Chapter 821 - Changes In Firmament Star, Warship, The Immortal Progenies Are Coming
The threats of the gods were over.
Firmament Star was swiftly rebuilding its own. Meanwhile, the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial and the Formation Daoist Celestial were busy researching new warship designs. Everything was going smoothly.
Firmament Star saw a period of peace that lasted at least half a year.
Within this period, drastic changes occurred in Firmament Star. Under Elder Ruyan’s leadership, most orthodoxies and nations heard about the tales of the Human King, and the entire planet was overwhelmed with shock.
Chu Kuangren was the Human King?!
This news caught most of Firmament Star off guard.
While several orthodoxies did not know what the Human King was all about, they were certainly familiar with Chu Kuangren, the most terrifying being to exist in the history of Firmament Star.
Most orthodoxies who had heard of the Human King were archaic orthodoxies, and they were the most astonished to learn that Chu Kuangren was the Human King.
After the orthodoxies recovered from their shock, next came the news of their integration into the empire.
Most of them did not have the power to decline such a request.
Initially, a handful of forces attempted to resist, especially those orthodoxies managed by an Emperor or two.
However, as eager as they were to rebel, it would only take one Daoist Celestial to interfere before they submitted.
Within a short half a year, most renowned orthodoxies in Firmament Star had yielded and agreed to be placed under the jurisdiction of the new empire.
While Firmament Star was undergoing a massive reformation.
In the Extraterritorial Region.
A warship was gradually being constructed in the vast space of the universe.
On deck, countless bright Daoist patterns flowed before Formation Daoist Celestial and the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial while they were testing the warship’s strength.
As rays of lights converged upon a cannon that was mounted on the forecastle of the warship, the surrounding spiritual power swarmed towards it.
The bore of the cannon glowed as lights spun near its muzzle…
Spiritual power was being compressed…
As the spiritual power reached the cannon’s limit, a beam of light shot out from the muzzle, penetrating straight into an uninhabited asteroid in the distance.
The beam went through the asteroid seamlessly before it continued traveling a vast amount of distance.
Wherever the beam traveled, the void around it crumbled, and destruction followed!
The penetrated asteroid imploded into a series of colorful explosions that painted the dark universe.
Soon, the energy of the beam gradually depleted as its light faded away.
However, the Formation Daoist Celestial and the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial were still stunned.
“Gulp…”
The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial gulped. “This power has surpassed that of a peak-stage Minor Daoist Celestial. What an incredible display of power.”
Despite being one of the inventors of this warship, the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial was still surprised by the warship’s ability.
“However, this blast consumed too much energy. It took up twenty percent of the ship’s energy storage, so we must take note to use it wisely.”
“Agreed.”
“Judging from the Firmament Star’s resources, how many more of this warship can we construct?”
“Three more of them.”
The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial smacked his lips and said.
“Let’s continue.”
…
In another location of the universe.
A large formation of warships was sailing towards the Firmament Star. These warships belonged to… the Blood Tribe!
On the deck of a large main warship.
A pompously dressed man was sitting on the deck with a long sword laid before him. The man seethed with the presence of terrifying sword qi.
Several Blood Kings, who were standing beside him, were visibly uneasy.
“His aura is extraordinary and stronger than most Daoist Celestial. No wonder he’s considered a genius from Planet Zi.”
The Argent King said solemnly.
“Apparently, he ascended into the Daoist Celestial Realm before he reached a thousand years of cultivation experience. However, a genius like him isn’t even considered the top ten strongest cultivators in Planet Zi. The strongest cultivators in Planet Zi are all Immortal Progenies!”
King Yue lamented.
Planet Zi was one of the two Immortal civilizations in the Violet Gold Galaxy, and Immortal Progenies were the most remarkable sky-prides of these civilizations!
As its name suggested, Immortal Progenies were the descendants of Immortals.
Every Immortal Progeny possessed the potential to become an Immortal.
Of course, the emphasis was on their potential.
Even for the Immortal Progenies, ascending into an Immortal was a mammoth task.
For dozens of eras in Planet Zi, the civilization had nurtured many Immortal Progenies. Yet, not a single Immortal had been nurtured in Planet Zi.
It was a testimonial to how difficult becoming an Immortal was.
However, this did not take away how strong the Immortal Progenies were.
After all, they were cultivators who could ascend into Immortals. Although the Blood Kings were powerful Daoist Celestials, it was impossible for them to become Immortals.
“Immortal Progenies… How I envy these people.”
The Argent King stared into the hull of the ship.
Over there sat an Immortal Progeny.
“Hey, are we there yet?”
The sitting youngster asked the Blood King.
“Soon, we still have approximately half a month to go.”
The Argent King answered.
“It’s been so many years, yet you still failed to capture Firmament Star. Don’t you think the Blood Tribe civilization is useless?”
The youngster said indifferently.
“Brother Li, please mind your words.”
The Argent King took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
“The Planet Zi is funding half of the cost in this operation. What can you do if I decide not to mind my words?”
“These resources were provided in exchange for our Heaven Devourer Techniques.”
“Then you should be glad that Planet Zi has taken a liking to what you’ve offered. Otherwise, you’ll be sitting ducks for the next several eras.” The youngster did not improve his tone.
“Hmph.” The Argent King snorted and did not say anything else.
“The only entity who’s somewhat powerful in Blood Tribe is the Blood God himself. Alas, in his effort to ascend beyond the Heavenly Daoist Celestial Realm, he resorted to devouring the Heavenly Dao and put himself in deep slumber for dozens of eras to this date.”
The youngster continued.
At that, the Blood Kings’ faces turned grim.
The Blood God was a key pillar of the Blood Tribe’s religion, so the youngster’s remarks had fundamentally infringed upon their beliefs. The Blood Kings were finding it difficult to control their anger any longer.
“Li Feng, we’re here to work together with the Blood Tribe. Mind your manners.”
A clear voice sounded from within the warship.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Li Feng immediately lowered his head in respect.
Only then did the Blood Kings manage to soothe their anger.
“I heard that a young sky-pride from Firmament Star is responsible for the Blood Tribe’s recent losses. Is that true?”
The voice spoke again. This time, it was directed to the Blood Kings.
At the mention of this, a look of hatred was revealed in the Argent King’s eyes. “That’s right. He’s called Chu Kuangren, and because of him, we’re…”
The Argent King narrated all of the incidents surrounding Chu Kuangren.
The voice went quiet for a moment after that. Then, it continued speaking, “If my intuition is right, he’s also an Immortal Progeny.”
“That’s possible.” The Argent King nodded.
That cultivation level at that age…
It was entirely plausible that Chu Kuangren was an Immortal Progeny.
“Pfft. Even if he is, he’s dead now. There’s nothing to be afraid of a dead Immortal Progeny,” Li Feng chuckled from the side.
‘But you’re not even an Immortal Progeny.’
The Argent King secretly mocked.
…
Near an uninhabited planet in the universe.
A ray of light appeared in the vicinity.
Chu Kuangren watched the brownish-yellow asteroid as his eyes glimmered with excitement. “Lil Ai, analyze this planet.”
“Analyzing… This is a Category Four Planet. It contains a rich amount of Daoist gold and spirit mines. Once consumed, your Stellar Undying Body will reach the Expert stage,” said the Omniscient Spirit.
In the past few days, Chu Kuangren had subsequently consumed more than a dozen planets and upgraded his Stellar Undying Body to the peak of its Novice stage.
He was so close to upgrading it to the Expert stage.
“Expert Stellar Undying Body? I can’t wait.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled before he dashed towards the surface of the planet and began drilling down to its core with his body..
