1498 Run, Killing Skyward King, Shi Tianxuan Spewed Blood

“Who is this fool? Why is he here challenging the Chief?”

“The Skyward King of the Demon Kingdom. He’s a Prodigy who rivals the Side King in terms of strength, and the two of them seemed to be close.”

“That explains a lot. I heard the Chief killed several Prodigies when he came out from the Bagua Furnace, including the Side King of the Demon Kingdom. He must be here for revenge.”

The Skyward King stood in the air with demonic qi overflowing from his body.

Chu Kuangren was sparring with Lan Yu inside the academy as he wanted to test her improvements from the past twenty years.

The sudden arrival of the Skyward King put a frown on his face.

“Master, I’ll send him away,” said Lan Yu, who was prepared to fly up to the sky.

“It’s okay. I’ll go myself.”

“Master, you don’t have to deal with someone as petty as him.”

“It’s fine. I plan to leave the academy for Five Ways Mountain soon, so I’ll just deal with this Skyward King along the way,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

Dealing with a powerful Prodigy was something only Chu Kuangren could say in such an indifferent tone.

Lan Yu nodded. “If so, let’s go together, Master.”

“Very well.”

…

The Skyward King stood in the air, with his eyes bloodshot and anger overflowing.

He was one of the newest Prodigies who rose to prominence in the past twenty years. Hence, he had never seen Chu Kuangren before.

The only thing he knew was that Chu Kuangren had killed his brother-in-arms, the Side King.

Anger took over his sanity and drove him to Hundred Academy for vengeance while disregarding consequences.

It was then that the jade scroll at his waist buzzed.

“It’s from the King?”

The Skyward King tapped on it.

“Return immediately!” Shi Tianxuan ordered him to return to the Demon Kingdom at once.

However, the Skyward King frowned. “Your Majesty, Chu Kuangren killed my brother. I must avenge him with my own hands!”

“Fool! You are not Chu Kuangren’s match! Hen Changtian can’t even stand one slash from him. What can you possibly do? Return immediately!” Shi Tianxuan bellowed furiously.

Losing Hen Changtian cost the Demon Kingdom a proficient general, and if the Skyward King died, Shi Tianxuan would suffer tremendous losses as though he lost an arm.

“Your Majesty, I came with absolute resolution. I am above life and death now. I am not just here to avenge my fallen brother. I am also here to test his strength for you, hoping that it will increase your confidence in facing him in the future!” The Skyward King took a deep breath as strong determination flashed in his eyes.

He had to fight Chu Kuangren, for his fallen brother and for his King.

“Skyward King, don’t do something stupid–”

Shi Tianxuan continued to dissuade him but was interrupted by himself, “Your Majesty, it’s too late now.”

Before him was a figure in white, approaching him steadily, and behind the figure was a woman in silver armor.

The Skyward King had heard a lot about Chu Kuangren, but that would be his first time meeting the man in person.

With his white robes and black hair that resembled a deity, and his each and every move that screamed transcendental, all it took was a glance, and he left a deep impression on the Skyward King.

Unparalleled seemed to be the word invented for him exclusively.

“So, this is Chu Kuangren?” he muttered.

Shi Tianxuan heard him from the other end of the jade scroll. His expression changed as he screamed, “Run! This is an order!”

Back at the sky above Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren stared at the Skyward King. However, he heard a familiar voice from the jade scroll, his lips curled into a grin. “Shi Tianxuan, your man is much more courageous than you are, facing me in person.”

Crack!

The Skyward King crushed the jade scroll in anger. He took a deep breath and glared at Chu Kuangren. “Do not insult His Majesty! You shall pay with your blood for taking my brother’s life!”

Kaboom!

Even more terrifying demonic qi erupted from him and shook the void like an endless tide.

The halberd in his hand shone with a demonic light.

Lines of violet demonic patterns appeared on him and boosted his energy presence higher.

“Oh? That’s Chiyou’s demonic patterns. You’re one of the Chiyou Tribe.”

Chu Kuangren narrowed his gleaming eyes. Then, slivers of demonic qi also started circulating his body. “Since you’re from the Chiyou Tribe, this technique will be fitting to deal with you.”

“I heard you have acquired Chiyou’s inheritance and mastered the Great Wasteland Halbert Technique. Show me what you’ve got!”

“Demonic Tranquil Ocean Art!”

The Skyward King wielded his pitch-black halberd high and released violet demonic light into the air. The sea rumbled following the eruption of his energy, and even the realm trembled.

As the halberd swung down, the space around him was torn into pieces.

A rampant halberd ray shone, containing intense Gilded Traits inside.

Chu Kuangren stood firm. He pointed his sword hand sign forward and shot out a surge of demonic qi. He substituted the halberd with his finger and expanded the Daoist patterns of the Great Wasteland Halberd Technique.

“Great Wasteland Halberd Technique, Planetary Annihilation!”

At that moment, the space around him shattered, revealing terrifying images of planets imploding.

The Skyward King’s halberd ray melted like paper in water before the cosmic strike.

The Images from Planetary Annihilation continued forward indomitably, carrying dazzling light and great fear.

The halberd strike astonished the Skyward King.

“So this is Chiyou’s cultivation technique? It is powerful.”

Bang!

The strike destroyed the Skyward King’s body instantly, causing him to burst into a cloud of blood mist in the sky.

Standing in the sky, Chu Kuangren retracted the demonic qi from his finger with an expressionless look on his face. It was as though he had just squashed an ant.

The students of the academy who witnessed the battle were deeply inspired and astonished.

“Is this the Chief’s true strength? It’s terrifying!”

“He’s too strong!”

“Of course! The man who overpowered the universe was not a groundless title!”

“The Chief is invincible!”

After the initial shock, the students looked at Chu Kuangren with zealous admiration.

Chu Kuangren nodded at the crowd with a smile before he left with Lan Yu.

Back at the Demon Kingdom, Shi Tianxuan choked out of anger and spat a mouthful of blood.

Aside from the fact that Chu Kuangren was alive, the man had killed two of the Demon Kingdom’s strongest generals as soon as he returned.

Shi Tianxuan could not bear the losses.

“Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren! It’s either you or me!”

Shi Tianxuan clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes bloodshot. He gripped the Godkiller Spear tightly as demonic qi overflowed from his body. He looked to the general beside him and bellowed, “Hasten the expansion of the kingdom. I want to boost the kingdom’s fortune to a new height so that it can benefit my cultivation!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“And send someone to keep a close eye on Chu Kuangren. Report to me if there’s anything out of the blue.”

“Yes, Your Majesty…”

A number of the generals reacted heavily to the loss.

They knew the crisis had befallen the kingdom, and if Shi Tianxuan, their King, could not rival Chu Kuangren, the kingdom would end sooner or later.

As part of the Demon Kingdom, the only thing they could do now was to expand their lands to strengthen the kingdom’s fortune and fate, as well as help Shi Tianxuan increase his power by all means necessary.
