Chapter 368: Empyrean Walkers Showed Up In Succession, Who Else But Me

“Burning books and hiding emperors…” Chu Kuangren mumbled that again. There was a look of mockery on his face too. “Unknown lands? I think they might as well change their name to the shameless lands.”

An Emperor was the pinnacle of cultivation. The birth of each Emperor was accompanied by endless glory. It would only be fair to pass down the Emperors’ achievements from generation to generation so that these Emperors could be looked up on and show the younger generations the way of cultivation.

Yet, for some rumor and their own selfish desires, these unknown lands kept the Emperors’ glories and achievements from the world, and as a result, it made the modern cultivators lose their way. They knew they had to cultivate to become an Emperor, but they did not know what for.

these unknown lands had done such despicable acts based on a rumor of which its authenticity could not be verified. They had sealed off the Emperors’ glories and achievements from the world, making modern cultivators lose their sense of direction. They knew they could become an Emperor, but they did know what for.

Nobody had been able to break free of the saying that no one could succeed in becoming an Emperor at the Era of Dhamma’s End.

The unknown lands’ act of burning books and hiding emperors had created a birdcage that imprisoned the modern cultivators. They knew nothing of the Emperor’s past glories, what those Emperors were capable of, or how they could become an Emperor themselves…

“Shameless lands?”

“Haha, that’s quite a good name.”

Divine Predictor was stunned when he heard the name but after a moment, he burst out in laughter. He glanced at Chu Kuangren with a weird look in his eyes, “Even in this Era of Great Battles, becoming an Emperor remains an incredibly difficult feat. But with the Emperors’ inheritances in their hands, the unknown lands should be the first to produce a newer generation of Emperors.”

“Nonetheless, Junior Chu, I think you’re an exception. I wish to see you hit these shameless unknown lands in their faces one day to let them know that despite their book-burning and emperor-hiding antics, someone else could still break free of the birdcage and become an Emperor in his own right!”

As the best Divine Predictor in this generation, he had long since calculated the odds in this Era of Great Battles. The fate of becoming an Emperor was originally in the hands of the unknown lands, but now, an unexpected anomaly had appeared.

Things were developing in the direction that he had not expected.

This made Divine Predictor feel extremely intrigued. Either way, he was never fond of those despicable unknown lands, hence he was quite happy that the situation had gone this way.

“With me, Chu Kuangren in this world, who else dares to become an Emperor?!”

Chu Kuangren laughed out loud before his figure turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the distance. He was headed to the Empyrean Peak.

…

Black Warrior Domain, Empyrean Peak.

Ever since Ling Xiao, Cloud Nine’s empyrean walker had set up an arena here, this place had become a gathering point for all elites.

Countless sky-prides made their way here from all places.

This place had even garnered the attention of the Sages.

The Empyrean Peak was now buzzing with people.

Standing at the very peak was a man.

This man had shoulder-length raven hair, a sturdy posture, and a long black pike in his hand that seemed like it was one with him. The energy that was flowing around this person’s body was so sharp that it felt as if he could break through the edges of the sky!

This man was the empyrean walker who had set up this very arena, the empyrean walker from Cloud Nine of the unknown lands… Ling Xiao!

Ling Xiao was his name, the sky-piercing pike was his game, and his poise was transcendent like he was walking on the clouds!

“That guy is that so-called Ling Xiao. He truly is extraordinary. I heard that he has descended into the realm for three months now, but sky-prides whom he had defeated have hit double figures. His combat strength is even more terrifying than the usual Sages.”

“Are empyrean walkers really so insane?”

“I have no idea how those unknown lands trained these people. I cannot believe it.”

“All this while, we thought the sage orthodoxies were the most powerful forces. Who knew that this world still had so many so-called unknown lands.”

Numerous people were gathered around Empyrean Peak, discussing as they stared at Ling Xiao, who was standing at the peak.

Just then, a green sword ray shot down from the cloud of seas. When it landed in front of Ling Xiao, it turned into a green-robed young man who was surrounded by fine streaks of sword qi.

This man looked Ling Xiao right in the eyes and said, “So you’re the one who set up this arena here, the one who sent an open challenge to all empyrean walkers in the world?!”

“That’s right. It’s me.”

Ling Xiao grinned at the sight of the green-robed man in front of him and said, “With this sword qi, you must be Black Moon Tower’s empyrean walker, Li Fuping if I’m not mistaken. I wonder if I’m correct?”

“Not bad.”

Li Fuping said calmly, admitting that the other person got it right.

With a clang, the longsword at his waist unsheathed. A streak of sword qi whizzed past Ling Xiao as he said, “Then, let us battle.”

“Hang on there. It’s not fun enough if it’s just you and me.”

Ling Xiao smiled and said.

As soon as he said that, a feminine laugh was heard from the distant sky and a lady dressed in red landed from above. Her gorgeous looks caught the eyes of many male cultivators at the scene.

“It’s her. Feng Yaorao.”

“She’s the empyrean walker of Thousand Flower Valley. She has come too.”

“Not just Feng Yaorao.”

After Feng Yaorao showed herself, a starlight shot across the sky before a sword ray shot down and turned into a black-robed teen.

His sword qi was extremely mystical and it was not weaker than Li Fuping’s.

The ground started to shake.

A brawny man walked up the Empyrean Peak in big strides. Every step he took sent the ground shaking, and his aura was imposing.

“Oh, Big Dipper Palace’s Ye Xin, and Immovable Sect’s Guo San.”

Ling Xiao muttered out their names one after another.

Another figure then flashed across the sky and landed. This person had a fiery hot, ruthless battle intent in his eyes as he stared at Ling Xiao.

“Zhan Long of the Battle Cloud Realm. It’s been a while.”

Ling Xiao said nonchalantly.

Having four empyrean walkers show up in succession sent the crowd into a loud cheer. They were so excited that they began to engage in heated discussions of their own.

“Six. Now there are six empyrean walkers here. If a battle was to start, I don’t know how intense it may be.”

“By my observation, this empyrean walker at least has the combat strength of a Sage. He’s super scary.”

“Who else? Is anyone else coming?!”

Most empyrean walkers were not Sages, but they had the combat strength that was comparable to Sages. Coupled with them making the recent headlines, they were the hottest topic amongst the Firmament Star.

This made the sight in front of them the most powerful event in the world.

Buzz!

Ripples appeared in the void.

A white-robed teen walked out from thin air. This teen’s presence felt as towering as the clouds and as unfathomable as the ethereal, which made him somewhat elusive.

“Oh, here comes another strong contender.”

Ling Xiao glanced at his adversary. “May I know your name?”

“Ethereal Rapture, Xue Zheng.”

The white-robed teen, Xue Zheng, smiled and said.

“Oh, it’s an empyrean walker from the Ethereal Rapture.”

Ling Xiao nodded at him.

At this moment, a vast golden light suddenly appeared from the edge of the faraway sky, and within the golden light was a flying horse carriage. Wherever it passed by, a gold-brick-like road would form. It looked extremely magnificent.

“A road with gold bricks. This must be someone from the Golden Family Sect.”

Ling Xiao said as he looked at that carriage.

“I am the empyrean walker from the Golden Family Sect, Jin Bujue!”

A deep voice rang out from inside the horse carriage. A man donning a long robe that was made out of gold silk walked out with a golden belt around his waist, a gold crown atop his head, a gold ring on his finger, and a golden longsword strapped to his waist.

Everything was so golden and glittery that the people found him rather blinding.

“A battle between empyrean walkers. How can I miss this?”

A grey-robed teen, whose body emanated a strange wilting scent, suddenly walked over. Wherever he stepped, the plants wilted and died.

Watching him, the crowd frowned as they instinctively felt repulsed.

“Where is this empyrean walker from?”

“Pfft, with this energy, I’m sure this is a guy from the Sacred Palace of Death.”

Empyrean walkers from all over the world had shown up in succession.

Each one of them had their own unique prowess.

The people who surrounded the place felt incredibly excited for what was to come.

“Haha, I think that’s about enough people now. Let us begin the battle and see who’s the best sky-pride in the world!”

Ling Xiao laughed aloud. With his hands on his long black pike, he looked extremely lofty and daring!

Just as he said that.

“Best in this world? Who else could that be but me?!”

An indifferent voice rang out from the clouds.

Following that, a loud rumble resounded as if something was about to come crashing down from above!

A gorgeous ancient sword swooped down from the sky and thrust itself nonchalantly in the very middle of the crowd. Then, a surge of tremendous sword qi swept out from the body of the sword, sending the empyrean walkers flying for a hundred meters out!

A white-robed figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the crowd.

At this moment, everybody was stunned.

“He’s here. He’s here. Chu Kuangren is here!!”
