Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1903

Chapter 1903: 1903

Gao Kui knew he was about to die . He wanted to take Imperial Prince Huo with him to the underworld .

So sudden was his attack that the imperial prince and the chief warden were both caught off guard . If Gao Kui was allowed to get near them and self-detonate, he would unleash incredible destruction .

It was hard for empyrean experts to defend against their fellows’ suicidal techniques . In fact, suicide attacks were the most dangerous kind in their duels .

If someone chose to ignore any danger to themselves, they would inevitably become significantly more dangerous to others in turn . Only an expert that could overwhelm them would have no reason to fear .

Gao Kui’s sudden charge sent Imperial Prince Huo into a panic .

“We go together!” cackled the Tritalent expert .

However, his ideas were cut short by a golden wall that had spontaneously materialized into being . The barrier completely cut him off from the imperial prince . No matter how hard he hit it, he could not get through .

Gritting his teeth, Gao Kui soared into the air in an attempt to get a different angle .

When he did so, however, a golden bell was waiting for him .

It opened its maw like an ancient consuming beast, ravenous enough to swallow up even the heavens and earth .

The bell smashed into Gao Kui, ringing with dragonsong . Potent energy radiated from the bell in the form of an immense pillar of light, enveloping its victim within .

Gao Kui was like a rabbit in a cage, entirely unable to escape no matter how hard he tried .

Jiang Chen stood in midair with stern majesty . His Evil Golden Eye opened wide, firing ray of consciousness into Gao Kui’s own eyes .

“Know your place!” There was a faint authority in his voice that naturally invoked awe in others .

Nearby, the Vermilion Bird was rather amazed . It had seen countless human experts from ancient times until now . Even so, even the ancient leaders of humanity could only equal the youth in authority . This Jiang Chen was a natural leader of the highest caliber .

He was more used to being in power than practically anyone else the bird had seen!

“That humanity would have a genius like him nowadays… I suppose there is a reason for the human race’s long standing vitality . ” The sacred fowl was shaken .

Though it had attained godhood, it didn’t lord that achievement over its companion . It knew well that Jiang Chen would reach the same level someday soon .

In fact, the Vermilion Bird believed Jiang Chen to have much more future potential than itself . The young man’s capacity for achievement was immeasurable . Perhaps he would walk where no genius has walked before, and work miracles the world has never seen!

Something strange began to happen .

The arrogant Gao Kui’s fierce expression turned to helplessness and despair . His body hardened bit by bit, until his expression and extremities became totally frozen .  

He had become a statue!

Imperial Prince Huo and his men were positively astonished . Had he been turned into a statue by a mere look from Jiang Chen? What scary ability was this?

The imperial prince’s heart pounded . He’d always thought Jiang Chen’s strength to come from his prominent status and his partner the Vermilion Bird .

Though Jiang Chen was certainly a genius himself, his strength hadn’t been greatly perfected yet .

What he saw though, proved those assumptions naively false .

With the abilities he’d shown so far alone, Jiang Chen could easily cause a great deal of trouble for Rejuvenation without taking the Vermilion Bird at all into account .

His archery skills and his ocular skills seemed inescapable . The imperial prince wasn’t sure he would’ve been able to escape Gao Kui’s fate had their places been switched .

He exchanged a relieved look with Chief Warden Ding . They were lucky to have made the right choice in more ways than one . If they hadn’t sought a compromise, making an enemy out of Jiang Chen was absolutely suicidal .

Jiang Chen was no longer the same man as Jiang Huang the fugitive!

He was a force to be reckoned with anywhere in the Ten Divine Nations, much less among the lesser factions .

The two left behind were even more clueless . They tried to run, but were caught and crushed by Long Xiaoxuan with little resistance .

The dragon was seventh level empyrean realm, and his draconic heritage allowed him to fight as well as a peak ninth level expert .

Taking down two seventh level cultivators was more than easy . He utterly outshone them in both power and speed .

Gao Kui’s twelve-man ambush squad had been fully wiped out .

Even Imperial Prince Huo felt like he was dreaming . He knew that Tritalent would no longer be a problem after receiving young lord Jiang Chen’s patronage, but he hadn’t expected such a smooth resolution to his problems . Rejuvenation’s life-and-death issues were trivial affairs for the Eternal Sacred Land’s young lord .

The imperial prince stirred with thoughtful emotion . At the end of the day, strength decided standing . Currying favors was only going to get them so far .

Jiang Chen glanced at Imperial Prince Huo . “I killed them, so I’m going to take the things they’ve left behind . There’s no problem with that, I trust?”

“Of course, of course . They are your spoils, young lord,” came the hasty reply . How could Imperial Prince Huo possibly want to dispute ownership? “Let me send out my men to collect the belongings for you,” he suggested thoughtfully .

The battlefield was tidied up in a few quick moments .

“Let’s keep going,” Jiang Chen remarked with a collected ease . “And while we have time, tell me what factions Tritalent has managed to garner as its allies . How many experts are there, approximately?”

Imperial Prince Huo was gleeful . “After suffering this devastating defeat, the Tritalent Isles will be severely hurt . We might be able to take advantage of this by quashing Tritalent itself . Everything will be solved then!”

“Well, then let’s follow that plan . ” Jiang Chen nodded .

He lacked understanding about second and third rate factions in Myriad Abyss, but according to some common sense, the twelve dead empyrean experts would’ve been the majority of Tritalent’s higher end – plus a number of other factions’ as well .

Just Tritalent alone probably didn’t have that many advanced empyrean experts .
