Xu Wu was the creator of the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe who once said that Chu Kuangren would be the most remarkable Celestial Demon cultivator in the future!
Hence, the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe was a gift he had prepared for Chu Kuangren.
One day, everyone in the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe would serve and obey Chu Kuangren as the Celestial Demon King!
“Xu Wu… So he created the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe and is planning to give it to me, huh? Is it because I possess the most top-tier Celestial Demon Physique in the whole Celestial Demon Tribe?” Chu Kuangren mumbled as he pondered.
He believed there was no such thing as free lunch in the universe. Normally, one would expect to put in an equivalent amount of effort to obtain anything one desires. That has been the law of nature since the dawn of time.
“Do you guys know Bei Ming?” Chu Kuangren asked.
Lin Qiu nodded. “Yes. Lord Bei Ming is one of the seven Celestial Demon Physique hosts and one of the most powerful beings in the universe.”
A look of admiration shone in her eyes.
As one of the seven Celestial Demon cultivators, Bei Ming was on the same level as their creator, Xu Wu. That was why every Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivator held him with great respect.
“I see.”
Chu Kuangren proceeded to ask a few more questions after that until suddenly, the jade scroll on Lin Qiu’s waist vibrated.
“It’s Ming Yifeng and the others. They’re coming here soon.”
Lin Qiu’s eyes lit up.
Ming Yifeng was also a Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivator.
Second only to Jue Wushen in strength, he was many times more powerful than Lin Qiu.
“He must have received our distress call and come to help.”
“However, isn’t he a little too late? If it weren’t for Brother Chu, we’d already be dead by now,” the two other Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivators said with slight dissatisfaction.
Lin Qiu, too, looked a little worried after receiving the message.
Ming Yifeng had an unruly and rebellious character, but everyone in the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe had gotten used to him. Besides Jue Wushen, he would never obey anyone else.
Even if it was Chu Kuangren, their future king, he could not care less.
“Why is he, of all people, coming to our aid? If he sees Brother Chu, there’s no telling what kind of conflict will arise. Sigh. I can only hope he’ll restrain himself then.” At that thought, Lin Qiu could not help but feel helpless about what was to come.
Soon, they met with the Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivators who had come to help.
There were a total of seven of them.
Everyone was standing in the air, emanating surges of powerful Celestial Demon qi. Some seemed injured, as if they had gone through a battle before arriving here.
The person leading them was dressed in long black robes and had a sharp gaze.
His Celestial Demon qi was more powerful than the other six combined. Any sky-pride passing by could not help but shudder in fear upon sensing it.
“This aura… He’s almost at Prodigy level now.”
“It looks like many more interesting people have popped up from the recently active Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe. Could it be that the slumbering Celestial Demon Tribe is starting to act?”
“Well, it’s not impossible.”
Everyone was engaged in discussions.
The seven cultivators of the Celestial Demon Tribe were always in hiding, rarely showing themselves to the universe.
Even most of the powerful Arch Gilded elites had only heard of them but had never seen them before.
However, the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe that recently appeared had been very active, especially Jue Wushen, who had made a big name for himself in the Interstellar Arena.
Lin Qiu and the others walked up to Ming Yifeng and his men.
“Are you guys hurt?”
Lin Qiu frowned, feeling a little surprised.
“On the way here, we encountered cultivators from the East Sovereign Immortal Hall’s Mountain Ghoul Tribe and had a battle with them,” Ming Yifeng said calmly.
“No wonder you guys are late. Why is the Mountain Ghoul Tribe repeatedly targeting us? I just can’t seem to understand their motive.”
Chu Kuangren, who was standing beside her, was stunned to hear the name Mountain Ghoul’s Divine Daoist.
‘This person has been attacking the Celestial Demon Tribe. I should keep an eye out for him.’
“Oh, it’s Chu Kuangren.”
Ming Yifeng was surprised to notice Chu Kuangren standing beside Lin Qiu.
“That’s right. It’s all thanks to Brother Chu that we managed to survive the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist’s attack.”
“The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist himself took action?”
Ming Yifeng’s eyes narrowed.
“His clone attacked.”
“So, it was only his clone, huh? In other words, he only defeated a clone.”
Ming Yifeng looked at Chu Kuangren with disappointment.
“It seems to me that he’s still far from Brother Wushen’s level.”
“Mind your manners, Ming Yifeng!” Angry, Lin Qiu shouted at Ming Yifeng.
“What’s the matter? As the future Celestial Demon King, is that all he can do?”
Ming Yifeng looked at Chu Kuangren provokingly.
However, Chu Kuangren grinned. “Is this how you treat your Celestial Demon King?”
“Chu Kuangren, you’re not officially crowned, so you’re not the true Celestial Demon King yet. Besides the seven Lords of the Celestial Demon Tribe, the only other person who deserves my respect is Brother Wushen. As for you, I’m sorry to say, but you’re still a nobody to me!” Ming Yifeng sneered.
“Ming Yifeng, stop this insolent behavior right now!” Lin Qiu shouted.
Chu Kuangren waved his hand and said, “It’s alright. It doesn’t matter to me whether he approves of me or not. I don’t like forcing things upon others after all.”
“Hmph. Nicely said, but no matter how you say it, you’re just weak.”
Ming Yifeng was getting increasingly out of hand.
Chu Kuangren remained expressionless as he looked at Ming Yifeng. “That is a very lousy attempt at provocation. However, I don’t mind giving you a taste of my strength.”
“Ha! Now that’s what I’m talking about!”
The corners of Ming Yifeng’s mouth curled up into a smirk as his eyes lit up. Then, his Celestial Demon qi instantly poured out, spreading in all directions.
At that scene, Li Qiu and the others were all helpless.
“Whatever. I might as well let Ming Yifeng suffer. After all, he asked for it.” Lin Qiu thought.
“My Celestial Demon Physique’s attribute is lightning! Now, watch carefully!”
Strands of Celestial Demon qi erupted from Ming Yifeng’s body, turning into countless terrifying lightning serpents in the void that charged toward Chu Kuangren.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless bolts of lightning landed and erupted on Chu Kuangren’s body in succession!
The surrounding terrain was immediately leveled from the power of that lightning, and everywhere within a thousand-kilometer radius was turned into a sea of lightning!
Startled by the attack, every cultivator in the area quickly channeled their Immortal Core energy to block it while they escaped.
However, Chu Kuangren, who was standing in the center of the sea of lightning, remained still. No matter how, the thousands of lightning bolts could not force him back a single step.
Ming Yifeng’s gaze gradually turned serious.
“Chu Kuangren, even the most top-tier sky-prides can’t handle this sea of lightning. But seeing that you’re unscathed, it seems you’re not as bad as I thought.”
“I suggest you use your full power right now because you’ll only have one chance to witness the power of the Celestial Demon King.”
Chu Kuangren stood with his hands behind his back as his white robes fluttered in the air.
Chu Kuangren’s words made Ming Yifeng narrow his eyes before a tremendous outpour of Celestial Demon qi erupted from his body. “Chaos Divine Lightning Seal!”
The Celestial Demon qi absorbed all the surrounding lightning and turned them into a huge ancient seal with countless Daoist patterns that came crashing down from the sky!
At that instant, the void crumbled while the realm split open!
In response, Celestial Demon qi also surged out from Chu Kuangren’s body. However, it was much more powerful than Ming Yifeng’s Celestial Demon qi.
The difference between them was day and night like they were comparing a king and a common subject!
Life and death intent flowed through the Celestial Demon qi, which soon turned into a Life and Death Symbol that covered the sky. With all its might, it crashed toward the lightning seal!
The moment the lightning seal collided with the Life and Death Symbol, the life and death intent clashed violently with the lightning while countless Daoist patterns intertwined and shattered!
Under the collision, the lightning seal shattered and started breaking apart into thousands of bolts of lightning!
“What?!”
