Chapter 650: Let Your Day Of Ascensions Mark Your Death Day, Live In My Shadow
Silence!
Just dead silence!
Millions of cultivators outside the Emperor Mountain gaped.
No one knew how an Emperor, who had cultivated a High-grade Emperor’s Core, could be defeated by Chu Kuangren in one move!
One move was all it took to turn him into a pitiful mess!
“Chu Kuangren has… He has ascended into Emperorhood!”
One of the cultivators gasped and said in disbelief.
The rest had also made a similar observation. Hot discussions immediately took place all over the crowd as they stared at Chu Kuangren.
Emperor! Chu Kuangren had become an Emperor!
“How’s it possible? All nine Emperor Thrones have been taken by someone else. How did he ascend into an Emperor?”
“Indeed, this is completely unheard of.”
“Hold on, do you remember the archive stating that there’s one more way to ascend…”
Upon recalling an important fact, the Sovereigns gasped in horror.
Meanwhile, Qin Tianchen lifted his head in disbelief. “Affirming one’s Dao through strength alone! You’ve ascended through strength alone. This… How’s this possible?!”
How could someone in this era affirm their Dao through strength alone?
Besides, Chu Kuangren was previously trapped in the Slumbering Emperor Coffin.
How could he affirm his Dao through strength alone in that wicked place?!
The matter had far exceeded Qin Tianchen’s understanding.
“Trying to bully my people while I was absent? You people are truly testing the limits of my patience.”
“Well, in that case, you’re not going anywhere. Today’s the day you’ve ascended into Emperors, a joyful occasion indeed. Then, let this day also be your death day.”
Chu Kuangren said lightly. After that, he leaped forward, and his mighty Emperor Aura had already locked onto Qin Tianchen and the other Emperors.
“Attack!”
Sha Wushe yelled furiously.
He resummoned his Divine Ferocious Avatar that hurled a fist seething with ferocious qi and Daoist runes towards Chu Kuangren.
“Didn’t you say you could crush me with a finger?”
Chu Kuangren stared at Sha Wushe and slowly pushed his finger forward.
A burst of terrifying energies suddenly formed a spatial void in the realm. His effortless finger technique had penetrated the realm!
Both the Divine Ferocious Avatar and its attack were destroyed as their Emperor qi and ferocious qi dissipated. Sha Wushe let out a loud squeal as his newly formed Emperor body was crushed by Chu Kuangren’s finger. With that, Daoist runes shattered incessantly.
In split seconds, Sha Wushe’s body imploded into pieces, and his Emperor’s blood rained over the battlefield.
An Emperor had fallen!
A great commotion ensued within the Heavenly Dao at the fall of an Emperor.
All of the living entities within the realm were overwhelmed by a sense of horror!
One finger?!
An Emperor was defeated with a finger technique. What kind of terrifying power was that?
“Monster… You’re a monster!”
Bai Hongyu, Wang Quan, and Jiu Yan were petrified.
They thought their ascension into Emperorhood meant that they no longer had to fear Chu Kuangren. Yet, they had never imagined that Chu Kuangren would continue to haunt them even after they became Emperors!
Chu Kuangren was the manifestation of a nightmare that only grew stronger and made them more terrified!
As the sense of lingering death flooded their minds, the Emperors began to tremble uncontrollably.
Their desperate survival instincts kicked in and immediately compelled them to attack.
“Divine Bai Clan Slash!”
Bai Hongyu cast her Emperor qi and swung her sword.
The enormous sword ray almost ripped the realm apart and slashed down mercilessly upon Chu Kuangren.
“Dual Elemental Breath!”
“Five Way’s Grip of Capture!”
The Emperors each channeled their distinctive Daoist Rhymes and fused it into a singular attack that rampaged towards Chu Kuangren.
The attack packed so much devastation that it left rifts in the void in its path.
“Empyrean Maelstrom!”
Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and formed a maelstrom within his palm using his Emperor qi. The maelstrom absorbed the devastating attack into its core and deflected it back to the attackers.
The trio was blasted away by their attacks, spitting out trails of blood in their trajectory.
Their inner Daoist runes could be seen from the cracks on their bodies. Their Emperor body could shatter at any moment now.
How ironic to be wounded by their own attacks.
“Why’s it always like this? Even if he has affirmed his Dao through strength alone, we’re all equally Emperors. Yet, the power gap is unexplainable!”
“Impossible… It’s impossible!”
Bai Hongyu and the other Emperors were incredulous.
After all, how could one Emperor differ so much in power against another?
“Why? Chu Kuangren? How are you so strong? After all our hard work, you’re still so far ahead. Why do you deserve such talent?!”
Wan Quan was beginning to break down.
Then, he shrieked like a lunatic.
Chu Kuangren stared into his eyes, unfazed. “Does that mean I’ll stay stagnant while you work hard and make progress?”
“In this world, those who were defeated by me would never stand a chance in defeating me. You are destined to live in my shadow. Try and catch up as you may, but you can only watch as my silhouette disappears into the horizon.”
Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and concentrated a single strand of Emperor qi into a mighty orb of energy!
A bloodbath of an explosion ensued. Just like that, Wang Quan, Bai Hongyu, and Jiu Yan’s Emperor body imploded as their blood splattered all over.
One move to finish off three Emperors!
Their blood splattered onto Zi Wuji, but he was too dumbfounded to move back. He still could not recover to his senses.
Chu Kuangren inched closer and extended his hand. That simple gesture petrified Zi Wuji so much that he trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned white.
However, Chu Kuangren did not intend to kill him. He was merely reaching out to pat his shoulder. “It was a wise choice not to join in the battle. You possess remarkable talents. I think you have great potential in the Emperor Realm.”
Those words sounded like advice that came from an experienced senior. However, Zi Wuji did not dare refute.
The new Emperor could only stand still and refrain from moving.
Outside the Emperor Mountain, the cultivators found it all too preposterous. For a moment, they doubted if it was all just a dream.
“The day they became Emperors marked the day of their deaths. Oh, heavens. They must be the most pitiful Emperors to exist in history.”
“Chu Kuangren, what a frightening existence!”
“He’s a monster, I’m telling you!”
The ascension into Emperorhood used to be a much sought-after achievement. After all, many cultivators in the past had managed to reign dominance over an era after their ascensions.
Yet now, it seemed like Emperors had become much shorter-living than they used to be.
Occurrences like these had never happened in history.
After giving a few words of encouragement to Zi Wuji, Chu Kuangren moved closer to Qin Tianchen with his Emperor’s Aura circling his body.
‘Am I going to die?!’
Qin Tianchen gulped as he forcefully held himself together. He wanted to flee, but Chu Kuangren’s aura had ensured that Qin Tianchen remained where he was.
“What realm are you in?!”
Qin Tianchen asked in fear.
“I’ve just ascended a few days ago.”
Chu Kuangren answered, “Alright, it’s time for you to die.”
“Hold it right there!”
At that instance, Chu Kuangren was interrupted by a crisp voice that resonated through the realm.
Chu Kuangren was stunned for a brief moment, allowing Qin Tianchen a small window to transform into a ray of light that flashed into the distance.
“Idiot.”
Chu Kuangren mobilized his Emperor Thought and locked onto Qin Tianchen. A formless mind power sealed Qin Tianchen’s body in position, freezing him mid-air.
Then, with another flicker of Emperor Thought, the Emperor-grade Lightning Rune formed above Qin Tianchen!
A flash of thunderbolt erupted, striking Qin Tianchen directly. Having been heavily wounded, Qin Tianchen’s Emperor body could no longer take further damage and shattered amidst the flash of lightning. In the end, Qin Tianchen died a tragic death.
