Chapter 341: Battling A Seventh-Step Great Sage, The Powerful Immortal Body
The Scaled King watched in awe as a man emerged from the Bottomless Chasm.
He recognized the person.
In fact, he was even more familiar with the Golden Halberd that the person was wielding. Like the Sea King’s Halberd, it was one of the legendary weapons depicted in the clan’s history.
Wielding the Golden Halberd, Bei Mingxiu was said to be an unprecedented genius within the Scaled Tribe. Only he possessed the ability to fully utilize the power of the Golden Halberd, and when Bei Mingxiu left, he took the divine weapon away with him.
Although this later made several generations of Scaled Kings unhappy, the current Scaled King felt a sense of ease seeing the weapon in his predecessor’s hand.
As long as Bei Mingxiu was there, Chu Kuangren will definitely die!
At least that was what the Scaled King thought.
“Bei Mingxiu, the Fourth King of the Scaled Tribe, one of the Seven Great Chasm Dwellers. He’s a Seventh-Step Peak Great Sage and has cultivated an incomplete form of an Emperor Technique — Northern Abyss Dark Water Technique, a Sage Ruler Technique — Halberd of Ocean Destruction, a Sage Ruler Technique…”
Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation to analyze Bei Mingxiu’s background.
Seventh-Step Peak Great Sage?
Bottomless Chasm?!
Chu Kuangren’s eyes turned solemn. Although he had never heard of the Bottomless Chasm, he recognized that it must be a unique location considering it was where a Seventh-Step Great Sage was residing.
“Is it one of the unknown lands?”
Chu Kuangren murmured to himself. None of the sage orthodoxies within Firmament Star ever had a Seventh-Step Peak Great Sage like Bei Mingxiu. Even to have one ordinary Great Sage was considered indomitable.
The only explanation left was that the Bottomless Chasm was simply an unknown land!
It was only in mysterious territories could such a formidable cultivator reside in!
“Where’s the current Scaled King?”
Just then, Bei Mingxiu asked firmly.
The Scaled King immediately stepped forward and greeted politely, “Greetings, King Bei Mingxiu. I’m Bei Mingpeng, the Eleventh King of the Scaled Tribe.”
Bei Mingxiu said, “You’ve opened the door to the Bottomless Chasm and summoned me here. Is the clan in danger?”
“Indeed. We’ve been intruded on by a thief who killed millions of our members and a few Sages as well. King Bei Mingxiu, please help us in eradicating this villain!” the Scaled King said furiously.
Bei Mingxiu looked towards Chu Kuangren and when he noticed the mountains of corpses that were surrounding the latter’s figure, his face turned grim. “How dare you kill so many of my people? Your crime can only be punished with death!”
Bei Mingxiu leaping forward and landed in front of Chu Kuangren, where he activated his destructive Great Sage Daoist Rhymes as he prepared to strike at Chu Kuangren.
Then, Bei Mingxiu felt that his Golden Halberd was vibrating as if it had sensed the presence of another entity. This surprised Bei Mingxiu. “Is our Sea King’s Halberd with you?!”
“So what if it is?”
“Hmph, not only have you killed so many of our people, but you’ve even taken the Sea King’s Halberd. I shall obliterate you today!” Bei Mingxiu said. With a light wave of his Golden Halberd, a surge of devastating torrential force and Daoist Rhymes gushed towards Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren could sense the enormous threat that was packed into his move. Not wanting to tread carelessly, he immediately plucked the strings of his guqin and played the Grand Melodic Void, the final movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords!
When the two Daoist Rhymes collided, Chu Kuangren was still struck by the torrential force, albeit the majority of it was deflected by his Chu Kuangren’s forcefield.
‘Hmm? Strange. The forcefield can deflect most of my torrential force. It seems like that’s the reason why this land person can thrive and unleash his full combat strength in such deep waters.’ Bei Mingxiu thought to himself.
However, he did not feel troubled at all. With the Golden Halberd in his hands and his Seventh-Step Great Sage cultivation level, Bei Mingxiu did not believe he could be threatened by a non-Sage.
“Halberd of Ocean Destruction, First Form!” Bei Mingxiu wielded his Golden Halberd, unleashing an even destructive torrential wave, but he did not stop there.
“Second Form, Third Form…”
With each move, Bei Minghan unleashed powers that were even deadlier than the previous form. It was as if he was stacking the previous form’s power onto the next.
At its Ninth Form, the nine-stacked power had reached a level that was so incomprehensible that the terrifying power of its Daoist Rhymes could rip the entire ocean apart!
As the power of his last halberd form was unleashed, it transformed into a vast torrential force that charged at Chu Kuangren. With such power, Chu Kuangren’s Water Evasion Pearl may not be enough to shield him.
The terrifying Daoist Rhyme heavily injured Chu Kuangren. Chunks of his torso were shattered by the torrent while his blood, bones, and organs exploded into the ocean.
The Scaled Tribe members were delighted at such a sight.
“The Fourth Scaled King does live up to his reputation. That energy was so strong and terrifying. With the Golden Halberd, his combat strengths are equivalent to the legendary Sage Rulers, and that’s very powerful.”
Bei Minghuan said in shock.
The rest of the clan members were also filled with admiration.
However, the Scaled King was staring at the Golden Halberd in envy. He attributed most of Bei Mingxiu’s strength to the power of that legendary weapon.
After all, that was a Boundary Emperor Weapon!
“Hmph, I could finish you in one halberd strike!”
Bei Mingxiu snorted softly, his face written in pride.
“So this is the power of someone close to becoming a Sage Ruler. How impressive indeed. There’s not much difference between your abilities and Sage Rulers of the Ancient Battlefield.”
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.
Although most of his torso had been decimated, he was still as composed as usual. It was as if the body that had been destroyed did not belong to him.
He could still make light commentaries about Bei Mingxiu’s abilities, which made many spectators lost for words.
‘What now? Did Chu Kuangren venture deep into the Ancient Battlefield and cross paths with Sage Rulers?!’
‘This b*stard surely goes anywhere he wants.’
“Hold on, something’s not right. Look!”
Bei Minghuan suddenly yelled in shock.
They were surprised to see Chu Kuangren’s body recovering at a rapid rate. Within seconds, his once decimated upper body had recovered its previous form!
The spectators were utterly dumbfounded.
“W-what technique is that?!”
“How did he do that?!”
They were all staring at Chu Kuangren like a monster.
They knew the existence of recovery techniques, but it was their first time seeing a cultivator healing at such an abnormal rate.
“Could he possess the Immortal Body?!”
One of the Scaled Tribe members said.
“No, that’s impossible. There’s no such thing as an Immortal Body in this world. I’d love to see just how many times you can recover before your eventual death!”
Not believing in the Immortal Body, Bei Mingxiu gripped tightly onto his Golden Halberd and once again struck it at Chu Kuangren.
However, Chu Kuangren still showed no signs of weakness in the face of the Seventh-Step Great Sage, who wielded the Golden Halberd and was close to becoming an actual Sage Ruler!
Activating his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, Infallible Tormented Physique, Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique, and the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art, Chu Kuangren’s combat strengths increased tremendously.
Boom!
The Self Descendant Sword and the Golden Halberd crossed each other, creating massive ripples on the ocean’s surface as their terrifying Daoist Rhymes intertwined with one another and released a colorful display of light.
Chu Kuangren was blasted several hundred meters back. He immediately regained his composure before releasing surges of sword qi, which transformed into countless sword qi clones that charged out in all directions.
