Chapter 1250: Smoldering Embers of Hope for the Future, the True Emperor Dragons, a Million Strong Underworld Army
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tushan and the Emerald Hill were plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
With all the True Immortals and Gilded Immortals from the six Beast Ruler Tribes deployed, the yokai fox forces from Fushan and the Emerald Hill were instantly overwhelmed.
Although the yokai fox tried to fend their enemies off, they still suffered many casualties.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions of Tushan and Emerald Hill were rushing into the depths of Tushan Mountain, where a teleportation camp was located.
Once activated, those sky-prides and Heavenly Champions would be transported out from Tushan Mountain right away.
They were all the beacon of hope for the future of the yokai foxes. As long as they survived, Emerald Hill and Tushan would never be wiped out.
“Quick. We’re almost there.”
The Ninth Elder, who was tasked to escort the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions, thought to himself as he looked at the teleportation camp that was coming into his view.
However, he did not dare to let his guard down.
The closer they were to their destination, the more they had to be on guard.
Sure enough, bursts of yokai energy fluctuations suddenly erupted from the void, and several young yokai cultivators walked out one after another.
Those yokai cultivators were not that powerful as they were only Heavenly Immortals. In fact, they were all Heavenly Champion sky-prides from the six Beast Ruler Tribes.
“Do you think you can escape so easily?” A sky-pride from the Golden Crow Tribe sneered.
“To get rid of weeds, one must dig up their roots. Today, not only will Tushan and Emerald Hill be annihilated, but their younger generation must also be wiped out. Don’t you even think of running away!”
The Nine-Headed Snakelet Tribe’s sky-prides looked at Tushan Fei Yu, Lil Fox, and others coldly.
The Ninth Elder took a deep breath. “I don’t care. Even if I’ll have to face the karmic repercussions today, I’ll put my life on the line to ensure your plan fails!”
His Gilded Immortal aura started flowing around his body.
However, at that moment, several more figures walked out of the void.
The one leading them was a Golden Crow Immortal. Judging from his aura, he was a Gilded Immortal as well!
“Why don’t you let the Heavenly Champion sky-prides settle things out by themselves, you old fox?” the leading Golden Crow Immortal said.
At that, the Ninth Elder’s heart sank.
It was clear that their enemies came prepared.
By sending a Gilded Immortal to keep him occupied, the remaining Heavenly Champion sky-prides of the six Beast Ruler Tribes would then gang up on the Tushan Fei Yu and others, completely ridding the yokai foxes of their future.
By letting the Heavenly Champion sky-prides do the work, the True Immortals and Gilded Immortals would not need to face the karmic repercussions.
“It looks like they’ve planned this out well.”
The Ninth Elder’s face turned grim, and he immediately attacked the leading Golden Crow Immortal with full force.
He wanted to quickly defeat the Golden Crow Immortal so that he could deal with the enemy’s Heavenly Immortal sky-prides. Only by doing that could he bring them out of that situation.
However, the Golden Crow Immortal also figured out his plan and sneered. “Do you think I’m going to make it that easy for you?!”
A bundle of Golden Crow Flame erupted.
With that, the two Gilded Immortals started their battle, while the remaining True Immortals surrounded the whole area to prevent Tushan Fei Yu and the others from escaping.
“We’ll have to fight for our lives then!”
Tushan Fei Yu took a deep breath. Rage filled her beautiful eyes. “I’ve been holding back my anger for too long!”
The other yokai foxes’ gazes were cold too.
“Attack!”
…
At Tushan Mountain, somewhere in a mountain range filled with restrictions and seals.
Dozens of Heavenly Immortals under the lead of a True Immortal were busy breaking through all those restrictions and seals so that they could venture deeper into the mountain range.
“Ha! I bet they must’ve stored something valuable here. I mean, look at all the restrictions and seals! Now that most of the yokai foxes are out in battle, this place seems to be left unguarded. Once we break through the seals and go deeper, we’ll certainly find something great!” Their leader, a True Immortal from the Nine-Headed Snakelet Tribe, said.
The yokai Immortals became excited upon hearing that.
Meanwhile, deep inside the mountain range, inside a cave, swirls of Immortal Sparks radiated, and countless Daoist patterns intertwined. Vaguely, a burst dragon’s roar sounded from the inside.
Chu Kuangren’s body was bathed in glittering Immortal Sparks as several golden True Dragons circled him, emanating an incomparably dignified and mighty aura.
It was as if he was the Emperor of all humanity — a higher being among all Immortals!
“These True Emperor Dragons manifested from cultivating the Ultimate Human Emperor Technique are truly extraordinary.”
Chu Kuangren opened his eyes and looked at the nine strands of dragon qi circling him with amazement.
Each of his True Emperor Dragons was only around thirty meters long and was still no match to King Zhou’s True Emperor Dragons, which were thousands of kilometers long.
However, it was already enough to strengthen Chu Kuangren at his current stage.
“Besides the True Emperor Dragons, I’ve also refined the Blooded Crimson Sword and the Blooded Crimson Armor, as well as perfected the Divine Myriad Yokai Mimicry Technique.”
Chu Kuangren let out a satisfied smile.
If his strength was already unmatched among the younger generation before this, it went without saying how powerful he was now.
He was already getting closer to the level of those older generations of elites.
Moreover, he was many times more talented compared to them.
He would surely surpass them all in the future one day.
“It’s time for me to break through my current cultivation level, I suppose,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Breaking through from the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the True Immortal Realm in a short time would require tons of resources.
However, with all the resources and items he got from the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave, breaking through to the True Immortal level should not be a problem.
Still, upon some pondering, Chu Kuangren changed his mind.
“To be on the safe side, I better regroup with my clone and get that mountain of resources he obtained from the Demonic Dao’s Ancestral Land before I ascend to the True Immortal Realm,” Chu Kuangren continued mumbling.
Then, he opened the Fantasy Roulette for his daily gacha roll.
“Congratulations, Host! You’ve won a God-tier reward, the Million Strong Underworld Army!”
‘The Million Strong Underworld Army?’
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
The fact that he had gotten a whole army caught him by surprise.
After obtaining the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army long ago, he had never received any similar reward from the Fantasy Roulette until today.
When he retrieved that reward, he felt a slight tremble from the Samsara Emperor Seal inside his body.
However, the Million Strong Underworld Army did not appear because it was stationed in Fengdu City instead!
“Interesting. Having the Underworld Army stationed in Fengdu City is not a bad idea. I can take this chance to have them rebuild the infrastructure there.”
Chu Kuangren looked at the description of the Million Strong Underworld Army.
As he read it, he was shocked.
Among the Million Strong Underworld Army, the ghouls ranged from Immortals to Gilded Immortals in its ranks!
Furthermore, there was also an Arch Gilded Immortal, who was a supreme being among Immortals.
He could not believe that a powerful being like that was under my command.
Not to mention the dozens of True Immortals and Gilded Immortals, it was simply terrifying.
Just that army alone was enough for him to wipe out a whole ancient immortal orthodoxy.
“The Five Ways Divine Shadow Army and the Million Strong Underworld Army are both similar. At first glance, the Million Strong Underworld Army may appear to be stronger, but the Five Ways Divine Shadow is an undying army, and it could also grow stronger as my cultivation increases. That trait alone makes it more frightening than the Million Strong Underworld Army, which doesn’t possess that trait.”
“Each Underworld Soldier in that army that dies will be gone for good.”
“Considering that fact alone, the Million Strong Underworld Army’s potential is far from the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army’s,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Then again, no matter how he thought about it, the Million Strong Underworld Army was still a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Hence, Chu Kuangren was still very satisfied.
“It’s time I end my closed-door meditation.”
He had achieved all his goals during the closed-door meditation session this time, so he was in a good mood, and he wore that happiness on his face.
However, it did not take long before his expression gradually turned grim.
He noticed dozens of auras approaching him at the moment.
“Those aren’t yokai foxes. That aura belongs to the nine-headed snakelets. Why are the Nine-Headed Snakelet Tribe here? And they’re publicly destroying my restrictions and seals?”
