Chapter 326: One Hundred Meters of Emperor’s Aura, Leaving Everyone In The Dust
“Let’s see who has the guts to force us to leave!”
As soon as he said those words, multiple powerful surges of aura erupted from the Four Domains’ Sages behind him.
A glint flashed in Eversodden Sage’s eyes as he glared at Chu Kuangren.
He noticed that Chu Kuangren’s presence had instilled a strong sense of confidence among the Four Domains’ Sages who were currently at a disadvantage!
He was like the main piece of support that held the Four Domains’ Sages together!
‘When the hell did someone like this appear in the Four Domains?’
The Eversodden Sage was slightly confused.
“Dare I ask, what is your name?”
“I’m Chu Kuangren, Sect Leader of the Black Heaven Sect.”
The Eversodden Sage was even more shocked to hear that name.
He had heard of Chu Kuangren’s name before.
That name had been quite well-known and reputable for the past few years. Although he was not as famous in the Outer Seas, Eversodden Sage still knew of that name.
‘This person is a peerless sky-pride.’
‘But how does a single sky-pride bring so much confidence to the Sages?’
‘Isn’t that a bit too weird?’
What a shame it was that Eversodden Sage only knew of Chu Kuangren but knew nothing about him. Otherwise, Eversodden Sage would not be that confused right now.
The current Chu Kuangren was no longer the same as he was in the past. With him single-handedly defeating six Sages in the First City and overpowering a Great Sage, that level of strength he possessed had been acknowledged by the crowd of Sages behind him.
At this point, Chu Kuangren was undoubtedly the most reliable comrade they had.
“Hmph, these Four Domains’ Sages are becoming more and more decrepit every time we see them. Now they’re relying on some so-called Black Heaven Sect Leader, a nobody who’s not even a Sage to give them orders. What a joke.”
One of the Outer Seas’ Sage could not help but sneer.
He then looked at Chu Kuangren. “Boy, you may be a peerless sky-pride in the Four Domains for becoming a Sect Leader at such a young age, but why don’t you open your eyes and take a look at the situation you’re in. Everyone here is a Sage, through and through. This is not a place for a brat like you to run his mouth, so get lost!”
The Outer Seas’ Sage snorted coldly before he raised his hand to unleash a palm attack at Chu Kuangren. His motive was clear and simple. First, he would destroy Chu Kuangren and then force the Four Domains’ Sages to leave the area.
No matter how strong Chu Kuangren was, even with the boldest and craziest assumption that he could face off against a Sage, what could he possibly do?
The Outer Seas’ Sages were at an absolute advantage here. Even if a battle were to break out, the Four Domains’ Sages would gain nothing from it as well.
The raging surge of Sage Daoist Rhyme locked on to Chu Kuangren. That incoming palm attack was like a bolt of thunder, and it was hard to resist for a non-Sage cultivator.
Just when the Outer Seas’ Sages expected the attack to critically injure Chu Kuangren, the latter gracefully lifted his jade-white palm and lightly released a palm attack of his own.
The moment the jade-white palm of his collided with the incoming Sage’s palm attack, the two different Daoist Rhymes crashed into each other and a terrifying shockwave instantly erupted.
The result of that exchange was clear!
The Outer Seas’ Sage let out a scream as his palm qi’s Daoist Rhyme was brutally destroyed by Chu Kuangren. Just like that, he was sent flying nearly a hundred meters away with his arm broken and his shattered bones piercing through his skin.
The Outer Seas’ Sages were extremely shocked and horrified at what they were witnessing. On the other hand, the Four Domains’ Sages were all calm and composed, clearly not surprised at all by this scene.
“How is this possible!”
“What a terrifying level of energy that was. Is that the power of someone below a Sage’s level? How did this person manage to do it?”
Having witnessed Chu Kuangren’s combat strength for the first time, the Outer Seas’ Sages could not contain their shock. Even their Daoist core trembled at the thought of it.
“Does anyone else want to force us to leave now?” Chu Kuangren swept his gaze across the whole area as a surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme rapidly increased around his body.
The crowd of Outer Seas’ Sages was terrified.
Even their leader, the Eversodden Sage continued to stare at Chu Kuangren as his poise rose and a horrifying surge of Great Sage Daoist Rhyme emanated.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren merely stood still as the Daoist Rhyme that was surrounding his body turned into the Daoist Rhyme of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords and it swept outward in an instant.
Faint sounds of guqin music resounded in the void.
It was the stringless guqin Dao!
Guqin music could be played without a string!
That level of guqin Dao and also its Daoist Rhyme caused the Eversodden Sage’s expression to turn grim. He had never looked like this before.
“This person is not a Sage, yet his Daoist Rhyme can still face-off with a Great Sage like me. How does he do it?”
The Eversodden Sage was puzzled yet extremely frightened.
“Alright, then we’ll do it according to what you proposed. The treasures in that cottage shall belong to the ones who are capable of getting it!” Eversodden Sage announced after a short ponder.
Since Chu Kuangren’s abilities were unknown and their main goal of obtaining the treasures inside that cottage, Eversodden Sage did not wish to have any conflict with him for the time being.
“Very well.” Chu Kuangren nodded.
With that, everyone shifted their gazes again to the cottage that was located thirty meters away with a fiery passion in their eyes.
The cottage must contain an extremely valuable treasure since it had such a dense and overbearing Emperor’s Aura.
Would it be an Emperor Scripture? An Emperor Weapon? Or even some Great Emperor’s remains?
Everyone got more riled up the more they guessed what the treasures inside could be.
“The Emperor’s Aura within thirty meters of this cottage is on a completely different level to the one beyond it. If we want to go inside this cottage, we have to go through this thirty-meter distance of Emperor Aura. This will be an incredibly difficult task even for a Sage.”
Eversodden Sage remarked.
“It’s all up to our abilities and strengths then. This means that the treasures inside that cottage shall belong to whoever enters first,” a Sage uttered and took the first step into the thirty-meter distance of Emperor Aura, gradually heading towards that cottage.
The other Sages rushed in as well.
For a Sage, covering thousands of kilometers with a single step was a simple matter. Yet now, this crowd of Sages was faltering in their walk towards the hundred-meter domain!
There was no telling the amount of shock that would garner if word of that scene were to spread.
“Let’s go in as well, Kuangren.” The Black Heaven’s Third and Second Forefathers said as they too entered the domain of Emperor’s Aura.
Chu Kuangren had taken a step inside it as well, but the moment he did, an immeasurably horrifying surge of Emperor’s Aura instantly weighed down on him like a great mountain.
“It’s quite strong.”
Chu Kuangren’s expression darkened.
Anyone below the level of a Sage could never bear such Emperor’s Aura. Even a Sage would find it extremely difficult to bear, let alone an Honorable Supreme, who would be forced to the ground as soon as they got near it.
Not only that, but the closer they got to the cottage, the more terrifying the Emperor’s Aura became!
Slam!
After walking three meters forward, a Sage could no longer bear it anymore and was instantly slammed into the ground by the Emperor’s Aura.
Slam, slam, slam…
A few other Sages were forced onto the ground as well.
“It’s just too strong!”
“How can us Sages deal with an Emperor’s Aura like this?!”
“Too frightening!”
A few of the Sages who were slammed onto the ground looked towards the cottage with a horrified look. That was the might of the Emperor’s Aura!
Besides, that was an incomplete Emperor’s Aura at that, yet it was already enough to crush a Sage onto the ground.
At this moment, a white figure effortlessly walked past several Sages.
They all stared at the figure’s back, full of disbelief.
“How can he walk so easily when we’ve all been forced onto the ground?!”
“Godd*mn it, are we the Sage here?”
“By the heavens.”
That white figure was indeed Chu Kuangren!
He had immersed himself in the knowledge of an Emperor’s Scripture all year round, so his resistance towards the Emperor’s Aura was much greater compared to the other Sages.
Adding to that fact that he had gained several Emperor Techniques, which contained their own Emperor’s Aura, it enabled him to effortlessly walk through the thirty-meter domain of Emperor’s Aura. In a short time, he had left them behind in the dust, taking a strong lead ahead of everyone.
“Who the hell is this guy?”
Eversodden Sage and the other Outer Seas’ Sages were stunned speechless.
