Silence lood the deserted streets of the Divine Predictor City.
The heavy snow today had covered the streets in white. The Sages’ corpses on the streets had also been snatched clean. Not even a trace of blood was left behind.
Other than so destroyed buildings, no one would have known from the snow-covered streets that a battle had taken place here yesterday.
At this mont, at the end of the street.
A man and woman were slowly approaching.
The man was wearing a cloak while the woman was sheltering him from the snow with an umbrella. Both of them soon arrived at the Four Seas Tavern’s entrance.
Qian Fugui hurriedly ca and welcod them.
“Welco, brother Chu.”
“Greetings, Mister Qian. The cold weather today is the best ti for a hot pot, don’t you agree? I’ll have a mandarin duck pot please.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Coming right up.”
Qian Fugui replied despite feeling doubtful.
‘Is Brother Chu really feeling cold?’
‘How can you possibly be afraid of a little cold when you can slaughter Sages that easily?’
However, he did not pursue the matter and sent soone to prepare the hot pot.
Chu Kuangren then found a place to sit while Lan Yu put away the umbrella and closed the windows beside them to prevent snow from entering the building.
The other custors did not say anything as well.
All they did was look at Chu Kuangren with the sa doubtful gaze.
‘This guy is strange.’
‘He’s so terrifyingly strong, yet he’s acting like a frail person. Does this guy not have his cultivation base anymore?’
The hot pot was soon served.
Looking at the bubbling hot pot in front of him, Chu Kuangren smiled. “It’s a pleasure to enjoy such great food during weather like this.”
It was true that he did not have his cultivation base anymore, and that he felt the cold as well.
However, he deliberately allowed that to happen since he could use his mind power to repel the cold away. Then again, the hot pot would not taste that delicious if he did so.
Just as Chu Kuangren was enjoying his food, a voice suddenly reverberated through the whole Divine Predictor City.
“Chu Kuangren, are you brave enough to fight ?!”
The chilling yell was followed by a horrifying eruption of aura, causing the surrounding winds and snow to grew more intense. The howling wind blew open the windows, and snow poured into the building. The tavern was instantly colder.
There was now a layer of snow on Chu Kuangren’s hot pot.
“This is annoying.”
He sighed frustratingly.
Lan Yu stood up, closed the windows, and said, “Master, please continue with your al. I will go outside and see what’s going on.”
“Well, alright.” Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.
Lan Yu walked out of the tavern.
The gaze of the surrounding diners lit up as they all started to whisper and gossip.
“I definitely heard correctly. That’s Xiao Lintian of the Heavenly Golden Palace. He really has co to challenge Chu Kuangren.”
“Xiao Lintian has improved quite a lot over the past few years. He only passed the ascension trial last year, but his combat strength is now greater than most Great Sages. ”
“I wonder what’ll happen if both of them fought.”
“Can Lan Yu handle soone like him?”
Chu Kuangren paid no attention to what the people around him were saying.
Instead, his eyes were on the boiling broth before him…
Divine Predictor City, at the top of a tall building.
Xiao Lintian was standing proudly as a domineering aura emanated from his body and Daoist Rhys surrounded him. It was as if he had beco the center of the world.
Within the shadows, nurous spiritual thoughts were observing him.
“The Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique is indeed quite extraordinary. With such a montum, even a Third-Step or Fourth-Step Great Sage is not his match.”
“I suppose only a Seventh-Step Great Sage and above can suppress him. Besides, he still isn’t even a Sage yet. When he does, he’ll definitely be even more terrifying.”
“That’s right. He’s too powerful.”
The Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique was ranked second-best among the Three-Thousand Physiques known in the world.
Countless people throughout the ages had dread of possessing such a physique. Every person who possessed a physique like this would have an eighty percent chance of becoming an Emperor in the future. That was if they did not die along the way.
Xiao Lintian’s Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique did have so defects as it was artificially made. However, he was undoubtedly one of the strongest people among the Firmant Star’s younger generation aside from Chu Kuangren and the Nine Heavens’ sky-prides.
“Chu Kuangren, today shall be the day I fulfill my biggest wish for the past three years. I will defeat you with my own hands!!” Xiao Lintian announced.
He was extrely excited at the thought of his dream coming true.
At this mont, he heard a series of light footsteps.
Xiao Lintian looked in the direction of the sound only to see a silver-haired woman in gorgeous silver armor walking through the snow with a chilling expression.
The sight of her surprised everyone.
Everyone was no stranger to Lan Yu as she had long been a Young Emperor, and they were used to seeing her by Chu Kuangren’s side. Hence, everyone knew that she was a top-notched sky-pride.
However, her combat strength was unknown since she rarely fought.
Especially in the face of a Boundary Sage sky-pride like Xiao Lintian, whom most Great Sages could not even defeat, would she really be alright?
“You? Lan Yu, where’s Chu Kuangren?”
Xiao Lintian asked with a frown.
Lan Yu’s expression was indifferent as she replied, “My Master is too busy to bother with soone like you. I alone am enough to deal with you.”
Then, the Scepter of Light appeared in her grasps.
An incomparably dense surge of Light-based Daoist Rhy surged out like a crashing tide. Her cultivation level was at a Boundary Sage’s level as well.
The montum of the two sky-prides who possessed Supre Daoist Physiques collided with each other. The impact shattered the surrounding wind and snow and caused the whole street to tremble.
“Are you even worthy of being my opponent?”
Xiao Lintian uttered coldly with disdain in his eyes.
Although the Holy Radiant Physique was a Supre Daoist Physique, it was still weaker than the ranked-second Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique.
“Are you even worthy of being my Master’s opponent?”
Lan Yu sneered.
“Hmph, whatever. I shall take you down. After that, I’ll personally get Chu Kuangren out myself!” Xiao Lintian snorted coldly.
“Three years ago, your existence was no different to a mongrel before the likes of my Master. Now that three years have passed, you wouldn’t even have the balls to challenge my Master if he did not have the Heavenly Punishnt Seal on him. At the end of the day, you’re just a lowly coward.”
Lan Yu’s words cut into Xiao Lintian’s heart like a razor-sharp knife, and his expression turned glum.
He had to admit that whatever Lan Yu said was true.
If Chu Kuangren did not have the Heavenly Punishnt Seal on him, Xiao Lintian would not dare to challenge him even if he was paid to do so. The reason why he was so bold now was that Chu Kuangren’s power would definitely be inferior to him with that seal’s existence.
However, it was one thing to know about it and another to say it out loud.
Xiao Lintian exploded with rage. “Go and die!”
He instantly unleashed a fist attack, and its domineering aura locked onto Lan Yu. His first move was an incredibly powerful Boundary Emperor Technique!
To show that she was not any weaker, Lan Yu waved her Scepter of Light, and a burst of Light-based Daoist Rhy erupted. Her first move was a Boundary Emperor Technique too.
Moreover, since her light-based Boundary Emperor Technique resonated with her Holy Radiant Physique, it led to an even greater eruption of strength.
It was a Boundary Emperor Technique that she had created herself!
With the help of various other resources and a lot of Dao Enlightening Tea over the past three years, she has entered the Enlightennt Stage many tis.
She created the Boundary Emperor Technique while in the Enlightennt Stage.
Boom!
As soon as the two surges of energy collided, Lan Yu was pushed back dozens of ters. However, the glowing Light-based Daoist Rhy on her silver armor and nurous mysterious runes on her easily repelled the impact from the attack.
“The strengthening by Master’s runes is remarkable.”
Lan Yu felt the power contained in her armor and let out a slight grin.
This armor was originally a top-notch Honorable Weapon. However, after Chu Kuangren had strengthened it with runes so ti ago, it was no weaker than a Sage Ruler weapon.
“Again!”
Lan Yu let out a cold roar and made another attack.
The surrounding snow and winds grew more intense as the battle between the two sky-prides continued.
