Inside the Heavenly Golden Palace.
After Xiao Jingchen became a Sage, the entire Heavenly Golden Palace was in an uproar. Many people looked at Xiao Jingchen with admiration.
Some of the ladies even had stars in their eyes.
"Young Master, congratulations on becoming a Sage!"
Sage Ruler Changqin brought a group of Sages to Xiao Jingchen.
In terms of seniority, Xiao Jingchen was tens of thousands of years old, so it was not unusual for him to address him as Young Master.
"Yes."
Xiao Jingchen smiled and nodded. He was very happy that he had become a Sage through the Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation.
He was one step closer to becoming an Emperor.
"By the way, where's Xiao Lintian?" Xiao Jingchen suddenly asked.
Xiao Jingchen still cared a lot about Xiao Lintian, a sky-pride who also had the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique.
He had even planned to train Xiao Lintian to be his right-hand man.
The faces of Sacred Ruler Changqin and the others darkened upon hearing his words.
"What happened?" Xiao Jingchen asked with a frown.
"Young Master, Xiao Lintian … is dead."
Sage Ruler Changqin took a deep breath and said.
A cold murderous intent shot out from Xiao Jingchen's eyes. He had just become a Sage, so he could not fully control his own aura. His Sage Aura swept out, pressuring everyone at the scene.
Even Sage Ruler Changqin could not help but feel his scalp tingle.
'So powerful! '
'Is this the power of a Sage with the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique?! '
"Tell me, what happened?!" Xiao Jingchen slowly retracted his aura and asked.
Sage Ruler Changqin breathed a sigh of relief and told him everything about Xiao Lintian's challenge to Chu Kuangren.
At the same time, he also told them about Chu Kuangren's information.
"Oh, Chu Kuangren? You mean the person who dragged hundreds of thousands of people with him during the Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation three years ago?"
Xiao Jingchen's eyes were filled with surprise.
When he first heard about Chu Kuangren, he was also shocked. He did not expect such a person to exist in the Firmament Star.
However, when he heard that Chu Kuangren had been struck by the Heavenly Punishment Seal, he did not care anymore. After all, Chu Kuangren was just a mortal.
Yet now, Chu Kuangren had reappeared.
"A special rune technique?"
"Hmph, now I'm a little interested in meeting this Chu Kuangren. However, I've only just ascended to a Sage, so I'll need to spend a few days to stabilize myself. By then, I'll show him who's truly the best in this world!"
Xiao Jingchen waved his sleeve and said coldly.
On the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he was ranked third.
Before Chu Kuangren's appearance, the first place had always been empty. Now that Chu Kuangren had snatched the first place away from him as soon as he appeared, he was extremely displeased. He secretly made up his mind to snatch the first place back.
…
In a desert.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu walked against the sandstorm.
"Mister, that aura just now was very strong. Was that a genius from the Nine Heavens?" Lan Yu asked curiously.
"Yes, it should be. He came from the direction of the Heavenly Golden Palace, so he must be the Nine Heavens sky-pride, Xiao Jingchen, who was ranked third on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard and is currently ranked second." Chu Kuangren nodded slightly. He was not too concerned about it.
The two of them walked in the desert for two days straight.
Along the way, they saw many strange desert wonders.
Then, they came to a place that was filled with intense ferocious qi. This place was one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas of Firmament Star, the Ancient Battlefield.
"I wonder how the White-Robed General is doing."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He was going to Acheron Manor to settle the score, but when he passed by the Ancient Battlefield, he decided to visit the White-Robed General on a whim.
After all, the White-Robed General had promised to help him collect innate ferocious qi to forge a perfect Supreme Infallible Tormented Physique.
Now that a few years had passed, Chu Kuangren wondered how the White-Robed General was doing and if it was enough to upgrade his Infallible Tormented Physique to its complete form.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu arrived at the Ancient Battlefield's Core Area.
He took out the jade pendant that he used to contact the White-Robed General.
However, after half an hour, he still did not see the White-Robed General.
He continued to wait.
After a day and a night, there was still no news.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren realized that something was wrong.
"Did something happen?" Chu Kuangren frowned as he released his spiritual thoughts to search for the Ancient Battlefield's Core Area.
The desolate and barren scene appeared in his mind …
Chu Kuangren searched carefully.
However, he still could not find the White-Robed General.
Was he not at the Ancient Battlefield?
That was not right.
The tormented souls that were born in the Ancient Battlefield were closely connected to this place, so it was impossible for them to leave. Not even a Sage Ruler could do so.
The White-Robed General had also said that he could not leave this place.
Could he be … dead?!
That would explain why he could not find the White-Robed General. However, who could kill the White-Robed General, one of the Ancient Battlefield's Three Kings?
Chu Kuangren did not make any immediate deductions and continued to search.
Soon, he found something.
There was a palace in the Ancient Battlefield, and it was filled with a huge amount of ferocious qi that was so dense that it was almost solid.
This ferocious qi was preventing Chu Kuangren's spiritual thoughts from probing inside.
"Oh, is the White-Robed General here?"
Chu Kuangren murmured.
"Let's go in and take a look."
There had to be an explanation for this. The White-Robed General was collecting the Innate Ferocious Qi for him, and his descendant, Shang Qingxue, was also a disciple who had gone through thick and thin with the Xuan Tian Sect.
Chu Kuangren brought Lan Yu and stepped into the Ancient Battlefield's Core Area.
A dense and familiar ferocious qi surged towards them.
Lan Yu activated her Light-based Daoist Rhyme to defend against it.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren's invisible mind power had formed an invisible barrier that isolated the ferocious qi.
They were not tormented souls, so the ferocious qi was like a poisonous gas to them. Inhaling too much of it would be harmful.
Both of them walked towards the palace in the Ancient Battlefield's Core Area.
With their strength, the tormented souls that they encountered along the way were easily dealt with. They even collected a few surges of innate ferocious qi.
"A living person!"
"Another living person has appeared in the Ancient Battlefield?!"
Both of them encountered another tormented soul.
This tormented soul's cultivation level was obviously not low, and it had gained sentience because of the innate ferocious qi.
When it saw Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu, it could not help but be surprised.
Chu Kuangren was quite concerned about what it said. "Again?"
Could there be other living people in the Ancient Battlefield's Core Area besides him and Lan Yu?
"Who is this living person you're talking about?" Chu Kuangren asked.
"Hmph, you have no right to ask for that person's name. Go to hell." That tormented soul did not say another word and immediately attacked.
He threw out a punch that was filled with ferocious qi.
"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself."
Chu Kuangren raised his arm and unleashed a runic sword. The sword qi immediately pierced through the ferocious qi and pierced through the tormented soul.
With a loud explosion, the tormented soul was instantly destroyed.
Chu Kuangren raised his arm and grabbed a surge of innate ferocious qi with his mind power. He then threw it into his Yin and Yang Ring.
"Let's continue."
A few hours later, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu arrived at the palace.
Inside the palace, a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe who was surrounded by black ferocious qi abruptly opened his eyes.
"The aura of a living person doesn't belong to Master Daoist Sha. There's also a disgusting Light aura as well. Who could it be?!"
