"Sovereigns, I'm here!"

The ice-cold voice reverberated in the air above the Holy Ancestral Land.

Chu Kuangren's physical body had stepped foot inside the Holy Ancestral Land!

In an instant, streaks of terrifying Sovereign energy waves erupted in the ancestral land!

"How dare you! Who has the guts to wreak havoc at our holy land!"

"This n.o.body has come here to be dealt his own death!"

"Hmph. In so many years, no one has dared challenge the holiness of the Holy Light Religion. You have a death wish for stepping in here."

"Oh, you look to be an outlawed sky-ride as well. If it was in the outside world, we would not have been able to do anything to you because of the Emperor Road Law's restrictions. But since you're bold enough to step inside the Holy Ancestral Land, don't blame us for doing what we're about to do."

Indifferent voices rang out from every corner of the ancestral land.

Flashes of lights dashed out from those crushed palaces. The Sovereigns of the Holy Light Religion surfaced successively, their energies locking down on Chu Kuangren.

However, Chu Kuangren was seen leaping forward before vanis.h.i.+ng from his spot.

When he emerged again, he was already right beside Lan Yu.

"Spatial technique?!"

"Hmph, let's lock down the s.p.a.ce in this place."

"Even with spatial techniques, he won't be able to escape from this land."

Several Sovereigns made the first strike. Their Daoist Rhymes coursed and their spiritual power was unleashed, forming beams of white light that cordoned off the entire s.p.a.ce of the land.

Chu Kuangren was not bothered at all.

He looked at Lan Yu with his Eye of Revelation activated. After confirming that Lan Yu was unharmed, he nodded gently at her. "Glad that you're okay."

Back when Lan Yu first returned to the Holy Light Religion, he had already sensed something amiss. Hence, he left a streak of his sword qi on her body.

In retrospect, that seemed like a wise decision.

He also relied on the sword qi to find his way to this land.

"Everything was like you antic.i.p.ated, Master. The Holy Light Religion is up to no good," Lan Yu said, feeling more revered toward Chu Kuangren now.

The moment they reconciled, Chu Kuangren had already predicted that the Holy Light Religion was up to no good. Hence, he helped her patch up her technique and set up multiple precautionary measures…

Such insight had undoubtedly impressed Lan Yu.

"Chu Kuangren, how dare you trespa.s.s into the Holy Ancestral Land! Prepare to receive your death!!" Holy Light Religion Leader growled with a murderous intent burning in his eyes.

The Sovereigns on the ancestral land were not restricted by the Emperor Road Laws, so when Chu Kuangren decided to come in here, he had to face off against all the Sovereigns of the Holy Religion.

From the Holy Light Religion Leader's perspective, he would almost surely succ.u.mb to his death here.

Even someone as powerful as Chu Kuangren would not be able to overturn the inevitable!

"It is you who will die here today!"

"In this world, I'm still yet to find someone powerful enough to touch me. Today, not even a Holy Light Deity reincarnation would be able to save your a.s.ses."

Chu Kuangren's tone was stone-cold and mixed with extreme murderous intent.

His eyes were locked on the Holy Light Religion Leader.

With a step forward, the Descendant Self Sword was instantly drawn out of its sheath!

A dazzling and blinding flash of brilliance erupted.

The Holy Light Religion Leader, who was locked on by Chu Kuangren's sword ray, was terrified. He felt like he would not be able to evade this sword strike no matter which corner of the world he ran to.

The gap in power between them both was just way too big!

"No!"

The Holy Light Religion Leader screamed furiously. He then ama.s.sed all of his power, and the terrifying Holy Divine Fire was unleashed toward the incoming sword ray.

However, the sword ray merely swooped past it and divided the Divine Fire into two halves.

The Holy Light Religion Leader did not even have the time to react before he immediately let out a painful squeal. He was directly cut into half by the sword ray, and a mist of blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the pure white floor surface into a hue of red.

The Sovereigns at the scene stared wide-eyed.

They knew that none of them would have been able to block off that sword strike earlier.

"The Emperor Road has produced such a horrifying sky-pride?!"

"Scary stuff!"

"Go, kill him!"

Without hesitating any longer, the group of Sovereigns immediately made their move.

Huge amounts of white divine fire and violent Daoist Rhymes surged out with a force that could almost annihilate the world. They threw their combined attacks at Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu.

"Today, I shall ensure that the Holy Ancestral Land will be showered in a bloodbath!"

An incredibly powerful Daoist Rhyme erupted from Chu Kuangren's body. With the lift of his arm, tremendous Daoist Rhymes formed into Dao patterns and transformed into a vortex!

"Empyrean Maelstrom!"

One after another, the divine fires were engulfed by the vortex that nullified their firepower. However, a small part of them was converted into a sea of flame that gushed out from the vortex.

The vortex was like the mouth of a fire dragon, swallowing and spitting divine fire at the same time.

"No way!"

"What sorcery is this?!"

The Sovereigns were so shocked that they retreated. However, a few of them could not avoid getting scorched by the divine fire. As a result of the burns, they were charred black, looking disheveled.

Chu Kuangren's attack did not stop there.

Divine lights began circulating on his body, and his Three Great Supreme Daoist Physiques instantly unleashed at the same time. Soon, a kilometer-tall gigantic avatar was formed.

Ferocious qi, sword qi, Transcendental Might…

The energy of the Three Great Supreme Daoist Physiques coursed through the avatar, making it incredibly formidable.

Chu Kuangren had improved this Daoist Physique fusion technique of his while he was refining the Primeval Daoist Gem. Now, his powers were way more terrifying.

"Three types of Supreme Daoist Physique energies? D*mn!"

"Where did this freak of a sky-pride come from?!"

Even the mighty Sovereigns were fearful of him now.

Not only of his Daoist Physique energies, but they could also pick up the presence of Emperor qi from that avatar.

"This person in front of us has even cultivated Emperor qi."

"Not one, not three, but five strands?!"

"D*mn it. Everyone, let's combine forces!"

In fact, not more than a handful of Sovereigns in the Holy Ancestral Land could manage to cultivate as much Emperor qi as he had.

Not to mention a few strands of Emperor qi.

At this point, Chu Kuangren's combat strength had already surpa.s.sed the usual Sovereign.

"Divine Cosmos Illumination!"

A divine illumination lashed out from a Sovereign's body with colossal power, like the first light which shattered the primordial chaos at the inception of the realm.

Nevertheless, in face of this combined attack from the Sovereigns, the Divine Ferocious Avatar merely lifted an arm gently and punched toward them with its fist.

A loud blast rang out.

The divine illumination shattered, causing a mammoth surge of fist energy that contained sword qi and ferocious qi to envelop that Sovereign like a violent apocalyptic storm.

Even a Sovereign perished under such a scale of power!

"Divine Cosmos Illumination!"

"Divine Heavens Incineration!"

/strong>

"Divine Holy Annihilation Sword!"

One after the other, the Sovereigns all unleashed their respective ultimate moves. Those with Emperor qi even cast their Emperor qis. In the blink of an eye, all kinds of terrifying energy waves encased the Holy Ancestral Land, which made the whole ground and sky rumble.

"Lan Yu, get behind me."

Chu Kuangren said calmly.

Lan Yu did not dare to let her guard down. She set up a white s.h.i.+eld behind Chu Kuangren while remaining vigilant toward any possible ambush from their flanks.

"Roar!!"

The Divine Ferocious Avatar let out a furious growl.

The avatar swung his fists wildly, mobilizing its Daoist Physique energy and Emperor qi to its fullest potential. Gushes of terrifying energies kept colliding with each other.

The entire Holy Ancestral Land was almost ruined at this point.

Billows of smoke and myriad of energies shrouded the place, covering the light of the sky.

"Seems like this is all the Sovereigns of the Holy Ancestral Land have got."

Chu Kuangren's voice was heard from amongst the smoke.

The Divine Ferocious Avatar that he had unleashed was already broken, but the poise on his body did not show any sign of weakening. In fact, it became even more ferocious!

"How could he take such a scale of attack?"

"D*mn it. That was our full power!"

The Sovereigns were extremely petrified.

This was the first time they had encountered such an occurrence.

There was a sky-pride capable of intimidating a group of Sovereigns!

This was almost like a fever dream.

Since the inception of the Emperor Road, no one had ever managed such a feat!

"I never expected there would be an outlier like you in this Era of Great Battles. Young man, tell me your name."

Just then, an ancient voice was heard from the depths of the ancestral land.

Following that, a white beam of light shot up into the sky, where an incredibly majestic holy energy radiated.

An old man with golden hair slowly walked out from the light beam.

The people were delighted to see his appearance.

"It's the Chief Sovereign!"

"He has awoken from his slumber."

"This is great."
