Within the depths of Terraspirit Planet, inside the planet’s Stellar Source, Chu Kuangren was surprised when he noticed the vast celestial energy everywhere.
“Interesting. With this much celestial energy, I can use it to improve my Stellar Undying Body.”
He chuckled and then released Lan Yu from his Enchanted Sleeve.
Lan Yu was shocked upon noticing the celestial energy in her surroundings.
“Is this the planet’s Stellar Source? If I can cultivate here, I believe my progress will be dozens of times better compared to doing it outside.”
“This area is brimming with celestial energy. Let’s cultivate here,” said Chu Kuangren as he waved his sleeves. Then, a golden ray of light shot out from his sleeve.
It was his clone.
With his clone standing guard, both he and Lan Yu could now focus on their cultivation inside the Stellar Source.
When they arrived at the depths of the Stellar Source, Chu Kuangren activated his Stellar Undying Body, absorbing the surrounding celestial energy into his body. Slowly and steadily, his Stellar Undying Body began to strengthen.
Meanwhile, Lan Yu found somewhere and sat down.
As time went by, the cultivators who had their eyes on Terraspirit Planet’s Stellar Source eventually left one after another.
They could not do anything with Chu Kuangren’s clone standing guard anyway.
“Sigh. Chu Kuangren is just too powerful. We have no chance at getting what he has his eyes on.” A sky-pride could not help but lament.
Killing top-notch sky-prides was a piece of cake to Chu Kuangren. His strength was undoubtedly unattainable.
“Besides the few Prodigies in the Interstellar Arena, I’m afraid no one else can stand against Chu Kuangren.”
“I don’t think even those Prodigies have a chance of defeating him either.”
…
Somewhere else, two disheveled figures stumbled out from the void.
It was Zhuo Donglai and You Ying.
“D*mn it. D*mn it all!”
As Zhuo Donglai roared, he released his Primordial Sun Immortal’s Core energy everywhere in a fit of rage. Immediately, dozens of nearby mountains were reduced into ruins!
The surrounding terrain was turned into a piece of charred land due to his scorching hot Immortal’s Core energy.
“Why, Chu Kuangren? Why?!”
“Oh heavens, what is the reason for this unjust act! Why is Chu Kuangren the favored one? The Green Leaf Sword Vision, Heavenly Samsara Physique, Fusang’s power, the Human Emperor Inheritance, Chaos Celestial Demon Physique… Why were all these wonderful gifts given to Chu Kuangren alone! What about me?! What about the rest of us?!”
“Godd*mnit!”
Zhuo Donglai’s eyes were red with rage, and his expression was as ferocious as a wild beast.
A strong and terrifying hatred emanated from him, and even You Ying shuddered at the sight of it.
However, a hint of despair appeared in his eyes as he thought of Chu Kuangren.
Could they really stand on equal ground against someone like him? Could they reach such a seemingly unattainable level?
“The Duality Rites Immortal Physique!
“I must have the Duality Rites Immortal Physique. Only with that, I can finally stand a chance of defeating Chu Kuangren!” said Zhuo Donglai as he lifted his head and looked at You Ying.
You Ying frowned a little. “We’ve tried many ways but still failed to upgrade our respective physiques to the Duality Rites Immortal Physique. I’m afraid it’ll still be impossible for the time being.”
“No, there’s a way!” Zhuo Donglai said. “There’s still one last resort!”
“What method is it?!”
“We’ll use the Blooded Heart Melting Technique!”
“How do we begin?”
“It’s simple.”
Zhuo Donglai slowly walked toward You Ying, who suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
The next instant, Zhuo Donglai suddenly reached out and grabbed, with his hand in the form of a claw. His terrifying Primordial Sun Immortal Core energy erupted as his hand went through You Ying’s chest and grabbed his heart out.
“Zhuo Donglai, you…”
You Ying’s face was full of horror, fear, and confusion.
“The Blooded Heart Melting Technique. Once I combine your heart with mine and imbue your blood essence with mine, I’ll certainly have a chance to upgrade my Primordial Sun Immortal Physique to the Duality Rites Physique!” said Zhuo Donglai as his arm trembled.
His brutal Immortal’s Core energy instantly ended You Ying’s life.
Just like that, a demonic sky-pride fell.
Holding You Ying’s still beating and warm demon heart, a look of madness appeared on Zhuo Donglai’s face.
The Blooded Heart Melting Technique was an extremely dangerous cultivation technique.
If he were not careful, he would lose control of the two different bloodlines, resulting in them clashing with each other. Then, he would die and have his Immortal Soul shattered.
Hence, Zhuo Donglai had never dared to attempt it recklessly.
However, he could not care so much anymore.
Chu Kuangren’s existence had made him restless and pushed him to the brink of madness!
Even if he had to risk his life, he would be willing to try to defeat Chu Kuangren. Besides, if he did not do anything now, he would surely die in his next encounter with Chu Kuangren.
In that case, he might as well take a gamble now!
“Just you wait, Chu Kuangren. I’ll surely come and seek you out one day!”
…
Somewhere else, on a mountain range, Wu Tian of the Sky Centipede Tribe pondered as he looked at a pool of blood before him.
That was what remained of a top-notch sky-pride whose his Immortal Dissolving Poison had killed.
That sky-pride did not stand a chance before Wu Tian’s Immortal Dissolving Poison.
“Why?”
“How can Chu Kuangren resist the Immortal Dissolving Poison?!”
“Even if he has a very high poison resistance, there’s no way he’s completely unaffected by it,” Wu Tian murmured.
He took out a dark green orb, which contained an incredibly terrifying poison within. Just a glance at it was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.
“Sure enough, it’s because I still haven’t completely refined this Poison Heart. That’s why I still can’t unleash the full power of the Immortal Dissolving Poison.”
“Once I’ve attained Expert proficiency in using the Immortal Dissolving Poison, just a single strand of poison qi will be enough to reduce a whole planet’s worth of living beings into a pool of blood. It’s going to be very powerful.”
Wu Tian held the dark green orb with a determined look on his face. “I must completely refine this Poison Heart and poison Chu Kuangren to death!”
He even had a hunch that if he could poison Chu Kuangren to death with his poison, nothing in the world would stand a chance against him.
…
News of Terraspirit Planet’s battle spread rapidly throughout the whole Interstellar Arena.
A name who was once close to being forgotten had now appeared once more in a remarkable manner.
“Chu Kuangren. He’s finally here in the Interstellar Arena.”
“Two years. It has been two years since he was in closed-door meditation. During that time, many of the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions have been growing stronger in the Interstellar Arena. I can’t believe they still can’t catch up to that person.”
“His combat strength is truly outstanding.”
“He could already kill True Immortals two years ago. As of now, he has become even harder to read than ever.”
Somewhere inside a palace on an ancient planet, an Imperial Commander of the Immortal Hall dressed in purple long robes was refining an ancient Immortal Hall Great One’s item.
“Chu Kuangren, you’ve killed so many Heavenly Champions of the Immortal Hall’s four divisions. Do you really think the Immortal Hall has no one who can stand up against you?”
“The moment we meet, I’ll surely defeat and kill you!” said the Holy Violet Imperial Commander coldly.
How many Heavenly Champions of the Immortal Hall had died in Chu Kuangren’s hand?
He was not sure how many there were.
However, Chu Kuangren had now made the Immortal Hall his enemy, and the Holy Violet Imperial Commander could no longer allow him to become stronger.
Somewhere else, atop a mountain peak filled with ancient swords struck into the ground, a young man was holding a bamboo staff with closed eyes and traces of sword qi were emanating from his body.
Then, the jade scroll at his waist vibrated.
He had just received news about Chu Kuangren’s arrival.
“Oh, it seems that Brother Chu has arrived.”
The young man with his eyes closed was Ye Zhu, the strongest Heavenly Champion of the Three Clarity Daoist Sect.
He was also the host of the Green Leaf Sword Vision, an Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique.
However, his Sword Vision was an incomplete version.
“Compared to Brother Chu, I believe there’s still a big gap in our strengths. The most urgent thing I have to do is to search for the Sword Immortal Catacombs. My only chance to complete my Green Leaf Sword Vision’s power lies somewhere within there. If I want to stand a chance against Brother Chu, I must find it at once!”
