Chapter 1859
1859 The Heavens Demand an Explanation, The Three Most Influential Figures in Pan GU Universe, Beware of the Mist Tribe
Since the Heavenly Sword left after the battle on the Heavenly Ocean Continent, Pan Gu Universe cultivators obtained control over the whole continent.
Meanwhile, the remaining strategic resource locations throughout the Void Battlefield were also divided up by the Embodiers of the two universes.
Following that, several lines of defense were built in the Void Battlefield.
The battle between the two universes had temporarily come to a halt.
As for Heavenly Sword Chu Kuangren, he had returned to the Central Heaven Universe. The moment he entered the Central Heaven Temple, a massive and violent burst of sword aura erupted!
!!
The whole temple rumbled from his power!
The sky-prides and Prodigies following him from behind all started shuddering in fear.
‘The Heavenly Sword is enraged!’
Massive bursts of sword aura raged on mercilessly. Chu Kuangren immediately glared into the Daoist law’s starry sky. “The Heavens demand an explanation!”
A surge of golden Emperor qi appeared.
Di Feitian walked out and said, “What explanation?”
“Who gave you permission to interfere in the Heavens’ battle?”
“Chu Kuangren is a powerful enemy of the Central Heaven Universe. He must die at once, or there will be grave consequences!” Di Feitian said indifferently.
“That man is the Heavens’ opponent. The Heavens will deal with him in due time. As for you, you have spoiled the Heavens’ fun! A price must be paid for such insolence!”
Upon hearing that, everyone could not help but get into an uproar.
‘Has he forgotten that Di Feitian is a Supreme God King? In the Central Heaven Temple, he is second in power only to the mysterious Temple Lord.’
‘Yet, despite all this, Chu Kuangren wants him to pay for what he did. Has he gone mad?’
‘Where did he find the courage to do this?’
“Hmph, you’re too arrogant, Heavenly Sword. Could you possibly be implying that you’re willing to ignore the fate of the whole Central Heaven Universe just for the sake of fun?” Di Feitian questioned.
“The Heavens shall ask you then. Have you killed Chu Kuangren?”
Di Feitian was speechless for a moment. “No. I was stopped.”
“Exactly! There’s no way any of you can kill him. Only the Heavens can do it. Do not use the fate of the whole universe as an excuse to undermine the Heavens! The Heavens is not responsible to answer to the likes of you!”
The crowd of God Kings looked at each other inside the Daoist law’s starry sky.
The God Kings would always be held back by other Embodiers during battle.
The Prodigies were the only people that could kill Chu Kuangren. Besides, the only person left in the Central Heaven Universe that could battle Chu Kuangren… was none other than the Heavenly Sword!
Even the Nine Kings were no match for Chu Kuangren.
Did they not see that Di Qianqiu was sliced into two back there?
“It looks like we’ll have to depend on the Heavenly Sword after all.”
“That’s right. With Chu Kuangren around in Pan Gu Universe, he’ll become an even more troublesome opponent when he breaks through to the Embodier Realm in the future. I’m afraid the only person who can keep him in check would be the Heavenly Sword.”
…
Di Feitian took a deep breath. “It was my mistake to interfere with your battle. However, I did it so for the sake of the Central Heaven Universe, so let’s put this matter behind us, Heavenly Sword. We will need your strength to handle Chu Kuangren from this day onward.”
“Put this matter behind us…”
Chu Kuangren sneered. “What a well-thought reply that was. When the Heavens become an Embodier one day, the Heavens shall personally pay a visit to the Emperor Tribe!”
After that, his figure turned into a stream of sword ray and returned to the Heavenly Sword Peak.
Di Feitian’s face twisted in anger.
‘When he becomes an Embodier, not only is he going to get revenge, but he’s also going to drag the whole Emperor Tribe into it?’
‘Only one person has angered him, but a whole tribe has to pay for it?’
‘The Heavenly Sword has gone too far.’
“Hmph, I’ll wait and see what the mere Heavenly Sword can possibly do to the Emperor Tribe!” Di Feitian said with a chilling gaze.
The Emperor Tribe was an Ancient King Tribe with vast resources and strong foundations. Ordinary King Tribes could not even hope to compare with the likes of them.
‘So what if the Heavenly Sword became an Embodier?’
‘The Emperor Tribe is not short of God Kings as well!’
Inside the Daoist law’s starry sky, several God Kings had gathered. They were all Supreme God Kings, the most top-tiered beings in the whole Central Heaven Universe.
At that moment, they had gathered and were discussing a certain matter that was Chu Kuangren.
That person’s arrival had brought great shock to them.
After all, the Nine Kings were their strongest combat force to defeat Pan Gu Universe as they possessed seemingly endless potential.
However, the Nine Kings were nothing in the face of Chu Kuangren’s power.
As such, they were forced to reconsider their strategy.
“Chu Kuangren’s presence is not to be trifled with, and he will surely become a great enemy of the Central Heaven Universe. Although we have the Heavenly Sword keeping him in check, that person is unruly and hard to control. We must think of another way soon.”
“That’s right. We can’t allow Chu Kuangren to live any longer.”
“Then again, he’s protected by the Celestial Demon Tribe. Who can possibly lay a finger on him?”
“We’ll hold back the Celestial Demon Tribe and the other Embodiers. As for Chu Kuangren, we’ll let the Ten Calamities handle him.”
Everyone could not help but frown a little when the Ten Calamities were mentioned.
The Ten Calamities were a combat force from the Central Heaven Universe that infiltrated Pan Gu Universe a very long time ago. Their presence was another plan by the Central Heaven Universe to defeat the Pan Gu Universe.
However, could the Ten Calamities stand a chance against Chu Kuangren?
Even the Nine Kings had failed to defeat him.
“From what I know, more than half of the Ten Calamities have died at Chu Kuangren’s hands, and only four are left. I don’t think they can defeat Chu Kuangren in this case.”
“In that case, contact them,” God King Sikong said calmly.
The few other God Kings looked at each other, and one of them asked with a furrow between his brows, “Do we really have to contact them? Those guys are a bunch of greedy fools.”
“Besides the Ten Calamities, the only force we still have left in Pan Gu Universe is that bunch of failures… the Mist Tribe!” said God King Sikong with a pensive look in his eyes.
…
In Pan Gu Universe, Chu Kuangren walked out from the Void Battlefield, prepared to return to the Immortal World to refine the treasures he obtained.
However, he immediately met someone the moment he exited the Void Battlefield.
It was the Daoist Progenitor!
At that time, the Daoist Progenitor was sitting above an unnamed ancient planet. Invisible strands of Daoist Rhyme were surrounding him, isolating him from the outside world.
There was also another person beside him.
That person was dressed in green robes, with brows as straight as a sword and eyes as clear as the sky. The instant Chu Kuangren saw him, he could feel the Celestial Demon blood within him react excitedly.
Chu Kuangren was already quite certain who that other person was.
“Do you mind having a moment, Immortal King?” The Daoist Progenitor chuckled.
Chu Kuangren nodded gently. “Of course.”
How could he say no when the two most influential figures of Pan Gu Universe wanted to chat with him? He quickly stepped forward and appeared before them.
The Daoist Progenitor waved his sleeves, making another zafu appear in the air.
The three of them sat down.
One was the Immortal King, another was the strongest Celestial Demon cultivator, while the other was the Daoist Progenitor of the previous epoch.
Any one of them could make the universe tremble by wriggling the tip of their toes.
“Immortal King, both Brother Wu Han and I have witnessed your performance in the Void Battlefield. It is quite remarkable,” the Daoist Progenitor said with a smile.
“I’m flattered, Daoist Progenitor.”
“What do you think about the Heavenly Sword?”
The Daoist Progenitor immediately switched the topic and asked with a playful expression.
Chu Kuangren’s heart skipped a beat. ‘The Daoist Progenitor and Wu Han haven’t seen through my disguise as the Heavenly Sword, have they? Have they found out?’
“He is a worthy opponent for sure.”
“Indeed. This Heavenly Sword is quite a peculiar person. I can’t seem to see through him or peek into his destiny. I’m not sure whether this has been the case or if someone is shielding his destiny from prying eyes. However, it’s no doubt that both of you will be the key to determining our future.”
“Let’s put aside the matter of the Heavenly Sword for now. This time, we’ve come to tell you something… Beware of the Mist Tribe. They have started to take action recently,” the Daoist Progenitor said calmly.
“The Mist Tribe?” Chu Kuangren recalled the time he was attacked when he exited the Immortal World. “Who are they?”
“Remnants of the invading force from the previous epoch.” A cold glint flashed in the Daoist Progenitor’s eyes. Then, he started telling a secret story that happened back in ancient times.
