Chapter 244: Stealing The Sage’s Bones, Entering the Core Area, The Infallible Tormented Physique

“Hand over the Sage’s bones!”

“*sshole! How dare you snatch it right before our noses.”

Dozens of cultivators armed with weapons rushed to attack Chu Kuangren.

However, Chu Kuangren merely stood where he was.

The Descendant Self Sword on his waist trembled slightly before an incomparably razor-sharp surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme that was imbued with his spiritual power erupted and transformed into sword qi.

Streaks of sword qi swept outward like a violent wind. Before the cultivators who had rushed forward could get within three feet of Chu Kuangren, the sword qi had torn them all apart.

The rest of the cultivators gasped at that sight.

“What terrifying strength!”

“Who is this? What kind of person is he?”

“Wait a minute, with that gorgeous ancient sword on his waist and his otherworldly aura, can that person be… Chu Kuangren!”

At the mention of Chu Kuangren’s name, everyone present suddenly dared not act rashly anymore. Instead, they all stepped aside.

Meanwhile, the Yin and Yang ring’s previous owner — that young cultivator whose arm was cut off during the fierce battle earlier approached Chu Kuangren. “Brother Chu, I will definitely pay you a visit to deliver my utmost thanks for helping me out.”

He then stretched out his hand.

Chu Kuangren frowned. “What are you trying to do?”

“Um, Brother Chu, aren’t you going to return my Yin and Yang ring?” that young man said in disbelief.

“This Yin and Yang ring is my prize from this battle, why should I return it to you?”

If Chu Kuangren had not obtained that Yin and Yang ring earlier, that young man would undoubtedly be dead by now, yet the same young man still intended to take his Yin and Yang ring back from Chu Kuangren who was quite amused at this.

The Sage’s bones should remain in the hands of those who were strong enough.

If that young man was strong enough, then it should not be a problem for him to take it. However, he only had ambition but lacked said strength.

“You…”

The young man’s expression shifted as he retorted angrily, “Does the dignified Black Heaven Sect Leader intend to lower himself down to those thieves?”

“What a load of nonsense.”

Chu Kuangren shook his head and casually let out a palm attack.

A violent surge of Daoist Rhyme formed into an Ancient Godly Mountain, and with a thud, it blasted the young man into a mist of blood.

Everyone shuddered as they did not expect Chu Kuangren to be that decisive.

“Is anyone else interested in the Sage’s bones?”

Chu Kuangren’s calm gaze swept across the crowd.

The most powerful of these cultivators were merely Honorables who were like puny ants before the Sage-killing Chu Kuangren. Who among them would dare go against him?

“Since the Sage’s bones have found their way into Brother Chu’s possession, we won’t dare to snatch it away from you. We shall take our leave now.”

“Haha, I’m quite fortunate to have witnessed Brother Chu’s might today. At least my trip here is worthwhile.”

“As rumored, Sect Leader Chu does indeed possess a heavenly poise. I’m convinced that the Sage’s bones should belong to you.”

“I suddenly remembered that there’s something I need to sort out back home. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Wait, what? Are you going to give birth, dear? Alright, I’ll come back as soon as possible.”

While some of them complimented Chu Kuangren, some also took out their communication compass and pretended to be talking to someone else. Eventually, they all left the scene.

They would never dare to steal from Chu Kuangren even if they were given the heart of ten lions.

Chu Kuangren then used his spiritual thoughts to scan the whole palace. Once he learned that there was nothing valuable left, he left the ancient city and headed towards the Ancient Battlefield’s Core Area.

…

Ancient Battlefield, Core Area.

That was an area where even a Sage would be extremely fearful to be in.

The concentration of ferocious qi here was ten times denser than the Ancient Battlefield’s Inner Zone, and high-level tormented souls were everywhere.

Even Chu Kuangren felt slightly uncomfortable stepping foot into that area. Only when he channeled some spiritual energy did he manage to alleviate that feeling.

He activated his Treasure Locating Skill.

With that, Chu Kuangren began to search for some nearby treasures.

“Three hundred miles ahead lies a Sage Weapon.”

His eyes lit up as his figure turned into a stream of light. Soon, he arrived at the sand dune where the Sage Weapon was buried.

Chu Kuangren lifted his arm and unleashed a surge of spiritual qi.

The sand dune was instantly blown open!

From the explosion emerged a scarlet longsword.

Although the sacred sword looked rusty, it was still laced with a faint streak of sharp sword qi, which was quite daunting to look at.

Chu Kuangren held that sacred sword and channeled his spiritual energy into it.

Suddenly, the rust fell off the surface of the sacred sword, revealing the sword’s shiny red body and two small words that were engraved on its blade.

“Bloody Bead!”

“The Blood Bead Sacred Sword!”

With a satisfied smile, Chu Kuangren kept the sacred sword into his Sacred Emerald Sword Case to nurture it before he continued to explore the Core Area.

This area was truly more dangerous than the Inner Zone and the Outer Zone, but there were many Opportunities of Fortune too. Within half a day, Chu Kuangren had obtained two Sage Weapons and around seven or eight supreme weapons.

“This Ancient Battlefield is a natural treasury!”

Chu Kuangren praised.

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation came from within his Yin and Yang ring.

He took out a wooden box hesitantly and opened it to see the source of ferocious qi, which was similar to a cloud of black qi, tumbling about actively.

“What’s going on?” Just when Chu Kuangren started to be perplexed, he suddenly felt an extremely violent killing intent behind him

With a slight change of his expression, his sword unsheathed at his waist.

He unleashed a sword ray behind him.

The moment the sword ray collided with ferocious-qi-formed saber light, they both exploded in the void and sent horrifying shockwaves everywhere.

Even Chu Kuangren could not help but fall back dozens of feet.

“This surge of energy… It’s a Sage!”

He could sense a Sage Daoist Rhyme within the surge of ferocious qi.

Not far away, a tormented soul, who had an unrecognizable face and whole body shrouded in black ferocious qi, was holding a black long saber as it stared at Chu Kuangren.

“Kill, kill, give me the innate ferocious qi…”

As that tormented soul murmured, the ferocious qi on his body became increasingly intense. Then, it dashed towards Chu Kuangren.

With a swing of its long saber, it unleashed a pitch-black saber light which almost covered all the light in the world, and a domineering Daoist Rhyme locked on to Chu Kuangren.

Against a tormented soul that had the combat strength of a Sage, Chu Kuangren did not dare let his guard down. Hence, he struck out his Descendant Self Sword and released a majestic purple sword ray.

The collision of those two forces rumbled the void once again.

“Four Seasons Sword Formation!”

Chu Kuangren retrieved his Sacred Emerald Sword Case. One by one, numerous longswords flew out of the sword case and rapidly formed into the mysterious Four Seasons Sword Formation.

Within the sword formation, the four seasons alternated while the power of every natural phenomenon erupted.

Compared to the previous year, Chu Kuangren’s current cultivation base was at the Late-Stage Honorable Realm, which meant that he was just a small step away from being an Honorable.

The sword formation he was using at that moment was so powerful that it killed this Sage-level tormented soul within a short moment.

Along with a sharp howl, the Sage-level tormented soul turned into a light smoke and dissipated. All it left behind was a small cloud of black mist.

“Another source of ferocious qi.”

Chu Kuangren frowned as he grabbed the source of ferocious qi in his hands.

This source of ferocious qi was much smaller than the source of ferocious qi that he had obtained from killing the million-unit Tormented Army.

Grateful for being lucky, he then kept this source of ferocious qi into the wooden box, allowing it to merge with the other bundle of ferocious qi.

In an instant and with a whoosh, the source of ferocious qi suddenly flew into Chu Kuangren’s body, and a message erupted within his mind.

“Infallible Tormented Physique!”

“It’s the Infallible Tormented Physique which is ranked top ten among the three thousand physiques that exist!”

A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Kuangren’s face.

‘So there’s another name for this source of ferocious qi.’

‘It’s called the innate ferocious qi!’

This innate ferocious qi possessed various kinds of mysterious uses. However, its biggest use was to grant someone the Infallible Tormented Physique!

Moreover, it was the kind of Infallible Tormented Physique that would immediately be fully realized, and once that physique has been fully mastered, even a Sage could be easily killed!
