Chapter 610: Chief Sovereign, Another One Arrives, Eight Celestial Demonic Chords Plays Again

The Holy Light Chief Sovereign was the strongest Sovereign in the Holy Ancestral Land.

Back in his era, the Holy Light Chief Sovereign was an outlawed sky-pride himself as well. Among his peers, almost nobody could match his prowess.

It was a shame that it was not the Era of Great Dharma Emergence, and the Emperor’s Throne did not appear.

Hence, the Holy Light Chief Sovereign was not fated to have a shot at Emperorhood.

In order to preserve his strength and prolong his life, he had been hibernating in the ancestral land for thousands of years now.

There was usually no commotion here, so he would not have shown himself. Yet today, Chu Kuangren had wreaked havoc at the ancestral land, and it finally woke him up from his deep slumber.

The Holy Light Chief Sovereign walked across the sky in steady steps and came face to face with Chu Kuangren. His eyes carried a hint of admiration. “Who would’ve known that there would be an outlier like you in this Era of Great Battles. This is quite surprising.”

Immediately after that, however, a cold expression glazed over his eyes. “But it’s a pity that you have the guts to stir up trouble in the ancestral land. Such an act is suicidal. I feel sorry that you have to waste your talent away with daredevil acts like that.”

Chu Kuangren merely laughed in response. His Eye of Revelation activated, and all information regarding this Holy Light Chief Sovereign had already surfaced in front of his eyes.

“Extremity Dao, seven strands of Emperor qi, Ninth-level Holy Divine Fire Art, three self-created Emperor Techniques… Woah. Such a level of combat strength has got to be at the pinnacle of all beings on Emperor Road.”

Holy Light Chief Sovereign’s combat strength was indeed astounding. Even with Chu Kuangren’s current form and power, the former would still be a great challenge to deal with.

He was not afraid of the challenge because if he were to give his all in battle, he was confident that he could end his opponent right there and then!

However, he had Lan Yu at his side. If he were to give sole focus on the battle and disregard everything else, he could not guarantee her safety.

Besides, there were other Sovereigns surrounding both of them as well. If these people were to join in the battle and go up against him, it would be troublesome.

Boom!

Just as the parties were staring down at each other, the enchanted boundary of the Holy Ancestral Land suddenly produced a violent quake.

That invisible enchanted boundary in the sky started to show some cracks.

Massive amounts of dark energy seeped through from the outside world.

Seeing that, Chu Kuangren’s lips raised into a grin. “They’re here.”

The rest of the Sovereigns’ faces turned dreadful upon seeing that.

“This is dark energy! It’s the people from the Dark Shadow Religion!”

“D*mn it. From where did they muster the courage to come and wreak havoc at our Holy Light Religion territory? Of all days, they had to pick now.”

“This energy, could it be…”

The Holy Light Chief Sovereign’s expression changed as he stared at the enchanted boundary atop the sky with fear.

As large amounts of dark energy surged in, the Holy Ancestral Land’s sky turned pitch dark, as if the day was altered to night.

Among the boundless darkness, a figure stepped into the ancestral land.

“It really is you, Darkness Shadow Chief Sovereign!”

The Holy Light Chief Sovereign’s expression became extremely glum.

These two Chief Sovereigns hailed from the same era. Back in their era, they were the only matches to their respective counterpart’s power.

That was the time when the light and the dark fought against each other, and all other sky-prides would shudder when facing the two.

“I can’t believe it. You’ve managed to refine the Divine Pardon Order!”

Holy Light Chief Sovereign remarked indifferently.

The fact that his rival was able to walk out of his own ancestral land and step foot into here meant that he had already refined the Divine Pardon Order. Thus, he was not subjected to the restrictions of the Emperor Road Laws.

“Hah. I’ve promised someone to come here and deal with a group of people for him. I didn’t expect to see you out of your slumber too.”

The Dark Shadow Chief Sovereign laughed out loud.

He was here because of Chu Kuangren.

When Chu Kuangren first arrived at the Holy Light Religion, he had already predicted that a conflict would break out between him and their side. As such, he had cut a deal with the Dark Shadow Religion earlier and made them promise to come to his aid.

Although Chu Kuangren had killed the Dark Bachelor Sage and created bad blood with the Dark Shadow Religion, they would never let go of this opportunity to defeat the Holy Light Religion.

Still, Chu Kuangren was rather surprised.

The person who turned up was actually the Dark Shadow Chief Sovereign.

After some thought, he realized that it made perfect sense too. Since the number of Divine Pardon Orders was scarce, they would definitely give it to their strongest Sovereign so that they could get the maximal value.

“Today, no matter you or this young man right here, I shall make sure that you’ll die here!” The Holy Light Chief Sovereign declared ominously.

Then, he raised his arm and struck out a fist attack at Dark Shadow Chief Sovereign.

“Come at me!”

Dark Shadow Chief Sovereign was no weaker as well.

With a bang, the two of them clashed with their respective dark and light energies. The sheer enormity of the clash felt like the big bang at the very beginning of time, causing the entire Holy Ancestral Land to quake violently.

At the void, darkness and light interweaved. Each clash they made would create a crack in the sky. It was an incredibly terrifying phenomenon.

Fortunately, the Holy Ancestral Land was not just any secret realm, so it had a very sturdy enchanted boundary. Otherwise, this secret realm would surely shatter, and space would definitely collapse. Not many people on the land would have survived that.

“I’ve told you. I’m going to drench the Holy Ancestral Land with blood today. Let’s begin with you!” Chu Kuangren locked eyes with Whitelock Holy Sovereign.

He lifted an arm, and his Invincible Technique’s Daoist Rhyme emanated to form countless interweaving Dao patterns. When a punch landed, the fabrics of space around him tore apart frenziedly!

Two colors of black and white intertwined, projecting the apocalyptic image of the sun and the moon eclipsing, with countless meteors raining down upon the realm.

Invincible Technique, Inverted Universe!!

This move’s power was almost as strong as two Chief Sovereigns. Although Whitelock Holy Sovereign had cultivated his Emperor qi, his power was just no match to Chu Kuangren’s.

Even by giving his all, he would not be able to defend himself against this Invincible Might.

An explosion erupted, which blew up Whitelock Holy Sovereign’s body into a mist of blood, and he instantly perished on the spot!

“What!”

“This cultivation technique is too scary. Don’t even think of going head-to-head with him.”

The remaining Sovereigns were incredibly startled.

They immediately retreated, attempting to open up a distance between them and the formidable Chu Kuangren.

“Heh, don’t even try. None of you will be alive by the end of today.”

Chu Kuangren scorned coldly. With a flip of his sleeve, a lightning ray bolted out from his sleeve. Within it contained an Emperor qi that unleashed an incredibly appalling Emperor’s Aura onto one of the Sovereigns.

That Sovereign was lambasted so brutally that his bones and blood were instantaneously crushed. He spat out blood as he was blasted off his feet.

The lightning ray pranced around in the sky before eventually landing before Chu Kuangren. Once the lightning ray dissipated, a gorgeous azure guqin emerged in front of everyone.

It was the Emperor Weapon, Springtime Lightning!

“Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Boundless Overworld!”

Chu Kuangren plucked on the guqin strings, and the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords echoed in the realm once again.

This time, the eight chords were infused with Emperor qi and the power of an Emperor Weapon. Its sheer power was beyond that of any other occasion it was played.

The group of Sovereigns felt like they were pulled into an ethereal realm of mountains and rivers, with Guqin Daoist Rhymes playing incessantly all around them.

“Profound Carillon Resonance!”

A horrifying guqin music wave was generated.

In an instant, a Sovereign was pulverized by the guqin power!

The people shuddered in fear as they listened to the almighty guqin music.

“You monster, die!”

A Sovereign growled furiously, blasting a divine illumination formed from Holy Divine Fire at Chu Kuangren.

He had already perfected his Dao and had even cultivated two strands of Emperor qi, which made him one of the stronger ones among the group of Sovereigns.

The power from this divine illumination could almost rip through the fabrics of space.

Nonetheless, in the face of Chu Kuangren, it was nothing.

Chu Kuangren’s fingers plucked on the guqin strings. “Devastating Cyclone Barrage!”

Guqin music hit everyone like a cascading torrent, endless yet ferocious.

The first wave of guqin music smashed the divine illumination to smithereens before the subsequent few guqin music waves directly landed onto that Sovereign’s body.

A series of crunches were heard.

This Sovereign’s body kept breaking apart, and his blood jetted out like a geyser.

In just a matter of seconds, he was killed by the guqin music!

Chu Kuangren stood arrogantly in the air with a beautiful lady beside him.

One man, one guqin, and the exquisite Eight Celestial Demonic Chords that echoed in the entire Holy Ancestral Land. This scene had cold shivers trickling down each of the Sovereign’s spines.
