Chapter 575: The Sword Daoist Escapes, The Divine Sword Of Four Mystical Elements
The powers of Four Mystical Elements and Four Seasons Sword Formation intersected, painting the entire sky with a rich display of colors.
Sword Daoist then noticed the sword emblems surrounded by Chu Kuangren’s twenty-four longswords in the middle. No matter how he tried to recall, the sword emblems would not budge.
“D*mn it! Chu Kuangren is trying to take my sword emblems away!”
Sword Daoist began to panic.
The sword emblems were resources that he had put in his heart and soul to acquire. They were key to his journey in pursuing the Four Mystical Sword Dao, so the consequences of losing it would be grave.
However, the Four Seasons Sword Formation was an Emperor-grade sword formation. Although it was not in its ultimate form, the sword formation was powerful enough to seal the sword emblems in its place. As such, it rendered Sword Daoist no control over them.
“D*mn it, d*mn it!”
Sword Daoist’s hatred for Chu Kuangren was reaching its limit.
Nevertheless, Sword Daoist understood that if he continued fighting, he would lose not only the sword emblems but his life too.
“Chu Kuangren, I’ll make sure you pay for this!”
Sword Daoist gritted his teeth and said. While Chu Kuangren was busy mobilizing the sword formation, the Sword Daoist turned into a ray of light and vanished into the distance.
Chu Kuangren wanted to give chase but was distracted by a sudden burst of terrifying Sword Dao energy from the sword emblems.
“Oh, it looks like I’ve gotten myself quite a decent treasure here.”
Chu Kuangren smiled and channeled his spiritual powers into the sword formation to gradually suppress the sword emblem’s power.
The rest of the Sword Tribe’s members wanted to flee as well but were halted by Swordsman Mei.
“Swordsman Mei, you traitor!”
“D*mn it, let’s kill her!”
The cultivators began to fight Swordsman Mei, and their intense sword qi scattered over the battlefield.
After Chu Kuangren managed to suppress the sword emblems and grasped them in his palm, he stared toward the Sword Tribe’s cultivators. With a wave of his sleeves, a barrage of sword qi rained over them.
Soon, the Sword Tribe’s cultivators perished under the sword qi rain. There was no way they could defend against the attack at all.
“Master, the Sword Daoist has escaped. What should we do now?”
Swordsman Mei said.
With the Sword Daoist’s departure, Swordsman Mei’s true identity would be exposed, and she could no longer return to the Sword Tribe.
“No matter. I’ll kill him the next time I see him. As for you, you can stay by my side for now.”
Chu Kuangren said. To him, the Sword Daoist was just a person to toy around with during his spare time.
When Chu Kuangren was bored, he could fool around with the Sword Daoist. Once he was tired of this game, he could simply kill the latter off.
In the face of true power, no one would have the chance to resist.
“Yes, Master.”
Swordsman Mei rejoiced when she heard she could stay by Chu Kuangren’s side.
“It looks like these sword emblems are quite precious. I’d love to refine them right away. Set up a protective spell over this area.”
Chu Kuangren said faintly.
After making the necessary arrangements, Chu Kuangren entered the palace and prepared himself to refine the sword emblems.
Sword Emperor Qingxuan’s corpse was long gone, likely taken away by the Sword Daoist.
If the Sword Daoist managed to refine the corpse, he would undoubtedly reap enormous benefits from it.
“Well, now I’m excited about our next encounter.”
Chu Kuangren murmured. Then, he averted his gaze to a pillar and noticed the words left by Sword Emperor Qingxuan.
“Even the Emperors have limited lifespan. Do Immortals really exist in this world?”
Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
Chu Kuangren felt it was possible for a lifeform greater than an Emperor to exist.
However, he did not dwell further on it as he began to refine the Four Mystical Sword Emblems.
The Four Mystical Sword Emblems were remarkable treasures. Hence, refining them would not be a simple feat, especially for the Wind and Earth Sword Emblems that Sword Daoist had been previously refined. If Chu Kuangren wished to refine them, he must first remove the spiritual thoughts imprints that the Sword Daoist had left.
Of course, these were not difficult matters for Chu Kuangren.
As he mobilized his spiritual thoughts, the imprints left by the Sword Daoist on the sword emblems began to disappear.
Somewhere far away, the escaping Sword Daoist’s face immediately turned white.
“Chu Kuangren has erased my imprints on the sword emblems. Curse you, Chu Kuangren!”
Chu Kuangren ground his teeth furiously. “I’ll be back once I refine all of the Sword Emperor’s inheritance!”
…
Chu Kuangren was refining the Four Mystical Sword Emblems in the Sword Emperor Qingxuan’s meditation chamber.
It was now seven days later.
A glamorous sword qi pillared into the sky. In it, there was an array of green, yellow, blue, and red lights. It was the energy of the Four Mystical Force!
The energies were so boundless and magnificent that everything in the vicinity shook.
Swordsman Mei and Jian Changfeng were outside the palace when it happened. They could feel their bodies trembling in its energy.
“How powerful! Is this the perfected energy of the Four Mystical Sword Emblems that the Sword Daoist spent his entire life searching for?”
“It is indeed powerful!”
Inside the palace.
Chu Kuangren gradually opened his eyes, and a colorful array of light flashed past his eyes.
He smiled in satisfaction.
“Not bad. The Four Mystical Sword Emblems are indeed such a remarkable treasure. Apart from granting me insights into the Four Mystical Sword Dao, they have also fused to form a divine power, the Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements!”
Here lay the true value of the Four Mystical Sword Emblems — the Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements.
The divine power was granted once a cultivator had successfully refined the Four Mystical Sword Emblems.
Divine power was a form of energy that surpassed that of a Daoist Technique.
Some divine powers were granted to a cultivator naturally at birth, while some were acquired after various encounters of Opportunities of Fortune and cultivations. Divine powers shared a similar concept with the Daoist Physiques.
Divine powers were generally categorized into minor divine powers, great divine powers, and supreme divine powers.
Just like Supreme Daoist Physiques, supreme divine powers were the rarest yet most powerful for a cultivator to possess.
Unlike a Daoist Technique, the magnitude of divine powers would grow in proportion to the cultivator’s strengths. The stronger a cultivator, the more deadly their divine powers would become.
The Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements was precisely a supreme divine power that was granted to Chu Kuangren!
Even if Chu Kuangren became an Emperor in the future, the Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements would still be a more useful asset for Chu Kuangren than Sword Emperor Qingxuan’s inheritance.
“Supreme divine power is just a term coined by the cultivators in Firmament Star. There must exist divine powers greater than the so-called supreme divine powers, such as my Eye of Revelation, a divine power far more sophisticated than most supreme divine powers. This is similar to my Immortal Body and Universal Cauldron Physiques, which are greater than all the Supreme Daoist Physiques.”
Chu Kuangren murmured. He felt that becoming an Emperor was never meant to be a cultivator’s final destination.
There were still far more unexplored territories in this world.
He looked at Sword Emperor Qingxuan’s words and muttered determinedly, “If the Emperors can’t live forever, then I must venture even further! If the Emperors can’t do it, then I’ll become one of the legendary Immortals! If even the Immortals can’t do it, then I shall become an entity far more powerful than them!”
Chu Kuangren got up and exited the palace.
Having long expected his appearance, Swordsman Mei and Jian Changfeng eagerly greeted him when he walked out the door. “Congratulations, Master, for completing the meditation.”
“Alright, let’s get up now. There’s nothing to dwell further here. Let’s go.”
Chu Kuangren said. Then, he lifted his palm and unleashed a torrential amount of spiritual energies.
The power of Four Mystical Elements was conjured into a relentless Four Mystical Elements Sword Shadow that cut through the black fog and surrounded the outer perimeters of the palace.
The sword qi pierced through the fog and instantly ripped the entire seal apart!
