Chapter 628 Killing the Remnant Spirit, Destroying More Ancestral Lands, as if I’ll Believe That Cra
Once again, Chu Kuangren encountered another formidable enemy in the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land.
It was the Remnant Spirit of a Sword Emperor!
A huge battle broke out between both of them. Their Sword Dao sparked with brilliance as sounds of swords clanked incessantly echoed in the void.
Each clash was a display of the pinnacle of Sword Dao!
"So this is the power of the Emperor's Dao?"
"It's indeed challenging for those below the Emperor Realm to go against one who possesses the Emperor's Dao! Then again, I wonder. As a Remnant Spirit with an incomplete corpse, how much power of the Emperor's Dao can you possibly exert?" Chu Kuangren uttered apathetically while swinging his Descendant Self Sword.
"Enough to kill you!"
The Sword Tribe's Emperor said coldly.
A horrifying Emperor's Aura erupted from his body, which made Chu Kuangren feel a sense of suppression in his Sword Dao.
It was his first time being overpowered to such an extent.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren did not panic. Instead, he felt excited. With the Descendant Self Sword in hand, he began to exert his Dao to its fullest potential!
In that process, his newly-breakthrough Ultimate Dao began to improve once again.
He was using his opponent's Emperor Dao to refine his Dao!
"Planning to strengthen your Dao with mine? In your dreams!" The Sword Tribe's Emperor snorted coldly before unleashing the full might of his power.
With a slash, Chu Kuangren was sent flying.
"Ha! I've finally had a glimpse of the Emperor's Dao's full power, which is clearly only the tip of an iceberg. Hence, it's time for our battle to end." Chu Kuangren grinned.
The Sword Tribe's Emperor frowned a little when he heard that. "What do you mean by time for our battle to end? Are you thinking of escaping?"
"Oh, that's not it. I'm going to kill you, of course!"
Chu Kuangren chuckled as he stepped forward. Urging his vast Daoist Rhyme to its fullest potential, his Invincible Technique erupted. Suddenly, several Daoist Patterns appeared and intertwined in the void, exuding a terrifying aura.
"This is… an Esoteric Art!!"
The Sword Tribe's Emperor's pupils shrink in horror.
The Esoteric Art was a cultivation technique that could only be achieved after cultivating one's Dao to the Ultimate Stage, and it was unique to each cultivator!
Even someone like the Sword Tribe's Emperor had yet cultivated an Esoteric Art!
However, he had witnessed it on a young future sky-pride!
"How's it possible for a younger sky-pride like you to cultivate an Esoteric Art? I've spent thousands of years before I died trying to achieve this only to fail in the end. So how can a younger sky-pride like you succeed?!"
The Sword Tribe's Emperor started to lose his composure.
If Chu Kuangren were an Emperor, he would not be surprised. However, Chu Kuangren was only a young, future sky pride. Moreover, the Sword Tribe's Emperor could tell that Chu Kuangren was also incredibly young even among the sky-prides — no older than the age of sixty.
Yet, such a young sky-pride had managed to cultivate an Esoteric Art, a feat that he failed despite spending thousands of years cultivating!
How could he possibly accept this fact?!
At that moment, he felt that the thousands of years he spent was nothing more than a joke.
"You can't even steady your Daoist Core, yet you still call yourself an Emperor?"
Seeing that his opponent was having a mental breakdown, Chu Kuangren could not help but sneer. Then, he took the opportunity to channel his Invincible Technique.
The moment he struck forth with his sword, the might of the Inverted Universe exploded!
That surge of energy would not change based on the weapons Chu Kuangren used. It was powerful all the same, whether he was using a sword, punching with his fists, or striking with a spear.
Boom!
Under the Inverted Universe attack, the Sword Tribe's Emperor was blasted out of the battlefield. With that, the Remnant Spirit started to degrade and revert to a skeletal appearance.
"Young future sky-pride, we, the Sword Tribe's Emperors shall never forgive you for destroying our ancestral land!"
The Sword Tribe's Emperor said coldly.
"They're free to seek me out when I become an Emperor in the future if they dare."
Chu Kuangren's figure then turned into a flash as he rushed to grab that golden skeleton's skull. Channeling the might of nine dragon qi and Emperor qi, the Sword Emperor's Remnant Spirit was soon destroyed.
Then, he kept the skeleton inside his Yin and Yang ring.
The moment he took away the three Ancestral Land Foundations, the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land started trembling.
Several black cracks spread across the void, gradually enveloping the whole ancestral land. Before long, the enchanted boundary started to crumble.
"It's over. It's all over."
The Sword Sovereigns' hearts sank upon witnessing the scene.
However, Chu Kuangren did not care. Instead, his figure disappeared into a ray of light and escaped from the Sword Sovereigns' sights.
Meanwhile, outside.
The sword-shaped mountain peak that the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land was located started to fall apart. Bout after bout of terrifying spatial energy spread across the land, bringing destruction upon the surrounding landscape.
Seemingly having foreseen this happening, the Sword Tribe Leader had already evacuated the Sword Tribe's people somewhere else long ago.
When the mountain started to crumble, a ray of sword light shot out from it before entering the void and disappeared.
The Sword Tribe Leader knew that it was Chu Kuangren.
He had already taken all the Foundations in the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land.
"What a catastrophe."
The Sword Tribe Leader sighed helplessly.
Following the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land's destruction, news of Chu Kuangren tearing apart an orthodoxy's ancestral land soon spread across the Emperor Road.
Once again, he had become the topic of discussion for everyone.
"It seems like the Sword Tribe couldn't escape the same fate as the Holy Light Religion. Is Chu Kuangren ever going to stop? Will he only be satisfied once he destroys the resting places of every Sovereign? He's just too tyrannical and unreasonable."
"Ha! Chu Kuangren really can't sit still and stop making a ruckus. At this rate, he's going to turn the whole Emperor Road upside down at this rate."
"As of now, can anyone in Emperor Road stop him?"
"We can't let him do as he wishes any longer. Otherwise, the Emperor Road will end up in Chu Kuangren's control."
"I don't think what he's doing is wrong. He's clearly taking revenge against the people who incurred his wrath. Seeing that the Sword Tribe has caused him so much trouble, is he not allowed to give them payback for what they did?"
"Yeah, I feel the same way too. The only thing I can say is that the Sword Tribe brought all of this upon themselves."
In Emperor Road, some condemned Chu Kuangren's actions, stating that he was cruel and ruthless. However, some felt that his actions were just and reasonable, and some were talking about it for fun, guessing which orthodoxy would become Chu Kuangren's next target.
Among them, the ones that were most afraid were mainly the Wang clan, Bai clan, Demonic Tribe, Runic Lands, and other orthodoxies that took part in the collaborated attack against Chu Kuangren. All of them were on high alert.
Not long after, a piece of news spread once again.
Chu Kuangren had appeared at the Divine Yinyang Sect's territory, where he tore down their great defensive formation with a single slash and stole their Ancestral Land Foundation!
Everyone's guesses were answered the moment they heard the news.
Chu Kuangren was taking revenge.
After the Divine Yinyang Sect, Chu Kuangren arrived at the Wang clan.
The moment he stepped foot into the Wang clan's territory, a majestic five-colored light suddenly appeared in the sky. The Wang Clan Matriarch was seen riding a colorful peacock and tossing a white jade order into the air.
The white jade order radiated brilliantly before a majestic apparition appeared in the void.
That person emanated a terrifying Emperor's Aura. It was the Emperor's Thought clone of the Wang clan's Emperor, appearing just to stop Chu Kuangren from wreaking havoc!
That was the Wang clan's most powerful trump card.
"Young sky-pride, leave the Wang clan now, and I shall assume that nothing happened between you and the Wang clan."
The Wang clan's Great Emperor said indifferently yet arrogantly.
"As if I'll believe that cr*p."
Upon hearing this, Chu Kuangren snorted and unleashed a punch towards him from afar. The moment his Invincible Technique erupted, countless Daoist Patterns hovered in the void, creating a conjuration of the day and night eclipsing with stars falling from the sky.
The catastrophic might immediately blew the Wang clan's Great Emperor up!
