1667 Let’s Wait for Him to Return, the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique’s Evolution
Somewhere in the Immortal World, the sky-prides, Prodigies, and great ones were gathered in one place. They were an extremely talented bunch, and anyone of them would surely steal the spotlight wherever they went.
However, no one would ever believe that the same group of cultivators had just escaped from death’s embrace moments ago.
At that moment, every one of them simply stared into the void, drowning the area with their silence! Everyone was overcome with mixed feelings, but in the end, they could only let out a long sigh.
“From now on, no one in the Immortal World shall dare to compare themselves against Chu Kuangren’s madness.”
!!
“From this day onward, with Chu Kuangren absent on the immortal path, I’m afraid the glorious annals of history will be much harder to record. Sigh… We’ll be forever indebted to that man.”
Some lamented the loss of Chu Kuangren, while some wept in sorrow.
However, some were secretly happy. They just did not dare to show their happiness in a situation like that.
Lan Yu stared into the void for a very long time before her figure dashed forward in a flash to retrieve the Kunlun Mirror hovering in the air and keep it safe.
“Chu Hong, let’s go,” she said.
Her face was void of any emotions. No one could tell whether she was sad or angry. It was as if nothing had ever happened.
Chu Hong was a little worried as she looked at Lan Yu. “Lan Yu–”
“Don’t you worry, Chu Hong. I believe Master will be alright.” Lan Yu looked at the void and said with a beautiful smile, “Let’s wait for him to return as we always do.”
Having gone through so many crises and desperate situations, there was not a single time when he had given up, and this time would be no different than the ones in the past.
Lan Yu did not believe that her Master would die so easily.
“That’s right. We’ll wait for him to come back.”
Chu Hong nodded her head with determination. Just like Lan Yu, she did not believe Chu Kuangren was dead.
Anyone else would have died in that situation. However, that person would never die.
He would be the one to transcend everything in the future!
After Lan Yu and Chu Hong left, the rest of the cultivators went on their own way, returning to their respective tribes and clans.
However, all of them truly thought Chu Kuangren had died in that calamity. The Void Annihilation Formation’s power was just too terrifying, and there was no way anyone could survive after being consumed by such power.
After that, things continued going on as usual in the Immortal World.
The sky-prides and Prodigies continued improving. One might even say that they had gotten even more determined in their cultivation, having discovered the existence of the Alternate Universe.
As usual, the sky-prides and Prodigies continued their quest for glory and power.
One day, there would be news about a random sky-pride encountering a great Opportunity of Fortune and accelerating their cultivation growth. Then, the next day, the news would spread about another Prodigy appearing in the world, stunning everyone with their strength.
Things like that had been becoming more and more common.
Even the Immortal Hall, which had been inactive for a long time, had started to make their move.
One by one, the Divine Daoists and Imperial Commanders of the Immortal Hall appeared, making their presence known to the world. The Immortal World was reminded of the ancient Overlord-level force that was the Immortal Hall again.
However, without Chu Kuangren in the Immortal World, everyone felt that something was missing.
The Immortal World was not as lively anymore.
…
Meanwhile, inside the void somewhere, sparks of light started to merge.
Those sparks of light contained faint traces of Immortal Consciousness and were wandering in the void randomly before that.
After some time, the sparks gradually took the form of a human.
That man was sitting cross-legged in the void. When he opened his eyes, bright Immortal Sparks flashed within them.
“Ha! Sure enough, I’m still alive.”
A chuckle came from the human-shaped light.
It was none other than Chu Kuangren.
“However, this current state of mine is quite alarming. After all, my physical body has been destroyed while my soul has been critically injured. I’ve never encountered a situation like this since I started my cultivation journey. Oh well, there’s a first time for everything, I suppose.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The Void Annihilation Formation’s power was not to be underestimated.
Despite having an extremely powerful physical body and Indestructible Physique, his physical body was still destroyed within an instant. It was reduced into countless particles, and some were even reduced to nothing!
Furthermore, his three souls — the Heaven, h.e.l.l, and Earth Souls — were critically injured as well.
Only the most important of all souls, the Heaven Soul, managed to survive, but it only contained a flicker of Immortal Consciousness. Like a candle in the wind, it was so weak that the weakest force could destroy it at any moment.
“Oh well, I shall take my sweet time to recover.”
Chu Kuangren was not discouraged or depressed by that.
With his Indestructible Physique, as long as his consciousness remained, his physical body could regenerate!
“I’m not sure what danger lies within this void. I should put up some protection around my remnant soul before doing anything else.”
With a thought from his mind, Chu Kuangren’s Chaos Green Lotus slowly bloomed in the void, shrouding his soul completely within it. With the protection of the Chaos Green Lotus, he felt much more relieved.
Then, he began to regenerate his physical body.
Although a huge portion of his body was reduced to nothing, Chu Kuangren could still sense its remaining particles nearby.
Hence, he attempted to draw those particles near him with his power.
Under his guidance, some particles arrived and gathered near the Chaos Green Lotus.
However, those particles were just too few. It could not form even a hundred-millionth of his body. To put it into perspective, those particles could not even form a single drop of his blood.
Since there was nothing he could do, Chu Kuangren continued gathering the nearby physical body particles toward him.
If none were left, he could only rely on his consciousness and willpower to recover himself. However, that process would take an extremely long time.
Fortunately, he managed to find a few more physical body particles nearby and gathered them.
Finally, those particles arrived near the Chaos Green Lotus and merged with the previous group of particles to form the first drop of Chu Kuangren’s blood!
Well, strictly speaking, it was a tiny droplet of blood.
Since the most difficult part would always be at the start, things became much easier after the tiny droplet of blood was formed.
However, Chu Kuangren did not immediately regenerate his physical body. Instead, he stared at that single droplet of his blood with great interest.
Unlike the red-colored blood of everyone else, Chu Kuangren’s blood was illuminated with colorful rainbow-like light. It was extremely mysterious.
He could sense the fluctuations of several Daoist Physiques from the rainbow-like light.
For example, the Heavenly Samsara Physique, Chaos Celestial Demon Physique, Green Leaf Sword Vision…
Among the various physiques he possessed, the most powerful energy fluctuation came from the physique he created by combining several thousands of other physiques while referring to the Tome of Physiques. That physique was the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique!
Currently, the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique’s energy fluctuation was gradually devouring the power of the remaining physiques.
That was the reason why Chu Kuangren did not immediately regenerate his physical body. He was curiously observing the whole process as it happened.
“This Ultimate Almighty Source Physique of mine hasn’t evolved for a long time. To think that it’s having such a strange reaction after the destruction of my body… How interesting.”
After observing it for a while, Chu Kuangren decided to help his Source Physique absorb and refine the remaining physiques.
After all, he only gained those other physiques by a.n.a.lyzing them back then while that Ultimate Almighty Source Physique was something he created by studying the Tome of Physiques and combining thousands of previous Daoist Physiques.
That was the only Immortal Physique unique to him alone.
Very soon after, the energy fluctuations of the other physiques gradually disappeared from within that droplet of blood, and only the purest energy fluctuation of his Ultimate Almighty Physique remained.
Its power was vast and boundless, seemingly transcending everything!
It was simply unbelievable that a single droplet of blood could contain such a powerful physique fluctuation. That power was enough to make a Gilded Immortal feel suffocated with pressure.
Furthermore, Chu Kuangren also sensed an endless growth potential hidden within that physique of his.
“Now that’s more like it! This is truly my very own unique Immortal Physique!” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Using that droplet as his base, he started regenerating his physical body.
Having the Indestructible Physique integrated with it, the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique naturally gained its abilities. It could now provide Chu Kuangren the ability to be truly indestructible and undying.
After some time, the droplet of blood had grown stronger into a unit of blood1. It eventually transformed into a limb, and then into a thigh…
Finally, a well-refined body that was white as jade formed.
That body continued wandering in the void. Its skin was white as jade with crystal-like blood vessels and veins that could be vaguely seen underneath it. Radiant crystal-like Immortal Sparks illuminated from within, seemingly containing an invisible surge of Daoist Rhyme.
The Ultimate Almighty Source Physique was now complete!
