Chapter 548: Is That All You Are Capable Of? Chu Kuangren's Disappointment
"Demonic Eye of Oblivion!!"
Touheng, the demon outlawed sky-pride, activated his strongest kill skill whilst the other outlawed sky-prides kept Chu Kuangren occupied.
The diabolical demonic eye appeared on top of the sky, and appalling demonic rays blasted down from above, locking down at Chu Kuangren. Wherever it passed by, fabrics of space were shattered and living beings were pulverized
Despite facing such power, Chu Kuangren remained calm as always, not showing any sense of fear.
All of a sudden, incredibly ruthless ferocious qi fluctuations erupted from his body and shot up into the sky. Then, it turned into a frightening avatar.
It was Chu Kuangren's Divine Ferocious Avatar!
He had improved his Infallible Tormented Physique to the perfected form long ago. Adding that to his Supreme Sage body, the sheer poise that he displayed was extremely intimidating!
A loud battle cry reverberated in the realm, and its bone-piercing battle intent shook the entire land.
The Divine Ferocious Avatar raised his arm and smacked toward the demonic ray in the sky. Tremendous ferocious qi battle intent amassed into a qi beam.
With a bang, the ferocious qi beam and demonic ray clashed violently. The entire Spiritual Qi Leyline was sent into a shockwave that it had never experienced before.
As dreadful blast waves spread out, even the outlawed sky-prides were forced to use their spiritual power to protect themselves.
Eventually, the ferocious qi ripped the demonic ray apart, and then it lambasted onto that purple demonic eye up in the sky. As a loud buzzing sound rang out, the demonic eye was obliterated!!
The Divine Ferocious Avatar slowly faded out of existence.
In the same spot stood Chu Kuangren, who was breathing at a normal pace. His expression was as calm as usual, as if none of his energy was spent.
The sheer terror of his Foundation Level had already reached immeasurable heights.
Gulp...
Countless people gulped nervously, in awe as to the unbelievable sight that they had just witnessed.
"Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart and Infallible Tormented Physique... Two Supreme Daoist Physiques?"
"Adding that to the Foundation Level that comes with his Supreme Sage body, the raw strength that his physical body can produce is just... monstrous!"
Even the outlawed sky-prides shuddered at the thought of that.
The power that Chu Kuangren showcased almost exceeded the upper limit of what they imagined a sky-pride could do.
"Is that all you so-called outlawed sky-prides are capable of?"
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly. There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.
He felt that he had already lowered his expectations by a lot. He did not wish for someone among his peers who could make him give his all, but they should at least offer someone whom he could treat seriously!
Yet in the end, all he got was Sword Daoist, Bai Hongyu, archaic beast Nine-Headed Snakelet...
These outlawed sky-prides, who were at the pinnacle of sky-prides, could not even get him to move more than a finger, let alone get him to use his full strength.
Noticing the disappointment in Chu Kuangren's tone, Sword Daoist and the few other sky-prides could not help but frown. They felt extremely frustrated.
Bam...
Just then, a figure swooped down from the sky above, creating a massive crater on the ground.
That figure was Jiu Yan.
He laid motionless inside the deep crater, looking miserable. There were bloodied sword qi cuts all over his body.
While standing atop the crater was Chu Kuangren's sword qi clone. The clone looked cold and emotionless, much like a divine entity staring down at a mere mortal.
"D*mn you. D*mn you!!
In his eyes were extremely fury, bitter resentment, and utter disbelief at the state he was put in.
He was not just anybody. He was an outlawed sky-pride amongst the archaic ancient wild beast race!!
His combat strength was ranked among the highest of all outlawed sky-prides, and yet, he was beaten by one of Chu Kuangren's mere sword qi clones. That was just way too staggering for him!
Those people who realized this fact felt relieved that they were not the ones who had to bear his brunt. Nevertheless, they were even more fearful of Chu Kuangren now.
"Is that guy really just a sky-pride?"
"Could he be a disguise of one of those immortal freaks?!"
"No way. Those old freaks would never attack sky-prides."
"But such combat strength... not even Qin Tianchen, that so-called reincarnation of a Great Emperor from the Qin clan has such power, does he?"
"Sword Dao, runic Dao, Buddhist Dao... What kind of Dao does he specialize in, really?"
All the sky-prides were engaged in a heated discussion, all the while gazing at that white-robed figure. They felt like they would never forget today's event for the rest of their lives.
One person alone could overpower five outlawed sky-prides so effortlessly. His brilliance was unmatched.
"Let me repeat it again. I'm calling dibs on the treasures along this whole leyline!"
"Now, do any of you still have any objections?"
Chu Kuangren swept a glance across everybody at the scene. The chilling domineering aura that he emitted was so overwhelming that the crowd was almost choked breathless.
Hypothetically speaking, if these outlawed sky-prides were two levels above them, Chu Kuangren would then be two levels above the outlawed sky-prides.
If these people had no guts to enrage outlawed sky-prides, then what more Chu Kuangren?
"Let's just retreat."
"This guy's power has already surpassed anyone's expectation. He's not someone whom you, me, or anyone in this room can fight against."
"These treasures may be great, but we need to be alive to enjoy them in the first place."
The crowd exchanged glances, and they immediately stepped out of the Spiritual Qi Leyline obediently.
In a short while, the lively Spiritual Qi Leyline became empty and quiet once more as nobody dared to step foot inside.
Following that, Chu Kuangren looked toward Bai Hongyu, Wang Quan, and the few other sky-prides who were standing not far away from him.
"What's the matter? Do you guys want to continue battling?"
"Chu Kuangren, now that you've conquered this whole leyline, aren't you afraid that you'll be surrounded and slaughtered by all those orthodoxies of Emperor Road once you step out of the Enchanted Forest Realm?"
Wang Quan remarked with an ice-cold gaze.
Chu Kuangren chuckled when he heard that. "Why? Just because you can't beat me on your own, you're now using those orthodoxies behind you to intimidate me? Is this how you outlawed sky-prides usually behave?"
Getting surrounded and then slaughtered?
Chu Kuangren was already familiar with such a threat.
Back in Firmament Star, he had long since been used to being attacked by groups. Even if they do it again here, would it be a problem?
Based on what he gathered, the real powerhouses on Emperor Road were those powerful Sovereigns.
However, because those Sovereigns had lived for far too long, they had been restricted by some sort of law of nature in the Emperor Road. Hence, they did not have the freedom to cause harm to sky-prides as they wished. Otherwise, their course into the Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five state would be accelerated. As such, Chu Kuangren was bold enough to claim this whole leyline as his own.
"Chu Kuangren, don't burn bridges. Do you really have to be so extreme?"
Sword Daoist warned him sternly.
"Is there still a bridge between me and the Sword Tribe?"
Chu Kuangren felt even more amused at the Sword Daoist's words.
He did not even bother explaining further before he immediately lifted his hand. An incredibly terrifying Sword-based Daoist Rhyme began to emanate from his body. "Consider this my last warning. Leave, or die!"
The group of sky-prides stared at each other blankly. In the end, they were left with no choice but to surrender and leave.
Seeing the treasures that filled the land, they were very reluctant. However, there was nothing they could do about it.
When the crowd had dissipated, Chu Kuangren mobilized his spiritual thought and shrouded it over a good half of the leyline. All sorts of treasures were seen flying in his direction as if a huge invisible hand was grabbing them.
Chu Kuangren opened his Yin and Yang Ring, and countless treasures flew into it like moths drawn to fire.
There were all kinds of herbs and spiritual fruits, and the sight of it made the crowd stare and gulp enviously.
"Look! That's an Emperor-grade herb, the Divine Spiritual Dragonwood. Rumor has it that this herb can greatly increase a cultivator's spiritual power capacity."
"Not just the Divine Spiritual Dragonwood, but there are also the Mica Gemstone, Heavenly Monarch Herb, and many more... My gosh, even the poorest quality among them are Boundary Emperor-grade treasures."
"Now they have all been collected by one person. Good grief. This guy is just way too scary now isn't it?"
Every sky-pride looked on helplessly as the countless treasures flew into Chu Kuangren's Yin and Yang Ring. They could not help but feel an agonizing heartache.
There were so many herbs there. Even if having a small portion of it would turn their fortunes around.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren did not look like he was going to give them a cut of any of that.
His action was akin to gobbling down every morsel of the food, leaving not even the gravy for the others to taste.
