Chapter 1122: Chu Kuangren Arrives, All You Rebels Shall Go To Hell

Two figures — one black and one white — appeared outside the Firmament Star. They were the woman in the black dress, who had just escaped from the Firmament Star, and Tian Jingzi, the Firmament Star’s traitor.

“Tian Jingzi, I didn’t think you were still alive,” the woman in the black dress said in surprise as she looked at Tian Jingzi.

“Mm.”

Tian Jingzi looked displeased. “Although I was lucky enough to escape, my orthodoxy is gone.”

At the mention of that, his tone was filled with resentment.

It was the orthodoxy that he had built for countless years, and it was gone just like that. Anyone in his shoes would feel as terrible as he was.

“That’s alright. After the Planet Ruler annexes the Firmament Star, you can build another Heavenly Mirror Orthodoxy that’s even stronger than before,” said the woman in the black dress.

Then, she thought of something, and there was a hint of horror in her eyes. “Do you know the person who stopped us?”

That person was too terrifying.

She even wondered whether the Planet Ruler would be as vulnerable as them in the face of that person.

‘No. That’s impossible.’

‘The Planet Ruler is mighty. He can’t be that weak.’

“If I’m not mistaken, the person should be the founder of the Firmament Empire… Chu Kuangren,” said Tian Jingzi solemnly.

“I’ve heard about Chu Kuangren, but I didn’t expect him to be so powerful. He’s so good at Spacetime Dao that even the Spacetime Crystal can’t hurt him. He’ll be our greatest obstacle.”

“First, let’s go back and see the Planet Ruler,” said the woman in the black dress.

“Alright.” The man nodded.

…

Then, the two figures turned into a flash and dashed into the distance.

They were cautious for fear of being discovered by the people of the Empire. However, what puzzled them was that no one stopped or hunted them down along their way as if the assassination did not happen.

Nevertheless, they fled for their lives without thinking too much about it.

A few months later, Tian Jingzi and the woman in the black dress returned to a planet.

It was not Seven Wings Planet but a planet without Heavenly Dao. It was also where the Seven Wings Planet Ruler had gathered all forces to fight against the Firmament Star.

At the moment, in a palace on the planet.

“Greetings, Planet Ruler.”

The woman in the black dress and Tian Jingzi knelt before a middle-aged, majestic-looking man who had a square face, dressed in a golden robe and wore a crown on his head.

He was the Seven Wings Planet Ruler.

“You’ve failed your mission?” The Seven Wings Planet Ruler frowned.

Both of them looked ashamed when they heard that.

“Ruler, you told me to cause a dispute within the Empire, but for some reason, it exposed the Heavenly Mirror Orthodoxy instead. Since my subordinate violated your trust, please punish me.” Tian Jingzi dared not quibble.

Next to him, the woman in the black dress then reported the assassination.

“Oh, Chu Kuangren…”

Seven Wings Planet Ruler’s eyes flashed at the mention of the name. “I’ve heard of this person before. He’s very famous in the Firmament Galaxy and Jade Emperor Galaxy, but I heard he has gone to the Planquilon Immortal World. I didn’t expect him to return at this time.”

“Perhaps he returned much earlier but has been hiding behind the scene.” The Seven Wings Planet Ruler made a guess.

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something. “That’s not right. If Chu Kuangren had taken action, how could both of you escape safely? Besides, did you encounter any obstacles on the way back?”

“We moved about secretly and were not discovered.”

“Foolish!”

The Seven Wings Planet Ruler snorted. “Quick! Get all Sect Masters and Planet Rulers to leave here immediately.”

As if having understood something, both of their expressions changed.

The Planet Rulers and Sect Masters immediately acted when they received the notice from the Seven Wings Planet Ruler, wanting to escape from there.

A Planet Ruler flew out into the planet’s extraterritorial region and wanted to escape as fast as he could.

However, he slammed into an invisible barricade that had suddenly appeared in space.

“What’s going on?”

“D*mn it. Our whereabouts have been exposed!”

Some people’s expressions shifted as they thought of something while some others carefully observed the barricade.

The barricade was covered with countless Daoist patterns and Immortal Sparks flowing through it, containing surging spacetime energy.

“It is a Spacetime Barricade formed by spacetime energy!”

“Who can form a Spacetime Barricade like that? Could it be an Immortal who is proficient in the Spacetime Dao?”

Seven Wings Planet Ruler said solemnly to the black-dressed woman next to him, “Did you say Chu Kuangren is proficient in Spacetime Dao?”

“Yes.”

“It looks like he’s already here.”

Boom, boom, boom…

Some Planet Rulers and Sect Masters refused to be trapped on the planet, so they channeled their powers non-stop to bombard the Spacetime Barricade.

The barricade made a roar but only circles of ripples spread on the surface.

The crowd’s attack could not destroy the formation.

“D*mn it. The barricade is too powerful.”

“Who is it?”

While everyone was puzzled and shocked, a figure in white gradually approached and penetrated the barricade.

It was a transcendent-looking figure with a white-jaded ancient sword and a scroll tied around his waist. He had waist-length hair, and his clothing was as white as snow. The terrifying aura he emanated swept across the universe like a raging wave as if an Immortal King had arrived!

“Let me introduce myself. I’m the King of the Firmament Empire. Why aren’t all of you kneeling before a King?” asked Chu Kuangren indifferently.

Shortly after, the energy on his body soared again, and his terrifyingly domineering aura made almost all cultivators present kneel as if they were welcoming the king.

Only a minimal number of Earthen Immortals could withstand it.

“W-What a terrifying power!”

The Seven Wings Planet Ruler and others panicked.

If his aura was alone already so powerful, how earth-shattering would an attack from him be?!

Everyone could not dare to imagine it, but they knew the person before them was not an existence they could defeat!

He was horrifying!

“H-How did you manage to find us?” asked the black-dressed woman.

Chu Kuangren glanced at her and pointed out a sword finger sign. In an instant, the woman exploded on the spot, and sword qi began spreading outward from her body, killing some of the cultivators lying on the ground.

“This is my answer. If it weren’t because you guys had to lead the way, do you think both of you could get out of the Empire?” Chu Kuangren said while looking at Tian Jingzi.

When Tian Jingzi appeared to save the black-dressed woman, Chu Kuangren had already decided to let them leave so that he could trace their location with the help of sword qi, which he had secretly left on the black-dressed woman.

“Run!”

Tian Jingzi’s expression changed. He wanted to flee because he knew he could not defeat Chu Kuangren, but the Spacetime Barricade blocked his way.

The Spacetime Barricade was an Immortal Technique developed by Chu Kuangren based on the Spacetime Dao. Even a Heavenly Immortal would need a lot of effort to break the barricade, let alone an ordinary Earthen Immortal like Tian Jingzi.

“All you rebels shall go to hell!” Chu Kuangren said coldly. His murderous intent was so overwhelming that everyone present trembled with a hint of despair in their eyes.
