The Immemorial Kunlun Pool.
It was the penultimate battlefield between the Human King, Cang, and the Venerable Gods.
The battle was so intense that the entire Kunlun Pool was destroyed, and whatever was left of it sank under the ocean. However, the auras that remained from that battle persisted until this day. That was why every cultivator avoided this part of the ocean.
On this day, Chu Kuangren had come.
Staring at the devastation from the battle of Kunlun Pool before him, Chu Kuangren’s soul departed from his body and emitted the brightest array of light under the ocean to maximize his soul detection abilities.
He had come here in search of his Hell Soul and Earth Soul.
Chu Kuangren was trying to see if there were any remaining soul energies left.
With the power of the Heaven Soul, flickering lights emerged all over the Kunlun Pool before they converged to form a singular light figure.
It was the other soul of Chu Kuangren.
More precisely, it was the soul of the Human King, Cang.
Cang stared puzzledly at his surroundings.
However, he grinned widely when he finally saw Chu Kuangren. “It looks like you’ve returned to the future. It’s been a while, Heaven Soul.”
“It has only been a few months for me.”
“Heh. Not counting the dozens of eras that have passed after my demise, I haven’t seen you for at least ten thousand years.” Cang chuckled.
“Well, let’s merge then.”
Chu Kuangren said.
Cang nodded before transforming into a ray of light and merged back with Chu Kuangren’s Heaven Soul in his body.
Despite his death, Cang’s remaining soul energy contained enough power for Chu Kuangren to reforge the Hell Soul of the Fourth Cycle.
With that, ten thousand years’ worth of Cang’s memories flooded Chu Kuangren’s mind.
These included some of Cang’s insights into the Dao.
The Heaven Soul was the guiding soul within the Trinity.
Hence, it was difficult for the Earth Soul and Hell Soul to advance their abilities after the Heaven Soul’s departure. However, ten thousand years was enough time for them to deepen their understanding of the Dao.
Chu Kuangren found it useful.
“What a long journey it has been indeed.” Chu Kuangren lamented as he witnessed the vicissitudes of life in Cang’s memories.
Suddenly, his body jerked out of nowhere.
Chu Kuangren frowned and retrieved a crystal orb. Right now, it was glowing with five different colors of light.
“Something has happened to the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army?”
The Five Ways Divine Shadow Army was previously positioned in Firmament Star to guard over the Black Heaven School. When the soldiers of the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army perished in a battle, their souls would return to its army core, which was the crystal orb Chu Kuangren was holding in his hand.
The glowing lights within the orb were indications that the army was being killed in battle.
“There aren’t many entities in Firmament Star who can overpower the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army. It seems like the gods have made their moves.”
…
In the Black Heaven Sect.
Several gods stood triumphantly in the air as they grimaced tauntingly at the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army and the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation beneath them.
“Let’s see how long you can last.”
A crocodile-headed Greater God cackled.
He was an underling of the Sea God, the Crocodile God.
The Crocodile God wielded a mighty ax, which he swung forward with.
The ax unleashed a blinding blade ray that shadowed half the firmament before its majestic divine aura sliced through the Cloud Dragon of the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation.
The blade ray continued relentlessly towards the Hall of Longevity.
In a loud explosion, the blade ray landed on an earthy yellow barrier.
It was a defensive barrier forged by Commander Heft Earth from earthen energies. Its defensive abilities were so formidable that it managed to parry the Upper God’s attack.
Commander Heft Earth was in charge of protecting the Hall of Longevity.
Meanwhile, Commander Metal Armor, Commander Crimson Fire, Commander Wither Water, and Commander Lush Wood were fighting against the Gods. However, they did not seem to have the upper hand.
Along with Chu Kuangren’s significant improvement over the past few years, the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army had improved too. The Divine Shadow Commanders all possessed powers equivalent to an Upper-rank Heavenly Imperial, while the rest of the army had ascended into the Emperor Realm.
However, their powers were still lacking in the face of these gods.
The weakest of the gods were at the level of a Heavenly Imperial.
It was only because of the Divine Shadow Army’s fearless nature and experience in countless wars that they managed to hold back the gods’ advancements.
“I wonder where Black Heaven School managed to recruit such a peculiar army. They are all stronger than I thought.” A Serpent God, taking after the form of a mighty python, was puzzled.
Another god, who was channeling a typhoon, was unfazed as he snorted. “Whatever it is, we must get rid of the Black Heaven School and the Black Heaven Sect altogether. How dare they accuse us of being false gods and misguide our followers into believing in whatever the True Black Heaven God is. What a joke.”
That was the reason why the Gods were attacking the Black Heaven Sect.
They were once the pillar of the human race’s faith. Even after being sealed, they still had devoted followers who spread their gospels to increase their powers.
Yet, the gods awakened this time to find that, to their dismay, most of their followers had turned into believers of True Black Heaven God.
They even accused the gods of being false gods!
How could they stand such humiliation?
As such, the gods were determined to destroy the Black Heaven School and the self-proclaimed Black Heaven True God, which was Chu Kuangren and everything that related to him.
Within the barrier.
Lan Yu, Elder Ruyan, Xuan Qi, Murong Xuan, and many others were worried as the gods’ advancements seemed to penetrate deeper into their territory.
“If this goes on, we won’t be able to hold much longer.”
Elder Ruyan said solemnly.
The Five Ways Divine Shadow Army was their greatest military resource. If the army could not survive, then neither could they.
“I have evacuated every disciple who’s below the Emperor Realm.”
A shadowy figure arrived at the scene.
It was Swordsman Mei who had gone undercover within the Dark Shadow Religion to become the Dark Maiden Sage. In the past few years, she had ascended to become an Emperor.
After some endeavors, she managed to wield control over a portion of the Dark Shadow Religion and assimilate them into the Black Heaven School.
Now, she was an elder of the Black Heaven School.
“Thank you, Elder Mei. At least we can be assured that even with our death, our legacy will live on,” said Elder Ruyan.
“Don’t give up. You won’t die so easily with me around.” The fully-armored Godly Phoenix interrupted them.
She had matured significantly over the past few years.
The Godly Phoenix now took after the appearance of a late adolescent girl.
She was one of the strongest forces within the Black Heaven Sect, with her abilities having reached the likes of an Upper-rank Heavenly Imperial. She could even put on a tough fight against a Boundary Daoist Celestial.
Furthermore, Lan Yu and Gu Linglong had returned to Firmament Star. Gu Linglong, who had ascended into an Emperor, was wielding an Emperor Weapon as her eyes were filled with determination.
“Wanting to destroy the Black Heaven Sect? Over our dead bodies.”
Lan Yu said coldly.
Crack, crack…
At this instant, the gods had managed to strike a large hole in the barrier.
Several gods came rushing in.
“Haha! We finally cracked this shell open.”
“Face your death, mortals!”
The gods unleashed their divine powers as they charged towards Lan Yu and the rest.
With that, the Godly Phoenix leaped forward, her palm raging with Phoenix Flame. “My name is Chu Hong of the Black Heaven Sect. Allow me to let you experience the warmth of the Phoenix Flame!”
The Godly Phoenix then pushed her palm forward, unleashing a fury of flame that disintegrated the divine powers.
Several gods could not evade in time and were blasted out of the barrier.
“It’s a divine beast!”
“I didn’t think there’d be a divine beast in here. It seems like this Godly Phoenix is as strong as the Upper Gods.”
“Leave the Godly Phoenix to me. You go take care of the rest.”
An intense battle between an Upper God and the Godly Phoenix broke out.
Meanwhile, the rest of the gods charged towards Lan Yu, Swordsman Mei, and the others.
“Hmph! Miniverse, activate!”
Lan Yu, who had ascended into a Heavenly Imperial, expanded her miniverse.
Gu Linglong and Swordsman Mei had also begun to battle the gods..
