Chapter 1959
1959 Those Who Defied the Heavens Shall Be Executed, Water Nation Warring Map
“Heavenly Sword’s follower? Who allowed you in here?” one of the assistant generals bellowed as he stood up.
The others were startled as well.
To be able to sneak into the place without them knowing, even they had to acknowledge that the Heavenly Shadow was someone powerful.
“This is the general’s residence. Since the Devil’s master has taken over the Ninth Continent, why can’t the Devil be here?” the Heavenly Shadow asked.
The others exchanged a baffled look at each other after what he said.
The Heavenly Shadow was right.
However, the problem was that the assistant generals refused to acknowledge Chu Kuangren as their new superior.
“The Heavenly Sword has yet to move into the general residence, so General Chi Xue is still in charge of this place. How rude can you be to barge in uninvited?” one of the assistant generals bellowed coldly.
The Heavenly Shadow scoffed. “Rude? If the Devil decides to be rude, none of you will be able to handle it. The Devil is here to deliver a message from the Devil’s master. General Chi Xue, please compile the names of the generals and soldiers in the next two days and hand them over to the Devil’s master together with the commanding token.”
The assistant generals exchanged another baffled look with each other.
Chi Xue then smiled and said, “I will have them prepared.”
“Let’s hope so.”
The Heavenly Shadow then turned into a black shadow, disappearing from the room.
“General, are you really going to hand over the commanding token?” the military consultant asked.
Chi Xue scoffed. “Hand it over? No way. As long as he doesn’t have the commanding token, he won’t be able to command the soldiers. Then, I will report this to the temple and label him as incompetent. The temple will transfer him away.”
“General, you’re wise!”
“We don’t need to throw him out. We just need to let him know he is not welcome here and understand it’s not easy taking over the Ninth Continent.”
“Yeah.”
The group continued drinking and chatting.
Two days later, Chi Xue was in one of the general’s tents, busy with military affairs.
Suddenly, a vast sword aura swept out and flooded all the tents in the area.
All the soldiers looked in the direction of the source.
“What is going on? Is it an enemy attack?”
“No, this doesn’t feel right.”
Further away, two people walked over.
It was Chu Kuangren and the Heavenly Shadow.
After Chi Xue sensed the aura, he took his time coming out from the tent and welcomed Chu Kuangren.
“Heavenly Sword, welcome. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you in time.”
Chu Kuangren smiled. “It has been two days. The Heavens is here for the names of the generals and the commanding token. Are they ready?”
“Oh my. I’m so forgetful. I forgot about it again!”
Chi Xue tapped his forehead, feigning regret before explaining, “It’s just that military affairs can get quite hectic, and I’m afraid you might not be able to handle the work load. Why don’t you let me take charge for now? Then, you can relax and spend some time getting used to the place first.”
He sounded sincere, as if he was giving solid advice.
Chu Kuangren laughed at his explanation. “General Chi Xue, I wonder what will you do to soldiers who defy your order here?”
“What do you mean by that, Heavenly Sword?” Chi Xue asked with furrowed brows.
“Tell the Heavens how you will punish them.”
“If it’s not that serious, their cultivation bases will be stripped; if it’s serious, they will be executed,” Chi Xue said.
“Very well. In that case, you should execute yourself,” Chu Kuangren said.
His words shocked the soldiers.
The assistant generals reacted with not just shock but anger as well.
“Heavenly Sword, no!”
“Heavenly Sword, you have no right to do that!”
Bang!
A vast sword aura swept across the field.
The assistant generals felt like they had mountains on their shoulders and started finding it hard to breathe.
Fear was written all over their faces.
“Heavenly Sword, I, Chi Xue, have given my blood, sweat, and tears to the Central Heaven Universe. I have killed countless enemies on the battlefield and achieved a lot for our universe. Yet, you’re going to execute me?” Chi Xue bellowed, and his expression was grim.
“No amount of achievements and merits can allow you to defy an order.”
Sword qi gathered at the tip of his finger, which was also swirling with killing intents.
Chi Xue was so angry that he cackled and said frantically, “Very well. I shall see how powerful the Heavenly Sword is!”
He channeled his Daoist law energy and drew his saber.
In a split second, a frosty saber ray shot out at Chu Kuangren. The Daoist law energy it contained felt indomitable, sturdy, and terrifying.
Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, simply drew an arch in the air with his fingers.
Swoosh!
In just a flash, two Daoist law energies clashed.
Two figures exchanged blows in the air.
“Those who defy the Heavens will end up like him,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
At the next moment, tens of thousands of sword qi burst out of Chi Xue’s body and ground his Dao to nothing.
“H-How is this possible?” Chi Xue screamed in disbelief as he looked at his heavily injured body and Dao, which had been ground to nothing.
He could not even withstand one attack!
Bang!
Chi Xue’s body exploded, marking the end of his life.
Seeing their general die in front of them, the soldiers were shaking in fear.
Killing a God King with just one slash?
How powerful was the Heavenly Sword?
“Anyone has any objections?” Chu Kuangren looked at the others.
The soldiers trembled before they started to kneel before Chu Kuangren.
“General!”
Chi Xue would never have thought that the brother-in-arms who drank with him a few days ago were all kneeling before Chu Kuangren now.
He died because he neglected the fact that, in the army, power spoke louder than authority, and Chu Kuangren’s power far exceeded his.
Soon, Chu Kuangren took charge of the entire Ninth Continent.
He then moved into the general residence and checked the compiled names of the assistant generals and soldiers.
He wanted to know more about how strong the Ninth Continent was.
The Ninth Continent was not too weak but not too strong either, at least to him.
However, he was not overly concerned because he was not here to take charge of the defense either.
On the second day, he did a gacha role.
“Congratulations, Host! You’ve won a God-tier prize, the Water Nation Warring Map!”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes glinted.
Another God-tier prize?
He took a better look at the prize.
The Water Nation Warring Map was a powerful formation technique.
The formation allowed one to collect rage qi on the battlefield and convert them into power to use.
The more rage qi it collected, the stronger the formation.
It was labeled as a God-tier prize, so its power was self-explanatory.
“Water Nation Warring Map…”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes shone.
He had a feeling that the formation would be the key to turning the situation around in the Void Battlefield.
The rage qi of the battlefield?
Where else would have a large amount of rage qi if not the Void Battlefield?
“If I can set this formation across the entire Void Battlefield, the amount of rage qi collected would be astronomical. With that, I can face anyone without fear.
“Of course, I would have to refine the required items and ask the other me to help set up the formation on the entire Void Battlefield,” Chu Kuangre muttered with anticipation rising in his heart.
With the soldiers of two universes fighting in the Void Battlefield, he could set up the formation at the Central Heaven Universe’s side, but he had to rely on Green Lotus Chu Kuangren to do the same on the Pan Gu Universe’s side.
Only with the two of them working together would they be able to set up the Water Nation Warring Map across the entire Void Battlefield.
“General, the enemy is attacking!”
The military consultant rushed in and reported the situation to Chu Kuangren.
“I’ll go have a look.”
Chu Kuangren’s figure flashed and appeared at the walls of the fortress.
A powerful aura was attacking the fortress from afar, where multiple figures were fighting. All kinds of Arch Gilded intents and Immortal Techniques erupted in the air.
“God Kings of the Central Heaven Universe, come out and die!”
A loud cackle echoed across the clouds.
A figure walked across the sky with Immortal Sparks surrounding him.
His powerful aura flooded the entire fortress.
Chu Kuangren took a closer look at the person.
“Oh, it’s him…”
