Chapter 610: Combat Emperor

“I didn’t expect the Five Thunders incantation to be so useful in the Wind Thunder Abyss!” It was the first time Shangguan Yu realized the power of incantations. She felt that the thunderbolts earlier were already close to the emperor-class.

Li Fuchen nodded, “But the Thunder Heart Lake’s thunder arcs aren’t within my control.”

“That is because your Five Thunders incantation’s proficiency isn’t that high. Of course, as compared to your cultivation time, it is already extremely competent.” Shangguan Yu felt that her innate perception was already rather good, but in comparison to Li Fuchen, she seemed to be inferior.

Due to the Skull Blood Curse, Li Fuchen didn’t dare to immediately consume the Thunder Calamity Herb. He was going to wait until the moment the SKull Blood Curse was removed before he consumed it to help in the breakthrough of his body’s endurance limits.

After wandering around for some days, they didn’t even even see the shadow of the Rootless Flower. Shangguan Yu said, “Why don’t we go deeper?”

Before this, they were only venturing the outer region of the Wind Thunder Abyss’ inner abyss.

The inner abyss was roughly divided into four regions: Outer region, middle region, inner region, and the abyss core.

Peak-class monarchs were able to venture in the outer region, but if they were in the middle-region, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the wind blades and the thunderbolts. It was absolute death. As for the inner region, even half-emperors would die there.

With the duo’s strength, it was already very strenuous for them in the middle region, but they were still able to endure.

“Alright.”

Li Fuchen decided that it didn’t matter if they obtained the Rootless Flower or not, they would leave the Wind Thunder Abyss in one more week.

After entering the inner abyss’ middle region, the duo could feel an obvious increase in the power of the wind blades and thunderbolts. Whenever a wind blade or a thunderbolt struck at them, their qi power or sword energy would be reduced at a speed that was several times faster than before.

“The wind blades here seem to be stronger than the thunderbolts?” Li Fuchen used his sword to cleave apart a horrific wind blade and asked.

Shangguan Yu replied, “I reckon that we are rather close to the Wind Cave.”

The Wind Cave was also one of the three dangerous places in the Wind Thunder Abyss, just like the Thunder Heart Lake.

In ancient records, the Thunder Heart Lake was the burial ground of a thunder dao saint, while the Wind Cave was a burial ground of a wind dao saint.

Shangguan Yu was right as they arrived at the Wind Cave half a day later.

The Wind Cave was a gigantic deep cave. Within the cave was an enormous whirlpool of gale. The whirlpool emitted a horrific sound that was like a hurricane. Just hearing it would give off a sensation that the world was going to be destroyed.

It was said that a great emperor once entered the Wind Cave recklessly and never came back out.

Li Fuchen’s spiritual awareness extended towards the Wind Cave, but he quickly paid the price.

The wind within the Wind Cave had a devastating power against spiritual awareness. When his spiritual awareness just entered the Wind Cave, it had been ripped to pieces by the gale and it caused a stinging pain to Li Fuchen’s mind.

“Such terrifying wind dao laws.” Li Fuchen gasped with surprise.

The wind dao laws within the Wind Cave were the most fearsome wind dao laws he had seen. With the wind dao laws around, the rest of the laws had withdrawn and there was nothing but devastation inside. Even spiritual awareness couldn’t exist inside the cave.

“Someone once found the Rootless Flower in the vicinity of the Wind Cave. Let’s look around.” Shangguan Yu stated.

“Alright.”

Li Fuchen’s spiritual awareness consciously avoided the Wind Cave and scanned around the vicinity.

The Wind Cave wasn’t big and was only a few thousand miles in size. If it was a normal situation, they wouldn’t need a lot of time to go around it. However, the Wind Cave was surrounded with violent winds and the duo had to take each step carefully, making it very difficult to move at high speed.

After one day, the duo exhausted half of their qi power and sword energy before finally walking half of the Wind Cave’s exterior.

Swish!

All of a sudden, not far away from the Wind Cave, a small shadow flew out.

Li Fuchen scanned with his spiritual awareness and noticed that the shadow was actually a flower. It was a slightly translucent flower with grey stalk.

“Rootless Flower!” Li Fuchen’s eyes lit up.

The Rootless Flower was grey and slightly translucent, just as described in the heaven class herb compendium.

“It is indeed the Rootless Flower.”

Shangguan Yu’s spiritual awareness had also noticed the Rootless Flower. After flying out the Wind Cave, the Rootless Flower’s movement speed was slower.

“The Rootless Flower must be harvested with the hand. Qi isn’t able to touch its body.” Shangguan Yu informed.

“Understood.”

Li Fuchen naturally knew of the Rootless Flower’s characteristics.

This flower was rare because it contained the void dao laws and the dantian also contained the void dao laws.

Li Fuchen soared into the sky and reached out to grab the Rootless Flower.

“Let go!”

Right at this moment, a distorted blade light slashed at Li Fuchen.

Li Fuchen had an intuition that if he was struck by this blade light, he would definitely die.

“Peak-class half-emperor? No, it should be a combat emperor.” In an instant, Li Fuchen’s mind flashed with plenty of thoughts.

Combat emperors weren’t necessarily able to contest with Law Phase Realm emperors, only peak-class combat emperors had such strength.

Those who could become combat emperors didn’t just cultivate heaven class martial arts, they also cultivate heaven class cultivation technique. Such people were destined to enter the Law Phase Realm.

“Break!”

Shangguan Yu sent a fist at the blade light, but the blade light was much tougher than Shangguan Yu thought. It might have shattered, but the shattered blade lights were still flying towards Li Fuchen.

Li Fuchen gave up on the Rootless Flower and drew his Joint-Heaven Sword to execute the Heaven and Earth Extermination.

Bang, boom!

Pff Pff Pff Pff…

Heaven and Earth Extermination was blasted through and Li Fuchen’s body was riddled with dozens of blood wounds. He was sent flying and had vomited a streak of blood.

“Who are you?” Shangguan Yu stared at the black-robed youth who wasn’t far away.

“Get lost before I am enraged!” The black-robed youth disregarded Li Fuchen and Shangguan Yu while saying indifferently.

“With the likes of you?” Shangguan Yu’s body burst out with qi spirit.

After refining the Thunder Calamity Herb, her qi power had been constantly increasing and she believed that she could contest with a low-class combat emperor.

“If your body refinement is at completion level, I might be apprehensive, but you are still far from that standard.”

The black-robed youth brandished a serpent blade and thrust at Shangguan Yu’s face with a twisting blade light.

“Five Forms Emperor Fist, Champosaurus Kill!” Shangguan Yu blasted a fist. A champosaurus image that confronted the blade light.

Pfff!

It was obvious that the black-robed youth exerted more strength this time as the champosaurus image was instantly penetrated. The remaining blade light then gashed Shangguan Yu’s shoulder. The wound was constantly expanding and Shangguan Yu had to use her qi power to suppress the wound.

“His strength is at least a mid-class combat emperor?” Shangguan Yu’s expression turned dark.

A combat emperor was already considered a true emperor, and they only required a little more time before progressing the Law Phase Realm.

The strength difference between combat emperors was far bigger than the difference between half-emperors.

The higher the class of the combat emperor, the closer to being a Law Phase Realm emperor.

If a low-class combat emperor cultivated heaven class martial martial art and heaven class cultivation technique, then a mid-class combat emperor would have cultivated both the martial art and technique to the highest stage and rank. As for high-class combat emperors, they must possess heaven class weapons.

As for the peak-class combat emperors who were able to contest with the weakest Law Phase Realm emperor, they would need a high grade of divine ability.

After all, even if a combat emperor cultivated heaven class cultivation technique and martial art, it was the same for Law Phase Realm emperors. However, Law Phase Realm emperors’ qi was several dozens of times stronger than combat emperors’ qi. It wasn’t even in the same realm.

Of course, apart from cultivation technique, martial art, and weapons, the bone frame was very important.

Even if the Red Rainbow Monarch created a heaven class cultivation technique, his strength would only be a low-level combat emperor at best. As his bone frame was only the 7-star blazing flame bone frame. It was inferior to 7-star special bone frames, let alone 8-star extraordinary bone frames and 8-star special bone frames.
