“It doesn’t mean I have to obey, right? Do you think I’d be so shameless to do everything as you say?”
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
At that, the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather’s expression turned grim. ‘He killed the leader of my Holy Dragon Pavilion just because of such bullsh*t?!’
“Is that him? Is that the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather?!”
A few people among the crowd exclaimed upon recognizing the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather.
That was because the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather was very well-known.
He was the most remarkable and talented cultivator in the history of Planet Bei. Besides establishing the mighty Holy Dragon Pavilion, he also created a series of Esoteric Techniques, known as the Nine Holy Dragon Forms. Apparently, he was almost undefeated in the world.
“Wasn’t there a rumor about the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather’s death? So how is he here? Did he fake his death?”
“Isn’t this obvious? It just shows that he’s been deep in cultivation all these years inside the Holy Dragon Pavilion. After so many years, there’s no telling how powerful he has become now.”
“I’m afraid no one in this world can be his match anymore.”
As everyone chatted and discussed, the cultivators of the Arcane Aqua Sect and the Sacred Fire Kingdom, which were also great emperor orthodoxies, could not help but frown. They, too, were extremely shocked by the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather’s sudden appearance.
Yet, the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather could not care less about everyone else.
The only thing he could think of now was Chu Kuangren, whom he could sense an unprecedented threat from.
For countless years, he had only felt that way a handful of times.
However, that feeling today was the most intense he had ever experienced.
Chu Kuangren was also looking over the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather, who was only a normal Heavenly Imperial cultivator. As such, he had no reason to take his opponent seriously.
What captured his attention was the very familiar energy that his opponent possessed.
It was… the Heavenly Dao energy.
That was the first time Chu Kuangren had felt the presence of Heavenly Dao energy from someone else.
“Lil Ai, analyze this person.”
“Very well, Master… Grand Holy Dragon Forefather, Low-rank Heavenly Imperial, Epic-quality Emperor Dao, mastered the High-grade Esoteric Art, Nine Holy Dragon Forms… Possesses the Heavenly Dao energy of Planet Bei, also the Ruler of Planet Bei…
Every piece of information related to the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather appeared in his mind one after another.
Chu Kuangren was quite surprised.
“Ruler of Planet Bei? Planet Ruler? The ruler of a planet…”
“That’s right. This person, the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather has obtained the acknowledgment of Planet Bei’s Heavenly Dao and is thus allowed to utilize Heavenly Dao energy as the ruler of this planet. To some extent, this means that you’re the ruler of the Firmament Star, Master,” Lil Ai explained.
“I see.”
Chu Kuangren pondered.
While he was pondering, the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather decided to attack.
A power burst of Emperor qi erupted from his body, and countless Daoist patterns emanated to form a miniverse that enveloped the whole area.
The Grand Holy Dragon Forefather then rushed towards Chu Kuangren, attacking him with claw-like movements from his hand.
“Nine Holy Dragon Forms, Holy Dragon Claw!”
A gigantic dragon claw apparition reached out at Chu Kuangren.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
‘The Grand Holy Dragon Forefather made a surprise attack? Is that what a talented cultivator, famed throughout Planet Bei, would do?!’
Nevertheless, this also showed how pressured the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather felt facing Chu Kuangren. It even made him disregard his reputation just for a better chance of winning by making a sneak attack.
“So what if a puny Heavenly Imperial like you sneak attacked me?”
Chu Kuangren’s mind power activated.
In an instant, the Holy Dragon Claw was shattered, and half of the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather’s body was crushed into pieces in return.
‘What?!’
The Grand Holy Dragon Forefather’s pupils shrank in shock.
Following that, a bright light emitted from his body, and soon, his damaged body had recovered rapidly.
“Oh, some sort of healing item, it seems. What a surprise. I didn’t expect Planet Bei to possess such an item.” Chu Kuangren uttered in surprise.
Once the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather had healed completely, he looked at Chu Kuangren with horror. He was defeated within a single move!
If not for the healing item he had, he would have been dead by now!
‘Since this person is so powerful in his astral form, how terrifying would he be if his soul reunites with his body?!’
“No, I have to go all out!”
“Heavenly Dao, lend me your strength!”
The Grand Holy Dragon Forefather roared.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky as a surge of Heavenly Dao energy entered the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather’s body, causing his energy to grow exponentially.
The Grand Holy Dragon Forefather’s expression became indifferent as if he was void of any emotion. After that, he pointed his finger towards Chu Kuangren.
“Holy Dragon Pierce!”
His majestic Emperor qi and Daoist patterns merged to form a gigantic golden finger.
That attack immediately caused a large portion of the void to crumble.
All the other cultivators, including the Emperors, were horrified.
“Heavenly Dao energy?”
“Oh dear, Planet Bei’s Heavenly Dao is too weak. As for you, you’re even weaker.”
Chu Kuangren shook his head. With a single thought, countless streaks of flames gathered towards him and transformed into a golden-red flame lotus.
With that, the golden-red flame lotus was unleashed towards his opponent.
In a blast, the void shattered, and the flame lotus landed on the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather’s body, immediately disrupting and forcing him out from the Daoist Convergence state.
“Impossible. This is impossible…”
“How are you so powerful? How are you a match for Planet Bei’s Heavenly Dao?!” The Grand Holy Dragon Forefather uttered with disbelief.
“I can easily destroy this tiny Planet Bei of yours within two or three moves. Do you possibly think this planet’s Heavenly Dao can be a match for me?” Chu Kuangren replied.
Everyone went crazy.
‘What kind of being has arrived at Planet Bei?!’
‘Even our Heavenly Dao can’t hold against him!’
“No, no, I do not want to die.”
Having seen the true extent of Chu Kuangren’s strength, the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather no longer had any intentions to go against Chu Kuangren anymore. He immediately turned and left, attempting to flee from battle.
“Do you think you can escape from me?”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
With a single thought, spiritual qi gathered to form thousands of weapons that rained down from the skies.
Just like that, the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather was brutally blasted into a mist of blood. After he died, a golden bundle of light floated in the void.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up when he saw that bundle of light.
His mind power reached towards that bundle of light.
However, an invisible surge of pressure suddenly weighed down upon Chu Kuangren, seeking to block his mind power’s movement. Planet Bei’s Heavenly Dao had taken action.
That bundle of light was a fragment of the Heavenly Dao Source. It was this Source fragment that gave the Grand Holy Dragon Forefather control of the Heavenly Dao energy.
Right now, Chu Kuangren really wanted to obtain that Heavenly Dao Source fragment.
“F*ck off!”
Chu Kuangren shouted and channeled his mind power to its fullest potential.
The suppressing force from Planet Bei’s Heavenly Dao was forced away from him immediately.
Like he said earlier, destroying the whole Planet Bei would not be a hard thing to do if he were to unleash his full power.
What could Planet Bei’s Heavenly Dao possibly do to stop him?!
Chu Kuangren’s mind power was soon wrapped around the bundle of Heavenly Dao Source.
Then, he asked Lil Ai to analyze it.
He learned that the Heavenly Dao had infinite uses and would greatly benefit him whether it was used to increase his cultivation level or to gain knowledge about the Dao.
After obtaining that fragment of Heavenly Dao Source, Chu Kuangren suddenly felt the Heavenly Dao energy inside him expressing a joyful behavior.
‘Is that emotion?’
‘The Heavenly Dao has emotions?’
Chu Kuangren was amazed.
He wrapped that bundle of Heavenly Dao Source with his mind power. Then, his astral form dashed towards his physical body nearby along with the Heavenly Dao Source.
His soul entered into his body.
With that, his soul and body were reunited.
Chu Kuangren opened his eyes. At that moment, an inexplicably terrifying aura emerged from him and spread all over the planet like a tsunami.
The whole Planet Bei quaked violently because of his aura.
Countless living beings knelt and bowed to him as they shuddered in fear.
It was as if the end of Planet Bei was here.
