Chapter 417: Finally Reached The Black Heaven Sect’s Entrance, I Think It’s Possible
Right after the words “here you go” were heard, the vast tidal energy, produced by a pearl that the Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller activated, was sent back with full force.
Not only that, but it was now so much more powerful and violent. It turned into a terrifying tsunami and gushed towards the army.
Many Sages in the army, especially those from the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands could not help but turn pale before the might of that tsunami. After all, it was the same type of power that Chu Kuangren sent chaos across the entire ocean!
Such a power once destroyed a whole island.
Now, the same power was before them once again!
“D*mn it. With the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd in Chu Kuangren’s possession, we can’t even use torrential force to fight against him! This is very bad.”
“What a horrifying tsunami.”
“This surge of energy is too overpowering.”
Compared to the panicking great cultivator-army, the Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller was extremely calm. Although there was a stern look in his eyes when he saw the scene, he was far from panicking.
It was obvious that he expected Chu Kuangren to unleash a counterattack.
“Oceanic Soothing Pearl, activate!”
The Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller’s spiritual power surged as he channeled it into the light blue pearl levitating in the air.
A vast surge of energy radiated from the pearl, immediately halting the boundless incoming tsunami in place.
“Store!”
Then, the endless torrential force was sucked into the Oceanic Soothing Pearl.
Inside the Longevity Hall, Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised.
“Oh, this pearl is quite a remarkable Boundary Emperor Weapon. It can defeat the Cloud Dragon and even stop that tsunami.”
Chu Kuangren grinned
With a raise of his arm, the heavenly and earthly spiritual qi started to gather.
A purple sword shadow that emanated a domineering and razor-sharp qi suddenly struck out!
A surge of sword qi was launched thousands of kilometers towards the Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller!
The Great Chasm Dweller was shocked at the sudden incoming sword qi. While he absorbed the torrential force with the Oceanic Soothing Pearl, he channeled his spiritual power and unleashed a majestic palm attack towards the sword qi.
The two types of energy exploded upon collision!
The Great Chasm Dweller had overestimated his own strength.
Chu Kuangren’s sword qi was more lethal than he had expected. Adding to the fact that he did not use his full strength because he was controlling the Oceanic Soothing Pearl, the impact of the energy collision hit his body and blasted him off his feet.
As such, the spiritual power that was controlling the Oceanic Soothing Pearl was interrupted as well.
Although the Oceanic Soothing Pearl had absorbed a great amount of torrential force, it did not absorb all of them. The remaining torrential force crashed into the great cultivator-army, smashing their Fairy boats into pieces.
Exposed to the impact of the torrential force’s collision, countless cultivators blew up on the spot!
“Chu Kuangren!!”
The Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller gritted his teeth and glared towards the Black Heaven Sect.
He did not expect his opponent’s sword qi to be as powerful as Sage Ruler’s. After all, he was a person below the level of a Sage.
“You got careless.”
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang uttered from the Fairy boat, “Then again, you can’t be blamed. Having lived under the oceans all this while, everything you know about Chu Kuangren is from the words of others. You haven’t even seen him before, let alone fight him.”
The Great Chasm Dweller scoffed and replied, “His mastery over the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd is far greater than what I imagined. With that Emperor Weapon in his possession, most of my attacks will be ineffective against him. I can only hold him back at most.”
“Does that mean you’re now useless, then?”
The Acheron Manor Lord snorted.
The Great Chasm Dweller glared at him. “If not for the need to defeat Chu Kuangren, I would’ve ripped your tongue out first.”
“Oh, is that something to be scared of?”
The Acheron Manor Lord was anything but afraid.
How could a great prideful Sage Ruler be affected by provocation?
“Alright, settle down. Do you want Chu Kuangren to see us as a joke for fighting at a time like this?” Sage Ruler Zhang Guang snorted coldly.
“That’s right.”
Beside him, Master Daoist Yun Tao was also helping to mediate that dispute.
“Now that the Cloud Dragon has been defeated, I bet the threat of this formation has decreased drastically. Let’s continue moving forward,” Sage Ruler Zhang Guang said to Graylord Sage and others.
“Very well.”
Graylord Sage gritted his teeth.
As of now, the great cultivator-army had already lost more than half of its forces.
The path was covered with the corpses of countless cultivators.
If he could not build a good relationship with the unknown lands during this battle, their losses would be for nothing.
Everyone continued their journey.
Nevertheless, there were multiple formation techniques that blocked their path.
Some were meant to trap them while some were meant to kill...
Even without the Cloud Dragon around, the formation techniques were still incredibly terrifying.
However, with the help of a few Sage Rulers that stepped in and at the cost of hundreds of thousands of cultivators, the army finally reached the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain entrance. When they saw the mountain entrance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It was too difficult.
Just too difficult!
The damage they had suffered from the mega formation was just too terrifying.
With an army of millions and hundreds of Sages, including Great Sages, their force could even level the whole Ancient Battlefield Forbidden Area if they wished.
Yet, they were constantly suffering losses before the might of this mega formation.
Never had they imagined, or even dared to imagine, that they had to pay such an unfathomable price just to reach the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain entrance.
Who could possibly foresee Chu Kuangren deploying such a terrifying mega formation?
“This formation is indeed horrifying, but we’ve already broken through it. Let’s see what Chu Kuangren can do to us now!”
Graylord Sage scoffed.
“That’s right. Onwards to the Black Heaven Sect!”
“Let’s go.”
Just as everyone was about to enter the Black Heaven Sect.
A white figure suddenly walked out from the mountain entrance.
Upon seeing that person, the initially arrogant crowd quickly stopped in their steps. Some of them could not help but take a few steps backward as well.
The person was... Chu Kuangren!!
Armed with his ancient sword, he slowly walked out from the mountain entrance.
It was one man armed with a sword against the army of cultivators and Sages.
His spotless robes were white as snow, and his looks were remarkable. On the contrary, the great army before him was dirty and unkempt. It was a clear sign that the mega formation had tortured them despite their large numbers.
The contrast between the two sides was astonishing.
“Tsk tsk, are you guys okay? After all, you’re Sages. But why do all of you look like a beggar?”
Chu Kuangren shook his head and teased.
Everyone’s faces darkened at his words.
“Hmph. Chu Kuangren, you’re about to face impending death. That glib talking is meaningless!” Graylord Sage snorted and replied with a cold gaze.
“Impending death?” Chu Kuangren chuckled and shook his head. “I truly am curious as to who planted that idea in that skull of yours.”
“Are you alone, Chu Kuangren?”
Celestial Sage asked as he swept his gaze across the surroundings.
“What’s the matter? Are you afraid that there’ll be an ambush?”
“Hmph, what a joke. With just a few of you in the Black Heaven Sect, what can an ambush do to us?” Celestial Sage replied coldly.
He was correct. Despite suffering huge losses to arrive where they were, they still had hundreds of thousands of them. Not only that, but the ones who remained alive were among the most elite, with more than half of them a Battle Monarch too.
Even if Black Heaven Sect attacked them with their full force, it would still be insufficient.
“Stop thinking too highly of yourselves. You lot are not even worth my time to set up an ambush anyway. I am indeed alone. I was afraid that the fighting would destroy the buildings in Black Heaven Sect. Hence, I personally came out.”
“Do you think you can hold all of us back alone?”
“I think it’s possible.”
Then, Chu Kuangren took a step forward and his razor-sharp Sword-based Daoist Rhyme erupted!
At that moment, the surrounding mountains rumbled as if a divine sword had unsheathed!
