The Soul Refining Altar suddenly appeared inside the Astral Illusory Realm.
As Chu Kuangren was trapped inside, his soul energy was being continuously refined by the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal. Meanwhile, the Immortal Progenies looked at each other while it happened.
âWhat a shame. There goes a top-tier Immortal Progeny.â
Zi Feng shook his head in lament.
However, there was a look of delight on his face.
Although he did not hold any grudges with Chu Kuangren, he would not mind having one less opponent on his path to become an Immortal.
âYou id*ot.â
Jian Sanjue beside him suddenly remarked.
âWhat do you mean?â
Zi Fengâs face turned grim.
âDo you truly believe that the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal will let us go after heâs done with Chu Kuangren? How naive of you.â
Jian Sanjue said coldly.
âWho knows what kind of tricks that Pseudo Immortal still has up his sleeve?â
At that, the other three Immortal Progenies fell deep in thought.
âJian Sanjue, I have no intention of provoking Planet Zi, Planet Jin, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Stillwater Sect. Once Iâm done refining Chu Kuangren, Iâll let you guys go.â
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal said from the Soul Refining Altar.
Despite that, Jian Sanjue turned a deaf ear and pointed his sword hand sign towards the Pseudo Immortal. Upon channeling his soul energy, three swords hovered around him, and a powerful burst of sword aura erupted. âThe only things I believe in are my swords!â
Then, he launched his three swords towards the Soul Refining Altar at great speeds!
Boom!
His sword qi dispersed, and the void rumbled.
However, the Soul Refining Altar was⦠undamaged!
Jian Sanjue frowned.
âItâs useless. Even at your peak, there is no way you guys will be able to break open the boundary of this Soul Refining Altar. Besides, your soul energies have been heavily depleted after that great fight earlier.â
âThatâs the true motive behind that trial of yours earlier, right? All you wanted was to deplete our soul energies so that you could possess us easily.â
Jian Sanjue said coldly.
âThatâs right.â
âYou even agreed to Chu Kuangrenâs request for him to fight four of us alone. Thatâs because youâve already chosen him as your vessel. Am I right? Seeking to possess him, you allowed us to attack and fight him, hoping that we could help weaken and deplete his soul energy for you,â said Shui Qianhua.
âYup. Youâre right on all accounts.â
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal laughed and nodded.
âHmph.â
Shui Qianhua let out a low grunt, and her soul energy erupted. Several rays of water light swirled around her, turning into a raging wave that crashed towards the altarâs enchanted boundary.
âOh? You want to save him now?â
âItâs a waste to let such a good-looking pretty boy die. Besides, like Jian Sanjue, I donât believe a single thing thatâs coming out from your mouth!â
Strands of Daoist patterns surrounded Shui Qianhua as she prepared to unleash her Immortal Technique.
Jian Sanjueâs sword aura was growing stronger too.
Jin Feiyi and Zi Feng, who stood beside them, fell silent at that sight. However, after some pondering, they started channeling their Immortal Techniques and prepared to attack as well.
Rather than placing their hopes on the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortalâs blatant promises, they would much prefer believing in themselves.
Four surges of Immortal Techniques erupted and landed on the altarâs boundary.
Despite the devastating blow of their attacks, not a single inch of the altarâs boundary was damaged at all.
âI told you earlier. Thereâs no way youâre breaking through this boundary.â
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal said.
âWhat if Iâm the one doing it?â
An indifferent voice rang out.
It was Chu Kuangren.
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal froze. As he looked at Chu Kuangren whose soul energy was being refined, he could not help but sneer. âChu Kuangren, donât you understand the gravity of the situation youâre in? I canât believe youâre thinking about destroying this enchanted boundary.â
âHeh! Now, who told you thereâs only one of me?â
Not to mention the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal, even Jian Sanjue and the others were stunned.
âWhat does he mean?â
âHmph. Chu Kuangren, Iâm sure youâre not thinking straight, seeing that your soul energy has almost been fully refined. After all, everyone only has one soul. What are you going to say next? That youâve had two souls all this while?â The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal sneered.
âWrong!â
Chu Kuangrenâs lips curled up into a grin. âNot two, but three!â
Boom!
The moment he spoke, the whole Astral Illusory Realm began trembling violently.
Two figures in white sitting on a lotus platform were approaching from afar. There was an incomparably terrifying aura emanating from them!
More importantly, the two of them looked the same. No, not only their appearances, but even their auras were the same!
The two of them were also Chu Kuangren!
âImpossible!â
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal was incredibly dumbfounded.
The other Immortal Progenies were even more confused. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThere are three Chu Kuangren?â
âCan somebody tell us what the hell is going on?!â
The two Chu Kuangren glided through the air and arrived above the Soul Refining Altar.
One of them looked at the Chu Kuangren on the altar and laughed. âThis is the first time that Iâve seen you in such a sad state, Earth Soul.â
That was true.
The soul that was being refined on the altar was, in fact, one of Chu Kuangrenâs three souls, the Human Soul. However, his Heaven Soul â the main soul â had just arrived.
In other words, even if the Earth Soul was completely refined by the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal, it would not impact Chu Kuangren too much. After all, he could regain that lost soul in the future through cultivation.
âIf you donât do anything right now, Iâll disappear for real. Besides, this Pseudo Immortalâs soul is great nourishment for us. Letâs finish him off and devour his soul.â
The Earth Soul said.
âLetâs go!â
The Hell Soul and Heaven Soul chuckled upon hearing that.
After that, the two of them immediately put on a serious look.
The Hell Soul then raised his hand as his Daoist patterns intertwined. The moment his menacing soul energy erupted, he unleashed his Invincible Technique, Inverted Universe!
His fist energy swept across the sky, inverting everything in its path, including the sun, moon, and the very universe around it!
Meanwhile, the Heaven Soul channeled his soul energy and transformed it into a white-jaded sword. While his overwhelming sword qi surged forth, his Grand Emperor Avatar appeared.
It was his Immortal Technique, the Imperial Monarch Sword Art!
âCosmic Universal Conquest!â
An Invincible Esoteric Art and an overpowering Immortal Technique.
When the two Chu Kuangrens attacked with their most powerful techniques, the might of their attacks caused the whole Astral Illusory Realm to rumble violently.
The Immortal Progenies were all stunned to witness this.
They realized that Chu Kuangrenâs Heaven Soul and Hell Soul were way more powerful than his Earth Soul!
It meant that Chu Kuangren was not using his full strength when they were battling earlier. At the very least, his three souls were not fighting them at once just now.
Otherwise, the four of them would have lost in a blink of an eye.
âThree souls? How is this possible?â
âWhat kind of cultivation technique is this?â
âHeâs a freak!â
The Immortal Progenies could only come to that conclusion as they continued watching in shock.
Once the sword qi and fist energy landed on the altarâs enchanted boundary, which the Immortal Progenies could not even damage earlier, it tore open effortlessly!
With that, the Heaven Soul and Hell Soul dashed into the altar.
âWhat kind of nasty chains are these? Now shatter!â
The Hell Soul pouted as he looked at the chains binding the Earth Soul. Forming a sword hand sign, he converted his soul energy into a few strands of sword qi and unleashed them at the chains.
The chains broke with a clang!
The Earth Soul was finally free again.
âAlright. Itâs time to deal with this old b*st*rd.â
The Earth Soul said.
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal gulped in fear as he looked at Chu Kuangrenâs three souls in disbelief. âWhat kind of monster are you?â
Every cultivator only had one soul.
âHow can anyone have three souls?!â
âLetâs do it.â
Without another word, Chu Kuangrenâs three souls attacked!
One soul unleashed the Imperial Monarch Sword Art Immortal Technique, the second soul cast the Esoteric Art Invincible Technique, and the third soul cast the Single Thought Series. All of them attacked the Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal without mercy.
The Violet Blood Pseudo Immortal soon found himself overwhelmed by an endless barrage of attacks that contained terrifyingly powerful soul energy fluctuations.
Soon, he felt that the great plan he had spent many years concocting was getting reduced into nothing but a pipe dream..
