<h4>Chapter 625: Locking Sight on the Ancestral Land, A Trip To Sword Tribe, Pay For What You’ve Done</h4>


    After finding out some information about affirming Dao through strength, Chu Kuangren was already calcting how best to approach this method.


    Looking back at those people who affirmed their Dao through strength in the past, almost all of them had an insane amount of foundation and were unrivaled among their counterparts.


    Chu Kuangren’s current foundation was already very strong. With nine strands of Emperor qi and Invincible Dao, almost no Sovereign could overpower him right now.


    However, he was just not sure if his current capabilities were strong enough to affirm Dao through strength.


    He intended to continue umting more power.


    To gather more power, what he needed were resources.


    “Right now, there aren’t any great Opportunities of Fortune on Emperor Road. I must find more resources quickly, and it won’t be an easy task.”


    Chu Kuangren scanned through the Yin and Yang Ring with his mind power once. Prior to this, he had killed a bunch of Sovereigns, and he reckoned that he must have looted quite a number of valuable resources.


    Yet, he still regarded this amount as too little.


    He still had not visited the Forbidden Barren Wastnds himself.


    Forbidden Barren Wastnds?


    Did he need to make a trip to the Forbidden Barren Wastnds?


    However, besides the most core areas, the rest of the zones at that ce did not seem to have any great opportunities of fortune to scour.


    “Is waiting for the Emperor Mountain to open and then be an Emperor there my only option?”


    Chu Kuangren thought to himself.


    Affirming Dao through strength is a way to have the strongestbat strength after bing an Emperor.


    Nheless, if he could not seed in this, he would not dwell on it for long. Bing an Emperor on Emperor Mountain was an alternative.


    The only difference was that he had one more option than the other people.


    Still, the Emperor Mountain was not open yet, so he thought of attempting to affirm his Dao through strength and try if he could seed.


    “Resources, resources, there we have it…”


    Chu Kuangren suddenly remembered the Ancestral Land Foundation that he had obtained when raiding the Holy Ancestral Land previously.


    That Ancestral Land Foundation was by no means lesser in qualitypared to the Primeval Daoist Gem and equivalent treasures. That should be a make-ready resource that he had ess to.


    Sword Tribe, Wang n, Bai n, the Demonic Tribes…


    These forces plotted to assassinate him, yet he could not pretend like they never happened. Otherwise, he would not be called Chu Kuangren.


    “It’s rude to not return the favor. It seems like it’s about time I settle the score with the Sword Tribe, Demonic Tribe, Bai n, and the Wang n…”


    The edge of Chu Kuangren’s lip raised slightly.


    Beside him, Lan Yu saw Chu Kuangren’s grin and sighed helplessly… The fates of these forces were inevitably sealed.


    However, she did not express any sympathy for them.


    This was the consequence they deserved after offending Master!


    “Oh, right, Lan Yu, these are something I got from the Holy Light Chief Sovereign. There are some Light-attribute treasures in there, and some insights that the old man had gained from Holy Light Dao. There’s also an Emperor Weapon, which should be of some help to you.” Chu Kuangren took out a Yin and Yang Ring and handed it to Lan Yu.


    Lan Yu epted it gratefully. “Thank you, Master.”


    “You’re wee. I’ve also given you a piece of the Holy Ancestral Land’s Foundation back then, right? Your cultivation is nearing a bottleneck, and I myself would suffice to beat down Sword Tribe those rascals, so you stay here and be in closed-door meditation for the time being.”


    “Sounds good.”


    After that, Lan Yu bid a temporary goodbye to Chu Kuangren before heading to the ce where Nangong Huang and the others were meditating. Over there, she also began her own meditation to improve her own strength.


    …


    Sword Tribe.


    After catching wind of the events that unfolded at Seven Emotions Sect, Sword Tribe Leader instantly lost all hopes and courage he had of battling Chu Kuangren. He slumped into a depressed state for quite some time.


    He could not wrap his head around how there could possibly be a sky-pride as terrifying as Chu Kuangren in this world.


    “He’s an outlier, an absolute outlier!”


    The Sword Tribe Leader groaned at the sky.


    He was sitting at the edge of a cliff, where he gazed down at the vast Sword Tribe territories below the canyon. There were numerous exquisite talents in thesends, and sword qi could be seen soaring intensely.


    However, he did not feel happy at all.


    The Sword Tribe had lost their ouwed sky-pride, their most elite sky-pride of them all. This could be regarded as losing the qualification ofpeting for the Emperor’s Throne in this era.


    “It seems like the Emperor’s Throne of this era would surely end up in the hands of this person and nobody else. Still, after you’ve be Emperor, can you really rest assured that you won’t be met with any harm?”


    “The true value of our Sword Tribe lies within our Emperors!!”


    “The Emperors can’t interfere in matters that concern beings below the Emperor’s level. But once you be one, do you really think that the Sword Tribe’s Emperor and the Wang n’s Emperor would let you off the hook that easily?” the Sword Tribe Leader muttered.


    He had forgotten his intentions of being enemies with Chu Kuangren, but that did not mean that his hatred for him was gone. Conversely, he hated him to the very core!


    Yet, he had already run out of means to exact revenge on him.


    He could only leave this matter to the Emperors now.


    “Chu Kuangren, I shall see how long you can keep your head up for.”


    The Sword Tribe Leader scoffed loudly and prepared to leave the canyon.


    Just when he turned around, the longsword at his waist suddenly began to tremble uncontrobly.


    “What’s this?” The Sword Tribe Leader’s expression changed abruptly.


    Very soon, he realized that not only him, but the swords of all the swordsmen in Sword Tribe started to quiver against their wishes as well.


    “What’s going on? Why is my sword shaking?”


    “These swords seem to be… fearing something?!”


    “Gosh, what the hell does this phenomenon symbolize?!”


    In a moment, pandemonium reigned over the entire sword tribe. Everybody was plunged into a state of panic.


    Just then, a swordsman seemed to have noticed something. He stared into the distance and his eyes squinted in fear.


    A figure was seen slowly approaching the Sword Tribe’snds. That man was wearing a white robe and had jet-ck hair. He looked exquisitely handsome, and his movement almost looked divine.


    The more shocking thing for the Sword Tribe people was that the closer this man got to the Sword Tribends, the more violent the swords in their hands shuddered.


    An uncontroble terror started to spread in every swordsman’s hearts because they already had a rough idea of this man, who was fast approaching them!


    “In this world, only the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart could make countless sword weapons resonate. After our Daoist is dead, there is only one Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart remaining, which is… Chu Kuangren!!”


    “Such an appalling sword Dao ability has to be Chu Kuangren. What is this guy doing at the Sword Tribe?!”


    “Boohoo… he can’t be here to join as a swordsman, right?”


    “Stop standing there stunned like that. Quick, activate the Sword Tribe Mega Formation!!”


    One of the Sword Tribe elders yelled.


    The bad blood that Chu Kuangren had with the Sword Tribe was alreadymon knowledge amongst everyone on Emperor Road. Now that he hade to the Sword Tribe, everyone knew that he was not just here to visit.


    Adding to the fact that their swords were now emitting a tremendous sense of fear. This had to indicate that he came here to exact revenge.


    None of them dared to have anypse of concentration when facing Chu Kuangren!


    They had an intuition.


    An intuition that doom was about to descend upon the Sword Tribe!!


    Swish…


    A sword ray swooped down from the canyon above,nding right in the middle of the crowd. The figure fixed a dead stare on Chu Kuangren, who was walking toward them at a leisurely pace.


    “Everyone, brace yourselves!!”


    The Sword Tribe Leader growled inmand.


    At this moment, the Sword Tribe Defensive Mega Formation was already activated.


    Streaks of sword qished out from the Sword Tribe territories, interweaving with each other in the sky above them. Then, they turned into a giant bowl-like structure that cupped down onto the Sword Tribe’snds, shielding them.


    The nts and trees were all reduced to charred debris when met with this mega formation.


    Chu Kuangren kept his cool even after seeing this.


    He did not slow down his pace. Instead, he continued to take his sweet time as he walked toward them, as though he was here as a tourist. There was no hint of hostility or grimness in his expression.


    As he edged closer to the Sword Tribends, each Sword Tribe swordsman could feel an incredibly horrifying pressure shrouding onto them.


    It was not just affecting their bodies, but their minds too.


    When he reached in front of the mega formation, Chu Kuangren stopped in his tracks and nced at the Sword Tribe Leader, who was inside the formation. He greeted him calmly, “Sword Tribe Leader, we finally meet in person.”


    “What do you want from us this time?!”


    Sword Tribe Leader stared at Chu Kuangren with hostility and questioned him.


    “Simple. I want you to pay for what you’ve done.”
