A disheveled figure arrived at a mountain peak. Then, he instantly placed down several heavy layers of restrictions, hoping they would conceal his presence.
That person finally could not hold on any longer and fell onto the ground while coughing up mouthfuls of blood. His aura was incredibly weak.
It was none other than Shi Tianxuan.
Right now, he was covered in dust, mud, and his own blood. It was the most messed up he had ever been, with his Immortal body critically injured and most of the Daoist patterns engraved on it were shattered. His hair had come undone, adding more to his disheveled look, not to mention his severely weakened aura.
“Chu Kuangren…”
!!
“Damn it. Even with the Godkiller Spear, am I still not a match for him?”
“He hasn’t even pulled out the Black Annihilation Lotus yet!”
Shi Tianxuan gritted his teeth with a conflicted expression on his face. He was filled with anger and hatred toward Chu Kuangren yet also held a deep sense of fear and caution against him.
He understood that Chu Kuangren might not have used his full strength in the battle earlier.
At the very least, Chu Kuangren had not used the Innate Source Supreme Treasure, the Black Annihilation Lotus, which was a terrifying item on par with Shi Tianxuan’s Godkiller Spear.
Little did Shi Tianxuan know that he was battling Chu Kuangren’s clone all this while. After all, the Black Annihilation Lotus Shi Tianxuan was so fixated on was in the real Chu Kuangren’s possession.
However, it would be better for him not to learn of this. Otherwise, his mental state would have collapsed instantly.
If a clone of Chu Kuangren could already defeat him, what about the real Chu Kuangren?
He would not even dare to think about how terrifyingly strong Chu Kuangren could be.
“Now, that energy fluctuation that erupted during my battle with Chu Kuangren, did something happen?”
Shi Tianxuan looked into the distance where the conjurations originated and pondered.
Meanwhile, conjurations were happening in the four cardinal directions of the Holy Violet Emperor Planet, which were the North, South, East, and West respectively. The mysterious energy fluctuation soon traveled and enveloped the whole planet.
Every sky-pride and Heavenly Champion could not help but lookcuriously toward the source of the conjurations.
“It’s so powerful and mysterious… What’s causing this?”
“Has a great treasure appeared?”
“It’s happening in four directions as well. Can it be that four valuable treasures have appeared at the same time?”
While everyone was still confused about what was happening, countless Daoist patterns started gathering in the four cardinal directions of the Holy Violet Emperor Planet. Amidst the brilliance of light, four towering spires with conjurations swirling around them appeared out of nowhere!
The four spires had appeared in each of the four cardinal directions of the Holy Violet Emperor Planet.
Following that, Mysterious Daoist chimes reverberated throughout the planet. When the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions saw those four towering spires, they instantly understood something.
“These are the Holy Violet Heavenly Dao Spires!”
“These towering spires are manifested by the Holy Violet Emperor Planet’s Heavenly Dao. Anyone who passes the trials inside the Heavenly Dao Spire will receive great Opportunities of Fortune.”
Amazed, everyone started looking at the Heavenly Dao Spires with excitement.
The Holy Violet Emperor Planet possessed a Heavenly Dao of its own.
Since the Holy Violet Emperor Planet’s Heavenly Dao wanted to test the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions from all corners of the planet and propel the Battle of Heavenly Champions further, it created the four Heavenly Dao Spires!
The Heavenly Dao Spires consisted of nine hundred and ninety-nine floors.
For every nine floors, the challenger or cultivator would receive a treasure bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. Those who managed to reach the final nine hundred and ninety-ninth floor would even receive an ultimate Opportunity of Fortune!
At that thought, every sky-pride and Heavenly Champion present immediately took action by hurrying to the closest Heavenly Dao Spire.
Meanwhile, inside the Jiuli Tribe, Chu Kuangren also learned about the Heavenly Dao Spires. Naturally, he would never let an opportunity like that slip by.
However, he would first have to settle the Jiuli Tribe.
Since he obtained Chiyou’s inheritance and was even hailed as the savior of the Jiuli Tribe, he did not mind gaining their allegiance too.
The process was actually quite simple.
Having saved the Jiuli Tribe twice, he was already something like Chiyou’s emissary to them.
If he wished to do so, he could even make himself the Tribe Leader with the amount of support he had in the tribe.
After discussing with the Jiuli Tribe Leader for a whole night, the Jiuli Tribe Leader expressed his willingness to follow Chu Kuangren’s lead in the future.
“Since the Jiuli Tribe has pledged their allegiance to me, I shall never allow you to suffer in this entrapment anymore.”
“Once I become the Immortal World Ruler, I’ll save the Jiuli Tribe from the Holy Violet Emperor Planet, and your tribe shall no longer be bound in place in this vast universe!”
Chu Kuangren promised.
The Holy Violet Emperor Planet may seem like a great location for cultivation with its countless Opportunities of Fortune, but many of the older elite cultivators knew that the planet was their cage all along!
Wanting to decorate and diversify the beings on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet, the Holy Violet Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Hall captured many species and tribes of cultivators and settled them on the planet. Although he allowed them to prosper and grow without restraint, he placed restriction barriers all over the planet. Any living being born on the planet would never be allowed to leave, no matter how high their cultivation level was. The only exception to that was become more powerful than the Holy Violet Emperor.
The elites of the Holy Violet Emperor had dreamed of that day for a very long time.
After all, they had sacrificed almost everything just to obtain freedom.
With the Battle of Heavenly Champions happening, an opportunity had presented itself to the living beings on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet.
If they become Heavenly Champions by obtaining a will of the Immortal World, they could then leave the planet. Another way would be to support one of the existing Heavenly Champions, hoping that he or she would one day become the Immortal World Ruler and help free them from this planet.
The Jiuli Tribe could be said to have chosen the second method.
“Alright. It’s time I head to the Heavenly Dao Spire now,” Chu Kuangren murmured.
He was very interested in that location filled with Opportunities of Fortune. Perhaps he could gain quite a few valuable items from there.
Besides Chu Kuangren, Fu Yin, Shi Ying, and Li Fei also followed along.
That arrangement was made by the Jiuli Tribe Leader.
According to him, Li Fei was very talented but lacked experience. Hence, he hoped she could gain a thing or two by following him to the Heavenly Dao Spire.
However, Chu Kuangren knew very well that the Jiuli Tribe Leader was concerned Chu Kuangren would ignore the Jiuli Tribe once he left, and that was why he had Li Fei following Chu Kuangren by his side.
The best would be for Chu Kuangren’s impression of Li Fei to improve and possibly gain a special place in his heart. If Li Fei could get together with Chu Kuangren, the Jiuli Tribe would be in a good place. Then, the Jiuli Tribe would be even more important to Chu Kuangren.
Although Chu Kuangren noticed the Jiuli Tribe Leader’s intentions right away, he was not bothered about it.
Since the Jiuli Tribe had pledged their allegiance to him, he would not give up on them that easily.
The most talented and worthy person to be nurtured in the Jiuli Tribe was none other than Li Fei. In that case, Chu Kuangren would not mind helping her improve as she might be of some help to him in the future.
There were four Heavenly Dao Spires, each located in the North, South, East, and West of the Holy Violet Emperor Planet.
Chu Kuangren and his subordinates were heading to the East Heavenly Dao Spire.
When he arrived, many cultivators were already near the Heavenly Dao Spire.
“So this is the Heavenly Dao Spire? How extraordinary.”
A sky-pride, who was standing outside the Heavenly Dao Spire, could not help but feel amazed as he gazed upon those nine hundred and ninety-nine floors.
The Heavenly Dao Spire stood majestically from the ground, reaching into the sky. Billions of Immortal Sparks were glimmering all around it, with countless mysterious Daoist patterns carved all over the spire’s surface, making it seem very profound.
“I think it’s almost time for us to enter now.”
Some sky-prides were already eager to go in.
Whoosh…
Just then, a ray of light with an incredibly powerful Heavenly Dao aura approached. Wherever it passed, the surrounding terrain rumbled.
When some sky-prides saw who it was, they were shocked. “It’s Heavenly Daoist Tian!”
Heavenly Daoist Tian was one of the most well-known Prodigies in the Interstellar Arena. He was said to be one of the most powerful among them too.
“This Heavenly Dao Spire contains Heavenly Dao energy. To someone like me, this location is a huge Opportunity of Fortune!”
Heavenly Daoist Tian looked at the Heavenly Dao Spire with excitement.
Then, his figure disappeared into the Heavenly Dao Spire in a flash.
Besides him, sky-prides and Prodigies from everywhere also arrived.
A burst of dazzling Buddhist Light appeared in the sky as a Prodigy from a Buddhist orthodoxy arrived. He was dressed in a golden-red cassock and radiating with Buddhist Light. However, he was holding a huge saber surging with ferocious qi.
“It’s Monk Wujie of the Triumphant Pure Land!”
A black vortex appeared in the void.
Three young men with dark and gloomy Yin qi spreading from them walked out from the black vortex. They were the Yincao Underworld’s successors.
After that, purple light shone in the sky and spread everywhere.
A handsome young man approached proudly from within the purple light, emanating a noble and dignified aura.
“It’s him, the Little Heavenly Ruler from the Holy Violet Pavilion!” someone uttered with shock.
The Holy Violet Pavilion’s Little Heavenly Ruler was one of the most top-tier Prodigies on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet.
Besides the Holy Violet Pavilion’s Little Heavenly Ruler, a magnificent warship soon arrived from a distance. A young man dressed in dragon robes was standing on the warship’s deck. He had a very sharp gaze and exuded a domineering aura!
As he was also a top-tier Prodigy, his strength was on par with that of the Holy Violet Pavilion’s Little Heavenly Ruler.
He was the Qin clan’s Eldest Young Master, Qin Fengyun!
