Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 1666
1666 Escaping Death, the Void Collapses, Chu Kuangren Is a True Hero
The light from the Kunlun Mirror continued illuminating the void storm. Countless mysterious runes swirled around it like stars in the galaxy, their radiance bursting through the chaos of the storm!
However, everyone shrouded within the mirror’s light could tell that the Kunlun Mirror’s power was weakening.
If that were to continue, the void storm would eventually eat through the mirror’s light. It meant that everyone within would be disintegrated on the spot. Even a Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal would meet their end regardless.
“Dam it. It looks like I’m really going to die here today.”
!!
“I guess even the great Chu Kuangren can’t change the tide in this battle against the Alternate Universe.”
Many of the Prodigies and sky-prides present had always been jealous of Chu Kuangren. After all, he was the one who took all their glory and limelight wherever he went. It was as if the heavens themselves favored him.
No matter how serious the predicament he was in, he would always resolve it effortlessly.
Back then, everyone thought of many ways to hinder his progress or even kill him. With him out of the picture, they would be the ones to bask in the spotlight.
After all, the constant feeling of being in his shadow was simply excruciating.
Yet, of all the times when their enemy could not turn the tide, it had to be the one when everyone’s lives were on the line.
Without a doubt, everyone at that point hoped that Chu Kuangren could turn the tide on the situation like he always did!
However, it truly seemed impossible by the looks of it.
“Oh, Chu Kuangren. If you can save us this time, I swear I’ll set up an altar in your name and ensure that the incense on that altar never stops burning.” One of the sky-prides prayed.
The other sky-prides also held on to that final string of hope for Chu Kuangren.
As the Kunlun Mirror’s power continued weakening, the void storm’s opposing force grew stronger, and the despair in everyone’s hearts grew.
It was as if everything was certainly going to end for them.
“It looks like we’re done for this time.”
“Having lived so long, is this where I’ll meet my end?”
Even the great ones could not help but shake their heads and lament.
However, an unimaginably powerful burst of spacetime energy suddenly erupted from the distance and spread in waves toward them.
Under the effect of the energy waves, the turbulence within the void storm gradually… stopped!
The void storm was so powerful that even a Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal was powerless against it, but the same void storm was now frozen. Everyone’s eyes and mouths opened wide with shock and disbelief.
“What’s happening? Where did this spacetime energy come from?”
“From the back.”
When everyone looked behind them, they saw a bright spot of light, where surges of overwhelming spacetime energy was spreading from.
“That’s… Chu Kuangren!”
Some of them could vaguely make out a person in white robes in the bright light, and that person could be no one else other than Chu Kuangren.
“It’s Chu Kuangren! This must be another trick up his sleeve!”
“He can really get us out of here!”
“I f*cking love you, Chu Kuangren!”
Everyone got excited. Some even could not help professing their love for him from afar.
However, the great ones still maintained their composure despite feeling shocked. They quickly yelled, “Everyone, quick! Follow the Kunlun Mirror!”
Whoosh!
The light of the Kunlun Mirror, which had dimmed and weakened considerably, immediately lit up with powerful Immortal Sparks the moment the void storm was frozen in place. Bringing everyone along, the mirror dashed into the distance!
Everyone soon made it past the void storm without trouble, arriving safely into the void.
Deep within the grey misty void, everyone was overjoyed to have escaped from their deathly fate. Looking at the void storm, which had returned to its turbulent state, fear crept up in their hearts.
However, one of the sky-prides could not help but ask, “Now that we’re out of here, what’s going to happen to Chu Kuangren?”
Everyone immediately froze upon hearing that.
‘That’s right… How is he planning to get out?’
“I believe Master will have a way to escape,” Lan Yu mumbled.
Inside the secret realm, Chu Kuangren channeled all his power into the Timespace Treasure, using it to affect the Void Annihilation Formation’s operation. After sensing that everyone has escaped the secret realm, he smiled.
As he looked at the Alternate Universe cultivators before him, he burst into laughter. “Hahaha! Just look at yourselves! Seeing the trap that you spent so much effort and time to set up being ruined, I bet all of you must be feeling great, huh?”
“You bast*rd!”
The Alternate Universe cultivators looked at Chu Kuangren with rage seeping from their eyes.
They had sacrificed their chance of survival just to lay out that trap, and now that Chu Kuangren had foiled their plans, how could they possibly not get angry?
“So what if you ruined our plan? As long as you die here, this battle won’t be a complete loss for us!” that Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal cultivator said coldly.
‘To think that this guy has two Chaos Supreme Treasures! The fact that someone like him exists is simply unbelievable.’
‘If left alive, he’ll surely become the Alternate Universe’s greatest enemy in the future. That’s why we have to get rid of a huge threat like him if he can. Then, our efforts here will not be in vain.’
“Oh? Do you think I’ll die? I’m afraid that might not be the case for me,” said Chu Kuangren as he kept the Timespace Treasure away.
The moment he did that, the endless void storm instantly swept toward him from all directions, swallowing the entire secret realm into nothingness.
Although he managed to affect the Void Annihilation Formation with the Timespace Treasure, it resulted in a large buildup of energy which began accumulating the moment it was frozen. With the Timespace Treasure’s influence gone, that energy erupted without restraint.
There was no way anyone could survive that huge energy blast.
Millions upon millions of the Alternate Universe’s armies were reduced to dust by the void storm.
The several Arch Gilded Immortal cultivators also could not escape the same fate.
Everything — Chu Kuangren included — was soon swallowed whole by the void storm and reduced to nothingness.
Meanwhile, inside the void, Lan Yu and the others were waiting for Chu Kuangren to come out from the Void Annihilation Formation. Everyone thought he must have some way to escape.
After all, if Chu Kuangren could save them, he must have no trouble saving himself.
Just as they were waiting, the endless void storm suddenly erupted as if something triggered it, and its explosive force was unimaginably terrifying.
Then, the terrifying energy storm collapsed into a black spot!
“What happened?”
“Has the Void Annihilation Formation disappeared?!”
Everyone was stunned.
However, the great ones present seemingly knew what was going to happen next, and their eyes widened with shock. “This is bad! Quick! Everyone, get out of here!”
At that very instant, the black spot formed by the collapse of the endless void storm exploded once more. As if it contained the energy of millions of stars, an inexplicable amount of energy was sent in all directions, and every part of the void hit by that energy shattered. Even the Deep Void was affected and torn apart!
The great ones brought everyone with them and fled from the void in horror.
Somewhere in the Immortal World, the great ones appeared with everyone else. The fear and shock of that explosion was still fresh in their minds.
“I don’t think words can be enough to describe how terrifying that energy explosion was. If anyone were to get hit by it, even an Embodier would be critically injured.”
“That’s right. That kind of energy is strong enough to erase a whole Dao from existence.”
The few great ones looked relieved.
Meanwhile, Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and the others stayed silent as they stared at the void.
‘Why hasn’t Chu Kuangren come out of the Void Annihilation Formation?’
‘What has happened to him now?’
Those were the questions on everyone’s minds.
“I don’t want to say this, but Brother Chu must have stayed behind in the Void Annihilation Formation to buy us some time to escape,” one of the great ones could not help but lament.
Everyone present turned silent upon hearing that.
Did Chu Kuangren sacrifice himself for them?
“Brother Chu, you’re a true hero!” Ye Zhu took a deep breath and uttered in sorrow.
The others could only look at each other with bitter smiles.
Knowing that the very same person they had treated as their greatest enemy and foe ended up sacrificing himself, saving them from dying in that formation, they felt nothing but shame right now!
Even the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist dared not speak ill of Chu Kuangren whatsoever at that moment.
