Chapter 1233 - The Ultimate Human Emperor Technique, the Blooded Crimson Armor and Sword

The Human Emperors had the same equal level of standing with the heavens!

The heavens referred in this context meant the ancient will of the Immortal World!

During ancient Immortal times, as long as someone was a Human Emperor, regardless of their cultivation level, he or she would stand on the same level of existence with the heavens themselves!

However, ever since the two Immortal Halls instigated the Great Deification War, there were no more Human Emperors in the world after King Zhou!

It was said that later, after that great calamity, someone known as King Qin tried to restore the Human Emperor's name to its former glory. Alas, he failed in the end.

That made King Zhou the final Human Emperor in the world.

"Although I fell in that battle, some remnants of my Immortal Consciousness remained. Daji managed to recover my remnant Immortal Consciousness from the battlefield, and because she was the daughter of Emerald Hill's Fox King, the Immortal Hall dared not to seek trouble with her. In the end, she came to the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave and left her inheritance alongside mine here."

"I can't reverse what happened to the Human Emperor. However, my high priest once had a premonition that one day, someone worthy of my name would appear, take up my title, and return the Human Emperor's name to its former glory!"

"I now have a reason to believe you are the one."

King Zhou looked at Chu Kuangren with brightly lit eyes.

Being skilled enough to fully master his Blade of Zhou technique in just three days, describing that level of cognizance as monstrous would still be an understatement.

He had a reason to believe that Chu Kuangren was the one he was waiting for — the one who could restore the glory of the Human Emperor.

Besides, he also sensed the presence of humanity's fortune on Chu Kuangren.

"Restore the glory of the Human Emperor?" Chu Kuangren mumbled. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "No matter how powerful the Human Emperor is, they are only on an equal level with the heavens. As for me, my goal is to reach beyond the heavens!"

Becoming the emperor of humanity on a level of existence beyond the heavens?

"Beyond the heavens…"

"Haha, interesting! Very interesting! You're more ambitious than I thought. Alright, are you prepared to inherit my inheritance?" King Zhou said with a serious gaze.

"I am," Chu Kuangren said calmly.

After that, King Zhou's figure dispersed into countless sparks of light that entered Chu Kuangren's body.

Suddenly, an incredibly mysterious cultivation technique appeared in his mind — the Ultimate Human Emperor Technique!

It was a cultivation technique related to fortune.

The chosen cultivator could never use the technique to increase his or her cultivation level. However, they could use it to solidify humanity's fortune and construct the True Emperor Dragons!

That was the most important cultivation technique for Human Emperors, and only the Human Emperors throughout history could cultivate that technique.

Now that the final Human Emperor, King Zhou, had passed this cultivation technique to Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren was the only one in the current world who knew that technique.

He had accepted the mission of being a Human Emperor!

"Back on the Firmament Star, I was their Human King. And now, I've become the Human Emperor in the Immortal World. The cycle of karma is truly fascinating."

After mastering the Ultimate Human Emperor Technique, Chu Kuangren grinned.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, the Dark Fox Maiden Sage was the first to come out from the ball of light.

She was frowning and a little angry. "I still can't get Daji's inheritance in the end."

Then, she looked at Tushan Fei Yu, who was still accepting the inheritance. A killing intent revealed in her eyes. 'Should I kill her right now?'

"I suggest you better not mess around." A soft and gentle voice rang out.

She turned around only to see Daji standing behind her with a calm expression.

"Why didn't you choose me as your successor?"

"Dark Foxes aren't fit to inherit my legacy," Daji said calmly.

The Dark Fox Maiden Sage's expression changed. "So you've seen through my true form."

"It's not really that hard."

"Hmph, one day, my Dark Fox Tribe will replace the Emerald Hill and Tushan as the true yokai fox orthodoxy."

"It doesn't matter which tribe becomes the true orthodoxy. The most important thing is this. If the Dark Foxes can't get rid of their weaknesses, they shall meet their end one day."

"That is none of your concern," the Dark Fox Maiden Sage said coldly before she left.

However, that was when she saw Chu Kuangren and shuddered uncontrollably. "Why is he here?"

"He's inheriting an inheritance."

"Is it the Human Emperor's inheritance?"

The Dark Fox Maiden Sage soon recalled what the Tengu Bachelor Sage told her about the Human Emperor's inheritance.

She looked at that crimson armor and greatsword with a coveting gaze. However, she soon held back her greed.

Those two items were unrelated to her, no matter how she thought about it.

Putting aside Chu Kuangren and Daji's threat, just the fact that those were the Human Emperor's items meant that no yokai should not get involved with it.

"Chu Kuangren is already so overpowered. With the Human Emperor's inheritance, it looks like he'll be even more powerful after this."

"How are you so sure he's going to obtain the Human Emperor's inheritance?" Daji said curiously.

She did not know Chu Kuangren much and had not heard much about him.

"Well, I don't know about everyone else, but if it's Chu Kuangren we're talking about, he's certainly going to succeed. He's a monster who could not be understood by common logic after all," said the Dark Fox Maiden Sage.

Although that was the first time she met Chu Kuangren, she had heard a lot of rumors about him.

He was undoubtedly a being that could not be understood by normal means.

If most inheritances were given based on the criteria of the person's talent, and Chu Kuangren was more than talented, who else could be more worthy of receiving the Human Emperor's inheritance than him?

Besides, the fact that a human could even step foot into the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave was already a miracle.

'Who else could the Human Emperor even give it to? His Immortal Consciousness would've dispersed by the time the next human comes here.'

"Is that so? If he really succeeds, King Zhou's last dying wish will finally be fulfilled," Daji said happily.

Without saying anything else, the Dark Fox Maiden Sage looked at Chu Kuangren and frowned.

'Should I take this chance to end him?'

Upon further thought, she gave up on that intention.

"For such a good-looking guy, it'll be such a shame if he dies."

Moreover, she could not be sure whether Chu Kuangren or Daji would have any measures taken against her if she did kill him.

'Attacking him here would be too risky.'

Worst-case scenario, she might even lose her life.

As such, she turned around and left the palace.

"The Dark Fox Tribe is truly a pitiful tribe." Daji shook her head and lamented.

At that time, Chu Kuangren slowly opened his eyes.

As his consciousness returned to his body, he looked at the crimson armor and the greatsword with his thoughts mobilized.

The armor and greatsword automatically entered his body.

It was obvious that those two Arch Gilded Immortal Weapons had taken him as their master.

Both armor and sword were known as the Blooded Crimson.

The Blooded Crimson Sword and the Blooded Crimson Armor were the Arch Gilded Immortal Weapons that King Zhou wielded in battle. Although not as powerful as the Humanity Fortune Treasures like the Nine Province Cauldrons or the Xuanyuan Sword, the Blooded Crimson was still an extraordinary weapon.

On top of King Zhou's cultivation level, he was no weaker than the Human Emperors before him.

"It looks like you've obtained his inheritance."

Daji looked at Chu Kuangren with a smile.

"Yeah, I did."

"Wonderful. It looks like our final wishes have been fulfilled," said Daji while looking at Tushan Fei Yu beside her. "This girl is quite talented as well. She's almost done accepting my inheritance."

Sure enough, the moment she said those words, Tushan Fei Yu opened her eyes with a spark of light flashing across them.

The ball of light surrounding her gradually dispersed.

She smiled. "I did it. I've finally inherited Daji's inheritance."

Many yokai foxes throughout the history of Emerald Hill and Tushan had tried to obtain Daji's inheritance. However, all of them returned empty-handed. Only Tushan Fei Yu succeeded in the end.

Chu Kuangren, too, had noticed that her aura was more dignified and glamorous than before.

"Brother Chu, I didn't expect you to be here. Oh, right. Where has the Dark Fox Maiden Sage gone?" Tushan Fei Yu said with a puzzled look.

She and the Dark Fox Maiden Sage accepted the trial at the same time. However, the Dark Fox Maiden Sage was nowhere to be found now.

"She must've left," Chu Kuangren said calmly.

What surprised him was that the Dark Fox Maiden Sage did not attack him while he was accepting the inheritance.

Then again, he would be fine even if she did take action.

'She made a wise choice indeed.'
