With Chu Kuangren’s coercion, many of the beasts were forced to surrender their Opportunities of Fortune because none of them had the power to rival Chu Kuangren’s bizarre power.

“Why do you need our blood essence?” Yuan Feng asked out of curiosity.

He had no resentment for Chu Kuangren. In fact, he only attacked because of the battle-frenzy nature of the Battle Saint Ape Tribe.

Now that he was utterly defeated, he surrendered not only the Opportunities of Fortune he gathered but also the Battle Saint Technique that was unique to the Battle Saint Ape Tribe.

He understood if Chu Kuangren wanted their secret techniques and Opportunities of Fortune, but blood essence?

It baffled him.

Was Chu Kuangren trying to create or use some kind of curse?

The thought sent chills down the yokai’s spines.

There were all kinds of strange cultivation methods in the world, so using the beasts’ blood essence as part of some curse was entirely plausible.

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to hurt you.”

Chu Kuangren did not further explain himself.

He wanted the blood essence because he wanted to study different kinds of physiques to complete the Divine Myriad Yokai Mimicry Technique.

In his opinion, the Divine Myriad Yokai Mimicry Technique was not perfect and still had space to improve.

Only after he analyzed and understood different kinds of beast’s physiques, and then supplemented it with mimicry Daiost Rhymes could the Divine Myriad Yokai Mimicry Technique be perfected.

After that, the yokai continued their expedition in the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave.

Soon, the day of closing arrived.

Chu Kuangren, Tushan Fei Yu, and the others were prepared to leave.

The moment Chu Kuangren stepped out of the cave, multiple Immortal Consciousness locked onto him.

They were the great ones from the Yokai Tribes in the Great Ten Thousand Mountains.

“His cultivation level remains as it is, but his energy is much stronger than before. What happened?”

“It seems like he has gained a lot in the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave.”

“I still haven’t figured out how he slipped through the restriction seals and entered the cave.”

“This is beyond me.”

“His methods are alarming indeed.”

Other than Chu Kuangren, the sky-prides of other Yokai Tribes also exited the cave, and the great ones from the respective tribes started to ask them about the results.

However, the sky-prides responded with an embarrassed expression.

Their gaze at Chu Kuangren showed nothing but reverence.

The great ones were stunned.

What did Chu Kuangren do? Why were the sky-prides so afraid of him?

After the great ones learned what Chu Kuangren did inside the cave, their expressions turned grim.

Seized the Heavenly Yokai King’s inheritance?

Robbed the sky-prides of their Opportunities of Fortune?

How audacious and lawless!

He was in the Great Ten Thousand Mountains, the territory of the yokai. What gave him the confidence to rob the sky-prides in broad daylight?

One after another, the Immortal Consciousness locked on to Chu Kuangren. The anger and resentment were clear, especially from the Sky Centipede Tribe, Avarice Tribe, and Golden Crow Tribe.

Each of them wished they could cut Chu Kuangren into a million pieces, eat his flesh, and drink his blood, but they could not.

Even they dared not simply interfere with the battle of Heavenly Champions.

“Chu Kuangren!”

“The Golden Crow Tribe will not let this slip so easily! I will find a way to end your path to immortality!” the Golden Crow King’s frosty voice echoed throughout the void.

Then, a powerful and domineering aura enveloped the area.

All the other yokai sky-prides trembled uncontrollably, and only Chu Kuangren remained calm.

He stared into the void and said, “Perhaps you can try.”

He had provoked the Golden Crow King, an Arch Gilded Immortal!

His boldness left everyone stunned. Chu Kuangren, a tiny Heavenly Immortal, must be out of his mind to challenge the authority of an Arch Gilded Immortal!

How was he so confident?

Was he not afraid that the Golden Crow King might disregard the karmic consequences and kill him on the spot?

After all, Chu Kuangren did just kill his son, and it was understandable if the Golden Crow King lost his patience and decided to avenge his son.

“You! Do you have a death wish?”

The Golden Crow King’s voice grew frosty, and terrifying killing intent spread across every corner of the realm.

A common Heavenly Immortal, or even a True Immortal, would be horrified after being pressured by an Arch Gilded Immortal’s killing intent.

Yet, Chu Kuangren remained calm.

“Come on. Do it,” Chu Kuangren continued to provoke the Golden Crow King.

All the great ones from other tribes were awestruck by his words.

Chu Kuangren was too audacious.

Even the Tushan Queen and the Emerald Hill Fox King were baffled by his confidence. However, they started to channel their Immortal’s Core energy in secret to prepare themselves to save Chu Kuangren should anything unexpected happen.

“Don’t have the guts to?” Chu Kuangren’s voice sounded again.

He had the Indestructible Physique anyway. As long as it could not kill him, he would continue his provocation.

“Grr…” The Golden Crow King inhaled deeply to suppress the boiling rage.

He almost attacked Chu Kuangren, but at the thought of the karmic repercussions of interfering with the battle of the Heavenly Champions, as well as the Celestial Demon Tribe and Hundred Academy behind Chu Kuangren, he suppressed his killing intent.

“You will pay for what you did,” the Golden Crow King said with a scoff.

After that, his energy presence disappeared.

He left because he was pissed off!

“Wow, the Golden Crow King really tolerated Chu Kuangren’s provocation.”

“Maybe Chu Kuangren knew the Golden Crow King wouldn’t interfere, hence the bold provocation. What a calculative person.”

“With him around, the other Heavenly Champions would not even stand a chance.”

The great ones from various Yokai Tribes exchanged their thoughts in the void, but Chu Kuangren could not be bothered.

Instead, he returned to Tushan with Tushan Fei Yu and the others.

His trip to the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave was a harvest, and he needed time to sort out everything he got.

On the other hand, at Golden Crow Heavenly Mountains, a terrifying aura erupted.

Kaboom!

More than a hundred mountain peaks in the Golden Crow Heavenly Mountains exploded into dust, frightening many of the Golden Crows.

After the explosion, the mountain ridge that was more than a million kilometers in radius fell into dead silence.

Some of the mountains were scorched to the ground.

That was the Golden Crow King’s wrath.

“Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren! You will die!” the Golden Crow King said with his teeth gnashed.

The Golden Crow Flame spread from his body uncontrollably, and any sliver of ember could torch the air into the void.

After venting his anger, the Golden Crow King regained his calm.

Killing Chu Kuangren was not a difficult task, but the karmic repercussions of killing him were not something that he was prepared to receive.

“I heard the Arch Gilded Immortals of Eastern King School and the Demon Palace suffered severely after interfering with the battle of the Heavenly Champions. One of the three flowers on the Eastern King School’s Arch Gilded Immortal was removed, causing his cultivation level to fall.

“Considering that he suffered such a heavy repercussion by interfering, if I kill Chu Kuangren with my own hands, I might be killed on the spot. What about sending someone else after him? If the person ratted me out, I might still be involved.

“Damn it… But killing Chu Kuangren just like that is too merciful. I want him to suffer worse than being dead!”

Thoughts ran through his mind.

Then, all of a sudden, he thought of something and went to the deepest part of the Golden Crow Heavenly Mountain.

There was a golden pool located inside, but it also reeked of blood.

It was a blood pool!

“You’re here.”

A voice sounded from the pool.

Then, the golden water started to boil, and a face of a handsome man emerged from the water.

“I want you to defeat someone for me.”

“Oh? Not even you can defeat this particular one? What makes you think I can?”

“My hands are tied because of the karmic restrictions. The target is a prodigy among sky-pride, and I want you to destroy his pride and ego,” the Golden Crow King said.

All the sky-prides held pride in their status.

Aside from being able to defeat them, insulting and humiliating them would be the most effective blow to their status, physically and mentally, especially for someone as proud as Chu Kuangren.

Then, Chu Kuangren would wish that he was dead!
