Chapter 534: Murong Xuan’s Opportunity Of Fortune, Murong Xuan Battles Xiao Jingchen

Dark Aether Prefecture, the place where the Enchanted Forest Realm was situated.

Based on the intel provided by Swordsman Mei, Chu Kuangren, Shang Qingxue, and Murong Xuan came to the mountain range where the Enchanted Forest Realm was located.

Although the Enchanted Forest Realm had not appeared yet, there were already a lot of people here waiting. The whole mountain range had numerous sky-prides parading it.

Among these sky-prides, the weaker ones were at least a Supreme Honorable or even Sage. Some of these top-notch sky-prides were so strong that they could give the older generation elites a run for their money.

As for those outlawed sky-prides who were the pinnacle class of sky-prides, Chu Kuangren had yet to see any of them.

“Wow, there are so many people here. I don’t think any one of their strengths should be underestimated.”

Murong Xuan said solemnly while looking at the sky-prides around him.

In the outside world, Murong Xuan was considered one of the most top-notch sky-prides. Even those empyrean walkers in the past were not his match at all. However, in Emperor Road, where there were endless sky-prides, he might still be categorized as outstanding, but he was definitely not within the top-notch category.

“Only by cultivating the Sky Blazing Divine Seal to the highest level can I compete with those most top-notch outlawed sky-prides!”

Murong Xuan muttered under his breath.

Chu Kuangren, who was beside him, seemed to have overheard his words as he let out a slight smile but opted not to ask him more about it.

He knew that Murong Xuan had his own Opportunity of Fortune.

“Sect Leader, when is this Enchanted Forest Realm going to open?” Shang Qingxue asked curiously.

“In two more days, I think. When the Enchanted Forest Realm opens, the concordant transformations will appear.”

Chu Kuangren explained. He was, in fact, not in a rush after all.

After that, he initiated his Treasure Locating Skill.

Images of all sorts of treasures within several kilometers radius instantly projected into his mind.

“There really are quite a lot of decent treasures on this mountain range that’ll be helpful for the two of you.”

Chu Kuangren took out a jade scroll and jotted down the info about the treasures on it. He then handed it over to his two disciples. “Here. You can try looking for these treasures.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue had known since long ago that Chu Kuangren possessed some sort of treasure-detecting method. Hence, they were not too surprised by his action.

Before the Enchanted Forest Realm was opened, the two were already one step ahead of everyone else as they began collecting treasures.

With Chu Kuangren’s Treasure Locating Skill, they managed to loot quite a number of good stuff in just two days.

On this day, Murong Xuan found a Supreme Elixir.

That Supreme Elixir grew in a volcanic crater and emanated with incredibly strong Fire-based Daoist Rhyme energy waves. This Supreme Elixir was at least an Emperor-grade.

“With this Supreme Elixir, my Sky Blazing Divine Seal should be able to advance to the fifth stage. I’m one step closer to the seventh stage now.”

Murong Xuan’s eyes lit up, and he quickly made his way to the volcanic crater.

The voracious volcanic energy, to him, was only like warm air. It did not have any effect on him.

However, just when he was about to harvest that Supreme Elixir, a pike strength that was infused with ruthless energy surged toward him.

At that, Murong Xuan immediately activated his Crimson Sun Daoist Physique and drew a crimson longsword in his hand!

It was a weapon that he had obtained after entering Emperor Road, named the Blazing Sun!

As soon as Blazing Sun clashed violently with that pike strength, terrifying power promptly exploded. To Murong Xuan’s surprise, he was blasted back several dozen meters.

He looked into the distance to see a young man in a golden robe standing in the air. He was holding a pike on one hand, with formidable energy flowing through his body.

“That Supreme Elixir belongs to me. You, scramble!”

The young man jeered at Murong Xuan.

“Ah, and I was thinking who it was. Turns out it’s you, Xiao Jingchen,” Murong Xuan responded, a defiant look on his face.

Xiao Jingchen was a third-ranked Soaring Dragon Leaderboard sky-pride.

He was also the host of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique.

This physique was extremely powerful. Of the Three-Thousand Daoist Physiques, it even ranked above the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart.

Nonetheless, Murong Xuan did not seem to show any signs of fear before Xiao Jingchen.

“Oh, you know about the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard. You must be from the Firmament Star, then. With such strength, I wonder which sky-pride you are on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard?”

Xiao Jingchen looked at Murong Xuan in astonishment.

“Murong Xuan, from the Black Heaven Sect!”

When the three words Black Heaven Sect were said, a fear seeped through Xiao Jingchen’s eyes. It was as if he recalled something bad, and he hurriedly glanced at his surroundings.

“Black Heaven Sect… Is Chu Kuangren here too?”

“It doesn’t matter whether or not Sect Leader is here. If you want this Supreme Elixir, you must first get through me.”

A battle intent flashed in Murong Xuan’s eyes as he tightened his grip on the Blazing Sun.

He wanted to find out how big of a gap there was between himself and a top-notch sky-pride like Xiao Jingchen.

He wondered if there was a chance that he might emerge victoriously!

“Hmph, so it’s just you?”

After scanning his surroundings and not seeing Chu Kuangren anywhere, Xiao Jingchen relaxed.

Of the entire Firmament Star, aside from Chu Kuangren, he did not fear anyone else!

“It’s just me!!”

Murong Xuan stepped forward. An incredibly searing heat wave erupted from his body, almost as if he was about to incinerate this whole place into ashes.

“Hmph. I guess I’ll let you have a taste of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique’s power!!”

Xiao Jingchen scoffed, and with a lift of his arm, he threw out a punch. The magnificent spiritual power formed a giant golden fist sign.

The fist sign lashed out, threatening to rip the sky open and tear the ground apart.

Seeing that, Murong Xuan drew out the Blazing Sun in retaliation. A surge of crimson sword qi, which contained a tremendous fire wave, surged out at his opponent.

These two forces clashed and exploded with a bang

As a result of the explosion, massive amounts of dust swirled skyward from all over the volcano.

This commotion had drawn quite a number of people’s attention.

“What a powerful energy wave. Who’s battling whom?”

“With such energy, I reckon it has to be top-notch Sage Rulers, who are close to the Boundary Emperor Realm.”

“Let’s go up there and have a look. If they are sky-prides, we have to take note of such top-notch sky-prides.”

The people made a beeline toward that volcanic crater.

Meanwhile, a far distance away, Chu Kuangren, who was having a shut-eye abruptly opened his eyes. “Oh? Murong Xuan has engaged in a battle. This energy… It’s him, alright.”

Back at the volcanic crater.

Murong Xuan and Xiao Jingchen’s battle had already reached its climax.

Both of them were the most top-notch sky-prides, so their combat strengths were exceptional. This was especially true for Xiao Jingchen. His Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique was ranked second among the Three-Thousand Daoist Physiques, and there were only a few physiques in current times that could match its sheer power. Adding that to his Sage Ruler cultivation level, the combat strength that he could unleash was almost near a Boundary Emperor’s level.

Despite that, Xiao Jingchen was shocked that he could not defeat Murong Xuan in one go.

He knew that his opponent only had the Crimson Sun Daoist Physique, which may be a top-notch Daoist Physique, but it was only ranked at the lowest class. There was no way it could compete with his Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique. Yet, the combat strength that Murong Xuan was able to unleash was not far off from his.

This finding took him by surprise.

“What’s up with this guy? How does he have such amazing power?”

“Hold up. It’s not the Daoist Physique… but the technique!”

“This person’s techniques are amazing. Moreover, these techniques are all compatible with his Daoist Physique. That’s why he can produce such impressive combat strength.”

Xiao Jingchen had good insight, and very soon, he figured out the key behind his opponent’s prowess.

Nevertheless, it shocked him to the core. His own cultivation techniques were extremely superb as it was from an Emperor Scripture. Yet, although Murong Xuan’s Daoist Physique was much inferior to his, the former was still able to hold his own in this battle. This proved that the techniques that his opponent cultivates are more superior to his!

He deduced that his opponent must have cultivated an Emperor Scripture too, and it should be one of the most top-class Emperor Scriptures.

As the audience grew in number, Xiao Jingchen began to feel a little uneasy about not being able to take down his opponent even after such a long time.

The fact that a great Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique host like him had let a far weaker Crimson Sun Daoist Physique bring the fight to him like this… Would that not mean that he was a weakling?!

“It seems that you’ve left me with no choice!”
