Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 1480 - 1480 Like A Dog, One Slash At Heaven’s Son, Opening Bagua Furnace

1480 Like A Dog, One Slash At Heaven’s Son, Opening Bagua Furnace

Kaboom!

A deafening explosion later, countless energies crashed onto the Bagua Furnace en masse, and the terrifying overflow of energies scattered into all directions.

However, as the dust settled, the Bagua Furnace remained unscathed.

The sturdiness of the furnace surprised those who attacked.

“I can’t believe the Bagua Furnace is so sturdy. We teamed up, yet we can’t even leave a dent in it?!”

“This furnace is rather tough to open.”

The Qinghua Imperial Commander’s eyes gleamed. Then, he looked at Kylin Duan, Ji De, and others, saying, “You guys are holding back.”

It was true. He could feel that the others were holding back in their attacks.

After all, once the furnace opened, they would still have to compete with each other for Opportunities of Fortune. Hence, it was only reasonable for them to save their strength for later.

In fact, even the Qinghua Imperial Commander held his strength back.

“Everyone, if we can’t open the furnace, there will be no Opportunities of Fortune for us, so please give it your best shot!”

“The Imperial Commander is right,” Ji De said with a smile.

While everyone prepared for the second round of attack to open the furnace, an overwhelmingly domineering aura descended from the sky.

The intensity of the aura shocked every sky-pride present.

Even Ji De’s stallions collapsed on the ground feebly after sensing the aura.

The nine-headed lion that the Qinghua Imperial Commander rode reacted in fear as well. All nine of its heads trembled nervously as its limbs went weak, and it was forced down on its knees.

Then, a massive crack opened up in the sky.

Two figures emerged from within.

One of them had black hair and white robes, as well as an ancient-looking sword and a scroll hung around his waist, while surrounded by Immortal Sparks.

The intense aura originated from that person!

“It’s him!”

Many sky-prides and Prodigies reacted in fear when they saw the person. Their eyes shrank in disbelief, and their hearts skipped a beat upon seeing his arrival.

Even those who were called Peerless Prodigies could barely hold themselves together before the man.

The man was also one of the younger generations, but his ranks were a few times higher than everyone.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the man and the others were on two different levels.

The man’s name echoed throughout the universe, and no one in the current era could disregard his name. He was known as the maddest man in the universe.

The man was none other than Chu Kuangren!

“Damn it! Isn’t he supposed to be at the academy? Why is he here?!”

“We’re done for! If he’s here, the Opportunities of Fortune in the furnace are going to be his!”

“Compete with Chu Kuangren for the Opportunities of Fortune? I’d rather go hang myself with a rope!”

Countless other sky-prides were already deterred by his appearance alone.

If the Qinghua Imperial Commander, Ji De, and the other Prodigies felt pressured before Chu Kuangren, the other sky-prides felt despair.

Compete against Chu Kuangren for Opportunities of Fortune?

No one in the younger generations had the confidence to even say that.

“Chu Kuangren!”

Fire Boy stared at Chu Kuangren with utmost resentment.

The man had insulted him endlessly and even killed the Holy Violet Imperial Commander, whom he had previously served.

However, despite the resentment boiling in his heart, he did not act recklessly. He knew that even though he was no longer his previous self, he was still no match for Chu Kuangren.

“I have heard of you for a while now, and meeting you for the first time today, you really do live up to the rumors. Outstanding.”

The Qinghua Imperial Commander patted the nine-headed lion, attempting to calm it down.

At the same time, he looked at Chu Kuangren in awe. The man was indeed peerless in every aspect. It was no wonder the great ones would disregard the consequences and make a move on him.

“Chu Kuangren is the true Human Emperor. He is the one who defeated Ji Wu!”

Ji De stared at Chu Kuangren. It was his first time meeting Chu Kuangren as well, and frankly speaking, the Ji clan barely had any contact with Chu Kuangren, let alone conflict.

However, he knew that the Ji clan and Chu Kuangren, or rather the Human Emperor, were mortal enemies.

“There’s a bunch of you, yet no one can open the furnace? How embarrassing.”

The first thing Chu Kuangren said when he arrived forced a bitter look on everyone’s face.

Had he always been that harsh with his words?

The first thing he said offended almost everyone present.

Shang Honghua’s lips curled into a smile. She found Chu Kuangren’s words to be perfectly fine given his strength.

After all, he was the maddest man in the universe!

The title alone already offended all the sky-prides and Prodigies, so a few more arrogant words would do no further damage.

Besides, the Immortal Halls, the Ji clan, and the other forces were already enemies to Chu Kuangren. It was only a matter of time before they would confront each other.

“This Bagua Furnace isn’t some common treasure. Brother Chu, your words are a little hurtful,” the Qinghua Imperial Commander said.

“The Imperial Commander is right. If you are that capable, why don’t you open it yourself?” Ji De commented.

Chu Kuangren glanced at Ji De. “I heard the Ji clan’s Heaven’s Son Sword is powerful, but you don’t look like Heaven’s Son at all. You look more like a dog.”

“Chu Kuangren, mind your words!”

Ji De reacted grimly. The Heaven’s Son Sword had a surge of sword qi swirling around its blade, seemingly ready for a battle at any time.

Chu Kuangren stood where he was and did a provocative hand sign. “Come on, I’ll give you the courage that you need. Let’s have a go.”

No sky-pride could tolerate such provocation.

Ji De took a deep breath. The Heaven’s Son Sword shone brightly as he said, “You will have a taste of Heaven’s Son Sword’s power!”

With that, he threw a slash at Chu Kuangren. The massive sword shadow swept over the sky as though Heaven’s son swung a sword at all life on earth.

“Heaven’s Son? You are just someone’s son. You’re no match for the Human Emperor’s sword!”

Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign forward. Endless tyrannical sword qi gathered at the tip of his fingers before they were shot out.

The moment the sword shadow and sword qi clashed, the Heaven’s Son’s sword shadow shattered.

A stray strand of qi from the endless tyrannical sword qi was enough to blast Ji De several hundred meters away. Blood spurt out from his mouth as he crashed into the ground.

The remaining sword qi then headed toward the furnace with an indomitable force.

Following a heaven-shaking explosion, the tyrannical sword qi blasted the lid off the furnace.

As soon as the lid was blasted off, endless flames burst from within and engulfed everything.

Shocked by the flames, all the sky-prides retreated immediately to dodge the spewing flames.

Then, they looked at Chu Kuangren with an even more horrifying gaze.

A group of sky-prides teamed up to open the furnace, and none succeeded.

Yet, Chu Kuangren simply blasted a surge of sword qi to defeat the Heaven’s Son Sword and opened the Bagua Furnace.

Ji De was horrified when he saw the lid open. He gulped nervously at Chu Kuangren as his heart pounded wildly.

He was caught by a stray sword qi and was already defeated. If he took the full blast of the sword qi, he would die on the spot.

“So this is the strength of the madman? He’s a monster!” Ji De muttered.

He knew why Ji Wu and Xuanyuan’s successor lost to him, and it all felt so normal.

“How high is his cultivation level?” the Qinghua Imperial Commander asked out of curiosity.

“Hurry! The Bagua Furnace is open! Let’s go in!”

Some of the sky-prides nervously jumped into the furnace.

“Honghua, if anything unusual happens inside after we go in, I want you to leave immediately. Don’t you worry about me,” Chu Kuangren said.

Shang Honghua pondered and then nodded. “I understand.”
