Chapter 512 Taming An Emperor Weapon, Consecutively Defeating Boundary Emperors
Up in the air, the Sima Clan Leader suddenly drew a golden longsword.
The blade was embedded with lines of runic scriptures and emitted a magnificent oppressive presence.
"It's the Emperor's Aura. That's an Emperor Weapon." Chu Kuangren squinted his eyes.
"Little brat, it's about time I show you the power of the Sima clan's Emperor Weapon!" the Sima Clan Leader announced loudly. With the abrupt swing of his blade, he unleashed a streak of golden sword qi that shot downwards on Chu Kuangren like a golden dragon.
The sword qi shattered parts of the realms, leaving traces of white crevices in its path.
"You speak as if I don't own one myself," Chu Kuangren said indifferently before he lifted his hand and summoned a golden halberd.
It was none other than the Empyrean Neptune's Trident Halberd.
Chu Kuangren swung his halberd and unleashed the earth-shattering force of the ferocious ocean.
The golden sword ray and the majestic torrential force collided violently.
The clash of the Emperor Weapons' power created an impact as strong as one hundred thousand mountains colliding into one. Its frightening aftermath shattered almost half of Heavenly Pool Mountain.
Having been forced to retreat several dozens of kilometers due to the blast wave, the observing Sages stared at the Heavenly Pool Mountain in horror.
"Such energy can only be the result of the crossing of two Emperor Weapons. Oh dear, that b*stard has an Emperor Weapon of his own!"
"Neither the past ancient nor even archaic ancient orthodoxies possess many Emperor Weapons. Yet, that b*stard's carrying an Emperor Weapon of his own! How rich must his orthodoxy be for their sky-pride to be carrying an Emperor Weapon around?!"
"The clash of the Emperor Weapons is too powerful. Let's not get too near."
The collision was indeed devastating.
However, Chu Kuangren was clearly superior to that of the Sima Clan Leader as he was able to draw a stronger source of power from the Emperor Weapon.
The torrential force of the Empyrean Neptune's Trident Halberd effortlessly sliced through the golden sword ray and brutally crashed into the Sima Clan Leader's body.
Despite his Boundary Emperor Physique, the Sima Clan Leader could not withstand it and was blasted away by the overwhelming power of the Emperor Weapon.
The golden longsword slipped through his hand.
"That's not good!"
The Sima Clan Leader was horrified and immediately tried to recall his Emperor Weapon.
Unfortunately for him, a boundless mind power abruptly encased the Emperor Weapon, rendering his recall attempt futile.
Chu Kuangren vanished in his position and reappeared before the Emperor Weapon as he gripped onto the handle.
The Emperor Weapon flashed with a glorious sword ray and jerked violently as if it was resisting Chu Kuangren's ownership.
"Oh, still resisting, I see? Now yield before me!"
Chu Kuangren lightly grunted and unleashed his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart's Aura and his Supreme Sage's spiritual energies!
Soon, the Emperor Weapon halted its movement and did not resist any further.
"How's that possible?!" The Sima Clan Leader was appalled, to say the least.
Just like that, the Sima Clan Leader felt the bond between him and his Emperor Weapon severed.
"It seems like you've never gotten the Emperor Weapon's acknowledgment. You merely did some simple refinement," Chu Kuangren said.
Indeed.
If the Sima Clan Leader had done a more thorough job in refining the weapon, even Chu Kuangren's Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart would not have earned the weapon's loyalty.
The only explanation was that the Sima Clan Leader had done a horrible job in refining the weapon.
Even so, it was difficult to blame the Sima Clan Leader. Emperor Weapons were typically rebellious entities that could not be refined easily. Without its acknowledgment, most cultivators could not become the rightful owners of the weapons.
At most, they could only acquire the weapon's permission to use them.
"D*mn it!" The Sima Clan Leader stared at Chu Kuangren in envy.
Chu Kuangren had unraveled the fullest potential of his physique, yet he had managed to tame the Emperor Weapon in such a short amount of time.
It seemed that the Sima Clan had really lost an Emperor Weapon now. What a great loss!
"Let's run!"
The Gu Clan Leader was determined to leave.
Chu Kuangren was so powerful that not even the four of them could harm him in any meaningful way. On the other hand, the Snow Lion Tribe Leader was heavily injured.
Now that their opponent had acquired an additional Emperor Weapon, there was no way they could even level the playing field.
If they hesitated any further, this might just become their burial ground.
Even the Snow Spider Tribe Leader panicked as she turned around and attempted to flee.
As for the Snow Lion Tribe Leader, he was still helplessly held down by Chu Kuangren's Mountain Rune. Hence, he could not move a single inch.
'F*ck my life!'
Those b*stards did not even think of taking him with them.
"Thinking about leaving now? How naive."
Chu Kuangren chuckled lightly.
He simply lifted his hand and unleashed a wave of mythical Sword-based Daoist Rhymes.
The Daoist Rhymes spread in all directions and formed a giant circle of twelve large sword qi pillars!
In an instant, the entire space was sealed by the presence of the terrifying sword qi.
"It's the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart's Daoist Physique Transformation, the Nine Heaven Sword Prison!" the Sima Clan Leader said worryingly.
"D*mn it! Let's break it!"
The Gu Clan Leader launched his spear fiercely into the air.
The frightening spear ray darted across the realm like a fearsome dragon.
With a loud boom, the spear ray flew into the void and penetrated through the sword qi.
It ripped a large hole through the sword qi that once covered the sky.
"I did it!" The Gu Clan Leader was delighted.
Just then.
A line of silver runes fell from the sky.
A burst of forbidden sealing force ensued, sealing the entire region in position. The Gu Clan Leader's body immediately froze in the middle of the air.
Meanwhile, the gaping hole of the Nine Heaven Sword Prison had been patched.
"I've told you. It's too late to leave now."
Chu Kuangren whispered into the ears of the Gu Clan Leader.
Then, a single ray of purple sword ray abruptly shot out and devoured the Gu Clan Leader whole.
In split seconds, the observers witnessed the Gu Clan Leader's body reduced into pulps while he was still in mid-air.
A leader of a past-ancient orthodoxy had perished!
It was a frightening scene that shook all of the cultivators present.
"Run, run!"
The Snow Spider Tribe Leader managed to break free of the Spatial Cessation Rune's effect and dove recklessly into the distance.
However, just like the Gu Clan Leader, her attempt was fruitless.
Chu Kuangren expanded his mind power, forming countless runic swords in the air that blocked the Snow Spider Tribe Leader's escape route.
Chu Kuangren dashed forward and arrived directly behind the Snow Spider Tribe Leader.
"Stay away from me!"
Sensing the chilling presence behind her back, the Snow Lion Tribe Leader squealed in terror and revealed her true form.
Her light-toned skin ruptured, revealing an enormous, white-furred arachnid spider beneath.
The spider let out a deafening screech as it attempted to stab Chu Kuangren with its pedipalps.
"Die!"
Chu Kuangren drew the Self Descendant Sword and activated the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.
A ray of glamorous sword ray descended from above, slicing the Snow Spider Tribe Leader's pedipalps off before it fell onto the rest of her body.
The sword qi immediately sliced her enormous body into halves. Copious amounts of blood spurted out and dyed a large patch of snow into crimson red.
The Snow Lion Tribe Leader was dead!
"Two more left now!"
Chu Kuangren glanced at the Snow Lion Tribe Leader and mobilized his spiritual thought, forming an enormous runic sword above his target.
Like a falling comet, the runic sword mercilessly crashed through the Snow Lion Tribe Leader.
Having sustained heavy injuries, the defenseless Snow Lion Tribe Leader perished instantly.
Before the observers could process most of what was happening, three out of four orthodoxy leaders had fallen!
The cultivators that had gathered around Heavenly Pool Mountain stared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief. They had nothing but the utmost admiration and fear for Chu Kuangren.
