Chapter 343: A Depiction Of The Scaled Emperor, Fusing Three Weapons To Form An Emperor Weapon

The appearance of the Headless Lady had caused all lives within a radius of ten thousand kilometers to perish. As the corpses floated to the surface, it created a rather gruesome image to witness.

Meanwhile, the Headless Lady scouted around the palace, seemingly to search for her head. When she eventually failed to find it, she stomped her feet in anger and the force brought the entire palace to ruins.

Then, she arrived at the door to the Bottomless Chasm and stopped for a moment. Could it be that her head was in there?!

With one foot forward, she stepped into the portal to the Bottomless Chasm.

Once the Headless Lady entered, the portal sealed shut. At this point, the Bottomless Chasm was still unaware of the incoming danger!

Once the Headless Lady left, the enormous spherical space soon vanished. With a boom, the seawater began to displace its space, which formed a large whirlpool, before the ocean finally resumed its former calmness.

A figure suddenly appeared before the ruins of the underwater palace. It was none other than Chu Kuangren.

As he watched the piles of dried corpses that were once the Scaled Tribe members, he could feel his hair tingling. “Luckily I managed to run fast enough.”

Needless to say, the Headless Lady was drawn to this place by Chu Kuangren.

Back when he was coming to the Scaled Tribe’s territory, Chu Kuangren had temporarily lifted the seal on the Headless Lady’s head for a short while to attract the Headless Lady’s attention.

It was simply because Headless Lady was the perfect weapon to obliterate the Scaled Tribe. After all, they were the ruler of the underwater world and had an extraordinary history, so there was no harm for Chu Kuangren to rely on some reinforcements.

Of course, he was putting himself at risk too.

Nobody could predict just how soon the Headless Lady would arrive. Furthermore, could his Immortal Body withstand the Headless Lady’s attack?

These were still questions that Chu Kuangren could not answer.

Nonetheless, luck was on Chu Kuangren’s side this time. The Headless Lady appeared right before Chu Kuangren was about to be imprisoned forever.

He had also escaped swiftly enough to avoid the Headless Lady’s attention, and in the end, she even entered the Bottomless Chasm.

“Looks like fortune always favors the handsome men.”

Chu Kuangren smirked.

Chu Kuangren then mourned for those in the Bottomless Chasm for a moment. It may be an unknown land, but it would most likely fail in surviving the mighty Headless Lady.

Chu Kuangren began to swim around the Scaled Tribe’s palace ruins. Being the central territory of the Scaled Tribe, there must be many precious items and treasures to discover. With his Treasure Locating Skill, Chu Kuangren did indeed find many valuable items.

Never mind the usual soulstones and spiritual marrows, Chu Kuangren had even found himself many mysterious underwater treasures that would fetch a high price in the Four Domains. After all, these treasures were rare and there were not plenty of underwater treasures there.

However, these were ubiquitous in the underwater palace.

“And I’ve got this halberd!”

Chu Kuangren picked up the Golden Halberd that Bei Mingxiu had dropped amongst the debris. Similar to the Heaven Halberd and Sea King’s Halberd, the Golden Halberd was also a Boundary Emperor Weapon that was interrelated with the aforementioned weapons.

“There must be some form of recordings about these Boundary Emperor Weapons in the palace. I must search for it,” Chu Kuangren murmured to himself.

After searching for a while, Chu Kuangren finally found a stele that contained much information about the Scaled Tribe’s history.

The stele depicted the Scaled Tribe’s hitherto development, including descriptions of the clan’s Sages and the multiple generations of Scaled Kings.

What amazed Chu Kuangren the most was…

That there was once an Emperor in the Scaled Tribe!

Strictly speaking, the Scaled Tribe ought to be considered an emperor orthodoxy!

However, the Emperor did not rule for long, and with time, the knowledge and skill sets of the Emperor had also perished. What remained now was an incomplete form of his techniques.

Hence, the Scaled Tribe’s ability was nowhere near that of an emperor orthodoxy, which was almost impossible to find anywhere in the Firmament Star and the unknown lands.

It was said that a new Emperor had not appeared for the last hundred and fifty thousand years. Even if there was an emperor orthodoxy, they would surely lose their Emperor-level’s knowledge to the passage of time by now.

Chu Kuangren continued to read the Scaled Tribe’s history.

He soon found a piece of record that was related to the three Boundary Weapons.

According to the record, not only did the Great Scaled Emperor leave behind an Emperor Scripture, but he had also left behind an Emperor Weapon that was called the Sea Deity Halberd!

However, the halberd was severely damaged in a great war and no one aside from the Emperor could refine such a weapon. So, the only resort the clan had left was to extract the power of the halberd.

The Sea Deity Halberd was split into three.

They were the Heaven Halberd, the Sea King’s Halberd, and the Golden Halberd!

The Sea King’s Halberd was wielded by the Young Master of the Scaled Tribe, the Golden Halberd by the Scaled King, and the Heaven Halberd by the strongest general in the Scaled Tribe!

Unfortunately, the general who wielded the Heaven Halberd had perished on a battlefield many thousands of years ago. The Heaven Halberd was then lost to the outside world, never to be found again by the Scaled Tribe members.

Chu Kuangren found these findings interesting. “In that case, the Heaven Halberd must’ve been found by the Lou Kingdom’s ruler before he sealed all the Tormented Souls within its enchanted boundary.”

“The seal then lasted for several millenniums. No wonder the Scaled Tribe could never find it. It’s rare enough for them to step onto land, what more to find the Heaven Halberd within the Ancient Battleground of Lou Kingdom.”

Chu Kuangren watched as the Golden Halberd in his hands emitted a radiant light.

If he could fuse the three halberds, it would become a legendary Emperor Weapon!

Sure, Chu Kuangren already had the Sacred Emerald Sword Case, but that was a supplementary Emperor Weapon. The Sea Deity Halberd would be his first offensive Emperor Weapon!

If Chu Kuangren could wield such a weapon, his combat ability would surely increase multifold. By then, killing Great Sages like Bei Mingxiu would be a walk in the park!

At that thought, Chu Kuangren could not wait to try fusing them.

He searched through the palace for a while more before returning to land.

Meanwhile, on land, words of Chu Kuangren battling the Scaled Tribe had already spread, so many paid close attention to any strange occurrence that may occur in the sea.

Indeed, the sea was not calm at all after Chu Kuangren entered. Giant waves and ripples formed on the surface, and there was an incessant surge of terrifying energy coming from the ocean as well.

Such disturbance in energy frightened many Sages.

In fact, they could even feel an Emperor Aura towards the end!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Did the Scaled Tribe have an Emperor on their side?

It was not too long before the Emperor Aura disappeared and the sea calmed down. However, it was followed by the appearance of countless dried corpses that floated to the surface and filled thousands of kilometers across the sea.

As the pungent blood of the corpses stank the air, the sea immediately became an embodiment of a living hell.

The Sages were utterly shocked.

They did not dare imagine what Chu Kuangren had done under the sea to have resulted in such a massive body count.

“Such a merciless massacre. How brutal.”

“Where’s Chu Kuangren? Is he still alive?”

“Oh dear, easily billions of people have lost their lives. Is Chu Kuangren that bloodthirsty?!”

“Scary. Too scary.”

“If Chu Kuangren somehow managed to survive today, let’s not mess around with him anymore. His lunatic behaviors would only spell trouble for all of us!”

The Sages were frightened by what they thought was Chu Kuangren’s action.

Although the life of a commoner was typically insignificant to a Sage, the loss of billions of life was still unprecedented!

After waiting for a long while, Chu Kuangren had yet to appear.

Just when the Sages sighed a breath of relief, thinking Chu Kuangren had perished in battle…

A figure broke the surface of the water and emerged above the sea.
