1797 The Heavenly Will Leaderboard, Huge Commotion Throughout the Immortal World, He Will Ignite a Firestorm With His Return

Outside the Immortal World, at the Southern Heavenly Gate, the nine hundred and ninety-nine white jade dragon and phoenix pillars had never trembled at once for dozens of years.

However, on that very day, nine hundred and ninety-nine dragons and phoenixes soared into the skies altogether. The auspicious Immortal Sparks from that conjuration spread in all directions, illuminating the dark universe!

Besides the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Eastern, Western, and Northern Heavenly Gates lit up with Immortal Sparks like never before the moment Chu Kuangren stepped foot into the Southern Heavenly Gate. The light emitted was seemingly endless, and it eventually attracted the attention of the great ones in the universe.

“Something is happening at the Immortal World’s Four Heavenly Gates!”

“There hasn’t been a commotion like this for many years. The last time it happened was because of Chu Kuangren”

“Wait a minute Chu Kuangren, huh? I’m starting to have a bad feeling about this.”

Some of the great ones seemed to have thought of something.

Recently, rumors about Chu Kuangren’s return had suddenly spread all over the universe.

Now, even the Immortal World’s Four Heavenly Gates were acting strangely.

The Immortal Consciousnesses of the great ones flowed out toward the Four Heavenly Gates, where they saw Chu Kuangren and Gu Linglong at the Southern Heavenly Gate.

They did not recognize who Gu Linglong was.

However, they could not be more familiar when it came to Chu Kuangren.

“He’s back!”

“F*ck. To think he came back just when the Battle of Heavenly Champions is reaching its end. What a surprise indeed.”

His return startled many people.

Meanwhile, inside the Immortal World, thousands of divine light beams swirled in a magnificent palace, and a pillar of light shot straight up into the sky.

Many were attracted by the commotion.

“What’s the matter? Why is the Heavenly Will Pavilion suddenly reacting like that?”

“Could something have changed in the Battle of Heavenly Champions?”

The Heavenly Will Temple was a mysterious location that appeared in recent years and was closely related to the Battle of Heavenly Champions. One could even say that it served a role akin to the will of the Immortal World’s spokesperson.

Inside that temple, a leaderboard ranking was displayed.

That leaderboard was known as the Heavenly Will Leaderboard.

Those listed on the leaderboard were all Heavenly Champions who possessed the wills of the Immortal World.

These Heavenly Champions were Prodigies and sky-prides who managed to reach the final stage of the Battle of Heavenly Champions. In total, seventy-two cultivators made it.

They were known as the seventy-two Immortal Prides!

If nothing went wrong, the Immortal World’s Ruler would appear from those seven-two individuals.

On that very day, a strange commotion occurred at the Heavenly Will Temple.

As the pillar of light rose into the sky, a gigantic leaderboard appeared.

Following that, the names of the seventy-two Immortal Prides appeared one after another without a ranking.

However, what surprised everyone was something else.

It was the addition of a new name to that leaderboard today!

It was a name that shocked everyone and horrified some of them Chu Kuangren!

“W-What’s going on here?!

A sky-pride could not help but stutter with shock.

The others were also stunned and speechless by the sudden appearance of that name.

“Chu Kuangren. Isn’t he dead?”

“How can he still be alive? What’s going on?”

“We all saw him die in the Void Annihilation Formation in the universe-connecting portal back then. Even an Embodier might not survive under that tremendous amount of energy. How did he do it?”

The entire Immortal World was in a great uproar because of that name.

The impression left by the name “Chu Kuangren” was simply that tremendous!

Even though dozens of years had passed, when the name appeared, everyone could not help but recall the man’s legendary feats and accomplishments

That white-robed cultivator was the nightmare of both sky-prides and Prodigies!

Inside the Human Emperor Sect, Xuanyuan’s Successor opened his eyes and stared at the Heavenly Will Leaderboard in the sky. Disbelief was written all over his face.

“Chu Kuangren. He’s still alive!”

“He’s still alive Still alive, huh?” Xuanyuan’s Successor tightened his grip on his Xuanyuan Sword and started trembling uncontrollably.

He then let out a long roar, releasing a chilling burst of sword qi into the skies!

His sword shadow swung downward and slashed open a huge mountain.

The mountain crumbled and split in half. After venting his anger, Xuanyuan’s Successor smiled. “So, you’re still alive, huh? This is wonderful news indeed! The Human Emperor is still alive! This time, I’ll take the Human Emperor’s fate from you no matter the cost!”

Although dozens of years had passed, he still had not given up on becoming the Human Emperor.

It had almost become an obsession at that point.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Human Emperor Sect, Nuwa’s Successor, Hua Xi, was at the top of a mountain, looking at the leaderboard in the sky and pondering.

“Chu Kuangren He’s not dead.”

“If he’s still alive, there will surely be a change in the Battle of Heavenly Champions’ outcome. Not only will it be an unprecedented change, but it will also be big.”

Chu Kuangren’s reputation was just too great.

Dozens of years ago, he single-handedly overshadowed every sky-pride in the Immortal World with his peerless feats, forcing them to live in his shadow.

Now that he had appeared again, everyone was most eager to find out how powerful he had become.

“It looks like we’ll have to speed up collecting the Ten Great Godly Weapons. Out of the ten, the Human Emperor Sect possesses three, namely the Xuanyuan Sword, Nuwa Stone, and Shennong Cauldron. The Eastern Sovereign Bell is now in the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist’s possession, while the Ji clan is guarding the Kongtong Seal. The Kunlun Mirror used to be in Lan Yu’s possession but was stolen later by the Heavenly Spirit Restricted Area’s Shi Jiuqiao ”

No matter how Hua Xi thought about it, she felt that the item that was the trickiest to obtain would be Chu Kuangren’s Fuxi’s Guqin.

“Should we deal with Chu Kuangren first?” Hua Xi mumbled.

Meanwhile, somewhere inside the Soul Restricted Area, a woman in long blue robes opened her eyes. She was surrounded by countless ferocious ghouls shrieking and howling into the sky.

That woman was Lan Haifang.

She looked into the sky with extreme hatred. “Chu Kuangren, I can’t believe you’re still alive. It looks like the Heavens are on my side this time, creating a chance for me to slice you into pieces myself!”

She was once fooled by Chu Kuangren, and it allowed him to cause great chaos in the Soul Restricted Area.

She was almost made the worst criminal in the history of the Soul Restricted Area.

However, she converted her hatred for Chu Kuangren into strength. It enabled her to withstand countless trials and tribulations, and her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

She even sought to quench her soul with countless ghouls!

Since then, she had become the Restricted Area’s Young Overlord. Her strengths were now beyond comparison to the old her back in the day!

She would certainly find Chu Kuangren to get revenge for the humiliation he brought upon her!

Inside the Immortal Hall, the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist did not know how to react to the news. Chu Kuangren’s reappearance had dug up many unbearable memories of the past that he had buried inside him.

The humiliation and disgrace he suffered at Chu Kuangren’s hands were now fresh in his mind again!

“Chu Kuangren You’re still alive!”

“Perhaps this is the will of the Heavens itself! It’s Heaven’s will that you die at my hand! Besides, I’m now far stronger than ever before!”

His cultivation was not only in the Five Qi Arch Gilded Immortal Realm, but he was also close to becoming a Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal.

He even obtained a great item like the Eastern Sovereign’s Bell!

He believed that the next time he encountered Chu Kuangren in battle, he would not be humiliated as he did the last time.

At that moment, the Great Arbiter Divine Maiden beside him was also looking at Chu Kuangren’s name in the sky. She felt a dull pain from the Spirit Expulsion Cursing Seal inside her mind.

‘He’s really back’

‘Just as I thought.’

‘He’s not dead.’

The Great Arbiter Divine Maiden sighed helplessly.

Everyone thought that Chu Kuangren was dead. However, she noticed that the Spirit Expulsion Cursing Seal inside her mind had not disappeared throughout the years, so she suspected he was still alive.

On that very day, the entire Immortal World was plunged into great unrest due to the appearance of one man’s name.

Those who hated and adored Chu Kuangren were emotionally shaken to their core. Everyone understood the same thing: since that person had returned, there was no way he would stand by and do nothing.

He would certainly ignite a firestorm with his return.

As for what kind of storm he was about to cause, only time could tell. However, everyone would definitely be paying attention to it.
