“What kind of person was she during her lifetime?”

Such a thought could not help but pop up in Chu Kuangren's mind.

Just the Emperor's Aura that was emanating from her head alone was enough to engulf the whole unnamed island and made it extremely challenging for a group of Sages to approach.

If that was the case, then what kind of person was she when she was alive?

His eyes focused as he activated the Eye of Revelation.

When his gaze landed on that lady's head, only a small amount of information appeared. “Head of a Great Emperor, name – unknown, cultivation level – unknown, currently in an undead state, do handle with caution, Host…”

'What?'

'Undead state?'

'What kind of situation is this? Her head has already been cut off and every other part of her body is nowhere to be seen, yet it's still in an undead state?'

'But come to think of it, I have the Immortal Body ability too. So even if my head were to be blown off during battle, I can still recover and come back to life.'

'Doesn't that make me more bada.s.s than this woman then?'

He became relieved at that thought.

Chu Kuangren then took a look at the white-haired man.

“Heavenly WarG.o.d Sage Ruler, cultivation level – Boundary Emperor, currently in a deceased state…”

He was a Boundary Emperor.

Although a Boundary Emperor was still within the category of a Sage Ruler, the difference was similar to comparing an Honorable Supreme with a Boundary Sage, which was simply worlds apart. Chu Kuangren wondered how the strongest being beneath the level of an Emperor could die here.

He then channeled more spiritual power into his Eye of Revelation to a.n.a.lyze that Boundary Emperor deeper. “Amount of Daoist Rhyme preserved in his body – forty percent, time of death estimated to be around seventy thousand years ago, suspected to have gone mad to death…”

After a.n.a.lyzing for a while, Chu Kuangren did not immediately move those two… no, one and a half pieces of a corpse but started to check out the entire cottage instead.

He soon found a few items that were placed on the table inside the cottage. It was a wooden box, a booklet, and a broken bronze mirror.

Chu Kuangren then walked towards it and picked up the booklet first. Upon reading through it, a surprised look flashed across his face.

“A journal?”

That booklet was someone's journal.

“Although it's not good to go through someone else's journal, I suppose you won't mind, since you're already dead.” Chu Kuangren glanced at that white-haired man before flipping through that journal in his hand.

“I've failed again today. Although I'm already a Boundary Emperor, I can't seem to break through that final barrier. Does that mean that no one will ever become an Emperor during this Era of Dharma's End?”

“This woman is definitely an incredibly powerful being when she was alive, with such an immense Emperor's Aura from just her head alone. This is a tremendous Opportunity of Fortune for me. I can now regain hope of becoming an Emperor…”

“This is just too terrifying! I can't believe this woman is still alive! She's releasing some sort of fluctuations into the air as if sending some kind of signal…”

“She's here, that woman is here! Having lost her head, she has come to reclaim it from me! But I can't give it back to her yet for that's my only chance of becoming an Emperor. I fought with her, and perhaps because she has no head, she could not fully utilize her Emperor's combat strength. At the cost of damaging my Emperor Weapon, the Azure Magic Mirror, I am so fortunate to have escaped this great disaster…”

“I've come to the Outer Seas today. After finding an island, I placed several layers of enchanted boundaries to hide this island into the void, taking this opportunity to isolate it from the headless woman's senses. Hopefully, I'll be able to break through the next time we meet and I'll definitely return this head to her then…”

“Numerous Supreme Elixirs have been sprouting around the island recently and it must be due to the influence of that woman's head. the Emperor Realm is truly fascinating and mysterious…”

“Alright, that's it. I'm going to start my closed doors meditation today! This time, it's either I succeed or I die, I don't believe that no one can become an Emperor in this Era of Dharma's End!”

The Era of Dharma's End, where none could become an Emperor!

The journal came to an abrupt end after that.

The result of his closed-door meditation was clear. The Heavenly WarG.o.d Sage Ruler had failed in his attempt to break through the Emperor Realm by going mad, which led to his death.

As for Chu Kuangren, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine after reading that journal. The owner of that head, a headless woman, was still searching for her head!

'F*ck, it feels like I'm watching a horror movie.'

Chu Kuangren shuddered.

Then, he seemed to have realized something. “This island used to be hidden in the void, with multiple enchanted boundaries set up to prevent that headless woman from sensing it. If that's the case then… F*ck!”

Chu Kuangren's expression turned grim.

Since the island had reappeared above the Outer Seas, with no noticeable energy responses around it, did that mean that the barriers and enchanted boundaries had malfunctioned?

If that were the case, then that headless woman would most likely detect her head's presence once again and come here to look for it. If a Boundary Emperor could not deal with her, how could someone as weak as him possibly deal with her?

“This is bad. I have to find a way and do something.”

Chu Kuangren was anxious.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up with an idea. He then opened his inventory and brought out a talisman. “Starlight Grade talisman, the Forbidden Sealing Talisman is a talisman that can seal and suppress any unusual items. I'm not sure if this will work.”

That Forbidden Sealing Talisman was something he had obtained from the Fantasy Roulette. He did not know what that item was used for at first, but he figured that it might help in a situation like this.

He then walked towards the head, intending to place the talisman onto it. However, he halted for a while before he turned around and placed the journal, bronze mirror, and that mystery wooden box into his Yin and Yang Ring.

At the same time, he tossed in that Boundary Emperor's body as well.

After he was done with all that, he carefully walked towards the woman and placed that talisman on her head.

The moment his fingers came into contact with that woman's forehead, he felt a warm sensation that was similar to touching a living person.

Upon attaching the talisman, the woman's head started to twitch. From Chu Kuangren's perspective, he suddenly saw a hint of struggle on the emotionless face, which shocked him so much that he almost pulled out his Descendant Self Sword.

However, the woman's head turned calm and her face returned to an expressionless state once again. With that, the Emperor's Aura in his surroundings had started to disperse as well.

“It succeeded.”

Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up in delight as he kept that woman's head inside his Yin and Yang ring. Meanwhile, the Sages outside were initially taken aback when the Emperor's Aura disappeared, but their expressions soon changed.

“The Emperor's Aura is gone. It's definitely because of that kid.”

“What did he do inside?”

“Quick, we must go in and see!”

Being the one at the forefront, Eversodden Sage immediately rushed into the cottage. By the time he entered, Chu Kuangren had already kept all the valuables from that cottage, including the woman's head that was kept inside his Yin and Yang ring.

The Eversodden Sage's expression darkened upon seeing the empty cottage. “You better hand over the treasures, kid! Or I won't let you ever leave this island!”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “Threatening me huh?”

“So what if I am?”

“Heh, feel free to try then.”

Chu Kuangren was not afraid either.

His opponent was only a Great Sage after all, not that he was unfamiliar with fighting one.

“Then don't blame me if I do!”

“Daylight Ripple Palm!”

The Eversodden Sage immediately raised his hand and unleashed a palm attack. A violent palm qi which contained a surge of Daoist Rhyme akin to a raging tsunami instantly erupted!

That palm attack created waves of ripples in the void.

Chu Kuangren unleashed a palm attack as well.

An incredibly devastating human mountain energy erupted!

The impact created by the collision of two Daoist Rhymes swept outward, instantly destroying the cottage which had been rid of the Emperor's Aura's suppression. The shockwave had blasted the Sages outside the cottage back several steps too.

“They've started to fight!”

“I guess that kid did take away all the treasures inside. Hmph, this is the Outer Seas, did he think he can take the treasures away just like that? When were things that easy?”

“Did he think the Eversodden Sage would let him slip away?”
