Chapter 1014 Surrounded, Geniuses and Talented Ones of My Generation, an Immortal’s Ascension
Inside the academy, the Dean of the academy was caressing the Immortal Stork next to him. Suddenly, a cold gaze flashed across his eyes. “Oh, someone is seeking to kill a Master of my academy.”
He could ignore Chu Kuangren’s battle with the Saber Crown. After all, that was Chu Kuangren’s fight.
However, now that the cultivators from many immortal orthodoxies were going to kill Chu Kuangren, the academy’s Dean would not sit idly by and allow that to happen no matter how indifferent he was to the affairs of the world.
He slowly stood up. His vast and dense Immortal’s Core swept across the surroundings like a raging tsunami, causing the void and surrounding terrain to rumble. Just as he was about to do something, a huge sun suddenly rose from the horizon in the distance. It instantly scorched everything within a million-kilometer radius. As the ground cracked, every single drop of water within the area evaporated.
“Dean of the academy, I’ve come to mentally spar with you.” An apathetic voice rang out.
The Dean’s pupils narrowed. “So it’s you, huh? Ruler of the Yokai Hall!”
Gong Yue smiled. “Yokai Ruler, if it’s a mental sparring match you seek, why don’t you allow me the honor to do so?”.
“Ha! It’s been a long time, Jade Clarity Immortal Sect Master. We have much catching up to do, don’t you think?”
A chuckle rang out from afar. The figure of a green dragon flew towards them and then turned into a green-robed man upon arrival. “The Divine Dragon Island’s Azure Dragon Ruler!” Gong Yue’s gaze narrowed. “Interesting. It looks like the yokais are really hell-bent on killing Brother Chu.”
“We’re only interested in something that he has.” The Azure Dragon Ruler smiled.
The Divine Dragon Island wanted Chu Kuangren’s Cloud Nine Insignia and Dragon-Binding Lasso. On the other hand, the Yokai Hall hoped to get back their Azure Phoenix Mirror and discover the secrets Chu Kuangren had. Inside the academy, the Dean and Gong Yue were held back.
However, the other Masters were also held back by the Immortals from the Yokai Hall and Divine Dragon Island. None of them could go to the Slumbering Sword Ocean in time to help.
Meanwhile, in Slumbering Sword Ocean, Chu Kuangren was facing a crowd of Immortals alone.
The first to attack was the Spear Crown.
He managed to push Chu Kuangren back with his attack, which made everyone realize that Chu Kuangren was now severely exhausted after his battle with the Saber Crown.
Otherwise, he would not be forced back by the Spear Crown’s attack like that.
“Amitabha. Venerable one, you’ve killed many high monks from my Golden Ridge Temple. These violent and demonic acts of murder shall not be allowed to continue any longer. Today, I shall carry out this act of judgment on behalf of the heavens.”
The next person to attack after the Spear Crown was an Arhat from the Golden Ridge Temple.
With a grunt, surges of Buddhist Light emerged around his body and turned into a huge Buddha avatar in the void that charged toward Chu Kuangren.
Seeing that, Chu Kuangren formed a sword hand sign and cast his Thousand Lotus Sword Intent. It directly blasted the Buddha Avatar away, but he too was forced back again.
Then, he felt a terrifying heat coming from his back as a bundle of flames was heading toward him.
Chu Kuangren quickly retaliated with a backward stroke.
His sword qi and the divine flames collided, sending bursts of airwaves everywhere. It was the Sunfall Immortal.
Following that, several yokai beasts suddenly appeared above him from out of nowhere, blocking his path of escape.
The ones leading the attack were the Golden Crow Guardians.
In the meantime, the saber cultivators of Slumbering Sword Ocean attacked under the leadership of their Immortals to block Chu Kuangren’s path along with the yokai.
“Appear, my Holy City Enforcers!” The Spear Crown waved his spear and said coldly.
“Yes, my lord!” A cold shout came from the void.
The enforcers soon walked out from the void one by one. All of them were exuding auras that either belonged to a Pseudo Immortal or a Half-Immortal.
Somewhere else, a dragon’s roar rang aloud through the whole area.
A few dragons appeared and took their human form. All of them were Dragon Immortals.
The one at their lead was a green-haired Dragon Immortal, the Azure Dragon Elder. His aura was the strongest among them, clearly more powerful than any ordinary Immortal. Undoubtedly, that person was an Earthen Immortal!
“Chu Kuangren, no one is coming to save you now. With the Sword Crown still locked up beneath the Slumbering Sword Ocean and the Hundred Academy being held back by the Dragon Ruler and Yokai Ruler, there’s no way you can escape now,” the Azure Dragon Elder said calmly.
He was staring at Chu Kuangren, trying to figure out what kind of emotions he would show. However, Chu Kuangren appeared calm, as if whatever was happening was not a surprise or shock to him at all.
Although he was not shocked, it did not mean the other felt the same.
Everyone thought that today would only be a battle between Chu Kuangren and the Sword Crown, but never did they expect a bigger battle to happen. The huge lineup was far beyond their imaginations.
“By the heavens, how many orthodoxies are there?”
“Are all of these people gathered here just to defeat Chu Kuangren? What did Chu Kuangren do to deserve this?”. The onlookers were all shocked.
Besides the onlookers who came to the Slumbering Sword Ocean, most of the people in the Planquilon Immortal World had also sensed the commotion happening there.
Eventually, countless Emperor Thoughts and Immortal Consciousness arrived at the scene. When they saw what was happening, everyone gulped in fear.
‘Such a huge lineup just to defeat Chu Kuangren?’
‘Are you kidding me?’
‘Is this really necessary?’
Back in Slumbering Sword Ocean, Chu Kuangren swept his gaze across everyone at the scene. Then, he chuckled. “Oh my, what a huge group. The Holy Divine Fire Cult, Golden Ridge Temple, Holy City, Divine Dragon Island, the honorable Yokai Hall, and even the crumbling Slumbering Sword Ocean, huh? Are you guys really that afraid of me?”
The hearts of those orthodoxies’ Immortals sank.
Frankly speaking, they were afraid of Chu Kuangren. Although he had yet to become an Immortal, his techniques and combat prowess terrified even Immortals like them.
Otherwise, they would have taken all the secrets and treasures Chu Kuangren had a long time ago. Why would they have to wait until now?
“Chu Kuangren, I know you have a few Immortal Weapons that you haven’t used. However, in the face of a battle of such scale, not even those Immortal Weapons can save you!” the Sunfall Immortal said coldly.
“Let’s not waste any more time. Enforcers, kill him!” The Spear Crown grunted. “Everyone, let’s avenge our Sect Master and kill this b*st*rd!” The saber cultivators of the Slumbering Sword Ocean yelled and charged forward together.
“Attack.” Commander Moya waved his arm, prompting a huge group of yokai behind him to immediately rush towards Chu Kuangren, seeking to tear him apart.
Against such an unprecedented attack, Chu Kuangren simply waved his sleeves, and a lavender guqin appeared before him.
The guqin was gleaming with Immortal Sparks, and its powerful Immortal Weapon energy fluctuation emanated into the air.
“That’s the Cloud Nine Insignia!” The Azure Dragon Elder’s eyes lit up.
That weapon was one of the reasons why they came.
“Hmph. Even if he has the Cloud Nine Insignia, how much of its power can he possibly summon at this state?” The Sunfall Immortal snorted.
At that moment, a clear and crisp voice sounded.
“Oh, geniuses and talented ones of my generation.”
Chu Kuangren waved his sleeves, and his Immortal Consciousness turned into mind power that merged with his source energy. With that, the first wave of incoming attacks toward him disintegrated.
“How time and experience molds even you
all.”
His fingers were now on the guqin strings as if he was tuning it. With a loud clang, magnificent bursts of sound waves spread outward and crushed the saber cultivators mercilessly, their severed limbs dancing in the air.
“Oh, nonsensical ideas, ambitious goals. Remain in chatter they shall. Eventual disappointment follows, so what if you have the gall. Oh, just do whatever from the very start. You might as well.”
Chu Kuangren then took out a pill and ate it.
At that instant, the severely exhausted source energy within him recovered rapidly and returned him to his peak form.
Besides that, the Source inside him grew and became complete. In the end, it transformed into an incomparably dense and endless Immortal’s Core!
wa
His guqin music had not yet sounded, but a wave of Immortal’s Core energy from his body alone wasenough to blow up the cultivators who got close to him.
The cultivators at the scene were stunned!
“This… How is this possible!”
“Immortal’s Core… That’s an Immortal’s Core!”
The Azure Dragon Elder, the Spear Crown, the Sunfall Immortal, and others were dumbfounded
None of them had expected that Chu Kuangren would suddenly become an Immortal at that moment!
