Chapter 807 - He’s The King?! Welcome Back, Sect Leader
Chapter 807: He’s The King?! Welcome Back, Sect Leader
“Single Thought Series, Unlimited Armaments Desolation!”
Countless spiritual powers converged to form a massive formation of weapons!
The spiritual weapons hovered above the Black Heaven Sect, locking onto every god present at the scene. The sight of it all gave the gods a crushing sense of fear.
“It’s him. It’s him!”
“He’s back!”
In the human race’s long history, the gods had ruled over the lands and had never feared any human beings. Well, except for one individual, who had subjected the gods to great humiliations.
The individual was the Human King!
“That’s the Human King’s technique!”
The Pride God was so frightened that his face had turned white.
Once upon a time, when the Human King had unleashed a rampage on the Godly Mountain, the Pride King had a look from afar. It was enough to etch memories of that person deep into the recesses of his mind. Since then, the Human King had become a nightmare that haunted the Pride God.
On this day, the silhouettes of the Human King and Chu Kuangren looked the same to him.
In the Extraterritorial Region.
The Daoist Celestials were puzzled as well.
What was going on?
What did they just witness?
“That’s the King’s Esoteric Technique. How did it fall into Chu Kuangren’s hands?” They were clueless.
Esoteric Techniques were the ultimate representations of a cultivator’s understanding of the Dao. Each cultivator possessed his or her own unique Esoteric Technique, and it could not be passed along to another person.
Yet, here Chu Kuangren was, unleashing the Esoteric Technique of the Human King.
That challenged everyone’s perception of the Dao.
Could Chu Kuangren be the King?!
The Daoist Celestials could not help but ponder upon such an explanation.
However, they quickly shook their heads in denial.
It was impossible.
The Human King was dead. He had been dead for a very, very long time…
Even so, they could barely contain their excitement when they saw Chu Kuangren again. If Chu Kuangren truly was the Human King, and if the Human King had somehow returned…
How amazing would that be?
In the Black Heaven Sect.
With a single thought, Chu Kuangren summoned an army of spiritual weapons.
With a single thought, the army of spiritual weapons swarmed towards the gods.
Regardless of whether his victim was a Lesser God or a Greater God, they were equally defenseless under the sheer amount of energies that rained over them. The gods were instantly killed in one move.
After killing off the gods, Chu Kuangren stared into the sky.
His gaze penetrated through the firmament and looked straight into the Extraterritorial Region.
In the Extraterritorial Region.
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial felt himself being stared at and felt goosebumps over his skin. Suddenly, he felt uneasy as if he had been delivered a royal judgment.
“Chu Kuangren, what in the world are you?!”
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said through gritted teeth.
He now understood that in order to become King, his greatest barriers were not Daoist Celestials or the Heavenly Tormentors. Not even the gods…
Instead, Chu Kuangren was the greatest hindrance in his path of becoming the next King!
As long as Chu Kuangren was alive, he could never become King!
Chu Kuangren retracted his vision and murmured, “A backstabbing clown. I’ll just take care of him when the time’s ripe.”
Now was the time to set things right in Firmament Star.
After killing off the gods, Chu Kuangren walked up to the First Tormentor and frowned upon noticing the grave injuries the First Tormentor had suffered.
Chu Kuangren lifted his hand to gather the heavenly and earthen spiritual qi. Then, he tapped into his Spring Breeze Healing Technique.
As countless living energy flowed into the First Tormentor’s body, it quickly healed up a substantial proportion of his injuries. However, the First Tormentor’s injuries were just too severe. Not even the miraculous property of the Spring Breeze Healing Technique could save him.
“Water qi, come!”
Chu Kuangren gathered streams of water qi in his hand and shaped them into needles. Using his remarkable medicinal skill, he quickly injected the needles at different points of the First Tormentor’s body.
Soon, the First Tormentor’s condition quickly stabilized.
The First Tormentor was shocked. His injuries would have spelled a certain demise for him.
However, Chu Kuangren had somehow managed to save him before his last breath. Although he remained heavily injured, the First Tormentor was able to save his life.
“Oh, Greenie, aren’t you being too hard on yourself?”
While the First Tormentor was still recovering from his shock, Chu Kuangren’s words had abruptly dragged him back to a distant memory.
Greenie…
It was a nickname he had not heard for a long time.
Ever since the King had passed, he had abandoned that nickname and walked around the world as the First Tormentor.
On that day, he was once again reminded of the nickname he used to wear.
The First Tormentor stared at Chu Kuangren as tears welled in his eyes.
That familiar tone, that same Esoteric Technique and Dao…
“Welcome back, King.”
Although the First Tormentor had no evidence, he had a feeling that the person before him was the King he had used to fight alongside.
“King! It really is the King.”
“The King has returned.”
The rest of the Heavenly Tormentors rejoiced.
Chu Kuangren glanced at the Heavenly Tormentors. After his soul merged with his Hell Soul and Earth Soul, Chu Kuangren had also recovered several millennia worth of memories.
These people were once his closest guards.
Greenie, the First Tormentor, was his most loyal follower since the days before he was King.
“I’m back.”
Chu Kuangren nodded before he turned to the Black Heaven Sect members and teleported near them.
With the Spring Breeze Healing Technique, the members quickly recovered from their injuries.
“Brother!” As the most excited one, the Godly Phoenix, Lil Red launched herself right into Chu Kuangren’s embrace.
“Lil Red, you’ve grown up.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled while patting Lil Red’s head.
He then looked at Lan Yu, Elder Ruyan, Gu Linglong, Murong Xuan, and others. “Everyone, it’s been a while.”
“Welcome back, Sect Leader!”
Elder Ruyan smiled and bowed with respect.
“Welcome back, Sect Leader!”
“Welcome back, Sect Leader!”
The Black Heaven Sect members could not contain their excitement and bowed, too.
With Chu Kuangren’s arrival, the disaster that the gods had wrought was cleared up in no time. The Black Heaven Sect’s savior had returned!
In the Longevity Hall.
Chu Kuangren, Elder Ruyan, and some other members had gathered.
They were reflecting back on this incident.
The Black Heaven Sect had managed to avoid a large casualty count, thanks to Chu Kuangren returning in time and the reinforcement from the Heavenly Tormentor and Five Ways Divine Shadow Army. Despite that, several elders and disciples had still lost their lives in the battle.
However, it was not the time to weep.
That was just the beginning of a war. Not a single Venerable God had shown up in today’s battle.
The gods had yet to unveil their grand schemes.
However, Chu Kuangren was not overly concerned about that. His return meant that the Black Heaven Sect would be safe from here onwards.
Be it the gods or the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial…
Chu Kuangren had what it took to fight them!
“By the way, where have you been, Linglong?”
Chu Kuangren asked curiously.
Gu Linglong explained what she had been through over the past years.
When the Heavenly Dao recovered, many strong cultivators of Firmament Stars awakened from their slumbers. One of them was Heavenly Imperial Xuan Ming.
Heavenly Imperial Xuan Ming was also the host of the Godly Daoist Physique. However, like the Heavenly Tormentors, she was also injured during the Great Panhuman Revolt and had not recovered despite falling into slumber for countless years. Heavenly Imperial Xuan Ming knew that her days were numbered and wanted to leave a legacy. That was when she met Gu Linglong in the Royal Azure Dynasty.
Since Gu Linglong also possessed the Godly Daoist Physique, Heavenly Imperial Xuan Ming brought Gu Linglong along with her and used a secret technique to quickly transfer all of her knowledge and techniques to Gu Linglong. As a result, Gu Linglong was able to improve her cultivation drastically and ascend into the Emperor Realm by affirming her Dao through strength alone.
It did not take long before the Heavenly Imperial’s final day arrived, and she passed away.
Only after that did Gu Linglong return to Firmament Star from the Nine Heavens.
Chu Kuangren lamented the tragedy of this story.
The Heavenly Tormentors felt just as helpless. Like Heavenly Imperial Xuan Ming, they had suffered great injuries during the Great Panhuman Revolt and had yet fully recovered. This thought made them hate the gods even more.
“The gods have brought too much harm to the human race. I’ll never forgive them nor work with them. The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial’s action has brought shame to all of the human race.” Greenie said coldly before revealing what the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial had done.
Chu Kuangren nodded. “I’ve heard about this from Luo Shui. Rest assured that I’ll deal with this..”
