Chapter 476: Volcano Nourished By Leylines, The Sky-Prides’ Grab For Treasures
The domineering aura that instantly swept through the whole Nebula Daoist State piqued the White-Robed General’s interest. “Since Qingxue still hasn’t woken up yet, I wish to give her a gift for our first meeting. These Opportunities of Fortune here will do just the right job.”
Chu Kuangren nodded. “Yes.”
He was interested in those Opportunities of Fortune as well. Using his Treasure Locating Skill, large amounts of information regarding the treasures poured into his mind.
“Oh, there’s quite a lot it seems.” Chu Kuangren was a little surprised.
Although most of the items he detected did not interest him, there were still some that he could find useful. For instance, he had discovered the presence of a few Boundary Emperor-grade items.
There was even an Emperor-grade treasure as well!
…
“Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a Legendary-grade formation technique – Sealing Sword Formation!”
While on the way to the Opportunities of Fortune, Chu Kuangren rolled from the Fantasy Roulette as usual and was quite satisfied with what he got from it.
He had already gotten quite a few Legendary-grade prizes like Emperor Scriptures, Emperor Weapons, and Sword Formations.
However, who would complain about getting more Legendary-grade prizes?
The Sealing Sword Formation was similar to the Four Seasons Sword Formation in the sense that both were extremely powerful sword formations. However, their functions were different.
The Four Seasons Sword Formation was meant for offense, while the Sealing Sword Formation was meant for… sealing!
Chu Kuangren retrieved that formation technique and left it alone.
Soon after.
He and the White-Robed General had arrived at the location of the treasure.
It was a huge volcano opening with extremely hot fire-based energy flooding the surrounding area. Quite a few cultivators had arrived there as well.
“This is a volcano that’s nourished by the surrounding leylines!”
Some of the more observant cultivators recognized the true source of those Opportunities of Fortune.
“Rumors have it that leylines can be categorized into non-elemental leylines and elemental leylines. Among them, elemental leylines generally tend to produce more treasures. Since this volcano underground is connected to fire elemental leyline, it seems like the quality is quite good as well. This volcano must have accumulated countless fire-based earth qi throughout the years. Seeing that it’s ready to erupt at any moment, it must have reached its limit today.”
The Parchprime Palace Lord explained knowledgeably.
His expression also changed slightly upon noticing Chu Kuangren and the White-Robed General in the distance. He then pretended not to see them.
Chu Kuangren ignored him as well.
His gaze swept across the crowd of cultivators that were at the volcano.
He activated his Eye of Revolution.
Most of the cultivators were not even worth his interest.
However, there were some cultivators that attracted his attention.
Those were the sky-prides on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.
To be precise, the sky-prides who were top ten on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.
Besides Zhan Hongying whom he had met in the Acheron Manor, there was also Xiao Jingchen, Wang Tianteng, Yuling, and the others.
Those people were the ones that came from orthodoxies with histories as far back as the past ancient and even the archaic ancient times.
What surprised Chu Kuangren the most was Xiao Jingchen.
Besides being ranked third on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard and descending from the Nine Heaven’s Bai family that existed since archaic ancient times, Xiao Jingchen was also the Heavenly Golden Palace’s first Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique host from several thousand years ago. He was none other than the one who had challenged Chu Kuangren previously as well.
“It seems he survived from what happened at the Heavenly Golden palace. How lucky of him. Did he secretly flee when I was battling Boundary Emperor Wuyue?”
Chu Kuangren mumbled. His eyes lit up as he looked at Xiao Jingchen as if figuring out whether he should kill him off that instant.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jingchen could not help but shudder upon noticing Chu Kuangren’s gaze. He stood afar and did not dare to make eye contact with him. Despite Chu Kuangren having wiped out his orthodoxy, he was still afraid to display any sign of hostility towards him.
He was worried that Chu Kuangren would suddenly seek him out and kill him.
However, Xiao Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief when Chu Kuangren’s gaze shifted after a while. He looked too lazy to be bothered by him.
It was as if he knew that he was too weak and was not worth the trouble.
“This person is just too terrifying. As of now, I’m definitely not a match for him. If I can avoid a conflict with someone, he will undoubtedly be the first person that I won’t provoke.”
Xiao Jingchen thought.
In his opinion, staying alive was the only thing that mattered!
There was nothing to be ashamed of for behaving a little frightened right now.
Upon noticing Xiao Jingchen’s expression, Chu Kuangren was able to see through his opponent and make out his thoughts.
Whether he should kill him or not was a thought. After all, killing Xiao Jingchen to him was as easy as lifting a hand. It was effortless.
As such, he might as well keep him alive for now.
Perhaps Xiao Jingchen might be of some use to him in the future.
‘Archaic ancient orthodoxies, Bai family…’
‘Hmmm, I should be more attentive to the matters concerning the Nine Heavens.’
‘The Emperors are all there after all.’
Chu Kuangren thought.
While Chu Kuangren was observing the Nine Heavens sky-prides, they were all checking him out as well. However, they had a frightened and solemn look in their eyes.
“So that’s Chu Kuangren?” Wang Tianteng, who hailed from the archaic Wang family, looked at Chu Kuangren and asked seriously.
“This dude really looks good.”
A gorgeous and hot woman with a slender figure licked her lips and uttered. There was a brilliant glint in her beautiful eyes as she looked at him, and her five fiery and fluffy tails wagged behind her unconsciously.
That sky-pride was Hu Meiren who hailed from the archaic Heavenly Fox Tribe.
“Hmph, sl*tty fox.”
Wang Tianteng glanced at her and grunted.
“Tsk, Chu Kuangren, huh? That guy may very well be the largest obstacle we’re going to face in the human realm!” A young man, who was hiding under a cloak, lifted his head to glance at Chu Kuangren before he immediately retracted his gaze.
As for that guy, he was not from the Nine Heavens nor the Firmament Star. Instead, he was a sky-pride from the Underworld Demonic Realm, and his name was Touba.
Rumble… Rumble… Rumble…
At that moment, the volcano started to rumble violently.
Large amounts of lava began to gush out from it.
Along with the lava, countless leylines-produced treasures were shot out in all directions from the volcanic eruption’s huge impact.
Every sky-pride and Sage immediately dashed towards to get their hands on those items.
Most of those treasures were Sage-grade items. Hence, they were quite valuable and rare.
“Haha, these treasures are mine.”
Wang Tengtian laughed as he stepped forward and reached out his hand to form a huge colorful spiritual-power hand with five types of Daoist Rhyme swirling around it. That technique was an incredibly terrifying one since it was a powerful Boundary Emperor Technique.
He reached out and grabbed dozens of treasures at one go, sending the cultivators who were in the way of that palm technique flying.
“Lil Pip, fetch!”
Zhan Hongying ordered.
At that time, the bundle of black mist behind her let out a low growl and immediately rushed towards those treasures.
During that process, the bundle of black mist dispersed and revealed a ferocious black demonic wolf. With its mouth opened wide, it skillfully bit onto a few of the treasures and tossed them into the Yin and Yang ring it had hanging around its neck.
“An underworld demonic wolf? Judging by its aura, it’s part of the highest-ranked alpha wolf species as well.” Touba, the Underworld sky-pride, glanced at Zhan Hongying in shock and immediately changed his intention of taking action at that time.
The person before him must undoubtedly come from that tribe.
If she discovered that he came from the Underworld, a vicious battle would be inevitable. Hence, he decided to hold back and be patient for the bigger picture.
Meanwhile, somewhere else.
Hu Meiren’s tails wagged, releasing a strangely alluring and seductive scent that permeated everywhere. Some of the cultivators nearby, who had obtained treasures themselves, suddenly found their vision blurry and handed her their items instead.
“Thanks a lot, guys.”
Hu Meiren giggled upon receiving a pile of treasures without any effort at all. This made many cultivators frightened of her abilities, and they cursed her as a demon lady. However, they could not nor were willing to take their eyes off her attractive and provocative figure.
The sky-prides used their techniques respectively to snatch as many treasures as they could.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren’s white-robed figure merely stood still in the air.
