantic whirlpool that could devour the realm.
When Qin Tianchen’s Emperor Technique fell onto the whirlpool, it disintegrated effortlessly into atoms. It did not come close to hurting Chu Kuangren at all.
Then, the maelstrom spat a terrifying burst of energy from its epicenter and blasted Qin Tianchen away again.
This time, he was injured enough to spit a mouthful of blood.
“D*mn it!”
Qin Tianchen retrieved a large bottle of medicinal pills and swallowed it all.
Following that, his aura rose dramatically.
“Ninth Layer Draconic Destruction!”
Qin Tianchen roared furiously and unleashed another Emperor Technique.
He punched forward and discharged nine distinct forms of spiritual powers that were infused with his Emperor qi. As they intersected in the air, Qin Tianchen’s attack manifested as a giant golden dragon that clawed its way towards Chu Kuangren.
“Invincible Technique, Inverted Universe!”
Chu Kuangren unleashed a frightening amount of energy between his hands.
An inverted Yin Yang symbol manifested in the air, conjuring the terrifying depiction of a world where night and day had switched places while stars were falling through the firmament.
An apocalyptic wave of energy swept out, flattening and ruining the entire Ancient Daoist Lake.
The gliding dragon was almost worthless in the face of such destructive energy, and it was instantly reduced into clouds of glittering golden dust that dissipated across the battlefield.
Taking the full force of the incoming energy, Qin Tianchen was blasted away and uncontrollably spat several mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Chu Kuangren’s invented Invincible Techniques came in two-fold.
The Empyrean Maelstrom was a defensive technique that could absorb energies and reflect parts of it back to his attacker.
The Inverted Universe was an offensive technique merged from the myriads of offensive techniques that Chu Kuangren had amassed over the years. It was designed to cause the most amount of destruction.
Such destructive amounts of energy could almost invert the cycle of night and day, upsetting all of the natural order of the universe!
The sky-prides were utterly dumbfounded, to say the least.
What had they just witnessed?
The widely hailed Emperor incarnate, Qin Tianchen, was not even fit to retaliate against Chu Kuangren’s attacks!
He was the brightest sky-prides amongst all in the Emperor Road, for crying out loud!
Yet, he was defeated so easily by Chu Kuangren!
“I must leave!”
After sustaining massive injuries, Qin Tianchen no longer had any doubts. He cast a certain secret technique that caused his internal Emperor qi to surge and transform into a colossal amount of energy to replenish his body!
“Ninth Layer Draconic Destruction!”
Qin Tianchen unleashed his fist technique again. The burning Emperor qi that was yielded by his secret technique granted him even more power than before.
However, Chu Kuangren was still unfazed. He simply lifted his hand to summon the Empyrean Maelstrom, which proceeded to absorb all of that attack and return part of it to Qin Tianchen.
In the meantime, Qin Tianchen had already torn a Great Shift Talisman apart and vanished on the spot.
The reflected fist qi went past his original position and blasted on the dozens of stone pillars in the distance, reducing them into debris that rained over the battlefield.
