Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 190: Withered Cloud Sage, The Sacred Palace Of Death Again, The Four Seasons Sword Formation

The birth of the Godly Phoenix was felt by every soul in the world.

At that moment, the whole Firmament Star shook.

After all, this was a divine beast!

Godly Phoenixes, like dragons, were divine beasts that only existed in legends. Every one of them was a priceless treasure.

Their existence was rare even in ancient times.

As long as a divine beast did not die, they often ended up living in the Emperor Realm. If they were tamed, it would become a great asset to the cultivators.

There was a time when many people were constantly looking for divine beasts. This was especially for those who possessed skills of deduction as they tried to deduce the location of these Godly Phoenixes.

On a certain mountain.

The divine protector, clad in commoner’s clothes, was using his deduction skills to locate the Godly Phoenix as Daoist Rhymes emanated and mysterious heavenly powers appeared.

He had a bronze mirror in his hand, and in the mirror swirled with clouds that contained powerful deduction abilities.

A long time had passed, and the clouds in the bronze mirror remained. The divine predictor shook his head. “So hard to deduce. Divine beasts are still tied to the fate of heaven and earth, and their lives are far more valuable than even the ancient Emperors.”

If even he failed, no one else could do it. Every effort in deducing the Godly Phoenix’s location had failed.

…

On top of the volcano, the immortal Godly Phoenix appeared, soaring through the skies with her majestically stunning figure as ethereal Daoist Rhymes emanated from its body.

Eventually, the Godly Phoenix landed in front of Chu Kuangren and extended her fluffy head to him, expressing her pleasure and affection.

Chu Kuangren tousled the Godly Phoenix’s head before using the Eye of Revelation to get information on it.

“The immortal Godly Phoenix, the King of the Godly Phoenix clan. Honorable cultivation base, possesses supernatural fire essences like the Fire of Nirvana…”

Chu Kuangren could not help but sigh at what he saw. As expected of a Godly Phoenix, she was already an Honorable from birth.

To think that the ‘child’ he hatched had a higher cultivation base than he did.

Chu Kuangren felt slightly ashamed at the thought.

“It really is the legendary Godly Phoenix!”

Suddenly, a voice of surprise came from the sky.

An elderly man in Daoist robes flew towards them from the horizon. He had a long face with eye sockets that sunk inwards which made him look quite gloomy.

The elderly man’s face was filled with glee upon seeing the Godly Phoenix. “To think that I would be so lucky to encounter such an opportunity on my journey. If I can tame this Godly Phoenix, the Firmament Star will be mine to reign!”

Since the elderly man was nearby, he rushed over as soon as he felt the birth of the Godly Phoenix.

He could tell that the Godly Phoenix was just born and its cultivation base was in the Honorable Realm. It was a far cry from his own Boundary Sage status.

His chances of taming the Godly Phoenix were very high!

Unfortunately, he soon noticed Chu Kuangren by its side and his otherworldly appearance. He could not help but be surprised.

He watched how intimate the Godly Phoenix acted with Chu Kuangren and felt his heart lurch. He thought to himself, ‘Could it have already been tamed?’

The thought filled him with murderous intent.

The Godly Phoenix must be his!

“Hello! Which orthodoxy does this junior hail from?” The elderly man slowly approached Chu Kuangren with a smile.

Unfortunately, his appearance was unflattering, and he still gave out a hint of gloominess despite his smile.

Chu Kuangren’s Eye of Revelation activated, scanning the man before him.

“Master Daoist Withered Cloud, one of the guardians of the Sacred Palace of Death. Cultivation base: Boundary Sage. Cultivating the Sage Techniques: Withering Shadow, Scorched Palm Of The Earth…”

Eh?

The Sacred Palace of Death’s guardian?

Them again?

Chu Kuangren was mildly surprised. The Black Light Sage that he had killed back in the Luminous Moon Sage’s secret realm was also from the Sacred Palace of Death.

What kind of power did they hold?

He had met two of their people — one Sage and now a Boundary Sage.

It was all rather scary.

Even the sage orthodoxies might be weaker than them.

“What orthodoxy I come from doesn’t matter. More importantly, can you please stop coming any closer? Your face is making me nervous.”

“Don’t be afraid, young junior. I may look a little scary, but I’m a good guy.” Master Daoist Withered Cloud smiled while the hand behind his back gathered a surge of grey qi.

A ruthless look flashed past his eyes before he shot out his palm to strike.

However, someone was already one step ahead of him. Behind him, four different sword rays locked onto him from four different directions!

“What?!” Master Daoist Withered Cloud was stunned. The attack that was meant for Chu Kuangren had turned to face the sword rays behind him.

The sword rays and his palm strength collided, and a horrifying energy swept outwards. All four sword qi clones stumbled back by a few hundred feet.

With this, Chu Kuangren took the chance to strike back by lifting the sword in his hand.

The majestic Sword-based Daoist Rhyme locked onto Master Daoist Withered Cloud and landed on his back, hard. The horrifying sword qi immediately erupted, and even a Boundary Sage like him felt as if his body was being split in two from a single strike.

“Ah!!”

The blow sent Master Daoist Withered Cloud flying with a painful screech.

Beside him, the Godly Phoenix saw what was happening and moved without needing to be told. She spat out a golden fireball and sent it in Master Daoist Withered Cloud’s direction.

The fireball was so extremely hot that it distorted the rays of light around it.

“F*ck!”

After all, Master Daoist Withered Cloud was still a Boundary Sage and he was not going to go down easily. With a roar, a burst of gray qi of death was blasted out before it collided with the fireball.

Master Daoist Withered Cloud landed on the ground as traces of gray qi seeped out from his body that was almost cut in half by Chu Kuangren’s attack.

He took out a lifesaving medicinal pill that he had treasured for many years and ate it to temporarily stop his injury from deteriorating.

“You rascal! I’m going to tear you limb from limb!” Master Daoist Withered Cloud howled in anger. He no longer faked his intentions.

However, he was actually rather shaken.

After passing his heavenly tribulation to the Boundary Sage, coupled with him bathing in qi of death for so many years, his body had undergone numerous transformations. Even if he were standing still, normal Supreme attacks would not hurt him.

Yet somehow, Chu Kuangren’s single blow left such a grave injury!

He could have died without the lifesaving medicinal pill!

Where did such a terrifying sky-pride come from?

“Tear me limb from limb? I’d like to see you try.” Chu Kuangren looked at the qi of death swirling around his body with disgust.

He hated this kind of energy.

The four sword qi clones channeled their sword qi and charged at Master Daoist Withered Cloud like four Honorables joining forces. It was terrifying.

Master Daoist Withered Cloud froze in shock.

“Clones? Wait, how are there so many?! What kind of technique is this?!”

He had never seen this technique before. Clone-type techniques were rare enough as it is, let alone one that could create so many.

“Scram!” After all, Master Daoist Withered Cloud was still a Boundary Sage. Even with the blow from Chu Kuangren earlier, his own power was still horrifying.

The instant he shot out his palm, qi of death surged forth like a raging tide.

The four sword qi clones crumbled under the powerful attack!

The four longswords they held fell to the floor with a loud clang.

“Prepare to die, bastard!”

Master Daoist Withered Cloud channeled the qi of death from within him before he struck out his palm which burned with a black flame and emanated gloomy Daoist Rhymes.

However, Chu Kuangren simply tapped the sword case in front of him and out flew eight longswords. The mysterious Daoist Rhymes and majestic sword qi within them immediately forced Master Daoist Withered Cloud back.

The four swords on the ground too rose in the air to resonate with the other longswords, forming a shocking sword formation.

“Looks like I’ll be using you, a Boundary Sage, to test out the power of the Four Seasons Sword Formation.” Chu Kuangren spoke indifferently as he lifted his sword case with one hand.
