Chapter 559: Battle of Emperor Weapons, The Transcendental Sword Ray
Spit, spit, spit…
Despite being close to the level of Sovereigns, the Wang Clan Matriarch, Balha, Sword Tribe Elder, and Bai Tianque were blasted away by the impact caused by the collision of Guqin Daoist Rhymes and their energies. The frightening blastwave had devastated everything within a few thousand kilometers behind them, reducing the entire area into a post-apocalyptic scene!
Chu Kuangren did not emerge unscathed either. Having been swept away by the blastwave, his Supreme Sage Physique was heavily under duress as blood began to drip from his lips.
Although he was heavily injured, Chu Kuangren’s Immortal Body healed his wounds almost instantly.
However, the entire event had consumed a generous amount of his spiritual power.
As such, Chu Kuangren activated the Gluttonous Devouring Technique and hastily absorbed the cultivator corpses around him.
However, a mere Sage Ruler Technique like the Gluttonous Devouring Technique was a tad outdated for Chu Kuangren’s current cultivation level.
He may have been able to refine countless cultivator corpses into spiritual powers and absorb them into his body, but the replenishment was not enough for him to return to his peak performance.
“Chu Kuangren, as strong as you may be, how long do you think you can survive against being outnumbered?”
The Sword Tribe Elder wiped the blood from his lips and snorted.
The remaining cultivators were staring deadly at Chu Kuangren too.
Never did they expect that Chu Kuangren would survive their combined attack. It was evident to them that none of them would survive against Chu Kuangren in a solo battle.
It was very remarkable for a sky-pride to reach such a level.
They would have never imagined such a person could exist.
“Heh, would you like to find out on your own?”
Chu Kuangren levitated into the air while still being surrounded by enemies. Even so, he still managed to maintain his calm and prideful poise as if the enemies before him were nothing.
The Wang Clan Matriarch’s face sank as she retrieved an item from her inventory.
It was a five-colored giant bell. Its structure was intricately designed with portraits of strange beasts carved onto its surface, and it seethed with the presence of a mythical Daoist Rhyme.
“It’s the Five Ways Mountain Bell!”
The spectators were shocked at the reveal.
The Five Ways Mountain Bell was one of the strongest possessions of the Wang clan. It was an Emperor Weapon that was closely tied to the Five Ways Dao.
The Emperor Weapons’ power was so magnificent that the Five Ways Light shone on the realm upon its appearance.
The Sword Tribe Elder took a deep breath and said, “Since the Wang Clan Matriarch has mobilized such resources, the Sword Tribe shouldn’t hide our strengths as well.”
With that, his palm began to glow with rays of golden light as a golden longsword that was beaming with powerful Emperor Aura emerged in his hands.
It was also an Emperor Weapon!
“Chu Kuangren, witness the power of the Sword Tribe’s Emperor Weapon, the Godly Golden Emperor Sword!”
A blinding aureate sword ray shot across as if it contained the power to ruin everything in the firmament!
At the same time, the toll of a bell echoed throughout the battlefield, causing the mountains in the vicinity to collapse. Streams of Five Ways Energy swarmed intimidatingly towards Chu Kuangren!
With abilities close to that of a Sovereign, the two cultivators drew forth a boundless amount of power from their Emperor Weapons!
To their surprise, Chu Kuangren was still unfazed. However, they now noticed that there was a black armor on Chu Kuangren’s body!
The armor was radiating an endless stream of ferocious qi and battle intent as it basked itself in an unwavering glory!
It was the Emperor Weapon, the Innate Ferocious Armor!
Then, Chu Kuangren summoned a golden longsword, in which the tip of it was seething with a boundless magnificence!
Some of the Sima clan’s cultivators in the crowd gasped at the sight of that weapon. “It’s the Emperor Weapon, Aureate Gatekeeper!”
In the battle of Heavenly Pool Mountain, the Sima Clan Leader had attempted to use this weapon to kill Chu Kuangren only to be killed himself. At last, the sword fell into the hands of Chu Kuangren.
Since then, Chu Kuangren had been storing this Emperor Weapon in his Sacred Emerald Sword Case.
The sword case had long refined the weapon to perfection.
“I shall let you see just what power can be drawn when I combine the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart with this Emperor Weapon.”
Chu Kuangren said.
In a split second, he activated all three Daoist Physique Transformations of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart and unleashed a frightening Sword-based Daoist Rhymes from his body!
The Daoist Rhymes fused with the Aureate Gatekeeper Sword as if it resonated with one another and unleashed a vivid sword chant that echoed into the heavens!
“Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!”
Chu Kuangren swung his sword and unleashed an all-too-familiar sword technique.
With the support of Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Weapon, Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, and Supreme Sage Foundation Level, he unleashed a sword ray that transcended most in terms of power!
No one had the right words to describe just how magnificent the sword ray was.
It felt as if the entire realm was about to be disintegrated under the single sword ray!
What an earth-shattering sword ray!
The energies of three Emperor Weapons collided in a manner that was far more terrifying than the previous stand-off.
However, it was obvious that the power of Chu Kuangren’s sword ray far surpassed that of the Wang Clan Matriarch and the Sword Tribe Elder’s attacks.
That was because Chu Kuangren had fully refined the Aureate Gatekeeper Sword, whose power was also further accentuated by the resonance with his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart.
On the contrary, the Sword Tribe Elder and Wang Clan Matriarch had never gained the acknowledgment of their Emperor Weapon and could not refine it. Therefore, they could not unleash the fullest potential of their weapons. Despite having two Emperor Weapons on their side, they were no match for Chu Kuangren and his supreme foundations!
The sword qi continued to charge magnificently towards the Wang Clan Matriarch and Sword Tribe Elder.
Despite their impressive cultivation levels, their end was foreseeable if the sword qi struck them.
At that crucial moment, Bai Tianque stepped forth and retrieved a rhombic crystal.
The crystal glowed with piercing white lights and formed a force field that surrounded the cultivators.
With a bang, the sword qi violently crashed into the protective force field.
The entire force field trembled under the pressure!
Bai Tianque’s face turned white. “What a terrifying sword qi!”
“Oh? A defensive Emperor Weapon?”
Chu Kuangren was mildly surprised. “It looks like you’re willing to mobilize your true capital to defeat me. I didn’t think you’d bring three Emperor Weapons to this battle— Wait, no, make that four!”
Sensing something was off, Chu Kuangren instinctively swung the Aureate Gatekeeper Sword to his side.
In a loud clunk, a fury of strength qi was released.
Chu Kuangren’s Aureate Gatekeeper Sword came in contact with a claret longsword that was radiating with frightening ripples of rage qi.
What was more, it was infused with the palpable presence of an Emperor Aura.
Four Emperor Weapons and four cultivators who were close to becoming Sovereigns!
It was a deadly line-up that was enough to kill an Emperor.
Yet, it was now used to destroy Chu Kuangren.
“This is ridiculous.”
“How could this even be true?”
The spectators were shocked. The event that was taking place before them was extremely rare in Emperor Road.
The swords clashed with such strength that Chu Kuangren and Balha were forced to retreat by the impact.
“Chu Kuangren, it looks like it’s true. You do have more than a couple of Emperor Weapons in your possession.”
Balha stared greedily at Chu Kuangren.
Springtime Lightning, Aureate Gatekeeper Sword, Innate Ferocious Armor…
Chu Kuangren had already pulled out three Emperor Weapons.
Who knew just how many more Emperor Weapons he had in his possession?
Such an amount of resources could already rival that of the weaker archaic orthodoxies.
