1979 The Black Heaven Nine Stars Reveal Their Mighty Presence, the Deep Mind Dimension, Times Have Changed
“Tell me your name, woman!”
Luo Yunxiu looked coldly at s.h.i.+ Ying and said.
“I’m Justice, one of the Black Heaven Nine Stars!” s.h.i.+ Ying said.
Then, her figure disappeared in a flash and turned into a ray of light that dashed into the distance.
“Thinking of escaping? I don’t think so!”
Luo Yunxiu was about to chase after her, but Buddhist Light suddenly intertwined from the ground beneath him and turned into several spouts of water that shot into the sky.
In an instant, the water qi gathered into a ma.s.sive hurricane.
Immense power was contained in every single raindrop.
Luo Yunxiu was stopped by the hurricane, and by then, s.h.i.+ Ying had disappeared without a trace.
Only her voice reverberated in the air.
“The Central Heaven’s Nine Kings, huh? How disappointing…”
Having been fooled, Luo Yunxiu’s face turned red with rage. He immediately let out a punch, reducing a nearby mountain range into dust.
He then snorted coldly. “The Black Heaven Nine Stars, huh? So, there are nine cultivators like you out there? It looks like you guys exist to fight the Nine Kings.”
…
On another battlefield somewhere else, Pan Gu Universe’s cultivators were being hunted down.
The one leading the hunt held a cold gaze and a pale golden sword. Wherever his sword qi went, the surrounding terrain and void were ripped apart.
“It’s one of the Nine Kings, Xuan Yuanfeng!”
“This is bad. We’re no match for him.”
“d.a.m.n it. Let’s fall back.”
Xuan Yuanfeng looked at the escaping cultivators with a sneer on his face. Then, he raised his hand, unleas.h.i.+ng a barrage of sword qi attacks everywhere.
At that moment, an astral diagram appeared in the void, and a barrage of green sword qi swept out from it as well.
The sword qi from both sides clashed!
“This aura… Who is it?”
Xuan Yuanfeng was a little surprised.
A young man in green robes emerged from the astral diagram. He was holding a long sword, with strands of sword qi swirling around him. That person had single-handedly held back the Central Heaven Universe’s forces on that battlefield.
“Fortune n.o.ble of the Black Heaven Nine Stars,” Ye Zhu said indifferently.
Again, he raised his hand and unleashed a slash.
Conjurations of G.o.ds and Buddha dying appeared wherever his sword qi went.
It was the technique, the Immortal Destruction Sword Qi.
Xuan Yuanfeng quickly resisted the attack, and having been forced half a step back, his gaze turned cold. Just when he was about to retaliate, he saw that Ye Zhu had escaped with the retreating forces.
“What a formidable swordsman. I look forward to meeting you next time. The Black Heaven Nine Stars… It looks like some new Outliers have appeared in this war.”
…
Recently, a new turn of events occurred when the Pan Gu Universe’s forces were about to fall into a disadvantage against the Central Heaven Universe’s forces.
The Black Heaven Nine Stars had emerged, making their mighty presence known and turning the tide of battle.
Various battlefields lit up with astral starlight.
A female Bodhisattva holding a white jade flask was seen somewhere, spreading golden dewdrops wherever she went, saving everyone in danger.
A green-robed swordsman was seen using his sword qi to split mountains and rivers in half, single-handedly holding off the advance of countless Central Heaven Universe forces.
A G.o.dly Phoenix had also appeared, incinerating everything with its Phoenix Flame. Those flames were so powerful that elite cultivators like the Nine Kings had to avoid them.
An Equinox Flower was also seen blooming somewhere else, spreading the powers of samsara on the battlefield.
…
Within Pan Gu Universe’s territories, the Supreme Soul Overlord was setting up a formation. She made a mysterious hand sign while rays of light swirled in her purple eyes.
Following that, countless purple runes emerged from her surroundings, instantly forming a new dimension.
It was a purple spatial dimension with countless dazzling stars in the night sky twinkling magnificently.
More importantly, the starry sky constructed possessed a peculiar shape akin to a person’s brain.
At that moment, many figures were projected beneath the starlight.
Those people were Pan Gu Universe’s Embodier cultivators.
“So, is this the Supreme Soul Overlord’s Deep Mind Dimension? It’s quite extraordinary.” The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor looked at the dimension and said.
“We’re lucky to have the Supreme Soul Overlord on our side. With her Deem Mind Dimension technique, we can project our consciousness here and communicate.”
“That’s right. Even if we’re scattered everywhere, it’ll still allow us to gather and discuss important matters. There’s no need to worry about delaying any battles too.”
Everyone was amazed when they saw the Deep Mind Dimension.
The Supreme Soul Overlord chuckled and said, “I didn’t gather everyone here to discuss the Deep Mind Dimension. Instead, the important thing we have to discuss now is how Pan Gu Universe is going to act in the future.”
“The situation on our side doesn’t look good, especially with cultivators like the Nine Kings suddenly appearing from the Central Heaven Universe’s side. Although they’re not that powerful, their potentials are limitless.”
“That’s right. They’re a tricky bunch to deal with.”
“I heard that the Peerless Warlords have started to appear recently,” someone suddenly said.
Upon hearing that, everyone fell silent.
The Peerless Warlord was a glorious t.i.tle given to those on the battlefield. During the previous war between the two universes, only a handful of individuals received that t.i.tle, and every single one of them was nothing short of a powerhouse.
“Things are going to get harder now.”
“On our side, there are only seven Peerless Warlords, and four of them are rus.h.i.+ng over. Due to the gruesome battle back then, the remaining three have fallen into a deep slumber in the Dark Demonic Forbidden Lands.”
“Any updates about our progress in the Dark Demonic Forbidden Lands?”
“We’re still looking, but news about it should be arriving soon. If we can wake those three up, it’ll surely be a great help to our current situation.”
“I’m afraid our enemies in the Central Heaven Universe will not stand idly by either. Their Peerless Warlords are in deep slumber there too.”
While everyone continued discussing the Peerless Warlords and Dark Demonic Forbidden Lands, Zi Jinlun said, “Everyone, I think we should first discuss another matter?”
“What’s it?”
“It’s time for Pan Gu Universe to have a leader. Think about it, with the bad situation our forces are in, besides being at a disadvantage in terms of combat power, our forces are scattered and fighting on their own. That’s why the Central Heaven Universe has been gaining an advantage over us thus far.”
His words made everyone think.
The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor said, “I think Zi Jinlun is right.”
Zi Jinlun looked at him with surprise.
‘Wait, did he just agree with me?’
‘There’s something afoot.’
The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor continued speaking. “If it’s fine with everyone, the Immortal Hall and I are willing to take up this important responsibility.”
Only after hearing him did Zi Jinlun come to a realization.
‘What a guy… It looks like he’s here to compete for the position of leader today.’
“Don’t get ahead of yourself too much, Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor. Your Immortal Hall is still far from qualified to lead Pan Gu Universe.”
“If the Immortal Hall is not qualified, who else do you want to lead us instead?” The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor snorted lightly.
Then, as if something else had crossed his mind, his eyes widened.
“Why don’t I give it a try?”
An indifferent voice sounded.
A ray of starlight descended from the starry sky in the Deep Mind Dimension.
From the starlight, a white-robed figure walked out.
It was none other than Chu Kuangren.
At the sight of him, everyone could not help but exchange glances.
“Chu Kuangren?”
“Is he going to lead the entire Pan Gu Universe?”
Some of them among the crowd were ancient Embodiers who had experienced the previous universal war. Hence, when they heard the proposal to let a younger cultivator like Chu Kuangren lead them, they disagreed.
Somehow, they thought he was not qualified enough.
“As expected, it’s you.” The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor was not surprised, but he asked coldly, “What qualifies you to lead all of us?”
“Well, I’m the Immortal World Ruler, the Celestial Demon King, the current generation’s Human Emperor, the Underworld Ghost Emperor, the Blood Ocean Ruler… Are these qualifications enough?”
Chu Kuangren started listing out all the t.i.tles he currently held.
Everyone was at a loss for words.
None of those t.i.tles should be taken lightly.
Chu Kuangren continued to laugh and said, “I’ve always been fair. Anyone of you who agrees or disagrees with this, feel free to speak your mind.”
“I represent the Celestial Demon Tribe. We hereby offer our support for the Immortal King to lead everyone.”
Zi Jinlun stepped forward and said.
“I, Yun Zhongyue, also support you.”
“Representing the Five Ways Pure Land of the Immortal World, I, Buddha Yun Lan, offer our support.”
“I, the Yinggou Tribe Leader, represent the Jiangs.h.i.+ Restricted Area and offer our support.”
“I represent the Three Daoist Clarity Sect to voice our support of this.”
“We, the Underworld, shall support our Ghost Emperor with undying loyalty.”
“I, Xing w.a.n.gu, represent the Heavenly Xing Tribe and offer our support.”
…
“Heh. I, the Supreme Soul Overlord, represent the Soul Restricted Area and express our support of the Immortal King.” The Supreme Soul Overlord chuckled and expressed her support.
Voices of support echoed one after another.
Even the Soul Restricted Area was now on Chu Kuangren’s side.
The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor, Grand Darkness Celestial Demon, and other ancient Embodiers were stunned. At that moment, they truly felt that times have changed.
The name of the era was henceforth known as Chu Kuangren.
