Chapter 461: The Sky-prides Become Sages In Succession, Xiao Jingchen’s Challenge

Inside the Illusive Mirage.

Chu Kuangren was currently observing the White-Robed General’s condition.

Even if the White-Robed General had broken free, the ferocious qi within him was still depleting continuously. It had slowed down a lot since then, but it had yet to stop.

“White-Robed General, one of the three kings in the Ancient Battlefield…”

Chu Kuangren used the Eye of Revelation to check his condition. “The foundation within his body has suffered damage. Innate ferocious qi depletion is imminent. Physical body weakening and dying. If no countermeasures are implemented, the time of death is estimated to be around seven days from now…”

Chu Kuangren frowned upon receiving the information from the Eye of Revelation.

‘Seven days. He only has seven days to live?’

‘Hmm…What should I do?’

Chu Kuangren pondered deeply.

“Brother Chu, I’m well aware of my current condition. Before I pass on, I wish to see my descendant one last time, is that alright with you?”

The White-Robed General requested. His expression was calm, as if he was not bothered at all by the fact that he was going to die in a few days.

To him, he was already a dead man. It was only because of the secret technique the Lou King’s princess had used to keep him alive that he could still roam the realm until this day. Now, his only wish was to see his descendants one last time.

They were his and her descendants after all…

“I won’t reject your request to meet them. However, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to see them in this current state of yours.”

“A single glance will suffice for me.”

“Stop joking. Focus on getting better for now, and we’ll talk about this after that.”

“This body of mine is like a candle in the wind. Nothing can heal me anymore,” the White-Robed General replied with a wry smile.

“If I say it’s possible, then it’s possible.”

Chu Kuangren replied. He then took out a black altar that swirled with innate ferocious qi and a strange aura.

“Let’s take a gamble. This Innate Ferocious Altar was used by Daoist Sha to increase his foundation levels. Since your foundation level has been damaged, perhaps this item might be of use to you. If something bad were to happen, it wouldn’t be as bad as your current situation.”

Chu Kuangren explained.

The White-Robed General hesitated for a while and looked at the Innate Ferocious Altar. Then, he took a deep breath and replied, “Very well. I’ll try it then!”

Being the great general who was always decisive in battle, he stood up and walked towards the Innate Ferocious Altar once he decided to give it a try.

As if sensing something approaching, the four black pillars on the altar shook and emitted a faint black light.

Following that, all the innate ferocious qi within that altar gushed out towards the White-Robed General before it seeped into his limbs and bones.

Even someone like him could not help but let out a muffled grunt from the pain.

Countless innate ferocious qi penetrated his body. During that process, his physical body was modified, while his foundation was restructured.

Such a modification process was extremely brutal as even the White-Robed General himself had no idea how to gain control of it. He could only let the innate ferocious qi go on a rampage within his body, breaking apart and rebuilding it from scratch.

“Shall we stop?” Chu Kuangren uttered. He was already prepared to use his mind power to pull the White-Robed General away from the altar at any moment.

However, the White-Robed General stretched out his hand to signal and said, “No, there’s no need. Although these innate ferocious qi are violent, I can feel that… It’s working!!”

Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation. “White-Robed General, foundation recovery in process, physique modification in process, overall completion status – one percent…”

“It seems like luck is on my side here. That gamble was the right call after all.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

Based on the rate of progress, the White-Robed General would require at least half a month to recover fully. In other words, he would have to endure the pain and suffering of being reshaped and modified for half a month — a feat that would be unbearable for most ordinary cultivators.

However, when Chu Kuangren noticed the determination in the White-Robed General’s eyes, he knew that the time required would not be a problem at all.

The White-Robed General’s willpower was not something an ordinary cultivator could compete with.

“Best of luck. I hope that when we meet half a month later, you’ll be as good as new!”

Chu Kuangren said.

After that, he activated the Illusive Mirage’s defensive forcefield and placed multiple runic seals to conceal the whole fairy boat within the void.

“Next, I shall enter the final stage to unlock this seal.”

Chu Kuangren murmured.

He gave Lan Yu complete control over the Illusive Mirage and went into one of the lofts to start his closed-door meditation. He was prepared to fully unlock the seal within him.

Meanwhile, the Firmament Star was extremely lively during this period.

After Xiao Jingchen became a Sage, the Nine Heavens sky-prides also went and ascended into Sages in succession. It was as if they had agreed beforehand, and each of them caused quite the sensation as well.

Each of the heavenly tribulations they underwent was extremely powerful.

Two amongst them had the same Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulations Xiao Jingchen, which shocked most of Firmament Star.

Those two were Wang Tianteng, who was ranked fourth on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard, and Zhan Hongying, who returned to the second rank after becoming a Sage!

The two of them were unprecedented sky-prides in their own ways. Having gone through the Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation to ascend into a Sage, their accomplishments were no less than Xiao Jingchen.

Besides those three, there were a few other sky-prides who deserved to be known as well. Among them was Daoist Sha, who was ranked sixth on the leaderboard. He became a Sage in the Ancient Battlefield with the power of ferocious qi. Although his heavenly tribulation was not seven-colored, what he went through was still incredibly terrifying and no weaker than one as well.

However, some of the sky-prides who went through their heavenly tribulations and had become Boundary Sages before were not to be outdone as well. All of them had broken through to a Sage with the help of various Opportunities of Fortune and treasures.

As the sky-pride Sages appeared one after another, the Sages of the older generations were thrown out of the spotlight. They were reduced as tools for the new Sages to challenge and gain fame for themselves. As such, their lives were very miserable.

On this day, a piece of news broke out to the Firmament Star!

It was from the Heavenly Golden Palace!

A great voice suddenly erupted from a mountain peak.

“I, Xiao Jingchen, wish to invite Chu Kuangren to a showdown at Skyquake Mountain three days from now. I also humbly request that Chu Kuangren accept this challenge and arrive on time!!”

The cultivators were stunned upon hearing the voice, and they immediately went to spread the word. Soon, everyone in the whole Firmament Star knew about this.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

Xiao Jingchen wanted to challenge Chu Kuangren!

He wanted to challenge Chu Kuangren, who single-handedly wiped out the whole Craggy Ocean Tower!

That battle attracted the attention of many great ones.

“Xiao Jingchen’s Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique is many times stronger compared to Xiao Lintian. Besides, he ascended through a Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation to become a Sage. Perhaps, he might stand a chance to contend with Chu Kuangren.”

“That’s right. Chu Kuangren is under the Heavenly Punishment Seal, so he can only use his runic techniques. By the looks of it, Xiao Jingchen stands a great chance of winning.”

“Interesting…”

“Where is Chu Kuangren? What’s his response to this?”

Just when everyone was excited about Xiao Jingchen’s challenge to Chu Kuangren, another sky-pride spoke out.

This time, it was the Ancient Battlefield’s Daoist Sha. He, too, wished to challenge Chu Kuangren.

Everyone was incredibly shocked to hear this.

Xiao Jingchen’s challenge was understandable. After all, he was an ancient sky-pride from the Heavenly Golden Palace, a sect that had a deep grudge against Chu Kuangren. Hence, it made sense for him to challenge the latter.

However, why did Daoist Sha want to challenge Chu Kuangren?!

Inside the Ancient Battlefield.

Daoist Sha was sitting inside a palace with resentment seething from his gaze. Compared to Xiao Jingchen, he despised Chu Kuangren even more!

He had investigated thoroughly and found out that his Innate Ferocious Altar was stolen by Chu Kuangren, which prevented his foundation from reaching its maximum potential.

He had the opportunity to build a Seventh Grade Sage Foundation at first, but he only had five because of Chu Kuangren.

The difference was only two grades, but the potential, talent, and capability between those two grades were worlds apart. It was only normal for Daoist Sha to hate Chu Kuangren.

In fact, he hated him to the very core of his being!!

He could not wait to break his opponent limb by limb and skin him alive.
