The Grand Melodic Void instantly shattered the Eversodden Sageâs Daoist Rhyme. Before everyone could recover from their shock, Chu Kuangren slowly walked up to his opponent, where he unsheathed the longsword at his waist and beheaded that Great Sage!
Every Outer Seasâ Sage was as appalled by what just happened.
âThatâs a Great Sage weâre talking about here, and heâs killing one as he likes?â
âHis level of strength is just too terrifying!â
Chu Kuangren stood with a sword in one hand and a guqin in another. He said indifferently, âNow, is there anyone else whoâd like my treasures?â
He asked politely.
However, no one dared to speak a single word.
Every one of them looked at Chu Kuangren as if he was an evil Ashura.
âIf heâs capable of killing a Great Sage, then I guess no one here can be his match. So shall we attack him together then?â
âStop joking, whether we can kill Chu Kuangren is another matter, but there will definitely be casualties. Besides, the Four Domainsâ Sages are here as well.â
For a moment, none of the Outer Seasâ Sages dared to take action.
âOh, then I guess the treasures are mine then.â
Chu Kuangren chuckled, raised his hand, and unleashed a horrifying surge of absorption energy to suck the Eversodden Sageâs corpse into the Avarice Dimension for refining.
For the past few days, he had encountered quite many Sages and killed several of them as well. Now that he had the Great Sageâs corpse too, he had refined so much blood and flesh essences that he was showing signs of breaking through his cultivation level.
He was one step away from becoming an Honorable Supreme.
âThird Forefather, Second Forefather, shall we leave now?â
Chu Kuangren asked the two Black Heaven Sect forefathers.
The two of them nodded.
With that, the three of them left.
The remaining Sages looked at each other. Since there was nothing valuable left here, they might as well explore somewhere else.
The rest of them continued to explore the island.
Chu Kuangren and his two forefathers also went on a looting spree around the island. With the Treasure Locating Skill, he was much more efficient in obtaining treasures than the other Sages.
Both the Black Heavenâs Third and Second Forefathers were secretly amazed and stunned as they followed him.
They felt as if Chu Kuangren was walking around in his garden since he knew the exact location of where each treasure was hidden.
While others went through so much trouble just to obtain a single Sage-Grade herb, Chu Kuangren had already found piles of them. They simply could not compare themselves to him!
Along with the Emperor-Grade items from the cottage earlier, Chu Kuangren had taken about seventy to eighty percent of all the most valuable treasures on this unnamed island.
âItâs almost time for us to leave.â
Chu Kuangren said.
The Third and Second Forefathers nodded.
At that time.
The sky suddenly went dark.
Suddenly, there were several Fairy Boats in not only the air but there were a bunch of strange-looking people on the ocean as well.
These people had parts of their bodies covered with scales. There were so many of them that the ocean surface became densely packed.
In a short time, the whole unnamed island was surrounded by them.
âThere people are⦠the Scaled Tribe!â
Chu Kuangren frowned. He had heard of a group who lived under the ocean before. Known as the Scaled Tribe, their people were the overlord masters of the seas.
âThatâs right, itâs the Scaled Tribe. Why are they here?â
The Black Heavenâs Second Forefather was frowning as well.
âIâm the Scaled Tribeâs Young Master, Bei Mingsan, seeking to meet the Black Heavenâs Sect Leader, Chu Kuangren. Please step out and show yourself!â At that moment, a voice rang out from the sky.
A young man, with long black hair and armed with a silver Trident Halberd, was hovering in the air as incredibly dense Daoist Rhyme surged around his body.
What grabbed everyoneâs attention was the fact that besides the few golden scales on the black-haired young manâs forehead, every other part of his body looked no different to an ordinary person.
Among the Scaled Tribe, a personâs talent was determined by the number of scales they had on them. The lesser the number of scales, the more talented they were.
It was obvious that the black-haired young man possessed extraordinary talents.
âLittle guy, do you have any grudge with the Scaled Tribe? Theyâre already looking for you the moment they arrive,â the Black Heavenâs Second Forefather asked curiously.
Chu Kuangren let out a short peel of laughter. âHow can I possibly have anything to do with them? This is my first time meeting the Scaled Tribe after all.â
âSince thatâs the case, I suppose they only have one goal, which is the Emperor-Grade treasures in your hands,â the Third Forefather uttered with a serious look.
âIâll go meet him to find out what he wants.â
Chu Kuangren replied.
His figure then turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
The moment he reappeared, he was already standing before Bei Mingsan. He simply glanced at his opponent and activated the Eye of Revelation, rapidly gaining information about Bei Mingsan.
âBei Mingsan, Scaled Tribeâs Young Master, an ancient sky-pride that came from seventy thousand years ago, cultivation level â Honorable Supreme, cultivation technique â Rippling Dark Northern Tidal Art, incomplete Scaled Tribeâs Emperor Scripture, possesses combat strength comparable to an ordinary Sageâ¦â
âHuh, an incomplete Emperorâs Scripture?â
An Emperorâs Scripture related to the cultivationâs root foundation at that!
Chu Kuangren was a little surprised.
Emperor Scriptures related to the cultivationâs root foundation were extremely rare. Even Chu Kuangren who possessed two Emperor Scriptures did not have such a technique.
The only thing he gained was a Great Emperorâs experience and their cultivated Emperor Techniques.
However, Bei Mingsan had an Emperorâs Scripture about the cultivationâs root foundation. Although incomplete, it was still much greater than learning a Sage Ruler Technique.
Even his Heavenly Crepe-myrtle Sword Art could not compare to that, since it used to be an ordinary Sage Technique.
Although he had modified and improved it countless times for it to become a Sage Ruler Technique, there was still a huge difference between that and the Emperorâs Scripture.
âAm I finally meeting a sky-pride whoâs a match for me?â Chu Kuangren thought and started to feel a little excited.
âYouâre Chu Kuangren?â
The Scaled Tribeâs Young Master, Bei Mingsan asked, but the Trident Halberd in his hand suddenly vibrated. Even though it was only a second, he still noticed it. He then started to ponder.
âYes.â
âI want to ask, do you currently possess a halberd? Or to put it in another way, is a halberd one of the items you obtained from the cottage earlier?â
Bei Mingsanâs had a piercing gleam in his eyes. The Trident Halberdâs strange behavior seemed to have reminded him of something, and he could not help but feel a little excited.
He had initially come to obtain the Emperor-Grade treasures, but now it seemed that he had encountered something unexpected too.
âIâm not obligated to tell you about this.â
âHow about this? Why donât we have a little match to decide then? If you lose, you shall hand over all the treasures that youâve gained from that cottage. What do you think?â
âWhat if youâre the one who loses?â
âThatâs impossible!â
Bei Mingsan replied arrogantly, âEver since Iâve awakened in this era, Iâve never suffered a single defeat. Even the strongest sky-prides in the Scaled Tribe, other than me, canât even take three moves from me. Youâre definitely not a match for me.â
He held the Trident Halberd as his momentum surged. The Daoist Rhyme around his body emitted a crashing sound that was similar to a roaring ocean, and it continuously struck the void.
âDonât get too cocky. Okay, how about this? If you lose, I wonât demand too much from you. All I seek to have is that Trident Halberd that you have. What do you say?â
One look was all it took for Chu Kuangren to pick up on how unique that Trident Halberd was. It was surrounded by an aura that was close to that of an Emperorâs Aura.
That was a Boundary Emperor weapon!
Not only that but the moment he saw that Boundary Emperor Weapon, he could feel the Heavenly Halberd inside his Yin and Yang ring reacting weirdly as well.
It was clear that these two items were related in some manner, especially since Bei Mingsan asked if he possessed a halberd.
âDo you know what kind of item this Trident Halberd is?â
Bei Mingsanâs expression turned grim.
âWhat?â
âThis halberd is the greatest and most supreme treasure of my Scaled Tribe, and itâs the symbol of my position as the Scaled Tribeâs Young Master as well. Do you think youâre worthy of such an item?â
The domineering poise of his Daoist Rhyme became stronger as it swept towards Chu Kuangren.
However, Chu Kuangren merely stood still. In fact, that incoming violent Daoist Rhyme was nothing but a soothing breeze to him. It could not affect him at all.
âIf thatâs the case, then do you know how valuable the treasures Iâve obtained from the cottage earlier are compared to your Trident Halberd? Do you think youâre worthy of those treasures?â
Chu Kuangren replied coldly. Forget the others, but just that Boundary Emperorâs corpse alone was already much more valuable than that Trident Halberd.
Not to mention that horrifying female Emperorâs head.
âSo? Are we going to fight or not? Itâs just a simple question so cut the bullsh*t and quit being such a p*ssy.â
Chu Kuangren bellowed coldly, to which Bei Mingsanâs expression darkened even more.
âAlright, so be it!â
