Since Chu Kuangren possessed the Timespace Treasure, he was already an expert in Spacetime Dao. He usually used it to travel across the universe like teleportation and barely used it in actual combat.
It was not because he did not know how to use it for combat. He just did not need it.
After all, amongst all the opponents he faced, those who were on the same level as him could not even withstand a single attack from him. Hence, there was no need to activate the Spacetime Dao at all.
However, using it to stop people from running proved to be effective.
When he used the spacetime energy to stop the time in the area, all the sky-prides caught within felt like the stars were weighing on them, stopping their movements.
A second after that, Chu Kuangren made his move. With his sword hand sign pointed out, his Immortal’s Core energy activated, and a myriad of sword qi transformed into violet lotuses around him.
The blooming lotuses turned the place into a sea of violet lotus, painting the scene with exquisite color.
However, in contrast to the beautiful lotuses, a terrifying scene unfolded.
Wherever the sword qi reached, nothing lived.
All the sky-prides were cut and slashed to death.
As soon as Chu Kuangren retracted his spacetime energy, a massive amount of blood and broken limbs flew into the sky, painting the whole place red.
Chu Kuangren had killed more than a hundred sky-prides with a single slash!
Those who witnessed the gory scene widened their eyes in horror.
After all, most of those sky-prides were Immortals, and yet they were killed in a single slash from Chu Kuangren.
That included Lin Yan and Yuan Xu, who were rather well-known among the sky-prides for being the Fated Ones.
“Monster!”
“He’s a monster!”
Everyone who laid eyes on Chu Kuangren trembled in fear.
“Chu Kuangren! You will die!”
A furious shout came from the void. Earthen Immortals then emerged one after another and surrounded him. They were the elders from the Lin clan, Divine Dragon Island, and Holy Judgement Sect.
All their Fated Ones and sky-prides had been murdered just like that.
It was a huge blow to their orthodoxy. In fact, it was too much. It felt like a giant sword had stabbed their hearts.
They wished they could rip Chu Kuangren apart and skin him alive.
“Ridiculous!”
“You people said that the younger generations should settle their issues among themselves, and yet here all of you are!” the Eldest Master from the academy shouted.
There was also a cold look on the Jade Clarity Immortal Sect’s elder’s face.
The Earthen Immortals reacted bitterly until the crimson-haired Dragon Immortal from Divine Dragon Island said, “This is no longer just a matter involving the younger generations. Chu Kuangren is too brutal, and it’s frightening.”
Those who heard the Immortal secretly called him shameless.
The Golden Dragon Young Master and the others tried to kill Lan Yu, Shang Honghua, and Gu Liufang, and no one said a word. Yet now, the Immortals were coming out to blame Chu Kuangren for what he did.
It was considered double standard, even for a dragon!
“Hmph.”
Chu Kuangren scoffed. “It seems like I haven’t killed enough of Divine Dragon Island. Is that right?”
At that, he took a step forward, appearing right before the crimson-haired Dragon Immortal.
He threw a punch and the crimson-haired Dragon Immortal responded with a furious punch of himself.
When the two fists collided, the look on the crimson-haired Dragon Immortal’s face turned pale.
A boundless surge of energy enveloped the crimson-haired Dragon Immortal, and the terrifying punch blast ripped his dragon claw to shreds before blasting his whole body into pieces.
All the others saw was the crimson-haired Dragon Immortal bursting into a cloud of blood.
Chu Kuangren had killed an Earthen Immortal with a single punch!
“If you guys are here for my life, I don’t mind taking yours too,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
Since he was back, he ought to put his strength on display.
He wanted everyone in Planquilon Immortal World to know who the invincible one was and why they could not afford to offend him.
He wanted the whole Planquilon Immortal World to tremble in his presence!
“What?!”
“What a terrifying punch blast!”
The Earthen Immortals were shocked. Then, without further ado, they all attacked tacitly and unleashed all kinds of Immortal Techniques at Chu Kuangren.
As the Immortal Techniques unleashed, Immortal Sparks glimmered brightly.
All kinds of energy fluctuations erupted, and Daoist patterns intertwined.
The entire void was painted with a colorful palette, but despite being in the center of all those attacks, Chu Kuangren remained calm.
“It has been years since I came back, and I think it’s time to let you people remember what kind of person I, Chu Kuangren, am,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
Against the barrage of attacks, his body was like an immovable divine mountain in ancient times.
All the energy blasts and attacks struck him, but none was able to inflict any damage.
His body had become so tensile that not even an Earthen Immortal could damage it anymore.
“How is this even possible?”
“Is his body made out of Immortal Metal?!”
The Earthen Immortals were, once again, shocked, and fear overflowed from their anxious gaze. They had never heard that Chu Kuangren’s body was so strong.
Then, something even more astonishing happened.
Chu Kuangren’s energy surged.
Third-grade Immortal, Fifth-grade Immortal, Ninth-grade Immortal… Earthen Immortal!
Everyone gasped in shock.
“It’s impossible! It has only been a few years since he became an Immortal, and he has already reached the ranks of an Earthen Immortal!”
“This speed is impossible!”
After all, a common Immortal had to go through the mill to break through to one grade, let alone break through to an Earthen Immortal.
Even the Sword Crown, someone who was crowned as the genius in Sword Dao, had to spend millions of years to become an Earthen Immortal.
However, Chu Kuangren break through from a common Immortal to an Earthen Immortalt in just a few years!
Chu Kuangren did not stop even after he revealed his Earthen Immortal aura. Quite the opposite, the mountains started to shake as the earth qi from a hundred million kilometers started to gather toward him.
First-grade Earthen Immortal, Second-grade Earthen Immortal, Third-grade Earthen Immortal…
Chu Kuangren’s cultivation level finally stopped at the Perfected Lower Third-grade Earthen Immortal and was only a step shy of reaching the Middle Third-grade Earthen Immortal.
Despite that, the earth qi he controlled was far beyond what a common Lower Third-grade Earthen Immortal could control.
All the other Earthen Immortals were stunned.
The inconceivable speed of improvement, controlling earth qi that surpassed his realm… How much further could he surprise them?
“Everyone, use your trump card now!” shouted one of the Earthen Immortals.
Chu Kuangrenwas so powerful that all the other Earthen Immortals had never felt so threatened before. They were forced to utilize their trump cards.
Some of them used secret techniques to raise their cultivation level, some armed themselves with Immortal Weapons, some used runes, and some resolved to pills.
However…
“Are they enough?” Chu Kuangren’s voice sounded.
As soon as he raised his hand, Celestial Demon qi gushed out immediately. He had white light swirling around his left hand and black flames burning on his right, emanating a destructive presence. Then, he put his hands together and twisted them to form a mystical stamp.
Black and white, life and death — both contrasting elements converged at that moment and formed a massive, spinning Yin Yang symbol that covered heaven and earth.
“Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol.”
His voice echoed, followed by boundless energy erupting from the Yin Yang symbol. The Earthen Immortals who used their trump cards exploded one after another in the face of the symbol. They could not even control their own death before absolute power.
After the Yin Yang symbol destroyed all the Earthen Immortals, all that was left was dead silence.
Everyone stared at the man standing in the air as if he was a god and demon, and it felt surreal.
One slash killed a bunch of sky-prides, and one move killed all the Earthen Immortals.
Was that the power that a young sky-pride should possess?
“His return to Planquilon Immortal World shall turn the world upside down,” mumbled one of the surviving sky-prides with fear in his eyes.
