Chapter 737: The Daoist Celestials who Reincarnated into the Formation Core, Luo Shui Seeks Revenge
With a flicker of his thoughts, Chu Kuangren came out of the Heavenly Dao state.
He walked out of the collapsed Central Heaven Daoist Ground rather anxiously and came before the Daoist Celestials. However, he saw a familiar figure.
“Hey, it’s her…”
Chu Kuangren was surprised to see Luo Shui here.
Meanwhile, the Daoist Celestials gradually came back to their senses.
“Chu Kuangren, what happened to you just now?”
A Daoist Celestial lost his patience and asked.
Chu Kuangren then told everyone the truth.
After the group of people listened to his story, they were all filled with disbelief.
At this point, Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial had already returned to his senses. “How on earth did you merge the Dao patterns of Central Heaven Daoist Ground?” he asked indifferently.
“I merely gained insights into it, and then they merged.”
All Daoist Celestials were speechless.
Merely gained insights into it?
Then, they merged?
Could this answer be any more perfunctory?
“This kind of luck has its own destiny. The world works in mysterious ways. Nobody can tell for sure what nature has in store for us. Chu Kuangren, you don’t need to say more. Just follow me.”
Luo Shui said gently.
Chu Kuangren glanced at the Daoist Celestials. When he noticed that they had no intention of stopping him in his tracks, he was stunned.
He was aware that he had ruined the Central Heaven Daoist Ground.
Now, he could just leave as Luo Shui told him to, and these Daoist Celestials did not even dare to stop him. It seemed like Luo Shui was a powerhouse.
He did not refuse either and followed Luo Shui out of the Central Heaven Asteroid.
“Chu Kuangren…The Human King…”
“What is the relationship between the two?” Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial looked at Chu Kuangren’s departing figure and could not help but mutter to himself.
In the depths of the universe, the Heavenly Tormentors were also lost in thought.
“Why is his battle form similar to that of the King?”
“The King used to wield the same power.”
“Perhaps it’s because of the original form of the Heavenly Punishment energy. In short, let’s pay attention to this kid’s growth first.”
The Heavenly Tormentors fell silent after a short conversation.
Outside Central Heaven Asteroid.
A warship was sailing.
On the deck of the warship, Chu Kuangren and Luo Shui were standing next to each other. Luo Shui broke the ice first by saying, “You took my head and made me look for it for quite a while. Boy, don’t you have something to say? ”
“Senior, you’ve misunderstood. Given your state at the time, I didn’t dare to give your head back easily. I was still very weak at the time. If I had done that, where could I go if you came and dealt me a death blow?”
Chu Kuangren said helplessly.
Upon hearing his words, Luo Shui chuckled. “You have a point.”
“Senior, I wonder what made you that way?”
Chu Kuangren asked curiously.
At the mention of this, a cold gaze shot out from Luo Shui’s eyes, “Boy, let me give you a piece of advice. Not all Daoist Celestials can be trusted, especially Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial. This person may appear righteous, but in truth, he is as sly as a fox.”
“Senior, did he make you that way?”
“Not exactly, but he is somewhat involved. It was another Emperor who took advantage of me when I was on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Imperial Realm. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have cultivated a secret technique, so I was able to survive even after separating from my head.”
Luo Shui said in a peaceful tone.
She was unusually calm, as though it was not her head that was chopped off back then.
“Who was that Emperor?”
“Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial’s disciple, now the Lord of Stronghold Thirty-One, Heavenly Imperial Wuhen!” Luo Shui said.
“I see.”
Chu Kuangren nodded. Then, he took out the Chaos Emperor Scripture. “Senior, Chaos Daoist Celestial has entrusted me to pass this Emperor Scripture to you.”
“My Honorable Teacher…”
For a moment, Luo Shui looked lost.
She looked at the Emperor Scripture in her hand before she shook her head and said, “Unfortunately, I haven’t attained the Daoist Celestial Realm yet, so I am still not strong enough to break the Slumbering Emperor Coffin and rescue my Honorable Teacher.”
“Are those Daoist Celestials not going to take any action?”
“Heh. Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial had an old grudge with my Honorable Teacher. It is his fervent wish that my Honorable Teacher will succumb to his death inside the Slumbering Emperor Coffin. So why would he save him? He would certainly do everything in his will to prevent others from attempting so as well. As for some of the old guards who stood by my Honorable Teacher’s side in the past, they were like me. Their bodies have reincarnated into the formation core that safeguards this Firmament Star…”
Luo Shui said and looked in the direction of the Firmament Star.
There was a colossal golden light veil above the skies of the Firmament Star.
That was the thing that protected the Firmament from the Blood Tribe. It was a mega formation that has kept the Firmament safe for over twelve eras… the Detaching Heaven!
Only very few people knew.
A huge price was paid in order to deploy this mega formation at the beginning. Back then, the nine strongest Daoist Celestials — Luo Shui included — had to be called into action to reincarnate into the formation core so that this mega formation could be completed.
“If it weren’t for the sacrifices we made to form the formation core, Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial would not have the privilege to speak like that today.” Luo Shui snorted lightly.
“Come. Follow me to Stronghold Thirty-One. Since I’ve returned, there are some things that I would like to finally settle.”
Stronghold Thirty-One was the place where Heavenly Imperial Wuhen currently resided. He was also the culprit who caused Luo Shui to become headless back then.
A few days later.
A warship arrived at Stronghold Thirty-One.
Luo Shui marched directly to the stronghold’s command headquarters. As she lifted her hand, a golden palm print that was as magnificent as a meteorite shower rained down from above!
In an instant, the entire command headquarters quaked.
One by one, many figures flew out from the headquarters.
These people were all Heavenly Imperials.
They stared at Luo Shui, and one of them said coldly, “How dare you trespass the command headquarters? Are you seeking your own death?”
“I’m only here to kill Heavenly Imperial Wuhen today,” Luo Shui said indifferently.
“You want to kill the commodore? Hmph, you’re delusional!”
“Which stronghold are you from? You manic daredevil!”
“Our commodore has guarded Stronghold Thirty-One and earned countless combat merits from conquests over the years. And here you are, thinking you can get to him and kill him as you like. Who do you think you are!”
Luo Shui gave these people a side-glance, and a scornful smile etched on her beautiful face. Were these people trying to argue with her about combat merits?
She had slain and sealed away a ridiculous number of gods in the Great Panhuman Revolt.
In their resistance against the Blood Tribe, she turned into the formation core and protected the Firmament Star for twelve eras. How could these achievements be comparable to this lowly Heavenly Imperial Wuhen?
Swish…..
A figure walked out from the command headquarters.
This person who came was a middle-aged man in black armor and had a magnificent aura. After seeing Luo Shui, his pupils shrank a little.
“You’re back.”
“You should know that my return means your death is imminent. Seeing that you have done meritorious service to the human race, I’ll allow you to deal judgment upon yourself.”
“Haha, you truly are the First Empress of Ages. Even in your reincarnated form, your sass and demeanor are still the same as before. But now, you’re only at Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial Realm. Do you think you can defeat me?”
Heavenly Imperial Wuhen laughed out loud.
Immediately afterward, the energy of a Half-step Daoist Celestial erupted!
“You fool!”
Luo Shui raised her arms, and an incredibly powerful miniverse was cast upon them. To everyone’s shock, it suppressed the powers of all Heavenly Imperials at the scene.
Even the expression on Heavenly Imperial Wuhen’s face changed in spite of himself.
“You’re right. I am a Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial, but don’t you forget that I used to be a Daoist Celestial. My understanding of Dao is as real as it gets.”
“I’m not going to submit to you without a fight. Bring it on!”
Heavenly Imperial Wuhen made a bold move and initiated the attack.
Similarly, a miniverse burst out in front of him.
The other Heavenly Imperials also joined in the action. However, at this moment, an invisible barrier separated them from Heavenly Imperial Wuhen and Luo Shui.
“Where did this barrier come from?”
“Who is it?”
“This barrier seems to contain the miniverse energy?!”
A Heavenly Imperial picked up his fist and punched the barrier.
Despite the abrupt force, the barrier was not damaged at all.
Chu Kuangren was standing not far away, flashing a soft smile at the Heavenly Imperials. “I suggest you guys watch this battle from the sidelines.”
