Seeing that it would take some time for Lan Yu and others to leave the closed-door meditation, Chu Kuangren took out the Nine-leaf Soul Herb and planned to refine the Immortal Herb too.
The Nine-leaf Soul Herb, plus the Eighteen-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement, strengthened Chu Kuangren’s soul continuously.
At the same time, the Gold Trait in his soul also got stronger.
Although it had not broken through to the Tenth Cycle, the Gold Trait of the three major souls was now several times stronger than before.
“Well, not bad.” Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.
Then, he took out Fantasy Roulette.
“Congratulations, Host! You’ve won a God-tier item, the Spacetime Sealing Technique!”
The roulette’s notification chime sounded.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
Spacetime Sealing Technique!
A spacetime-based Immortal Technique!
It was a rare Immortal Technique. After all, far fewer cultivators cultivated the Spacetime Dao than cultivators with other attributes.
With that, Chu Kuangren withdrew the Immortal Technique.
As a lot of information flooded his mind, he mastered the Immortal Technique almost effortlessly.
“I see…”
There was a hint of surprise in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
As the name suggested, the Spacetime Sealing Technique was an Immortal Technique that sealed space and time, similar to the divine ability to pause time but more mysterious.
Chu Kuangren raised his hand.
Countless mysterious Daoist patterns spread from him as the center, and they contained incomparably dense space-time energy.
Then, the wind, airflow, and everything around Chu Kuangren became still. Even some dead souls moving in the distance were frozen in place, with the same expressions on their faces as before.
They were like puppets.
Only Heavenly Immortal-level dead souls like the armored dead soul could sense some changes and resist the spacetime energy’s invasion with death qi. However, their consciousness and body were greatly affected.
At that moment, everything fell into silence.
Time and space seemed static.
However, the spacetime energy came and went off quickly.
In an instant, it was gone.
Those low-level dead souls did not feel anything, and as if nothing had happened, they continued about their lives.
However, those Heavenly Immortal-level dead souls could not help but kneel on the ground facing the Imperial Palace and tremble all over. They were terrified.
‘The strength… comes from inside the Imperial Palace.’
‘It’s the Ghost Emperor!’
‘What has he done?’
The feeling of not having control, as though even their senses had been stripped away, was terrifying. Spacetime energy like that was extremely powerful.
“Keep doing your things.”
Chu Kuangren’s voice sounded in the ears of the armored dead soul and other dead souls.
“Yes, Ghost Emperor.”
The dead souls continued to guard the Imperial Palace.
Chu Kuangren could sense the Immortal’s Core consumption in his body. He had consumed about one-thirtieth of his Immortal’s Core, which was more than casting the Enchanted Sleeve ten times. That meant that the Spacetime Sealing Technique had a higher level than the Enchanted Sleeve.
‘Is this a top-notched Arch Gilded Immortal Technique?’
‘Perhaps it’s above it.’
‘An Embodier Immortal Technique?!’
If it were not for a Transcendent-tier spacetime treasure like the Timespace Treasure Chu Kuangren possessed, he probably could not cast such an Immortal Technique.
Moreover, even if he could cast it, the power would be far from the limit of the Spacetime Sealing Technique.
“Hah! This can be considered as my trump card.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Boom!
At that moment, a powerful Immortal’s Core erupted outside the Imperial Palace!
The Immortal’s Core contained holy energy.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up. “Lan Yu has broken through!”
Inside the palace, Lan Yu opened her eyes and sensed her Immortal’s Core strength, which was more than ten times stronger than it was before. Then, she smiled. “I’ve finally broken through to a Heavenly Immortal, and my War Immortal Physique has reached the supreme level.”
Radiant War Immortal Physique was the Supreme Daoist Physique of the Winged Human Tribe.
Instead of being fixed, that physique could evolve.
If it evolved to the Prominent grade, it would be as mighty as the Ten Honorable Supreme Physiques.
However, the Prominent-grade War Immortal Physique had only appeared once or twice in the history of the Winged Human Tribe, which was very rare.
Lan Yu knew that being able to evolve to such a level was already her limit. Without more Opportunities of Fortune, she probably would not make much progress anymore.
After Lan Yu had broken through, Lil Fox and Chu Hong also showed improvement.
One had ascended to an Eighth-grade Earthen Immortal, while the other had ascended to a Great Perfected Ninth-grade Earthen Immortal. They were only half a step away from breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal and would be considered pretty outstanding if they were to stand among Heavenly Champions.
“It’s time to deal with the matter here.”
Chu Kuangren walked out of the Imperial Palace.
The armored dead soul and other dead souls greeted him.
“Well, I plan to send you all to the Yin Space. Over there, someone will pick you all up and arrange some tasks for you all. You’ll be reincarnated or given an advanced Ghost Dao cultivation technique if you behave well,” said Chu Kuangren.
“We shall follow your orders, Ghost Emperor.”
“Great.”
Chu Kuangren jumped into the air. As he raised his hand, tons of samsara power gushed out and impacted the void frantically.
Boom, boom!
The void shook.
Suddenly, two gigantic stone pillars emerged between heaven and earth.
One was engraved with various Ashura, ghouls, and yasha, while the other was engraved with various Yin soldiers and Underworld gods.
An ancient, majestic aura permeated the realm.
The two sides of the stone pillars were divided into two worlds.
One was the Yang Human World, while the other was the Yin Ghost World!
On the two stone pillars, two giant gray characters emerged — Hell’s Gate.
“Enter the gate,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
The armored dead soul and other dead souls said their goodbyes to Chu Kuangren before they dashed into Hell’s Gate and entered Fengdu Underworld City.
Countless cultivators gathered outside Fengdu City.
Everyone looked at the Hell’s Gate that towered over the universe, spanning the Yin Yang World, in horror. They were shaken, to say the least.
“Is this the rumored Hell’s Gate that connects the Yin Yang World and extradites the souls of the dead? It is indeed scary!”
“Apparently, the Yin Space’s Ghost Emperor, Yanluo, can freely travel between the Yin Yang World by using the Hell’s Gate. He can even utilize Hell’s Gate to attract millions of Yin soldiers. It’s terrifying.”
“Chu Kuangren has the demeanor of the ancient Ghost Emperor.”
The crowd was engaged in a discussion.
The Chakra’s successor also saw Hell’s Gate, and his face was slightly gloomy. “I can only make the Hell’s Gate form a whirlpool at most, but he can make the entire Hell’s Gate emerge!”
“Is this the power of the Fengdu Ghost Emperor?”
Fengdu had Ghost Emperors of the Five Elements, whereas the Yincao had the Ten Hellion Temple Kings.
Within the Yin Space, they all had equivalent statuses.
However, the Chakra’s successor was only one of the Ten Hellion Temple Kings, and he was merely a successor. However, Chu Kuangren was already a real Ghost Emperor in charge of two Emperor Seals!
His cultivation might not be sufficient, but he was powerful.
None of the Ten Hellion Temple’s successors could compare to Chu Kuangren’s strength.
Countless dead souls dashed into Hell’s Gate.
Shortly after, the Hell’s Gate fell from the sky and smashed on top of Fengdu Underworld City. A large amount of samsara power wrapped itself onto Fengdu’s fragment. After that, the earth split into a pitch-black abyss, engulfing Fengdu’s fragment whole.
In the blink of an eye, Fengdu Underworld City disappeared with the Hell’s Gate in front of everyone.
“He has brought the Fengdu Underworld City back to the Yin Space!”
Everyone’s eyes lit up. At first, they were worried that they could not handle Chu Kuangren as he was in the Fengdu Underworld City with the Emperor Seals and had the blessing of the Underworld.
Hence, those who planned to deal with Chu Kuangren remained outside Fengdu, observing and waiting for him to come out.
Unexpectedly, he returned Fengdu to the Yin Space.
“Well, you all should have no scruples now,” Chu Kuangren said while looking at the crowd.
As he took a step forward, his Immortal’s Core surged, and his body radiated with Immortal Sparks. Then, he looked down at the crowd. “Who would like to come forward first? Perhaps all of you can come together!”
