Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 1845
1845 Facing off Against Ye Zhu, It Looks Like the Heavenly Sword Is Not as Powerful As The Rumors Say
Inside the Void Battlefield, Chu Kuangren turned into a ray of light and ventured across many continents.
His goal was simple — it was to search for Opportunities of Fortune to ascend into the Embodier Realm.
Currently, his Arch Gilded Intent was at the Seventh Step, which was the peak of the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm. The next thing to do would be to consolidate his Arch Gilded Intent and condense it into Daoist laws. By doing so, he would merge with a part of the Great Dao, becoming an embodiment of Dao itself.
However, due to the unique properties of his Invincible Dao, there was no Great Dao in this universe suitable for him. Hence, he could only proceed by creating one himself.
An Embodiers was an embodiment of the Great Dao within their universes, unlike him, whose goal was to establish his own way of Dao.
!!
That would be an extremely arduous path to walk on. Due to that, Chu Kuangren needed to absorb every possible resource he could find to increase the odds of his success.
Suddenly, a continent appeared before Chu Kuangren’s view.
On the continent was a patch of light brimming with glints of treasure, and strands of mysterious Daoist law energy were swirling around it.
He stepped into that place, sensing the Daoist laws within.
“This is an Embodier Fragment!”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
Embodiers were cultivators who merged with a part of the Great Dao, obtaining the power of Daoist laws from it in return. After they died, those Daoist laws would not disperse. Instead, the Daoist laws would be scattered everywhere, carrying with them the Dao of those who perished.
That was how the Embodier Fragment came to be.
Those fragments could be used to help cultivators comprehend the Great Dao, so they were priceless.
“Perhaps I can manifest my own Dao by comprehending these Embodier Fragments.” Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
He then absorbed those fragments one by one into his body.
However, at that moment, a sword ray suddenly shot toward him from afar!
The sword ray locked onto Chu Kuangren with devastating might!
“Hmph.”
Chu Kuangren let out a low grunt but did not move. Instead, he released his aura.
His Immortal’s Core energy surged, instantly shattering the incoming sword qi!
“Oh, not bad.”
A young man dressed in green robes slowly approached.
Upon seeing who it was, an odd look appeared in Chu Kuangren’s eyes. It was because… he knew who that person was.
It was none other than… Ye Zhu, his close friend.
“Cultivator from the Central Heaven Universe, state your name now,” Ye Zhu said indifferently while holding his Green Lentils Sword.
A green ray of light was swirling in his eyes. His Green Leaf Sword Vision’s power was ready to be unleashed at any moment.
Several Pan Gu Universe cultivators appeared behind him, one after another.
They soon surrounded Chu Kuangren.
“Seeing that you have the guts to stand against the Heavens, your bravery is commendable,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Ye Zhu’s gaze froze a little upon hearing that. “You’re the best swordsman in Central Heaven Universe, the Heavenly Sword.”
The information that Chu Kuangren provided to Pan Gu Universe naturally included his persona as the Heavenly Sword.
Self-betrayal was something he was good at as well.
“Everyone, be careful. According to our intel, this person is incredibly powerful!”
“Do not let your guard down.”
Ye Zhu held his Green Lentils Sword and attacked first.
He slashed forward with his sword, unleashing a terrifying surge of sword qi.
He immediately attacked with one of the Immortal Destruction Sword Qi’s powerful forms. However, Chu Kuangren did not move in the face of that attack. He just casually swiped his sword hand sign in the air.
Boom!
The sword qi that Ye Zhu unleashed was instantly dispersed!
“You’re too weak.” Chu Kuangren stood with his hands behind his back and said apathetically.
“Let’s attack together!”
The rest of the Pan Gu Universe cultivators charged toward Chu Kuangren one after another.
Each of them unleashed their ultimate techniques at him.
A barrage of Immortal Techniques and divine abilities erupted at once.
However, Chu Kuangren merely stood still. With an exquisite and remarkable display of sword techniques, he dispelled everyone’s attack without much effort.
After a few bouts of fighting, no one could even injure him.
Similarly, Ye Zhu and the others did not suffer many injuries too.
Ye Zhu started to feel a little weird about it.
“The fact that he can nullify all of our attacks with a few simple moves means that his combat strength is incredibly powerful. However, why does it seem that he’s holding back?”
“Doesn’t he want to kill us?”
That very thought suddenly popped into Ye Zhu’s mind.
He, too, found it absurd. After all, he had no relations with the Heavenly Sword, so why would his opponent hold back against him?
Could it be some reason that he did not know?
The more Ye Zhu thought about it, the stranger he found it.
Nevertheless, he channeled his sword qi and was prepared to launch the Immortal Destruction Sword Qi’s final form.
If that attack could not defeat Chu Kuangren, he would retreat.
However, at that moment, a blood-colored light beam suddenly erupted behind him!
That blood-colored light beam immediately wiped out dozens of sky-prides.
A blood-colored figure leaped into the battlefield. He was holding a blood-soaked long saber emanating a surge of bloodthirst.
A glint flashed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes when he saw who it was. “Oh, it’s him.”
The one who arrived was none other than Chi Shenyu, the cultivator who suggested competing to see who could kill the most Pan Gu Universe sky-prides earlier. He, too, had come here.
He raised his saber, unleashing a blood-colored saber ray from it.
Everywhere that saber ray went, no one could resist it.
Ye Zhu attacked angrily. “Immortal Destruction!”
His sword qi burst forward with great momentum.
Even Chi Shenyu could not help but put up a serious expression.
He let out a low grunt, channeled his power to the max, and unleashed a similar saber ray surging with a destructive aura.
The moment the saber ray and sword qi collided, an explosion erupted in the surroundings.
“What are you standing there for, Heavenly Sword? Let’s leave!” Chi Shenyu said loudly.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren had a strange look in his eyes.
‘Is he… trying to save me?’
‘Interesting.’
He did not stay long and immediately disappeared in a flash.
Truth be told, he could have left earlier. However, because he wanted to see how much Ye Zhu had improved over the years, he let the battle go on a little longer just now.
Chi Shenyu also did not stay for long after seeing Chu Kuangren leave.
“Haha, playtime’s over. Time for me to leave.”
Following Chu Kuangren’s departure, Chi Shenyu also disappeared in a flash.
Everyone was fuming with rage.
“Damn it! The two of them have escaped.”
“The Central Heaven Universe’s Prodigies can’t be underestimated.”
“Hmph, what’s so great about them? Our intel described the Heavenly Sword to be as powerful as a god, but he just seems so ordinary.”
“That’s right. I’m sure he’s no match for Chu Kuangren.”
“Yeah.”
Everyone was engaged in a discussion.
Ye Zhu, however, was deep in thought.
‘That Heavenly Sword… is a little strange.’
Most importantly, Ye Zhu sensed a familiar feeling from him.
For some reason, he could not even feel any animosity toward the Heavenly Sword.
‘What’s going on?’
Ye Zhu shook his head and put away that thought. He looked toward the direction where Chu Kuangren left with a battle intent in his eyes. “Heavenly Sword, I shall look forward to the next time we fight!”
…
On a certain continent inside the void, Chu Kuangren stopped.
Chi Shenyu, who was following him, soon came from behind. Chi Shenyu looked at him and asked. “Heavenly Sword, are you alright?”
Chu Kuangren looked at him. “I’m alright.”
“If not for me, you would’ve been in great danger. To think that such a powerful sword cultivator exists in Pan Gu Universe, it’s truly surprising,” Chi Shenyu said.
Then, the tone of his voice changed. “You obtained quite a lot of Embodier Fragments on that continent earlier, right?”
“So what if I have?”
“Well, no matter what, I was the one who saved you earlier. It shouldn’t be much for you to give me some of those fragments, right? I don’t need much. Only seventy percent of what you have, that’s all.”
It was then that Chu Kuangren understood Chi Shenyu’s true intention.
“What if the Heavens disagree?”
“Oh, I hope you can reconsider, Heavenly Sword.” Chui Shenyu chuckled.
Several Prodigies soon appeared behind him and surrounded Chu Kuangren, who looked at them and noticed that he had not seen them before.
He had never seen any of them in the Central Heaven Temple either.
‘Are these the ancient Prodigies who were in deep slumber back at the Dao King Tribe?’
“It looks like the Heavenly Sword isn’t as powerful as the rumors say. He can’t even defeat some small fry from the Pan Gu Universe.”
One of the Prodigies snorted. It was obvious that they had seen Chu Kuangren’s battle against Ye Zhu and the others.
