Chapter 745 - Rank First on the Battle Leaderboard, One Billion and Three Hundred Million Combat Mer
“The battle leaderboard has been updated.”
At this time, a voice came from beside them.
Many people quickly went to check it out.
As the battle between the Blood Tribe and Firmament Star had started, many capable people have made achievements in battle. Therefore, the rankings of the battle leaderboard had also changed.
“Look, our commodore is ranked number forty-one.”
Luo Shui was calm when she heard this.
Even though she had killed many of the Blood Tribe forces on the battlefield, it was unrealistic for her to be ranked high on the battle leaderboard since she just returned.
Forty-one was neither high nor low. It was just right.
If she suddenly rose to a very high rank, she would start to doubt whether the others had been battling their enemies as much as she did. If that were the case, it would not end well for Firmament Star.
“Quick, let’s see Brother Chu’s ranking.”
Everyone said excitedly.
“Check the rankings.”
The soldier going through the battle leaderboard list kept on flipping his finger and scrolling through it. Then, he suddenly gasped.
“Found it. Battle leaderboard… ranked first!”
“Combat merits… One billion and three hundred million!”
One billion and three hundred million, and ranked first!
Countless stronghold soldiers were greatly shocked by this.
Even Luo Shui was a little stunned.
“How many of the Blood Tribe have you killed?”
“Hm…” Chu Kuangren pondered. “I didn’t really take count of it. But I think it’s around one billion.”
Gulp…
Everyone gulped in shock.
‘He has killed a billion within a few months.’
‘What a guy.’
‘That was even worse than committing a genocide!’
“There is no way such combat merits can be achieved by killing countless enemies alone. Brother Chu must have contributed a lot in this battle.”
“That’s right. With his Spatial Conveyor Skill, sword qi clones, Spring Breeze Healing Technique, and other techniques, there’s no telling how many lives he has saved.”
“Tsk tsk. There’s a reason he’s called the Battlefield Ruler after all.”
“Unless a Daoist Celestial intervenes, no one will be a match for Brother Chu. But since the Daoist Celestials from both sides are always keeping each other at bay, who would dare to take action?”
“Haha, all hail the mighty Brother Chu!”
One billion and three hundred million combat merits, and ranked first in the battle leaderboard!
The news quickly spread throughout the eighty-one strongholds.
Needless to say, everyone was shocked by this.
With that, the name “Chu Kuangren” was known to all!
“What a bad*ss. Not even three months into the battle between both sides, yet he has already reached a billion and three hundred million combat merits from one hundred million. Even the Daoist Celestials can’t possibly achieve this.”
“He’s the strongest person below the Daoist Celestials!”
“No. Not to mention the strongest person below him, but I think he can be a match to the Daoist Celestials.”
“That’s right. He’s certainly the greatest and most unprecedented talent throughout the Firmament Star’s history. Perhaps he can change the tide of war in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.”
“Haha. He deserves to be called the Battlefield Ruler alright!”
“I’m impressed, thoroughly impressed.”
“Achieving this level of success while being only a filibuster, what else can I say besides being convinced of his strength? I’m really looking forward to what he’ll become in the future.”
He had risen from being ranked thirty-one to ranked first in just a few months.
That progression speed of his had truly destroyed everyone’s common worldview.
However, no one was objecting to this, which was a rare occasion.
That was because Chu Kuangren’s achievements in the Firmament Star and Blood Tribe battle could no longer be described simply as “combat merits”.
Everyone knew that.
Once Chu Kuangren grew stronger in a hundred or even a thousand years, he would definitely become a force to be reckoned with. Then, he he could easily turn the tide of war in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Was a hundred or even a thousand years a long time?
The war between them and the Blood Tribe had been going on for twelve eras. A hundred or thousand years were nothing to them at all.
Chu Kuangren had not even turned thirty years old this year.
He was too young.
So young that it was simply unbelievable.
However, this meant that he possessed an immeasurable potential.
…
After attacking for three months, the Blood Tribe’s frequency of attacks decreased. Although there were small battles everywhere, there were no more large-scale battles so Chu Kuangren could rest for a few days.
He took advantage of this time to refine the Daoist Weapon, the Isolation Sealing Insignia he obtained a few months ago. That Daoist Weapon was no ordinary item. It was a weapon used for trapping people. If its full power was activated, even a Daoist Celestial might not be able to escape.
Following that, he contacted Yue Zhaowu, who was a spy he placed inside the Blood Tribe. He was a Heavenly Imperial cultivator and hence possessed a high status within the Blood Tribe. Due to this, he could often provide Chu Kuangren with some useful information.
“Master, as you’ve thwarted the attacks of most Blood Tribe’s frontline troops, they’ve decreased their attack frequencies and are now waiting to replenish their supplies from the rear camp.”
“Oh, replenish supplies from the rear camp?”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right.”
Resources were sometimes crucial in war. If the Firmament Star could gain the upper hand in terms of resources, it would make future battles easier and manageable.
However, if their enemies had an advantage in resources…
“Yue Zhaowu, do you have a map of the Blood Tribe’s resource transportation route?”
“I have a part of it.”
“Give it to me.”
Chu Kuangren soon obtained the Blood Tribe’s resource transportation route map from Yue Zhaowu. A glimmer of light flashed across his eyes.
He called Luo Shui over and explained the matter to her.
“Is this piece of intel reliable?”
“That Blood Tribe cultivator is under my control. He won’t betray me.”
“Although we know the Blood Tribe’s resource transportation route, it’s not going to be easy crossing through the Blood Tribe’s battlefield to intercept it.”
“Let me go then.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“Can you bring so many resources with you alone?”
Some resources could not be stored in the Yin and Yang ring because the energy fluctuations they emitted were too strong and could cause the Yin and Yang ring’s internal structure to collapse.
“I have refined a secret realm. It should be enough to fit all of the resources without fail,” Chu Kuangren said confidently.
With his mysterious Spatial Conveyor Skill and this secret realm that could store anything within it, Chu Kuangren might perhaps be the most suitable person to do this.
“Be careful.” Luo Shui reminded him.
“Got it.” Chu Kuangren chuckled. Then, with his Spatial Conveyor Skill activated, he turned around, walked into the void, and disappeared.
…
Dozens of warships were sailing through the vast universe.
Those were the Blood Tribe’s resource transport warships.
At that moment, ripples appeared in the void.
A white figure suddenly walked out from the void.
The person was Chu Kuangren.
Using his Spatial Conveyor Skill, he had traveled across half a lightyear here without disturbing any of the Blood Tribe’s frontline troops.
Chu Kuangren grinned a little while looking at a transport warship before him. After that, he sent out his Emperor Thought towards it to get a general idea of the situation of that fleet.
There were many cultivators on board, but the strongest among them was only a Heavenly Imperial.
He was an ordinary High-rank Heavenly Imperial at that too.
Someone like that posed no threat to Chu Kuangren at all.
“Don’t mind if I do then.”
Chu Kuangren’s figure flashed and arrived onboard one of the warships.
“Who is it?!”
“This aura… D*mn it. It’s someone from the Firmament Star.”
The Blood Tribe cultivators’ expressions changed.
However, before they could do anything, Chu Kuangren’s Descendant Self Sword unsheathed itself from his waist and flew across the void. The Blood Tribe cultivators were no match for that razor-sharp blade and were all killed off.
The Descendant Self Sword went on a rampage on the warship for a while.
Countless Blood Tribe cultivators were slaughtered effortlessly.
The other warships soon realized what happened and were going to come to their rescue. However, none of them could do a single thing against Chu Kuangren.
Soon, that whole fleet was annihilated by Chu Kuangren.
All the transported resources were then stored inside his secret realm.
“First transportation route, settled.”
