Chapter 510: The Masters Of The Four Orthodoxies, Can Still Reign Supreme
The Snow Lotus began to tremble within the Heavenly Pool.
A mysterious ripple appeared as large amounts of freezing qi swept out from the Heavenly Pool.
Quite a large amount of Heavenly Pool energy was merged within it as well. Although everyone else did not dare to go near the sword mark, they were still able to gather some Heavenly Pool energy from the side. Hence, their trip here was not in vain.
The twelve petals of the Snow Lotus gradually opened, and Shang Qingxue inside slowly opened her eyes. She had now completely absorbed the Frosted-Core Snow Lotus's energy and even fully refined it as her own. As for her Deep Freeze Physique, it had obtained an improvement it had never before. It had been upgraded to a Supreme Daoist Physique.
At this point, a new Supreme Daoist Physique was added to the Three-Thousand Daoist Physiques.
Shang Qingxue walked out from the Snow Lotus at a light pace. The moment she stepped on the surface of the Heavenly Pool, the pool water, which had never frozen before, was instantly turned to ice.
The Sages could not help but gasp at the scene.
"What a terrifying freezing qi."
"This woman is able to freeze the Heavenly Pool's water."
Amidst everyone's shock, Shang Qingxue had arrived before Chu Kuangren.
She bowed and said, "Sect Leader, I've completely refined the Snow Lotus. I feel that my strength has improved a lot as well."
"Mm, excellent."
Chu Kuangren checked her status through his Eye of Revelation.
He realized that she was now as powerful as a Seventh-Step Sage Ruler and the strongest among his Daoists.
Then again, that was how strong the Daoists were before they entered the Emperor Road.
If Nangong Huang and the others had met similar opportunities as well, their combat strengths may have improved significantly as well.
Shang Qingxue looked at the Snow Lotus beside her. With a thought from her mind, that lotus shrank and turned into a ball of white light, which entered through the palm of her hand.
A Snow Lotus mark then appeared at the back of her hand.
"This Frosted-Core Snow Lotus is an extremely rare treasure. Not only can it upgrade your Daoist Physique, but it's also a frost-attribute treasure that can increase the power of your freezing qi. You can use it for both offense and defense. Hence in your case, it's no weaker than an Emperor Weapon." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
"Yeah." Shang Qingxue was also very delighted. This Opportunity of Fortune was just amazing.
"Sect Leader, shall we leave this area now?"
Shang Qingxue looked around and said. Since she had taken the most valuable treasure in the Heavenly Pool, the remaining treasures might not be that interesting to someone like Chu Kuangren.
"There's no rush."
Chu Kuangren chuckled. "We'll stay a while longer."
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he looked towards the clouds in the distance. "They're here."
In the distance, a blizzard started to grow more violent, and several rays of light approached, their terrifying aura instantly engulfing the whole Heavenly Pool Mountain.
That was the aura of a Boundary Emperor.
Moreover, it was not an ordinary Boundary Emperor's aura.
That kind of aura could belong to the most top-notch Boundary Emperor.
"Seeing that you're not leaving, are you waiting for us perchance?"
A cold voice filled with scary killing intent came from the clouds.
Several figures then gradually descended from the skies.
The moment they landed on the ground, their domineering aura surged out like a crashing tide. Even the whole Heavenly Pool quaked uncontrollably.
"The leader of the Sima clan!"
"And that hulking person as well. Seeing he has that overpowering aura on him, he's definitely the Snow Lion Tribe Leader."
"The Snow Spider Tribe Leader and Gu Clan Leader are here as well. By the heavens, the masters of several past ancient orthodoxies have appeared at the Heavenly Pool"
"Are they here to defeat that young man?"
"This lineup of people is just terrifying. What did that young man do to cause this??"
The Sages knew that a great battle was going to happen there, and everyone instinctively moved several kilometers back.
They looked towards the Heavenly Pool curiously.
"How dare an outside world sky-pride behave so arrogantly? Undoubtedly, I'll have to admit that you're a fool for doing what you did."
A middle-aged man with a green sword strapped to his waist looked at Chu Kuangren and uttered. He was the Sima Clan Leader.
He was also one of the most well-known sword cultivators in the Emperor Road.
"Tell us, how do you want to die?"
The one that spoke right after was the hulking figure beside the Sima Clan Leader. That person had lush white fur all over him while an overbearing qi emanated from his eyes.
That person was the Snow Lion Tribe Leader.
"I wish to trap him within my spider web and slowly suck away his blood essence. Seeing that he's such a good-looking man, I believe his blood essence must taste very delicious."
A gorgeous lady licked her lips with a heated passion in her eyes.
She was the Snow Spider Tribe Leader, who liked sucking the blood essences of handsome-looking men the most. Despite having her fair share of beautiful men, this was the first time she had encountered someone of Chu Kuangren's caliber. Putting aside his appearance, it was his otherworldly demeanor that attracted her the most.
Besides the Snow Spider Tribe Leader, a middle-aged man who was armed with a black spear was quiet.
However, his gaze towards Chu Kuangren was akin to staring at a dead man.
That person was the Gu Clan Leader.
With the arrival of the leaders of the four past ancient orthodoxies, a horrifying Boundary Emperor aura swept throughout the whole area.
There were only less than a handful of people who could face such a terrifying lineup of cultivators in the Emperor Road, let alone amongst the younger generation of sky-prides.
Even an outlaw sky-pride could not escape such a battle unscathed.
"Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
Shang Qingxue looked at the four Boundary Emperors before them with a stern gaze.
Although she had improved tremendously after obtaining the Frosted-Core Snow Lotus, she was still not strong enough before a Boundary Emperor.
Let alone a few of the most top-notch Boundary Emperors.
"Don't worry. They're just four Boundary Emperors. It's no big deal." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Previously, when the Demonic Realm invaded the Firmament Star, Chu Kuangren had already single-handedly battled the clones of the Seven Great Demonic Emperors. As such, a mere few Boundary Emperors were nothing.
Chu Kuangren was invincible in the outside world.
Yet in the Emperor Road, he would still reign supreme!
That was his Path of Invincibility!
"No big deal?"
The few Boundary Emperors before Chu Kuangren frowned at his calm behavior, visibly very displeased.
"Let's see whether you have the strength to match what you just said."
The Sima Clan Leader snorted and was first to attack. He unleashed a slash with the longsword at his waist, drawing a silvery-white sword ray that spanned several kilometers long!
Along with the power of a blizzard, the sword ray froze everything in its path!
Most of the Heavenly Pool was frozen due to the chilling sword qi of that attack.
Upon seeing that, Chu Kuangren's Descendant Self Sword unsheathed.
Then, he gently slashed it into the void and unleashed a stream of purple sword ray that was surrounded by Daoist Rhymes, overpowering the Sima Clan Leader's attack.
Amidst the collision, the Sima Clan Leader was forced back hundreds of meters. He looked a little surprised. "This surge of energy, this aura... You have the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart!"
"Oh, you can recognize the power from my Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart even though I'm not using any of its transformations. You have a good eye."
"In the past, I once sparred with the Sword Tribe's Daoist. He, too, possessed the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart. I can't believe two wielders of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart have appeared in this era!"
The Sima Clan Leader's gaze was stern.
The Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart could greatly improve a cultivator's proficiency in sword Dao and suppress the power of other sword cultivators.
Couple the Supreme Daoist Physique with Chu Kuangren's terrifying strength, the Sima Clan Leader had a feeling that this battle was going to be extremely challenging.
Moreover, he could sense that Chu Kuangren's Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart was more terrifying compared to Sword Tribe's Daoist's!
At the very least, he did not feel such great pressure when he fought with the Sword Daoist in the past.
"Hmph. So what if he has the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart? He has offended all four of our orthodoxies today! There's no way he's leaving this area alive!!"
