Chapter 1039 If I Don’t Allow It, Who Dares To Reign Supreme, The Might Of One Slash
Millions of warships were scattered across nine defense lines outside the Bronze Heavenly Hall, and each defense line had a powerful Immortal guarding it. With such military forces up and running, even if the strongest Immortals of Jade Emperor Galaxy teamed up, they might not be able to break through all the defense lines.
Further away in the stars, countless cultivators gathered to watch the upcoming battle.
All the famous and well-known orthodoxies of Jade Emperor Galaxy were present. Everyone was curious as to how powerful Chu Kuangren was to challenge Bronze Heavenly Hall.
“I heard Chu Kuangren is ridiculously powerful. The top Sword Immortal, Zhao Wujing, could not even withstand a single move from him.”
“Really? He’s that powerful?”
“A lot of the Heavenly Yokai Planet’s Yokai Tribes witnessed it with their own eyes. It’s true. Besides, since Bronze Heavenly Hall has reacted by setting up this scale of troops, it means that they, too, take this challenge seriously.”
“Hah! Even if Chu Kuangren is stronger than Zhao Wujing, what can he do in front of the forces of Bronze Heavenly Hall? He is destined to lose.”
“Exactly.”
The discussions were heated.
Quite a number of them did not place their bets on Chu Kuangren.
Amidst all anticipation, warships zipped over one after another. The warships were ferrying almost all the Yokai Tribes.
On the leading warship were the Fox Tribe and Gu Wuqing in the company of the Gu clan survivors.
“The Yokai Tribe, and the survivors of the Gu clan, I did not expect you to rely on an outsider who is unknown in this corner of the galaxy and start a war with us, the Bronze Heavenly Hall. This is suicidal,” said a white-robed elderly.
Gu Wuqing said, “Master said he is here for the higher-ups of Bronze Heavenly Hall only. The others who surrender will be spared. Do you wish to surrender?”
The white-robed elderly cackled in laughter upon hearing his words. “Are you out of your mind, bastards? Look at this! We have millions of warships and countless Heavenly soldiers on our side!
“Aside from the Immortals in each of the defense lines, the Grand Marshal and His Majesty are unparalleled beings of Jade Emperor Galaxy who has been reigning supreme for so long.
“Look at you! A few warships and a handful of Immortals? We Bronze Heavenly Hall reign over this universe. We shall not be moved by some ragtag groups of Yokai,” the white-robed elderly bellowed.
Terrifying Immortal energy then erupted and swept across all directions, shaking even the stars.
The countless Heavenly soldiers in the warships behind him did the same.
They wore an unyielding pride on their faces as they showed contempt for Gu Wuqing and the others.
However, just as the white-robbed elderly’s energy filled the stars, another even more terrifying energy appeared suddenly and overpowered the former.
“Reign supreme in this universe? Without my permission, who dares reign in this universe of many worlds?!”
A cold voice echoed among the stars accompanied by vast Immortal’s Core energy fluctuation that crashed on the stars like a violent tide.
In the blink of an eye, the white-robed elderly’s energy was overpowered, and all the soldiers were shocked.
They suddenly felt immense pressure, as though there was a massive mountain on their shoulders that could crush them at any
moment.
Some weaker soldiers even got down on their knees.
“This energy…”
Those who came to watch could not help but quiver before the presence. The look on their faces was grimmer than ever.
Then, a man in white clothes came out of the Yokai Tribe’s leading warship. His dark hair reached his waist, his eyes were as cold as the coldest star, and each move he made had a transcendent feeling to it.
He sauntered forward calmly, but with each step he took, the terrifying pressure that enveloped this part of the galaxy got stronger. Every step felt like a stomp on the people’s hearts, causing their hearts to beat faster than ever.
Further away in the huge hall of Bronze Heavenly Hall, a middle-aged man in bronze armor widened his eyes in shock in Chu Kuangren’s direction. His sight could travel billions of kilometers through the void and traverse across the stars, allowing him to see the figure in white with his own eyes.
“Chu Kuangren, you’re something else. He’s indeed stronger than the Gu clan’s Forefather back then, and he is worthy to be considered an opponent of Bronze Heavenly Hall. However, even you have to spend quite some time to break through all nine defense lines that I’ve set up. When you finally get to me, how much strength would you have left?” the middle-aged man, or the Grand Marshal, said calmly.
He was rather confident in the upcoming battle.
In order to be prepared against Chu Kuangren, he had set up nine heavy defense lines with offensive formations. He even mobilized a large number of men to ensure that once those offensive formations were activated, none would be able to escape unscathed, not even himself.
No matter how strong Chu Kuangren was, he ought to be seriously injured.
At least that was what the Grand Marshal thought.
Meanwhile, at the first defense line, Chu Kuangren’s appearance and the terrifying energy he released left everyone horrified and baffled.
Gu Wuqing cupped his hands into a fist salute and greeted him. “Master.”
“Greetings, Master.”
The others saluted with a solemn bow and addressed Chu Kuangren as Master, just like Gu Wuqing.
Chu Kuangren nodded as he stood in the air, gazing upon the countless warships and the soldiers before him.
He said, “Last chance. Those who surrender will be spared, and those who insist on resistance will bear the consequences.”
“So I reckon you must be Chu Kuangren. Your strength and demeanor really live up to your name, but no matter how strong you are, you are destined to die under the bombardment of a million warships!”
“Charge!” bellowed the white-robed elderly.
At that moment, the warships started to release energy one after another, and beams of energy rays rained down on Chu Kuangren.
The countless beams of energy rays shrouded even the brightest star, but Chu Kuangren ignored them.
“It seems like you people have made the worst choice possible.”
With countless energy rays raining down on him, he put his sword hand sign up, and his Immortal’s Core energy erupted from inside his body.
The energy then formed a giant violet sword shadow that shot up.
The giant sword shadow had countless sword qi circulating it, forming a terrifying sword qi tornado. Before the sword shadow swung down, the tornado of sword qi had already wreaked havoc across tens of millions of kilometers, crushing countless energy rays.
Everyone was astonished at the scene.
“W-What kind of power is this?”
“These are just some scattered sword qi, and they easily mitigated all the attacks from the warships? What realm of an Immortal is his?!”
“How terrifying!”
Those who came to watch quivered violently before the absolute power.
They could not imagine how powerful the strike would be if he were to swing the sword down. How much destruction would a single slash cause?
It was the kind of strength that they yearned for.
“Strike!” Chu Kuangren shouted and swung his sword hand sign at the void.
The terrifying sword shadow fell, and wherever the tip of the sword passed by, the void was shredded. The sword qi evolved into a spatial typhoon that swept across the stars.
“Block it!” the white-robed elderly shouted furiously. He channeled his Immortal’s Core energy to the limit, but he was still too weak before the sword qi.
The moment the sword qi reached him, he fell.
Not only him but all the struck-down warships and soldiers were also turned into scraps and corpses that floated in the air.
Countless cultivators died before they knew what was happening.
The first defense line broke just like that, and it was just the start.
The sword shadow’s momentum remained strong after destroying the first defense line. Surpassing everyone’s expectations, it went straight to the next defense line.
