Chapter 1072: The Merging of Physiques, Closed-Door Meditation Complete, Defeating the Immortal Retribution With a Single Slash
“How did you know the true form of this object?!” He Yun, beside him, was shocked.
Even for someone like him, it took him many years of being within the Qingzhou Cauldron to realize its true form. However, Chu Kuangren had identified it right away.
“I can’t believe you guys have been using a Humanity Fortune Treasure to conduct alchemy. This is truly a waste of this item’s potential,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
With the Jizhou Cauldron in his inventory, he had noticed it the moment he saw the Qingzhou Cauldron.
Besides, there was no way he could not find out with the Omniscient Spirit.
He observed the Qingzhou Cauldron in detail. Compared to the Jizhou Cauldron, the Qingzhou Cauldron was in a better condition as it had suffered lesser damage. If he could refine the item, he could surely use some of its power.
However, it would be a monumental task to refine a Humanity Fortune Treasure as the individual must first possess some level of human fortune, to begin with.
As the King of Firmament Star, the human fortune within Chu Kuangren had grown considerably since the humans of his planet were now busy expanding their territory and influence. The level of his human fortune was far greater than before, making him even more eligible to refine this.
Furthermore, he could even restore the broken Jizhou Cauldron with time with his own human fortune.
“If I can restore these two Nine Provinces Cauldrons to their original state and unleash their power with my current human fortune level, I wonder what kind of power I can display,” Chu Kuangren mumbled with an excited look in his eyes.
He already had a Humanity Fortune Treasure, which was the Human King Seal. However, it paled in comparison to the Nine Provinces Cauldrons. After all, they were Humanity Fortune Treasures made back in the ancient Immortal era, back when the Human Emperor was at his prime. Due to that, the treasures were said to be on par with even the Source Supreme Treasure.
Since the Human King Seal was still developing, it might even grow into a Humanity Fortune Treasure on par with the Nine Provinces Cauldrons.
Following that,Chu Kuangren refined the Scorching Silent Flame inside the Qingzhou Cauldron with his Phoenix’s Flame.
Standing beside him, He Yun could not help but exclaim in shock when he saw the Phoenix’s Flame. “How is it that you can use the Phoenix’s Flame?!”
He Yun thought that the person before him was too extraordinary as his cultivation level and techniques were full of mysteries.
Chu Kuangren could sense that his Phoenix’s Flame had gotten stronger after refining the Scorching Silent Flame and that, having absorbed so many different flames, his Phoenix’s Flame was no longer an ordinary Phoenix’s Flame.
“The trait of devouring all flames is unique only to the Phoenix’s Flame. Devouring and gathering all flames into one is perhaps the true path for cultivating the Phoenix’s Flame,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Then, he looked at the Golden Dragon Young Master’s head strangely. “I can’t believe a True Dragon’s physique can be merged with a Godly Phoenix’s Physique. Interesting indeed. Let’s find out how to.”
Although the Golden Dragon Young Master was not a significant foe to Chu Kuangren, his Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique had presented him with a few ideas.
Perhaps that was the next breakthrough he needed in researching the Tome of Physiques.
After increasing his Immortal Soul level, Chu Kuangren went into another closed-door meditation session for two years. Throughout that time, he did many things.
He had refined the Scorching Silent Flame, fully restored and refined the Nine Province Cauldrons, analyzed and studied the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique, and conducted further research on the Tome of Physiques.
With that, he had improved and obtained many findings, especially on the research front regarding the physiques. He had finally found the next step of cultivation through analyzing the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique.
It was to merge all physiques into one!
From what he could tell, that was the final goal of the Tome of Physiques.
Merging all physiques into one to create an unparalleled, never-before-seen ultimate physique!
…
Boom!
On this very day, large amounts of spiritual qi suddenly gathered in the skies above the Hundred Academy and turned into a gigantic spiritual qi vortex.
Lightning crackled while thunder boomed within that vortex. It was as if an existence that was absolutely unacceptable to this world had been born.
The phenomena startled the Eldest Master, Dean, and others.
“What is going on?!”
“This seems to be… an Immortal Retribution!” The Eldest Master looked at the spiritual qi vortex in the sky and exclaimed.
Those who wished to become an Immortal must first undergo the Three Disasters and Nine Dooms.
However, there was something higher in existence than the Three Disasters and Nine Dooms. It was known as the Immortal Retribution, whose power was far beyond that of the Three Disasters and Nine Dooms!
“Rumors have it that the Immortal Retribution is a very rare occurrence. It will only appear when the will of the Immortal World detects something that threatens it. It has been countless years since an Immortal Retribution has happened in Planquilon Immortal World.”
“W-What the heck is happening?”
“What is Master Chu up to again? He has not even gone through the Three Disasters and Nine Dooms yet. Why has he brought upon an Immortal Retribution?!”
Everyone was incredibly puzzled and confused.
In the meantime, the lightning energy within the spiritual qi vortex was getting stronger. Its heavenly might was so menacing that even the Dean felt slightly threatened.
“Brother Chu is only an Earthen Immortal. Even if he did create something that can threaten the will of the Immortal World, I don’t think it’s reasonable to lead to such a horrifying Immortal Retribution. Unless… the very thing he made is just too out of this world?”
The Dean mumbled to himself, ‘How out of this world must this thing be for an Earthen Immortal to bring upon such a terrifying Immortal Retribution?’
“I can’t stand it. It’s just too noisy outside.”
At that moment, a cold voice came from one of the rooms.
A familiar figure in white robes walked out slowly. However, Chu Kuangren’s aura this time truly stunned everyone, and there was a look of horror in their eyes.
He stood proudly, with Immortal Sparks emanating from his body and countless Daoist patterns swirling around him. His aura was so powerful that every sword within a ten million kilometer radius trembled violently. That was the aura of a Sword Dao Immortal Physique…
However, that was not the only aura spreading everywhere!
An aura of darkness surged. It was dark and deep like a bottomless abyss. That was the fluctuation of a Darkness Immortal Physique.
A mighty, pure, and bright light filled with warmth soon followed, as if a god had descended upon mankind. That was the Radiant War Immortal Physique.
Roars and cries of dragons and phoenixes rang out. That was the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique.
A flaming light radiated like a bright sun while freezing qi spread everywhere as if an ancient iceberg had appeared. Then, surges of ferocious qi soared into the skies as if a supreme war god was arriving…
Immortal Physique fluctuations that everyone was either familiar or unfamiliar with started to emerge from Chu Kuangren’s body, one after another.
His aura was just too complex and mighty that everyone thought Chu Kuangren had become the source of all physiques in this world.
Even the Dean was shocked by that.
He could not comprehend what was happening before him nor why Chu Kuangren could have so many different physiques in the first place.
However, an even more shocking thing followed after.
The energy fluctuation of countless different physiques from Chu Kuangren’s body quickly converged into an incomparably vast, mighty, and supreme Daoist Physique energy fluctuation. It was far more powerful than all the previous Daoist Physiques combined.
Everyone felt as if Chu Kuangren had turned into a supreme Immortal King as every movement he made could throw the balance of the world into disarray. It was extremely terrifying.
The moment Chu Kuangren’s countless physiques combined, the lightning inside the spiritual qi vortex in the sky became even more terrifying. A gigantic bolt of lightning came crashing down in the form of a lightning dragon that could end the world.
Chu Kuangren stood still and said, “How noisy.”
With a clang, a sword ray instantly shot out from the sword, and its dazzling purple light soared into the sky!
That incoming lightning dragon was instantly shattered like it was nothing!
The sword ray shot further into the spiritual vortex, tearing it apart brutally. A gigantic rift that was tens of thousands of kilometers wide tore open amongst the clouds!
It was as if the heavens were split into half.
The spiritual qi vortex immediately crumbled under the sword qi attack.
Chu Kuangren defeated the Immortal Retribution with a single slash!
