“D*mn it! D*mn it!”

Somewhere in the Immortal World, a thundering roar sounded from within a glamorous golden palace!

Then, a huge sun rose into the sky.

It was emanating a vast divine might and… endless rage!

Some of the maids surrounding the palace were so scared that they fell on their knees, their faces pale and terrified.

That was the first time they had seen the Heavenly Champions so angry.

His rage was ten times worse than when he was turned down by the Holy Jade Pool Maiden Sage!

Inside the palace, Zhuo Donglai, the Heavenly Champion of the Eastern King School was seething with rage. His eyes were bloodshot and burning with anger.

“Chu Kuangren! Chu Kuangren!”

“We shall never see eye to eye!” Zhuo Donglai gritted his teeth and said.

Although he was angry, he did not lose his rational sense. He understood that he was currently not a match for Chu Kuangren.

“Perhaps I can only hope to find a Yin object as soon as possible to merge with my Primordial Sun Immortal Physique and create the Duality Rites Immortal Physique. With that, I might stand a chance against Chu Kuangren. However, where can I find such a Yin object?”

Zhuo Donglai pondered.

At that time, the jade scroll at his waist vibrated.

“It’s a message from the School Ruler.”

“What did you say, School Ruler? You’ve found the location of the Yin object?!”

Zhuo Donglai’s eyes lit up.

He could not help but burst into laughter. “Haha! This is wonderful. It looks like the heavens are on my side this time. Just you wait, Chu Kuangren. Once I obtain the Duality Rites Immortal Physique, I’ll certainly be paying you a visit!”

…

“Chu Kuangren is truly a monster!”

“The Soul-Vanquishing Tribe, Corpse Demon Tribe, Chiyou Tribe… The three successors from those tribes joined forces with so many Heavenly Champions and sky-prides, yet they still could not kill him. I’m afraid I won’t be a match for someone like him.”

Inside a gloomy and dark palace, a gentle voice uttered in shock.

“Of the Ten Demonic Dao Sects, we can be certain that the Baimei successor has betrayed us, while the successors of the Soul-Vanquishing Tribe, Corse Demon Tribe, Chiyou Tribe, and Yin Underworld Tribe are all dead. This is not good news for the Demonic Dao at all.”

A cold voice sounded.

“The higher-ups will deliberate on this matter. I believe they shall appoint the next successors soon. The most important thing now is to excavate Luo Hou’s Ancestral Land. Maybe by doing so, we’ll find something that we can stand a chance against Chu Kuangren,” the gentle voice said.

Luo Hou’s Ancestral Land was rumored to be the origin of the Demonic Dao.

He was a demonic cultivator who was even more ancient than Chiyou and so powerful that his presence could be traced back to the beginnings of the world.

…

In the Immortal World, the Immortal Hall.

A divine servant dressed in white was currently reporting some recent incidents that had happened in the Immortal World to a young man in lavish purple robes.

Chu Kuangren’s name, as well as the great battle that had become a heated topic of discussion, were mentioned.

“Interesting. If that’s the case, it’s safe to assume that many Heavenly Champions from the Immortal Hall have died in this person’s hands.” The purple-robed young man chuckled.

It was as if the deaths of those Heavenly Champions did not matter to him.

He was more interested in Chu Kuangren.

The Immortal Hall was governed by the Six Royals.

They were the Holy Jade Emperor, Holy Divine Emperor, Holy Longevity Emperor, Holy Violet Emperor, Holy Azure Emperor, and Holy Earth Emperor respectively.

That young man was the Holy Violet Imperial Commander, a successor of the Holy Violet Emperor Tribe, who was one of the Six Royals!

“Have the other five Imperial Commanders taken any action yet?”

“They still have not taken action.”

“Still in closed-door meditation, huh? Or perhaps they wanted to let the other Heavenly Champions battle it out and only appear when the Battle of Heavenly Champions is near an end.” The Holy Violet Imperial Commander laughed.

Then, he gazed into the skies. “Interesting. I didn’t expect someone like Chu Kuangren to appear before the Battle of Heavenly Champions reaches its end. It looks like I’ll have to make my appearance a bit earlier to test his strength.

Upon pondering further, he put away that thought.

“Continue monitoring the situation.”

“Very well, Imperial Commander.”

…

Inside Kunlun Secret Realm, it had been several days since that great battle.

These days, Cao Yun and the others continued exploring the Kunlun Secret Realm. Since some high-leveled Heavenly Champions and sky-prides had died in their battle with Chu Kuangren that day, the rest had learned to fear his name. Hence, they treated all the Hundred Academy’s Heavenly Champions politely for fear of incurring that certain someone’s wrath.

For that very reason, the Hundred Academy’s Heavenly Champions could travel wherever they wished within the Kunlun Secret Realm. Even if they came across some Opportunities of Fortune, no one would dare to fight them for those.

“Having Chu Kuangren as our Chief is simply wonderful,” said Wang Chentian.

That was not the first time he thought that way.

The others felt the same way as well.

“By the way, our Chief has gone into closed-door meditation again ever since that great battle ended. I wonder when he will be done?” Cao Yun said as he looked at Lan Yu and Chu Hong.

After all, the two ladies were the closest to Chu Kuangren among everyone else.

“Master said he wanted to look into something,” Lan Yu said.

Inside the cave, Chu Kuangren was certainly researching something in his closed-door session.

He was studying some of the Immortal Physique materials he obtained from that battle. That included Zhuo Donglai’s Primordial Sun Immortal Physique, Zhi Lei’s Lightning Immortal Physique, Chi Zhan’s Demonic Physique, and some wild beasts’ bloodlines.

He used the Tome of Physiques to analyze all of their forms.

Then, he integrated them into his Ultimate Almighty Source Physique.

With that, his Almighty Source Physique became even stronger.

He had also sparred with Yu Zhi after coming back from that battle. During that time, he secretly procured some of her blood and used it to analyze her Jade Pool Immortal Physique.

Speaking of that, Yu Zhi did not care much that he killed Zhuo Donglai, even though that was just his clone. However, it was obvious that she did not fancy Zhuo Donglai much.

No, it could be said that she detested that man.

“The Eastern King School, huh? If I recall correctly, the Eastern King School originated from the Eastern Patriarch King,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

According to legends, during the ancient Immortal times, the West Ruler Matriarch was known as the leader of female Immortals while the Eastern Patriarch King was known as the male Immortals’ leader.

Although it sounded a little exaggerated, the Eastern Patriarch King’s power was unquestionable.

At the very least, he was on the same level as the West Ruler Matriarch.

“The Eastern King School and the Jade Pool Sacred Land seem to have a very close relationship. That Eastern King School’s Heavenly Champion is also obsessed with Yu Zhi, the Holy Jade Pool Maiden Sage.”

“Nevertheless, despite his advances, the Maiden Sage has made her lack of interest in him clear. His obsessive behavior even made her disgusted. Hm… It looks like I might be able to use that situation to my advantage in the future,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

After finishing his work, Chu Kuangren was ready to end his closed-door meditation session.

Before doing so, he drew his daily gacha roll.

“Congratulations, Host! You have won a God-tier prize — the Wooden Puppet Refining Technique!”

‘The Wooden Puppet Refining Technique?!’

Chu Kuangren was puzzled, so he withdrew that item.

A burst of information suddenly flooded his mind.

“What a wonderful technique! With this Wooden Puppet Refining Technique, I can imbue my blood essence into any spiritual wood to make a puppet that’s equivalent to my clone!”

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.

Since he had some spiritual wood, he planned to experiment with creating his own puppet once he went back.

Then, Chu Kuangren came out from his closed-door meditation session.

Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and the others came to greet him.

“How’s the recent haul?” Chu Kuangren asked.

“Most of the Opportunities of Fortune in the Kunlun Secret Realm have been found by now.” Cao Yun replied with a smile.

“I see. In that case, it’s about time we leave this place.”

“Alright.”

Meanwhile, outside the Kunlun Secret Realm, a huge crowd of cultivators emanating with rage qi were waiting at the secret realm’s entrance. Their leader was dressed in blood-colored robes and had long, narrow eyebrows.

That was the Blooded Nine Crow, the foster son of the Evil Immortal Valley Lord.
