Chapter 749: The Daoist Celestials Have Come, All-Out War, Chu Kuangren Fights King Bai
"I"d love to find out how you plan on killing me!"
Chu Kuangren said unfazed.
From the distance, a winged and white-robed Blood Tribe warrior descended from the sky.
The white-robed man was seething with a boundless majestic aura that could only have originated from an extraordinary cultivator.
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes. "It"s a Daoist Celestial!"
The person who came was a Daoist Celestial!
…
In the s.p.a.ce around Firmament Star.
Strong ripples of energies began to unfold over dozens of asteroids.
"The Blood Tribe Daoist Celestials are attacking!"
"Hmph, did they think we would just sit by and watch?"
"Let"s go!"
Rays of light vanished into the distance.
Their destination was set to Asteroid Sixty-Four.
However, there were a few asteroids that remained calm throughout the ordeal. In one of them, Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial was watering his plants. He muttered, "Oh, Chu Kuangren. Will you be able to survive this disaster?"
Chu Kuangren was facing a Daoist Celestial.
He was well aware of this.
However, just like Luo Shui and the Heavenly Tormentors, Chu Kuangren"s existence posed a threat to his status.
If it were not for the other Daoist Celestials and his own reputation at stake, he would have dealt with Chu Kuangren a long time ago.
Now that the Blood Tribe was attempting to kill Chu Kuangren, he saw no reason to stop it.
Few of the twenty-four Daoist Celestials were loyal to the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial. Hence, they knew his stance on such an issue and chose not to interfere as well.
As for the other Daoist Celestials who joined the war, the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial could not care less about them.
Rays of lights flashed across the universe.
The Daoist Celestials were fast ent.i.ties. In a few breaths" time, they had traversed more than ten billion kilometers to arrive at Asteroid Sixty-Four"s...o...b..t.
However, they arrived to find the outer orbit of the asteroid surrounded by countless layers of Daoist patterns that formed a golden barrier, sealing anyone from entering.
"Destroy it!"
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial snorted.
Just as the Daoist Celestials were prepared to attack, dozens of energy fluctuations erupted around them. Amid the chaos, a crimson light pillar, infused with boundless Emperor qi and Daoist patterns, charged right at the Transcendental Daoist Celestial.
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial was blasted several hundred meters away.
He looked into the distance and saw more than a dozen figures appearing outside of the golden barrier, each of them seething with the energy level of a Daoist Celestial.
"It"s the thirteen Blood Kings!"
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial turned solemn.
They had company. Apart from the thirteen Blood Kings, there were also other unknown Daoist Celestials within the group, reaching a total of eighteen Daoist Celestials.
There were eighteen of them!
The Blood Tribe was going all out in this operation.
"Looks like you"re going big on this mission just for the sake of killing Chu Kuangren. This must be all of your Daoist Celestials."
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial said.
"As long as Chu Kuangren"s alive, how can the Blood Tribe relax?"
The Ardent King replied coldly.
Chu Kuangren"s threat was too overwhelming for the Blood Tribe.
In fact, if Chu Kuangren were to be left alive, it would not take long before the Blood Tribe lose all possibilities of invading Firmament Star.
They might even be counter-invaded themselves!
If so, how could the Blood Kings possibly remain patient?
The entire Blood Tribe could no longer sit while Chu Kuangren grew stronger day after day!
"It"s an all-out battle then!"
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial groaned.
Without speaking further, he lifted his hand, and lines of Daoist patterns diverged from his palm and covered half of the universe.
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial then lifted a finger. Daoist patterns reconverged and formed an enormous finger shadow that locked its endless energies onto the Ardent King!
The Ardent King snorted and retaliated with a fist technique!
A loud explosion ensued!
The Daoist Celestials produced such destruction that many asteroids within a hundred million kilometers were ravaged and destroyed by a powerful energy storm.
"Attack!"
The remaining Daoist Celestials joined the battle too.
Within moments, the dark, quiet universe was lit by myriads of lights.
Sparks and explosions of different spectrums colored the s.p.a.ce!
…
In Asteroid Sixty-Four.
Chu Kuangren was facing a Daoist Celestial.
Lil Ai, the Omniscient Spirit, was activated.
"a.n.a.lyzing target..."
Soon, Chu Kuangren knew just who the Daoist Celestial before him was.
"Oh, you"re Bai Juexin"s father, also known as King Bai of the Blood Tribe. Heh, I didn"t think you"d come and seek vengeance personally." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
"I"m surprised you"re still laughing."
King Bai said unfazed.
"Why wouldn"t I be? Today"s the day I can finally fight my first Daoist Celestial. What a memorable day this is!"
Chu Kuangren"s eye began to light up with a long-lost battle intent, and his body exploded with months worth of acc.u.mulated battle intents!
The entire asteroid shuddered under his power. Even King Bai was caught by surprise. "An impressive battle intent. But although this is your first time battling a Daoist Celestial, it"ll also be your last!"
Similarly, King Bai unleashed a wave of powerful killing intent. It was so cold that it could send a chilling sensation right into one"s bones.
This battle was fought not only for his son but for the Blood Tribe"s future as well!
No matter his purpose, Chu Kuangren must not exist any longer.
"Bring it on!"
Chu Kuangren"s Self Descendant Sword unsheathed from its handle while King Bai took out an enormous battle axe!
It was a maroon axe carved with delicate Daoist patterns. When Chu Kuangren"s sword clanked with King Bai"s axe, a terrifying shock wave unleashed and tore through more than half of Asteroid Sixty-Four!
Amid the explosion, Chu Kuangren could hear an audible crack.
A crack had appeared on the blade of his Self Descendant Sword!
Chu Kuangren was appalled.
The Self Descendant Sword was his battle companion for many years and had accompanied him to break through many realms. It had never been damaged in battle thus far, so Chu Kuangren did not expect this to happen during his first exchange with a Daoist Celestial.
Chu Kuangren clenched his left fist, channeling the energies of his Stellar Undying Body to its limit, and punched King Bai away.
He then stored the Self Descendant Sword away.
"Your weapon is too weak!" King Bai snorted. His maroon axe was still seething with a terrifying aura.
That was a Daoist Weapon!
"Heh, looks like my weapons are beginning to fall behind."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Then, he repositioned himself.
With a lift of his hands, the natural spiritual energies gathered towards him, and a giant colorful rune manifested in the realm. It was the Everchanging Nine Dragon Rune!
The rune acc.u.mulated the spiritual energies of this realm before it transformed into a multicolored dragon qi that merged into Chu Kuangren"s body.
This move had allowed Chu Kuangren to absorb all of the spiritual energies within one hundred million kilometers radius of Asteroid Sixty-Four for himself!
The reinforcement of the dragon qi significantly strengthened Chu Kuangren"s aura!
"Almighty Avatar!"
The Almighty Avatar was summoned into battle, spanning more than ten thousand meters tall as its magnificent aura penetrated through the clouds. Under its power, the entire Asteroid Sixty Four began to collapse. Enormous geysers and molten lava burst out of the asteroid"s surface…
"Come, again!"
Chu Kuangren controlled the Almighty Avatar and punched forward!
King Bai retaliated by swinging his battle axe into the Almighty Avatar, unleas.h.i.+ng a sharp axe ray that was composed of many Daoist patterns.
As the opposing energies collided, the asteroid could not hold it any longer.
A loud explosion erupted.
The entire asteroid imploded and was reduced into countless pieces of debris!
However, the golden barrier in the orbit did not fade away. Chu Kuangren and King Bai were still contained within.
It was a battlefield destined to host the two of them.
