Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Um…” Huang Yinghong sounded hesitant.
Beside her, Feng Shangyun said coldly, “A human who possesses the Phoenix’s Fire? This has never been heard or seen before. We can’t keep him alive. Besides, the Opportunity of Fortune on that girl, we shouldn’t let that slip either.”
“are you disobeying my order?” Qing Feng asked coldly.
“An unfavorable young clan leader who has no reputation whatsoever, why do you think you have the right to order me around?!” Feng Shangyun said coldly.
“Enough, Phoenix Bachelor. Where are your manners?”
Huang Yinghong stopped him right away.
Chu Kuangren saw the scene from the side, and he fell into deep thought. It seemed like Qing Feng was not well received in Sycamore Mountain.
“Hmph! Anyway, I won’t stop.”
Feng Shangyun rose to the sky while igniting his surroundings in flame, turning the air into a sea of fire.
Huang Yinghong was slightly hesitant, but she did nothing.
Chu Kuangren stood beside Lan Yu and said calmly, “Who else has their eyes on this Opportunity of Fortune? Just bring it on.”
With a fling of his sleeve, vast Emperor qi spread outwards.
‘The ground and the sky trembled.
“Hahaha. Chu Kuangren, I’ve been wanting to fight you.”
A figure, engulfed in colorful flame, flew over from afar. The aura of a King Immortal Progeny swept across the land.
‘The fiery figure was wearing a red Chinese robe, looking extremely majestic. He controlled all kinds of flame, and his aura was as vast as the Fire G.o.d’s.
“It’s him! The Holy Divine Fire Cult’s first Divine Bachelor, Huoshen Huang!”
The crowd was in awe.
“Chu Kuangren, you killed the Ancient Sparrow City Lord and the Heavenly Web City Lord, who were both subordinates of Holy City. You will be held responsible for what you have done!”
A cold voice sounded.
Aman in silver armor and a dark red spear strutted over, and his vast ferocious qi swept across everything.
It was the direct disciple of the Spear Crown of Holy City, Wu Wuji!
Swoos.h.!.+
Rays of light swooped over. They were the Divine Bachelors and Divine Maidens of Holy Divine Fire Cult, as well as the enforcers from Holy City. They had Chu Kuangren surrounded heavily.
Seeing the scene, the crowd was in shock.
“Holy cow! This is huge!”
“Not only are Holy Divine Fire Cult’s Divine Bachelors and Divine Maidens here, but even the First Divine Bachelor is here! And the direct disciple of the Spear Crown, the enforcers of the Holy City… If they teamed up, who among the younger generation could possibly hold up against them?”
“Even a King Immortal Progeny would perish before them!”
Chu Kuangren remained calm at the encirclement. He stared into the void and said, “They are all here. Are you still going to hide in the dark, Hui Fa of Golden Ridge Temple?”
Ripples suddenly appeared in the void.
Amonk in white robes walked out of thin air. He looked at Chu Kuangren with a smile. “Brother Chu, your senses are really extraordinary.”
“Ican smell the stench of the rage qi in you from miles away,” Chu Kuangren said with a pout.
Hui Fa narrowed his eyes coldly.
“Hmph! Chu Kuangren, you are now surrounded by the Holy Divine Fire Cult, Holy City, and Golden Ridge Temple! Today will be the day you die!” one of the Holy Divine Fire Cult’s Divine Bachelors said.
“Words are useless against him. Kill him and seize the silver-haired woman. We will interrogate her about the secrets about the Opportunity of Fortune!”
One of the Holy City enforcers lost his patience and made the first move.
His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot like a ghost. Then, he reappeared in front of Chu Kuangren and unleashed his Pseudo Immortal energy.
Chu Kuangren reached out at the attack.
At the next moment, his fair hand went through the attack containing the power of a Pseudo Immortal and seized the enforcer at the next.
Golden crimson Phoenix Flame burst and burned the Holy City enforcer to cinders as he screamed in agony.
Chu Kuangren tossed the charred body aside. Then, his Emperor qi erupted and swept out in every direction. Several source energies flew out from his body and circled him, causing a powerful energy fluctuation that shook the void around him.
“A three-way siege, I see… Just to kill me? But are you people worthy?” Chu Kuangren said coldly.
After that, he pointed his sword hand sign at the void, where violet lotuses bloomed one after another. Their petals danced in the air and quickly transformed into sharp sword qi.
As the sword qi intertwined and shrouded the entire field, some cultivators who had lower cultivation levels were torn to shreds, turning into a cloud of b.l.o.o.d.y mist.
“Is this Thousand Lotus Sword Intent?!”
“D*mn it! Now, kill him now!”
The two Holy Divine Fire Cult Divine Bachelors made their move. Fire from all over the realm gathered upon them and transformed into two enormous fireb.a.l.l.s before they hurled them at Chu Kuangren.
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren raised his hand to unleash the Phoenix’s Flame.
He was fighting fire with fire!
The two Divine Bachelors were burnt to ashes on the spot!
Some of the Holy City enforcers realized how powerful Chu Kuangren was, and it deterred them from going face to face with him. Instead, they went after Lan Yu, who was behind Chu Kuangren.
“You’re asking for it!”
Acold glare flashed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
With a step back, he reappeared at Lan Yu’s side and pointed his sword hand sign at the enforcer. The sword qi immediately ground the man into a pile of meat.
“Single Thought Series, Planetary Destruction!”
Chu Kuangren channeled his Immortal Technique. His mind power and Emperor qi swirled around him and Lan Yu in the form of purple and crimson-colored bands of light that swiftly spread outwards.
‘The cultivators who were caught by the light bands exploded on the spot.
For a moment there, neither the Divine Bachelors and Divine Maidens nor the Holy City enforcers could escape the expanding light bands.
His powerful strength left everyone speechless.
His combat strength was terrifying.
“He’s definitely on the Immortal Path now!”
“Not only that, but he’s even more terrifying than some Half-Immortals!”
The crowd was astonished.
Hui Fa, Huoshen Huang, and Wu Wuji had a grim looks in their eyes. They expected Chu Kuangren to be powerful but not to that extent.
“He’s a lot stronger than he was a year ago,” Hui Fa said with a grave gaze.
“There are no signs of him going through the lightning tribulation, but his Emperor qi and source energies are ridiculously powerful. It’s bizarre.” Huoshen Huang could not wrap his head around the fact.
“No matter what it is, he definitely holds a huge secret. Kill him, and we might be in for a huge gain.” Wu Wuji’s eyes shone brightly.1
“Phoenix Bachelor, do you wish to join us to take down this person?” Hui Fa looked at Feng Shangyun.
Feng Shangyun nodded. “I thought you wouldn’t ask.”
“Let’s go.”
Huoshen Huang made the first move, and divine fire erupted from his body.
“It’s the Crimson divine fire, Yin Underworld Flame, Oceanic Celestial Flame, and the Bone Spirit Flame! As expected of the Holy Divine Fire Cult’s First Divine Bachelor! He has mastered so many divine fires alone! He’s unbelievably good!” one of the cultivators who did extensive research on divine fire
commented excitedly.
As soon as he said that, the divine fires had arrived before Chu Kuangren, but they were stopped by an invisible barrier two meters away from him. Then, violet lotuses bloomed in the void.
Thousand Violet Sword Intent!
“Oh? Not fighting back? Is he defending the girl behind him?” Huoshen Huo expressed his concern.
“This might be a great chance,” Hui Fa said with his eyes glimmering.
“Grand Brahmic Heavenly Palm!”
Buddhist Light around him shone and formed a golden palm.
“Phoenix Gale Perforation!”
Feng Shangyun channeled the Phoenix’s Flame around him, transforming it into a sharp sword shadow.
‘The sword shadow was hurled at Chu Kuangren’s sword qi barrier together with the golden palm. Upon collision, the ground around Chu Kuangren exploded and sank.
“Hmph! Fool.” Wu Wuji scoffed.
He gripped his spear tightly and thrust it forward.
Ablood-colored spear ray struck the sword qi barrier.
‘With multiple attacks landing on the sword qi barrier, the blooming violet lotuses finally dissolved.
Ahuge energy explosion went off moments after the collision and swept across the land.
Behind Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu suddenly opened her eyes. Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from her and spread everywhere.
Her aura could rival a King Immortal Progeny!
She has completely inherited her powers.
“Master, I’ll lend you a hand!” Lan Yu said, wanting to a.s.sist Chu Kuangren.
“You don’t need to interfere. Go to the Sword Crown,” Chu Kuangren said coldly.
Lan Yu hesitated for a moment before she nodded.
“Hmph! Chu Kuangren, why are you still trying to look cool at times like this? It’s one against four. So you think you have what it takes to fight us?” Huoshen Huang grinned.
“Wrong.” Chu Kuangren shook his head. Then, an even more terrifying Emperor qi erupted from him.
“It’s not me against the four of you. It’s the four of you trying to resist me. Ready?”

With a flick of his sleeve, source energies emanated from his body and surrounded him with Immortal Sparks radiating around him. He was like a Supreme Immortal King whose aura could shake heaven and earth..
