1552 Meeting The Underworld Ghost Emperor, Chaos Fragment, A Storm Raging In The Living World

“You’re right. I never took Yincao seriously. My real goal was to lure the two of you out of hiding,” Chu Kuangren said to Yanluo Forefather and Luyou.

He had been planning it since he returned from the Three-Lives River, and the siege on Yincao City was just a part of the plan.

The army from Fengdu, the reinforcement from the Holy Violet Emperor Planet, Yincao, Taishan, and even the High Priest were all his chess pieces to lure Yanluo Forefather and Luyou out here.

His real goal was to reform the reincarnation mechanism.

As a matter of fact, he did not know about Luyou’s existence, but it did not disrupt his plan.

If Luyou was out of the equation, he could have eliminated Yincao and turned his attention to Taishan later. The outcome would be the same regardless because the three great reincarnation mechanisms must be rebuilt.

Chu Kuangren peered down at the people from his throne. “From now on, the Underworld no longer has a Divine Underworld Daoist or three great Underworld cities. Only the Ghost Emperor exists!”

He slowly stood up and released an immensely powerful and domineering aura outward, covering the entire Underworld.

Endless Immortal Sparks shone across the old and the new as if they lit up the path to reincarnation.

“I’m the Underworld Ghost Emperor, Chu Kuangren. From now on, chant my name on the path to reincarnation, and your soul shall be protected!”

Chu Kuangren’s voice echoed across the Underworld and reincarnation paths like the Heavenly Might.

No one dared to doubt his words anymore.

Even the Embodiers were forced to kneel before him.

He had proven himself with absolute power.

“Hail the Underworld Ghost Emperor!”

The Underworld Terracotta Army was the first to kneel. Then, General Skull, the souls from Fengdu and Jue Wushen, and his men from the Holy Violet Emperor Planet all chanted Chu Kuangren’s name.

“Hail the Underworld Ghost Emperor!”

“Hail the Underworld Ghost Emperor!”

The Hellion Temple Kings of Yincao, the Magistrates of Taishan, and even their respective Embodiers were helpless against it.

Deep down, they knew if they refused to submit to Chu Kuangren’s might, they would be eliminated in a blink of an eye.

“Hail the Underworld Ghost Emperor!” Yanluo Forefather finally submitted after taking a deep breath.

“Hail the Underworld Ghost Emperor!” Luyou followed as well.

The High Priest wore a relieving smile and knelt before Chu Kuangren wholeheartedly. “Hail the Underworld Ghost Emperor!”

With all three of the Embodiers kneeling, the others quickly followed.

The strongest to the weakest throughout the Underworld all knelt before Chu Kuangren.

The words ‘Underworld Ghost Emperor’ echoed across the Underworld.

After countless eras of not having a united ruler, the Underworld finally welcomed a new one — the Underworld Ghost Emperor, Chu Kuangren!

He had gained total control over one of the two worlds!

“Very well. High Priest, you are in charge from now on. I want to see a new Underworld city soon, and it must be the only Underworld city,” Chu Kuangren said.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Chu Kuangren did not have to worry about what happened next.

The High Priest and the other two Embodiers worked together to unite all three Underworld cities, bringing all the tribes and clans under the same banner.

Personal schemes from any person or force were trivial before absolute power.

Meanwhile, back in the Living World, a spatial crack opened up in an ancient mountain ridge.

A cloud of gray mist spread from the spatial crack and shrouded millions of kilometers of land.

The anomaly attracted the attention of many great ones.

“That’s Chaos qi!” cried one of the great ones.

“Chaos qi? Why would it appear in the Immortal World all of a sudden?”

“It’s the Chaos Fragment! Damn it! After all these years, I can’t believe Chaos Fragments still exist. How much more good stuff is hidden in there?”

Before the universe expanded, there was only chaos.

The Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao were nonexistent back then, but many treasures, great Opportunities of Fortune, and even ancient Chaos Celestial Demons were born from pure chaos.

Eons later, the Great Dao derived from pure chaos appeared, and the plans to develop the universe were set in motion. With that, Chaos dispersed, and the Chaos Celestial Demons fell, hence the current universe.

However, due to the sheer size of the universe, Chaos Fragments from the beginning of time were left behind, floating across the current universe and waiting to be discovered.

The spatial crack that appeared before the great ones was indeed a Chaos Fragment!

The news of the Chaos Fragment appearing spread like wildfire across the Immortal World. The sky-prides, especially the Peerless Prodigies, were eager to venture forth for more Opportunities of Fortune and treasures.

Back at the Demon Kingdom, Shi Tianxuan wielded the Godkiller Spear tightly as he stared at the ancient Chaos Fragment. A hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

“There must be great Opportunities of Fortune hidden in the Chaos Fragment. It can aid me in breaking through to the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm.”

His eagerness grew restless.

Chu Kuangren had disappeared from the Living World for some time now, and based on his intelligence network, Chu Kuangren seemed to have ventured down into the Underworld.

In other words, Chu Kuangren might not be exploring the Chaos Fragment, so it would be a great chance for Shi Tianxuan. If he could seize an Opportunity of Fortune, he might be able to surpass Chu Kuangren!

“I have to gather whatever Opportunity of Fortune in the Chaos Fragment before Chu Kuangren comes back.”

In fact, not only Shi Tianxuan, but many other top Prodigies or Peerless Prodigies also shared the same thought.

At the Heavenly Golden Crow Mountain, the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather looked in the direction of the Chaos Fragment with a grin. “Chaos Fragment, eh? Interesting. I can search for Opportunities of Fortune there and test my current strength.”

Ever since he merged with the Golden Crow Daoist embryo, his cultivation level had improved.

In the past twenty years, he had been in close-door meditation and hiding from the public’s eye. He did not even fight for the Immortal Ranking, but he believed he had become as strong as Long Xuan, the one ranked first.

Hence, exploring the Chaos Fragment would be a great chance for him to make a name for himself.

…

On the other hand, in the Human Emperor Sect, Xuanyuan’s successor also noticed the appearance of the Chaos Fragment.

He wielded the Xuanyuan Sword and had a golden sword qi circulating him while a terrifying aura exuded from his body.

“The Chaos Fragment will be a great chance for me to break through to become an Arch Gilded Immortal!”

Swoosh!

A stream of light arrived before him.

Then, a beautiful lady in a colorful dress emerged. She had fair skin, silky hair that draped over her shoulders, a voluptuous figure, and a stoic expression. She even emanated a dignified aura that trumped that of Xuanyuan’s successor.

She was the other hidden Prodigy of the Human Emperor Sect.

“Wahuang’s successor, Hua Xi, are you going to the Chaos Fragment as well?” Xuanyuan’s successor narrowed his eyes on the woman.

Hua Xi nodded. She said, “The Opportunities of Fortune there are considered great. This should be a great time for us to make our entrance.”

“Oh? Us? Is he coming out as well?” Xuanyuan’s successor raised a brow.

“No. He doesn’t want to come out now. I am referring to the other Peerless Prodigy. They are going restless,” Xua Xi said.

…

Deep inside the Immortal Hall, a man in golden robes opened his eyes, and a streak of golden light shot out from his eyes.

His condescending and prestigious aura felt like it trumped all life.

“The Chaos Fragment is here. It seems like I should show myself to the world now.”

He was the strongest Prodigy of the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall, Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist.

The appearance of the Chaos Fragment garnered the attention of all the Prodigies and even the hidden Matchless Prodigies.

A storm was brewing in the Living World.
