Chapter 651: Two Veteran Emperors, One Month Later, See You At Great Frost Dragon Mountain
An incredibly powerful Emperor’s Aura erupted in the void before them.
A gray-robed man walked out of it and gazed at Chu Kuangren coldly. “Did I not ask you to stop?”
“Oh, am I supposed to obey whatever you say?”
Chu Kuangren glanced at the man with his Eye of Revelation activated.
This man was an Emperor as well.
He was not just an Emperor but a veteran Emperor. What alarmed Chu Kuangren the most was that this Emperor hailed from the archaic ancient orthodoxy, the Qin clan.
No wonder he was so agitated.
After all, Chu Kuangren had murdered a newly-ascended Emperor from their orthodoxy right before his eyes. It would be strange if that did not arouse his anger.
“Right, what’s up with new Emperors of the modern era nowadays? So arrogant and disrespectful of those who came before you. Kiddo, do you have any idea how many hundred thousands of years of seniority I have over you in Emperorship?” the Qin Clan Emperor scoffed.
“So is that all you know? Suppressing the young folk with your seniority?”
“Seems that I am obliged to teach you a lesson or two.”
The Qin Clan Emperor struck out immediately. He raised an arm and unleashed ripples of Emperor qi that had Dao patterns way more mystical than Qin Tianchen’s were. Clearly, he was many grades above Qin Tianchen.
As a matter of fact, the Emperor Realm was subdivided into three — Initial Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, and Daoist Celestial.
Among those, the Initial Emperor Realm was split into nine ranks. The bottom three ranks were Novices, the middle three ranks were Experts, while the top three ranks were Perfected.
Chu Kuangren, Qin Tianchen, and the few other new Emperors had just only stepped over to Emperor Realm, so they were still at the first rank of the Initiate Emperor Realm. In other words, they were Novice Emperors.
In fact, Novice Emperors were situated at the very bottom of the food chain.
Even this Qin Clan Emperor in front of them now was a Novice Emperor. However, he was a Rank Three Novice Emperor, an elite amongst all Novice Emperors.
“Lashing out at a new Emperor like that, how are you setting an example as an elder?”
Chu Kuangren appeared unusually composed in the face of this Rank Three Novice Emperor’s attack. The Emperor qi inside his body surged, and his Invincible Technique brewed.
Then, he threw out a punch, and the two Emperors’ Auras clashed. As the Dao patterns clashed violently, Chu Kuangren did not flinch at all. Conversely, the Qin Clan Emperor was shocked that the punch forced him multiple steps back.
“How is this possible?!”
The Qin Clan Emperor’s expression changed abruptly.
He was a Rank Three Novice Emperor, yet he fell to a disadvantageous position against this new Emperor. Was that guy really a new Emperor?
“What level is your Emperor’s Core?”
Qin Clan Emperor realized that his opponent’s Emperor’s Core was just too strong. Such quality of Emperor qi was something that he had not seen before.
It was obvious at this point that his opponent’s Emperor’s Core quality was extremely high!
In fact, it was far superior to his.
High-grade? Superb-grade?
Otherwise, how did he harness such a powerful combat strength?!
“You’re not entitled to know,” Chu Kuangren commented plainly. The Prominent-grade Emperor’s Core was his trump card, so he would never easily give up that information to anyone.
He may be a confident person, but he knew when not to say certain things.
Especially when facing an Emperor.
Revealing only seventy percent of his strength and concealing the other thirty was the true key to success!
“Hmph. How powerful can a new Emperor like you be?”
Qin Clan Emperor was about to follow up on his attack.
Just then, a figure swooped down from below. It was a lady with delicate makeup who wore a bright red long dress.
“Brother Qin Yu, we’re not here today to make enemies with the new Emperors,” that lady remarked calmly.
“Hmph, Sister Leng Xin, this guy has brutally murdered multiple new Emperors. Are you really just going to sit by and do nothing?”
“That’s their personal matter. I’ve got nothing to do with it.”
“The man that he murdered was an Emperor of my clan. How does that have nothing to do with me?” Qin Yu sneered in response, not willing to give up so easily.
“Proceed with this little fight of yours then. If you manage to kill him, I’d like to see how you’ll explain yourself to Great Emperor Hua Xing. And if he kills you, you best be prepared to feel remorseful over your actions in the afterlife.”
Qin Yu did not look too delighted upon hearing that.
Firstly, they were here for a mission. If they did not complete it as requested, there would be consequences awaiting them when they return.
Secondly, if Leng Xin did not help him, he knew it would be difficult for him to bring down Chu Kuangren alone.
“Hmph, fine then.”
Qin Yu scoffed and slowly retracted his domineering aura.
Only then could Leng Xin finally relax. She looked at the few Emperor corpses around her, expressing her sympathy at their demise. “These were all new Emperors… They would’ve been better off dying on the Extraterritorial Battlefield than here.”
At the side, Chu Kuangren was startled.
Extraterritorial Battlefield?
Another term that he had unheard of.
“Are you by any chance Great Emperor Leng Xin?”
Just then, Leng Ningyu walked up to the front and asked in Great Emperor Leng Xin’s direction.
“Yes, that’s me.”
Great Emperor Leng Xin nodded gently.
“It’s an honor to meet you, Senior. I’m Leng Ningyu, your junior from Seven Emotions Sect.”
Leng Ningyu bowed as a sign of respect. She had seen Leng Xin’s portrait previously. The latter was a Great Emperor of the Seven Emotions Sect and her senior.
“Now that you’re an Emperor, you can feel free to regard me as your equal from now on.”
Leng Xin glanced at Leng Ningyu with a knowing smile.
Then, she turned to Chu Kuangren and the rest of the group and said, “We’ve come to Emperor Mountain this time mainly to inform you, new Emperors, of a matter. In a month’s time, we invite you all to the Firmament Star’s Great Frost Dragon Mountain for a meeting.”
“At that time, we will answer all of your burning questions and tell you everything you need to know about being an Emperor.”
Murong Xuan and Lan Yu glanced at Chu Kuangren after they heard that.
Clearly, they all listen to Chu Kuangren.
Even Zhi Wuji was waiting for his response.
“Alright, we’ll be there in one month’s time.”
Chu Kuangren nodded.
“Since we’ve already passed the message on, we shall excuse ourselves then.”
Leng Xin did not look like she wanted to linger around Emperor Mountain.
She smiled at Leng Ningyu and said, “If the opportunity presents itself in the future, I’ll make a trip back to Seven Emotions Sect. In the meantime, I’ll see you at Great Frost Dragon Mountain.”
After that, Leng Xin and Qin Yu left the place.
The people remaining stared blankly at each other.
Murong Xuan, Lan Yu, and Leng Ningu stared at Chu Kuangren. They were clearly waiting for Chu Kuangren to explain to them what happened.
“This is not the place. We’ll talk after getting out of here.”
Chu Kuangren flashed them a warm smile.
With that, the few of them departed Emperor Mountain. However, the remaining cultivators who were left around Emperor Mountain still had not recovered from the rapid chain of events earlier.
“Bloodshed has already occurred on the day the new Emperors are born. Veteran Emperors emerged but still ended up getting defeated by Chu Kuangren in one hit. I have a feeling that a massive revolution is about to take place in this realm.”
“Yeah. I felt like the spiritual qi in this realm has become more vibrant after the birth of these new Emperors. The Dao has become more easily apprehensible too. These signs bear a kind of resemblance to the Great Dharma Prosperity back during immemorial times.”
“Seems like it’ll become easier for us to cultivate now.”
A discussion broke out within the crowd.
As for the Bai clan, the Wang clan, and a few other orthodoxies who had just witnessed Chu Kuangren slaying their respective new Emperors, they were overwhelmed with grief.
They had waited so long to see a Bai clan sky-pride ascend into Emperorhood.
Yet, all that effort just for Chu Kuangren to murder him in cold blood.
What the hell?!
They could not help but feel hopeless.
However, the orthodoxies seemed to have received some news very soon, as they quickly left Emperor Mountain, returning to their respective orthodoxies.
At that sight, the smarter cultivators immediately knew what was going on.
“Tremendous transformations have befallen upon the realm, and the Great Dharma Emergence has begun. The Emperors can’t wait to carry on with their next phase of plans, huh?”
“Perhaps the birth of these new Emperors is only the start of a certain era. I personally feel that a more glorious era is about to arrive.”
A few of the cultivators rubbed their palms together, feeling rather excited about the things that were yet to come.
