Black Heaven Dao State, where the Thousand Strange Grotto was located.
According to the information provided by the Mystic Sword Guards, Chu Kuangren, Shang Qingxue, and Murong Xuan had arrived at the mountain range where the Thousand Strange Grotto was located.
Although the Thousand Strange Grotto had yet to fully reveal itself to the world, many people had already arrived. Countless sky-prides were wandering around the entire mountain range.
Even the weakest of these sky-prides were comparable to Honorable Supremes or even Sages. Some of the top sky-prides were even on par with the older generation.
As for the Forbidden sky-prides, Chu Kuangren had yet to see any of them.
"There are so many of them, and none of them are to be underestimated."
Murong Xuan looked at the surrounding sky-prides and said solemnly.
In the outside world, Murong Xuan was one of the top sky-prides. Even the empyrean walkers of the past were no match for him. However, on the Emperor's Road, where sky-prides were everywhere, he was not considered one of the best despite being outstanding.
"Only by mastering the Incinerating Divine Art to the highest level can I fight against the top Forbidden sky-prides!"
Murong Xuan murmured.
Beside him, Chu Kuangren seemed to have heard his words. He smiled and did not ask any questions.
He knew that Murong Xuan had his own Opportunity of Fortune.
"Sect Leader, when will the Thousand Strange Grotto open?" Shang Qingxue asked curiously.
"It should be another two days. When the Thousand Strange Grotto opens, there will be a phenomenon."
Chu Kuangren said. He was not in a hurry.
Then, he activated his Treasure Locating Skill.
The fluctuations of various treasures within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius were clearly reflected in his mind.
"There are some decent treasures in this mountain range that will be helpful to both of you."
Chu Kuangren took out a jade scroll and recorded the information of some treasures into it before handing it to the two. "Here, you guys can go look for them."
"Alright."
Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue already knew that Chu Kuangren had some kind of technique that allowed him to sense treasures, so they were not surprised.
Before the Thousand Strange Grotto opened, the two of them were one step ahead of the others in searching for treasures.
With Chu Kuangren's Treasure Locating Skill, the two of them managed to find many treasures in two days.
On this day, Murong Xuan found a Supreme Herb.
The Supreme Herb was growing at the mouth of a volcano and was emanating an incredibly strong Fire-based Daoist Rhyme.
"With this herb, my Divine Art of Burning Heaven can almost step into the fifth level. I'm one step closer to the seventh level."
Murong Xuan's eyes lit up as he quickly approached the crater of the volcano.
As for the intense volcanic aura, it was like a burst of warm air that had no effect on him.
However, just as he was about to pluck the herb, a spear energy suddenly swept towards him with an overbearing aura.
Upon seeing this, Murong Xuan activated his Crimson Sun Daoist Physique and the crimson longsword in his hand abruptly slashed out!
It was a weapon he had obtained after entering the Emperor's Road. It was called Burning Sun!
The Burning Sun collided with the spear energy with a loud bang. A terrifying force exploded and Murong Xuan was forcefully pushed back several hundred feet.
He looked into the distance and saw a young man in a golden robe standing in the air with a long spear in his hand. He exuded a domineering aura.
"That herb is mine. You, scram!"
The young man said coldly to Murong Xuan.
When Murong Xuan heard this, an arrogant look appeared on his face. "I was wondering who it was. So it's you, Xiao Jingchen."
Xiao Jingchen was originally ranked third on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.
He was also the owner of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique.
It was a very powerful physique. Among the three thousand physiques, it was ranked even higher than the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart.
However, Murong Xuan was not afraid of him at all.
"Oh, you know about the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard? Looks like you're from the Firmament Star. With such strength, which Soaring Dragon Leaderboard sky-pride are you?"
Xiao Jingchen looked at Murong Xuan and said in surprise.
"Murong Xuan from the Black Heaven Sect!"
When he heard the name Black Heaven Sect, Xiao Jingchen seemed to have thought of something. A hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he looked around.
"Is Chu Kuangren from the Black Heaven Sect here too?"
"It doesn't matter if the Sect Leader is here or not. If you want this herb too, you'll have to defeat me first."
Murong Xuan held the Burning Sun in his hand and a hint of battle intent appeared in his eyes.
He wanted to see how big the gap was between him and a top-notch sky-pride like Xiao Jingchen.
Was it possible for him to defeat him?!
"Hmph, with just you?"
Xiao Jingchen looked around and was relieved when he did not see Chu Kuangren.
In the entire Firmament Star, he was not afraid of anyone except Chu Kuangren!
"Me?!"
Murong Xuan took a step forward and a scorching wave of air erupted from his body. It was as if the entire sky was going to be incinerated.
"Hmph, I'll show you the power of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique!"
Xiao Jingchen snorted. He lifted his arm and unleashed a punch. Majestic spiritual power converged to form a giant yellow fist mark.
When the fist mark was unleashed, it was as if the sky was going to collapse.
When Murong Xuan saw that, he swung the Burning Sun Sword in his hand and a crimson red sword qi surged out along with a majestic wave of fire.
When the two energies collided, a deafening explosion erupted.
The entire volcano stirred up a large amount of dust.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"What a powerful energy fluctuation. Who's fighting?"
"This kind of energy, it's at least a top-notch Sage Ruler. It might even be close to a Boundary Emperor."
"Let's go and take a look. If it's a battle of sky-prides, we have to pay attention to such a sky-pride."
Everyone rushed towards the crater of the volcano.
Meanwhile, in the distance. Chu Kuangren, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. "Oh, Murong Xuan is fighting someone. This kind of energy, it's him."
At the crater of the volcano.
The battle between Murong Xuan and Xiao Jingchen had reached its climax.
Both of them were top-notch sky-prides with extraordinary combat strength, especially Xiao Jingchen. The Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique was ranked second among the Three-Thousand Physiques. Its power was so strong that few physiques in the past and present could match it. Coupled with his Sage Ruler cultivation level, the strength that he unleashed was close to a Boundary Emperor.
However, what shocked Xiao Jingchen was that he could not defeat Murong Xuan quickly.
His opponent's physique was only the Crimson Sun Daoist Physique. Although it was a top-notch Daoist Physique, it was ranked at the bottom among the top-notch Daoist Physiques. There was no way it could be compared to his Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique. However, the combat strength that Murong Xuan unleashed was not any weaker than his.
This discovery shocked him greatly.
"What's going on with this guy? Where did he get such terrifying strength from?"
"Wait, it's not a Daoist Physique, it's … a technique!"
"This guy's cultivation technique is too advanced, and it complements his Daoist Physique. That's why he has such combat strength."
Xiao Jingchen had good eyesight, so he soon noticed something fishy.
He was shocked because his own cultivation technique was also extraordinary. It was an Emperor's Scripture. However, Murong Xuan could still fight on par with him even though his Daoist Physique was at a disadvantage. This meant that Murong Xuan's cultivation technique was of a higher grade than his!
Murong Xuan must have cultivated an Emperor's Scripture as well, and it must be a top-notch one even among the Emperor's Scriptures.
As more and more people came to watch the battle, Xiao Jingchen was starting to get anxious because he still could not defeat Murong Xuan.
The Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique was fighting against a Crimson Sun Daoist Physique that was far inferior to him. Was that not implying that he was useless?!
"Looks like this is the only way!"
