Chapter 413: An Earth-shattering Roar, Chu Kuangren’s Offer, Peak Audacity
The s.h.i.+ft Talisman was an item used for retreating or escaping.
By utilizing spatial force, it could allow its user to travel tens of thousands of kilometers in a flash. This valuable item was known as the Great s.h.i.+ft Talismans.
Although the Purplevoid Sage’s s.h.i.+ft Talisman was not superior to the Great s.h.i.+ft Talisman, it could still transport him thousands of kilometers away in an instant.
Even ten Sage Rulers would not be able to hold him back.
However, the moment he used the s.h.i.+ft Talisman, he realized that the spatial force within it merely caused a few ripples in the void. It did not transport him out of the formation at all.
It was as if the s.p.a.ce around him was sealed in!
“What’s going on? Why didn’t the s.h.i.+ft Talisman work?!”
“It’s the surrounding area. It’s sealed by some sort of energy. D*mn it. I bet it’s part of this formation as well, which means this formation can seal s.p.a.ce!”
Purplevoid Sage was horrified.
The s.h.i.+ft Talisman gave him the courage to enter the Astonis.h.i.+ng Cloud of Seas Formation in the first place. With it, he could be instantly transported out of the formation if he was met with danger.
However, that s.h.i.+ft Talisman had failed to work!
“Purplevoid, retreat!”
Upon noticing something odd, Sage Ruler Zhang Guang hurriedly commanded.
Purplevoid Sage did not dare to let his guard down. Since the s.h.i.+ft Talisman failed to work, all he needed to do was turn back and follow the path where he came in. Hence, he turned around and was just about to leave.
The instant he turned around, an incredibly domineering surge of pressure suddenly weighed down upon him. During that moment, it was as if his very body and soul were plunged into an abyss of fear, leading Purplevoid Sage to tremble uncontrollably.
A ferocious dragon appeared before him.
It was the dragon that was in the sea of clouds!
At this moment, its human-height head was within a meter in front of the Purplevoid Sage. Its eyes were glaring at him.
Outside the formation, countless cultivators were scared out of their lives.
The image of the ferocious dragon head, transmitted by the Vision Transmitting Rock, took up the entire light display screen.
Its chilling and merciless eyes were seething with a boundless domineering aura. It was not only glaring at Purplevoid Sage but also at the million-strong army outside and the onlookers who were observing this battle. A chill ran down everyone’s spine.
Although they were not the ones facing it head-on, they could feel its terrifying surge of ferocious qi just by looking at the Vision Transmitting Rock’s image.
However, what the others felt was far incomparable to what the Purplevoid Sage was experiencing at that time.
Everyone else only saw a transmitted image, but Purplevoid Sage was really standing before that horrifying Cloud Dragon.
“D*mn it. I can’t just die without trying!”
After all, Purplevoid Sage was at the Great Sage peak, and his Daoist core was extremely st.u.r.dy. Hence, he quickly recovered from the fear he felt earlier.
The spiritual power within him then erupted and gathered between his fingers before he unleashed a surge of vast and domineering Daoist Rhyme.
“Sacred Almighty Cyclone Punch!”
Wind began to build up in his surroundings as soon as he attacked with his fist.
That was an extremely powerful Boundary Emperor Technique that the Purplevoid Sage had been perfecting for many years. By now, his level of understanding of that technique was already quite deep.
Violent storms surrounded his fist as if it could destroy everything in its path!
Even a Sage Ruler would not be able to block a technique like this so easily.
However, at this time, the Cloud Dragon widened its eyes with rage and roared!
“Roar!!”
The dragon’s incredibly clear roar echoed everywhere!
Mixed with the power of the Astonis.h.i.+ng Cloud of Seas Formation, soundwaves from its roar shook the surrounding mountains, as well as the heavens and earth around it.
As the closest to the dragon, Purplevoid Sage immediately took the full blow of that attack. The Daoist Rhyme and spiritual power on his fist instantly shattered!
Just one roar and Purplevoid Sage’s attack crumbled and nullified, bursting his eardrums apart. Blood instantly oozed out from both ears, and his body also gave in as bloodied cuts appeared all over. He looked like a porcelain bottle that could break at any moment.
That roar sent him flying and slammed into the ground. He was in a huge mess.
“Argh…”
“My ears, my eyes…”
Purplevoid Sage rolled on the ground, wailing in pain, as an immeasurable horror enveloped him. He almost lost his sanity.
Following that, the Cloud Dragon’s claw slowly stretched out.
It was just a gentle swipe.
However, Purplevoid Sage’s body immediately blew up on the spot!!
A black rock tumbled onto the ground for a while. It was the Vision Transmitting Rock, the item used to transmit the images to the ones outside.
The great army outside fell into silence. Through the light display screen, everyone saw the Cloud Dragon soar into the skies and disappear into the sea of clouds.
At the same time, they were all horrified and shocked by its immense power.
Its roar instantly killed a Seven-Step Sage!
What kind of terrifying power was that?!
“Is this the true power of this formation?”
“It’s just too frightening!”
“This formation is not something we humans can break at all!!”
Everyone in the million-strong army was scared to death by that Cloud Dragon’s roar!
Even the Sages at the scene could not help but shudder. Before the Cloud Dragon, their strength immediately amounted to nothing.
“Purplevoid!”
Atop the Fairy boat, Sage Ruler Zhang Guang exploded with anger.
Not only was the Purplevoid Sage an elder in the Heavenly Golden Palace, but he had also a.s.sisted Sage Ruler Zhang Guang all these years, hence both of them shared a strong friends.h.i.+p. Now that the Purplevoid Sage had died inside the Black Heaven Sect’s formation technique, his hatred for Chu Kuangren grew even more.
“Chu Kuangren, I’m going to f*king kill you!!”
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang gritted his teeth and said angrily.
“The power of that Cloud Dragon is about the same as a top-notched Sage Ruler. We won’t be able to defeat it with ordinary means, so please calm yourself down, Brother Zhang Guang.”
Master Daoist Yun Tao reminded.
“I’m well aware of that.”
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang took a deep breath and forced himself to regain his composure.
“Look, someone came out.”
Someone from the crowd yelled.
Two figures could be seen walking out from the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain entrance.
It was Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu.
Lan Yu picked up the Vision Transmitting Rock from the ground and faced it towards Chu Kuangren. A flawless and handsome face immediately occupied the whole light display screen.
There were many female cultivators watching that battle.
All of them could not help but feel their hearts tremble upon seeing that face.
He was just too good-looking.
That face was undoubtedly the most perfect creation in this world.
How could such a handsome person exist?!
However, upon thinking that Chu Kuangren might perish in this great battle, the female cultivators wailed as their hearts broke.
“Lan Yu, you’re holding it too close.”
Then, Chu Kuangren spoke through the light display screen.
Lan Yu took two steps back.
“Ahem. h.e.l.lo there, everyone.”
Chu Kuangren cleared his throat and smiled at the million-strong army. “Based on the exploration earlier, I believe everyone here should have a certain understanding of my Black Heaven Sect’s mega formation. Honestly speaking, this is my first time using this mega formation in battle, so I’m not very proficient in using it. I’m sorry everyone had to see that.”
Chu Kuangren’s words echoed through the countless cultivators outside. Everyone was enraged to see his relaxed and casual behavior.
They had arrived with a mighty force to annihilate the Black Heaven Sect!
However, they were stopped outside by a formation instead. They could not enter the Black Heaven Sect, yet they were still losing their troops.
It was an incredibly frustrating and humiliating feeling for them.
“To be honest, I personally don’t prefer all this senseless killing and battling, but you’re the ones who forced my hand. Why must you escalate things to this point?”
“How about this? Why don’t we all sit down and have a nice talk? Seeing the kind person I am, you guys will only have to pay Black Heaven Sect back a few billion soulstones and a few Emperor Weapons. Then, I can more or less forgive all of you.”
Chu Kuangren continued to say.
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang and the others were so mad that their bodies trembled.
‘He is p.i.s.sing me off!!’
‘A few billion soulstones? And a few Emperor Weapons?’
‘Who’s the one being attacked here!’
‘He should take a closer look. We’re the ones who have the Black Heaven Sect surrounded, not the other way around! Even when it comes to negotiating, shouldn’t we be the ones to name our terms instead?!’
“The audacity of this guy! The sheer audacity!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord was so enraged that his face turned red.
