Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 53: Strange Mystery Within the Secret Realm, Qi of Death, Full Moon Blade

That single word “animal” enraged every skilled cultivator from the Thunder Falcon Tribe.

All of them stared daggers at Chu Kuangren as their momentum exploded. Terrifyingly violent lightning-based Daoist Rhymes reverberated through the void in the air and pressed towards Chu Kuangren.

At that time, Elder Ruyan coldly asked, “Who dares to make a move here?”

Stepping one foot forward, a domineering aura that was close to the level of an Honorable One erupted instantly!

The auras from the two sides clashed and rumbled the surrounding void.

Chu Kuangren stood in front of the domineering auras indifferently. Normally, a cultivator would be so frightened by that power they would be petrified and immobilized on the spot.

However, he stood his ground, calmly unmoved. The winds that were generated by the domineering auras blew through caused the ends of his robes and his hair to sway violently.

At that point, he looked like a dark fairy, and even more so like an insane fairy!

Many female cultivators were entranced by his looks.

“So crazy, so wonderful.”

“He dared to insult a Young Emperor, this man is crazy and unrestrained.”

“When you take a closer look at that Young Emperor, his looks are far below par when compared to brother Chu over there. Since he’s the one who provokeD and challengeD Chu Kuangren first, I’d say he fully deserves it.”

“Well spoken, if one were to be provoked as such, naturally they would retaliate back in the same manner.”

“I’m afraid the Young Emperor will not let this slide and surrender easily.”

Numerous female cultivators were secretly rooting for Chu Kuangren.

They were also worried for him as well since Lei Ao was a Young Emperor. That title was a symbol of being one of the strongest among the younger generation.

Seeing the Black Heaven Sect and the Thunder Falcon Tribe holding up arms against each other, the experienced cultivators from the other sage orthodoxies all wanted to guard their own interests. Hence, they did not stop whatever was happening.

In other words, they wanted both sides to fight, so that they might have the opportunity to slip in and reap whatever rewards in the end.

“Alright, that’s enough everyone.”

During that moment, the Honorable Cultivator of the Thunder Falcon Tribe calmly spoke.

Not that he was afraid of Elder Ruyan; on the contrary, Elder Ruyan was only at the later stages of Honorable Realm cultivation. She was not a match for him.

It was due to the situation surrounding the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon being more important.

Moreover, he could also sense that there was an even more terrifying existence within the Black Heaven Sect’s camp, and was worried that it might be more powerful than he was.

The experienced cultivators from the Thunder Falcon tribe grunted and retracted their auras respectively.

Lei Ao stared at Chu Kuangren and cunningly laughed. He made a gesture of swiping his finger across his neck. “Chu Kuangren, I’m going to be waiting for you in the Secret Realm!”

Chu Kuangren snorted. “Oh wow, I’m so afraid.”

When Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others beside him saw that, they could not hold back and let out a little laugh. Everyone knew that Chu Kuangren was not taking Lei Ao seriously.

Not far away, the White Lotus Maiden Sage checked out Chu Kuangren with a calm unchanging smile on her face. The only thing new was the added curiosity she had in her eyes.

Beside her, the White Lotus Bachelor Sage gripped his fists as the rage that filled his eyes almost seethed out.

Almost all of the powerful forces and sage orthodoxies from all around the world had gathered. Following that, everyone then decided to start exploring the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon.

Since those above Battle Monarch were not allowed entry, those that qualify would be the Sky-prides from each group. After receiving advice and guidance from their elders, they were all allowed to set foot into that realm.

Whoosh…

A blood-colored beam of light turned into a long rainbow as someone immediately took the lead and went into the Secret Realm.

It was the Spirit Blood Child of the Yasha tribe.

Fangtian, Lin Batian, Gu Changge, and the others followed suit right after.

“Hey kid, I’ll not be able to enter this Secret Realm, so you’ll have to be ever so cautious when you’re inside.” The Seventh Forefather’s voice resounded in Chu Kuangren’s mind.

Chu Kuangren nodded slightly and led the others into the Secret Realm.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, Chu Kuangren instantly felt a surge of spatial energy dragging his body.

Following that, a bright light flashed across his eyes, and the next thing he knew, he was somewhere beside a lake.

However, Lan Yu, Nangong Huang, and the others were nowhere to be seen.

“We must have been separated by some sort of spatial energy just now.” Chu Kuangren frowned and let his spiritual thoughts flow and spread out. After searching outwards for hundreds of miles, he still could not find Lan Yu and the others.

“Based on Lan Yu and the others’ abilities, they should be fine. Let’s start first by exploring this area.” Chu Kuangren thought.

The area of this Luminous Moon Secret Realm was more vast compared to Yuan Ling’s artificial realm that Chu Kuangren went to last time. The end of the Spirit Realm in each direction was out of sight.

Chu Kuangren walked for half a day within the Secret Realm. He did not encounter anything like the Opportunities of Fortune. He instead found out that the area of the Secret Realm he was in was very… Corrupted!

Within the Secret Realm, the water there was polluted, still, and dead, while the trees consisted of deadwood void of any signs of life. Not even a single sparrow or ant could be found anywhere.

The heavens and earth in that realm were filled with a silent atmosphere of death.

Some areas were even riddled with a gray-colored mist.

“This mist seems unpleasant.”

Chu Kuangren frowned and looked at the gray mist before him. He felt that the air around him was filled and permeated by a rotting death-like qi.

At that moment, a chilling shriek could be heard from afar.

Chu Kuangren moved instantly and headed towards the source of that cry.

Within the mountain range, around ten well-equipped soldiers were surrounding and attacking a mysterious monster with black fur all over its back.

That monster looked like a dog with its bloodshot eyes. It let out a menacingly frightful killing aura, which frightened everyone in the vicinity.

The surrounding soldiers attacked the beast with swords and spears. However, their attacks were ineffective as the beast’s hide was impenetrable.

On the contrary, the sharp claws and teeth of the beast could easily tear through the armor on their bodies and critically wound them.

“Step aside!”

Chu Kuangren darted out and came before everyone.

With the Descendant Self sword in his grip, he swung the blade and let out an incomparably razor-sharp sword qi, easily splitting the beast in half.

“It’s Chu Kuangren!”

“Thank god, we’re saved.”

“He’s truly a peerless Sky-pride, being able to defeat a monster like that.”

The soldiers around him gave him a feeling that they were the remaining ones left behind by someone.

Then again, there was only one type of soldier that entered the Luminous Moon Secret Realm, which was the ones that came from the Royal Azure Dynasty under Princess Linglong and Gu Changge’s command.

Chu Kuangren ignored them and investigated the body of the monster that he had slain. Its body also emanated the same aura as the gray-colored mist earlier, an aura full of decadence, decay, and rot.

“This aura, what in the world is it?”

Chu Kuangren murmured.

“That’s the Qi of Death!” Right then, a female voice was heard from somewhere.

From the distance came a woman in Chinese robes. The surrounding soldiers saw her and immediately saluted. “Greetings your royal highness.”

The one who came was Princess Linglong. Although surprised, Chu Kuangren was more interested in the Qi of Death that she had mentioned.

Princess Linglong came and said, “This Qi of Death is very archaic, and can even be traced back to the time of the body of an ancient emperor. It has also appeared several times in eras without an emperor.”

“This Qi of Death is lethal and contains the very essence of death within. Any monsters or beasts which are infected by this qi will lose their minds and grow black hair or fur on their bodies. The records labeled them as… Black Death Beasts!”

Chu Kuangren’s expression tightened after hearing those words.

‘First of all, why did the Qi of Death appear inside the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon?’

“There’s no doubt that the Luminous Moon Sage has fallen. According to ancient records, once the Luminous Moon Sage fell, red rain fell from the sky. The days were endless and a weird occurrence of a Heavenly Dog eating the moon happened. The heavens and earth are filled with sorrow because of this.”

“But why does the Qi of Death appear within his Secret Realm? This is very puzzling indeed.” Even Princess Linglong was confused in thought.

“No point thinking about this too much, let’s continue exploring.” Chu Kuangren said.

“Alright.”

Princess Linglong nodded. There were indeed too many uncertain factors in this mysterious Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon. With another person around it meant another additional portion of strength gained. The two of them unspokenly partnered up and ventured out.

“Look over there!”

A blade could be seen stuck onto the ground, located on the peak of a nearby mountain. Multiple lines of runes and even a pattern of a full moon could be seen carved onto the sword.

The blade stuck on the mountain peak was emanating surges of Sage Qi. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the Sage Qi that the surrounding lands around the mountain were still lush green, and not as ruined and decaying as the other locations.

“The Full Moon Blade! The Luminous Moon Sage’s sword!”
