Chapter 1026 Battle at Divine Dragon Island, Gu Wuqing’s Rune, Are You Prepared to Pay the Price?

At the Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren had truly become an Immortal, and his Immortal’s Core was vastly different from ordinary Immortals’.

That was because he was his own Immortal’s Core!

The Immortal’s Core formed by his Invincible Self-Empowering Source was himself!

Chu Kuangren’s Immortal’s Core hovered in the air, its eyes gazing far and wide into the universe. While that was happening, conjurations of the sun and moon switching places, yin and yang alternating, the cyclical change of nature appeared.

After a while, Chu Kuangren’s Immortal’s Core fluctuations receded.

His Immortal’s Core turned into a ray of light and returned to Chu Kuangren’s body.

Once he had familiarized himself with the Immortal’s Core inside him, Chu Kuangren found it very interesting. It was as if he had cultivated a Nascent Soul instead.

“I’ve finally become an Immortal.”

Chu Kuangren uttered.

After all, he had lived in the Immortal World for a few years now. Upon recalling his journey from creating his own Source to becoming an Immortal now, he could not help but feel a little emotional.

However, he held back his emotions and started feeling the newfound power inside him.

Compared to when he used the Three-day Immortal Ascension Pill, Chu Kuangren had become much stronger now that he became an Immortal by relying on his own power.

Besides, his Invincible Self-Empowering Source could never be formed just by using the Immortal Pill, which was to temporarily strengthen his Source to the level of an Immortal’s Core. Hence, he did not really become an Immortal at that time.

Now, he has truly become Immortal, the real deal.

Other than his Immortal’s Core, many other aspects of his abilities had grown stronger, such as his raw physical strength. However, since his Stellar Undying Body was already so powerful, that little increase in strength did not mean much.

There was also his Immortal Soul.

Similar to his physical strength, it did not gain much improvement there.

After all, he had cultivated an Immortal Soul long ago and even three Immortal Souls, thanks to the Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement.

Compared to his Immortal Soul and raw physical strength, there were more noticeable changes to his physiques instead!

His Immortal Body!

His Immortal Body had six states — Rapid Regeneration, Enhanced Rapid Regeneration, Undying Decapitation, Blood Drop Revival, Atomic Reconstruction…

The sixth state would then be… Single Thought Reconstruction. As long as a single thought of the user exists, their body would never die!

As of now, Chu Kuangren’s Immortal Body has reached an Expert stage, meaning that his consciousness could merge into every cell within his body. As long as his consciousness exists, no matter how severely damaged his body was, he could still be revived!

That level of his Immortal Body had exceeded the limits of his physical body!

It was the embodiment of idealism itself!

It felt as if he would stay alive as long as he believed that he would not die.

Regarding that, only one word could be used to describe Chu Kuangren — terrifying!

If another word were to be used, it would be… bad*ss!

“In this vast Planquilon Immortal World, I could go anywhere I wish with this Immortal Body even if it’s to those ancient immortal orthodoxies!”

“Ha.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. He was very pleased about his breakthrough.

Following that, he noticed a bundle of light on the table nearby. Judging from its aura, it was left there by Lan Yu.

“A message for me?”

With a flick of his mind, Chu Kuangren’s Immortal Consciousness approached it.

Lan Yu’s voice then appeared in his mind.

“Master, a union between dragon and phoenix is being held on and by Divine Dragon Island. They’ve invited every Immortal in this world to attend the ceremony. By the time you’re reading this, Lil Fox, Sword Crown, Honghua, Jade Clarity Immortal Sect Leader, the Dean, and I have gone there to join the fun. Regards.”

“So they’ve gone to the Divine Dragon Island…” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

‘A union between dragon and phoenix, huh?’

For some reason, Chu Kuangren could not help but frown upon hearing the news. He had a hunch that it had something to do with him.

It was a cultivator’s hunch.

Now that he had become an Immortal, that ability had become more pronounced.

“Dragon and phoenix… Phoenix… Could Lil Red somehow have something to do with this?”

“Perhaps. I should go there and take a look myself.” Chu Kuangren’s gut feeling was getting stronger.

He walked out of his room and bowed when he saw the Eldest Master and others. “Greetings, fellow Masters. I hope everyone is doing well.”

The Eldest Master laughed. “Master Chu, you’ve caused quite a commotion with your breakthrough, I see. I suppose most of the Immortals would’ve known by now.”

“Oops. My apologies for the trouble caused.”

He then looked into the distance and said, “Fellow Masters, I’m afraid we’ll have to catch up next time, for I need to travel to the Divine Dragon Island now. My apologies.”

After that, he disappeared on the spot.

With his Spatial Conveyor Skill activated, he covered millions of kilometers in a blink of an eye.

On Divine Dragon Island, the pillar of light in the distance from the academy had receded.

However, all the Immortals present still had not recovered from the great shock they felt.

“Hmph. Let us settle things here first.” The Golden Dragon Ruler looked at the Dean and Gong Yue coldly.

“Bring it on!” the Dean said calmly.

Without a minute to lose, the Dean and Gong Yue got into a battle with the Divine Dragon Island and the two Sycamore Mountain Rulers.

The five Divine Dragon Rulers and the two Sycamore Mountain Rulers, all seven of them, were the best Immortals in their own right. Even the weakest among them was an Earthen Immortal in a Higher Third Grade.

However, as two of the strongest individuals in Planquilon Immortal World, both the Dean and Gong Yue held their own against the seven opponents. Their terrifying Immortal’s Core energy swept throughout the Divine Dragon Island.

The cultivators from the other forces had to retreat further away as they feared that they would be caught up in the battle.

“Hmph. The two of you, get out of my way!” The Golden Dragon Young Master looked at Shang Honghua and Lan Yu before he snorted and attacked.

Having become much stronger ever since becoming an Immortal, a grim look appeared on the faces of Lan Yu and Shang Honghua as they tried to resist his attacks.

At that moment, a figure immediately appeared before them.

It was the Sword Crown. He released a surge of Immortal’s Core energy, which sent the Golden Dragon Young Master flying backward with his Earthen Immortal powers.

Injured, the Golden Dragon Young Master’s face turned pale.

However, his injuries were not severe.

The Sword Crown was surprised. “Oh, not bad for a Fated One. So you can take on an attack from an Earthen Immortal, huh? That is truly commendable.”

“I can’t believe you’ve broken through to an Earthen Immortal, Sword Crown.” The Golden Dragon Young Master was equally surprised as well.

Earthen Immortals were beings who stood at the peak of power in Planquilon Immortal World.

“Hmph, I didn’t expect you to have regained your strength after losing to the Saber Crown. This is indeed news to me. But don’t you think you’re tarnishing your reputation by attacking a junior?” said a crimson-haired Dragon Immortal as he stepped forward.

That Dragon Immortal was extremely powerful and also an Earthen Immortal. He was an elder from the Divine Dragon Island, second only to the Dragon Rulers in power.

Following his appearance, one after another Immortals of the Divine Dragon Island soon came out from the void. There were as many as thirty of them.

Any one of those individuals was powerful enough to start an immortal orthodoxy on their own. That was a testament to the strength and foundation of the Divine Dragon Island.

The Sword Crown’s face became stern.

He was a Sword Immortal that specialized in offensive techniques, so he would still stand a chance if he were against one or two Earthen Immortals. However, it was impossible for him to face so many of them all at once.

“Leave this to me, Sword Crown.”

That was when Gu Wuqing stepped out.

“You?” The Sword Crown was a little surprised. ‘How could a mere King Immortal Progeny face off against so many Immortals?’

He then saw Gu Wuqing take out a square-shaped jade order with countless weird patterns engraved on it that formed a mysterious rune!

After that, Gu Wuqing tossed the rune into the air.

The rune radiated brilliantly as it spun in the void before finally forming a runic barrier of light, protecting Lan Yu and the others within.

“This is…”

The Sword Crown was stunned.

At that moment, one of the Dragon Immortals unleashed a punch on the light barrier but found it to be ineffective. The light barrier was unaffected at all, shocking everyone at the scene.

“It looks like this guy has something interesting in his possession.”

“This item must be crafted by at least an Earthen or Heavenly Immortal rune caster. It’s too fascinating.”

Everyone started engaging in a heated discussion.

Upon seeing that, the Sword Crown laughed. “Very well. You guys can wait here while I’ll go out and have some fun!”

The Sword Crown walked out of the runic light barrier and started battling the Dragon Immortals.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless energy blasts landed on the runic light barrier, one after another, until Gu Wuqing’s face turned pale.

Although that rune was powerful, with his current cultivation level, he would not last long against that barrage of attacks from so many Immortals.

“Let us help you!”

Lan Yu, Shang Honghua, and Gu Liufang walked up to Gu Wuqing’s back and channeled their source energy into his body. They were helping him to maintain the rune.

It was then that a powerful draconic strength qi suddenly appeared from the distance and landed on the runic barrier, causing the body of Gu Wuqing and the others to tremble. There was blood dripping down the corners of their mouths.

A gold-haired dragon Immortal was charging toward them. With a powerful aura emanating from his body, he was clearly an Earthen Immortal and a Middle Third-grade Earthen Immortal at that!

“Hmph, even if you have the rune protecting you, how long can you guys last?!” the gold-haired Dragon Immortal said coldly.

Gu Wuqing and the others started to feel hopeless.

Suddenly, an incomparably cold, ruthless, and menacing aura appeared from the void.

“Oh, what about you guys then? Is the Divine Dragon Island prepared to pay the price for injuring them?!” An indifferent void sounded.

A white figure walked out from the void. Every step he took rumbled the heavens and earth!
