âYou canât stop this blade!â
Chu Kuangren uttered calmly as he unsheathed his Self-Descendant Sword.
As his sword ray penetrated the realm, Chu Kuangren used his Spatial Conveyor Skill to teleport the sword ray above Jian Que, slicing him in half amid his panic!
âSpatial Technique! D*mn it!â
Jian Wuqueâs face sank.
He stared at Chu Kuangren deadly with his sword still in his hands. âChu Kuangren, youâre way too much!â
âA dog who bit the hands that feed him deserves to be put down! If you wish to resume our battle, Iâll be willing to. However, you should know that the Blood Tribe battalion is arriving anytime now. Itâs best that we retreat for now.â
Chu Kuangren said as he looked at the other party calmly.
Jian Wuque paused for a moment before he finally snorted. âNo matter what Jian Que did, I canât forgive you for killing my people in my presence! Iâll remember this and look for you upon our return!â
âAs I said, Iâd be more than willing to accept your invitation!â
Chu Kuangren activated his Spatial Conveyor Skill and vanished into thin air.
At that, Jian Wuque could not help but frown with annoyance.
âHis Spatial Technique is surely annoying as hell.â
Spatial Techniques were always notorious for being difficult techniques to counter. Even in the Extraterritorial Region, few possessed the abilities to wield these techniques.
â¦
âHow did it go?â
Shang Honghua asked upon seeing Chu Kuangrenâs return.
Chu Kuangren replied, âItâs been settled.â
Shang Honghua was not particularly excited. On the contrary, she said anxiously, âThe Sword Tribeâs influence in the Extraterritorial Region is not to be underestimated. Killing their commander will definitely make you their enemy.â
Unknowingly, she was worried about Chu Kuangren.
âHeh, Iâve long gotten used to it.â
Chu Kuangren was indifferent to it.
After all, he had made a fair amount of enemies out of many entities.
However, most of these entities had either been annihilated or damaged to the point of no return, while here he was, still roaming around freely.
Chu Kuangren had long been accustomed to such a lifestyle.
âAlright now, you should leave before the Blood Tribe battalion arrives,â said Chu Kuangren to Shang Honghua and her troops.
âAre you sure you want to stay?â
Shang Honghua attempted to persuade him one last time.
âYes, Iâve made up my mind.â
âBe careful then.â Shang Honghua had no choice but to lead the Redshirt Army away from Asteroid Seven.
Other Firmament Star cultivators who came to Asteroid Seven were taking their leaves as well.
One by one, fleets of warships departed the asteroid.
The Blood Tribe cultivators from afar frowned in confusion when they saw that.
âWhy are these Firmament Star cultivators leaving?â
âHave they found out about our battalion? Who leaked our secret?â
The Blood Tribe cultivators were clueless.
They had initially planned to launch an all-out assault on the cultivators before exploring the Universal Secret Realm.
However, they had never expected that the cultivators would leave just like that!
It seemed like their plans had gone down the drains.
In Asteroid Seven.
Chu Kuangren said to Yue Zhaowu, âHow long until the Blood Tribeâs battalion arrives?â
âApproximately three daysâ time,â Yue Zhaowu answered.
âDoes the secret realm require the combined strengths of ten High-rank Heavenly Imperial to open?â Chu Kuangren asked.
âThatâs right. The barriers of Universal Secret Realms are fortified. Even the weakest of these realms cannot be opened easily.â
Yue Zhaowu said.
âThree daysâ¦â Chu Kuangren murmured.
He had three days to prepare.
âHead back to the Blood Tribe. If there are any updates, be sure to let me know.â Chu Kuangren arranged for Yue Zhaowu to collect intel from the Blood Tribe.
Then, he found a secured location and laid down layers of seals in the perimeter before he began to refine the Superb-tier Chaos Emblem.
Three days later.
A large fleet of warships arrived at Asteroid Sevenâs orbit.
There were countless platoons of Blood Tribe cultivators on board.
On the deck of the largest ship stood a black-cloaked cultivator, who had an utterly pale face. He was the leader of this battalion.
The youngster sat on his seat that was made out of the skin of a beast while swirling the wine in his wine glass.
The pale figure was accompanied by a parade of seductively-dressed Blood Tribe maidens as they serviced their leader. He was the epitome of a rich playboy.
Chu Kuangren expanded his Emperor Thought over the entire battalion and focused on the pale figure.
Although the pale figure seemed to be indulging in wines and maidens, Chu Kuangren could tell that he was the strongest of the battalion.
âLil Ai, analyze him.â
âYes, Master.â
The Omniscient Spirit responded with its signature deep voice before it shared an array of information about the pale youngster with Chu Kuangren.
âBai Juexin, the Blood Prince of Bai House in the Blood Tribe⦠A High-rank Heavenly Imperial who can be considered a Half-step Daoist Celestial. Heâs proficient in wielding the dark blood energy and the Esoteric Technique, Apocalyptic Trinity Bladeâ¦â
Chu Kuangrenâs mind was swarmed with all of Bai Juexinâs information.
âThe Blood Prince of the Bai House. It looks like heâs a significant figure in the Blood Tribe.â
Chu Kuangren was shocked.
As far as he knew, there were thirteen houses in the Blood Tribe, each of them led by their leaders who were known as the Blood Kings.
The Blood Kings were the most influential figures in the Blood Tribe, and all of them were cultivators of the Daoist Celestial Realms.
Bai Juexin was a Blood Prince.
This made him one of the more reputable figures in Blood Tribe.
According to Lil Aiâs analysis, even if Chu Kuangrenâs abilities were to drastically improve upon absorbing the Superb-grade Chaos Emblem, he would only step into the Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial Realm.
Even then, there would still be a significant power gap between him and the Blood Prince.
A half-step Daoist Celestial was not a cultivator to fool around with. Furthermore, Bai Juexin had countless Blood Tribe soldiers under his command.
âThereâs no way I can fight them with brute force. I guess I can only wait for the right moment.â
Chu Kuangren murmured.
With that, he continued to observe the Blood Tribeâs movement from the shadows.
Only when the battalion stopped in the upper atmosphere of Asteroid Seven did Bai Juexin gradually stand from his seat.
He extended his hands to stretch his back. âWeâre finally here. Have we determined the Universal Secret Realmâs position?â
Bai Juexin said to a Blood Tribe cultivator beside him. The cultivator responded politely, âYes, sir. Itâs just above this asteroid.â
âAlright, then.â Bai Juexin nodded and gently lifted his hand to discharge a fury of crimson energy.
Once he unleashed a fist technique, a crimson projectile pierced through space!
From Chu Kuangrenâs acute sense, he could tell that the fist technique was not only infused with Emperor qi and Daoist patterns but also with⦠a miniverse!
It was not just a strand of universal energy!
Rather, it was the entire Heavenly Imperialâs miniverse!
Bai Juexin had managed to converge an entire miniverse into an offensive attack. This made him a far deadlier opponent than most Heavenly Imperials, who could only use miniverse as a form of leverage in battle.
âIs this how a half-step Daoist Celestial uses his miniverse?!â
Chu Kuangren tutted in awe.
A Heavenly Imperialâs strength was not only measured by their Emperor Qi and Daoist patterns. The usage of their miniverse could often distinguish the strong cultivators and the weaker ones apart.
Other than Bai Juexin, very few Heavenly Imperials would be able to launch a miniverse like a volleyball.
