The calm smile on the White Lotus Maiden Sage slowly faded. She eyed him one last time before saying, “We… We shall retreat!”

“Maiden!” The White Lotus Bachelor Sage was unwilling to take this lying down.

He had lost an arm thanks to Chu Kuangren, yet not only was the White Lotus Maiden Sage indifferent about it, but she wanted to forfeit the sage's corpse as well?

How could he accept this?

“Shut up.” the White Lotus Maiden Sage let out a rare, soft cough.

Chu Kuangren was simply too powerful.

Even if a Maiden Sage like her struck back, it would change nothing. It was better to retreat to prevent any more losses.

“Wise choice,” Chu Kuangren said emotionlessly.

“To give up without even trying isn't my style! No matter what, I'm giving this a shot,” proclaimed Yuanhong from the Dharma Sect.

Trailed behind him were four followers from the Dharma Sect, thrusting their hands out.

The four soon surrounded Chu Kuangren, with each specializing in a different technique. In an instant, four distinct Daoist Rhymes filled the battlefield.

It was a powerful combination attack.

“Dharma's Four Mystical Arts!”

Those that recognized it went wide-eyed with shock.

The Dharma Sect was known for its variety of techniques since they dabbled in many of them, but only a few were well known.

The 'Four Mystical Arts' was one of them.

Four people would work together to channel the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, creating a surge of power which was much greater than the four individually; it was very famous in the Firmament Star.

“Earth!”

The word earth was cast and a mountain appeared in the sky.

“Wind!”

The raging winds blew in between the sky and the land.

“Water!”

The sound of cras.h.i.+ng waves in a vast ocean appeared from the void.

“Fire!”

A horrifying flame burst forth and burned the skies.

The four Dharma Sect Daoists channeled their techniques as four distinct Daoist Rhymes and combined them into a terrifyingly powerful force that headed straight for Chu Kuangren.

However, Chu Kuangren stood there, unmoving and expressionless. It was as if the terrifying force that was directed at him was nothing more than a summer's breeze.

“Chu Kuangren, eat this!”

“No one has ever come out unscathed after being hit by the Four Mystical Arts. You won't be an exception!”

With that, the four Daoists let out their attack. The four elements had formed a torrent of colors that burst forth beautifully at that moment.

“Fancy stuff.” Chu Kuangren let out a humorless laugh.

As he stepped on the ground lightly, a terrifying sword Qi burst out from his body like a tsunami.

In the blink of an eye, the Four Mystical Arts shattered.

Under the sword Qi's immense power, the four Dharma Sect's Daoists too were blown away like a broken kite.

The rest of the sky-prides were dumbfounded by what they saw.

They were not shocked by the fact that Chu Kuangren could break the Four Mystical Arts, but rather, he made it look so effortless!

All he did was step on the ground!

Was he mocking them?

“When did the Dharma Sect's Four Mystical Arts become so weak? This is a sage technique, isn't it?”

“It is. It merges the four elements into one technique. It's closer to a Great Sage Technique if anything.”

“The Four Mystical Arts aren't weak. It's just that Chu Kuangren is too powerful. A handful of the Dharma Sect's Daoists was never a match for him.”

“No need for fancy moves, just his sword Qi alone is unbearably terrifying and lethal! Chu Kuangren is truly a scary one.”

Yuanhong, who had not moved at all, suddenly exploded when he saw the Four Mystical Arts shatter. The horrifying Daoist Rhyme that had been brewing within him for the longest time burst forth at that moment.

“Transcendent Coalescence!” Yuanhong roared, and the aura of heaven and earth surged into a torrent of brilliant colors.

The coalescence seemed to be a result of multiple cultivated techniques as it was fused with various Daoist Rhymes. It was extremely powerful yet breathtaking.

Standing at the side, Gu Changge fiercely made his move too. “Brother Yuanhong, I shall a.s.sist!”

With a punch, the phantom of a golden dragon emerged from his fist alongside his Daoist Rhyme and its roar echoed as it headed straight for Chu Kuangren.

Transcendent Coalescence and Dragon Slaughter Fist were all mysterious Sage Techniques that were specifically for offensive attacks. Hence, the power that came from the two highly esteemed sky-prides made everyone tense up.

Even Lei Ao was acting cautiously.

“Human Mountain Stamp!” Chu Kuangren stood still from where he was. He merely raised his hand to gather the spiritual energy before manifesting a terrifying mountain.

When the three forces collided, they exploded into colorful, dazzling waves of energy.

However, the force from the explosion sent Yuanhong and Gu Changge flying, with blood spitting out of their mouths before they landed on the floor.

Chu Kuangren's white robe fluttered in the wind while he watched the colorful explosions. “It's like setting off fireworks.”

Yuanhong and Gu Changge almost vomited blood again at his words.

Fireworks?

They had put all their power into that attack, yet barely scratched him. Not to mention how infuriating it was that he called it nothing more than a firework!

Behind Chu Kuangren, even Nangong Huang and company's mouths twitched. Their Elder Senior Brother's words were shocking.

No one was spared from his harsh words, not even the sky-prides.

Still… it felt exhilarating!

Nangong Huang and Murong Xuan felt nothing but joy as they watched the other sky-prides get tortured by Chu Kuangren.

“Chu Kuangren!” Gu Changge glared hatefully at him, unwilling to take this loss.

Since Chu Kuangren defeated him in the Black Heaven Sect last time, he had been resting and recovering his Daoist's core. With great devotion to his cultivation and help from various treasures, he finally ascended to the Paradise Realm.

He believed that this would close the gap between their abilities.

To think that the gap only grew!

Last time, he was struck down by Chu Kuangren in a single blow. This time, both he and another sky-pride on the same level were defeated instead!

Beside him, Yuanhong's face filled with bitterness.

Anyone would feel despair when faced with such a defeat.

“How could this be?!”

“This was supposed to be a great battle. Stars like us should be s.h.i.+ning bright! But why is he so much stronger than us?!” The White Lotus Bachelor Sage was unwilling to accept such a result.

Chu Kuangren glanced at him before simply saying, “You're not wrong. Indeed, this is a great battle!”

“The only catch is that it's me against all of you!”

Many of the sky-prides trembled in shock.

On the other hand, Nangong Huang and Murong Xuan looked like crazed wors.h.i.+ppers.

He waged war on all the sky-prides!

He waged war against the world!

Lei Ao was dumbfounded too.

This b*stard was being so arrogant!

He was crazier than a Young Emperor like him!

Chu Kuangren had already locked his gaze onto Lei Ao by the time he regained his senses. “You're the b*stard that hurt my junior brothers, aren't you?”

He took one look at Nangong Huang's injuries and knew that only Lei Ao's overbearing thunderclap Daoist Rhyme could have been responsible.

“You want revenge?” Lei Ao spat coldly. His solemn eyes stared ahead as his body pulsed alertly with electricity.

“Very much so. I also want to slice you up!”

Chu Kuangren then made his move.

With a wave of the Descendant Self Sword, the mighty sword ray burst forth, and Lei Ao was forced to focus and deal with it.

The moment the Black Wings of Lightning scattered about, the Black Water Falling Thunder exploded.

The sword ray and lightning collided.

Immediately, everyone could see a silhouette shoot across the sky before it landed on a distant mountain, coughing blood.

The battered and bruised body was Young Emperor Lei Ao.

“Is someone like you worthy of being a Young Emperor?”
