Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws-Novel

Chapter 393: The Power Of Rune Dao, Entering The Imperial Palace, Teaming Up Against The Strong

The Ethereal Rapture’s Sage did not have a very good impression of Chu Kuangren.

The other day, Chu Kuangren had taken away so many of their Exquisite-tier chalcedonies and even Celestial cores that they would kill to eat him up right now.

Now that their adversary was in a perilous position, the Ethereal Rapture’s Sage was very delighted.

However, he was soon let down again.

That was because Chu Kuangren showed no signs of frustration or worry even in such a tricky situation.

That peerless face of his remained calm and composed throughout this entire time.

If the Ethereal Rapture’s Sage looked closer, he could even see a slight incline at the edge of Chu Kuangren’s mouth curled up into a smug.

“This fella...”

The Ethereal Rapture’s Sage quickly grew disgruntled.

It was not just him. The other Sages, too, felt like they were throwing blank punches at a wall, not accomplishing anything at all. They were starting to feel dejected.

It was clear that they had outnumbered Chu Kuangren and had successfully stopped him from entering the Imperial Palace. Yet, why did they feel like they were the ones who had lost?

After they glanced at the looks that the cultivators around gave them, the dejected feeling became more obvious.

They seemed to have understood something by the looks of the crowd.

A dozen Sages were attacking their junior. How could they be proud of that?

A dozen Sages were attacking their junior, but their target was not the slightest bit harmed. How dare they say that they were some mighty Sages?

“Screw it. As long as we stop Chu Kuangren from entering the Imperial Palace, nothing else matters.”

Blackwillow Sage said nonchalantly. As a demonic cultivator Sage, his face was thicker than the other Sages. He did not feel any remorse at all for their ganging up on Chu Kuangren.

“I mean, don’t you guys notice anything at all?”

Suddenly, Chu Kuangren spoke up.

Upon hearing what he said, everyone at the scene frowned. Nobody knew what he was talking about.

Chu Kuangren shook his head at their confused faces before he raised his hand and made a snap.

Within an instant, a strange energy fluctuation appeared in the air.

This energy fluctuation made the group of Sages flinch. All of them were now vigilant as they checked their surroundings.

“What’s going on?”

“Why is there such a strange occurrence?”

Mysterious runes began to appear in the void. Some looked like swords, some looked like flames, while others looked like beasts...

All types of runes gleamed the sky in various colors. They looked incredibly mystical.

However, the sight of that baffled everyone at the scene.

“Runes... Why are there suddenly so many runes here?!”

“When did this bugger carve out these runes? This b*stard. How did he pull this off?!”

The Sages were gasping in astonishment. They never knew Chu Kuangren had knowledge of a runic technique!!

How did this guy know of runic Dao?!

The Sages could not scratch their heads over this.

The hundred thousands of cultivators at the scene were even more puzzled.

“Ladies and gentlemen, may you all enjoy this runic hodgepodge.”

Chu Kuangren let out a slight smile.

As soon as he finished his sentence, the many types of runes that were carved in the sky abruptly exploded. All kinds of energies struck down at the Sages.

Fire energy, ice energy, sword qi, gravitational energy...

At once, the entire sky was illuminated in colorful lights, looking extremely dazzling.

The Sages were so caught off guard by Chu Kuangren’s knowledge of runic Dao that they frantically fended off those runes in helter-skelter.

“See you.”

Chu Kuangren did not continue his fight with the Sages. Instead, he seized this opportunity to dash towards the Imperial Palace.

“Don’t you dare!”

The Sacred Palace of Death Sage shouted and thrust a finger towards Chu Kuangren’s back. A horrific qi of death amassed and transformed into a dreadful finger strength.

“Finger of Despair!”

Despite that, Chu Kuangren continued to make his way to the Imperial Palace without looking back.

Just as that finger strength was about to strike onto Chu Kuangren’s body, a golden rune emerged in the sky and turned into a golden light barrier.

With a loud bang, the finger strength shattered the light barrier but also disintegrated itself in the process, not dealing any damage to Chu Kuangren at all.

“D*mn it!!”

The Sacred Palace of Death Sage cussed out. “I can’t believe this fella has even mapped out the route to the Imperial Palace. He had already set up some runes to prevent anyone from giving chase. D*mn him, how does he know runic Dao?”

Runic Dao is extremely mysterious. There were less than a handful of cultivators who could cultivate runic Dao to full realization. Moreover, Chu Kuangren was still young, so how did he have such a comprehensive ability in runes?

Everyone did not understand.

Regardless, they could only watch as Chu Kuangren made his way into the Imperial Palace.

“I really hate this guy!”

“What are those sky-prides going to do now?!”

Everyone exchanged nervous glances. Compared to Chu Kuangren, those sky-prides inside the Imperial Palace were like a herd of sheep.

Now, a tiger was entering the sheep herd, but who could stop him now?

“Sigh, is this fated?”

“Is Chu Kuangren destined to become an Emperor in this era?!”

...

Qian Imperial Palace.

As a residence of an ancient Emperor, this place had always been sealed in the void until its reappearance now. Thus, this place did not look too dilapidated. Conversely, it looked incredibly magnificent and glorious.

After entering the Imperial Palace, Chu Kuangren immediately initiated his Treasure Locating Skill.

Information about all kinds of treasures was fed back to him.

Nonetheless, something made him raise an eyebrow.

“Not that there’s a lack of treasures here, but all of these are Sage-grade treasures. Compared to the Serpent Deity’s private stash, these things are not really precious and useful for me. Are there no Emperor-grade treasures in here?”

Chu Kuangren thought to himself.

Emperor-grade treasures were what he really yearned for.

He continued using the Treasure Locating Skill for a while more but still could not find any traces of Emperor-grade treasures. That was when his Treasure Locating Skill touched a layer of strange barrier and was deflected back.

He looked toward the very center of the Imperial Palace. “Oh, is it in there?”

After pondering for a moment, Chu Kuangren decided to make a move.

He could sense that the barrier was a layer of forbidden seal force. Perhaps the forbidden area had not revealed itself to the realm because the time was not right yet.

“Let me just loot the other treasures in the meantime.”

Chu Kuangren thought.

Although these Sage-grade treasures were not very helpful to him, they were still a pile of extremely valuable cultivation resources.

It would serve some great use if he brought it back to the Black Heaven Sect.

...

Inside the Qian Imperial Palace.

A group of sky-prides was gathered in an elixir field.

Numerous herbs and pills grew on this herb field. There were even large piles of sage-grade pills that were extremely rare in the outside world.

Not counting the other treasures of the Imperial Palace, this elixir field alone was enough to drive any orthodoxy in Firmament Star ecstatic.

The sky-prides who were there stared at those elixirs with desire-filled eyes.

Nevertheless, most of the sky-prides dared not do anything.

It was because a dozen or so empyrean walkers were gathered at the very middle of this elixir field. All they were doing was standing there, but their mere presence was enough to intimidate everyone.

“How shall we divide these supreme elixirs? Does anyone have any suggestions?”

Xue Zheng from Ethereal Rapture said.

“Pfft, how else do you want to divide this? Whoever’s stronger here gets the biggest share, of course.” Heavenly Golden Palace’s Xiao Lintian flashed a cold grin and said.

Of all the sky-prides here, he was the strongest.

Hence, his extreme confidence!

“Brother Xiao, you really are straightforward. However, can you alone take on the combined forces of all of us?” Ling Xiao said bluntly.

Upon hearing that, the other empyrean walkers threw glances at Xiao Lintian too. A hostile look beamed from their eyes.

Xiao Lintian frowned at the scene before him and let out a scoff. “Intimidating a lone person with numbers... Is this how you guys do things?!”

“We call this teaming up against the strong,” Ling Xiao replied.

“Pfft.”

Xiao Lintian jeered back.

Although he was alone, he was not afraid of anyone here.

However, to take on so many empyrean walkers at once would still be an extremely arduous task for someone as powerful as him.
