Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 113
Chapter 113: Time Waits For No Man, Not Even You, Chu Kuangren
Boom!
The ground shook, mountains split, and rays of brilliant light spilled through the cracks as a figure in a green shirt walked out, surrounded by surges of mysterious Daoist Rhymes.
“Is this the age of the Great Dharma Emergence?”
“As expected, achieving Dao enlightenment seems easier here than in my time. The Spiritual Qi is also plentiful. I shall become an Emperor in this life!”
The figure exclaimed, all high and mighty.
…
From the choppy oceans, a column of water suddenly burst into the sky, and a man with black hair and scaled armor appeared. He held a trident and soared to the skies with Daoist Rhymes surging alongside him.
“Haha! The Great Dharma Emergence means the Era of Great Battles!”
“I shall wait for you, fellow sky-prides!” the man bellowed.
The waves continued to crash with no signs of stopping.
…
Somewhere in the Thunder Falcon Tribe, countless cultivators got on their knees and prayed to the black coffin on an altar.
The coffin was engraved with numerous mysterious runes.
Yet suddenly, the coffin rattled and burst open in a violent roar of lightning. It raged within the void.
“All hail the founding forefathers!”
“All hail the founding forefathers!”
The Thunder Falcon Tribe’s cultivators chanted and cheered.
When the dust settled, a white-robed and blue-haired young man strode forth. Minute pulses of electricity danced as he opened his eyes.
“I’ve arrived in this era at last.”
…
Following that, countless ancient sky-prides awoke, setting the stage for the Era of Great Battle on the Firmament Star.
Fifteen days after Chu Kuangren retreated into his closed-door meditation, a Primordial Emperor’s Essence appeared on one of the Azure Dragon Domain’s mountain ranges. It echoed with mysterious Daoist Rhymes and transformed into a patch of golden lotuses.
It was a sign that a Primordial Emperor’s Essence had appeared!
At that moment, the whole of the Azure Dragon Domain and the Firmament Star plunged into madness, for every single sage orthodoxy wanted the essence!
In the end, the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s ancient sky-pride won the Emperor essence this time, and the crowd cheered for a new generation of Young Emperors!
As time passed, the divine predictor’s words were proved to be true. The forty-nine Primordial Emperor’s Essences appeared one by one, and countless sky-prides, both ancient and not, joined the fight for the Emperor’s Essence.
Like in a starry night sky, each sky-pride shone with its own brilliance.
Be it the Serene Wisdom Sect’s Ao Chang, the Royal Azure Dynasty’s Princess Linglong, Gu Changge, Zhiyang Valley’s Lin Batian, the Taixu Temple’s Wuchen Zi…
Or the ancient sky-prides, Hai Dong and Lin Qingshan…
One after another, the sky-prides obtained the Emperor’s Essence, becoming part of a new generation of Young Emperors. As for the older Young Emperors, they would be stripped of their title and disqualified unless they obtained an Emperor’s Essence.
Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
In those three years, the Firmament Star had changed drastically due to the awakening of the ancient sky-prides and the Primordial Emperor’s Essences.
The new generation of Young Emperor sky-prides rose to fame.
As for the Chu Kuangren who once shook the skies three years ago, people seemed to have forgotten about him. Slowly, his name was no longer mentioned.
He had been in closed-door meditation for three long years with no news nor sound from him. One by one, the forty-nine Primordial Emperor’s Essences were snatched up, and not once did he appear or fight for it.
Everyone believed that the shining star of a sky-pride from three years ago had been eliminated by the passage of time.
His figure would never appear on the road to Emperorhood.
Instead, the attention fell to Lan Yu, his loyal follower.
She was unparalleled. During the times when the Primordial Emperor’s Essences appeared one after another, Lan Yu grasped the Emperor’s Essence with her own power.
She definitely had a shot as a Young Emperor!
The divine predictor had even assessed the sky-prides present before the war began, and he did make such a prediction for Lan Yu.
Her talents were the best of the best, and her achievements would be no less than an Ancient Emperor!
Lan Yu became famous with these words.
Even the ancient sky-prides who grew in power were unable to stand in her way!
Achievements no less than an Ancient Emperor?
If one were to read between the lines of such a statement, it literally meant that Lan Yu would at least become an Emperor!
Even with the Primordial Emperor’s Essence, it was not guaranteed that the current Young Emperors would become Emperors.
The divine predictor’s praise held so much weight!
Unfortunately, Lan Yu made no other moves after she got her hands on the essence. She had been in the Black Heaven Sect since then, and no one saw her.
…
In the Black Heaven Sect’s Towering Heaven Palace, Lan Yu sat under a large tree.
Her face was calm, but her yearning gaze occasionally flickered to the building beside her.
Next to her, Lil Bing rested her chin. “Say, Sister Lan Yu, Master has been in closed-door meditation for three years now. When is he going to come out?”
“I don’t know.” Lan Yu shook her head gently.
“By the way, I heard that the Winged Human Tribe’s Young Emperor came to take you back a few days ago. What did you say to them?” Lil Bing asked curiously.
“I declined. I belong beside my Master; it is the only place worth being. As for the Winged Human Tribe, I have no connections to them other than my status as one of them.” Lan Yu furrowed her brows.
The Winged Human Tribe were a tribe in the Azure Dragon Domain. Their abilities were average and much worse than a sage orthodoxy.
It was not until three years ago, when they awakened a slumbering ancient winged sky-pride, that they managed to obtain an Emperor’s Essence!
Besides, only when Lan Yu became famous was her status as a Winged cultivator known. Once that happened, the Winged Human Tribe went to the Black Heaven Sect and attempted to bring Lan Yu back with them, only to be firmly rejected.
Despite that, the Winged Human Tribe did not give up as they would send people to the Black Heaven Sect to convince Lan Yu once in every three to five days.
“If only our Master would come out of his closed-door meditation. He would have a way to ease your troubles.” Lil Bing sighed.
“If our Master doesn’t come out soon, the whole world will forget he existed. All those new disciples talk about are those Young Emperors, but when we mention our Master, they brush it off with a few sentences. I bet they were nobodies during the times of our Master’s glory,” Lil Bing said with slight anger.
Every time someone would mention how Chu Kuangren’s time had passed, she would fight back, but no matter how she argued, it was indisputable that Chu Kuangren’s prestige was fading.
The Black Heaven Sect was not too bad. Besides the new disciples, most of them still remembered their Elder Senior Brother.
However, to the outside world, Chu Kuangren’s name was no longer said.
Times changed too fast. One day a sky-pride would defeat an Honorable Sage, and the next, a sky-pride would ascend to another realm.
With the constant barrage of new events, no one talked about the things that Chu Kuangren did three years ago anymore.
“Ignore the rest. What matters is that we remember. When our Master comes back, everyone will remember again.” Lan Yu smiled faintly. Her eyes were full of determination.
She believed that the forgetting would be temporary. Once Chu Kuangren returned, everyone would recall the man who pressured every sky-pride to a point where none could raise their heads.
Suddenly, a ripple of movement came from the building.
An extremely powerful Daoist Rhyme soared into the sky!
The whole Black Heaven Sect shook and as the sound of swords howling rose from the Blade Mountain, everyone looked towards the Towering Heaven Palace.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and some others were ecstatic.
They knew that the man was coming back!
