A grand yet rare battle was taking place at the Seven Emotions Sect!
On one side of the battle were some of the strongest Sovereigns that could be found in Emperor Road, while on the other side was just a young sky-pride!
Such a gap would sound ridiculous to most people.
Who were they kidding?
More than a dozen Sovereigns were ganging up on a young sky-pride?
How was that possible?!
Yet, the seemingly preposterous narrative was exactly what happened in the Seven Emotions Sect!
Not only that, but the development of this shocking event had taken a twist very few would have imagined it to be.
To most cultivators, the answer would have been obvious. After all, who could possibly survive the combined attacks from more than a dozen Sovereigns?!
If such power did exist, it would undoubtedly be the most superior display of power within the Emperor Road.
However, such was the unbelievable truth.
The group of Sovereigns had failed to defeat a young sky-pride on the battlefield!
"How in the world did you manage to befriend this creature?"
Sovereign Ying watched from the grand hall as Chu Kuangren brought the battles up into the air and fought his way down to the ground. She gulped and could not believe that Chu Kuangren was capable of putting on such a spectacular fight against the Sovereigns.
Even Lady Leng Yue was utterly speechless.
It was such a mind-numbing development to Chu Kuangren"s power.
Not long ago, Chu Kuangren"s abilities were far from what they currently observe. How did he manage to achieve such a dramatic increase in power after a trip into the Forbidden Barren Wasteland?! Chu Kuangren now seemed like a completely different person!
As the arrays of energies exploded in the sky, the intersections of countless Daoist Rhymes dyed the entire firmament in a multicolored display of lights.
The spectators could almost feel their hearts beating out of their chest.
They knew that beyond the spectacular display were the incessant barrage of deadly energies.
Almost no one within the Emperor Road would be able to survive in that exchange.
"Venomous Caustic Palm!"
Boom!
The Toxin Sovereign and Chu Kuangren exchanged their palm techniques.
The bones within the Toxin Sovereign"s arm instantly shattered into many pieces, yet somehow, he was still grinning away. "I"ve finally caught you, little one."
A surge of poison qi flowed from the Toxin Sovereign"s pores and into Chu Kuangren"s body
"Even the Sovereigns would find my poison quite lethal. No matter how strong your cultivation is, you can"t fend this off!"
"Is that so?"
Chu Kuangren grinned as he latched tightly onto the Toxin Sovereign"s arm and landed two blows straight into the Toxin Sovereign"s chest.
The Toxin Sovereign felt that his entire body was about to be ripped into several pieces.
However, he could not dodge Chu Kuangren"s attack as the latter was clutching tightly onto his arm. Just as Chu Kuangren was about to land his third blow with his fist, the Toxin Sovereign immediately roared. He then surged his spiritual power and severed his arm from his body.
Meanwhile, the arm that Chu Kuangren was grabbing on exploded into pieces, covering Chu Kuangren with a layer of venomous blood.
"Hurry! He has been poisoned!"
The Toxin Sovereign suppressed the pain from his severed arm and yelled to his allies.
"Chu Kuangren, time for you to die!"
One of the Sovereigns leaped forward and discharged a formidable burst of thunder energies into his fist technique.
"Inverted Universe!"
Chu Kuangren retaliated with another fist technique.
Amidst an explosion, the thunder energies that were concentrated at the Sovereign"s fist immediately dissipated!
After that, the Sovereign immediately exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
Nevertheless, the terrifying fist qi retained its momentum and charged relentlessly into another Sovereign, who was blasted a few hundred meters away.
The Sovereigns glared deadly at the Toxin Sovereign.
How could a poisoned person be so powerful?!
Who was he kidding?!
The Toxin Sovereign was puzzled.
"Impossible. My poison qi and poison blood have penetrated through his system. No matter how sophisticated his medical skill is, he shouldn"t be able to recover in time."
"That"s impossible!"
The Toxin Sovereign was in utter disbelief.
His Toxic Plague Physique had never failed him throughout all those years in battle. Why did it fail this time?!
"The Toxic Plague Physique can"t harm me at all!"
Chu Kuangren chuckled softly.
His Immortal Body itself possessed great poison resistance. Coupled with Chu Kuangren"s continuous enhancement of his physiques over the years, it meant he was immune even to the poison of the Toxic Plague Physique.
What was more, he was a top-notch physician.
While the Toxic Plague Physique would greatly harm an ordinary cultivator, it was futile against Chu Kuangren.
"Well, it"s time for me to check out your true powers!"
Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and summoned a lightning bolt that transformed into a guqin. As he spread his fingers across the strings, the tune of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords began to reverberate through the battlefield!
"It"s Guqin Dao. How many techniques does this guy know?!"
"D*mn it. He even has an Emperor Weapon for it!"
"Hmph, he"s not the only person with an Emperor Weapon!"
The Sovereigns exchanged looks and proceeded to reveal their Emperor Weapons.
"Chu Kuangren, no matter the price, I"ll make sure you die today!" The Dark Shadow"s Chief Sovereign retrieved a dark longsword and declared coldly.
"I agree. Even if it means allying myself with darkness, I must seek vengeance for the Sovereigns of my Holy Light"s ancestral land!" The Holy Light"s Chief Sovereign said with anger as he brandished a white staff.
An unforgiving burst of sword aura ensued.
The Tempest Sword Sovereign"s ancient longsword began to radiate brightly as it shook off its aged appearance and revealed a colorful, crystal-like longsword in its position. It was his sword"s true form.
"Chu Kuangren, this is for the Sword Tribe"s outlawed sky-pride!"
The Tempest Sword Sovereign uttered determinedly.
"The w.a.n.g clan will not stand by and allow you to grow stronger either."
A multicolored array of light surrounded the Sovereign of the w.a.n.g clan as he swung an enormous pole flag around.
It was another Emperor Weapon of the w.a.n.g clan.
"Xiao Jingchen may only be the son-in-law of the Bai clan, he was the host of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique. After obtaining a great Emperor"s inheritance from the Forbidden Barren Wasteland, he stood a decent chance of ascending into an Emperor"s Throne. Yet, you"ve taken all of that away from him!"
The Sovereign of the Bai clan was infuriated too.
He retrieved a long spear that was seething with a boundless amount of Emperor"s Aura.
"The outlawed sky-pride of the demonic tribe will not die in vain as well!"
The demonic tribe"s Sovereign grunted and retrieved a large stamp.
The stamp had an enormous demonic symbol carved on it, and it was radiating with demonic qi and Emperor"s Aura.
One by one, the Sovereigns revealed their Emperor Weapons.
The battlefield was surging with an endless source of Emperor"s Aura!
Chu Kuangren chuckled and mobilized his Daoist Rhymes and Emperor qi to its limit before channeling it into his Springtime Lightning.
"Very well!"
"My Sovereigns, show me everything you"ve got, and let"s make this party a blast!"
Buzz!
Chu Kuangren plucked the guqin chord and sent guqin sound waves into the realm.
It was the First Movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Boundless Overworld!
The guqin music acted as a summon to war, bringing the battle into the next stage.
The Sovereigns began to draw their powers from the Emperor Weapons.
In a split second, the longsword unleashed a terrifying sword ray, the dark sword ejected a terrifying dark aura, the staff shone with a glorious white light, the long spear pierced through the realm, the pole flag danced majestically in the air, the stamp unfolded an unending mist of demonic qi…
The Emperor Weapons clashed violently with Chu Kuangren"s Guqin Daoist Rhymes.
The earth shook within a hundred thousand kilometers radius.
The realm split open as the ground fissured. The wrath that ensued from the terrifying collision brought upon waves of destruction that swept across the lands around them.
Sovereign Ying"s expression s.h.i.+fted. "Activate our defensive mega formation!"
A gigantic light barrier encased the Seven Emotions Sect within, s.h.i.+elding them from the aftermath that erupted from the clash of the Emperor Weapons.
The spectators, who were observing from a distance away, were immediately mortified as they either fled for their lives or attempted to s.h.i.+eld themselves with their spiritual powers.
Within mere moments, the realm had descended into an apocalyptic chaos.
