With the help of the Emperor Weapons, the power of Xiao Jingchen's avatar increased substantially. Every move it made felt like the Heavenly Imperial might descend and reign over the human realm!

The Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique is impressive, but you're just too weak!"

Chu Kuangren said coldly.

With a step forward, the Divine Ferocious Avatar formed from the combination of his Three Great Supreme Daoist Physiques lashed out another punch, blasting the Heavenly Imperial Avatar back once more.

This time, a crack appeared on the Heavenly Imperial Avatar.

At the side, Sha Wushe saw how things had gone awry and decided that it was best not to stay on any longer. Hence, he withdrew his avatar, turned around, and tried to flee.

"I can't believe such a scary outside world sky-pride exists. This is too terrifying. Chu Kuangren has truly lived up to his name."

There was still a remnant of astonishment in Sha Wushe.

When he was fleeing, he turned to have one last look at Chu Kuangren. The invincible poise that his nemesis had was already etched deep in his mind.

Yet, to his shock, he suddenly noticed that Chu Kuangren was looking back at him too. His gaze on him was incredibly cold, as though he was staring at a dead man.

"You think you get to come to battle and leave whenever you want? You can't have it both ways," Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

A four-colored light was seen circulating within his hand, where a towering sword shadow that contained a majestic Four Mystical force suddenly slashed out!

"Uh oh."

Sha Wushe's expression changed abruptly.

That sword shadow came cras.h.i.+ng toward him menacingly. The colossal spiritual power fluctuation was especially petrifying for Sha Wushe, who s.h.i.+vered in fear.

"Ferocious qi, thousand army!!"

Sha Wushe let out a loud battle cry, giving his all to block off the attack.

However, under such a heavy blow, his ferocious qi could do little to withstand the hit and was instantly torn apart. The sword shadow struck his body, and thousands of sword qi blasted and wreaked havoc upon his body. It almost fulminated him into a human sludge.

With just one sword strike, Sha Wushe was pushed to the verge of death.

Just then, a ray of green light suddenly gleamed inside his body. A vast bout of life energy imploded inside him, healing his wounds at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed and pulling him back from the edge of demise.

Having survived through sheer fortune, Sha Wushe did not dare to delay his stay there any longer. He mustered what seemed like the entirety of his spiritual power reserve and gave everything to escape his enemy.

Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised at what he saw. "Oh, a Totem of Undying."

Not that it mattered to him anyway because he had already thoroughly a.n.a.lyzed his target's ident.i.ty. As such, he could take his own sweet time and get back at him anytime in the future.

"Let's finish you off first."

Chu Kuangren looked toward Xiao Jingchen.

The Divine Ferocious Avatar behind him then threw out two or three more punches, brutally smas.h.i.+ng Xiao Jingchen's Heavenly Imperial Avatar into smithereens.

"How is this possible?!"

Xiao Jingchen's face was filled with disbelief.

"I have Great Emperor Moxuan's inheritance. My Heavenly Imperial Physique should, logically speaking, dominate everyone with ease. H-how did it end up this way?!"

"This is not supposed to happen. It's absolutely not sound!"

Xiao Jingchen cried out in anguish.

The Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique was the second-ranked physique in the whole world. The sheer atrocity its combat strength offered surpa.s.sed any counterpart in the same realm. Yet, how did Chu Kuangren manage to blast right through it so effortlessly? This did not make sense!!

"As I said, you're too weak," Chu Kuangren responded nonchalantly. After that, the Divine Ferocious Avatar behind him reached out and grabbed Xiao Jingchen.

As consternation filled his opponent's eyes, Chu Kuangren gripped his fingers hard to form a fist. With a loud crack, his opponent's body was crushed, and blood mist burst out everywhere.

The Heavenly Imperial Physique had fallen!

Then, Chu Kuangren glanced down at those sky-prides who were still busy getting their hands on the treasures, and an astounding surge of energy instantly erupted from him.

Every sky-pride was flabbergasted by the sudden burst of energy. They felt like their bodies were pressed down by tens of thousands of mountains, rendering them unable to move.

"That's some terrifying energy."

"He has even destroyed the Heavenly Imperial Physique. Is this guy invincible? It just doesn't seem like anyone who can stop him now."

"Sigh. Even if Qin Tianchen is here, I reckon there is still no guarantee he could beat this guy. How the h.e.l.l can such a freak exist in this world?"

The people looked at Chu Kuangren with horror in their eyes.

To them, the outlawed sky-prides were already an unattainable existence, yet they were utterly crushed in the hands of Chu Kuangren.

This man's combat strength was just too outrageous.

"I'll repeat it one more time. All these treasures in the Ancient Lavish Cave are mine. If any of you still refuse to leave this place, the only way out for you is to die!!"

Chu Kuangren's voice rang in everybody's eardrums.

n.o.body dared to argue with him.

If they wished to stay alive, they could only leave this place, albeit resentfully.

Even the sky-prides from archaic ancient orthodoxies were no exception.

Very soon, the entire Ancient Lavish Cave became extremely quiet. Chu Kuangren then brought Lan Yu and the other few people for treasure-hunting.

This Ancient Lavish Cave had already erupted four consecutive times. The thousands of treasures that were released contained no less than Emperor-grade treasures.

The number of Opportunities of Fortune that could be found here was almost beyond imagination.

Now, all of these belonged to Chu Kuangren.

Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the rest of the group felt rather ecstatic at the prospect of this.

"Holy smokes, Brother Chu, aren't you too scary?"

Chi Yue gulped. She and Leng Ningyu had what could be considered a kins.h.i.+p with Chu Kuangren, so they got their shares of the good stuff as well.

Although the things they got were no match to Chu Kuangren's, they had still greatly benefited from this.

As for the Holy Light Religion, Chu Kuangren did not chase all of them away to save Lan Yu some face. Hence, they had gotten quite a few goodies too.

Nevertheless, they still harbored great envy toward Chu Kuangren.

The things that they got were far too inferior compared to Chu Kuangren's.

They were only given a puny fraction of the pile.

"Um, my dear Maiden Sage, you have a close relations.h.i.+p with Brother Chu, right? Could you, by any chance, get him to portion out some of the ancient caves for us?" The Third Elder walked up to her and said.

Upon hearing that, Lan Yu replied, "I'm in no position to make such a bargain, dear Elder. Those are all Master's properties now. It's down to him who he wants to give them to."

"Maiden Sage, this Opportunity of Fortune is way too huge to let go of. Could you please negotiate for us, for the Holy Light Religion?" The Third Elder was not about to give up just yet.

"Just follow whatever Master says."

Seeing how Lan Yu repeatedly referred to him as Master, Third Elder started to grow a little annoyed. Despite that, he forced himself to suppress his anger.

A look of disgust was expressed in his gaze.

Pfft.

She was just an outsider, after all. She would never take care of them regardless.

It seemed like their plan had to be brought forward.

The Third Elder swept a glance at Bai Tianxing, who was staring back at him. The latter did not look too pleasant either.

They had been greatly humiliated by Chu Kuangren today.

The treasures that poured out from the Ancient Lavish Cave became lesser and lesser. In just a few hours, the activity in the caves reduced to none.

This great Opportunity of Fortune was officially drawn to a close.

Chu Kuangren was arranging the loot that he had gotten from this place when suddenly, his eyes fell on a colorful insignia amongst the myriad of treasures.

That insignia contained mysterious Daoist Rhymes.

"This is the Divine Pardon Order!"

Chi Yue, who was beside him, could not hold back her surprise.

"Oh, so this is the Divine Pardon Order that they were talking about."

Chu Kuangren flipped the insignia around in his palms.

Legend had it that the Sovereigns on Emperor Road were cast a restriction owing to the Emperor Road Laws. With that, they were each bound to their ancestral lands, not allowed to travel anywhere their heart desired.

The Divine Pardon Order was a treasure from the Forbidden Barren Wastelands, and it could remove the Emperor Road's prohibition, setting the Sovereigns free again!

In other words, this thing had no use at all to Chu Kuangren. Yet to the Sovereigns, it was a dream of a treasure.

"Brother Chu, I'm willing to trade all those treasures that I've looted for that Divine Pardon Order that you're holding right now. What do you say?"

Chi Yue proposed.

With this Divine Pardon Order, the Seven Emotions Sect would add another restrictionless Sovereign to their ranks, which was an important prospect for their sect.

"This Divine Pardon Order serves no use for me, so no harm giving it to the Seven Emotions Sect." Chu Kuangren nodded.

Once he became a Sovereign in the future, he would never be restricted as the Emperor Road's prohibition only worked on those Sovereigns who had reached the age of nine thousand and above.

As for Chu Kuangren, not to mention nine thousand years old, even nine years was a very long time for him.

If it took him that long to become an Emperor with his physical attributes and resources, he would surely hit himself hard on the head.
