Chapter 350: The Unfathomable Chu Kuangren, Princess Linglong Will Soon Be Enthroned
The three great empyrean walkers revealed their aces at the same time.
They combined forces and hurled their incredibly horrifying power towards Chu Kuangren at once. The air around him exploded continuously, where even the fabrics of space there were almost twisted.
Yet, under the enormity of these powers, Chu Kuangren still stood there amongst all things, with an ever so tranquil expression. It was as if all the chaos that laid before him was nothing but a light breeze.
He then plucked his fingers on the guqin that was in front of him. His eyes focused and an incredibly magnificent guqin Daoist Rhyme surged outwards. “Synchronous Overworld Anarchy!!”
The guqin music rang out, reverberating throughout the entire space!
The entire realm was sent into a quiver!
Surges after surges of guqin Daoist Rhymes blasted at everything around them. The dazzling Big Dipper sword shadow was disintegrated, the humongous Mountain River Stamp was shattered, and the enchanting guqin music Daoist Rhymes were silenced…
Those energies that made their way to Chu Kuangren were all completely nullified in the face of his guqin Daoist Rhyme. They could not even harm him in the slightest bit.
On the contrary, Ye Xin, Feng Yaorao, and Guo San were heavily injured under the impact of the Synchronous Overworld Anarchy song. The trio spat out a mouthful of blood as their body inadvertently flung backward. Instantly, their energies were sapped.
Right now, amongst the four great empyrean walkers, the only one who had any energy left would be the person who had a Sage-Ruler-Grade armor on, Zhan Long.
However, after witnessing the Chu Kuangren’s formidable combat strength, Zhan Long could not help but gulp. His battle intent was now relatively weaker than when the battle had just begun. He stared at Chu Kuangren with reverence in his eyes.
“This is too scary!”
“To be able to wound three great empyrean walkers with minimal effort, is this person really from an orthodoxy like the Black Heaven Sect?”
“Besides…”
Zhan Long took a glance at the Descendant Self Sword that was strapped to Chu Kuangren’s waist.
He knew that there was a large probability that Chu Kuangren had yet unleashed his full power because he had not once used his sword from start until the end.
“We’ve lost this battle.”
Zhan Long exhaled sharply and claimed. Although he was very reluctant to admit defeat, he knew clearly that if the fight went on, he would never stand a chance against Chu Kuangren.
The four great empyrean walkers had suffered a crushing defeat today!
“Since you’ve surrendered, I’ve still got some matters to discuss with you.” Chu Kuangren kept the Lingering Song away and said calmly.
“What sort of matters?”
“My dear friends, you’ve had trial combats at my Black Heaven Sect for the past few days, damaging quite a number of our buildings. I believe it’s fair to ask you to compensate us with some soulstones.”
“That’s fair.”
Without rejecting, Zhan Long threw a Yin and Yang Ring at him.
Chu Kuangren took a look at it, then nodded satisfyingly.
Such a generous act, they were truly empyrean walkers who hailed from the unknown lands. Just a simple gesture amounted to several hundred thousand Top-tier soulstones.
Pfft.
Those unknown lands had existed for so many years that the wealth of their resources was far beyond what these sage orthodoxies had. One could only imagine how many precious treasures they had in their storage.
If only he could head there and make a good harvest…
Chu Kuangren quickly removed this dangerous thought from his mind the moment it flashed across his mind. The unknown lands had many years of deep-rooted history, so he should not be acting too recklessly there.
He turned to glance at Guo San, who was self-conscious enough to hand out his own Yin and Yang Ring as well.
“Very well.”
“Since you’ve had your duels here, I won’t be sending you out then.”
Chu Kuangren said flatly.
After that, his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared from where he was standing. The few empyrean walkers could only let out a bitter smile as they looked towards the direction of the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain entrance.
They were all trained in the unknown lands, and they were sky-prides who held the mantle of bringing fame to their respective orthodoxies. Hence, their combat strengths were far more superior than any other sky-pride in the outside world.
Thus, they were very arrogant.
During their descent into the realm this time, they had swept through countless sky-prides with an almost unstoppable force. However, they had never imagined that they would suffer an unprecedented defeat to Chu Kuangren!
“Chu Kuangren’s strength is really… unfathomable!”
Ye Xin took a deep breath and said.
“With the presence of such character, other people’s desire to become an Emperor would be… near impossible!!”
Zhan Long also felt incredibly depressed.
“In this Era of the Great Dharma Emergence, there’s no limit to just one person who could become Emperor. But the person who becomes Emperor first would undoubtedly have a huge advantage over the others. Still, with the existence of this person, who could beat him in the race to become Emperor?”
“Such a character really deserves his peerless and divine appearance!!”
Feng Yaorao went on as glitters of admiration gleamed in her beautiful eyes. She had just been destroyed by Chu Kuangren, yet she held no grudges against him. Instead, she now had an odd sense of reverence and respect for him.
…
The news of Chu Kuangren defeating the four empyrean walkers spread like wildfire.
Meanwhile, some of the forces who had kept a close eye on the development of this event were utterly stunned. It did cross their minds that Chu Kuangren would prevail, but they had never imagined that he could defeat his opponents so effortlessly.
Those forces from the unknown lands were especially dejected when they heard of this.
They had sent these empyrean walkers down to the realm to make a name for their orthodoxies and serve as an eye-opener for the people before the unknown lands fully presented themselves. Not only that but it also allowed the empyrean walkers an opportunity to fight for themselves in this Era of Great Battles and win the chance to become an Emperor!
However, the bad news was that with Chu Kuangren here, he would dominate the scene all by himself and take all the fortunes of the world.
How would the others even stand a chance at becoming an Emperor then?!
As for Chu Kuangren himself, he had no idea what those unknown lands had in their minds. Though even if he knew, he could not care less.
Becoming an Emperor depended upon one’s abilities.
The fact that he was stronger than everybody else was the biggest ability that he held over the others.
After defeating a few empyrean walkers, Chu Kuangren returned to the Black Heaven Sect, where Nangong Huang, Elder Ruyan, and the others had prepared him a victory feast.
However, Chu Kuangren felt that defeating just a few empyrean walkers did not warrant such a huge celebration. Nevertheless, he was unable to dissuade Elder Ruyan and the folks.
Just a few days after the feast, Chu Kuangren received a message.
“Oh, Linglong is about to be enthroned?”
Chu Kuangren could not help but express his surprise when he saw the update from the Royal Azure Dynasty.
Princess Linglong from the Royal Azure Dynasty was ready to ascend to the throne, and Chu Kuangren was invited to go and witness her crowning. There was no reason that Chu Kuangren would refuse this invitation.
The next day.
Chu Kuangren brought Lan Yu along as he headed to the Royal Azure Dynasty.
At this time, the Royal Azure Dynasty was buzzing with people. The news of Princess Linglong’s coronation had spread across the kingdom in no time at all.
Even though it was extremely rare for a female to take the throne, it was not an unprecedented occurrence in the history of the Royal Azure Dynasty. Besides, Princess Linglong’s prestige and influence had grown so much throughout these years, so no one objected to that.
Even if there were any, they were squelched pretty easily.
It did not take long before Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu arrived at the Royal Azure Palace. The Royal Azure Dynasty King and Princess Linglong walked out to welcome them.
“My fiancé, you’re here.”
“Yes, surely I have to be here for your coronation ceremony.”
Chu Kuangren said as he looked at the dazzling Princess Linglong and smiled softly.
“Hah, my dear son-in-law, news of you defeating the four empyrean walkers is really trending. You truly are capable,” the Royal Azure Dynasty King said with a smile.
“Ah, my dear King, you’ve spoken too highly of me.”
After that, the Royal Azure Dynasty King held a banquet to toast Chu Kuangren.
The guests at the banquet were mostly nobles of the royal families.
Some of the royal socialites could not help but flash adoring gazes at Chu Kuangren when they saw him. Then, they looked at Princess Linglong with admiration.
“The Princess and her fiancé are really a match made in heaven.”
“Exactly. The royal fiancé is the Black Heaven Sect Leader, who is also undeniably one of the hottest talks of the world right now. On the other hand, the Princess will be crowned Queen in just a matter of days, assuming the rule over the Royal Azure Dynasty. These two are definitely a matching couple in terms of that.”
The few socialites were genuinely jealous of the pair.
Princess Linglong herself revealed a gentle smile as well.
Whereas Chu Kuangren simply maintained the warm smile he had on since the start, which made the few socialites’ hearts pound even faster.
However, a crush remains a crush. They did not dare make any moves on him.
They were very clear that with their identities, wanting to have any sort of relationship with Chu Kuangren was almost like a pipe dream.
