One was ranked first in the Hundred Swords Spectrum while the other was ranked second. Both of them were top-notch swordsmen below the Sages.
When the two surges of Sword-based Daoist Rhymes collided, the resulting shockwave sent the surrounding rocks and plants flying like a hurricane.
Murong Feng's expression changed the moment his Sword-based Daoist Rhymes collided with Chu Kuangren. He was horrified.
Chu Kuangren's Daoist Rhymes had completely suppressed him!
"How can his Daoist Rhymes be so strong?!"
Murong Feng could not believe it.
He had forgotten that Chu Kuangren could spar with a Sage. How could an Honorable Realm cultivator compare to his Sword-based Daoist Rhymes?
It was the same even for Honorable Supremes.
"Today is a joyous day for the Black Heaven Sect. I don't want to wield my sword on this day. If you want to challenge me, sure, but pick another day to come again," Chu Kuangren said.
Murong Feng had heard about Chu Kuangren taking over as the Black Heaven Sect Leader, so he knew what he meant by a joyous day.
"I've come from afar just to witness your sword Dao. I won't stop until I've achieved my goal."
"Your Excellency, please enlighten me!"
Murong Feng's eyes lit up. He no longer cared about Chu Kuangren's identity as a junior, and the sword qi within his body erupted!
The sword qi was like a tornado that swept towards Chu Kuangren!
"You're asking for it!" Chu Kuangren raised an eyebrow. He raised his hand and gathered a majestic amount of earth qi. When he unleashed a palm attack, the power of the Godly Mountain erupted!
When the sword qi and earth qi collided, the ground instantly exploded!
As the two different Daoist Rhymes intertwined, Murong Feng's eyes flashed with battle intent as he praised, "What a great palm technique!"
He was indeed worthy of being ranked second in the Hundred Swords Spectrum. Ordinary Honorable Supremes would have been pushed back by Chu Kuangren's palm attack, but he did not move an inch. The longsword in his hand shone with a brilliant sword ray.
It was a sacred sword!
The second in the Hundred Swords Spectrum, second only to Descendant Self's Sun Contending Sword!
"Slash!" Murong Feng leaped into the air and gathered the Sword-based Daoist Rhymes around him.
A gigantic sword shadow appeared out of thin air with a majestic amount of Daoist Rhymes. Like a meteor, it slashed towards Chu Kuangren.
The terrifying sword pressure caused the entire mountain gate of the Black Heaven Sect to tremble. The cultivators who rushed over from all directions were also amazed.
"Good Sword Dao!"
"As expected of the second ranked existence in the Heavenly Sword Spectrum. That sword is something that even an Utmost Exalt would find hard to defend against!"
"No wonder Murong Feng is the number one swordsman in the Murong clan apart from the Sages. Just based on this sword technique alone, he can be called the number one swordsman in the entire Firmament Star apart from the Sages."
Honorable Xuan Qi was among the crowd as well. He looked at the sword that was descending from the sky with a serious look in his eyes.
Even though he had advanced to a Quasi-Sage, he could still feel a tremendous amount of pressure from that sword.
It was not without reason that Murong Feng's ranking on the Hundred Swords Spectrum was higher than his before he underwent his Heavenly Tribulation.
"Kuangren …" The sword qi on Honorable Xuan Qi's body circulated as he stared at the sword, ready to help Chu Kuangren at any time.
However, a terrifying surge of Daoist Rhyme erupted from Chu Kuangren's body, and the Descendant Self Sword at his waist let out a bright sword ray.
With a slash of the sword, an Emperor's Aura appeared!
The Daoist Rhyme contained in Murong Feng's sword was being suppressed! This was … An Emperor Suppressing All Laws!!
"Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!" Chu Kuangren shouted.
The Descendant Self Sword slashed across the sky!
The dazzling purple sword ray almost covered the entire sky, and its majestic Sword-based Daoist Rhyme violently crashed into the void like a tsunami.
Murong Feng's sword attack was shattered on the spot!
The terrifying sword ray landed on his body and sent him flying thousands of meters away before he crashed into a mountain in the distance. He spat out a mouthful of blood before he was buried under countless rocks. There was no movement from him, and no one knew if he was dead or alive.
Everyone quickly released their spiritual thoughts to sense around.
They saw that Murong Feng was buried under a pile of rocks. His chest rose and fell slightly, and his aura was weak. Although he was not dead, he had lost consciousness.
He had been knocked unconscious by a single slash!
Everyone gulped as they felt a little horrified.
Murong Feng was extremely powerful, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the best swordsman below the Sages. Yet, he was knocked unconscious by a single slash from Chu Kuangren?
Chu Kuangren's strength was just too overwhelming!
Even the Honorable Supremes could not help but feel a chill down their spines.
"I can't believe he's already this powerful."
"Tsk, what a monster!"
Chu Kuangren sheathed his Descendant Self Sword and muttered, "I've already told you that I don't want to wield a sword. Why did you have to force me? Look at what happened now. I can't even take a single slash from him. How embarrassing."
His voice was not loud, but everyone at the scene, including those who did not have a high cultivation level, could hear him clearly.
Everyone could not help but sweat.
Not to mention Murong Feng.
There were not many below the Sage level who could withstand this attack.
"Everyone, the Inauguration Ceremony is now over. I've already asked someone to prepare a banquet. Please enjoy yourselves." Honorable Xuan Qi smiled.
When everyone heard that, they no longer cared about Murong Feng.
When they arrived at the palace, the banquet was already prepared.
Everyone exchanged toasts and toasted each other as the host and guests enjoyed themselves.
"Brother Xuan Qi, now that you've let go of the heavy responsibility of being the Sect Leader, your next step is to hide behind the scenes and accumulate your resources to become a Sage."
An Honorable from the Taixu Temple said enviously.
"Haha, I'm indeed going to live in seclusion. However, I still don't know when I'll become a Sage."
Honorable Xuan Qi laughed heartily.
Generally speaking, after becoming a Boundary Sage, as long as one accumulated their resources well, it was almost certain that they would become a Sage in the future.
However, every cultivator had a different understanding of the Dao and different aptitudes, so the time needed to become a Sage was different as well. It could be as short as a hundred years, or as long as a thousand years.
"With Brother Xuan Qi's aptitude, becoming a Sage is only a matter of a hundred years." The Honorable from the Taixu Temple said.
Honorable Xuan Qi was also a peerless genius when he was young. With his aptitude, since he had successfully passed the ascension, it was not impossible for him to become a Sage within a hundred years.
"I hope so."
After the banquet ended, the people from the various orthodoxies gradually left.
However, everyone did not come to the Inauguration Ceremony in vain. To be able to see the true face of the Godly Phoenix was already a blessing of three lifetimes.
The Inauguration Ceremony ended just like that.
…
Inside the Towering Heaven Palace.
Honorable Xuan Qi and the others were gathered together, and in front of them stood a blood-colored Godly Phoenix.
The Godly Phoenix was pecking at its feathers, occasionally raising its head to look at Honorable Xuan Qi and the others before ignoring them.
"Oh, the Godly Phoenix. I can't believe I'm able to meet such a divine beast in my lifetime. I'm so lucky."
"Yeah, it's my first time seeing it too. I wonder what it'll feel like to touch it."
"I heard that Kuangren has even ridden on it before. I wonder what it'll feel like to ride on the Godly Phoenix. I really want to give it a try."
"Don't joke around. This is a divine beast we're talking about. It's extremely noble. Unless it approves of someone, no one else will let it touch it."
Everyone was talking at once as they looked at the Godly Phoenix in awe.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren walked over.
The Godly Phoenix immediately dashed towards him when it saw him. Along the way, it bumped into a few elders, causing them to stumble. However, the elders were not the least bit dissatisfied. Instead, they were all smiles.
"Haha, I was hit by a divine beast."
"So this is how it feels to be hit by a divine beast."
"Brother." The Godly Phoenix intimately rubbed itself against Chu Kuangren's body.
Chu Kuangren stroked her neck and said sternly, "How could you be so reckless? Stop messing around like this from now on."
