1494 Arrogant As Always, Qinghua Imperial Commander Attacks, Is This Your So-Called Surpassing?

The Bagua Furnace’s lid blasted open violently.

Then, countless Daoist patterns on the furnace started to dim as the endless flames burst from within, setting everything ablaze.

Amid the heaven-searing flames, a figure in white that had been buried in many sky-prides’ minds suddenly appeared once more.

All the sky-prides gasped in fear.

Laojun City was engulfed in flames. However, not only did it fail to scorch or even warm people’s hearts, but the place felt extremely chilly as if winter has arrived.

Chills ran down everyone’s spines and left their heads numb.

All the sky-prides suddenly remembered the fear they had for the white figure.

“The furnace is really stuffy. The air out here is much fresher.”

A calm voice sounded.

The white figure amidst the flames swung his sleeve, extinguishing all the flames in the area.

Only then did people finally get a clear look at the person’s face.

The person had black hair, white robes, a handsome face that stood out from the rest, and a transcendental presence, unmatched by anyone in the universe.

He was someone who everyone knew too well.

He had disappeared for twenty years, and the people had almost forgotten him completely.

However, when he reappeared before the public again, the people were reminded that it was not that they had forgotten him. Rather, they refused to and were afraid to remember those days when the man single-handedly overpowered the world.

Following the person’s appearance, the familiar feeling of reverence and fear assaulted every one of them once more.

“C-C-C-Chu Kuangren!” stammered one of the sky-prides.

Some of them went blank, unable to form a single word in their mind.

The Qinghua Imperial Commander, Ji De, the Third Dragon Crown Prince, Hen Changtian, and other Prodigies were in disbelief, their eyes trembling in fear.

They all shared a single question in their minds: why is he still alive?

It was unfair for him to continue his reign, and he should not be allowed to live anymore.

Not only the sky-prides and Prodigies but even the great ones were dazed by his appearance.

The monster lived!

Not even the flames of the Bagua Furnace could destroy him!

It seemed like his fate had yet to reach the end.

“What are those Immortal Halls fools doing? How could they fail to eliminate a junior?!”

“It seems like time has gone back twenty years ago.”

“You can’t be sure just yet. The other Prodigies had twenty years of growth, and he was trapped inside the furnace for as long. Maybe he wasted twenty years.”

…

“Master!”

Back at Laojun City, Lan Yu was overwhelmed by happiness when she saw Chu Kuangren.

She knew Chu Kuangren was alive.

“Yo, Lan Yu, it’s been a while.”

Chu Kuangren noticed and greeted her. He also noticed the injuries she sustained.

With a cold gaze, he asked, “Did someone hurt you?”

“Yes, Master. It’s the Qinghua Imperial Commander. He hurt me using his Seventh-grade Gilded Immortal cultivation.” Lan Yu complained as she pointed at the Qinghua Imperial Commander and stared at him with her sapphire blue eyes.

She sounded like a child telling her parents that someone had bullied her at school.

It was rare for Lan Yu to behave this way, but it had been twenty years since she saw Chu Kuangren, so she ought to use the chance to her advantage, asking to be pampered.

Chu Kuangren looked at the Qinghua Imperial Commander. “Oh, look. An old friend.”

“Chu Kuangren, how are you still alive?!”

The Qinghua Imperial Commander clenched his fists tightly, his gaze shifted multiple times but all revealed a hint of reverence.

Ji De and the others looked at him, remembering what he said earlier.

“If Chu Kuangren is alive, I will fight him to relive the glory of the Immortal Hall!”

His wish had been granted.

Chu Kuangren was alive, and they all waited for him to fight the man.

Deep inside their hearts, they scoffed at the Qinghua Imperial Commander for acting cool.

“You look disappointed to see me alive,” Chu Kuangren said calmly. His hands were behind his back as he took a step forward to the Prodigies.

The sudden approach shocked and terrified them, causing them to instinctively retreat rapidly with pale faces.

However, when they finally came to their senses, they felt humiliated.

All he did was take a step closer to them, yet they were horrified as if they saw ghosts.

Had Chu Kuangren scarred them for life?

“So what if you are alive? You think this is twenty years ago?”

“It’s different now. You were trapped in the Bagua Furnace for twenty years, and we have surpassed you. Your appearance now is a chance for us to defeat you!” said the Qinghua Imperial Commander as his energy surged gradually.

The azure sword in his hand shone brightly.

“I’m interested to see how far you have surpassed me,” Chu Kuangren said.

He stood on the spot with his hands behind his back and an expressionless look on his face as if he did not take their words seriously.

Twenty years later, he remained as arrogant as ever.

“Chu Kuangren!”

To prove his claims, the Qinghua Imperial Commander attacked.

As he swung his sword forward, his Immortal Core energy surged and expanded the endless tempest outward.

“Endless Tempest Tribulation!”

The wind and lightning, coupled with the sword qi and bolts of lightning, formed a violent tempest. It swept across the field and attacked Chu Kuangren.

It all happened in a blink of an eye, but the tempest devoured him completely.

Kaboom…

A series of loud explosions later, the seemingly endless energy scattered in the void.

Even a Higher Third-grade Gilded Immortal would have to suffer before such a powerful attack.

However, the Qinghua Imperial Commander knew Chu Kuangren was no ordinary foe, so he did not stop after the first attack. Quite the opposite, he infused even more energy into his sword and channeled even more of his Immortal’s Core.

Endless wind and lightning crushed the land that Chu Kuangren stood on, leaving everything in desolation.

The full strength of the Qinghua Imperial Commander left everyone in awe.

“What terrifying power! I believe Chu Kuangren can’t withstand it!”

“Indeed. It’s really powerful.”

“He has been trapped in the furnace for so long, suffering the Heavenly Flame’s endless burning. I don’t think he had the time to continue his cultivation. He should be grateful that he isn’t dead.”

A heated discussion sparked among the sky-prides, and some had a thin sliver of hope that someone would be strong enough to match Chu Kuangren’s strength.

Twenty years ago, the entire younger generation was overpowered by a single person, and everyone lived under his shadows.

It was a terrible feeling, and no one would want to live that fearful life again.

“Chu Kuangren, you are still as arrogant as ever. To think you’re not even trying to dodge my full attack. You’re either heavily injured or dead!” The Qinghua Imperial Commander grinned.

“So this is the so-called surpassing me?”

At the end of the tempest came a slightly disappointed voice.

The tempest was then torn apart by a vast Immortal’s Core energy.

A white figure stood in the eye of the storm with Immortal Sparks shimmering around him, and the land that he stood on was badly ruined.

However, he remained standing on the spot, unharmed.

The Qinghua Imperial Commander’s eyes shrank in fear. He had unleashed his full attack, yet he was unable to leave a scratch on Chu Kuangren.

How was it possible?
