Chapter 1695
1695 Your Sword Intent Is Acceptable, Willing To Pay Whatever It Costs
There were nine-hundred and ninety-ninth challenges in the Ancient Path. After comprehending the Invincible Self-empowerment Arch Gilded Intent, all those levels meant nothing to Chu Kuangren.
He no longer needed to stimulate himself by comprehending other Arch Gilded Intents.
Therefore, he did not stop at the checkpoints. Instead, he simply sped past each challenge, which stunned everyone.
At the nine-hundred and fiftieth challenge, Chi Longying was standing in front of a huge stone tablet while fighting against the Arch Gilded Intent in it.
!!
At that moment, a figure was slowly approaching him not far away.
It was Chu Kuangren.
Many people looked at him curiously. After all, although they were far away, they managed to see the scene in which Chu Kuangren slashed the heavenly tribulation with a sword attack.
“The Heavenly Sword is here.”
“I wonder if he can get through this challenge.”
“Chi Longying is a Prodigy who ranks twelfth on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, but he has been here for a day and hasn’t gotten through yet. It shows how difficult this challenge is.”
Everyone was engaged in their conversation, but Chu Kuangren ignored them.
He came to the stone tablet and looked at it. Soon, a surge of Arch Gilded Intent enveloped him.
The challenge had begun.
A swordsman, who was dressed in white and emanated a chilly freezing intent, emerged before Chu Kuangren.
He was a swordsman who cultivated the Frost Sword Dao.
“Kill him!”
Upon seeing Chu Kuangren, the swordsman in white immediately slashed forward with his sword. A chilly Frost Arch Gilded Intent soared through the skies.
“Do you think you deserve to use a sword before the Heavenly Sword?” Chu Kuangren shouted.
He pointed a sword hand sign forward, and his sword qi transformed into destructing flames. In the blink of an eye, it dispelled the boundless freezing qi and crushed the swordsman in white.
The next moment, the scene in front of him changed. His consciousness returned to reality, and without saying another word, Chu Kuangren entered the next challenge.
The scene astounded some cultivators around him.
“W-What’s going on?”
“I-I have no idea.”
What they saw was Chu Kuangren glancing at the stone tablet, and then an Arch Gilded Intent erupted from his body, smashing the Arch Gilded Intent on the stone tablet.
In an instant, Chu Kuangren got through the challenge.
They found the scene bizarre.
“I-Is this true?”
“Am I not dreaming?”
Everyone looked at each other in doubt and could not believe what they had just seen.
Chi Longying, who ranked twelfth on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, had been trapped in that challenge for a day, yet Chu Kuangren managed to break through it in just a split second.
The gap in their strength was like a moat, and they were on two different levels!
Boom!
While the crowd was engaged in a discussion, Chi Longying’s body released a scorching and domineering aura to shatter the Arch Gilded Intent that was wrapped around him.
On top of that, his aura had improved compared to earlier.
“Haha. The Arch Gilded Intent in this stone tablet is indeed extraordinary. After battling it, my Arch Gilded Intent is not far from achieving the Third Step.”
There were Seven Steps to every Arch Gilded Intent, and every step taken would result in a huge improvement.
Some Five Qi Arch Gilded Immortal cultivators might not necessarily possess the Third-step Arch Gilded Intent, so Chi Longying’s achievement as a Prodigy was amazing.
However, before Chi Longying could be smug for long, he heard the crowd’s discussion.
It was something about the Heavenly Sword being here and that he only took a split second to get through the challenge.
A split second?
How was that possible?!
Chi Longying could not believe it. Even though he deliberately extended the time to get through the challenge to hone his Arch Gilded Intent, there was no way someone got through it in a split second!
Not to mention him, but no one on the entire Ancient Path could do so.
Even Mo Wuji, who was in the top ten, was no exception.
How could the Heavenly Sword do it?
“I don’t believe it. Heavenly Sword, I must compete with you to see who is more powerful!”
Chi Longying was fired up, and an intense battle intent emerged in his eyes.
At the nine-hundred and eightieth challenge, Chu Kuangren arrived at a stone tablet again.
There were two notable Prodigies here, namely Mo Wuji, who ranked ninth on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, and Luo Xue, who ranked eleventh on the leaderboard.
Luo Xue was undergoing a challenge, and Mo Wuji was waiting by the side.
Suddenly, Mo Wuji noticed something. He looked at Chu Kuangren with a glint flashing in his eyes. “Oh, he has come.”
Speaking of that, he had a feud with Chu Kuangren.
After all, he was the most powerful Prodigy in the Dao King Tribe, and Chu Kuangren had killed Mo Bufan, another Prodigy in the Dao King Tribe.
“Although I look down on Mo Bufan, he’s a member of my Dao King Tribe. Heavenly Sword, how dare you show up in front of me after killing him?” Mo Wuji approached Chu Kuangren and looked at the latter with murderous intent in his eyes.
Chu Kuangren glanced at him indifferently. “Do you wish to challenge the Heavens?”
“You claim yourself to be the Heavens? Heavenly Sword, you’re too arrogant.”
As Mo Wuji narrowed his eyes, a powerful and domineering aura erupted from his body ad gushed toward Chu Kuangren.
“Having the confidence to be arrogant comes from one’s strength. The Heavenly Sword’s ability is beyond your imagination.”
Chu Kuangren stood with hands behind his back, and his chilly sword aura gushed out!
The moment the two invisible auras collided, the surrounding ground sank, while the clouds of thousands of kilometers tumbled away.
“Do you have what it takes to be listed in the top ten of the Heavenly God Leaderboard?”
“Even a Heavenly God must submit to the Heavenly Sword!”
“If so, I would really like to taste your power.”
Soon, Mo Wuji’s Immortal’s Core surged. As he raised his hands, he sucked the surrounding spiritual qi toward him and gradually turned them into a huge palm in the sky.
“Stop it.”
At that moment, a low grunt sounded.
Having passed the challenge, Luo Xue approached Chu Kuangren with a look of fanaticism and then said with a fist salute, “Heavenly Sword, greetings from Luo Xue of the Luo King Tribe.”
Mo Wuji’s expression darkened as he stood at the side.
Luo Xue, who ranked tenth on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, was a cold beauty. She had never shown interest in any man, but now, she was looking at Chu Kuangren fanatically, like a little girl meeting her idol.
That made Mo Wuji, who had always been in love with her but never received any response, furious.
“Luo Xue, your sword intent is decent.”
Chu Kuangren could sense Luo Xue’s sharp sword intent that was extremely powerful among the younger generation.
Her sword intent was more powerful than the purple-clothed young man he met in the Spiritual Sword Ancestral Land when he first came to the Central Heaven Universe. If he must say, she possessed the most powerful Sword Dao among the younger generation that he had seen.
“You flatter me.”
Luo Xue would have attacked with her sword if someone else said that to her.
‘Decent?’
Even the late Chen Feihu, who ranked first in Sword Dao among the younger generation in the past, dared not say something like that in front of her.
After all, he had only managed to gain a great reputation because she had been in closed-door meditation in the tribe all year round and rarely made a move.
However, Chu Kuangren was the legendary Heavenly Sword who slashed Heavens open with a sword. Hence, his words made her feel flattered.
“The Heavenly Sword slashing the Heavens open was astounding. May I ask for a favor? Can you teach me the sword technique, Heavenly Sword? I’m willing to pay whatever it costs,” Luo Xue said with crazy eyes.
Meanwhile, Mo Wuji beside her could no longer sit still. ‘Willing to pay whatever it costs?’
