Chapter 619: Strongest Entities of the Emperor Road, The Power of Nine Strains of Emperor Qi
In one move, a Sovereign's arm was severed, and he was sent flying out of the battlefield!
In one move, a Sovereign had been heavily injured!
In one move, all of the Sovereigns were left incredulous!
"Didn't I tell you to come at me together? But you didn't believe me." Chu Kuangren retracted his hand and said indifferently.
The Holy Light's Chief Sovereign and Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign stared at each other with horror written all over their faces.
From Chu Kuangren's most recent fist technique, they could tell that his abilities had grown even stronger now!
"It has only been a few days since we last saw him. Have his abilities grown again?"
"D*mn it! This brat's surely a lunatic."
The two Chief Sovereigns gulped helplessly.
After all, the Sovereigns may sometimes spend several millennia training only to yield minimal results. However, Chu Kuangren seemed to be achieving a breakthrough once every couple of days.
Who would not f*cking question it?!
That was way too terrifying.
The observers who stood outside the perimeters of the Seven Emotions Sect were bewildered as well. Chu Kuangren's fist technique was such a horrifying sight to behold.
The younger sky-prides, especially, were puzzled.
Did that guy just wound a Sovereign with one fist technique?!
Yet, they were told that he was a sky-pride, just like them?!
Stop messing around!
What sky-pride could possibly attain such a terrifying level of power?!
"How did that chap manage to become so intimidating?!"
"That's a sky-pride? You mean he's a sky-pride just like me? There must be a mistake here. That guy could slay me using just his toe."
"What a monster..."
After a brief moment of silence, the cultivators descended into a heated discussion.
Chatters and remarks were made across the crowd.
Some of the outlawed sky-prides could only stare at Chu Kuangren as they descended into utter hopelessness. How were they supposed to compete with a person like him for the Emperor's Throne?!
"Please let him die today. Otherwise, we stand no chance at all!" one of the sky-prides murmured.
The rest of the outlawed sky-prides shared similar thoughts.
With Chu Kuangren alive, they would not stand a chance at the Emperor's Throne.
...
"He's strong!"
The Tempest Sword Sovereign was the first to recover from his shock.
Chu Kuangren's fist technique had left a lasting fear on him. Refusing to hesitate any further, he immediately drew the ancient longsword that was strapped to his waist!
With the long sword out, the Tempest Sword Sovereign released an unforgiving sword ray towards Chu Kuangren.
"Do you think your sword techniques are superior to mine?"
Chu Kuangren chuckled lightly.
With his Self Descendant Sword out, a purple sword ray shot across the firmament.
In a blink of an eye, Chu Kuangren and the Tempest Sword Sovereign's sword ray and Sword-based Daoist Rhymes imploded, causing the realm to shudder violently under its force.
The expression on Tempest Sword Sovereign changed.
He could sense that his Sword-based Daoist Rhymes had been suppressed!
"It's the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart!"
"His Dao is extremely close to its ultimate stage. Coupled with his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, his power has managed to suppress my Ultimate Dao!"
The Tempest Sword Sovereign looked incredibly shaken.
As their sword rays intersected, their swords clanked incessantly in the air, causing their sword qi to ravage across the battlefield.
"Skyward Sword Tempest!"
The Tempest Sword Sovereign roared and unleashed his self-invented Boundary Emperor Technique.
In a loud blast, the winds and clouds converged, and a sword ray shot towards Chu Kuangren.
"Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!"
Chu Kuangren muttered.
A boundless sword ray poured like a violent torrent, carrying with it a cataclysmic aura that ripped right into the Tempest Sword Sovereign's sword qi. In the end, it smashed the Tempest Sword Sovereign into a wall almost a hundred meters away.
"Divine Cosmos Illumination!"
"Dark Cataclysmic Current!"
At that instance, Chu Kuangren was ambushed by the Chief Sovereigns of both the Holy Light and Dark Shadow Religions, each of them unleashing their strongest techniques.
As the contrasting energies of light and dark erupted, they formed two terrifying energy streams that gushed toward Chu Kuangren.
The rest of the Sovereigns did not hold back either.
After witnessing Chu Kuangren wound another Sovereign in one move, they had long abandoned their thoughts of fighting Chu Kuangren alone.
They now only had one objective in mind!
To annihilate this outlier together!
"That's more like it."
Chu Kuangren laughed triumphantly. "Come. Let's see just how far the strongest entities of Emperor Road could push me!"
Along with a petrifying eruption of Daoist Rhymes, Chu Kuangren's four Supreme Daoist Physiques and emperor qi manifested through his body.
An Almighty Avatar was conjured in the air!
The altar spanned several thousand meters tall as it glowed with majestic arrays of light and various forms of Daoist Rhymes hovered around it. When the avatar unleashed a magnificent fist technique, the powers of Transcendental Might, murderous ferocious qi, relentless sword qi, and the Power of Light converged together.
Unable to withstand the tremendous amount of energy, the fabrics of this realm began to shatter apart as spiderweb-like cracks began to form all over the space.
The Holy Light and Dark Shadow energies were the first to hit the Almighty Avatar's fist strength, but they immediately disintegrated upon contact!
The techniques that the other Sovereigns unleashed were similarly dissolved as well.
The terrifying impact swept more than a dozen Sovereigns away.
"What power is this?! Isn't it just ridiculous?!"
"Oh heavens, what kind of avatar is that? How does it contain the auras from so many Supreme Daoist Physiques?!"
"How could such a terrifying creature exist in this generation?!"
The Sovereigns were utterly intimidated by the power of the Almighty Avatar.
While they had witnessed many Supreme Daoist Physiques throughout their lifetime, they had never seen the convergence of so many Supreme Daoist Physiques' powers in a single person before. In fact, they had never even heard of such an occurrence!
"If we don't kill him off today, my people will never have peace!"
The Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign exclaimed determinedly.
He leaped into the air and positioned himself above Chu Kuangren. As the surrounding spiritual powers swarmed incessantly towards him, the Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign sang devoutly, "The God of Darkness is with me, Dark Cataclysmic Current!"
A wave of even more terrifying darkness befell as the light was drained out of the sky. Everything within a ten thousand kilometers radius had descended into total darkness.
The Holy Light's Chief Sovereign refused to bow down either. He levitated into the air and sang from his heart, "The God of Light is with me, Divine Cosmos Illumination!"
Amidst the total darkness came a ray of glorious light that spread incessantly within the void, forming a clear line that vividly separated the darkness from the light.
They were the same techniques yet infused with an even remarkable display of power!
Chu Kuangren no longer held back his Emperor qi as all of the nine strands erupted, causing his body to fume with an even terrifying form of Emperor's Aura.
The Almighty Altar grew even stronger, discharging another fist technique that once again destroyed the dual-energy streams!
The Chief Sovereigns immediately spat a mouthful of fresh blood as they were blasted away by the aftermath.
They stared at Chu Kuangren in terror.
"That was nine strands of Emperor qi! He has managed to cultivate nine strands of Emperor qi!"
"How's that possible?!"
Nine strands were the most number of Emperor qi anyone below the level of an Emperor could cultivate.
Some of the Sovereigns had even taken up to a hundred thousand years to achieve the same feat.
Yet, Chu Kuangren, a young sky-pride, had managed to attain that remarkable achievement.
Although the Sovereigns were shocked by Chu Kuangren's cultivation, they did not hesitate to attack after the Chief Sovereigns.
"Great Principle Frost Palm!"
The Qin clan's Sovereign grunted and summoned a palm technique, unleashing a storm of frost qi and Emperor qi.
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren conjured the Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements and swung it outwards. As a result, the frost palm qi shattered, and the remaining sword qi blasted the Sovereign away.
Lines of runes suddenly formed in the air.
Those were the runes summoned by Xiao Fuhuang of the Runic Lands. Each rune was seething with a magnificent amount of energy.
Chu Kuangren mobilized his spiritual thoughts and summoned a Rescindment Rune in the air. Its mysterious power instantly shattered the runes that were summoned by Xiao Fuhuang.
The Sovereign of the demonic tribe released a cloud of demonic qi that transformed into a million demonic spirits.
As such, Chu Kuangren cast the Tathagata Rebirth Mantra, and his Buddhist Light shone over the battlefield, exorcising the demonic spirits into ashes.
Apart from the various Daoist Rhymes and the Almighty Avatar, Chu Kuangren's proficiency in a myriad of techniques had caused the observers to lose track of his list of abilities.
