1933 More Than Half of the Nine Kings Under His Command, Everyone Gathers, A Meeting Is Being Held



Chu Kuangren slowly woke up.

By then, he had refined the Nether God's memories. Among the memories, the one that amazed him the most was naturally that mysterious gigantic purple door.

That door gave him a strong feeling that it might contain the secret of Transcendence itself!

"Interesting."

"I didn't expect to get such a wonderful reward from fighting the Nether God this time. The secrets of Transcendence, huh? Ha! How exciting indeed."

Onboard the warship, the four ladies — Luo Xue, Long Shuijing, Feng Qiyu, and Heaven Maiden You — were gathered together. They looked at each other with a faint hint of competition in the air.

"When did so many women appear by the Heavenly Sword's side? I wonder what kind of relationship they have with him," Heaven Maiden You thought.

"What a guy. The Heavenly Sword's charm is truly irresistible. Moreover, these three ladies before me possess the extraordinary potential to become God Kings in the future."

"There are very few female God Kings in this universe, but how wonderful it is to think that most of them are related to the Heavenly Sword. If we were to fight, who would emerge victorious?" Feng Qiyu secretly compared her strength to the others. 

Luo Xue held her snowy-white sword as her sword intent swirled all over her. However, no one around her responded with sword intent. After all, none of the others were sword cultivators.

'On this warship, besides the Heavenly Sword, I'm the only other sword cultivator!'

'This is something I have in common with the Heavenly Sword!'

Luo Xue's head was raised slightly as if she already won against the others.

"Hmph, so what if you're a puny sword cultivator? I, for one, am one of the Nine Kings. Besides, I have control over the whole Dragon Tribe. Our forces are waiting to follow Master's orders at any moment!"

"I should be the most important person to Master."

Seemingly noticing Luo Xue's intention, Long Shuijing let out a soft snort in her heart.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Shadow was standing beside the four ladies, observing them. There was a playful expression on his face. "As expected of the Devil's Master. He can still make these ladies submit to him without doing anything. It looks like the Devil still has much to learn."

At that moment, Chu Kuangren walked out of his quarters.

The ladies immediately looked at him in unison, surprising Chu Kuangren in return. 'What are they doing sitting with each other like that? Are they having a mental sparring match?'

'How diligent.'

'Very well. That's why they're worth nurturing.'

"Luo Xue, this is for you."

Chu Kuangren took out an ancient rune.

It was the King's Mark.

Upon seeing it, Luo Xue was shocked.

"Heavenly Sword, are you really going to give me the King's Mark?"

"That's right. This item is worthless to the Heavens, but it will be of great use to you. As a friend of the Heavens, I look forward to seeing you grow."

He had decided to do that before he went to help Luo Xue — that he would let her become the bearer of the King's Mark and bring her under his control!

Luo Xue took a deep breath and accepted that priceless item.

She wanted more power.

She had been feeling frustrated for too long for being manipulated and having no control over her own destiny. She never wanted to go through that again. Besides, she knew that only by becoming stronger would she be worthy of standing by the Heavenly Sword's side.

After receiving the King's Mark, Luo Xue started refining it.

Soon, a powerful sword intent erupted from the cabin. It swept up powerful gusts of wind and snow everywhere, causing dozens of nearby ancient planets to be covered in snow.

That was Luo Xue's sword intent.

She had successfully refined the King's Mark.

"All the Nine Kings have appeared," Chu Kuangren murmured.

Besides Luo Xue, the remaining eight cultivators of the Nine Kings were Heaven Maiden You, Tian Xingcai, Ling Fei, Long Shuijing, Lei Shentian, Xuan Yuanfeng, the Nether God, and Luo Yunxiu. Out of the nine of them, five were now under his command!

Meanwhile, the remaining four cultivators had lost to him before in battle.

"The Nine Kings shall rule the Central Heaven Universe?"

"Heh."

Chu Kuangren could not help but shake his head and laugh.

However, the growth potential of the Nine Kings was far beyond that of any ordinary Prodigies as each of them was an Outlier.

Even Ling Fei, who possessed average talents, experienced tremendous growth after receiving the King's Mark. According to recent intel from the Spiritual Sword Tribe, he had broken through to the Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal Realm.

Those individuals would undoubtedly become the main pillars of support for the whole Central Heaven Universe.

Furthermore, they would also be the main striking force when invading the Pan Gu Universe.

As of now, Chu Kuangren had more than half of them under his command, which meant that he had gained a great advantage in the war against the Central Heaven Universe.

"Seeing that the future will be unpredictable, it's time for the individuals under my command to gather and get to know each other," Chu Kuangren thought.

He then found an unknown ancient planet in the middle of nowhere and sent out a message.

After a while, the individuals under Chu Kuangren's control arrived one after another.

In the void, a vast surge of rage qi erupted.

The person who appeared was holding a pitch-black longsword with serrated edges. Upon seeing him, Luo Xue could not help but frown. "Ling Fei?"

"Yeah?"

"I can't believe you have taken ownership of that sword. Aren't you afraid of being consumed by the rage qi?" Luo Xue asked anxiously.

The sword in Ling Fei's hand was the Calamitous Heavenly Sword Slayer. It was the same one used by the Heavenly Bloodthirst of the Armament Destruction Tribe back then. That sword was known as a true sword of rage!

"I'm the one who's controlling it now, not the other way around!"

Ling Fei let out a confident smile.

Luo Xue looked at him and noticed something. Although the sword rage qi swirling around him was very dense, Ling Fei's gaze was still sharp and clear.

It did not appear like he was consumed by rage at all.

"It looks like you've been cultivating the Demonic Heart Purification pretty diligently," Chu Kuangren said.

"Ha! I still have you to thank for this, Heavenly Sword," said Ling Fei as he expressed his gratitude with a fist salute.

At that moment, a gigantic warship was approaching from outer space.

Many pirates could be seen onboard that warship.

Their leader was none other than Shinra Pirate.

"All of you, wait for me here. I'm going to see the Heavenly Sword."

Shinra Pirate said with a smile before entering the ancient planet alone. He arrived before Chu Kuangren and greeted him with cupped fists. "How are you doing, Heavenly Sword?"

"You're here. Take a seat."

Chu Kuangren waved his sleeves, making a huge round table appear out of nowhere.

There were ten seats around the round table.

Shinra Pirate, Heaven Maiden You, Ling Fei, Feng Qiyu, Long Shuijing, Luo Xue, and the Heavenly Shadow each took a seat.

Including Chu Kuangren, eight out of the ten seats were occupied.

Two seats were still empty.

Shinra Pirate understood that Chu Kuangren would not do anything unnecessary, so the two empty seats must mean that two people still had not arrived.

He then took a look at the others.

'D*mn, all of them are no ordinary cultivators.'

Heaven Maiden You was the Mystic Divination Tribe's Heavenly Maiden.

Long Shuijing was the Dragon Tribe's current Queen.

Feng Qiyu was the Eighth Seat of the Temple Sequence.

Luo Xue was the Tenth Seat of the Temple Sequence, and there seemed to be a faint change in her aura too.

Ling Fei, whose body was overflowing with sword rage qi, was quite frightening indeed.

Besides, there was also the Heavenly Shadow, who was quite a mysterious person. Even a Supreme God King like Shinra Pirate could feel a great sense of threat coming from him.

Then, there was Chu Kuangren, the one who organized this meeting.

Buzz!

Just then, the surrounding stars trembled.

Endless starlight started intertwining in the void, and a gorgeous woman holding a sword appeared amidst the starlight. It was none other than Tian Xingcai.

She bowed before Chu Kuangren. "Greetings, Heavenly Sword."

"Take a seat."

Tian Xingcai nodded gently.

Everyone looked at her and noticed her extraordinary aura.

She, too, was one of the Nine Kings.

'By the heavens…'

'How many of the Nine Kings are present here?'

Shinra Pirate gulped, and deep down, he was shocked.

He had a strong hunch that the meeting would potentially affect the future balance of power in the entire Central Heaven Universe.

"There's one more person left. Who could it be?" The Shinra Pirate secretly thought.

At that moment, golden clouds rolled in from the distance, followed by an incredibly dense Emperor aura. A figure in gold soon arrived.

The person who came was a Supreme God King of the Emperor Tribe and the Left Guardian of the Central Heaven Temple, Di Feitian!
