2023 Is It Truly Because of Our Past Relationships? An Even Greater Despair Is Waiting for Them

Chu Kuangren looked at the Heavenly Roundtable members who were now holding up their weapons against him.

He was not angered by their behavior. On the contrary, he was very pleased.

While facing someone so overwhelmingly powerful as him, those cultivators did not beg for mercy or bring up their past friendships with him.

Instead, they bravely stood up against him for their comrades.

That was the Heavenly Roundtable that Chu Kuangren was looking forward to seeing.

“All of you have done well,” Chu Kuangren said with a satisfied smile, revealing a hint of warmth from his apathetic eyes.

Everyone wavered a little when they sensed that warmth.

However, they steadied their hearts in the next second and began attacking Chu Kuangren.

“Emperor’s Double Pupils, Overworld Calamity!”

Tian Xingcai’s Emperor Double Pupils illuminated brightly.

An aura that seemingly could destroy worlds instantly poured out, shattering the void within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Her golden Emperor qi erupted in full force!

Meanwhile, Luo Xue held her sword tightly and unleashed a powerful slash.

Her sword qi caused the surroundings to freeze all over.

It snowed heavily wherever her attack went.

Every single snowflake contained a single strand of sword qi.

“Demonic Heart Purification!”

Ling Fei unleashed the Demonic Heart Purification, converting his demonic rage qi into combat power.

He swung his Calamitous Heavenly Sword Slayer forward powerfully.

His sword rage qi gathered and turned into dark black sword qi!

Three terrifying waves of energy erupted, locking onto Chu Kuangren at the same time.

However, he merely waves his sleeves.

A strand of his aura was released.

The Emperor qi, sword rage qi, and frost qi were all destroyed. The three of them were immediately sent flying, and the impact caused them to spit a mouthful of blood.

“Six Divine Heavenly Dragon Talismans!”

At that moment, Heaven Maiden You leaped above Chu Kuangren.

Six giant dragon-shaped qi descended upon him.

It was an attempt to suppress Chu Kuangren.

However, the draconic qi were all destroyed by his aura before they could even approach him.

“Arch Gilded Palm!”

“Emperor Seal!”

The Shinra Pirate and Di Feitian attacked.

Their palm qi and Emperor qi surged forth.

However, it was useless.

“Rainbow Dragon Qi, Universal Shockwave!!”

At this time, the most powerful of the group, Long Shuijing, attacked.

A gigantic rainbow dragon charged forth.

Chu Kuangren formed a sword hand sign, letting out a gentle piercing attack towards the incoming dragon apparition. Following a painful cry, the dragon apparition was immediately shattered, reduced to dust.

While facing the incoming attacks unleashed by the Heavenly Roundtable members, Chu Kuangren never moved at all. He merely stood still the whole time.

After all, everyone’s attacks were simply too weak and insignificant to him.

It was nothing but a gentle breeze to him.

He was already on a completely different level compared to them.

The Heavenly Roundtable members also realized that fact. However, they did not intend to fall back.

Even if they were heavily injured and on the brink of death, they would rather stand their ground and fight.

“I admire all of you, and taking consideration of all the things that you’ve done for me in the past, I shall grant you all permission to leave with your troops.”

“Remember, your lives are bestowed upon you by me,” said Chu Kuangren as he turned around and left, ignoring their astonished looks.

The Armament Destruction scoffed upon seeing that. “How boring.”

Then, he turned into a bundle of rage qi and dispersed.

The Ancient Armament Destruction Planet soon left the area, leaving behind everyone else from the Central Heaven Universe.

They all exchanged glances. It felt as if they had just crawled out of a monster’s mouth, and it was especially true for Luo Xue and the others, who immediately fell and slumped onto the ground.

The pressure they felt when facing Chu Kuangren was simply overwhelming.

Just his aura alone was already sufficient to overpower them.

“He could’ve killed us all, but why did he let us go?” The Shinra Pirate was puzzled.

“Is it really because of our past relationship?” Heaven Maiden You could not help but make a guess.

However, Luo Xue felt a little suspicious. “Is the Heavenly Sword– No, is Chu Kuangren someone that will be easily affected by emotions?”

Regardless of that, they all survived.

“Let’s leave quickly.”

Luo Xue and the others led the surviving troops back to the Central Heaven Universe.

They had lost badly this time.

They had lost all their Peerless Warlords and more than half of their Embodier God Kings.

“Heavenly Sword, Chu Kuangren…”

Luo Xue and the others turned around, taking one final look at the Void Battlefield.

A look of sorrow could be seen in their eyes.

…

Somewhere else, the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet was heading toward the Pan Gu Universe’s camp.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was standing atop one of its towering structures. The Armament Destruction Tribe members were not hostile toward him.

It was as if he was not the one responsible for the downfall of the Armament Destruction Tribe back then.

It seemed that the Armament Destruction Tribe was educated well by Armament Destruction himself.

Then, a figure appeared behind Chu Kuangren.

It was Armament Destruction.

“It is unlike you to release the tiger back to its mountain,” said Armament Destruction.

“Do you think you know me well?”

Chu Kuangren looked at him mischievously.

“Have you forgotten? A part of your Immortal Consciousness created me. Or course, I understand you well.” Armament Destruction sneered.

“Are you dissatisfied with me?”

“They thought I was you, but I, Armament Destruction, am no one’s shadow. Although you created me, I’m not the same as you!”

“So, work hard and prove yourself.”

Chu Kuangren looked at Armament Destruction and chuckled.

It was as if he was looking at a rebellious teenager.

Armament Destruction frowned a little, clearly displeased with the way Chu Kuangren looked at him. He asked, “Back to the question earlier. Why did you release the tiger back to its mountain? Are you hesitant to destroy the Heavenly Roundtable cultivators?”

“Heh, I’m not as ruthless as you think.”

“The Heavenly Roundtable is nothing but a tool for you. You have spent much time scheming and plotting how to utilize their influence and positions best. If this is what you call a relationship, it truly is worthless.” The Armament Destruction sneered.

“Come on, don’t think so badly of me.”

“Back to the topic then.”

“Very well.” Chu Kuangren chuckled. “There’s a flaw in your question earlier. To me, they were not tigers at all. Letting them return to their universe wouldn’t threaten me. Besides…”

Chu Kuangren looked into the void in the distance and said cryptically, “Compared to me, greater despair is waiting for them back there.”

Armament Destruction pondered for a while, and then a look of realization flashed in his eyes. He looked at Chu Kuangren and said, “You are annoying.”

“Ha. Aren’t you calling yourself annoying?”

“We’re not the same!”

The Armament Destruction erupted with rage, and his white hair fluttered in the wind.

Chu Kuangren froze for a while.

‘Did he blow his top just like that?’

…

On Pan Gu Universe’s Third Continent in the Void Battlefield, while Gu Linglong and the others were systematically arranging for the Pan Gu Universe forces to leave the Void Battlefield under Chu Kuangren’s orders, the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet appeared.

The appearance of the ancient planet initially shock everyone as they thought that a new enemy had appeared.

Then, when they saw Chu Kuangren, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they were still shocked.

How much had Chu Kuangren prepared for the war?

They did not even realize a single thing.

Compared to him, everyone felt too incompetent.

“It if weren’t for the Immortal King, we would’ve been done for long ago.”

This was not the first time that Li Tu, Moon Rabbit, and the others expressed such sentiments.

“No matter how many times I see it, I will always be amazed by the Immortal King’s ideas and plans. As expected of the one chosen by the Daoist Progenitor.”

Zi Jinlun was also deeply moved.

Previously, Wu Han was the person he admired and respected the most, and now it was Chu Kuangren.

After returning to Pan Gu Universe’s Third Continent, Chu Kuangren gave out some orders to his subordinates and then found a place and started his closed-door meditation.

He wanted to refine the tremendous amount of soul energy he had absorbed inside his body.

He had to do it so that his soul could break through the Chaos realm as soon as possible.

Everyone understood his orders. Except for Li Tu and the others who continued managing the departure of their troops from the Void Battlefield, the Black Heaven Nine Stars and others all took the initiative to stand guard for Chu Kuangren. They wanted to ensure that he would not be disturbed during his closed-door meditation.
