1961 The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor, Forcefully Suppressing Ye Zhu, What Makes You Think You Can Act With Such Insolence
“Damn it, they’ve escaped.” One of the generals snorted coldly.
Chu Kuangren merely stood by the side, not bothered by it because that was what he intended to happen anyway. With his capabilities, holding Yun Zhongyue back would not be a hard thing for him to do, but he did not wish to do that.
Besides, he was just playing along the entire time, so there was no need to act too seriously.
“Return to the fortress and reorganize the troops,” Chu Kuangren said plainly.
Everyone immediately responded firmly, “Roger.”
They looked at Chu Kuangren’s figure with admiration, not knowing Chu Kuangren’s true strength at all.
That was why they had no idea Chu Kuangren was simply messing around in the recent battle.
However, they were truly shocked by the combat power he displayed just now. Without Chu Kuangren, Yun Zhongyue would have wiped them all out.
After returning to the fortress, Chu Kuangren summoned the military adviser of the fortress.
That person’s name was An Zhixun.
His cultivation level was not that high, but he was previously Chi Xue’s capable right-hand man. After Chi Xue’s death, he displayed absolute loyalty to Chu Kuangren.
‘He’s more like an absolute fence-sitter to me.’
“I’ve asked for you mainly because I have a task for you to carry out. Do you know how many Immortal Metal ore veins are hidden in the Ninth Continent?” Chu Kuangren asked.
An Zhixun was a little surprised and did not know why Chu Kuangren would suddenly ask about that. However, he replied honestly, “Immortal Metal isn’t abundant on the Ninth Continent. There are only seven Immortal Metal ore veins here.”
“Alright. Send our men to start mining them.”
“Very well.”
After An Zhixun left, Chu Kuangren started pondering.
He was inquiring about the Immortal Metal ores for the Great Water Nation Warring Map Formation. If he wanted to set up the whole formation, it would require a huge amount of metallic resources.
That was why he asked about the Immortal Metal ore veins.
“Seven, huh? It’s far from enough,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
To set up the Great Water Nation Warring Map Formation on a tremendous scale that encompassed the whole Void Battlefield, mountains of Immortal Metal supplies would be required.
The current amount of Immortal Metal would never be enough.
“I’ll have to find out which location has enough Immortal Metal…”
Chu Kuangren took out a jade scroll.
He sent a message to all members of the Heavenly Roundtable in the Void Battlefield, asking them to keep their eyes out for anything similar.
…
Having suffered defeat at the Ninth Continent, Yun Zhongyue frantically retreated behind the Pan Gu Universe’s line of defense.
“Sh*t, I didn’t expect the Heavenly Sword to be so powerful!”
Yu Zhongyue could not help but lament. “It looks like the newer generation has indeed replaced the older generation. Pan Gu Universe’s Immortal King, Central Heaven Universe’s Heavenly Sword… I’m feeling old just by looking at them.”
“You flatter us, Senior.”
A laugh sounded.
Following that, an astral diagram and a figure appeared in the void.
He was dressed in long green robes and was holding a green jeweled sword.
Vague strands of sword qi were swirling in his green-colored eyes.
A stalk of green-colored grass appeared as well.
“Oh, you’re the one that saved me earlier.”
Yun Zhongyue said curiously, “It turns out it’s the host of the Green Leaf Sword Vision. If I’m not mistaken, you must be Ye Zhu of the Three Clarity Daoist Sect.”
“I didn’t expect you to know who I am. I’m deeply honored, Senior.”
“Ha! Although I’ve been occupied with suppressing the Dao contamination qi for many years, I’m still privy to the things happening in the outside world. Judging by your cultivation, it seems like you’re close to breaking through to the Embodier Realm soon. Perhaps, when it comes to Sword Dao, you and the Immortal King are the only ones in Pan Gu Universe that can go against the Heavenly Sword,” Yun Zhongyue said.
Ye Zhu’s gaze turned stern at the mention of the Heavenly Sword’s name.
“I’ve encountered this person before. He’s the most overpowering Prodigy other than Brother Chu. I’m afraid that even if I break through to the Embodier Realm, I won’t have a high chance of defeating him. Only Brother Chu can deal with him.”
“I see. The Heavenly Sword is quite a tricky opponent indeed. Oh, by the way, the astral diagram earlier seemed quite mysterious. May I know what that is?” Yun Zhongyue asked curiously.
“That astral diagram is a symbol of the Black Heaven Nine Star. It’s from the Black Heaven Star Order,” Ye Zhu replied with a chuckle.
“The Black Heaven Nine Stars… What kind of organization is that?”
“It’s created by Brother Chu…”
Ye Zhu briefly spoke about it and did not reveal much.
After that, they returned to another continent and arrived inside a city.
That city was a heavily fortified city occupied by Pan Gu Universe’s forces.
While Yun Zhongyue was finding a place to recover, two figures approached him.
It was an elderly man and a young man.
The elderly man was dressed in gold lavish long robes, emanating a vague but ancient aura. Meanwhile, the young man was dressed in white and had extraordinary Daoist Rhymes swirling mysteriously around him.
That person was Fuxi’s successor of the Human Emperor Sect.
“Oh, it’s you, Gu Xi.”
Ye Zhu’s eyes lit up upon seeing Fuxi’s successor.
Gu Xi was the name of Fuxi’s successor.
All the years, ever since he lost to Chu Kuangren, he had entered the Void Battlefield to improve himself, hoping to break through to become an Embodier quickly.
Ye Zhu had met him a few times before.
However, he was not very friendly during the times they met.
“Oh, it’s Ye Zhu,” said Gu Xi with a slight grin, but his expression was emotionless.
“Oh, you two know each other?” Yun Zhongyue asked curiously.
“We’ve met a few times before.”
“Oh, Ye Zhu, I heard you’ve been helping out Chu Kuangren as his subordinate recently. He even formed that Black Heaven Nine Stars or whatever it’s called. Are you really satisfied serving another person?” Gu Xi said lightly.
“It’ll have to depend on who I’m working for. I think it’s alright to help Brother Chu out,” Ye Zhu said confidently.
“Hmph, what a fool!”
At that time, the elderly man in the lavish golden robes beside Gu Xi said coldly, “As a Prodigy, you should be thinking on how to surpass Chu Kuangren, not serve him as his subordinate. It seems to me that you’ve lost your drive for greatness and power, and because of that, you do not deserve to be a cultivator.”
“And you are…” Instead of getting angry, Ye Zhu quickly asked.
“Kunlun Immortal Hall’s Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor!” the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor said calmly.
Ye Zhu instantly came to a realization. ‘No wonder he’s speaking this way. It turns out he’s from the Immortal Hall.’
However, when it came to the Immortal Hall’s Immortal Emperors, Ye Zhu knew all of them and had not heard of the elderly man before.
‘And this ancient aura around him… It looks like he’s an ancient Embodier.’
Ye Zhu had heard about the rumors surrounding the ancient Embodiers.
“To each their own, I suppose. Everyone is free to do whatever they wish, so there’s no need for you to worry, Senior,” Ye Zhu replied.
With that, he was going to leave.
Unexpectedly, the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor did not want to let the matter slide. “You stand right there. Today, I want you to tell everyone that you’ll quit the Black Heaven Nine Stars. Otherwise, don’t think of leaving this place!”
“Don’t you think this is too much, Senior?”
Ye Zhu’s expression changed slightly.
At that time, the other cultivators around them had also noticed what was happening.
“This is too much, Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor,” Yun Zhongyue, who could no longer stay silent, shouted.
Even so, the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor did not care. “What right does a critically injured Embodier like you have to tell me what to do?”
He snorted and unleashed his Embodier aura everywhere. The auras of three types of Dao erupted from within his body!
His Multi-Embodier aura instantly stunned everyone present.
“I can’t believe the Immortal Hall still has someone so powerful!”
The crowd of cultivators was a little shocked.
On the other hand, Yun Zhongyue’s expression sank, and his Embodier aura erupted. Although it was weaker than that of the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor, he still held on forcefully.
When the two auras collided, their invisible Daoist might clashed violently in the air.
However, seeing that Yun Zhongyue was injured and the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor’s cultivation level was higher, he quickly fell to a disadvantage.
“Back off!”
The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor waved his sleeves.
A domineering surge of energy swept out.
Yun Zhongyue was forced back several meters away.
Just then, a figure appeared behind Yun Zhongyue and supported him from the back.
“Ancient Embodier of the Immortal Hall, considering that the Immortal Hall has been kicked out from the Immortal World, what makes you think you can act with such insolence?!”
