Meanwhile, on Firmament Star, all the others stared blankly at the arriving warships and the Yokai Tribes cultivators that they ferried. They were overwhelmed by the scene.
Chu Kuangren told them there would be reinforcements coming, and they thought it might be some Pseudo-Immortal. If it was any better, the reinforcement might even be an Immortal.
However, who could have thought they would welcome the arrival of not one, not two but a whole group of Immortals?
“What has the King been doing out there all these years? How did he get so many Immortals to come? It’s amazing!”
“As expected of the King.”
“We are going to win this!”
The Sword Daoist Celestial, Transcendental Daoist Celestial, and the others were unusually excited.
Back in space, Immortal Iron Saber and Immortal Qing Song exchanged a quick look before they flew further away to escape the scene.
“Oh, trying to run, are we?”
Immortal Hao Feng narrowed his eyes and reached his hand out. A tremendous amount of Earthen Immortal’s Core energy erupted and transformed into a gigantic hand.
The terrifying aura locked on to the two fleeing Immortals.
Immortal Iron Saber unleashed a furious strike, trying to resist being apprehended. However, his powers were too weak before an Earthen Immortal.
His strike did nothing, and he was crushed by the gigantic Immortal’s Core hand, squashing him into a cloud of blood mist.
Immortal Qing Song was horrified by the scene. His face turned pale, and without another word, his body disintegrated into a cloud of bloody mist. However, amidst the bloody mists, tens of thousands of blood-colored rays scattered away.
“Oh, is this some kind of fleeing technique?” Immortal Hao Feng was slightly surprised.
He could sense that each of the tens of thousands of blood-colored rays contained a trace of Immortal Qing Song’s consciousness.
He reached out to the blood-colored with his Immortal’s Core energy and stopped most of them from fleeing. Nevertheless, some managed to slip away.
“Lucky dog.” Immortal Hao Feng grunted in dissatisfaction.
He had just broken through to the Earthen Immortal Realm and had yet to completely master his newfound powers. Otherwise, Immortal Qing Song would not have escaped.
“Well then, all that’s left are these people.”
Immortal Hao Feng looked at the troops Immortal Qing Song had left behind.
The others already knew what was going on without him having to say anything. They, too, launched their final attack on the troops.
Following the fall of the two Immortals, the troops’ morale collapsed, and they lost the will to battle. Since Gu Wuqing and the others were also far stronger than them, the troops were all killed in a while.
Then, Gu Wuqing and the others entered Firmament Star.
When they laid eyes on the Daoist Celestial and sensed the cultivation level of the planet, they were very impressed.
“I can’t believe a cultivation civilization that doesn’t even have an Immortal has given birth to someone as astounding as the Master.”
“It’s unbelievable.”
“Even though this cultivation civilization isn’t considered strong now, the Heavenly Dao in the stars was surprisingly strong. With the Master’s guidance, I believe that, in time, Firmament Star will rise to the top among all the billion civilizations out there.”
“That’s right. The growth potential is high.”
Gu Wuqing and the others shared the same thought.
It was then Gu Linglong and the others came to welcome them.
“Did the King request for you to come to our assistance?” the Transcendental Daoist Celestial asked reluctantly.
At that question, Gu Wuqing quickly explained, “It’s the Master’s order, and we dare not disobey. There is no need for him to ask or request for our assistance as it is the right thing to do.”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial and the others could not believe what they heard.
They could tell that Gu Wuqing and the others obeyed Chu Kuangren wholeheartedly.
It was difficult for Transcendental Daoist Celestial and the others to imagine that it had only been a few years since Chu Kuangren left Firmament Star as a mere Daoist Celestial, and now he had achieved many great things.
How powerful had he become?
“The King, has he become an Immortal?” the Transcendental Daoist Celestial asked curiously.
“Of course.” Gu Wuqing smiled plainly. In fact, not only had Chu Kuangren become an Immortal, but he had even turned the entire Planquilon Immortal World upside down.
“Hahaha, great. That’s great to hear.” The Transcendental Daoist Celestial cackled in laughter.
To him, the most important thing for a civilization to strengthen its position among the stars was to have its own Immortal.
Now, hearing that Chu Kuangren was an Immortal, the news excited him more than anything.
“This is great!”
“I knew he’d make it!”
Daoist Celestial Luo Shui, the Chaos Daoist Celestial, and the others were over the moon as well.
“You guys must have traveled far to get here. I bet it must be tiring. I have told the men to prepare a feast to welcome your arrival,” Gu Linglong said.
“Thank you.”
…
Among the stars of Violet Gold Galaxy, a blood-colored ray arrived and converged into an elderly.
It was Immortal Qing Song, who had just escaped from Immortal Hao Feng.
He was at his weakest at the moment, with almost no Immortal powers, not even one of a thousandth of his prime.
“D*mn it! D*mn it! How could this happen? Where did that tiny Firmament Star get so many Immortals to their aid?” Immortal Qing Feng was both furious and baffled.
A cultivation civilization, which had never given birth to any Immortal, suddenly had a bunch of Immortals to their aid. It was inconceivable.
“They came on their Master’s order? Who’s their master?”
Despite having no answers to all his questions, he could notice and confirm that Firmament Star had very powerful support behind them.
“So what if they have powerful support? In this universe, no support is stronger than our Heavenly Dao Sect. This defeat has damaged my Immortal body, Immortal’s Core, and even my Immortal Consciousness. I won’t let this go this easily. It seems like I have to ask for the Daoist’s help,” Immortal Qing Song mumbled.
However, Heavenly Daoist Kun was too far away from Violet Gold Galaxy, and it would take a long time for him to reach here.
“I can only use the Heavenly Daoist Projection to summon the Daoist’s clone. It might not be as powerful as his real self, but it should be enough to deal with those bastards. However, in order to use this technique, I must first use the Heavenly Dao as a catalyst and offer a massive amount of lifeforce as sacrifice…”
Immortal Qing Song stared at a Living Planet, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
“I’ll take that planet as the sacrifice to summon the Daoist’s clone.”
After Immortal Qing Song was almost recovered, he flew towards the Living Planet like the devil bringing an apocalypse.
…
Back at Jade Emperor Galaxy, all that was left of the star was a planet-size fireball.
It was on this day that the fireball imploded in the air, and a massive amount of flame was devoured.
A fiery figure stood in space, emanating massive heat and strong light that shone across planets and stars, shaking even the universe.
The sudden change of the star attracted the attention of many cultivators, and they could not help but stare at the fiery figure with a grave look in their eyes.
“He has come out of closed-door meditation.”
“I did not expect that he’d swallow an entire star. How terrifying.”
Amid the crown’s gaze, the fire on the figure slowly extinguished to reveal his white robes — it was Chu Kuangren.
His skin was as far as white jade, and Immortal Sparks surrounded him. His blood flowed like the strongest torrent, and every piece of flesh, muscle, and bone was imbued with mystical Daoist patterns.
He looked and felt indomitable.
“I have finally perfected my Stellar Undying Physique1!” Chu Kuangren grinned happily.
He simply threw a punch into the void without using any kind of energy.
For a moment there, a violent storm ravaged the stars, and several planets further away were destroyed by the wind from the punch.
