Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 60
Chapter 60: The Luminous Moon Sage’s Body, Chaotic Battle of Sky-prides
“Master, did something happen between you and the princess?”
Lan Yu asked confusingly.
“Sheesh, it’s all because of my bad luck.” Chu Kuangren looked up to the skies and lamented.
Lan Yu was even more dumbfounded then as her blue eyes stared at Chu Kuangren without ever blinking, shining like jewels. She waited for him to explain after that.
“It’s nothing much, let’s go find Nangong Huang and the others.”
“Uhh… Alright.” Lan Yu nodded. Although she was a bit bothered, she would not prod further as Chu Kuangren did not feel like telling her.
Both of them packed up and left.
On top of a mountain peak somewhere.
A group of Sky-prides was gathered together over there.
The center of the location at which they gathered was Daoist grounds. At the center of the Daoist grounds sat a person in white robes. He had the complexion of a middle-aged man and his skin was as white as jade.
The only thing was that there was no sign of life in that person.
He was like a statue.
If Chu Kuangren was here he would recognize that person as the Luminous Moon Sage!
Accurately speaking, it was the corpse of the Luminous Moon Sage!
The white-robed corpse was stained with blood. It seemed to have gone through a great battle and returned to that very place, laid down some sealing restrictions, and passed away in a sitting position.
“The Luminous Moon Sage’s body is still so well preserved although he has been dead for tens of thousands of years. Sages are indeed skilled and unpredictable!”
“I don’t know who it was that managed to kill the Luminous Moon Sage, but could it be that mysterious existence that lies within the depths of that gray fog?”
“Although this Sage has passed away in this sitting position for tens of thousands of years, it has far fewer Daoist Rhymes emanating compared to when he just passed away. However, this body still contains Sage Qi, and if one makes good use out of it, it will benefit even someone who’s already an Honorable cultivator.”
“That’s correct.”
“Then again, let’s undo the seals and talk later.”
At the areas surrounding the Daoist grounds, there laid a layer of restriction seals.
It was placed by the Sage himself. Originally, that seal was unbreakable even for an Honorable level cultivator, but due to the passing of time added with the corrosion of the Qi of Death, only a thin layer of restriction seals remained. This presented an opportunity for everyone in the crowd.
“So, everyone, how’s the discussion?”
At that point, the Young Emperor Lei Ao spoke.
Surrounding him, the White Lotus Maiden Sage, White Lotus Bachelor Sage, Gu Changge, Yuanhong of the Dharma Sect, and the other Sky-prides all looked at each other without saying a word.
Lei Ao continued speaking, “What’s the matter, don’t tell me you all are planning to just stare at this Sage body before you and leave empty-handed?
“If it wasn’t for my lack of strength to break through this sealing restriction, I wouldn’t bother asking for you idiots to help out.”
The White Lotus Maiden Sage’s face turned grim. She coldly replied. “Lei Ao, don’t you think that using that kind of attitude to ask us for help is a bit too much?”
“Don’t be mistaken, I’m not asking for you people to help me, I’m allowing you all to help me. Unless you don’t want to get the Sage’s corpse of course.”
Lei Ao replied indifferently. He had confidence that no matter who chanced upon this Sage’s body would not be unmoved by the sight of it even if it were an Honorable Cultivator.
“After getting rid of the restrictions, who gets to keep the Sage’s body?”
The White Lotus Maiden Sage finally asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
“Heh, it will be up to each of your abilities then, of course!” Lei Ao laughed.
Everyone in the crowd had different looks on their faces when they heard this.
When it came to that, it was no doubt that the strongest force to be reckoned with at that time will be the Young Emperor Lei Ao.
If everyone were to rely on their skills, the one who had the upper hand would also be Lei Ao.
“Aren’t you all top-notch Sky-prides within your respective orthodoxies? How could you not have the courage to do this? It’s no wonder none of you can defeat Chu Kuangren.”
Lei Ao’s tone was calm but indifferent.
When he heard that, Gu Changge’s face turned grim. “Alright, we’ll do just as you wish then. Once the seals are removed, it’ll be to each of their own abilities!”
Upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s name, the White Lotus Maiden Sage was unhappy as well. “Hmmph, I don’t have any opinions on that as well.”
The other remaining Sky-prides all agreed as well.
Actually, all of them had unknowingly fallen victim to Lei Ao’s provocation tactic.
After all, the body of the Sage was right before them. They could not just leave empty-handed!
Rather than sitting by the sidelines, they might as well gave it their all and try!
“Very well!” Lei Ao laughed as he figured for himself that Chu Kuangren really was disliked by everyone. Just a mere mention of his name was enough to rile everyone up.
Not far away, Nangong Huang and the others looked at each other.
“Tsk, it’s a shame that our Elder Senior Brother is not here now. Otherwise, would they even have a chance to get their hands on that Sage’s corpse?”
“Although our Elder Senior Brother is not here, he exists everywhere. Even Lei Ao has to mention our Elder Senior Brother’s name when he intends to grab the Sage’s corpse for himself.”
Murong Xuan shook his head, his heart filled with even more admiration for Chu Kuangren.
“Shall we make a move later?”
“Well of course, even if the Elder Senior Brother is not here, we can’t let the Black Heaven Sect’s name fall into the mud.” Nangong Huang calmly said.
They were the disciples of the Black Heaven Sect and were also top-notch Sky-prides as well.
Besides truly acknowledging Chu Kuangren, other people and even top-tiered Sky-prides like Lei Ao dared not to challenge him.
“I shall attack first!”
Lei Ao took the lead and leaped into the air. Overbearing Lightning-based Daoist Rhymes swirled around his whole body, which formed into a pair of Black Lightning wings!
“Black Water Falling Thunder!”
The violent black lightning shot towards the restriction seal!
Within an instant, the White Lotus Maiden Sage, White Lotus Bachelor Sage, Gu Changge, Yuanhong, and the others also immediately followed and let out their attacks, demonstrating the different techniques from their orthodoxies.
“White rainbow Charge!”
The White Lotus Maiden Sage and White Lotus Bachelor Sage both let out a palm attack which condensed into a form of shining white light, rushing towards the seal like a flying rainbow.
That was a top-tiered Supreme Technique!
“Concurrent Worldly Flow!” Yuanhong of the Dharma Sect gathered the spiritual qi in the skies and land instead and formed it into a horrifying surge of spiritual qi torrent which burst forth towards the seal.
Gu Changge raised his hand and let out a punch as the roar of a dragon resounded in the skies!
Each Sky-pride of the different orthodoxies all sent out their attacks one by one.
Terrifying bursts of Daoist Rhymes spread shockwaves everywhere. When they hit the restriction seal on the Daoist grounds, an explosion that rocked the earth could be heard, causing the whole mountain terrain to rumble as well.
Even the surrounding void was twisting and trembling.
Something cracking could then be heard…
The simultaneous attacks from all the top-notch Sky-prides caused a few cracks to start appearing on the restriction seal which was full of Daoist runes. The cracks were also starting to get bigger as they spread further.
Finally, in the end, that restriction seal which had stood the test of time for tens of thousands of years, while being constantly corroded by the Qi of Death eventually could not withstand the incoming blows. It broke and shattered on the spot!
The force that was released upon the seal breaking caused many of the weaker Sky-prides to be flung around hundreds of feet away as they looked at the Daoist grounds in amazement.
“It’s time!”
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others instantly moved.
The few of them rushed towards the Daoist grounds, trying to snatch the body of the Sage!
“You dare go against me with just a few of you!” Lei Ao sneered coldly as he flapped his Black Lightning wings. His figure turned into a bolt of lightning which dashed towards them. Lei Ao reached Nangong Huang and the others and followed on with another punch attack.
The crackling of thunder and lightning boomed as a few of them were flung out of the battle by that punch.
After that, Lei Ao reached out intending to grab the Sage’s body.
However, in that moment, multiple surges of Daoist Rhymes reverberated and locked onto Lei Ao. The White Lotus Maiden Sage, White Lotus Bachelor Sage, Gu Changge, and Yuanhong all immediately attacked Lei Ao at once!
Facing the four of those top-notch Sky-prides as opponents, Lei Ao could not help but retract his grasps and use his spiritual energy to battle against them instead.
“Hmmph, I guess you all know that you’re no match for me one on one, so you have decided earlier on to band together and fight against me instead?” Lei Ao flapped his wings as he fought against the four of them unyieldingly.
“We’ll defeat you first and split the Sage’s corpse later among ourselves!” Gu Changge coldly replied, and immediately urged his Sage technique Dragon Slaughter Fist towards him!
“Hmph, even you who lost after a single slash by Chu Kuangren dares to fight against me.” Lei Ao gathered his black lightning and made his opponent retreat with a single attack.
The White Lotus Maiden Sage, White Lotus Bachelor Sage, and Yuanhong all sent out their techniques. While that was happening, Nangong Huang who was recently flung out rejoined the battle wielding a sacred sword!
Lei Ao suddenly found himself facing five of them at once!
Within an instant, Supreme Techniques, Sage Techniques, Daoist Physique transformations, and other techniques were all simultaneously let out from those Sky-prides.
The whole Daoist grounds overflowed with a violent overbearing mix of Daoist Rhymes which intertwined and clashed against each other. The surrounding areas were continuously destroyed and ruptured as the void around that area trembled.
