Section 55: Extreme Path Great Push
By Gu Zhenren, June 18, 2014
Hearing the Emperor-level powerhouses around shouting prices for a Battle Victory Scroll, even arguing until their faces turned red, Chu Yun couldn’t help but feel curious.
He knew that in this Sea Eye Abyss of Ancient Saint’s inheritance, the Battle Victory Scroll was the least popular item. Emperor-level powerhouses found them beneath them, and Great Emperor-level powerhouses couldn’t use them, resulting in very low prices. Great Emperor-level powerhouses would often sigh in disappointment upon killing an Innate Divine Demon only to find a Battle Victory Scroll as loot.
But what was happening now? Why were so many Great Emperor-level powerhouses scrambling for a single Battle Victory Scroll?
Immediately, Chu Yun packed up his stall and walked forward with Dawn Emperor.
The bidding calls continued endlessly. Soon, the prices offered by the Great Emperors had already exceeded the market price by more than five times.
However, the seller of this Battle Victory Scroll still shook his head, smiling as he watched the bids, acting as if he had a rare commodity.
“Isn’t that Marquis Ming?”
Chu Yun recognized him instantly.
Marquis Ming was a Great Emperor-level Monster Tamer from Tuo Zhou, renowned for his sonic attacks. His Innate Divine Ability was the Profound Sound of Comprehension, where his mastery of music was almost akin to the Dao. His power was immense, placing him in the upper echelon among Emperor-level powerhouses.
Although Chu Yun now possessed four Battle Victory Skills, quadrupling his combat power, he still wasn’t Marquis Ming’s match.
“Your bids are too stingy. Time is precious, why waste it? From now on, each bid increase must exceed twenty Star Stones, otherwise, do not bid,” Marquis Ming suddenly announced. His voice was unique and varied, starting hoarsely, then becoming sharp like colliding metal in the middle, and finally as melodious as tinkling springs.
The Great Emperor-level powerhouses immediately groaned, their expressions filled with dejection. However, due to Marquis Ming’s authority, they dared not complain.
The bidding paused for a moment before continuing. Each increase now surpassed twenty Star Stones. Gradually, a large portion of Great Emperor-level powerhouses withdrew from the competition. Yet, a significant number continued to bid against each other, unwilling to give up.
By this point, the price had already exceeded the average market price by tenfold, astonishing both Chu Yun and Dawn Emperor.
What was going on? What kind of Battle Victory Scroll was this?
“This Battle Victory Scroll is named Extreme Path Great Pusher. It possesses a single effect: to mobilize World Power and infuse it into individual demonic creatures, enhancing their cultivation. Everyone here is intelligent; the impact of such a Battle Skill should be obvious. Those who desire it must bid quickly. In five minutes, the auction will end, and I must depart to continue exploring.”
Marquis Ming had long sensed Chu Yun’s arrival. He rejoiced inwardly, knowing that Chu Yun’s Innate Divine Ability could digest Chaos Demonic Crystals and that he possessed considerable wealth. Though he had only recently ascended, his wealth ranked among the top Great Emperor-level powerhouses. Therefore, much of his speech was directed at Chu Yun.
Chu Yun and Dawn Emperor’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Extreme Path Great Pusher!
A technique that could infuse World Power into demonic creatures, pushing their cultivation to higher realms!
In an instant, Chu Yun had an epiphany, understanding why so many Great Emperor-level powerhouses were clamoring for it.
At the Great Emperor level, the most commonly used demonic creatures were of the Innate level. However, the cultivation of Innate-level demonic creatures was already in the millions or tens of millions, making breakthroughs difficult in a short period.
The most common method to enhance a demonic creature’s cultivation was to devour Demonic Crystals after winning battles, leading to a surge in its power. However, Innate demonic creatures were still rare, and Great Emperor-level powerhouses cherished them. Wild Innate demonic creatures were even rarer to the point of extinction. After all, the Nine Provinces were the Immortal Pouch Worlds of the Saints. Any Innate wild demonic creatures that appeared were almost immediately claimed by Saints, leaving none for these Emperor-level powerhouses.
Of course, the Sea of Chaos contained a vast number of wild Innate demonic creatures. But the issue was that these Chaos Demonic Crystals could not be digested. Therefore, the scenario of cultivating through devouring Demonic Crystals had practically vanished for Innate demonic creatures.
Thus, Emperors were desperately in need of a method to enhance the cultivation of Innate demonic creatures, one that could serve as an alternative to Demonic Crystals.
With such a method, their combat power would greatly increase. This would enhance their efficiency in slaying Innate Divine Demons, creating a positive cycle for the development of their Immortal Pouch Worlds, allowing them to surpass those of the same level and even catch up to older powerhouses.
Previously, Great Emperor-level powerhouses were reluctant to cultivate Battle Victory Skills, deeming the cost-effectiveness too low and the consumption of World Power to be too much. However, the Extreme Path Great Pusher was different from ordinary Battle Victory Skills, making its allure irresistible.
“I offer fifty Enlightenment Stones, sixty Star Stones, and twenty portions of Innate Original Essence,” Chu Yun announced, having understood the situation. He immediately joined the bidding.
His voice was not loud, but his bid was fierce, causing a momentary silence among the onlookers.
Marquis Ming’s lips curled up; he knew his explanation had not been in vain.
The surrounding Emperors couldn’t help but cast their gazes at Chu Yun. Some had bloodshot eyes, conveying a strong warning. Others secretly lamented, knowing that with Chu Yun’s immense wealth, their chances had become even slimmer.
“Hmph, I offer eighty Enlightenment Stones, sixty Star Stones, ten portions of Innate Gold Essence, ten portions of Innate Water Essence, and ten portions of Innate Wood Essence,” Thunder Emperor glared at Chu Yun fiercely, his voice chilling, breaking the silence.
Everyone seemed to snap out of a daze, and several more bids followed. However, the situation no longer had a hundred bidders; only a few contenders remained.
Chu Yun sneered and continued to bid multiple times. His efficiency in slaying Innate Divine Demons was several times that of ordinary Emperor-level powerhouses. He also acquired Chaos Demonic Crystals to strengthen his World Power. Although he was a newly promoted Emperor-level powerhouse, his foundation was not weak; he possessed the Blissful Joy Ship, which even Emperor-level powerhouses envied. Therefore, his wealth had long surpassed that of his peers, with only seasoned Emperor-level powerhouses having a deeper reserve to place him slightly behind.
He had no fear of such bidding.
“So powerful, Spirit Emperor is indeed extraordinary, possessing great wealth.”
“How long has he been promoted, yet he can contend with established Emperors? He truly has a knack for it, not to be underestimated.”
“The key is his Innate Divine Ability, which allows him to digest Chaos Demonic Crystals. And to encounter a blessed place like the Sea Eye Abyss, his destiny journey is truly extraordinary!”
Some Emperors who had withdrawn from the bidding began to whisper amongst themselves.
Beside him, Dawn Emperor repeatedly cast surprised glances at Chu Yun’s powerful bidding.
Under Chu Yun’s display, the remaining few Emperors also withdrew from the bidding. Some shook their heads, others gave wry smiles; continuing to bid would be more of a loss than a gain.
Finally, only Thunder Emperor and Chu Yun remained.
“Spirit Emperor, you should know your limits. As a newcomer, where do you get so much wealth? Don’t let your pride delay the development of your Immortal Pouch World,” Thunder Emperor said, with his hands behind his back, looking at Chu Yun with a cold smile.
Thunder Emperor hailed from Barbarian Continent, but he had a grievance with the recently promoted Chu Yun from Xingzhou.
This all stemmed from the Second Spirit Light Pill.
At that time, in the battle for the Second Spirit Light Pill, Thunder Emperor, Incense Emperor, Night Emperor, and Dragon Emperor had fought fiercely, suffering heavy losses. But in the end, Chu Yun had reaped the benefits.
Thunder Emperor, an established Emperor-level powerhouse, had been publicly humiliated by Chu Yun, thus harboring deep resentment. Now, Chu Yun was competing with him for a Battle Victory Scroll, adding new grievances to old ones.
Thunder Emperor’s words were filled with threats, causing a slight shift in the expressions of the onlookers.
Everyone knew Thunder Emperor was an established powerhouse with profound combat strength, and his Innate Divine Ability, the Overlord Electric Sea Thunderous Sound, was unparalleled. In contrast, although Spirit Emperor was wealthy, he was a newly promoted Emperor. Compared to Thunder Emperor, he held less weight in everyone’s eyes.
“As a junior, I, Thunder Emperor, will not bully you. If you withdraw now, I will compensate you with ten portions of Innate Original Essence. Otherwise, this Sea Eye Abyss is not that large, nor is it small. If we meet again in the future, hmph…” Thunder Emperor continued.
After threats came enticements.
Unfortunately, these benefits meant nothing to Chu Yun. He cared about Innate True Essence, but Innate Original Essence was an endless supply for him.
Chu Yun remained unmoved, his expression placid. “Marquis Ming, even if you offered ten times more, I would not yield. Don’t speak such useless words, it only makes me look down on you. Bid fairly, you bid, and I will accompany you to the end.”
His words were filled with confidence, refusing to back down.
“Insolent junior!” Thunder Emperor’s anger flared, his eyes wide like copper bells, flashing with ferocity as he glared at Chu Yun, as if he were about to devour him.
Chu Yun remained calm and continued to bid, treating Thunder Emperor as if he were invisible.
If Thunder Emperor hadn’t said those words, Chu Yun would have been somewhat worried. But now, with Thunder Emperor resorting to threats and enticements, he had already shown his weakness.
Therefore, Chu Yun was full of confidence, seizing the opportunity to press his advantage.
Indeed, after several rounds, Thunder Emperor finally couldn’t sustain it. After all, his Immortal Pouch World could not digest Chaos Demonic Crystals, and his World Power was limited.
“Chu Yun, you remember this. Time is long, and I hope we will meet often in the Sea Eye Abyss!” Thunder Emperor said, flicking his sleeve and leaving with a parting threat.
The onlookers’ eyes lit up.
“The Sea Eye Abyss will be livelier in the future,” some said with schadenfreude.
“This Spirit Emperor is truly a fearless cub, with some spirit.”
“Heh, it’s just reckless courage. Having offended Thunder Emperor, he’ll have to suffer later.” Most people did not think highly of Chu Yun.
Dawn Emperor also cast a worried glance, wanting to speak but holding back.
“Wait.” To everyone’s surprise, Chu Yun, with a cold expression, stopped Thunder Emperor. “Thunder Emperor, are you leaving already? Since we have old and new grudges, let’s settle them here and now. Electric Sea Thunderous Sound; I’ve long wanted to experience its power.”
Everyone was stunned. They hadn’t expected Chu Yun to be so aggressive, voluntarily challenging Thunder Emperor.
“This Chu Yun is perhaps too arrogant. He’s just a newly promoted Emperor, yet he wants to challenge an established powerhouse.”
“Heh heh, young people don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. It would be good for him to suffer a little, relieving the gloom of these recent days.”
“Not necessarily. Those who become Emperors are not fools. He wants to challenge Thunder Emperor, he must have some reliance.”
The crowd chattered.
“Hahaha!” Thunder Emperor laughed in anger. “Good, good, good! You audacious junior, let me teach you a lesson.”
With that, he flew into the sky, patted his Immortal Pouch, and revealed his Thunder World.
Chu Yun was unfazed. He stamped his foot, his body moving like lightning as he shot into the sky. Simultaneously, he unleashed a corner of his Immortal Pouch World, colliding with Thunder Emperor.
Instantly, the two Immortal Pouch Worlds met, and a great battle erupted.
