Chapter 419: The Power Of A Sage Ruler’s Body, The Four Great Wild Beasts, The Emperor Weapon
Chu Kuangren pointed his sword towards the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord.
Both of them stood proudly while their momentum rapidly rose.
The collision of the two different Daoist Rhymes made the surrounding mountains and rivers collapse. However, the two people still stood there unmoved.
The clash between both of their auras caused an invisible energy barrier to form around them. No one below the level of a Sage dared to get close to it.
“Chu Kuangren, before we fight, I have something to ask you.”
“Whatever nonsense it is? Go ahead.”
“Were you the one that killed my disciple, Li Ze?”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord asked angrily.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren pondered before he asked him confusingly, “Li Ze, hmm… That name sounds a bit familiar. I wonder who might that be?”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord was so p.i.s.sed that a vein on his head popped. Holding back his anger, he asked once more, “It’s the Nine Head Clan’s young master. Did you kill him?”
Only then did Chu Kuangren realize. “Oh, you mean that piece of trash that killed the people in his own clan. Yeah, I think I remember him.”
“That’s right. I was the one who killed him. I think he had some sort of b.e.s.t.i.a.l soul essence with him, right? It’s here with me as well.”
Chu Kuangren took out the b.e.s.t.i.a.l soul essence he obtained from Li Ze’s body and asked, “So? Do you want it back?”
“I’ll f*cking killing you!!”
After confirming that Chu Kuangren was indeed the person who killed his beloved disciple, the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord yelled and raised his hand, gathering the spiritual power. Then, a violent surge of palm qi unleashed to form a ferocious strange beast that roared as it dashed out!
Surges of ferocious qi filled the air. It was so powerful that it could engulf the heavens and earth!
It was one of the Four Great Wild Beasts, the Avarice!
Facing the incoming palm qi that transformed into a ferocious beast, Chu Kuangren swung his sword and shot a chilling razor-sharp purple sword ray toward the skies!
Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!
Not only had this Emperor Technique been with Chu Kuangren for a very long time, but it was also his most familiar and used technique of all time.
That single strike possessed enough power to destroy everything around them!
Just like that, the sword qi tore the ferocious Avarice beast apart!
Meanwhile, the remaining sword qi headed towards the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord!
Despite being a Sage Ruler, the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord was still shocked at the incoming razor-sharp sword ray in front of him. He then lifted his hand and launched a palm attack.
His terrifying palm strength shattered the sword qi.
However, Chu Kuangren had already unleashed follow-up attacks to kill him.
Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, Infallible Tormented Physique, Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique — these Three Great Supreme Daoist Physiques were among the best Daoist Physiques in the world. The power they contained was something that countless cultivators in the world could only dream of.
Yet, Chu Kuangren himself possessed all three of them. Moreover, he had pushed those three Daoist Physiques to its limit, merging sword qi, ferocious qi, and Transcendental Might into his attacks.
Such a level of strength was terrifying.
His every move contained the power to shake the world!
“This guy is formidable!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord waved his palms as he dealt with Chu Kuangren’s attacks.
Every time their attacks collided, the surrounding area and even the skies rumbled. It was as if thousands of mountains were cras.h.i.+ng into one another.
“Raging G.o.ds Fist!”
After forcing the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord back with a swing from his sword, Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and unleashed a fist attack.
A black fist sign burning with a raging fire erupted!
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord unleashed a palm attack into the void, where his palm qi intertwined and formed a winged ferocious beast that rushed forth to attack. It was the wild beast, the Manticore!
The collision between the fist and palm attacks blasted both parties backward.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren did not back down. He continued to attack by unleas.h.i.+ng various Emperor Techniques, one after another.
“Palm of Sorrow!”
He unleashed a palm attack that emanated a sorrowful aura.
/strong>
It seemed to have affected some of the sages because their battle intent was drastically reduced.
“Heart Piercing Finger!”
Then, the strength of the Heart Piercing Finger began to attack the Sages’ Daoist cores!
Even the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord could not resist the two energies that targeted a person’s mind. As such, his reflexes slowed down for a moment, and his whole body was struck by the huge impact.
Even a Great Sage would instantly explode in the face of such power!
However, the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord merely trembled with drops of blood trickling out from the corner of his mouth. It seemed he only suffered a minor injury.
Nevertheless, that was enough to enrage him.
“Chu Kuangren, you have quite a lot of techniques up your sleeves, but I didn’t expect that you could hurt me.” The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord sneered as the killing intent in his eyes grew.
A glint flashed across Chu Kuangren’s eyes. “Oh, you’re indeed a true Sage Ruler. With just that Sage Ruler’s body of yours, I bet you can easily annihilate most of the Sages.”
Besides the obvious difference in Daoist Rhymes, another difference between a Sage and someone below a Sage’s level was their physiques. After all, a Sage-grade spiritual power and Daoist Rhyme possessed an effect that could nurture and strengthen its user’s body, allowing the user’s physique to strengthen tremendously.
The stronger one’s foundation was in the Sage Manifestation Realm, the more terrifying their physique was.
It was especially true for the Sages who focused on developing the strength of their physique, which was even more terrifying.
As a Sage Ruler, the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord had also strengthened his body specifically before. Hence, Chu Kuangren’s attack could not cause that much damage to his body despite being powerful enough to kill Great Sages.
“Chu Kuangren, I bet that you’ve run out of hidden techniques by now, so let me show you my true strength.”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord snorted and took out the Mountain River Scroll.
In an instant, the long and beautiful picture scroll unfolded itself in the air. Roars echoed in the skies before four terrifying b.e.s.t.i.a.l souls emerged from the Mountain River Scroll.
One of them was a creature that looked similar to a tiger and had wings on its back. Another was a huge flaming red bug that had six legs and four wings. There was also one that had a bull’s horns, a tiger’s claws, and a terrifying mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth. The last one looked like a tiger as well, but it had golden fur and a pair of protruding teeth similar to a wild boar.
These were Four Wild b.e.s.t.i.a.l Souls, the strongest beings in the Mountain River Scroll!
They were the Manticore, Beastfiend, Avarice, and Sabertooth!
However, those were not the real wild b.e.s.t.i.a.l souls. In fact, they were produced by the Craggy Ocean Tower instead, via a secret technique with the original four as reference.
Even so, the might of those four should not be taken lightly. Their ferocious qi that filled the air was so horrifying that it sent s.h.i.+vers down everyone’s spine.
“What a frightening b.e.s.t.i.a.l soul!”
“The Craggy Ocean Tower’s techniques are truly extraordinary.”
“I bet each of these b.e.s.t.i.a.l souls is a Great Sage peak… No, their combat strength might be on par with a Sage Ruler. This is just too terrifying.”
The crowd of Sages was astonished.
Just those four wild b.e.s.t.i.a.l souls alone could replace all Sage at the scene, except the ones from the unknown lands.
That was the strength of the unknown lands!
“The Four Perils? Bring it on!”
Chu Kuangren was not afraid, and he even made the first move.
The moment he took action, a set of black armor suddenly appeared on his body. It emanated a surge of ferocious qi that was even more terrifying than the Four Perils!
“What?!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord’s pupils shrank.
Inside the Fairy boat, the other Sage Rulers could not help but stand up with shock.
“That armor is an Emperor Weapon!”
“Another Emperor Weapon! Besides the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd, I can’t believe this guy has another Emperor Weapon! How is this possible?”
An Emperor Weapon was incredibly rare.
Ever since the Last Emperor’s disappearance in the past ancient times, the Emperor Weapons’ existence vanished from the Firmament Star. Even amongst the unknown lands, only a few of them possessed Emperor Weapons. Yet, Chu Kuangren alone had two of them in his possession!
“It’s definitely one of the Qian Imperial Palace’s Opportunities of Fortune!”
“That’s right. That must be it. Otherwise, how can we explain the second Emperor Weapon being in his possession?” Sage Ruler Zhang Guang said.
It took the group of Sage Rulers no time to figure out where the Innate Ferocious Armor came from.
By then, Chu Kuangren was already in battle with the Four Great Wild Beasts. Their extremely violent wild beast ferocious qi collided with the Emperor Weapon’s ferocious qi!
However, it did not take long before the Four Perils’ ferocious qi was completely suppressed!
