Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

The empyrean walkers were all trapped within the sword formation in the air.

Ling Xiao, Xiao Lintian, and others stared daggers at Chu Kuangren. It was as if they desperately wanted to skin him alive.

However, Chu Kuangren remained composed despite everyone’s gazes and said, “Hand me your Jade Amulets now. Don’t make me do this the hard way.”

His tone was calm, as if he was only talking about something trivial.

Everyone gritted their teeth in anger.

“Chu Kuangren, aren’t you going a bit too far by doing this?”

Xiao Lintian took a deep breath and said.

“I can go even further if you don’t hand them over right now.”

“You…”

“Stop it with the stuttering. I don’t have much time to waste with you guys anymore. If you don’t hand it over willingly, then I shall take it from everyone by force. If that happens, I won’t be able to guarantee whether you’ll live by then.”

Everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spine.

They were fully aware that Chu Kuangren was telling them the truth. Besides, he was fully capable of doing so.

That was the most frustrating and scary part for them.

“Chu Kuangren, you’re ruthless!”

Gui Wuchou held his Jade Amulet tightly and eventually had no choice but to toss it over to Chu Kuangren. After all, he did not dare gamble his life in a fight with Chu Kuangren.

Upon seeing that, everyone else also handed their Jade Amulets over reluctantly to Chu Kuangren.

They were extremely unwilling and dissatisfied.

This was a precious chance to obtain an Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune!

Yet, just like that, their opportunity was crushed by Chu Kuangren!

“That’s the spirit. If everyone’s willing to cooperate, we can save a lot of effort. I do not wish to clash swords and make things violent for everyone as well.” Chu Kuangren grinned as he kept all the Jade Amulets.

Everyone was so enraged that their mouths twitched upon seeing Chu Kuangren’s delightful expression. Even Feng Yaorao, who admired Chu Kuangren, could not help but think that he was more evil than the devil himself.

“The heart of a devil, yet with a face of an immortal. This is… unbearably enchanting.” Feng Yaorao licked her lips as she blushed.

“Chu Kuangren, aren’t you afraid that the heavens will punish you by damnation?”

Xiao Lintian glared at Chu Kuangren and uttered fiercely.

“Punished by the heavens?”

“Why don’t you go and find out? Do the heavens dare to punish me?!”

Chu Kuangren stood proudly with his arms crossed, looking like he had turned into a peerless sword. A razor-sharp Sword-based Daoist Rhyme emanated from his body and soared into the sky. It was as if he was going to pierce a hole through the heavens itself.

Everyone trembled.

Feng Yaorao crossed her legs even tighter as she looked at Chu Kuangren’s domineering demeanor. Her gaze became more obsessed.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao, Xiao Lintian, and others cursed him in their hearts.

‘This b*st*rd.’

‘He’s too pretentious!’

‘Almighty heavens, can’t you just strike this guy with a lightning bolt or something?!’

All of them secretly cursed.

Then, numerous clouds rolled in the sky while thunder boomed. At that, everyone’s eyes lit up. ‘Has the heavens heard our wishes?’

However, there was only a slight thunderstorm before the sky cleared up. Nothing happened.

Everyone was disappointed.

Could the heavens be afraid of Chu Kuangren too?

Chu Kuangren put away his sword formation, and in a flash, he dashed towards the Imperial Palace.

All everyone else could do was go crazy and unleash terrifying Daoist Rhymes to vent their anger as they watched his silhouette leave.

Xiao Lintian struck out a fist that landed on a nearby pavilion, which instantly turned into a pile of rubble.

Feng Yaorao remarked. “When he’s around, you guys don’t dare to move a muscle. So what’s the point of venting your anger on these innocent stones now that he’s gone?”

Everyone’s expression became even worse upon hearing her words.

“Although her words are harsh, Sister Feng is right. It’s best if we explore somewhere else and see whether there are any other Opportunities of Fortune.”

Ling Xiao said as he took a deep breath.

Everyone then parted ways.

During this time, in the outside world.

A crowd of Sages was delighted when they saw the glorious palace that had appeared out of thin air.

“Now that’s the real Imperial Palace.”

“A Jade Amulet is required to gain entry into the Imperial Palace. Since Chu Kuangren will not have a Jade Amulet with him, the Opportunities of Fortune he can obtain will surely be limited.”

One of the Sages breathed a sigh of relief.

The others did the same as well.

At that moment, Blackwillow Sage sighed frustratingly. “Actually, Chu Kuangren does have a Jade Amulet.”

With that, the Sage’s newfound hope was shattered.

Blackwillow Sage then told everyone about how Yuan Wudao’s Jade Amulet was stolen.

The other Sages let out a whir.

“D*mn it, how is this guy so lucky?”

“Could he be a child of destiny?”

“D*mn, f*ck this.”

“There’s no point feeling down about this. Although Chu Kuangren’s strength is remarkable, the Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune doesn’t judge people based on power alone. There are other types of trials as well, so our sky-prides will still stand a chance too.”

The Purplevoid Sage of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Palace uttered.

“Yeah, that’s true.”

“We can only hope that’s the case.”

They no longer cared about who the Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune ended up with, as long as it was not Chu Kuangren.

Unfortunately, due to the invisible Emperor’s Aura surrounding the Imperial Palace, their spiritual thoughts could not peer in and see what was happening inside.

Otherwise, they would know that no one else could compete with Chu Kuangren anymore. After all, Chu Kuangren was the only one who could enter the Imperial Palace.

“What?!”

Blackwillow Sage suddenly exclaimed with shock.

He was holding a communication compass with a terribly grim expression. It seemed as if he had received some bad news.

“What happened, Blackwillow?” a Sage asked.

“An empyrean walker from my Acheron Manor… has died!!”

Blackwillow Sage replied in a gloomy tone, “Chu Kuangren, it’s definitely Chu Kuangren who did it. He once said that he will kill Wudao the next time he sees him. I did not expect that he would really have the guts to do it!!”

Blackwillow Sage was consumed by rage.

After all, Yuan Wudao was a peerless sky-pride whom the Acheron Manner had handpicked and trained to be their best candidate for becoming an Emperor!

Yet now, Chu Kuangren had killed him just like that!

How could they possibly stomach this?!

“Chu Kuangren, my Acheron Manor shall never forget this!”

Blackwillow Sage said in a deep voice.

…

At that time, Chu Kuangren, who had become the topic of conversation for the Sages outside, had entered the real Qian Imperial Palace. The moment he stepped foot inside, a vast and majestic Emperor’s Aura immediately wafted past his face, giving him the feeling of wanting to submit right away.

Since Chu Kuangren had experienced the Emperor’s Aura from many Emperors and had a few Emperor Scriptures with him, that incoming Emperor’s Aura was nothing but a slight breeze to him. It simply blew past him without any effect.

Then, he started to observe the Imperial Palace.

The first thing that he saw in the Imperial Palace was the eight zafus placed before him. They were clearly prepared for the eight people who had the Jade Amulets.

At this time, a golden light suddenly illuminated before the zafus.

An illusory figure had appeared before Chu Kuangren.

It was a figure of a man donned in golden long robes with ink-black hair draped over his shoulder and his eyes closed. A powerful surge of Emperor’s Aura was emanating from that man’s body.

“Greetings, sky-prides of the future.”

The man opened his eyes to reveal how bright they were. However, he could not help but look stunned when he saw Chu Kuangren before him, as if something unexpected had just happened.

“It’s just you?” the man asked in surprise.

Chu Kuangren walked up to that man and immediately sat on one of the zafus. He then laid out all eight pieces of Jade Amulets before the man and chuckled. “That’s right. It’s just me.”
