Chapter 422: The Boundary Emperors Appear, Chu Kuangren Cannot Be Killed, One-Half For Each Of Us
“If you still have any other tricks, now’s the time to show it!”
Chu Kuangren’s battle intent was now in full force. On the battlefield, he was now the epitome of a living God of War!
With a leap forward, the void and every single mountain in the vicinity trembled!
The six Sage Rulers’ faces immediately sank upon witnessing the shocking magnitude of his power.
The countless surrounding cultivators, who participated in this attack against the Black Heaven Sect, were horrified as well.
“What should we do now? Even the Sage Rulers can’t do anything about Chu Kuangren.”
“Has this operation failed?”
“Oh, dear……”
Graylord Sage, Solar Sage, Lunar Sage, and the other Sages were dead worried.
Half of their cultivators had perished within the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation. If this operation failed and they could not annihilate the Black Heaven Sect, they would be doomed. Their cultivators would have died for nothing!
“Well, if you don’t have any other moves, then die!”
Chu Kuangren leaped forward, preparing to attack.
At that moment, his spiritual thought sensed something incoming.
As Chu Kuangren looked into the distance, he saw a ray of light shattering all the mountains in its path as it approached the battlefield.
The presence of a devastating aura encroached upon the land.
The ray of light was not the only surprise.
From another direction, the deafening roar of a tsunami echoed throughout the realm. It was as if it was charging toward the battlefield.
Two terrifying, distinct power sources were coming in from two different directions!
Their strengths shook the entire realm!
“Chu Kuangren, how foolish of you to think we have nothing left!” Sage Ruler Zhang Guang laughed heartily when he sensed the presence of the powers.
The Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller was smiling menacingly too. “The Forefathers are here. Chu Kuangren, prepare to die!”
The rest of the Sage Rulers were surprised too.
“Woah, the forefathers of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Palace and the Bottomless Chasm have arrived.”
“What a rare sight! I didn’t think they were invited to this battle.”
The sources of the golden light ray and the tsunami roar soon arrived, but they remained hidden in the beams of the golden and blue aurora of lights respectively.
“Greetings, Forefathers.”
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang and the Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller bowed at the arrival of their forefathers.
The remaining Sage Rulers did not dare behave impolitely either.
“Greetings, seniors.”
The cultivator-army was shocked at the amount of respect the group of Sage Rulers granted to the newly arrived entities.
‘What in the heavens are those two entities?!’
That was everyone’s thought.
“Save the pleasantries.”
An elderly yet firm voice came from the golden light.
Then, the vague figure within the golden aurora looked to the blue aurora and said, “Brother Hai Ye, it’s been ten thousand years since we last met.”
“That’s right. I never would’ve thought our next reunion would be to rid a petty non-Sage pest. How ironic.”
From the blue aurora, the voice of a middle-aged man lamenting could be heard.
“Heh, this is no ordinary non-Sage. His talent is unprecedented, and he’s in possession of two Emperor Weapons. Not even a group of Sage Rulers could do him any harm.” The man within the golden aurora chuckled.
“So what if he’s unprecedented? Now that you and I are here, do you think he can still live?” The voice from the blue aurora spoke in a cold, menacing tone.
“Absolutely not.”
The newly arrived entities were exchanging a casual conversation, ignoring Chu Kuangren as if he was an insignificant pest that they could simply destroy at will.
The cultivators found their light-hearted attitudes surprising.
Six Sage Rulers could not keep Chu Kuangren under control, while the forefathers seemed to think of him as an insignificant inconvenience.
Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation and stared into the auroras.
“Oh, looks like we have two extremely old Boundary Emperors with us today.”
Apart from the Sage Rulers, every cultivator gasped in shock when the word ‘Boundary Emperor’ escaped Chu Kuangren’s mouth.
Boundary Emperors!
They were Boundary Emperors!
Who would have thought Boundary Emperors still existed in Firmament Stars?!
“Little brat, you managed to figure out our background. It looks like you’re not as simple as we thought,” the figure within the golden aurora said in surprise.
“Nevermind that, Brother Chang Kuang. Let’s just finish him off quickly. Besides, I have the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd to bring home.”
“Then, the other Emperor Weapon is mine.”
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang said with excitement.
Evidently, the Emperor Weapons were items of huge appeal for the Boundary Emperors as well.
“Little brat, given a few more years, you may have ascended into the same realm as ours. Such a shame that you’ve gotten on the wrong side of so many people. It seems like you have no choice but to die now,” Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang said.
Immediately, his surrounding spiritual power exploded, and a ray of palm qi broke out of the golden aurora. It packed a ravening form of Daoist Rhyme.
The power of that palm technique alone far surpassed all of the Sage Rulers.
A singular vital force locked onto Chu Kuangren, closing all possible routes of escape. As such, Chu Kuangren had no choice but to go head-to-head with the attack.
Chu Kuangren waved his Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd, unleashing the torrential force of the entire ocean onto the incoming palm qi.
The explosion of the collision blasted Chu Kuangren away. Its violent energy shattered every bone within Chu Kuangren’s arms, which almost caused the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd to fall out of his hand.
Even with the Innate Ferocious Armor, Chu Kuangren sustained significant injuries.
A Boundary Emperor’s attack was not to be underestimated!
As soon as Chu Kuangren was attacked, his Immortal Body got into action, rapidly recovering his limbs and body back to their original state.
“Hmm? An undying ability?” Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang noticed the peculiar reaction in Chu Kuangren’s body and was amused by it.
“There’s no such thing as an immortal physique in this world.”
Boundary Emperor Hai Ye said.
After that, he joined the action as well.
The surrounding Daoist Rhymes manifested into countless streams of water, forming a water sphere that entrapped Chu Kuangren within. The copious torrential force crushed every corner of Chu Kuangren’s body.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed like Chu Kuangren’s body was crushed into a chunk of meat paste. The overwhelming pain somehow caused Chu Kuangren to appear even more ferocious than before.
“This feeling is f*cking amazing!”
He roared as he activated the power of the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd to its limit. Only then did Chu Kuangren manage to break the water sphere apart.
“His body is indeed strange.”
Boundary Emperor Hai Ye was appalled.
Then, the Boundary Emperors each took their turns in attacking Chu Kuangren, causing his body to endure one wave of damage after another.
Each injury would typically kill the average person. However, Chu Kuangren managed to recover within a short period.
“Is this b*stard immortal?!”
A numb feeling spread across the Boundary Emperors’ scalps.
The Sages were even more dumbfounded.
“So is that his true trump card? An Immortal Body that could not be destroyed even by a Boundary Emperor?!”
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang gulped.
“This is strange. Let me catch him and study his body.”
Boundary Emperor Hai Ye said.
“I’m interested too,” Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang said and chuckled. If this research managed to yield some interesting findings, perhaps they could reap more benefits than any Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune could offer. After all, who did not wish to be immortal?
“Why not split him in half?”
Boundary Emperor Hai Ye said after a brief moment of silence.
“One-half for each of us? If we do as you say, I wonder if he’ll be able to survive this.”
When the Boundary Emperors were prepared to split Chu Kuangren into half, Chu Kuangren simply stood there, soaked in his blood. However, a grin appeared on his face as he peered upwards into the sky.
Chapter 423: My Trump Card Lies In The Sky, Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation, A Hundred Thousand Cultivators Grand Heavenly Tribulation Party
Chu Kuangren could not retaliate the Boundary Emperors’ attacks at all.
Not even when he had two Emperor Weapons with him.
No matter how strong his foundations were, his cultivation level was still below a Sage. There was only so much power he could draw from the Emperor Weapons. He was no match for the Boundary Emperors at all.
However, even in the face of such a hopeless situation, Chu Kuangren was laughing.
Every cultivator at the scene, including both the Boundary Emperors, was puzzled.
“Has this b*stard lost his mind?”
“Chu Kuangren can’t retaliate at the Boundary Emperors at all. Sure, he may have that weird immortal ability, but so what? It’s so easy for the Boundary Emperors to keep him under control.”
“Why is that b*stard laughing now?”
Everyone was confused.
Even the Sage Rulers felt that something was off.
“What’re you laughing about, little brat?”
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang sounded a tad angry. To him, Chu Kuangren’s laughter was nothing but a gesture of provocation towards them.
For a person below a Sage, being defeated in the hands of two Boundary Emperors was supposed to be an honor. Alas, not only could they not kill Chu Kuangren, but he was even laughing away! It humiliated the Boundary Emperors.
“Heh, I just find it hilarious how you failed to kill me despite having ganged up on me and even bringing forth the Boundary Emperors! It’s even funnier how you’re so ignorant about the impending deaths that await you all!”
Everyone turned pale at that last statement.
Impending deaths?!
What did he mean?!
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang and the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord immediately sent a group of cultivators to scout the surroundings. Unfortunately, apart from the cloud mist in the sky, they found nothing that was suspicious.
“Chu Kuangren, there’s no use playing pretend anymore.”
“That’s right. With the Boundary Emperors here, it doesn’t matter how many tricks you have left. You’re no match for the Boundary Emperors.”
The Sage Rulers snorted loudly.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren laughed even more in response to their rebuttal. “Boundary Emperors? Even the Boundary Emperors will not be spared by what’s about to come!”
“Nonsense!”
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang struck a palm out at Chu Kuangren.
The force instantly ruptured everything within Chu Kuangren’s body before it quickly recovered.
Chu Kuangren stood in his place with the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd in his hand, and his aura was still as strong as before. He stared deadly into all of his opponents on the battlefield.
The cultivators somehow felt a deep sense of terror in them.
“I bet you must be guessing what my ultimate trump card is. Is it my Emperor Technique, or is it this Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation? Perhaps, it’s the two Emperor Weapons I have in my possession, or maybe even this Immortal Body?”
“But wrong. You’re all wrong!”
The cultivators’ fears grew stronger as Chu Kuangren eliminated each possibility of what his trump card could be. It felt like a massacre was soon about to take place.
Each of Chu Kuangren’s strategies was already enough to strike a deep sense of fear within the Sages.
Emperor Techniques, formations, Emperor Weapons……
These had caused more than enough troubles for even the Sage Rulers themselves.
However, Chu Kuangren now revealed that those were not his ultimate trump card after all. Chu Kuangren had yet to unleash his ultimate weapon!
Some of the cultivators found it difficult to believe.
Wielding the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd, Chu Kuangren pointed it towards the sky, and the battle intent on his body surged. He laughed triumphantly and said, “My true trump card…… lies in the sky!”
Chu Kuangren released a burst of domineering aura up into the sky, where the Astonishing Cloud of Seas disbursed.
What greeted the cultivators’ eyes was a sky full of multicolored rays of light.
Then, a mortifying aura descended upon the battlefield, marking every single cultivator present in the battle.
This included the Boundary Emperors!
The cultivators stared into the sky in disbelief.
All they saw was the colorful clouds converging in the sky, forming into a whirlpool-like phenomenon that spanned thousands of kilometers across!
As for the terrifying aura that encroached upon them…… It was a Heavenly Dao Aura!
This was…… a heavenly tribulation!
“It’s a heavenly tribulation!”
“This is scary! Is this Chu Kuangren’s heavenly tribulation?!”
“Since when did this heavenly tribulation appear? How were we oblivious to it?!”
Everyone was panicking.
Judging from the magnitude of the aura and those peculiar colors, it was no ordinary heavenly tribulation. It must be Chu Kuangren’s heavenly tribulation!
The tribulation clouds spanned thousands of kilometers across and came in many colors.
However, they had never heard about such a form of heavenly tribulation!
What was going on?!
“It’s the Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation!”
Compared to the average cultivators, the Sage Rulers of the unknown lands had read their fair share of Emperor Scriptures, so they were familiar with such a phenomenon.
“D*mn it. Why is there a Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation? Legend has it that such a heavenly tribulation has only appeared a couple of times in history. How could Chu Kuangren make such a heavenly tribulation happen?!” The Grand Bottomless Chasm Dweller was horrified.
A heavenly tribulation was a cultivator’s test.
The stronger a cultivator, the more powerful his or her heavenly tribulation would be. Since ancient times, the Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation was the strongest there was for a cultivator to ascend into a Sage!
Cultivators who passed this deadly tribulation were some of the most feared cultivators in the history of Firmament Star, and they were destined to become an Emperor!
“Nevermind that it’s a Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation, but this area of tribulation is far too wide! What kind of aura is this?!”
“D*mn it. The Heavenly Dao Aura has even locked onto us. Since when did we become the candidates for the heavenly tribulation as well?!”
The cultivators and Sage Rulers were panicking.
“It’s all because of the mega formation!”
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang studied his surroundings and observed the dispersing mega formation. “The mega formation previously hid the Heavenly Dao Aura from us. And since we’ve fought with this b*stard, we’re now recognized as the ascension candidates for this heavenly tribulation!”
“In other words, the heavenly tribulation has long appeared in its place. And everyone who’s fought with or attacked Chu Kuangren is now part of this ascension!”
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang’s voice was already trembling uncontrollably as he spoke of that, let alone the rest of the cultivators.
All who had fought with or attacked Chu Kuangren were now part of the ascension?!
Gulp……
The Sage Rulers swallowed their saliva.
They looked around them only to descend further into fear.
How many people were there?
Several hundred thousands of cultivators!
Chu Kuangren had dragged hundreds of thousands of cultivators to ascend with him!
“No wonder the heavenly tribulation encompasses such a wide perimeter! Chu Kuangren has long planned it all, to use the mega formation to hide it from us and then battle all of us to include us in the ascension list! Crazy! He’s crazy! Can he survive the heavenly tribulation of a hundred thousand cultivators?!”
“That f*cker wants to take all of us down with him!”
The cultivators were mortified by Chu Kuangren’s insane strategy.
The more people participating in a heavenly tribulation, the stronger the test would be. Since ancient times, ascension candidates had always faced the tribulation alone in fear of invoking a devastating tribulation.
Chu Kuangren was an exception.
He had decided to enroll a hundred thousand other cultivators to ascend with him!
Such an event was unprecedented in history!
The cultivators glared at Chu Kuangren. Their eyes were burning with rage, hatred, shock, and an overwhelming sense of fear!
Chu Kuangren, who had just orchestrated the most shocking heavenly tribulation of all time, simply laughed at their reaction. “Whoever steps foot into the Black Heaven Sect today, be it Sage Rulers or Boundary Emperors…… you’ve reached a point of no return!”
“Come, everyone! Let’s enjoy this grand heavenly tribulation party!”
