Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 389
Chapter 389: The Thirty-Six Island Chieftains End Themselves, So This Is How A Sage Behaves
“End yourselves.”
“Please end yourselves.”
More and more voices joined in to persuade the Chieftains.
These were the voices of the Thirty-Six Oceanic Island Sages. They had investigated the tsunami’s cause and were petrified of Chu Kuangren’s power. Having these Chieftains commit suicide was their only option left to save their orthodoxies.
The Chieftains’ faces had gone white.
If it was only Chu Kuangren who wanted them dead, they would merely feel resentful.
Yet, even their Sages wanted them dead now. A deep sense of sorrow welled up in the Chieftains’ souls!
Alas, the greatest pain did not come from an enemy.
It came from the betrayal of their own people!
“Haha, Chu Kuangren. I will yield to your request. If anything happens to Sapphire Island, I will haunt you from my death.”
The Sapphire Island Chieftain laughed, yet everyone could sense the sadness within him. After that, his body began to expand dramatically.
With a boom, the Sapphire Island’s Chieftain exploded into a mist of blood.
A look of struggle flashed across the remaining Chieftains’ eyes. At such a conjecture, it was no use resisting anymore.
Chu Kuangren wanted them dead.
The Sages wanted them dead as well.
How could a bunch of Honorables resist?
They might as well make it quick.
“Chu Kuangren, I won’t forgive you if anything happens to Moutan Peony Island,” said the Moutan Peony Island Chieftain. Then, with a light grunt, he too exploded like the Sapphire Island’s Chieftain.
“Chu Kuangren, I shall seek revenge from you in another lifetime!”
“Haha, who would’ve thought I’d end up like this!”
“Hilarious, just hilarious!”
The Chieftains began to explode in succession.
Of course, some made a desperate attempt to flee.
One of the Chieftains transformed into a ray of light and dashed into the distance, but an enormous palm qi slapped him back into his original position.
That palm qi did not come from Chu Kuangren. Instead, it came from a Sage.
“End yourself. Don’t make me do it.”
The Chieftain lost all sense of hope, and in the end, he could only grind his teeth as he exploded.
Soon, all of the Chieftains were dead!
Chu Kuangren endured the Chieftains’ mockeries before he watched them kill themselves. However, he was unmoved by it.
“Chu Kuangren, I believe this matter should be put behind us now!”
One of the Sage’s voices rang out.
“Hehe… Hehe… Hahaha…”
Chu Kuangren put his hands on his forehead and burst into a peal of laughter.
The Sages were confused.
“Sages? Is this how Sages behave?!”
“Everyone’s been saying that a Sage is a pillar of an orthodoxy, yet today’s the first time I’ve witnessed a Sage drive their own people to their deaths. So this is how the pillars of an orthodoxy function?! Haha…”
“How hilarious.”
The Sages were silent.
Rather, they were fuming with so much anger that they could not utter another word.
Only Chu Kuangren’s manic laughter reverberated above the ocean. The people on the Illusive Mirage were dumbfounded at what they had just witnessed.
Chu Kuangren was laughing so hard that he had tears in his eyes.
“That’s enough!”
One of the Sages screamed in anger.
To them, Chu Kuangren’s laughter was an unbearable insult to their dignity. Each word of his stung their hearts.
After all, Chu Kuangren was the one who drove them to such a decision.
Yet, he still had the audacity to mock them.
As the saying went, words could torture more than a weapon!
As Chu Kuangren’s laughter began to fade, the ocean resumed its state of calmness. He stored the Sea King’s Trident and returned to the Illusive Mirage.
Before he left, he was still muttering something in his mouth.
His voice echoed in the air.
“Sages?! To hell with these stupid Sages!”
The Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands’ Sages heard it loud and clear.
Many of their Daoist Cores almost collapsed.
On one of the islands, a terrifying aura abruptly exploded, shattering a mountain into pieces. An elder emerged from his residence as he stared furiously into the distance. His face twisted like a bloodthirsty demon.
“Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren…”
The elder ground his teeth; his anger fuming beyond his usual limit.
However, at the thought of Chu Kuangren’s terrifying abilities, a sense of helplessness overwhelmed him. He had no choice but to suppress his insatiable anger.
Even so, the more he thought, the angrier he became, and the more he was reminded of his helplessness.
At last, the elder spurted a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
“Why could such a person exist in this world?!”
The elder was not the only one in the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands with such a predicament. Some of the Sages’ Daoist Cores were even destroyed.
“Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren, oh merciless Chu Kuangren!”
“Ahhh, Chu Kuangren, you must suffer a horrible death!”
“I hate you!”
“Oh heavens, why do you allow a being like Chu Kuangren to exist in this world? This world cannot deal with an anomaly like him!”
“He has killed the Serpent Deity! Help us! Help us!”
The Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands’ disciples were puzzled.
Seeing the Sages was a rare enough occurrence for them, but why were they suddenly releasing such a huge burst of energy?
The disciples could feel resentment in this energy as well. Who was the resentment directed to, and why did the Sages feel helpless?
The ocean was not at all peaceful that day.
…
Chu Kuangren returned to the Illusive Mirage.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators were so excited as they stared at him in admiration.
Chu Kuangren ignored the crowd and headed straight for a room, where he unlocked a seal to the door.
When he finally settled in, Chu Kuangren’s face immediately paled, and he felt his body went limp before he collapsed into the bed.
“Holy hell, looks like the Emperor’s Weapon is not to be used lightly.”
Chu Kuangren took a deep breath.
An Emperor Weapon was indeed a mighty weapon. However, wielding the weapon with his current cultivation level was not an easy task.
Chu Kuangren had almost exhausted all of his spiritual energy reserves this time
Nevertheless, his spiritual energy was the lesser of his concerns.
After all, with the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, Chu Kuangren could easily convert blood essence into spiritual energy. Most importantly, the experience had taken a lot out of his spirit!
Using an Emperor’s Weapon and unleashing the Emperor’s Aura was a huge test of a cultivator’s Daoist Rhyme, Daoist core, and mental strength!
“Looks like I’m lucky enough this time to have been able to fake it till I made it.”
Chu Kuangren heaved a sigh of relief and murmured.
He then swallowed some pills and began to rejuvenate his energy.
As for his mind…
The spirit and spiritual thoughts were elements of a cultivator’s soul, but soul techniques were uncommon in Firmament Star. The only way one could rejuvenate their soul was through improving their cultivation realm, and this process required time, even for Chu Kuangren.
Although there were treasures that could boost one’s spiritual strength, those were completely out of the ordinary, and Chu Kuangren did not possess such an item.
It took Chu Kuangrent three days to fully recover. Half a day to recover his spiritual energy, and the rest to rejuvenate his soul.
Only then did Chu Kuangren finally walk out of his room.
He was immediately greeted by hundreds of thousands of individuals outside his room. When the cultivators and citizens saw him, they all knelt in unison.
“Thank you, Sect Leader, for saving our lives!”
“Thank you, Sect Leader, for saving our lives…”
The people knelt before Chu Kuangren and expressed their gratitude with their utmost passion.
The three thousand children were no longer crying nor throwing a tantrum. Together with the adults, they knelt to Chu Kuangren, whom they stared at curiously.
“Come, there’s no need to kneel,” Chu Kuangren said calmly. Upon observing that some of them were injured, Chu Kuangren activated the Spring Breeze Healing Technique.
As the spring breeze greeted the people, their injuries healed.
