Chapter 327: Entering The Cottage, A White-haired Man And A Woman’s Head
Chu Kuangren walked towards the cottage, one step after another.
His pace was not fast, but it was extraordinarily steady. On the other hand, the other Sages could only move ahead by one or two steps at once despite doing their best.
“This is bad. If this goes on, the treasures in the cottage will be taken away by this guy!” Eversodden Sage thought.
He took a deep breath and then took out a piece of jade talisman. Its surface was exquisite, bright, fine-textured, and it contained a surge of Emperor’s Aura as well!
Everyone’s expressions changed slightly upon seeing that. “An Emperor Weapon?”
“No, that’s not an Emperor Weapon. It could just be something that an Emperor had worn during their lifetime, so it eventually has an aura of its own after being influenced by the Emperor’s energy.”
“I can’t believe Eversodden Sage has an item like this on him.”
Everyone was a little bit surprised.
Once he took out that jade talisman, the Emperor’s Aura on it started to collide and resist with the one that was coming from the cottage, making things a lot easier for Eversodden Sage. As his pace quickened, he soon caught up with Chu Kuangren.
The other Sages had started to use their tricks or techniques as well.
Some of them used a secret technique to enhance their body’s Daoist Rhyme, while some used Sage Weapons to increase their strength, and some started to emanate their hard-cultivated Sage Daoist Rhyme…
However, no matter what kind of techniques they used, they still could not top the Eversodden Sage’s jade talisman. Just that jade talisman alone was enough to replace all of the other Sages’ techniques combined. Only an Emperor’s Aura could resist another!
This was the most effective method there was.
An Emperor Suppressing All Abilities!
Any other techniques would only be suppressed by the Emperor Dao.
Very soon, Eversodden Sage was walking side by side with Chu Kuangren. There were only twelve meters left to go between them and the cottage.
“Fellow Daoist Brother, your abilities are truly remarkable. But this is still the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands’ territory, so the treasures inside that cottage will undoubtedly belong to us,” Eversodden Sage said confidently.
Chu Kuangren took a glance at him but said nothing.
Crack.
At that time, a clear and crisp sound was heard.
Multiple cracks were forming on Eversodden Sage’s jade talisman, which meant that the Emperor’s Aura from that talisman was nearly depleted!
As more crisp cracking sounds were heard, the jade talisman in Eversodden Sage’s hand shattered into dust upon the final crack.
It was then carried away by a gust of wind.
“What?” Eversodden Sage’s expression changed.
After losing the Emperor’s Aura’s resistance from the destroyed jade talisman, Eversodden Sage was almost crushed onto the ground.
“D*mn it!” Eversodden Sage bent his knees as he channeled every ounce of strength from his body to resist the extremely overbearing Emperor’s Aura that surrounded him.
“Heh, I suggest you focus on standing up first before saying anything else.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He then straightened his back and walked towards the cottage slowly.
“D*mn that brat!”
Eversodden Sage was so angry by Chu Kuangren mocking him, and even though he so desperately wanted to catch up to his opponent, he could not.
Then, he took out a piece of broken saber.
A horrifying surge of Emperor’s Aura emanated from that piece of broken saber.
“That’s an Emperor Weapon, and a broken Emperor Weapon it seems.”
A look of surprise flashed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
He did not expect Eversodden Sage to have something like that, nor the jade talisman which contained an Emperor’s Aura.
It seemed that the Eversodden Sage’s Opportunity of Fortune was quite good.
“Everything inside that cottage can only be mine!” Holding that piece of broken saber, the Eversodden Sage unleashed the Emperor’s Aura it contained.
He soon caught up with Chu Kuangren again.
By then, both of them were only about six meters away from the cottage, leaving all the other Sages behind them.
“The items inside there belong to me.”
The Eversodden Sage walked past Chu Kuangen as he headed towards the cottage quickly. Five meters, five and a half meters, four meters, four and a half meters…
When there were only three meters left to go, Eversodden Sage’s pace began to slow down again. Each step he took was extremely difficult.
Behind him, Chu Kuangren too noticed that the Emperor’s Aura at the last three meters to the cottage was on a level higher.
Chu Kuangren also felt its pressure bearing upon him.
‘Am I going to give up just like that?’
‘No!’
‘How can I ever give up!’
Within Chu Kuangren’s spiritual mound, his Six Supreme Foundation Levels radiated brightly and his three Supreme Daoist Physiques activated all at once to resist the suppression of the Emperor’s Aura!
The crowd of Sages behind Chu Kuangren were all dumbfounded and could not believe that they were seeing surges of various Daoist Rhymes surges swirling around his body.
“F*ck me! He has that many Daoist Physiques?”
“How the hell did he manage to do it?”
“Three Supreme Daoist Physiques? By the heavens, how can such a horrifying being exist in this world! I can’t believe someone like this has emerged within the Four Domains!”
The Sages were extremely shocked.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren was within three meters before the cottage, standing beside the Eversodden Sage who was holding the piece of broken saber.
He had also felt the frightening surge of Emperor’s Aura.
‘No wonder Eversodden Sage looks so exhausted even with that broken Emperor Weapon. The Emperor’s Aura here is extremely terrifying.’
Despite giving it his all, Chu Kuangren still felt it was extremely laborious. Just as he was about to use the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art, the Eternal Emperor Scripture and Mindful Emperor Scripture inside his Yin and Yang ring suddenly unleashed two different surges of Emperor’s Aura at the same time! It was as if they had sensed something.
Seemingly triggered by the Emperor’s Aura within that cottage, the aura that was released by the two Emperor Scriptures was far stronger this time than when Chu Kuangren had gained insights from them.
The two surges of Emperor’s Aura surrounded Chu Kuangren, repelling the Emperor’s Aura that was coming from the cottage.
“I didn’t know something like this can happen.”
Chu Kuangren grinned as he walked towards the cottage in a leisurely manner, like he was strolling through a courtyard. His pace now was quicker than it was before.
Upon seeing this, Eversodden Sage, who was desperately urging all his strength to resist the Emperor’s Aura, was stunned. He did not dare believe his eyes.
“What’s going on? How can he walk so effortlessly?”
“What technique is he using?”
Besides the Eversodden Sage, the other Sages at the scene, including the Four Domains’ Sages who were familiar with Chu Kuangren’s strength, were astonished.
‘The Emperor’s Aura is supposedly the densest and strongest at the last three meters to the cottage so it’s the hardest to go through. But how is Chu Kuangren walking through it so easily?’
Very quickly, Chu Kuangren had arrived at the cottage entrance.
“No, you shall not enter!”
“Everything inside belongs to me! You’re now allowed to take any of them!”
Eversodden Sage yelled behind Chu Kuangren.
He urged forth all his strength and managed to take two steps ahead. However, he was still around two meters away from Chu Kuangren.
In a moment of panic, he tried to channel his spiritual power and unleash a palm attack at Chu Kuangren. However, the palm qi was disintegrated by the Emperor’s Aura before it could even reach his opponent. His attack did not reach Chu Kuangren at all.
“Heh, just take your time and walk slowly. I’ll go in and have a look first.” Chu Kuangren smiled cheerfully as he pushed open the cottage’s wooden door.
When he went in, he noticed that the inside was no different from any other cottage, but there was a man who was sitting with his legs crossed on the bed.
It was a huge, handsome, white-haired man who had mysterious Daoist Rhymes swirling around his body. Despite sitting there unmoved, he still let off an overbearing presence.
However, it was not the white-haired man who had attracted Chu Kuangren’s attention but the item that was in front of him instead. It was someone’s… head!
It was a woman’s head, to be precise. Her face had beautiful features and had the appearance of a jade sculpture. This head was simply placed on the bed.
As for the Emperor’s Aura that came out from the cottage and filled the whole island, it was emanating from that woman’s head!
That was right! It was not from that complete white-haired man, but the woman’s remaining head instead!
“What kind of person was she during her lifetime?”
Such a thought could not help but pop up in Chu Kuangren’s mind.
