Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws
chapter-1786

After meeting up with Ling Hua, Chu Kuangren found an ancient planet to refine his newly gained Innate Five Elemental Flags.

The flags were made from the Chaos Green Lotus, so it was extremely useful to him.

Several months later, a fleet of warships arrived near the ancient planet. Lasers shot across space as they were fired at each other.

Explosions echoed across the universe.

On one of the warships, a woman wielding a red lance was staring at a bunch of armored cultivators in front of her.

"Luo Shui, give up. You've lost," said the leading man in front of Luo Shui.

As he raised his hand, a terrifying aura blasted forward, carrying the might of heaven and striking fear into people's hearts.

"As the Firmament Empire's general, I would rather die in battle than surrender to our enemies. If you want a fight, I will give you a fight."

Luo Shui wielded her lance and channeled her Immortal's Core energy. A blast of terrifying energy was released like a torrent, scaring her opponents away.

"If you insist, I will send you to meet your maker," the man said and grunted coldly. Another blast of energy was released to counter Luo Shui's aura.

Luo Shui swept her lance forward, but a palm attack forced her backward.

The difference in strength was too great. The man was a Peak Gilded Immortal, whereas Luo Shui was just a Third-grade True Immortal.

"From today onwards, the Firmament Empire will lose one of its generals."

"The Thirteen Firmament Generals and the thousands of soldiers in the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army are invincible. My death will not impact them." Luo Shui grinned.

The man's expression turned sour when he heard her words.

She was telling the truth.

The Firmament Empire had risen to power rapidly in recent years, and it seemed to be supported by a mysterious power. In just a few decades, it became a force to be reckoned with in the universe, and it had more than a thousand galaxies under its command.

Even the ancient orthodoxy like the Heavenly Dao Sect was forced to take them seriously.

"Hmph! Luo Shui, I know what's going on within the Firmament Empire. The Firmament Empire's strongest support is the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army, and those thousand Gilded Immortals were the ones who brought the empire to its current status today. However, a decade ago, the Divine Shadow Army went into a deep slumber and could not wake up.

"As for the Thirteen Firmament Generals, no matter how strong they are, they're just Gilded Immortals. They're no match for the Heavenly Dao Sect," the man said.

Luo Shui's expression turned bitter, and it fueled the man's delight. "I've done my homework. The reason why the Firmament Empire rose to prominence so quickly is because of Chu Kuangren. Now that Chu Kuangren is dead, his followers are held back by other forces in the Immortal World and can't come back to help the empire. You're destined to lose!"

The man could not help but exclaim, "Chu Kuangren used to dominate the universe, and he alone could support the rise of an entire empire. He was the one who pushed the Firmament Empire into the public's eye and made it one of the strongest forces in the universe. If he were still alive, I would like to meet him."

"You're not worthy of talking to the King," Luo Shui scoffed. "Based on what I know, our King killed the Heavenly Dao Sect's eight Divine Daoists, so what are you to us?"

"Hmph! No matter how powerful he is, he's dead! Now, his empire shall follow!"

The man raised his hand and signaled his men to attack.

The battle continued.

The remaining soldiers of the Firmament Empire were forced into a desperate situation as their numbers greatly decreased. Even Luo Shui's power was halved. She looked pale and had sustained severe injuries.

Bang!

The man threw a punch to blast Luo Shui away, smashing her onto a planet.

The warships then turned their cannons at the planet and fired non-stop at where Luo Shui crashed.

"Fire!"

A barrage of lasers was instantly fired at their target.

"Is this the end?" Luo Shui muttered.

Suddenly, she thought of the figure in white.

The man who helped Firmament Star to rise to prominence, the greatest King of the planet in history, but everyone said he had died in the Immortal World.

She refused to believe it because the King would never lose and he was unkillable.

If the King was not dead, where would he be now?

Luo Shui was consumed by her thoughts as countless lasers were fired at her face. All it took was one more moment, and the lasers would obliterate her.

Then, a mystical flower bloomed in space. Its petals danced around and mitigated all the incoming lasers from the warships.

"What's going on?" Luo Shui was somewhat surprised.

The beautiful flower floated in space, and an adorable girl was lying in the center of it.

The girl looked nonchalant, and her fair skin was alluring.

All it took was a glance for the cultivators to fall for her charms. With their inner desires revealed, they took over their sanity.

"No!"

"Something is wrong with this flower!"

The face of the Heavenly Dao Sect's leading man sank. Then, he steadied his Daoist core, and the jade talisman at his waist glowed.

It was the jade talisman that enabled him to steady his Daoist core.

As for the others, they all fell into the vortex of desire. Their blood, bones, and even soul disintegrated into light particles and were absorbed into the strange flower.

"Is that the Desire Flower?"

The man remembered reading about it from an ancient archive that explained everything about the Desire Flower.

The Desire Flower was the manifestation of Desire, the root of all evil. It was also one of the biggest calamities in the world.

Why would the Desire Flower appear here?

The man was confused but knew he was no match for the Desire Flower, so he immediately left.

The Desire Flower did not care about him as she was busy absorbing the desires of the other cultivators.

"I just woke up to a great appetizer. Not bad." The Desire Flower stretched her arms.

Further away, Luo Shuoi saw what happened, and it shocked her. Her eyes were gleaming with fear.

"I heard you talking about Chu Kuangren. Are you one of his followers?" the Desire Flower asked Luo Shui.

"You know the King?"

"King? Uh… Yeah, there's a girl who called him that. I guess you're one of his people," the Desire Flower said. The girl she was referring to was Shang Honghua.

"Who are you to the King? Where is he now?" Luo Shui asked excitedly.

"You ask too many questions at once."

"I'm sorry, Senior. Can you tell me where my King is?"

"He's far but near."

Luo Shui could not understand what the Desire Flower said. Could the King be nearby?

She looked at the ancient planet behind her and pondered. She then went inside and started to explore the place.

However, after a few days of scouring every corner of the planet, she did not find Chu Kuangren.

"Are you trying to find him? Fool," the Desire Flower said with a scoff as she watched Luo Shuo make a fool of herself.

Chu Kuangren was indeed on the planet refining the Innate Five Elemental Flags, but with his level of restriction seals, there was no way Luo Shui could locate him based on her cultivation level.

The ancient planet trembled.

A green arc-shaped light rippled in the air and scattered outward from a certain part of the planet.
