Chapter 699 - Killing The Gods In One Blow, Preparations Before Going To The Extraterritorial Battlefield
The flames extinguished while the winds and storm halted.
It was as if pin-drop silence had befallen the whole world at this very instant.
Both the Venerable God of Fire and Storm God could feel the change in their surroundings. It felt as if they had been isolated from the Firmament Star itself.
Chu Kuangren stood among the clouds and said, "Welcome to my universe. Now, are you ready to die?!"
After saying that, he raised his arm gently and unleashed his Invincible Technique.
Conjurations of the sun and moon inverting while the planets around them crumbling instantly appeared!
On the other hand, the Venerable God of Fire roared and unleashed a great punch. His flames turned into a ferocious beast that headed towards Chu Kuangren.
However, his flames were suppressed by the surrounding universal energy the moment it was unleashed. Soon, it dissipated into nothing.
Boom!
Chu Kuangen's Invincible Technique landed on the Venerable God of Fire, sending him flying with blood spewing out from his mouth. There was no telling how many bones the God Flesh he was possessing had broken.
"This universal energy! It's the energy possessed by the Heavenly Imperial humans! D*mn it!" the Venerable God of Fire yelled.
Meanwhile, the Venerable Storm God also attacked Chu Kuangren with her divine power.
Her countless wind blades were already powerful enough to tear through the void. By combining them, she conjured up a terrifying storm of wind blades and launched it towards Chu Kuangren. That storm's presence was akin to a doomsday catastrophe, shocking everyone who saw it.
Despite facing this attack, Chu Kuangren merely raised his arm gently. A surge of invisible energy soon erupted from the surroundings, shattering the numerous Daoist patterns contained within that devastating storm!
Eventually, that storm was reduced to a gentle breeze that blew past Chu Kuangren's hair.
"This is my world!"
"I am the one True God here! False gods like you two are nothing but mere ants crawling in my palm! I can destroy you easily just by closing my hand!" Chu Kuangren said apathetically.
Then, he slowly stretched out his hand, where vast amounts of Emperor qi, Heavenly Punishment Daoist Patterns, and surges of universal energy combined to form a gigantic golden hand in the air. After that, it reached out towards the Venerable Gods with overpowering strength.
That astounding power made everyone's eyes widen in shock!
It was so menacing that it also caused both the Gods Flesh that was possessed by the Venerable Gods to tremble violently. The gods tried to channel their divine power to its limit to resist that golden palm.
Nevertheless, that golden palm ignored all attempts of resistance and grabbed hold of both the Venerable Gods. After that, it tightened its grip!
Amidst the screams, two veils of blood mists exploded in the air!
Everyone who saw that was shaken to their very core.
Even the Emperors who were watching this battle in secret gasped.
Killing two Gods with a single move.
What kind of power was this?!
"Compared to the battle in the Nether Abyss Valley, he seemed to have gotten more powerful. What is going on with this guy?!"
"How did he become so strong in such a short time? He only became an Emperor a few years ago, and now he's a Heavenly Imperial who can easily kill two gods with a single attack? By the heavens, is he even human?!"
"You monster!"
In the mountain peak far away.
The Divine Maiden fell into despair upon seeing what happened.
Beside her, Zhan Hongying sneered. "Is this the best your so-called gods can do? They don't seem that powerful to me, don't you think?"
"Just you wait and see when the other gods break free. Just you wait and see when the other gods break free…"
The Divine Maiden kept on mumbling, feeling perplexed.
Chu Kuangren's strength was just too terrifying. However, the more concerning fact was the unbelievable rate he was improving at.
Even she started to doubt whether the gods would be able to defeat Chu Kuangren when they broke free from their seals.
However, it was useless for her to worry about that.
Standing behind her, Zhan Hongying raised her saber and slashed downward, ending the Divine Maiden's life once and for all. Finally, Zhan Hongying had avenged the death of her clan members.
…
After killing the two gods, Chu Kuangren retracted his miniverse and returned to the Black Heaven Sect.
Murong Xuan, Nangong Huang, Lan Yu, and the others came up to him, looking at him with an impressed and admiring look in their eyes.
Killing two gods in one blow was something that they had never dreamed of accomplishing. However, Chu Kuangren had managed to do it.
He truly deserved to be their Sect Leader!
He was really quite something!
Following that, Chu Kuangren stayed in the Black Heaven Sect for a few days.
With Chu Kuangren around, his Black Heaven Sect had grown to be the number one orthodoxy in all of Firmament Star. Whether it be their foundations, background, or number of skilled cultivators, none of the orthodoxies could ever hope to compare. Furthermore, they were still constantly developing.
In addition to his Black Heaven School, which was rapidly growing, it was not hard to imagine how terrifying the forces under Chu Kuangren would become in the future.
However, none of this was his current concern.
He looked into the skies with an extremely deep gaze.
He knew that no matter how much his forces on Firmament Star grew, it was still nothing compared to the great catastrophe in the Extraterritorial Region that had been going on for ten eras. His true focus should be there instead!
"The God Worshipping Cult's influence in the Firmament Star has more or less been gotten rid of by now. Now, nothing can stand in the way of the Black Heaven School's growth. As for the Black Heaven Sect, with Lil Red and Lan Yu holding the fort, I bet no one would dare to bring trouble as well."
"Besides, I have the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army to help too."
"Perhaps it's time I go check out the… Extraterritorial Battlefield!"
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
He then told Elder Ruyan and the others about his intentions to visit the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Besides that, he also briefed the Immemorial Sage and White Lotus School Leader to have them grow his Black Heaven School further in Firmament Star.
When he was done handing over everything, Chu Kuangren left the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army in Firmament Star. Before leaving, he met up with the Heavenly Tormentor, who was not surprised by his desire to go to the Extraterritorial Region.
"With your current strength, no one would be a match for you unless the gods happen to break free. Perhaps the Extraterritorial Battlefield is the most suitable place for you to gain experience now," the Seventh Tormentor lamented.
Following that, he took out a green spirit fruit.
Daoist patterns were swirling around that fruit as it overflowed with fragrance. Even Chu Kuangren got a little eager upon smelling it. "This is…"
"The World Fruit! One of the Ten Great Spirit Fruits!"
The Seventh Tormentor chuckled. "I said that I'd reward you generously if you manage to settle the God Worshipping Cult. However, I didn't expect you to become strong so fast, which means that most of the ordinary treasures won't be of much use to you. After much thought, I think this World Fruit would benefit you the most."
"This fruit contains a vast surge of universal energy. Seeing that you've just become a Heavenly Imperial, you can use this to fortify the strength of your miniverse and improve it as well. Take it."
The Seventh Tormentor tossed the World Fruit over to Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren immediately accepted that spirit fruit delightfully. "Thank you very much, Heavenly Tormentor."
"Also, seeing that you're going to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, perhaps I can introduce you to someone I know."
The Seventh Tormentor took out a jade pendant from his waist. "Take this jade pendant and go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield's Stronghold Seventeen. The commodore of that stronghold is a friend of mine. You can go to him first to get a hold of the situation there."
"Alright." Chu Kuangren nodded and accepted the jade pendant.
"You can leave the Firmament Star in our hands for the time being. The Extraterritorial Battlefield is not like the Firmament Star, with the former being a hundred times more dangerous. It's common even for Emperors to fall in battle there, so be careful."
"I understand."
The Seventh Tormentor briefed Chu Kuangren about the things to watch out for in the Extraterritorial Battlefield. From the tone of his voice, one could tell that he had high expectations for Chu Kuangren.
After a while, Chu Kuangren turned and left.
Looking at his departing figure, there was a hopeful look in the Seventh Tormentor's eyes. "Chu Kuangren, just how far can you go?"
He could feel it in his heart.
Whether it be the war between gods and humans or the situation in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, Chu Kuangren's arrival would bring about unprecedented changes. He would undoubtedly be the key to how everything would end!
