Chapter 879: A Heavenly Daoist Celestial’s Self-Destruction, the Great Battle Ends
In the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom.
Chu Kuangren had defeated the Holy Violet Temple Lord’s clone with a swing of his sword. During that fight, the variety of techniques he used had stunned everyone.
“Did he just use a time-based technique? How many trump cards does this guy have?”
“This is simply terrifying.”
“He seems to have an endless arsenal of techniques and even divine abilities. How did this guy even manage to cultivate all of it to this level? He’s only forty years old, for heaven’s sake!”
Planet Zi’s Sky Guardian, the Black and White Star Duo, and others were very frightened.
After killing the Holy Violet Temple Lord’s clone, Chu Kuangren came before Zi Xiao, Planet Zi’s First Seat, and unleashed a punch without a second thought. In a split second, Zi Xiao’s body exploded!
The First Seat of Planet Zi was dead!
“Retreat!”
Planet Zi’s Sky Guardian said through gritted teeth.
Chu Kuangren could already kill a late-stage Heavenly Daoist Celestial at his current strength. With the Godly Moon Daoist Celestial, Yang Xiao, and others around as well, it was clear that Planet Zi’s forces were utterly defeated. None of them were able to kill him at all.
The only thing they could do now was to retreat!
“Going so soon? I don’t think so.”
Chu Kuangren’s gaze locked onto the Black and White Star duo. His figure disappeared in a flash and arrived in front of them, where he unleashed his Imperial Monarch Sword Art right away!
The Grand Emperor Avatar manifested!
The sword shadow in its grasp then came crashing down upon them!
The White Star of the Black and White Star duo let out a cry and gathered a bunch of starlights, turning them into a gorgeous starlight river before she attacked.
However, her attack could not stop the Grand Emperor’s sword at all!
The river of starlight was quickly destroyed!
Following a scream, the White Star was brutally torn into two by the sword shadow.
“Lian’er!”
The Black Star roared upon seeing that, his eyes wide with sorrow.
“You’re f*cking going down with me!”
Staring daggers at Chu Kuangren, the Black Star channeled his Emperor qi to the maximum with grief and rage. Soon, his body was emanating with countless mysterious Daoist patterns.
As the Daoist patterns swirled, strands of starlight started gathering around him.
As if he had turned into a planet, the Black Star immediately charged towards Chu Kuangren, seeking to perish with him!
“I’m bringing you down with me no matter what! Crumbling Planetary Self Destruction!”
Along with a great roar, the Black Star’s body started to swell and expand as he got closer to Chu Kuangren.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion erupted.
Shockwaves from the explosion spread in all directions, affecting planets as far as millions of kilometers away in space. A great portion of the void crumbled, and countless cultivators died from being caught in that explosion.
The explosion of a self-destructing Heavenly Daoist Celestial was truly horrifying.
However, many cultivators were curious about the situation at the heart of the explosion.
“I bet that guy must be dead by now.”
The Planet Zi cultivators could not help but feel excited about that.
Nevertheless, once the dust settled, smoke dispersed, and energy fluctuations dwindled, everyone was greeted by an extremely shocking sight at the center of the explosion. Amidst the smoke and dust, a white figure stood in the air as if an otherworldly Immortal had descended.
It was none other than Chu Kuangren!
He had no injury on him at all.
“A Heavenly Daoist Celestial’s self-destruction can’t even hurt him?!”
“H-How is this even possible?!”
“No, no. This is impossible. How can he be so powerful? How can a Heavenly Daoist Celestial’s self-destruction not hurt him at all?”
The Planet Zi cultivators were in utter disbelief.
Meanwhile, standing amidst the energy storms caused by the explosion earlier, Chu Kuangren merely patted his chest and said apathetically, “So he chose self-destruction, huh? Only a meaningless death awaits such a fool.”
The explosion of a self-destructing Heavenly Daoist Celestial was undoubtedly terrifying.
Even with the Heavenly Daoist Weapon protecting him, Chu Kuangren was still greatly affected by the impact of that explosion. However, it only caused minor injuries to his Stellar Undying Body — injuries that his Immortal Body could heal in a second.
“He’s a monster…”
One of the Daoist Celestials gulped in fear.
Indeed.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren was no different than a monster to them.
‘What kind of sky-pride or Immortal Progeny possesses such power at forty years old?’
‘This guy is a freaking monster!’
“Out of my way!”
The Planet Zi cultivators panicked and started to escape.
Upon seeing that, thousands of sword qi emanated from Chu Kuangren’s body and rained down on the battlefield, where the thousands of sword qi transformed into clones.
The sword qi clones hunted down every one of the Planet Zi cultivators.
Endless death and casualties would follow wherever the sword qi clones went!
That slaughter lasted for one whole day.
Only a tenth of the Planet Zi cultivators remained after that. Even those people had no idea how they survived such a terrifying situation.
It was just too scary.
Upon recalling Chu Kuangren’s face, they shuddered in fear.
Ever since that day, Chu Kuangren had become their nightmare.
As for the cultivators watching the battle, they swore never to forget everything that happened that day for the rest of their lives.
He alone could stop an entire army!
He alone slaughtered Planet Zi’s forces to the point of total annihilation!
The glory and feats that person alone had achieved could light up the whole galaxy!
On the battlefield, Chu Kuangren’s sword qi clones were soon dispersed one by one.
Following that, his aura gradually dwindled and became weaker. As the effects of the Everchanging Nine Dragon Rune faded away, he soon returned to the late-stage Great Daoist Celestial Realm.
However, no one in his surroundings dared to underestimate him.
It was because that Great Daoist Celestial had killed four Heavenly Daoist Celestials on his own before their very eyes!
Among the four included a late-stage Heavenly Daoist Celestial too.
“Brother Chu, are you alright?”
The Godly Moon Daoist Celestial went up to him and asked.
“I’m feeling great.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Looking at the ruined Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom, Chu Kuangren expressed his apology. “Brother Godly Moon, I’m sorry for dragging the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom into this—”
“It’s alright, Brother Chu. It’s just a city, after all.”
The Godly Moon Daoist Celestial waved his hand, clearly not bothered by that. “Before Planet Zi’s great army arrived, most of the cultivators in this city had evacuated and escaped. Thus, this city is the only thing that’s damaged, so don’t worry. We’ll just rebuild our city.”
At that, Chu Kuangren nodded. “Don’t worry, Brother Godly Moon. I’ll surely help you with rebuilding a more magnificent Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom than before!”
He then looked into the stars with a chilling gaze. “It’s only fair for Planet Zi to be the main sponsor for this.”
Everyone could not help feeling a chill run down their spine.
That was when they recalled Chu Kuangren declaring war against Planet Zi earlier.
“Brother Chu, are you really going to Planet Zi?”
The Godly Moon Daoist Celestial asked.
“That’s right. Planet Zi has caused me too much trouble. They even dared to destroy my Firmament Star too. I will make them pay for this.”
“Planet Zi has reigned supreme in the Violet Gold Galaxy for countless years. Their background and foundations are not something to be taken lightly. Besides, I heard that they have Pseudo Immortals in their ranks, too. Brother Chu, I know you’re very powerful now, but I’m afraid you’ll still come short in your fight against Planet Zi.”
The Godly Moon Daoist Celestial tried to offer his advice. From what he could tell, Chu Kuangren, with his current strength, was already at the pinnacle of power in the Violet Gold Galaxy. However, in the face of a civilization like Planet Zi that possessed the resources and connections to boot, he would still pale in comparison.
“Don’t worry, Brother Godly Moon. I’m well aware of this, and I won’t make my way there now either. For now, I will leave the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom for a while and make my move when the perfect opportunity arises.”
Chu Kuangren explained. He understood the level of danger and the threat he had to put himself in to face an entire civilization alone.
Before he was completely sure, he would never act hastily.
After that, Chu Kuangren then looked at Yang Xiao and the others.
“Everyone, I will remember the act of kindness that you guys have shown me today.”
He said with a fist salute.
“Don’t sweat it, Brother Chu. We’re only here to return a favor to the Dusty Sky Pseudo Immortal.”
“That’s right. Senior Dusty Sky forged a sword for me many years ago. And today, I’ve finally repaid that favor to him.”
“Since I’ve returned this favor, my mind is clear. I shall go into closed-door meditation, and I’m certain I can break through my bottleneck this time.”
Everyone continued talking.
“Brother Chu, now that the Planet Zi matter is almost resolved, it’s time we leave too. You can come and visit my Heavenly Sword Sect whenever you’re free. I will definitely welcome you with open arms.”
Yang Xiao chuckled.
With that, he turned around and left.
The others left as well..
