The blood-colored saber ray soared through the void, tearing it apart!
Seeing this attack, Chu Kuangren channeled his Emperor qi and unleashed a punch. His magnificent Emperor qi formed a gigantic golden palm that radiated with Buddhist Light!
In that collision, rocks and dirt from the surroundings were brought up as the ground was blown apart!
Chu Kuangren narrowed his gaze towards the Blood Tribe man nearby.
âHeâs a Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial.â
A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
This was his first time battling a Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial.
âAnother Heavenly Imperial.â
The Blood Tribe manâs expression turned slightly grim. Meanwhile, the huge middle-aged man was extremely delighted. âSave me, fellow Daoist Brother!â
âHmph! I suggest you give up on saving everyone now! Men, kill every one of our enemies this instant!â The Blood Tribe man ordered the other Blood Tribe cultivators.
âYes!â
With that, the Blood Tribe cultivators started attacking the remaining Firmament Star cultivators mercilessly.
The Blood Tribe man rushed to attack that huge middle-aged man again. That middle-aged manâs expression changed, and he gritted his teeth, giving it his all to resist his opponentâs attacks.
âFellow Daoist Brother, Iâm a commander from the Sword Tribe. Please save me first!â
The huge middle-aged man shouted.
Chu Kuangren was surprised when he heard that.
âThe Sword Tribeâs Commander?â
âWhat a coincidence. I canât believe Iâd meet one of the Sword Tribeâs men here.â
However, that was not his main criteria for deciding who to save.
Although the huge middle-aged man, who was the Sword Tribeâs commander, seemed like he was in danger, he could still hold on for a while.
On the contrary, the remaining cultivators, surrounded by the Blood Tribe cultivators, were in imminent danger. Hence, Chu Kuangren decided to save them first.
His figure disappeared in a flash and arrived inside the crowd.
With a flicker of his mind power, a gigantic silver-white rune appeared in mid-air.
It was the Spatial Cessation Rune!
Spatial Cessation Rune descended and sealed off an area of fifty kilometers radius surrounding them. In an instant, all the cultivators below an Emperorâs level felt that their movements were greatly restricted.
Following that, countless streaks of sword qi were released from Chu Kuangrenâs body and turned into sword qi clones. Then, they immediately started slaughtering the Blood Tribe cultivators one by one!
In just a few moments, tens of thousands of Blood Tribe cultivators were wiped out.
Everyone was no longer in danger!
Finally, Chu Kuangren looked at the Sword Tribeâs commander who was still battling the Blood Tribe man. The Sword Tribeâs commander had already sustained several cuts, and blood was gushing from his wounds. He could be killed any time now.
Chu Kuangren stepped forth and arrived between both of them.
The power of two miniverses, one strong and the other weak were headed towards him that time!
âPut away your miniverse.â
Chu Kuangren said to the Sword Tribeâs commander.
âWhat for?â
âBecause youâll only get in my way.â Chu Kuangren frowned a little. He only came to everyoneâs rescue because they were all Firmament Star cultivators.
However, never did he expect the Sword Tribeâs commander to be so uncooperative.
If that was the case, there was no reason for Chu Kuangren to be polite to him anymore.
âYouâ¦â The Sword Tribe commanderâs face turned grim. Still refusing to put away his miniverse, he said, âOur opponent is a Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial. Only by using my miniverse can we fight him. Thereâs no way youâll be able to handle him alone.â
âIf youâre not going to listen, so be it.â
Chu Kuangren could not be bothered to persuade him anymore. He simply looked at that Blood Tribe man and lifted his hand to channel his Emperor qi and Daoist pattern before unleashing his miniverse.
An invisible surge of energy erupted!
The surrounding clouds and winds stopped!
The moment Chu Kuangren unleashed his miniverse, the miniverses of the other two Heavenly Imperials instantly crumbled. As a result, both of them were sent flying as their attacks backfired, and they looked at Chu Kuangren with great shock.
âThis miniverse is so powerful!â
âJudging by this aura, heâs only a Low-rank Heavenly Imperial. How is his miniverse so terrifying?!â
The miniverse was a materialization of a Heavenly Imperialâs Dao.
This meant that the strength of oneâs miniverse was closely related to their Dao and foundations.
Chu Kuangren possessed an Epic-quality Dao and Prominent-grade Emperorâs Core!
This was why his combat strength far exceeded that of his peers in the same cultivation realm. Naturally, the miniverse he deployed would be incomparable to other Heavenly Imperials of the same level as well. As long as their Dao and foundations were on the same level as his, even a Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial would be brutally suppressed.
That was the case for the other two Heavenly Imperials around him.
âRetreat!â
After witnessing the might of Chu Kuangrenâs miniverse, the Blood Tribe man knew that even if his cultivation level was higher, he would never be a match for Chu Kuangren.
Therefore, he made a decision to flee into the distance. However, since he was inside Chu Kuangrenâs miniverse, how far could he run off to?
âYou have nowhere to escape inside my miniverse!â
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Another surge of universal power erupted into several silvery-white universal chains that locked the Blood Tribe man in place.
âD*mm it!â
The Blood Tribe man yelled as his saber flew out from his grasp and hovered in mid-air, shattering the universal chains one by one!
Knowing that it would be difficult for him to escape Chu Kuangrenâs miniverse, the Blood Tribe manâs murderous intent skyrocketed. There was a crazed look in his eyes.
âAfter I kill you, this miniverse will naturally disperse!â
âBlood Source Power!â
Countless blood-colored veils of mist rose from the corpses of the fallen Blood Tribe troops. Then, they rushed toward him and entered his body.
As the Blood Tribe manâs aura rose rapidly, he struck out with his saber.
âInvincible Technique, Inverted Universe!â
Chu Kuangrenâs Descendant Self Sword immediately flew out and attacked.
His purple sword ray shot towards the Blood Tribe man, causing conjurations of the sun and moon inverting and planets crumbling to manifest.
The surrounding void was blown apart incessantly, and a large portion of the space crumbled.
âA Superb-grade Esoteric Art.â
Nearby, the Sword Tribe commanderâs pupils shrank in shock.
Superb-grade Esoteric Art was an extremely rare Esoteric Art. Even a Heavenly Imperial like him could only cultivate a Low-grade Esoteric Art despite having spent countless years researching.
A Superb-grade Esoteric Artâ¦
Only a handful of people in the Firmament Starâs Extraterritorial Battlefield possessed such power.
The moment the sword ray and saber ray collided, the saber ray instantly shattered!
Eventually, the sword ray engulfed the Blood Tribe man. Before he could even let out a scream, that Blood Tribe man exploded in a mist of blood.
Chu Kuangren dispersed his miniverse after killing the Blood Tribe man. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With a flicker of his mind, the wing bones of the fallen Blood Tribe troops were immediately broken off and kept inside his Yin and Yang ring. They were to be exchanged for combat merits when he returned to Stronghold Seventeen.
âWeâre very grateful for your help, fellow Daoist Brother.â
Some of the cultivators whom Chu Kuangren had saved came and thanked him.
Meanwhile, the Sword Tribeâs commander looked at Chu Kuangren from afar with a displeased look on his face, and he did not come to thank the latter either.
The backlash from his miniverse, caused by the suppression of Chu Kuangrenâs miniverse, had given him quite a few serious injuries.
Chu Kuangren ignored him and asked the others, âWhich stronghold are you guys from?â
âWeâre mercenaries of the Sword Tribe from Stronghold Eighteen. What is your name, Daoist Brother?â one of the cultivators asked curiously.
âChu Kuangren, a filibuster in Stronghold Seventeen.â
Chu Kuangren replied.
The remaining cultivators did not react much upon hearing that. However, the Sword Tribe commanderâs expression changed slightly. âChu Kuangren? Youâre Chu Kuangren? The one whoâs causing all the ruckus in Firmament Star? The enemy of my Sword Tribe? That Chu Kuangren?â
âWhatâs the matter? Do you have anything to say about it?â
Chu Kuangren shot him a glare. With his current strength, he had nothing to fear from the Sword Tribe.
âHmph.â The Sword Tribe commander grunted and did not say anything else.
Even though he knew Chu Kuangren was an enemy of the Sword Tribe, the latter did save him just now. Besides, it was not good to offend Chu Kuangren, considering how strong he was.
âBrother Chu.â
At this time, Shang Honghua arrived at the scene with her Redshirt Army. She said, âHowâs the situation here?â
âAlmost resolved,â Chu Kuangren said.
âShang Honghua! Youâre Shang Honghua!â one of the Sword Tribe cultivators who recognized her suddenly exclaimed.
Chu Kuangren shot a surprising glance at Shang Honghua. âIt seems like youâre quite famous here.â
