Chapter 154: Chapter 154 - Self-Creating An Emperor Technique, No Winner Or Loser, Shocking

The Sages were peering at the Daoist Rhyme shockwave at Whitelock Mountain.

However, an incredibly terrifying domineering aura erupted from the Daoist Rhyme almost immediately after, frightening the Sages who were peering at it.

To their surprise, that Daoist Rhyme contained a majestic Emperor’s Aura!!

An indomitable white-clad figure slowly emerged before everyone’s eyes. That figure held a longsword as his body emanated an incredibly scary Daoist Rhyme. It was the source of that Emperor Aura that the Sages had felt!

“Who is this?”

“I don’t know. Why is there suddenly an Emperor?”

“No, this isn’t an Emperor. It’s just someone with an Emperor’s Aura. Also, why do I feel like this person is kind of familiar?”

The Sages were communicating with each other through their spiritual thoughts.

Suddenly, one of the Sages said with a shaky voice, “This person looks like… Is he Chu Kuangren?”

“Who?”

“Chu Kuangren, the Lead Disciple of Black Heaven Sect.”

“What? It really is that little fellow.”

The Sage of Black Heaven Sect had also recognized Chu Kuangren, but he was quite skeptical towards the scene that was unfolding before their very eyes

He wondered how Chu Kuangren had an Emperor’s Aura on him.

“No way. Chu Kuangren’s cultivation base is only at the Battle Monarch Realm, and there isn’t any Emperor’s Essence on his body. So where did he get this Emperor’s Aura from? Even if he does have the Emperor’s Essence, it still wouldn’t give him such a powerful Emperor’s Aura, not to mention those kinds of Transformations…”

“If I’m not mistaken, he’s self-creating an Emperor Technique!!”

One of the Sages said, unable to hide the shock in his tone.

At that statement, the rest of the Sages recovered their senses. Upon closer inspection, they found that Chu Kuangren was indeed creating his own Emperor Technique!!

That discovery dumbfounded everyone. Their shock was so great that even distortions started to appear in their spiritual thoughts.

“How… How is that possible?!”

“A Battle Monarch self-creating an Emperor Technique… This is just absurd. I’ve never heard of such a thing throughout the ages.”

The Sages started to express their suspicion after they had recovered from their initial shock.

Such a thing is just too unimaginable.

The Sage of Black Heaven Sect was quite astonished as well. He then burst out into laughter and said, “This little fellow is really full of surprises. He created his own Sage Ruler Technique three years ago, and now he’s creating an Emperor Technique!”

“Haha, God bless our Black Heaven Sect!”

The Black Heaven Sect Sage’s voice reverberated in everyone else’s spiritual thoughts.

All the Sages of the other sects felt extremely envious. How did such an unparalleled sky-pride end up at the Black Heaven Sect?

The space above the Sage Palace.

With a longsword held in one hand, the white-clad figure swung it down abruptly, and an incredibly terrifying Daoist Rhyme swept outwards like a gust of wind.

That swing did not have the incantation of any spiritual power.

However, that Daoist Rhyme alone was scary enough to startle all living beings in Whitelock Mountain, rendering them cowering on the ground. Even the Honorables were shaking in fear.

Meanwhile, the spiritual thoughts of the Sages were also shattered with this one swing of the sword. All of them exclaimed in shock and hastily retreated back to where they came from like a tidal wave.

…

Inside the Sage Palace.

Chu Kuangren integrated all that he had learned into the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique. He had finally managed to raise this Sage Ruler Technique’s level to that of an Emperor Technique.

Chu Kuangren opened his eyes abruptly as the Sword of Heaven above him radiated an endless brilliance. He said to Whitelock Sage once again, “Please accept another hit!”

Buzz… n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Sword of Heaven vibrated lightly, and a purplish sword ray beamed out in an instant.

The menacing Daoist Rhyme that seemed like it was about to rip the sky and earth apart emanated. It made everyone, including the Honorables, narrow their eyes in fear and their faces filled with terror.

Whitelock Sage had a grim expression on his face. He displayed all of his Dao Techniques Realm and the moment he pointed a finger out, the Sage Daoist Rhyme clashed violently with the sword ray.

The two Daoist Rhymes exploded at the same time, encasing the whole palace hall. At that moment, everyone else’s Dao Techniques Realms were oppressed, which made it hard for anyone at the scene to use their Dao Techniques.

Before long, the two Daoist Rhymes gradually dissipated.

Chu Kuangren and Whitelock Sage were both seated on the floor, motionless.

Great astonishment was visible in Whitelock Sage’s eyes.

He had managed to block off that sword technique from Chu Kuangren earlier.

Nevertheless, he knew that he had only managed to do that because Chu Kuangren had just completed the creation of his Emperor Technique, so he was not yet adept at it. Otherwise, it was highly probable that he would have been defeated earlier.

“Unbelievable. I can’t quite believe that there is such an insanely gifted sky-pride like you in this day and age,” Whitelock Sage muttered in disbelief.

Talk about self-creating an Emperor Technique!

That was something only an Emperor could achieve.

Yet Chu Kuangren had managed to achieve that whilst only being in the Battle Monarch Realm. His current realm was still miles apart from that of an Emperor!

What happened earlier was perplexing even for a Sage.

“I have benefitted immensely from this mental spar. Thank you for enlightening me, dear Sage.” A plain smile was etched on Chu Kuangren’s face; he looked content.

He had seized this opportunity to finally improve the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique to the level of an Emperor Technique, which had improved his strength massively.

“So, who won?”

“No idea.”

The cultivators at the scene were quite puzzled.

This sparring was way too enigmatic. It was not something that someone of their level could comprehend, which explained why they were not able to get their heads around what just happened.

However, some of the Honorables were able to figure out bits and pieces of what just happened.

“The Sage did not lose.”

One of the Honorables took a deep breath and said.

Upon hearing what he said, the rest reacted as if they had just found the answer to a difficult riddle.

“I told you so. How is it possible for the Sage to lose?”

“Haha, Chu Kuangren lost.”

“Pfft, so what if he’s a sky-pride? He still can’t beat a Sage.”

“Nah.”

At this moment, that Honorable who had spoken earlier started shaking his head. “The Sage did not lose, but he did not emerge victorious either. I guess you can say that this sparring ended in a draw.”

‘What?’

The crowd was baffled.

‘The level of Chu Kuangren’s Dao Techniques is on par with a Sage’s?’

“Not only that, towards the end, Chu Kuangren even created his very own Emperor Technique!” The Honorable’s voice was visibly shaken.

Clearly, this reality had hit him hard.

Once he finished his sentence, all the cultivators stared at him with their mouths agape.

Self-created an Emperor Technique?!

How was it possible for a King of War to achieve that?

All of them glanced towards the Sage as if they were trying to look for an answer from him.

However, the Sage did not rebut what that Honorable had just said. This action alone undoubtedly confirmed the authenticity of what the Honorable had just said.

At that moment, all the cultivators in the palace were dumbfounded.

“I should’ve known. The Emperor’s Essence in my body was quivering just now. Turns out it was because Chu Kuangren was self-creating an Emperor Technique!” the sky-pride Ao Chang muttered. Deep down, he had already abandoned any hopes he harbored of beating Chu Kuangren.

How could he ever beat a person who was able to create his own Emperor Technique?

“Three years ago, he had everyone under his feet. After coming out of a three-year-long closed-door meditation, and even though the Era of Great Battles had just begun, he had already dominated and made the world into his own private dancefloor. This is disheartening!”

Yuanhong looked up and sighed in despair.

The rest of the sky-prides wore bitter smiles on their melancholic faces too.

They realized that as long as Chu Kuangren existed, the whole world would only have eyes on him.

Chu Kuangren was shining too brightly, much like a blazing sun. Once it was hung up in the sky, would people even notice whoever else was around?

“To be born in the same era as such a person, especially in this alleged Era of Great Battles, is truly demoralizing.”

“Exactly. We’ll never be able to compete with him!”

“Compete? What compete are you even talking about? He is already capable of self-creating an Emperor Technique at the Battle Monarch Realm. Who else would this position of Emperor belong to but him?”

…

The mental spar had ended, and the crowd started leaving.

Chu Kuangren had left too.

Nonetheless, his mental spar with a Sage and his self-creation of an Emperor Technique spread everywhere like wildfire, shocking the whole Firmament Star!

The name of Chu Kuangren had once again become the hot topic of everyone’s discussion!
