Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 1496
1496 News Is Out, You Are All Horrified, Unmatched By The Power Of One Man
“Hahaha!”
Somewhere in the Immortal World, Mister Zhang, who was riding his donkey, sensed the energy presence at Laojun City and cackled with laughter.
“You guys didn’t kill him! You guys didn’t kill him!”
Mister Zhang looked up at the sky, as though he was sneering at those old geezers in the Immortal Hall.
!!
Many other great ones in the Immortal World sensed Chu Kuangren’s energy presence as well, and it put a grave look on their faces. Their mood immediately became worse.
Chu Kuangren had appeared again and was stronger than ever before!
“History has repeated itself!” said one of the great ones.
“Back then, the Ape Forefather was also trapped in the Bagua Furnace, but after he broke free, he got divine visions and an indestructible body! Now, the same thing has happened to Chu Kuangren! Not only did he not get refined in the furnace, but he also got stronger!”
“Is the Bagua Furnace’s sole purpose to defy the Immortal Hall?” some great ones ridiculed.
Regardless, it was already a cold hard fact that Chu Kuangren was alive.
Everyone knew that the terrifying times of the madman overpowering the universe were about to return.
Back at Laojun City, Chu Kuangren cast the Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol to heal Lan Yu.
Then, he asked her about how she had been doing recently.
“Master, something called the Immortal Ranking has been circulating around the Immortal World recently. Now that you are out of the Bagua Furnace, you’re going to be ranked first!” Lan Yu said with a smile.
“The Immortal Ranking? Oh, I heard of it.”
“Huh?”
Lan Yu was confused. As far as she knew, Chu Kuangren was trapped in the Bagua Furnace for twenty years, so how would he know about the Immortal Ranking?
Besides, he did not ask anything about how the Immortal World’s development after he came out. It was as if he knew about what was happening in the outside world.
Despite having questions, Lan Yu was not in a hurry to meet them with answers.
They chatted before they planned a trip back to the academy.
The news of Chu Kuangren reappearing spread like wildfire across the Immortal World.
On a mountain peak somewhere in the Immortal World, a surge of violent demonic qi burst into the sky and shook the land.
The demonic qi even carried a vast destructive intent.
A man with a solemn look stood firm on the mountain peak with his spear.
“It’s been twenty years. Why must you come back? Chu Kuangren…”
He was none other than Shi Tianxuan.
After twenty years of cultivating, he had gained the bearing of a ruler, and every move he made screamed of extraordinary dominance.
On top of that, his cultivation base had become even more unfathomable.
Beside him were several other top elites from the Demon Kingdom, all Gilded Immortals. However, despite being Gilded Immortals themselves, they revered Shi Tianxuan.
“Fine. You remain a piece of a thorn in my flesh, a trauma that I must face sooner or later, Chu Kuangren. If I can’t defeat you, I won’t be able to ascend into the Arch Gilded Realm.”
One must go through countless trials and tests in order to ascend into the Arch Gilded Realm, and one’s Daoist core played a crucial part.
Chu Kuangren traumatized him greatly in the past and became the sole reason that stopped his Daoist core from perfecting. Only by defeating his arch-nemesis could Shi Tianxuan perfect his Daoist core.
Other than the Demon Kingdom, there was the East Sovereign Immortal Hall.
The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist also received news about Chu Kuangren’s return. Due to the sudden shock, he accidentally released the Grand Solar Flame and scorched several thousand kilometers of mountains and rivers.
“Chu Kuangren, a name long due,” the Eastern Sky Divine Daoist muttered.
“What are you planning to do about it?”
In front of the Eastern Sky Divine Daoist was a young man in blue robes. He was one of the Divine Daoists from the Nine Houses, Gentleman Shang Divine Daoist.
“Observe.”
The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist had no plans to go into direct conflict with Chu Kuangren immediately.
“You’re afraid.”
Gentleman Shang Divine Daoist glanced at him and spoke his mind honestly.
“Yes. I am indeed afraid of him.” The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist admitted his fear as well.
“You’re afraid of him, but I am not. He killed Shang’er, and I must make him pay for what he did.”
The Shang’er that Gentleman Shang Divine Daoist mentioned was the late Lady Shang Divine Maiden, who was also his Daoist partner.
Lady Shang Divine Maiden was killed by Chu Kuangren back at the Interstellar Arena.
His feud with Chu Kuangren started when the man killed his Daoist partner.
He swore an oath to never stop until he avenged his dead wife.
“I’m jealous of you because you have never faced Chu Kuangren before. You have no idea how terrifying that man is,” the Eastern Sky Divine Daoist said indifferently.
Only the sky-prides who had faced Chu Kuangren before understood how much of a monster he was.
Since Gentleman Shang Divine Daoist had never faced Chu Kuangren before, he did not know how terrifying the man could be. He had no reverence for the man as well.
“I think you guys are simply too scared to act. Twenty years might not be long, but it’s enough for us Prodigies to evolve into a greater state. While he was trapped in the Bagua Furnace, we improved and are no longer who we used to be. He’s just a remnant of time,” Gentleman Shang Divine Daoist said.
“A remnant of time? I think I might have to look at you differently just because you have the nerves to say that.”
A teasing voice sounded.
The Great Arbiter Divine Maiden came over and glanced at Gentleman Shang Divine Daoist with a ridiculing gaze.
“Hmph. You’re the same as well, Great Arbiter Divine Maiden. You have been afraid of him for twenty years.”
“Anyone who was in the Interstellar Arena twenty years ago is afraid of him,” she said.
The sole thought of that white figure filled her heart with fear, reverence, and a hint of admiration.
Despite being the superior Divine Maiden, she could not stop herself from falling for such an extraordinary man.
“Hmph. I really have to meet him myself soon.”
…
Zhuanxu’s successor and Xuanyuan’s successor from the Human Emperor Sect received the news as well.
“He’s not dead.”
Zhuanxu’s successor had multiple black water droplets floating around him.
Compared to twenty years ago, his cultivation base was a lot stronger, and the Nether Black Water’s power had reached new heights.
The droplets of water felt like they contained the unfathomable ocean inside them.
In fact, not only his, but even the Xuanyuan’s successor’s energy presence felt a lot stronger. The Xuanyuan Sword at his waist was also surrounded by multiple golden sword qi, granting it a prestigious look.
“Yes. He is not dead. This is…great!” Xuanyuan’s successor grinned.
“If he’s alive, it means the Ultimate Human Emperor Technique isn’t lost! We still have a chance to get it and succeed in the Human Emperor’s fate!”
“You’re right about the chance, but you must first defeat him.”
Zhuanxu’s successor gleamed. Then, a sudden epiphany hit him, and he said, “Do you think Long Xuan is his match?”
Long Xuan, the eldest crown prince of the Dragon Palace, ranked first on the Immortal Ranking. Other than Chu Kuangren, he was the only Peerless Prodigy in the current era.
“Chu Kuangren isn’t someone anyone can fight alone,” Xuanyuan’s successor said.
His words meant that although Long Xuan was a Peerless Prodigy, he might still be lackluster in front of Chu Kuangren.
Even though it had been twenty years, Xuanyuan’s successor somehow had an ominous feeling that Chu Kuangren was even more terrifying than he was before.
The news of Chu Kuangren’s reappearance spread across the Immortal World. All the sky-prides and Prodigies were shocked to various extents.
The horrifying scene from twenty years ago replayed in their minds again.
The fear of being occupied by the figure in white terrorized them.
