Chapter 1488 After All, He Isn’t Welcomed Anywhere, The Madman Has Fallen, The World Prospers
The news of Chu Kuangren being plotted by great ones and being refined in the Bagua Furnace spread like wildfire, setting off a storm in the Immortal World.
Countless people were shocked when they heard the news.
The maddest man in the universe, who had become a legend in the Immortal World and a threat to all in the younger generation, had fallen?!
It was unexpected news.
!!
Somewhere in the Immortal World, a young man with a spear in hand was sitting high on a throne.
The Jade scroll in his hand revealed the news that Chu Kuangren was suspected to have fallen after great ones attacked him by trapping him in the Bagua Furnace!
s.h.i.+ Tianxuan did not believe the news, but the possibility was high after he verified it a few times.
“Chu Kuangren… is dead?!” s.h.i.+ Tianxuan mumbled.
Chu Kuangren, whom he regarded as his lifelong enemy, was dead just like that?
He felt like he was in a dream as the legendary man, who had made him completely hopeless several times, was dead.
“Congratulations, my King! With Chu Kuangren dead, no one in this universe can threaten you anymore!”
A demonic cultivator congratulated s.h.i.+ Tianxuan.
The rest of the demonic cultivators did the same too.
“Congratulations, my King! Besides Chu Kuangren, you don’t have to fear any other sky-prides in the universe. I believe that not even the Divine Daoist of the Immortal Hall’s Imperial Commander is your opponent.”
“With Chu Kuangren dead, you’ll dominate the world, my King.”
“As soon as the demon kingdom becomes more powerful, you can gather the kingdom’s fortune. By then, it won’t be a problem for you to affirm the Arch Gilded Immortal Dao and even become an Embodier!”
All the demonic cultivators’ joyful voices sounded in s.h.i.+ Tianxuan’s ears while he sat on the throne with an indifferent expression.
Upon noticing his expression, everyone exchanged glances, not knowing what he was thinking.
Could it be that the King was unhappy with Chu Kuangren’s death?
“All of you may leave now. I want to be alone,” said s.h.i.+ Tianxuan.
All demonic cultivators left after hearing that.
“Sigh. Chu Kuangren was an outstanding talent of the current generation, and the King had fought against him many times. I’m sure the King must be sympathetic towards him.”
“That’s right. The king must be feeling lonely for losing his opponent.”
All demon cultivators were communicating and lamenting with each other through telepathy.
After everyone left, s.h.i.+ Tianxuan set up an enchanted boundary. He sat on the throne alone while holding the G.o.dkiller Spear, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Soon, the smile grew wider until he started to laugh out loud.
“Muahahaha! Chu Kuangren, you’re finally dead!”
“A well-deserved death! Do you know how long I’ve been looking forward to this day? You’re finally dead!”
s.h.i.+ Tianxuan could not care less about his image as a Prodigy and laughed hysterically. As he laughed, his body trembled as if he wanted to release all of his frustrations.
Only Prodigies who had fought against Chu Kuangren knew how much pressure he had brought them!
He made them fall into despair!
No one would like to chase after an opponent whose back could not be seen.
Chu Kuangren had traumatized their Daoist core, and he was like a mountain weighing over them.
However, the trauma was now gone, and the mountain was removed.
s.h.i.+ Tianxuan could not be any more excited.
“Chu Kuangren, since you’re dead, this era is now under my control!”
s.h.i.+ Tianxuan laughed while looking at the sky and holding the G.o.dkiller Spear with high spirits.
At that moment, it felt like his Daoist core had been uplifted.
Besides s.h.i.+ Tianxuan, the rest of the Prodigies also received the news that Chu Kuangren had fallen in the Bagua Furnace.
In a splendid palace somewhere, a young man, who was sitting with his legs crossed while holding a golden long sword in his hand and comprehending sword intent, suddenly opened his eyes.
Upon receiving the news, he was excited but slightly disappointed at the same time.
“Since Chu Kuangren is dead, does it mean that the Ultimate Human Emperor Technique is lost forever?”
“The Human Emperor isn’t welcomed anywhere, after all,” Xuanyuan’s successor lamented.
The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand trembled as if it was sad.
After all, the sword was once a Human Emperor’s soldier.
“Xuanyuan Sword, from now on, you and I will stand at the peak of Sword Dao. No one can compete with us anymore!”
Xuanyuan’s successor sighed and felt a little lonely.
With Chu Kuangren dead, in the younger generation, only Ye Zhu who possessed the Green Leaf Sword Vision could compete with him in Sword Dao.
In the Jade Pool Sacred Land, the Jade scroll in Yu Zhi’s hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Her face was pale. “T-This is impossible. How could Brother Chu die? He’s a magnificent and peerless person. How is this possible?!”
“With great ones plotting against him, it was difficult for him to survive.” The Jade Pool Sacred Land’s Sect Ruler sighed.
“The great ones? Do you mean the Immortal Hall’s great ones?”
The Jade Pool Sacred Land’s Sect Ruler stayed silent as she did not want Yu Zhi to get involved in the matter.
Seeing her expression, Yu Zhi knew that she had guessed correctly.
“So it is the Immortal Hall’s great ones,” Yu Zhi said after she calmed down.
“Yu Zhi, the Immortal Hall is powerful. Don’t be impulsive.”
“I know that with my mere Gilded Immortal cultivation base, I can’t possibly fight against the Immortal Hall.”
Yu Zhi knew her place.
She may be a sky-pride Prodigy, but she was not a powerful great one and needed more time to improve her strength.
“I will keep this grudge to myself for now, but Immortal Hall, I will make you pay for this!”
There was a hint of hatred in Yu Zhi’s eyes. As the host of an Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique and the West Ruler Matriarch’s inheritor, she had a bright future ahead and might have the chance to fight against the Immortal Hall one day.
…
In the Phoenix’s Nest, a figure dashed into the sky, surrounded by an ocean of burning Phoenix Flame that swept across the skies.
As the domineering aura filled the air, the surrounding mountains and rivers trembled.
“Chu Kuangren has fallen. I, Feng Qingtian, have nothing to fear anymore, and now is the time for me to emerge!”
Feng Qingtian looked at the endless sky with a fighting spirit in his eyes.
A newly-appointed Phoenix Maiden, Chu Hong, who was in closed-door meditation in Phoenix’s Nest, also learned about Chu Kuangren’s death.
“That’s impossible!”
“There’s no way my brother is dead!”
She was determined not to trust the news.
Even though everyone thought Chu Kuangren was dead, she believed he was still alive.
“I’ll put more effort into cultivating and wait for my brother’s return,” mumbled Chu Hong.
Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Golden Crow Mountain, a golden-red giant egg stood on the top of the mountain, and the surrounding spiritual qi was gus.h.i.+ng toward it like a torrent.
On that day, the giant egg cracked, and countless Golden Crow Flames roared out from it.
Soon, a figure walked out of it. Any sky-pride who had fought in the Interstellar Arena would recognize the person as the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather whom Chu Kuangren had killed.
“Chu Kuangren, I bet you never thought that a sliver of my consciousness was attached to this Golden Crow Daoist embryo. After you killed me, not only could I be reborn with the help of the Golden Crow Daoist embryo, but it has allowed me to obtain a more outstanding talent than before!” The Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather smiled as he sensed his new power surging in his body.
The Golden Crow Daoist embryo was the reward he obtained on the final floor of Holy Violet Emperor Planet’s Heavenly Dao Spires.
The Daoist embryo was the direct bloodline of the Golden Crow’s ancestor. Besides being powerful and having infinite potential, he was even more outstanding than the previous Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather.
Being able to be reborn with the help of the Daoist embryo, Chu Kuangren killing him was considered a blessing in disguise.
“Chu Kuangren is dead, and it’s now my chance to re-enter the world,” mumbled Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather.
After learning the news of Chu Kuangren’s death, Prodigies from all over the Immortal World had been emerging one after another.
When Chu Kuangren dominated the world, none of the Prodigies dared to emerge. Yet now, as the news of his fall spread, all of them appeared again to stir unnecessary drama.
