Fine arcs of electricity wandered through the void, continuously blasting onto Chu Kuangrenâs body.
However, those attacks were nothing to him. In fact, they were similar to tickles and itches to his Supreme Sageâs body.
Just like that, Chu Kuangren forcefully tore open a large gap through that barrier using his bare hands.
The instant that barrier was destroyed, several strong cultivators from the past ancient orthodoxies immediately detected it.
âSomeone has broken the barrier. Who is it?â
âD*mn it. Who dares to go against us?â
One of the strong cultivators of the past ancient orthodoxies, who was closest to the barrier, immediately rushed towards that direction.
It did not take long for them to arrive at the barrier, and upon seeing Chu Kuangren, they shot him a chilling gaze. âYou must be the one who broke through our barrier. Do you know this is an act of war towards our great orthodoxies?â
That personâs figure was tall and huge. He had a circle of white fur around his neck and a pair of yellow beast-like eyes.
Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation. âBai Lei, true form â snow lion, cultivation level â Boundary Emperorâ¦â
One by one, Bai Leiâs information appeared before Chu Kuangren.
Although he was a Boundary Emperor, he was considered one of the weaker ones among the other Boundary Emperors that Chu Kuangren had encountered. Hence, he was not a threat to Chu Kuangren at all.
Then again, he was still a Boundary Emperor.
The poise and momentum of that person were still incredibly scary to the group Sages who had come to check out what was going on.
âThis is bad. This is really bad. That guy has angered a Boundary Emperor.â
âTsk. That guy seems powerful for sure, but seeing that heâs alone, it wonât be a smart thing to do to offend a past ancient orthodoxy.â
âPerhaps that guy has some sort of shocking background?â
The Sages chattered while paying attention to the situationâs development.
In the meantime, Chu Kuangren looked at Bai Lei before him and said, âIâm only here to find someone and have no intentions to be your enemy.â
âHmph, I donât care who youâre looking for, but your act of breaching the barrier that our orthodoxies have set up is a clear declaration of war towards us.â
âIf thatâs the case, you should treat it as such then.â
Chu Kuangren curled his lips and stopped explaining further.
âYou⦠Are you courting death!â
The members of the Snow Lion Tribe were generally violent and short-tempered, so seeing Chu Kuangrenâs attitude made him so enraged that he immediately attacked him.
With a punch, the surrounding snow gathered, forming a roaring lion phantom that dashed to attack Chu Kuangren.
âWhy donât you get out of my way, little kitty?â
Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and pointed his finger towards the void.
In an instant, an incredibly dense surge of finger strength erupted. It was the Emperor Technique, the Heart Piercing Finger!
The Heart Piercing Finger targeted the opponentâs Daoist core!
Bai Leiâs mind was instantly affected by that attack. As a result, the snow-and-wind-made snow lion phantom shattered, dispersing into snow in the sky.
After that, Bai Lei himself was sent flying several hundred meters away by the powerful surge of strength qi. As he crashed onto the ground, his aura immediately wilted away.
Chu Kuangren had defeated a Boundary Emperor with a single move!
All of the onlooking Sages were traumatized and stunned by Chu Kuangrenâs combat strength.
âWhat the f*ck? Who is that person?!â
âWhat a terrifying power. Who the hell is this guy? He looks like a sky-pride of the younger generation, but how is he that powerful?!â
Bai Lei, who was sent flying earlier, was also horrified.
A single move! He was defeated with only a single move!
Before the likes of Chu Kuangren, he was no different than a little kitten.
Chu Kuangren did not bother to check if his opponent was alive or dead either. Instead, he walked towards the Heavenly Pool.
After entering the barrier, his spiritual thoughts spread out, eventually confirming that Shang Qingxue was indeed at the Heavenly Pool.
However, she seemed to be in a delicate situation.
â¦
Inside the Heavenly Pool.
Shang Qingxue remained seated within the Frosted-Core Snow Lotus. The changes that the Frosted-Core Snow Lotus made to her body were now even more visible.
Increasingly more people arrived by the Heavenly Pool as well.
Besides the few sky-prides earlier, another group of people had arrived.
Most of the sky-prides were from four past ancient orthodoxies â the Sima clan, Gu clan, Snow Spider Tribe, and Snow Lion Tribe.
However, one of them was quite unique.
That person was dressed in black robes and carried a chilling presence. However, he alone represented a whole orthodoxy.
Although he was alone, the other sky-prides were very cautious towards him.
It was because that person represented an archaic orthodoxy!
As for that person, he was one of the most top-notched sky-prides within that archaic orthodoxy.
âWang Tianteng, one of the sky-prides from the outside world. Heâs also a member of the Wang clan.â
âThis guyâs strength should not be underestimated.â
The sky-prides of the past ancient orthodoxies at the scene looked at Wang Tianteng with a stern expression.
In reality, the Gu clan, a past ancient orthodoxy was one of the Wang clanâs vassals. That was why Wang Tianteng was present.
âOh, Wang Tianteng? Itâs you.â
At this moment, inside the Frosted-Core Snow Lotus, Shang Qingxue was taken aback by Wang Tiantengâs presence.
âOh, you know who I am?â
âIn the past, you were ranked fourth on the divine predictorâs Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.â
Shang Qingxue explained. During that time, the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard was very well-known throughout the Firmament Star, so she naturally took note of it.
âSo youâre a sky-pride from the Firmament Star.â Wang Tianteng did not seem to care.
Considering the Emperor Road had opened, it was not surprising that someone from the Firmament Star was here.
âThatâs right. My name is Shang Qingxue, from the⦠Black Heaven Sect!â
Shang Qingxue chuckled.
Upon hearing the words âBlack Heaven Sectâ, Wang Tiantengâs pupils shrank. Then, he quickly looked around his surroundings in a panic, as if he was terrified of something.
The sky-prides of the past ancient orthodoxies were shocked to see his sudden behavior.
What could possibly make Wang Tianteng behave like that?
After all, he was a top-notched sky-pride, second only to the outlawed sky-prides.
âWhat about Chu Kuangren? Where is he? Is he here at the Heavenly Pool as well?â Wang Tianteng asked.
âWhy donât you take a guess?â Shang Qingxue chuckled.
âHmph. Youâre bluffing.â Wang Tianteng snorted and gradually calmed down.
He recalled that sky-prides from the outside world would be separated when they entered the Emperor Road. It seemed that was the case with Shang Qingxue and Chu Kuangren.
âIf Chu Kuangren is not here, why should I be afraid?!â
âThis snow lotus is mine.â
With a sneer, Wang Tianteng immediately attacked, seeking to obtain the Frosted-Core Snow Lotus by destroying the snow barrier.
âIf you want that snow lotus, youâll have to ask my permission first!â
At this time, a cry echoed as a white figure suddenly swooped down. A wave of domineering Sage aura suddenly swept everywhere.
It was a woman who arrived. She was dressed in clothes as white as snow and had a gorgeous face.
âItâs Princess Zhu!â
âPrincess Zhu is here. This is great news.â
Princess Zhu was the strongest sky-pride of the Snow Spider Tribe and a top-notch sky-pride who was on par with Wang Tian Teng.
âHeh, my Snow Lion Tribe wonât give this Snow Lotus up that easily as well.â
A burly man with great poise walked out, and a domineering aura spread everywhere.
âIt seems it wonât be an easy task for my Sima clan to obtain this Snow Lotus.â
A snowy white sword ray appeared and revealed a young sword cultivator in white. He emanated a freezing cold sword qi.
âItâs Bai Shixin of the Snow Lion Tribe, the orthodoxyâs strongest sky-pride of this generation!â
âOther than the Snow Lion Tribe, Sima Ren of the Sima clan is here as well. Heâs one of the few sword cultivators in the younger generation of sky-prides in the Emperor Road whose strength is second only to the Sword Daoist.â
âIt looks like things are getting interesting with the sky-prides of the three great past ancient orthodoxies here. However, it seems that the Gu clan doesnât have someone who is a match for those three. Seeing that theyâre a vassal clan of the Wang clan, it looks like Wang Tianteng is going to be the one to fight the others for that Snow Lotus.â
At the Heavenly Poolâs shore, everyone could not contain their excitement as they looked at the sky-prides who were considered the strongest of this generation.
