Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws Chapter 56 Having Sky-prides As Food, A Sage Is Not Easily Killed

Chapter 56: Having Sky-prides As Food, A Sage Is Not Easily Killed
“Don’t you worry, I’m not lying.” Upon seeing Chu Kuangren staring at her coldly, Princess Linglong could not help but feel a sudden beat in her heart.
She was one of the best women in the world and also a Princess of the Royal Azure Dynasty at that, so why did she have to always forcibly yield when it came to Chu Kuangren?
Princess Linglong was very puzzled.
She then continued, “This gray fog here is special, it was made from condensing the Qi of Death. Taking into account the barriers all around its edge, I have read about this Qi of Death in the scripts that recorded situations like these. I’m afraid that this is a type of… Domain!”
“Domain? Carry on.”
“According to ancient records, this kind of gray fog appeared around ten thousand years ago. At that time, it enveloped a whole city. When people went to investigate right after, only a few survivors were found remaining in that city, while the rest were all broken down and decomposed by the corrosion.”
Princess Linglong stopped talking after that.
Chu Kuangren frowned and asked, “That’s all?”
“The records only kept note of this much.”
“Domains… Battle Monarch cultivators can create their own domains. Besides that, some cultivators specialized in the practice of domain creation. As their cultivation level increases, the domains they create will also experience some change as well. Could it be that this domain is made by someone?”
Chu Kuangren kept thinking and tried to piece together the pieces of information gained by his Eye of Revelation. His gaze gradually became very grim.
“The Black Light Sage!”
“The Black Death Beasts were fed and developed by the Black Light Sage. Besides that, this domain has the possibility of being a man-made one. Hence, it has to be him that’s pulling the strings behind the scenes.
“However, that person is a Sage. If he can even kill us with a single finger if he really wants to, why go through all this trouble? This domain, the Black Death Beasts, and even this Secret Realm could all possibly be his doing.
“This may mean that he probably is under… Some sort of restriction.”
Countless thoughts were thrown around within Chu Kuangren’s mind as they emerged.
No matter what, the Black Light Sage could be the source of all their problems. If they wanted to get rid of this gray mist, then they would have to find him first.
“While searching for Lan Yu, we can also search for that person’s whereabouts. If this domain really is his dirty work, then he must certainly be inside it as well!”
Chu Kuangren decided on a plan and left the place.
Princess Linglong followed him. She could not deny that in times like that, following Chu Kuangren would make her feel the most secure.
Along the way, the two of them encountered another Sky-pride.
It was Huayun of the Serene Wisdom Sect.
However, he had already suffered major injuries at that point. His spiritual power was fading and he had no strength to muster up any protection with it. Without the protection of his spiritual power, his body started to break down and decompose instantly. Upon seeing Chu Kuangren and the princess, he immediately pleaded with them for help.
“Please brother Chu, your highness, please save me.”
Princess Linglong took a look at Chu Kuangren.
It was clear that every move she made now was based on Chu Kuangren’s decision.
Chu Kuangren turned a deaf ear beside him, watching Huayun who was being corroded and decomposed non-stop. A sudden thought popped into his mind.
‘The gray fog constantly decomposes and breaks down human flesh.
‘Then what will happen next once it completely breaks down everything?’
The Black Light Sage went to great lengths to drag them into this domain field. Could it really be that he just simply wanted to kill them?
When he thought of that, Chu Kuangren observed Huayun with a chilling gaze, having no intention of lending a helping hand at all.
Huayun shuddered and continued pleading. “Brother Chu, I apologize for what I said during the banquet. I beg you, please save me.”
However, Chu Kuangren did not bother answering him.
“My dear Princess Linglong, please, save me please.” Seeing that Chu Kuangren did not care, Huayun shifted his gaze onto Princess Linglong.
Princess Linglong was a bit hesitant. “Chu Kuangren, having another person with us meant another portion of strength, how about we…”
“Shut it.” Chu Kuangren glared at Princess Linglong with a cold gaze.
That reply was like a choke on Princess Linglong’s neck. She instantly stopped speaking.
“Another portion of strength for another person added? What a joke, can a person like him even be considered strong? He’ll only be a burden to us.”
Chu Kuangren said with an indifferent tone.
“Chu Kuangren! How can you be so cruel!”
Huayun knowing that there was no hope of getting help started to show resentment and anger in his eyes.
“Just because I insulted you a bit during the banquet, you now decide not to save me even when I’m dying in need of help. Shame on you for being a Sky-pride, shame on you for being a human being!
“I curse you to end up in a similar fate, to die slowly in suffering worse than me now!”
Huayun continued to hiss and cursed.
However, Chu Kuangren’s gaze was unmoving and he kept on observing him.
Huayun’s cursing did not affect him in the slightest. Chu Kuangren just watched silently as his opponent was broken down gradually into nothingness.
Princess Linglong, who stood beside him could not help but feel fearful.
At that instant when Huayun was completely broken down and decomposed, a blood-colored light appeared and flew towards a certain direction.
“Something is going on after all.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up and went to follow that blood-colored light.
Princess Linglong tagged along with him closely as well.
She had only realized at that point why Chu Kuangren coldly watched Huayun get broken down alive and could not help but lament his courage and cautiousness.
However, he was willing to watch a person die in front of him to confirm his suspicions.
This man was cold-hearted.
Chu Kuangren followed the blood-colored light and reached the depths of the gray mist.
From afar they saw an altar with an elderly man on top of it. He was bound by chains and sealing tags with runes written all over them.
The blood-colored light came to the altar and entered the old man’s mouth.
“Delicious… So this is the taste of a Sky-pride.”
The old man let out a delighted look on his face.
When Princess Linglong arrived soon after, her pupils shrank when she saw what had happened. “This elderly man is consuming Sky-prides as his nourishment!”
Chu Kuangren took out the Descendant Self sword and slowly walked towards the old man. At the same time, countless strings of runes swirled within his eyes, analyzing the old man’s information.
“Black Light Sage, one of the guardians of the Sacred Palace of Death, cultivation level – Great Sage peak, in a crippled state, under the suppression of a seal, cultivated Sage Techniques…”
Because his opponent was a Sage, Chu Kuangren’s Eye of Revelation could only reveal a limited amount of information from him at his current cultivation level. He could not completely see-through his opponent like could with the others in the past.
Despite that, he still gained a lot of useful information.
For example, the Sacred Palace of Death.
That was an unknown force to him. Chu Kuangren secretly noted it down.
Bang, bang…
At that point, a few chains and sealing tags on top of the altar were broken off.
“Absorbing the flesh and blood essence of numerous Sky-prides and using it to break through the seals. This Gluttonous Devouring Sage technique of yours is truly extraordinary.”
Chu Kuangren calmly said.
On the altar, the Black Light Sage squinted and asked. “Who are you, little guy? I can’t believe you know about my cultivation techniques and practices.”
By the time he started speaking, Chu Kuangren dashed towards him and made a move.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword Wielding Technique was immediately deployed!
That domineering purple sword beam headed towards the Black Light Sage’s head. However, his gaze became stern and let out a loud roar. Terrifying surges of Death Qi then oozed out from his mouth, brutally blocking the attack of the purple sword beam.
“Haha, what a decisive Sky-pride!
“First you speak of the school of cultivation that I am under and take the opportunity when I am distracted to send out an attack. If only you are a bit stronger or that I’m a bit weaker, then perhaps this method could have worked. What a shame, what a shame.”
The Black Light Sage grinned and had a look of admiration in his eyes.
Chu Kuangren was silent and immediately deployed all three transformations of his Daoist Physique, and once again let out another attack with his Heaven-Slaying Sword Wielding Technique, intent on killing the Black Light Sage in one single move.
However, a terrifying Sage Daoist Rhymes could be seen coming out and surrounding the Black Light Sage which formed into a veil of Qi. It blocked all of the incoming attacks!
“This Sage truly is a Sage indeed. No matter if he’s in a weakened state or sealed, he really is tough to kill.” Chu Kuangren murmured.
Although Princess Linglong, who stood aside him, did not fully understand the situation, she still sensed the terror of the old man on top of the altar. Her heart was overcome with fear and shock, as she did not expect that a Sage was sealed within the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon!
