Chapter 715 - Attack of the Two Heavenly Imperials, Wait Here
Asteroid Seven.
Chu Kuangren, Shang Honghua, and the Redshirt Army had collected more pieces of Chaos Emblems. This was already the fiftieth Chaos Emblem they had collected. Among them, there was one Superb-tier, four High-tier, and sixteen Mid-tier Chaos Emblems.
The rest were Low-tier Chaos Emblems.
Apart from the Superb-tier and High-tier Chaos Emblems, the rest were given to Shang Honghua and the others to be split amongst themselves.
Those Mid-tier and Low-tier Soul Emblems would not be of much use to him anyway.
A single Superb-tier Chaos Emblem was worth thousands of Mid-tier and Low-tier Chaos Emblems.
Besides these Chaos Emblems, Chu Kuangren had killed no small number of Blood Tribe troops on the way too. By now, the combat merits he accumulated had already reached the tens of thousands.
Just that Heavenly Imperial from the fight before had contributed ten thousand combat merits to him.
A normal Emperor would be worth a thousand combat merits each.
As for a Heavenly Imperial, they would be worth ten thousand each instead.
“Most of the Chaos Emblems on this asteroid have been found by now. It looks like our haul this time is a little unsatisfactory.”
Chu Kuangren said as he shook his head. They had only found about a dozen of Chaos Emblems after having searched across the whole asteroid.
On the contrary, Shang Hong and the others were not disappointed at all. The amount of Chaos Emblems they have gathered had greatly exceeded their expectations.
Chaos Emblems were rare, to begin with. Some of the ordinary Emperors would fight and even kill just to obtain one of the Low-tier ones.
Right now, they have dozens of them!
“With this Chaos Emblem, I’ll certainly reach the Expert Initial Emperor Realm!” Baili Quan said happily.
She was now a Rank Three Initial Emperor. Once she returned and refined that Low-tier Chaos Emblem in her closed-door meditation, it would be enough to increase her cultivation realm to another level!
“All of this is thanks to Brother Chu. If it weren’t for his treasure-finding skill, we’d never be able to find so many Chaos Emblems so smoothly.”
Baili Xue looked at Chu Kuangren with utmost gratitude.
The rest of them had a look of admiration in their eyes too.
Chu Kuangren chuckled and said nothing.
However, he suddenly frowned and looked into the distance. “Two powerful auras are approaching us. It’s the Heavenly Imperials of the Blood Tribe.”
“What?”
“Why are the Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperials here?!”
“Quick, activate the concealment restriction.”
Everyone’s expression changed.
Shang Honghua immediately attacked by tossing out a large red mantle over everyone. It completely concealed their presence and auras from the outside.
The two Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperials stopped in mid-air.
One of the Blood Spirit Tribe’s Heavenly Imperial sneered. “Not bad for a concealment technique. I don’t think even ordinary Heavenly Imperials will be able to find you. However, do you possibly think you can hide from me?!”
The Blood Spirit Tribe’s Heavenly Imperial let out a terrifying punch, which instantly blew apart that mountain range, splitting it in half. A huge crack stretching thousands of kilometers had appeared on the ground.
The red mantle that Shang Honghua used to hide everyone’s presence instantly shattered!
The tremendous punch blast surged towards them like a crashing tsunami.
“This is bad!”
Shang Honghua’s expression changed. She started channeling her Emperor qi and was about to block the punch blast to protect her Redshirt Army.
Alas, the Daoist pattern and Emperor qi contained in that punch blast came from a Heavenly Imperial. As such, it would be very hard for Shang Honghua to resist it.
At that critical moment, a figure immediately leaped forward.
Chu Kuangren gently raised his hand, and a vortex formed in his palm.
“Empyrean Maelstrom!”
Invincible Technique, Empyrean Maelstrom!
That punch blast was absorbed and converted by his vortex. After that, he raised his hand, sending that attack back to the two Heavenly Imperials in the form of a magnificent strength qi.
The two Heavenly Imperials destroyed that incoming attack.
“Oh, this Esoteric Art… It’s interesting.”
A playful smile etched across the Blood Spirit Heavenly Imperial’s face.
“It’s a Blood Spirit Tribe Heavenly Imperial. The Blood Spirits are the ones with the most perceptive sense in the Blood Tribe. No wonder they could find us so quickly.”
Shang Honghua uttered with a grim expression.
Defeating a Heavenly Imperial was impossible for her.
Not to mention, there were two of them.
‘Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade was right. The Asteroid Belt Seven has truly become a more active and intense battlefield. Powerful cultivators on a Heavenly Imperial’s level have appeared one after another.’
“You guys wait for me here. I’ll be back in a second.”
Chu Kuangren said.
“Let me help.”
“I said, wait here!”
Chu Kuangren’s tone became colder and harsh. “A fight between Heavenly Imperials is not something you can intervene. Just stay here and take care of the Redshirt Army.”
Shang Honghua fell silent for a while. “Alright, you need to be careful too.”
“It’s just two Heavenly Imperials.”
Chu Kuangren said as his figure disappeared in a flash.
Shang Honghua then stood where she was and ordered her Redshirt Army to be on guard. She looked into the air, feeling slightly unwilling. “I’m still too weak. When facing a Heavenly Imperial, I can only hide behind others.”
Up in the sky.
Chu Kuangren arrived before the two Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperials.
“Looks like that cultivator was right. Shang Honghua really is here. As for you, I suppose you’re the one who took that Superb-tier Chaos Emblem.” The Blood Spirit Tribe Heavenly Imperial looked at Chu Kuangren and sneered.
That was when Chu Kuangren realized that someone had exposed his and Shang Honghua’s whereabouts. Besides that, that person also knew he had the Superb-tier Chaos Emblem on him.
Chu Kuangren already knew who it was without needing to guess.
“Looks like I had saved a traitorous scum earlier.”
Chu Kuangren said while shaking his head.
He then looked at the two Heavenly Imperials in front of him and analyzed their information with his Omniscient Spirit, Lil Ai. Soon, he knew everything about his opponents.
Especially that Blood Spirit Tribe’s Heavenly Imperial.
That person’s physique was much different compared to the others, as it was more similar to an astral body instead. However, a physical body was not required for it to possess or attach to.
That fact alone was very peculiar.
Only beings with an incredibly powerful soul could roam about in their astral form without any repercussions.
Otherwise, any being with its soul separated from its physical body would deplete its soul power quickly, and they would never be able to stay in that form for long.
“I see.”
After analyzing them, Chu Kuangren came to a realization.
At that moment, the two Heavenly Imperials made their move.
“Yue Zhaowu, I’ll get rid of Shang Honghua first. I’ll leave this unknown Heavenly Imperial to you,” the Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial said.
Yue Zhaowu nodded. “Very well.”
The Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial then headed towards Shang Honghua and the others.
“Did I say you can leave?”
Chu Kuangren spoke up.
He then gently lifted his hand, and a miniverse suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, the two Heavenly Imperial’s expressions changed drastically.
“Such a miniverse… How’s this possible?!”
The two Heavenly Imperials felt an immeasurably terrifying pressure weighing upon them the instant Chu Kuangren’s miniverse appeared. They were forced to unleash their miniverses to resist.
The three miniverses collided in the air.
The void was distorted and blown apart!
An invisible pressure soon enveloped the surrounding areas.
Even if they were not caught in the miniverses, Shang Honghua and her troops below still shuddered due to that pressure.
“Is this a Heavenly Imperial’s miniverse? It’s so powerful!”
“It’s too terrifying.”
“Compared to the Initial Emperors, the Heavenly Imperials are on a completely different level!”
Even the prideful Shang Honghua’s pupil shrank in fear. However, she was not shocked by the power of a Heavenly Imperial as her forefather was one. She had understood the difference in power between the two a long time ago.
However, she was shocked that Chu Kuangren could hold his own and even gain the upper hand against the miniverses of two Heavenly Imperials!
“I can’t believe he’s so powerful!”
For the first time, Shang Honghua felt an unprecedented sense of frustration from one of her peers.
