The appearance of the Headless Lady had turned the surrounding ocean into a wasteland. Dried corpses floated on the surface of the ocean. It was a horrifying sight.
She wandered around the palace for a while, as if she was still searching for her own head. However, to no avail. She was so angry that she stomped her foot, and the entire palace was instantly torn apart.
Then, she came to the Bottomless Chasm's door and paused for a while. It was as if she was wondering if her head was inside!
She then walked into the Bottomless Chasm's door.
Once the Headless Lady entered, the Bottomless Chasm's door closed completely. At that moment, no one knew what kind of being was waiting for the Bottomless Chasm!
After the Headless Lady left, the huge spherical space that she had created also dissipated. Large amounts of seawater flowed in, forming whirlpools that filled the surroundings. It took a long time for everything to return to normal.
Suddenly, a figure arrived at the palace ruins. It was Chu Kuangren who had returned.
He looked at the dried corpses of the Scaled Tribe members and could not help but feel a lingering fear. "Luckily, I ran fast enough."
Needless to say, the Headless Lady was attracted by Chu Kuangren.
Before he arrived at the Scaled Tribe, he had already removed the talisman on the Headless Lady's head and released the signal that would attract the Headless Lady. He then stuck the talisman back on her head.
The reason he did that was to borrow the Headless Lady's strength to deal with the Scaled Tribe. After all, the Scaled Tribe was the ruler of the ocean, and their resources were extraordinary. It was not wrong for him to have a few more insurance.
In fact, he was taking a gamble by doing that.
Who knew when the Headless Lady would come? Who knew if his Immortal Body could withstand the Headless Lady's attacks?
These were all unknowns.
However, it seemed like everything was going in his favor now. The Headless Lady appeared just as he was about to be sealed, and she helped him break the seal.
Chu Kuangren was fast enough that the Headless Lady could not catch up to him. In the end, she even made it to the Bottomless Chasm.
"As expected, handsome men do not have bad luck."
Chu Kuangren grinned.
Then, he could not help but mourn for the Bottomless Chasm for a few seconds. Even in the unknown lands, facing the Headless Lady was not easy.
He began to wander around the ruins of the Scaled Tribe's palace. After all, as the center of the Scaled Tribe, there must be a lot of good stuff here. Using the Treasure Locating Skill, he managed to scavenge a lot of treasures.
Needless to say, there were Spirit Stones, Spirit Marrow, and many other treasures from the sea. These were very valuable in the four regions. After all, the rarer something was, the greater its value. There were not many treasures from the sea in the four regions.
But in the Deep Sea Palace, there were a lot of them.
"And this trident!"
Chu Kuangren picked up the Golden Trident that Bei Mingxiu had left behind. It was an extraordinary item. Like the Heaven's Halberd and the Sea King's Halberd, it was also a Boundary Emperor Weapon. Moreover, the three of them seemed to have some kind of connection.
"There should be records about these three Boundary Emperor Weapons in this palace. Let's go and take a look," Chu Kuangren muttered.
He searched around the palace and finally found a forest of tombstones that contained countless historical records of the Scaled Tribe.
The Forest of Monuments recorded the history of the Scaled Tribe, including the number of Sages, the number of Scaled Kings, etc.
What concerned Chu Kuangren the most was …
The Scaled Tribe once had an Emperor!
Therefore, strictly speaking, the Scaled Tribe should be considered an Emperor-level orthodoxy!
However, that Emperor did not reign for a long time, and it had been a long time since then. Hence, the heritage that he had left behind was gradually depleted, and even the Emperor's Scripture had become incomplete.
Hence, the Scaled Tribe's strength was much weaker than a true Emperor-level orthodoxy. But then again, the entire Firmament Star, including the unknown lands, might not even have one Emperor-level orthodoxy.
It was no joke that there had not been an Emperor in the last one hundred and fifty thousand years. Even if there was an Emperor-level orthodoxy, the Emperor's heritage would have been depleted after such a long time.
Chu Kuangren continued to read the Scaled Tribe's records.
Soon, he found records related to the three Boundary Emperor Weapons.
According to the records, other than an Emperor's Scripture, the Scaled Emperor had also left behind an Emperor's Weapon called the Sea King's Halberd!!
However, this halberd was damaged in a great battle, and after the Emperor of the Scaled Tribe, no one else could refine this Emperor Weapon. Hence, the Scaled Tribe split the Sea King's Halberd's power.
From then on, the Sea King's Halberd was split into three.
They were the Heaven's Halberd, the Sea King's Halberd, and the Golden Halberd!
Among them, the Sea King's Halberd was wielded by the Scaled Tribe's Young Master, the Golden Halberd by the Scaled King, and the Heaven's Halberd by the Scaled Tribe's strongest General!
However, according to the records, the previous General who wielded the Heaven's Halberd died in battle tens of thousands of years ago. Since then, the Heaven's Halberd had been lost to the outside world, and the Scaled Tribe had spent tens of thousands of years searching for it to no avail.
Chu Kuangren pondered. "The Heaven's Halberd must've been obtained by the Lou Kingdom's Ruler, but the Lou Kingdom's Ruler had sealed himself within the Lou Kingdom's enchanted boundary tens of thousands of years ago to suppress the millions of tormented souls."
"That seal lasted for tens of thousands of years. No wonder the Scaled Tribe couldn't find it. I bet the Scaled Tribe rarely went onto land, so how could they have known that the Heaven's Halberd was hidden within the Ancient Battlefield's Lou Kingdom?"
Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up as he looked at the Golden Halberd in his hand.
When the three halberds merged together, they were the legendary Emperor Weapons!
Although he had the Sacred Emerald Sword Case, it was a support-type Emperor Weapon. On the other hand, the Sea King's Halberd was an offensive Emperor Weapon!
If he could wield the Sea King's Halberd, his combat strength would increase tremendously. By then, killing a Great Sage like Bei Mingxiu would be a piece of cake.
At that thought, Chu Kuangren was eager to try it out.
However, he did not recklessly merge them together. After looting the palace for a while, he turned around and returned to the surface.
Meanwhile, on the surface, the news of Chu Kuangren's battle with the Scaled Tribe had spread far and wide. Many people were paying close attention to what was happening on the surface of the sea.
After Chu Kuangren entered the sea, the entire sea was no longer calm. Waves surged, and terrifying energy waves constantly emanated from the bottom of the sea.
That kind of energy waves made all the Sages shudder.
In the end, there was even an Emperor's Aura!
Everyone was dumbfounded by that.
Did the Scaled Tribe have an Emperor-level trump card?
After a while, the Emperor's Aura disappeared, and the sea gradually returned to its calm state. Then, corpses floated up from the sea. Within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, countless corpses floated on the surface of the sea.
A thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the entire surface of the sea. It was not an exaggeration to call the scene in front of them a living hell.
All the Sages were stunned.
They dared not imagine what Chu Kuangren had done in the deep sea for there to be so many corpses. Even a Sage would be shocked by the sight of it.
"Such monstrous killing intent, it's too terrifying."
"Where's Chu Kuangren? Is he still alive?"
"Oh my god, there are at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of lives here. How could Chu Kuangren do it?!"
"Too scary, too scary."
"If Chu Kuangren doesn't die today, then from now on, we must never provoke this person ever again. This kind of crazy behavior is infuriating!"
The Sages were scared half to death by Chu Kuangren.
Although most of the Saints viewed the common people as ants, it was absolutely unprecedented to kill so many of them at once!
After a long while, Chu Kuangren still did not appear.
Just when everyone thought that he was dead, they heaved a sigh of relief.
A figure broke out of the water.
