Chapter 340: The Portal To The Bottomless Chasm, The Scaled Tribe’s Fourth Ruling King Bei Mingxiu

Even asking them for ten times more would not be enough.

Not even a hundred times more would suffice.

Chu Kuangren wanted them to pay back a thousand times!!

‘For every one of my people you killed, I’ll kill a thousand of yours back!’

Chu Kuangren’s tone made the Scaled Tribe Sages who were present at the scene shiver with fear, and the Daoist Rhyme that flowed on their bodies turned incredibly violent. Every one of them stared at the madman in front of them as though they were desperate to cut him into a million pieces.

“A thousand lives for one! What a comment, Chu Kuangren. With us here, you won’t touch even one of them!” one of the Sages replied furiously. Then, he threw out a slam that loomed over Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren plucked on the guqin string and unleashed a piece of terrifying guqin music.

The guqin music and palm qi inadvertently collided, causing a shockwave so huge they were both pushed back.

The rest of the Scaled Tribe Sages had started to join in the attack as well.

There were seven Scaled Tribe Sages in total.

Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation and scanned each one of them. He found that amongst them were two Fifth-Step Sages and three Seventh-Step Sages, whereas the remaining two were already at the level of Great Sages.

Those two Great Sages were Bei Mingfang and that sword-wielding middle-aged Scaled Tribe member who was called Bei Minghuan.

These two people posed the most threat to Chu Kuangren.

He was especially wary of that guy, Bei Minghuan. His cultivation base had already reached the level of a Third-Step Great Sage, which was even higher than the First City’s First Prefect.

“If it were the old me, facing this mix of opponents would undoubtedly be an uphill battle, but too bad, I’m way ahead of that old me.”

Chu Kuangren thought to himself.

Ever since he had advanced to the Honorable Supreme Realm, beating a Great Sage was no longer difficult for him. Even the combined forces of these seven people would not pose too much of a problem to him.

After an intense battle, Chu Kuangren was still unscathed. In fact, one of those seven Sages had been struck down by Chu Kuangren.

“D*mn it, he has used the Nine Deaths Blazing Sword Art for so long, how is it that he hasn’t experienced any side effects yet?” The Scaled King watched Chu Kuangren battle the seven Scaled Tribe Sages from afar. He could not help but express his admiration and shock. Never had he imagined that his adversary would hone such a powerful combat strength, even in the deep sea.

“No way. Even the combined forces of the Sages could not harm this Chu Kuangren. It seems that I have no choice but to pull out that item now.”

The Scaled King thought to himself. His figure then turned into a flash as he vanished from his spot and darted towards a deeper part of the palace.

In the deep ocean, Chu Kuangren was battling against the remaining six sages. All kinds of Daoist Rhyme interweaved and collided, which lit the space up.

Boom…

Chu Kuangren was blasted off his feet by Bei Minghuan. However, he briefly adjusted his stance before he pointed his finger at one of the Sages beside him.

“Heart Piercing Finger!”

It was Chu Kuangren’s first time using this Emperor Technique. Since this Sage in front of him was given no time to react at all, the next thing he felt was a shudder in his Daoist core and a brief moment of unconsciousness. Then, a colossal spiritual power and Daoist Rhyme formed into a black finger and smashed at the very heart of his chest with brute force.

Not even a Sage’s body could endure such a horrifying amount of power. With a loud bang, his chest instantly collapsed inward, and the bones in his whole body shattered!

A Sage was annihilated so gruesomely!

“What! What kind of technique is this?!”

“I can feel the Emperor’s Aura. This is an Emperor Technique too!”

“A cloning Emperor Technique, swordsmanship Emperor Technique, guqin Emperor Technique… And on top of that finger strike of his, he has already cast a good whole four Emperor Techniques. How does he have so many Emperor Techniques? Where the hell did he come from?!”

The group of Sages was flabbergasted.

In this Era of Dharma’s End, Emperor Techniques were incredibly rare finds!

Even those with rich resources like the Scaled Tribe had a mere tattered, incomplete Emperor Scripture. However, Chu Kuangren was sitting on several Emperor Techniques!

How many Opportunities of Fortune did he have, or how lucky was he?!

The Scaled Tribe Sages felt incredibly shocked.

“He had used so many Emperor Techniques consecutively. I cannot imagine just how much spiritual power he had sapped himself of. I don’t think he’d be able to hold on any longer.”

Bei Mingfang said.

At that, Chu Kuangren chuckled and said, “If the Sages of the Four Domains were here, they’d never have made that kind of remark.”

“What do you mean, exactly?”

“What I mean is that you Scaled Tribe people are really idiots. Before you face off against your enemy, don’t you do any sort of surveillance or gather some intel?”

Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

Immediately after that, he lifted an arm and an incredibly appalling suction force erupted from the center of his palm. The dead bodies around him then turned into countless blood and flesh essences, which all frenziedly surged into him.

Chu Kuangren’s spiritual power which was originally half-exhausted was now rapidly recovering. That energy of his which the Sages had meticulously worn down was also escalating back to its original level.

“Absorbing flesh and blood essences to convert them into spiritual power? D*mn it, what kind of freaky technique is this?! Besides Emperor Techniques, I can’t believe he owns such a wicked and odd technique as well. Quick, stop him before it’s too late!” Bei Mingfang’s expression turned grim.

The rest of the Sages hurriedly intervened.

The few of them circulated their Daoist Rhyme and attacked it in Chu Kuangren’s direction.

Just then, white lotuses started to hover around Chu Kuangren. When the Sages’ barrage of attacks landed on the lotuses’ surfaces, an explosion erupted.

The white lotuses disintegrated, one after another!

Nevertheless, those lotuses had also bought Chu Kuangren some valuable time. When the Sages’ attacks were about to reach him, he had already recovered a good half of his spiritual power. So, he immediately played his guqin and a surge of indescribable guqin Daoist Rhyme unleashed instantaneously.

“The final movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Grand Melodic Void!”

Silent guqin music erupted along with its Daoist Rhyme. Chu Kuangren had once killed off a Great Sage with this one move alone, but now, he was at the Honorable Supreme Realm and had the enhancement of the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art.

Hence the sheer power of this one song was beyond anyone’s imagination!

The dreadful guqin music shattered the attack from the group of Sages. The guqin music sent out a shocking power and immediately affected a few of the Sages, sending them flying out of the scene. Apart from the two Great Sages, Bei Minghuan and Bei Mingfang, the rest of the Sages were instantly killed!!

A piece of guqin music had killed four Sages in one go and heavily wounded the two Great Sages!

Bei Minghuan and Bei Mingfang were petrified in the face of such terrifying power. They fixed their eyes at Chu Kuangren, their faces filled with consternation.

“How can his combat strength be so outrageous?!”

“This is a carnage of the Scaled Tribe!”

Just when Chu Kuangren was about to finish off the two Great Sages, a prismatic blue light suddenly towered off from deep within the palace!

The light flowed and formed a giant door in the middle of the ocean!

A spatial force was suddenly unleashed.

“What’s going on?”

Chu Kuangren was slightly taken aback.

“This is… the portal to the Bottomless Chasm!”

“It’s the King. He’s seeking help from the Bottomless Chasm.”

Bei Mingfang and Bei Minghuan were visibly delighted when they saw this door.

Deep within the palace, the Scaled King looked at this giant door that had formed in space excitedly. “Is this the legendary portal to the Bottomless Chasm? The final resting place for all past Scaled Kings; a portal that can lead to that divine Oceanic Heaven!!”

The Bottomless Chasm was the ancient heaven of the oceans that was passed down from generation to generation in Scaled Tribe people as lore. Legend had it that once a previous Scaled King became a Sage, they would head to this place and become a member of heaven. It was one of the unknown lands of Firmament Star.

Each passing Scaled King would be handed this sacred relic, an item which could open the portal to the Bottomless Chasm and a last resort that would enable them to seek salvation from the Bottomless Chasm!

It was this sacred relic that the Scaled King had used to open up the portal to the Bottomless Chasm.

Buzz, buzz…

Just then, the portal to the Bottomless Chasm let out a deep hum in the ocean.

The two sides of the door swung open on both sides.

A middle-aged, stalwart man who had golden scales and held a golden trident walked out from it. In an instant, horrifying energy swept across and shrouded the entire place.

“It’s the Scaled Tribe’s fourth ruling King, Bei Mingxiu!”

The Scaled King squealed in joy at the sight of this person.
