Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

After causing some troubles and even chasing the Nether Abyss Valley Lord out of his own territory, Chu Kuangren somehow became a distinguished guest of the Nether Abyss Valley.

As such, he ventured deep into the region and arrived at a cavern.

Chu Kuangren was not afraid of the Boundary Emperors. Although he was no match for all of them combined, he was still capable of protecting himself. However, to guarantee the safety of his Godly Phoenix, Chu Kuangren had teleported the Godly Phoenix back to Black Heaven Sect with his Spatial Conveyor Skill.

Deep within the Nether Abyss Valley, Chu Kuangren gathered with the Boundary Emperors.

They conversed over a large range of topics, and Chu Kuangren had many questions that he wanted to understand from them.

One of the questions was if entities like them existed in the other Forbidden Areas.

Indeed, there were many others like them.

Apart from the Ancient Battlefield and Misty Ocean, ancient warriors like them had found shelter in the remaining eight Great Forbidden Areas.

“Now that everyone’s together, why don’t we spar for a moment?”

One of the Boundary Emperors suggested.

“Hmm, that seems like a good suggestion. Most of us have either been in deep slumber or self-isolation, so this does seem like a rare opportunity for us to host a meaningful sparring session. It’s a good way to find out if our cultivation level has dwindled after all these years.”

“Indeed, and besides, Brother Chu is here as well. I’m curious to see how far he is in his Daoist Techniques Realm.”

Chu Kuangren smiled and said, “I don’t mind either.”

He was also curious how strong his Daoist Techniques Realm had become.

The group gathered closer. Apart from Chu Kuangren, every participant there was a Boundary Emperor, and there were more than a dozen of them.

As the sparring commenced, Boundary Emperor Tian Xue was the first to display her Daoist Rhymes. Since she was skilled in Ice-based Dao, the release of her Daoist Rhymes seemed to lower the surrounding temperature to a freezing point before an ice sword formed above her.

The other Boundary Emperors began to unleash theirs too. There were displays of Fire-based Dao, Water-based Dao, Five Ways Dao, and more…

As the various forms of Daoist Rhymes intersected in the air, it converged and formed into a majestic Daoist painting.

The Nether Abyss Valley shook in its presence.

Chu Kuangren pondered deeply as he stared into the display. Then, he proceeded to unleash his own form of Daoist Rhyme. It was a remarkably sharp Dao that seemed capable of tearing the realm apart!

Once Chu Kuangren’s Daoist Rhymes were included in the ‘painting’, the entire canvas seemed like it was about to be ripped apart.

“What a remarkable Sword-based Daoist Rhyme.”

“How deserving of a Supreme Sage. Your ability has far surpassed any ordinary Sages.”

“I couldn’t even reach one-tenth of his strength when I was a Sage.”

The Boundary Emperors gasped in shock.

As the sparring continued, the Boundary Emperors each showed off their unique interpretation of the Dao.

Chu Kuangren’s technique stood out the most amongst the rest. He was skilled in many moves, including Emperor Techniques. His first technique was the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique. From the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique that he had first learned to the sword qi clone technique, Raging Gods Fist, Heart Piercing Finger, Palms of Sorrow, and Tathagata Rebirth Mantra — many different Daoist Rhymes were manifesting from his body.

His glorious display of techniques alone had outshone all of the other Boundary Emperors.

The Boundary Emperors were so shocked that they now saw Chu Kuangren as a strange creature.

At the end of the spar, the Boundary Emperors were deeply impressed by Chu Kuangren’s mastery over his Daoist techniques. However, Chu Kuangren was dwelling within his own thoughts. There were no signs of joy written over his face.

“Brother Chu, your insights into the Dao are indeed impressive and unprecedented. Perhaps even we old hags are no match for you. However, the Dao you have learned is still someone else’s rather than your own Dao.”

One of the elderly Boundary Emperors said calmly. Apart from the Nether Abyss Valley Lord, he was the strongest Boundary Emperors in the group.

Hence, he could immediately tell what was bothering Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren nodded and said, “You’re right, brother.”

“Although you will still be strong by doing so, it is only through discovering your own Dao that you’ll reach your fullest potential!” the elder continued.

This was the cultivation journey of a Boundary Emperor.

Although the Boundary Emperors had learned countless techniques over the years, they were now determined to walk their path of Dao. After all, as strong as these techniques were, a cultivator would only be chasing after the shadow of another person if they were only focused on imitating their techniques.

Every Emperor was a powerful cultivator who had successfully walked their own path of Dao and remained resilient till the end!

“My own Dao?” Chu Kuangren murmured.

“Brother Chu, your insights into the Dao are not weaker than the inventor of the techniques you’re using. In fact, your ability may very well surpass theirs. You can just pick one of these paths at random and make it yours. It’s not impossible as some Emperors have managed to ascend through this manner.”

“Otherwise, another possibility you can do is pick the path of Transcendent Coalescence, uniting the countless techniques into one. Since you have the Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique and the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, perhaps the path of the Single Strike Technique may suit you well. It’s one of the most remarkable paths there is.”

Another two Boundary Emperors remarked.

“Watch your words.” The elderly Boundary Emperor glared at the other two Boundary Emperors.

Discovering one’s own Dao was deemed as a sacred decision that should not be influenced by an outsider. It must be discovered by one’s own effort and will.

Knowing that they had crossed the lines, the Boundary Emperors did not comment further.

“Single Strike Technique…” Chu Kuangren pondered deeply. It was the path that he had chosen many years ago and one that he was still pursuing to this day. However, apart from the Single Strike Technique, Chu Kuangren was still well-versed in many other techniques. Was it truly the Dao he needed?

The knowledge that Chu Kuangren had amassed over his life began to flash across his mind. Sword techniques, Buddhist techniques, fist techniques, finger techniques, palm techniques, runic techniques, alchemy…

There were too many of them.

Chu Kuangren knew too much and had even achieved mastery in many of these fields.

However, Chu Kuangren did not feel proud of it at all. In fact, he now struggled over deciding which path was the best for him!

Should he abandon some paths in pursuit of the singular path that suited him most?

As Chu Kuangren pondered further, his memories brought him back to many years in the past, back when he had just stepped into this world.

It was a pleasant, sunny day. Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu were just about to venture beyond the Black Heaven Sect, with Honorable Xuan Qi and the elders sending him off.

Before Chu Kuangren left, he said, “Let them bloom and sprout, for I alone shall stand out.” Since then, those words had made him a favorite target amongst many sky-prides.

It was also these words that marked the beginning of his cultivation journey.

Since then, Chu Kuangren had defeated sky-prides, slain formidable enemies, infiltrated secret realms, slaughtered demonic cultivators, and even annihilated entire orthodoxies…

Now, Chu Kuangren was not only an undefeatable cultivator of his generation, but he was also victorious over the entire world!

Ever since he came to this world, Chu Kuangren had not lost a single fight!

That was right!

Not one!

Chu Kuangren was the first in history to have defeated thousands of battles!

His path was one that no one was capable of walking since the dawn of time!

Who in history had dared to claim themselves as undefeatable or as infallible?!

Chu Kuangren did!

The path that Chu Kuangren had chosen was the path of becoming undefeatable!

Victorious over the world, undefeated by every cultivator!

It did not matter what techniques Chu Kuangren had learned, be it sword techniques, fist techniques, and runic techniques!

All of it was just a means to an end.

Once Chu Kuangren became undefeatable, every technique that he unleashed would also become unstoppable!

Chu Kuangren’s eyes began to burn with passion, and he unleashed a gush of indescribably terrifying Daoist Rhymes from his body!

Chu Kuangren’s aura was now different from what he had previously displayed in the sparring session. It was an aura that contained unwavering confidence, and no one was able to ignore Chu Kuangren’s presence. Through his aura, they could feel his keen desire to triumph over the entire world.

With that, all the Boundary Emperors’ Daoist Rhymes were overwhelmed by Chu Kuangren’s domineering presence.

The expressions on the Boundary Emperors’ faces shifted.

“He has discovered his path!”

“What a terrifying aura. It seems like his path is not an easy one to venture.”

“Oh my, did he discover his path just like that? That’s just too quick! He really is a strange one.”
