“One Sage Ruler Weapon detected. Location, three thousand feet underground!”
The newly-found information from the Treasure Locating Skill appeared.
Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up. “Found it. How surprising; not only is this pesky rascal buried three thousand feet underground, but it's even sealed with concealing energy. If not for my Treasure Locating Skill, I'm afraid that even an Honorable Supreme wouldn't have been able to find it.”
“Next up, is to figure out how to get that thing out from down under.”
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu then leaped into the air. The moment he activated his three great Transformations, a horrifying Sword-based Daoist Rhyme surrounded him.
“Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!”
From the sky came a purple sword ray that landed on the ground.
Following a sudden boom that trembled the ground, the surrounding mountains, and even the whole Mountain River City, everyone who heard it looked bewilderedly towards the direction of the explosion.
“What's going on?”
“It came from the Mountain River Sect. Also, that Daoist Rhyme is Chu Kuangren's. What the h.e.l.l is that guy up to now?”
“Let's go take a look.”
The cultivators in the city quickly headed towards the Mountain River Sect.
They were still a distance away from that place when a terrifying explosion came from the Mountain River Sect again. Similarly, it was caused by an extremely strong sword ray (TN: Author used 劍氣 here, a.s.sumed to be a typo for 劍光) that had fallen from the skies.
One after another, beams of sword rays fell upon the earth!
“What the f*ck, does this guy want to split open the very mountain itself?”
“Could there be something beneath the mountain?”
Inside the Mountain River Sect.
Chu Kuangren conjured his sword ray one after another, destroying the landscape of the originally-ruined Mountain River Sect even more. Due to this constant barrage of attacks, an extremely huge and bottomless ravine appeared.
“Hah, there's still one more!”
Chu Kuangren swung his Sacred Sword and released a violent Sword Qi that crashed down from above.
The Sword Qi permeated through the darkness of the ravine. Then, as if it made contact with an invisible barrier, it immediately shattered and remnants of Sword Qi escaped from the ravine.
Upon taking a closer look, lines of glowing yellow runes, that were surrounded by swirls of Earth Qi, could be seen in the darkness and depths of the ravine
“Brother Chu, what are you doing!” At that moment, the Mountain River Daoist rushed over and immediately questioned Chu Kuangren when he saw him.
Although the Mountain River Sect was destroyed, it was still an orthodoxy to which he belonged and still had precious memories of. He could not bear to see its land even more devastated than it was now.
However, he too had instantly noticed something strange within the ravine. Once he saw the yellow runes, he exclaimed, “This is my Mountain River Sect's Seal!”
“You arrived just in time. This seal we have here, do you know how to break it?” Chu Kuangren glanced at him and simply asked.
“This is an Earth Qi seal made by my Mountain River Sect. Unless your strength exceeds the one who placed the seal here, you'll have to hit it with an external surge of Earth Qi as well. Otherwise, you won't be able to break the seal.”
“Young lad, do you need my help to do this?”
The Seventh Forefather's voice could be heard from the void.
Chu Kuangren smiled gently. “It's alright, allow me to do it myself.”
He then rose into the air and made a mysterious hand sign. With a surge of dense and overbearing Daoist Rhyme, he started to gather Earth Qi from the surrounding areas.
Having gathered, the menacing Earth Qi then formed into a large sacred mountain that eventually crashed!
Sage Ruler Technique, Human Mountain Stamp!
At that, the Mountain River Daoist's expression suddenly turned into amazement. “Unbelievable, to be able to command such magnificent prowess over the control of Earth Qi. What a mystical Daoist Technique!”
The Mountain River Sect specialized in Earth Qi manipulation, but even they did not possess such a Daoist Technique like this!
Boom!
The sacred mountain that was formed using the Earth Qi violently crashed onto the seal within the depths of that ravine. In an instant, vast amounts of Earth Qi scattered wildly and gushed out from the ravine!
The Mountain River seal was broken!
At the same time, the gus.h.i.+ng Earth Qi mixed itself with a black pillar of air that was releasing an incomparably powerful, numbing, and horrifying surge of Daoist Rhyme.
Suddenly, a menacing Demonic Qi spread across in all directions.
“This energy… It's a Demonic Weapon! ”
“Hold up, could this be the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse that once belonged to the Supreme Demonic Honorable!”
“Impossible, the whole Mountain River Sect has been scavenged a few times and yet no one has obtained a clue about the Demon Spear. How can Chu Kuangren possibly find it?”
“If it's beneath the earth, hidden underground, then how did he find it?”
The crowd looked into the ravine with different expressions, while some even looked greedy. 'One must know that we're talking about a Sage Ruler Weapon here!'
'Only a mere handful of those can be found in the Firmament Star.'
However, it was a shame that because Chu Kuangren was in their way, they dared not make a move on him.
The Earth Qi and Demonic Qi gradually dispersed.
Only then could everybody make out the crimson long spear that was stuck within the depths of that ravine. Lines of runes could be seen surrounding it as a frightening surge of Daoist Rhyme circulated. It was truly a Sage Ruler Weapon, the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse!
“So that's the Sage Ruler Weapon? It's truly extraordinary!”
“Back then, the Supreme Demonic Honorable was able to invade and rule over the Azure Dragon Domain mainly because of that Demonic Spear. However, legends have it that even the Supreme Demonic Honorable himself was not able to utilize the full strength of this spear!”
“You don't say, this is a Sage Ruler Weapon after all! How can the Supreme Demonic Honorable summon the true strength of this spear if he wasn't even a sage himself?”
“The main reason of this current demonic onslaught that is now upon Northern Lingdao State, as well as the appearance of numerous Demonic cultivators who have come from afar, is because of this Demonic Spear!”
Countless cultivators gulped in desire as they looked at the Demonic Spear. It was as if they had heard a voice within them. 'Get it, come get it…'
“I don't care, this spear is mine!”
Not able to hold back his desires any longer, one of the cultivators immediately rushed towards the ravine.
However, before he could come close to the spear, a beam of sword ray instantly flashed through him and just like that, that cultivator was killed on the spot by Chu Kuangren!
Unfortunately, the other cultivators were unfazed by the death of that one cultivator earlier as they, one by one, rushed towards the Demonic Spear in a mad frenzy.
“No, this Demonic Spear has to be mine!”
“Chu Kuangren is but just a single person. Let's kill him!”
“This Demonic Spear is destined to be mine!”
In the blink of an eye, tens of cultivators dashed out from the crowd.
Chu Kuangren glanced indifferently at their crazy looks and frowned slightly. “D*mn, this Demonic Weapon's seductive power is truly no joke.”
The fame of the Demonic Weapon was just but an undeserved reputation. If a person's Daoist core was not strong enough, they would succ.u.mb to the temptations of the spear and fall into an unknowing madness.
Chu Kuangren leaped forth and dived into the depths of the ravine before the others. Following that, he deployed his Nine Heaven Sword Prison!
Under the effects of the sword prison, every cultivators' movements were frozen in the void and one by one, they were killed by Chu Kuangren's Sword Qi!
“Chu Kuangren, hand over the Demonic Weapon!”
“That's right, it's not yours to take!”
“B*st*rd, you're already the lead disciple of a sage orthodoxy, not to mention you have amazing looks and many riches to your name. Why do you still want to fight over this Demonic Weapon with us? Are you really not willing to leave us anything?”
The remaining cultivators looked at Chu Kuangren and cursed.
Just then, a Battle Monarch cultivator stepped out from the crowd. As his body overflowed with spiritual power, a violent Daoist Rhyme then instantly burst forth.
“None shall stop me from getting this Demonic Weapon!” That Battle Monarch cultivator raised his palm toward Chu Kuangren and sent out a palm attack.
“Idiot!”
Chu Kuangren uttered calmly as swirls of Sword Qi released from his body and tore apart that palm attack, killing that cultivator right away!
After that, Chu Kuangren made a hand sign to manipulate and form the Earth Qi into an ancient sacred mountain before hurling it towards the remaining cultivators, sending all of them flying.
Once that was done, Chu Kuangren turned to look at the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse and reached out to grab it by the handle. However, the first touch was ice cold.
Boom!
The long spear trembled and let out an exploding surge of Demonic Qi!
“Yield!” Chu Kuangren urged forth the Four Supreme Foundations within his body and released a great amount of spiritual energy, which soon allowed him to suppress and overcome the Demonic Spear's power!
Even though it was a Sage Ruler Weapon, that spear was merely a weapon. If no one uses it, its full strength would not be unleashed.
Eventually, the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse no longer trembled and had its Demonic Qi retracted because by then, Chu Kuangren had completely suppressed it.
