1841 The Central Heaven Temple’s Sky-Prides and Prodigies, the Bloodthirsty Blade, Lin Wubing
In Central Heaven Universe, inside the Central Heaven Temple, the God Kings of the universe had gathered together. They were discussing the Void Battlefield’s reappearance with looks of excitement on their faces.
“Everyone, the opportunity we’ve been waiting for has come!”
“That’s right. So many years have passed since then. Now that the Nine Kings of the Central Heaven Universe have appeared, they may be the key to conquering Pan Gu Universe once and for all. Let’s deploy them to the Void Battlefield.”
“The Void Battlefield is filled with dangers everywhere. Is this the right time to send them there?”
“Ha! The more danger, the better. After all, the Nine Kings are extraordinary individuals. Only by braving the most extreme of perils will their true potential shine.”
!!
“I believe that once they go to the Void Battlefield, the Nine Kings will cause Pan Gu Universe’s sky-prides and Prodigies to tremble with fear!”
The God Kings’ discussion became increasingly heated. They could imagine the Nine Kings rising against the enemy and conquering Pan Gu Universe.
“What about the Heavenly Sword?” Di Feitian said calmly.
Everyone froze upon hearing him, and they started to ponder. ‘The Heavenly Sword, huh? That truly is a troublesome name indeed…’
“The Heavenly Sword possesses extraordinary power compared to even the Nine Kings. He may be an even more terrifying trump card for our universe!” the Temple’s Right Guardian, God King Sikong said.
…
Inside the Central Heaven Temple, news of the Void Battlefield appearing had spread everywhere.
Just like their Pan Gu Universe counterparts, the sky-prides and Prodigies in the Central Heaven Temple were looking forward to showing off their abilities there.
For countless years, the cultivators of the two universes had been at war in the Void Battlefield. Countless elites had fallen inside that place, including Embodiers and God Kings.
As their battles always got too out of hand, the forces of the two universes would always be forced to withdraw their troops to prevent further losses. Hence, the Void Battlefield was temporarily closed.
However, things changed with the appearance of an individual known as Wu Han, who emerged from Pan Gu Universe’s Celestial Demon Tribe and single-handedly fended off the Central Heaven Universe’s invasion every time.
That caused a huge delay in the Central Heaven Universe’s plans.
Now that the Void Battlefield had opened, the Central Heaven Universe just so happened to have amassed its forces. Besides, the prophesized Nine Kings had also appeared, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack.
Everyone was extremely eager to take action now.
At a mountain peak with stormy clouds surrounding it, the Storm Queen, Feng Qiyu looked into the void in the distance with delight in her eyes. “Before I reincarnated, I had heard many things about this Void Battlefield. Now, I finally have a chance to check it out.”
The last time the Void Battlefield opened was countless eras ago.
Even Feng Qiyu had never gone there before in her past life.
This time, she wanted to explore the place properly. Perhaps she would even find a treasure or two in there.
Those were strands of Emperor qi.
The person living in that mountain peak was none other than the former Eight Seat but now the current Fourth Seat of the Temple Sequence, the Emperor Tribe’s Di Qianqiu!
At that time, Di Qianqiu was sitting with his legs crossed in mid-air. His Emperor qi was several times stronger than compared to dozens of years ago.
He suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a terrifying flash of light within them. Besides that, his eyes now contain two pupils. It was the Emperor’s Double Pupils!
A vague mysterious rune flashed in his eyes.
It was the King’s Mark!
Dozens of years ago, Chu Kuangren killed the former Fourth Seat, Di Baishi. However, he left behind the Emperor’s Double Pupils and King’s Mark when he died.
That made things very easy for Di Qianqiu.
After refining the two items, he immediately took Di Baishi’s place and became the Temple Sequence’s Fourth Seat.
“Now that I’ve fully refined the Emperor’s Double Pupils and King’s Mark, my Emperor Arch Gilded Intent has reached the Sixth Step!”
“Ordinary Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal is no longer a threat to me. Not just that, but I can hold my ground even against a Pseudo Embodier!”
“This strength of mine is enough to make me shine on the Void Battlefield!” Di Qianqiu mumbled.
He looked at the opposite mountain peak with a curious gaze. “Seeing that you’ve been in a closed-door meditation for dozens of years, Heavenly Sword, what level of power are you at, I wonder?”
‘The Heavenly Sword…’
No one dared to overlook that name in the Central Heaven Temple.
That name belonged to an individual who reigned undefeated against every sky-pride and Prodigy in the Central Heaven Temple. That “sword” was nothing less than a peerless legendary sword that shined brightly throughout the ages!
Even though that “sword” had been in isolation for dozens of years, no one had dared to question or undermine its power.
Everyone knew that if that “sword” appeared again, it would be sharper and more lethal than ever!
…
On the towering Heavenly Sword Peak, a figure dressed in white robes was standing tall and straight like a sword. That person was none other than Chu Kuangren. He had been in the Central Heaven Universe for decades, and at that moment, his aura was fully concealed.
Compared to the fearsome and overpowering Heavenly Sword, he appeared no different than an ordinary scholar who was powerless to defend himself.
However, if a God King were to see him now, they would surely gasp in shock. That was because Chu Kuangren’s sword intent had returned to its roots. Just like shallow waters run deep, a terrifying aura was hidden beneath that calm demeanor of his.
He now possessed the Seventh-Step Arch Gilded Intent, and that was not the end of it!
Having spent dozens of years in closed-door cultivation, Chu Kuangren had cultivated his Invincible Self-empowering Arch Gilded Intent to the Peak Arch Gilded Immortal Stage!
However, since his Invincible Self-empowering Arch Gilded Intent was unique in the sense that it transcended the laws of this universe’s Great Dao, he could not comprehend it further. For him to improve his Arch Gilded Intent, Chu Kuangren would have to rely on his self-comprehension and self-cultivation instead.
Otherwise, he could have ascended into the Embodier Realm by now.
However, despite not being an Embodier, his comprehension of the Arch Gilded Intent was far beyond any ordinary cultivators at the Peak Arch Gilded Immortal Stage.
Even Chu Kuangren was unsure of how terrifying his power could be.
“As of now, which version of me is the stronger one, I wonder?” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
In terms of the two universes, the only person who could truly be a match for Chu Kuangren would have to be his Green Lotus counterpart.
With the Void Battlefield opening and connecting the two universes, he could sense a faint connection with his other self.
Hence, he managed to gain a clear grasp of the Green Lotus Chu Kuangren’s current situation.
The Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation, Immortal King’s authority, Book of Human Emperors…
He eventually caught up with all the new information.
Regarding that, he only had one thing to say, which was… ‘As expected of someone like me!’
Boom!
At that moment, an incomparably powerful aura erupted at the main gate of the Central Heaven Temple.
A black swordsman was approaching from the distance. Wherever he went, the swords of the surrounding sword cultivators began to tremble.
A dense and frightening ferocious qi was also concealed within that black swordsman’s body!
“It’s him, the Ninth Seat of the Temple Sequence, the Bloodthirsty Blade, Lin Wubing!”
One of the Temple’s sky-pride could not help but exclaim upon seeing that black-robed sword cultivator.
Each cultivator in the Temple Sequence was an exceptional top-tier Prodigy, and almost all of them could be considered Outliers.
Lin Wubing was one of them. He was the Ninth Seat and came from a mysterious tribe, the Armament Destruction Tribe!
That tribe was responsible for orchestrating the Spiritual Sword Tribe’s Thousand Swords Calamity. Having obtained tremendous amounts of sword rage qi, the tribe used it to create several terrifying individuals known as the Bloodthirsty Blades.
Lin Wubing was one of the Bloodthirsty Blades.
He had once sought out Chu Kuangren to challenge him. However, because Chu Kuangren happened to have sent his other self back to Pan Gu Universe, he immediately went into closed-door cultivation right after coming back, ignoring Lin Wubing’s requests.
The entire time, it was either Long Shuijing or Luo Xue had to dismiss him.
Later on, Lin Wubing left the Central Heaven Temple to gain experience by venturing out into the universe. Now, he had returned and set his sights directly on the Heavenly Sword Peak!
