Chapter 482: The Nether Abyss Valley Lord Flees Frantically, How Quickly He Changed

The trident attack blasted the Nether Abyss Valley Lord several hundred meters away.

The Bloodtinge Dragonscale Sword rang incessantly and only stabilized after its owner channeled his spiritual energy into it.

“Emperor Weapon! That’s an Emperor Weapon!”

“He’s able to draw such an enormous amount of power from the Emperor Weapon. No wonder he’s a Supreme Sage.”

The Nether Abyss Valley Lord exclaimed within. Then, he activated his Daoist Rhymes to release a sword technique that sent a flash of crimson sword ray towards Chu Kuangren.

The crimson sword ray glowed brightly as it dyed everywhere it passed through in vivid crimson color. At the same time, its gurgling rage qi spread virally, creating an effect that disturbed one’s spirit.

This was the Nether Abyss Valley Lord’s ultimate technique. It was a Boundary Emperor Technique that he had delicately forged out of his Daoist knowledge. By activating this technique, the Nether Abyss Valley Lord could amplify his combat strength to its limit, making it a far more useful strategy than if he were to use an Emperor Technique that was invented by others.

It was one of the most important cultivation aspects in the Boundary Emperor Realm — to discover one’s path of Dao!

Judging by his display of technique, the Nether Abyss Valley Lord seemed to have taken a huge step in walking his path!

It was this ability alone that would distinguish the Nether Abyss Valley Lord from most Boundary Emperors.

Unfortunately for him, the Nether Abyss Valley Lord’s opponent was Chu Kuangren, who had an Emperor Weapon in his hand. Unfazed by the incoming crimson sword ray, Chu Kuangren swiftly retaliated with his halberd, not at all affected by the rage qi.

Since Chu Kuangren’s Daoist core was at the same level as that of the ancient Emperors, this amount of rage qi could do him no harm at all.

As the torrential force of his halberd crashed into the sword ray, the sword ray instantly shattered with a bang. However, Chu Kuangren’s attack did not stop as it continued to swarm towards the Valley Lord like a tsunami. Even after the crimson ray had reduced its powers by half, its remaining energy was still enough to wreak terror.

“Die!”

The Nether Abyss Valley Lord parried with his longsword, splitting the torrential force into two, which proceeded to pass him by.

He then swung his sword around, but this time, an even more powerful form of Daoist Rhymes concentrated on his blade. Just as the Valley Lord was about to unleash his attack, a series of silver runes manifested and formed into a giant rune. It was Chu Kuangren’s Spatial Cessation Rune!

The appearance of the cessation rule imposed a freezing effect over the surrounding void.

Even with the Nether Abyss Valley Lord’s ability, his attacks seemed to have slowed down.

At that stage, a slight difference in speed was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.

“It looks like the Nether Abyss Valley will need a new lord today.”

By then, Chu Kuangren’s halberd had already swung toward the Nether Abyss Valley Lord.

As the enormous torrential force crashed onto the Nether Abyss Valley Lord, a surge of terrifying spatial energy suddenly erupted from him. The Valley Lord had managed to break through the spatial rune’s effect at the last second and surrounded himself in a white force shield.

“A Great Shift Talisman.” Chu Kuangren was surprised.

The Nether Abyss Valley Lord was decisive enough to flee the battlefield after recognizing that he was no match for Chu Kuangren and the Empyrean Neptune’s Trident Halberd.

Although this particular Great Shift Talisman had quite a powerful spatial energy to have broken the effects of Chu Kuangren’s Spatial Cessation Rune, the Valley Lord was still a moment too late.

Chu Kuangren’s halberd managed to connect its attack.

With a loud wail, Chu Kuangren’s formidable torrential force had managed to slice off the Nether Abyss Valley Lord’s right limb before he vanished into thin air.

Chu Kuangren mobilized his spiritual thoughts, yet he was unable to locate him throughout all of Firmament Star.

However, this did not surprise Chu Kuangren. As a Boundary Emperor, it would not be shocking if the Valley Lord had known of a way to conceal himself from Chu Kuangren’s spiritual thought detection.

He simply went to retrieve the Bloodtinge Dragonscale Sword and the Yin and Yang Ring from the severed limb. When Chu Kuangren looked into the Yin and Yang Ring with his spiritual thought, he was greeted by a glorious array of treasures. “Woah, this Nether Abyss Valley Lord is surely loaded! There’s so much great stuff in here.”

Within the Yin and Yang Ring, there were more than thirty Boundary Emperor-grade items and even several Emperor-grade items. However, all the Emperor-grade treasures were healing items. Most of the items useful for cultivation had long been used by the Nether Abyss Valley Lord.

These did not pose much use to Chu Kuangren. After all, Chu Kuangren possessed the Immortal Body, but it would definitely be a useful addition to the Black Heaven Sect’s resources.

“Now, does anyone still have issues about me killing Boundary Emperor Wuyue and Bai Liyin?” Having kept everything, Chu Kuangren stared down at the Nether Abyss Valley below and said. He was aware that there were several Boundary Emperors who were watching him.

He was greeted only by silence.

Chu Kuangren was armed with an Emperor Weapon and had managed to defeat the Nether Abyss Valley Lord within a few moves. Such combat strengths had placed Chu Kuangren above any of the Boundary Emperors in a one-on-one battle.

The Boundary Emperors did not plan on ganking up on Chu Kuangren either. After all, they did not harbor any hatred for Chu Kuangren, nor did they need to make an enemy for the sake of Boundary Emperor Wuyue and Bai Liyin. These Boundary Emperors had lived a long time, yet they cherished their own lives, so none dared to tread lightly.

“If there’s none, then I don’t mind making a few more friends either. If you may, can you please show yourselves?” Chu Kuangren said. During his battle with the Nether Abyss Valley Lord, he had more or less understood his opponent’s relationship with these Boundary Emperors.

The Valley Lord did not rule over them, nor were they friends. The residents here were just a group of strangers who had congregated together without many interactions throughout their stay.

Since they were not his enemy, Chu Kuangren did not mind a brief exchange with these Boundary Emperors.

Even if Chu Kuangren did not manage to befriend them, it would do no harm for him to get familiar with these people.

After all, these were amongst the strongest cultivators in Firmament Star.

The Boundary Emperors were surprised to hear Chu Kuangren’s proposal. For a moment, they could not figure out the intentions behind Chu Kuangren’s invitation.

However, they were not stupid as well. On closer thought, the Boundary Emperors could make an educated guess.

“It looks like this person isn’t just a naive brute.”

“He possesses a remarkable talent that transcends anything we’ve seen in history. It’s not a bad thing if we can make his acquaintance.”

“If that’s the case, let’s show ourselves.”

Soon, the figures of the Nether Abyss Valley began to appear in the open.

These were the Boundary Emperors of the current generation.

Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation, and soon, information about the Boundary Emperors was displayed before him.

“Boundary Emperor Fang Yun, trained in the Blackwater Corruption Technique, skilled in Water-based Dao…”

“Boundary Emperor Shadow Demon, originally a Shadow Serpent, possesses the Remarkable Divine Shadow Clone…”

“Boundary Emperor Tian Xue, possesses the Deep Freeze Physique, trained in the Nine-Freeze Heavenly Sword Technique, skilled in Ice-based Dao…”

Chu Kuangren began to memorize the Boundary Emperors’ information by heart.

After all, knowing one’s strength and the enemy’s strength was an important element of securing a victory. Chu Kuangren may one day battle these cultivators, so it would do no harm for him to understand his potential opponents well.

“My name’s Chu Kuangren, the Sect Leader of the Black Heaven Sect. Greetings, my fellow Daoist brothers and sisters.” Chu Kuangren put on a warm and affectionate smile. When coupled with his already extraordinary appearance, it was difficult for someone not to be fond of him.

The Boundary Emperors were at a loss for words.

Was this otherworldly-like person in front of them the same lunatic who had just busted into the Nether Abyss Valley looking for trouble?

How quickly he had changed!

“Greetings, Brother Chu.”

“Brother Chu, although we have resided in this location for a long time, we’ve heard about your stories. You’re one of the few in history who has managed to ascend into a Supreme Sage. What an admirable feat.”

“Indeed, what a remarkable sky-pride.”

The Boundary Emperors may be a little cautious, but they made sure that their interactions with Chu Kuangren were polite
