Chapter 127: Destroying The Clone With A Sage’s Attack, The Elders’ Persuasion
The Emperor Suppresses All Ability!
The Dao techniques of all the cultivators on the scene were suppressed by the Demon Emperor Aoman’s domineering aura. Even the experienced Honorable cultivators could only manipulate their spiritual power as their Dao techniques were also suppressed, causing their combat ability to decrease drastically.
However, that was just the Demon Emperor Aoman’s clone.
If His Majesty’s true form were to appear, even a Sage Ruler would be crushed to death, let alone an Honorable Supreme.
That was the power of the Emperor!
Out of all the cultivators on the scene, only Chu Kuangren alone had gained insight from the Eternal Emperor Scripture, and he did all that under the suppression of the Emperor’s Aura as well. Although the Emperor’s Aura was from a scripture and not at its full strength, Chu Kuangren’s resistance against that Emperor’s Aura was far stronger than every other cultivator there.
His resistance was so strong that he could move freely before the Demon Lord Aoman.
“Interesting, I didn’t expect such a young and handsome man like you to appear in this era. It’s a shame that you can only resist my Emperor’s Aura. After all, can a Battle Monarch like you possibly be a match for me?”
Demon Emperor Aoman said as he pointed his finger at Chu Kuangren. Then, a horrible Daoist Rhyme rang out and a surge of demonic energy burst out from his fingertips, almost causing the void to collapse.
Despite having a hundred-thousandth of the Demon Emperor’s full strength, even an Honorable Supreme would not be able to defend themselves when faced with that attack.
“Young lad.”
“Bachelor Sage!”
The expressions on the Seventh Forefather and other protectors’ faces immediately changed.
No matter how talented and skilled Chu Kuangren was, he was still a mere Battle Monarch cultivator. How could he possibly deal with an attack that was stronger than an Honorable Supreme’s?
Boom!
Just when everyone thought that Chu Kuangren was bound to perish, a terrifying surge of sword qi instantly erupted from his body!
Dazzling and rainbow-colored, that sword qi began to emanate an overbearing aura that shattered the Demon Emperor Aoman’s finger attack!
“That was a Sage level attack!”
“And not just an ordinary Sage as well!”
Demon Emperor Aoman was slightly surprised.
Then, mixed with the aura of a Sage, the mighty sword qi landed on the Demon Emperor’s clone and tore his body apart.
The leftover power had also killed and injured many of the Fallen Winged Humans behind him. In the face of that power, even an Honorable would be easily killed!
That Sage level attack shocked everyone!
Seeing what had unfolded, everyone gulped in a daze.
‘This Chu Kuangren has the power of a Sage?’
“How’s that for an attack?” Chu Kuangren asked as he looked at the Demon Emperor Aoman’s torn apart body which had started to disappear.
That particular sword qi was one of the Starlight Grade items that he had obtained from the Fantasy Roulette and it could unleash the full power of a Great Sage in a single attack!
“No matter what, it’s still much weaker than one ten-thousandth of my full strength.” The ever-so-arrogant Demon Emperor Aoman snorted coldly.
“But it can destroy your clone, which is enough for me.”
At that, the Demon Emperor Aoman’s expression darkened.
Although he did not care much about that clone, it was still destroyed and that alone was enough to fill him with rage.
He came to the human realm with the intention to pass some time, yet that clone of his was already destroyed before he could do anything. How could that still put him in a good mood?
This was no better than a person who had everything ready to go on a vacation — tickets bought, trips planned, and luggage packed — only to be robbed the moment they left the house. Just like that, everything was stolen.
“Little ant, tell me your name now!”
“My first name is Norte, and my last name is Ling!”
“Norte Ling, ‘Not Telling’… G*dd*mn f*cker, you dare mess with me!”
Demonic Emperor Aoman repeated that ‘name’ twice before he realized that it was an offensive joke. He then glared at Chu Kuangren with rage-filled eyes.
“Anyone can tell just by looking. So why do you need to ask?”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Alright, tiny ant. I will remember your aura. You best pray that you won’t fall into my hands in the future!” Demon Emperor Aoman was so furious that his mouth twitched, but he eventually disappeared into the void.
That Emperor’s Aura was gone as well.
“Retreat!”
By then, the Lord of the Fallen Winged Humans no longer cared about the reign of the Demonic Realm as he retreated towards the Demonic Well with his men.
However, right at that moment, the four pillars around the altar each emitted a dazzling light that shot towards the sky and landed on the Demonic Well.
As the surrounding void trembled, the Demonic Well started to disappear.
Lan Yu had reactivated the spell on the altar!
“I’m afraid all of you have nowhere to run to now.”
Chu Kuangren then activated his Phantom Light Strike and appeared beside the broken-winged Third Elder before he unleashed a palm attack towards him.
The power of the Human Mountain Stamp instantly burst out!
That technique itself blew Third Elder away and a huge crater was created when he landed on the ground. There were so many cracks on the ground around him, it looked like a spider’s web.
Chu Kuangren dashed before his opponent. “I already told you earlier that no one can save you now. You’re ready to meet your maker.”
“Chu Kuangren, I curse you to meet the worst death ever!”
“Now that you’ve offended the Demon Emperor, it will not end well for you.”
The blood-stained Third Elder yelled crazily.
“I’m afraid you won’t be there to see what will happen to me in the end.” With that, Chu Kuangren’s blade lit up before he brutally swung and cut the Third Elder’s head off.
An Honorable had fallen!
“Attack!”
“Everyone, let’s fight until our dying breaths!”
Seeing that retreat was longer an option, the Lord of the Fallen Winged Human Tribe yelled and led his remaining men to fight against the Winged Human Tribe.
For a moment, the mountains within a hundred-mile radius shook as the surrounding void rumbled.
Finally, with the assistance of the Seventh Elder and the others, the Fallen Winged Humans who had lost their Demon Emperor clone and any further assistance from the Demonic Well were all annihilated!
“I curse you all, Winged Humans!”
The Lord of the Fallen Winged Human Tribe roared before he was killed by both the Seventh Forefather and the Lord of the Winged Human Tribe, exploding into a mist of blood in the air!
The fall of an Honorable Supreme did not bring about any Transformations as a Sage did.
Along with the Great Dharma Emergence, even the death of an Honorable Supreme would no longer cause Transformations like the blood-colored rain to happen as before.
Perhaps after sometime later, the same thing would happen for a Sage as well.
“It’s finally done.”
The Lord of the Winged Human Tribe sighed a breath of relief. In the end, he walked up to Chu Kuangren and said gratefully, “Thank you, Brother Chu. If it weren’t for your help this time, I’m afraid the Winged Human Tribe wouldn’t have survived.”
“Glad to help,” Chu Kuangren replied indifferently.
‘I’ll take it as a favor sold to the Winged Human Tribe then.’
“Since the matter of the Demonic Well has been settled, we shall be on our way,” Chu Kuangren replied.
“Please, Brother Chu, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. You’ve been such a great help this time, so please allow me and my people to properly thank you instead. Why don’t you stay in the city for a few days? I’ll assign my men to take you on a tour and have a good time.”
The Lord of the Winged Human Tribe laughed.
“Might as well.” Chu Kuangren gave it a thought. Since he was not in a rush to leave, he agreed.
…
The next day.
One of the Winged Human Tribe’s elders came and called Lan Yu away.
Inside the great hall.
Jue Tianlan and a few other elders were gathered there. All of them were looking at Lan Yu with an innocent smile as if they were harmless.
“Lan Yu, you’re still a member of my Winged Human Tribe no matter what. Since you’ve achieved a great feat by sealing the Demonic Well this time, do you really not plan to stay?” one of the Winged Human Tribe’s elders asked kindly.
Lan Yu shook her head and replied, “My Master is the only one I’ll follow throughout my life. Wherever my Master goes, I shall follow. I’ve repeated this many times, so fellow elders, please stop persuading me to stay.”
“You’re a Young Emperor for god’s sake, what’s the point of being Chu Kuangren’s follower all day long like an idiot? How can you ever hope to achieve anything in the future?” another white-haired elder said persistently.
“Hey, you can’t put it that way. The divine predictor has prophesied that Lan Yu’s future achievements won’t be any lesser than the Emperors of Old. ”
“But then again, Lan Yu, you’ll no doubt require many resources to assist you on the path to becoming Emperor. If you’re constantly with Chu Kuangren, how can you hope to have that? Things will be better for you if you stay with the Winged Human Tribe. We’ll do our best to nurture your talents and train you, and your path to becoming an Emperor will be much smoother…”
Another kind-hearted elder continued to persuade her with all his heart.
