“What’s the matter?” Chu Kuangren stared at the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal indifferently.

Across from him, the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal did the same. “Your Excellency, I believe you owe us an explanation.”

“What explanation do you want?”

“It took us quite the effort to hunt this Giant Stellar Beast down, but the celestial energy inside it is all gone, and you happen to come out from it. Shouldn’t you explain yourself?” the Golden-Armored Heavenly Immortal said.

His words attracted the others to gather around.

Chu Kuangren instantly became the public enemy because of those few words, which made it sound like he was a thief who had stolen everybody’s spoils.

“Give us an explanation. If you can compensate us, we may let you walk out of this place alive,” the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal said.

The other agreed to his suggestion.

“That’s right. We can’t just leave empty-handed.”

“What happened? Tell us the truth!”

Boom!

While the crowd was getting riled up, a surge of cold and sharp energy expanded and blanketed the space.

Chu Kuanggren stood with his hands behind his back. “I don’t have to explain myself to others. Move, or die.”

The tone of his voice was as cold as the wind.

Everyone narrowed their eyes.

They knew they were facing a tough opponent.

The Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal’s sharp senses noticed Chu Kuangren’s cultivation level through the energy he released — a Seventh-grade Earthen Immortal!

He grinned. “You’re just a Seventh-grade Earthen Immortal, and you have the audacity to spit nonsense before me? Do you know how transcendent a Heavenly Immortal’s Daoist techniques are?”

He took a step forward, and the energy of a Heavenly Immortal erupted.

The next moment, he reached out to Chu Kuangren for a grab. A large amount of Immortal’s Core energy and Daoist patterns intertwined around his palm.

“Kid, let me teach you a lesson first.”

Chu Kuangren did not even flinch at the incoming palm attack, which allowed the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal to get to his shoulder.

With a grin, the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal curled his fingers into a claw and wanted to rip Chu Kuangren’s arm off.

However, the look on his face changed when he realized that Chu Kuangren’s shoulder was as tough as an Immortal Metal. He could not even dent it with his strength.

‘Something is wrong with this person!’

The Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal wanted to retreat immediately, but it was too late.

A fair and slender hand grabbed his wrist.

“Release me!”

The Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal channeled his Immortal’s Core energy and tried to shake Chu Kuangren’s grab. Alas, it was futile as his Immortal’s Core energy crumbled when it touched Chu Kuangren. It felt like he was throwing an egg at a rock.

“Is this what you were trying to do?” Chu Kuangren’s calm voice sounded.

Then, he twisted his opponent’s wrist and pulled. The Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal felt an indomitable force pulling his arm, and before he could react, blood spurted out.

The Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal’s arm was ripped off!

“D*mn it!”

He endured the excruciating pain and drew an ancient black sword with his left hand. Then, he injected Immortal’s Core energy into it and slashed it out at Chu Kuangren.

The slash was actually a Sword Dao Immortal Technique. Its sharpness was almost unblockable.

A vicious look appeared in the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal’s eyes.

He strongly believed that no matter how strong Chu Kuangren’s body was, his Immortal Weapon would be able to hurt him.

“Foolish!” Chu Kuangren tossed the broken arm away and raised two of his fingers at the incoming attack. It was so powerful that it could cut a planet in half, but it was caught!

“What?!”

The Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal was stupefied, and so were the others.

Using two fingers to catch an attack from a Heavenly Immortal? What kind of power did Chu Kuangren possess?

“Heavenly Immortal? Daoist techniques that transcend the heavens? Really?” Chu Kuangren scoffed.

He tightened his fingers and pulled the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal closer to himself before he threw a punch forward.

Bang!

A sky-shattering explosion sounded.

The golden armor on the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal shattered upon impact. As a result, he was sent flying backward like a meteor, crashing through a dozen planets before ending up as a pile of meat.

The punch did not only crush his body but also his soul.

Upon witnessing the scene, the others were silenced and stunned.

Everything in space suddenly turned quiet.

A single punch killed a Heavenly Immortal?

What kind of terrifying power was that?

“Not too shabby.” Chu Kuangren smiled with satisfaction after feeling how powerful his raw physical strength had grown. After absorbing the celestial energy in the Stellar Giant Beast, his Stellar Undying Body had received a decent boost.

Based on his conservative calculation, he could easily defend himself against a Fifth to Sixth-grade Heavenly Immortal with his current strength.

After killing the Golden-armored Heavenly Immortal, Chu Kuangren flew away, and no one dared to even stop him.

…

“The appearance of the complete Immortal World is rather surprising.”

Chu Kuangren’s Immortal Consciousness was collecting all kinds of information throughout that particular galaxy.

He took a piece of communication jade scroll and wanted to contact the Empire, but he realized he was too far away.

“Tsk, this beast can really run.”

As such, he activated his Spatial Conveyor Technique. With his connection to the Heavenly Dao of Firmament Star, he was able to head back to the Empire quickly.

Fortunately, he had already established contact with the Empire halfway through.

The Empire had also learned about the appearance of the complete Immortal World. However, even though the Empire had been developing rapidly in the past few years, it was still rather difficult to enter the complete Immortal World and set up a base there.

With that, Chu Kuangren told the Empire to be patient first.

Soon, he arrived and saw Lan Yu, Shang Honghua, Lil Fox, Chu Hong, and the others together. They were prepared to follow him into the Immortal World.

At the current stage, only the aforementioned few were capable and had the chance to accomplish something big in the complete Immortal World.

The others also had the potential, but time was short, and they had not grown fully yet.

After settling the Empire, Chu Kuangren brought Chu Hong, Lan Yu, and the others into the complete Immortal World.

The nearest Immortal World Four Heavenly Gates, the Northern Heavenly Gate, was the nearest one to the Empire. However, it was still countless lightyears away.

Chu Kuangren and company spent a whole year to arrive at the gate.

“I wonder if the Hundred Academy still exists after the Fragmented Immortal Worlds converged,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

He did not miss anything in Planquilon Immortal World, except for the place he was rather fond of, the Hundred Academy.

Chu Hong and Shang Honghua also thought of Sycamore Mountain and Jade Clarity Immortal Sect respectively.

The convergence of all the Fragmented Immortal Worlds would surely shake up those top immortal orthodoxies of their respective worlds.

“Let’s go.” Chu Kuangren took the lead onto the Immortal Ascension Path.

The moment he stepped in, nine hundred and ninety-nine dragons and phoenixes dashed into the sky, painting an auspicious phenomenon that shook the universe.

Not only the Northern Heavenly Gate but the other three Heavenly Gates also had the same phenomenon.

The entire universe was filled with roars and cries of dragons and phoenixes for the entire day. The boundless Immortal Sparks replaced the stars, and the mystical Daoist chimes became the only sound in the void.

The terrifying phenomena attracted the attention of countless great ones throughout the universe, and they released their Immortal Consciousness to find out what was going on.

At the Northern Heavenly Gate, Chu Kuangren’s expression remained indifferent to the vast and auspicious phenomenon.

It was not his first time anyway.

It was just a lot grander and glamorous this time.
