Chapter 753: The Blood Tribe Is Not Destroyed Yet, I Can’t Slack Off, an Angry Chu Kuangren

“Brother Chu! You really are amazing!”

The Bull Demon Daoist Celestial said as he walked up to Chu Kuangren.

The other Daoist Celestials looked at Chu Kuangren, stunned. A Heavenly Imperial killing a Daoist Celestial? This was their first time hearing of this.

The talents and strength Chu Kuangren had displayed were just too remarkable.

“Let’s leave this place.”

…

Meanwhile, on a certain planet.

A terrifying burst of energy erupted, instantly destroying all of the plants and trees on that planet as if a world-ending storm was here.

Countless leaves, shattered rocks, and dust were brought up into the air.

The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial was furious. “D*mn it! F*cking d*mn it! How can Chu Kuangren kill a Daoist Celestial?!”

He could not believe it.

Due to this, he became more desperate to eradicate Chu Kuangren.

Besides the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial, the other Blood Kings also came to their senses upon returning to the Blood Tribe’s headquarters.

“That’s not right. Chu Kuangren isn’t as powerful as we thought. Otherwise, why would it take him so long to fight King Bai?!”

“If that’s the case, why isn’t there a single injury on him?”

“He probably used some sort of healing item.”

The Blood Kings’ expressions turned grim.

Only then did they realize that they had been tricked by Chu Kuangren.

However, even if Chu Kuangren did not fool them, they had no other choice but to retreat in that situation. Other than Chu Kuangren, the Transcendental Daoist Celestial and others were there waiting to attack, too.

“With King Bai dead, what should we do now?”

One of the Blood Kings asked in a low tone.

“We must get rid of Chu Kuangren as soon as possible. If he’s not dead, this war will never end in our favor, for his existence will threaten the future of the Blood Tribe.”

The Argent King said with a determined look, “I’ve decided to activate the Blood Abyss to destroy the Firmament Star’s defenses and Chu Kuangren!”

The Blood Kings’ expression changed.

“The Blood Abyss?!”

“Activating the Blood Abyss will use up at least half of the existing resources on Blood Origin Star. If we don’t succeed, Blood Origin Star will not be able to launch any full-scale battles for a whole era. Are we really doing this?”

“If we don’t, are we simply going to stand and watch as Chu Kuangren grows stronger? Besides, activating the Blood Abyss has always been a part of our plans. We’re only activating it a few eras ahead of schedule, that’s all.”

“Hm… Let’s have a vote on this.”

The remaining twelve Blood Kings held a round of voting to decide whether to activate the Blood Abyss or not. Ultimately, all twelve of them voted to do it!

Everyone was in agreement to activate the Blood Abyss!

After losing a Daoist Celestial, the Blood Kings finally saw the true extent of Chu Kuangren’s capabilities. If they do not kill him now, Chu Kuangren would certainly become the Blood Tribe’s most terrifying enemy as time goes by.

They must kill him as soon as possible!

Even if they had to pay a great price to activate the Blood Abyss, they would not hesitate!

“Let’s start making preparations then!”

…

Firmament Star, inside Stronghold Seventeen.

Chu Kuangren brought Shang Honghua and the others safely back home with him.

“I’m very grateful for you, Brother Chu!”

The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade said as he bowed in respect.

“Don’t mention it.”

“I’m ashamed of myself. It was my savior who recommended you to me, and as your host, I was supposed to treat you the best I could. But I can’t believe I’ve caused you so much trouble time after time,” the Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade said with shame.

Chu Kuangren waved his hand and replied, “Commodore, everyone is doing their part in the battle for Firmament Star. As long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll be glad to provide as much help as I can, so there’s no need to mention it. Everything is all good.”

“Haha, having you at our side is really a blessing for us and the Firmament Star!”

After that, they chatted for a while.

However, the Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade soon noticed that something was amiss.

Shang Honghua had been sitting beside them quietly, occasionally staring on the ground in a daze. She did not speak at all.

The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade also looked at the ground, but there was nothing to look at.

‘Is she still in shock??’

“Hua’er, everything is alright now.”

The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade tried to console her.

Shang Honghua came back to her senses when she heard his voice. She told him, “Grandfather, he’s dead.”

“Who?”

“The Heavenly Imperial who killed mom and dad is… dead.”

Shang Honghua said.

“What happened?” The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade’s expression shifted a little.

Shang Honghua then told him everything that happened.

For decades, she had been living and working hard to become stronger for the sake of avenging her parents. However, that person was now dead.

Yet, she was not the one who killed him.

Although she regretted not being the one to kill him, her parents’ deaths had been avenged. That fact alone suddenly made her feel very empty inside.

It was as if her motivation to live had disappeared.

“Hua’er, now that he’s already dead, you don’t have to live with such burdens anymore.” The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade consoled her.

“No. Although my parents’ deaths have been avenged, the Blood Tribe still exists. This means that their threat to the Firmament Star has not been removed. I must not slack off!” Seemingly having found a new goal, Shang Honghua’s eyes suddenly filled with determination.

The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade sighed helplessly.

He knew that it would be hard for Shang Honghua to relax. After all, her way of living was not the same as others.

Perhaps that was why she could grow strong so quickly.

Chu Kuangren looked at Shang Honghua with admiration.

He actually admired her quite a lot.

“I shall leave you to your matters, commodore,” Chu Kuangren said.

“Sure. I still have to take care of the war matters at hand too, so I’ll see you another day, Brother Chu.”

After leaving Stronghold Seventeen, Chu Kuangren arrived at Stronghold Thirty-One and obtained a bundle of resources from Luo Shui.

Considering that his battle with the Daoist Celestial had exhausted his energy greatly, it would take him around five or six days to recover his full strength.

If it were anyone else, it might take them longer than a year to do so.

Two days later.

After absorbing a pile of Supreme Elixirs and spiritual marrows, Chu Kuangren was now close to a full recovery. Hence, he started to sort through the items and treasures he had gained from the battle. Besides killing King Bai, his most important treasure was obtaining his opponent’s gigantic axe.

It was a Daoist Weapon.

Besides, it was a Daoist Weapon with higher quality compared to the Isolation Sealing Insignia.

“I feel sad for my Descendant Self Sword.”

Chu Kuangren took out his Descendant Self Sword and brushed his fingers across the cracks on it. A look of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

This Descendant Self Sword had been by his side ever since he started venturing into this world. It was his most important partner in battle until this very day.

To him, no Daoist Weapon could compare to his Descendant Self Sword.

No. Not to mention Daoist Weapons, he would never trade it even for an Immortal Weapon.

Yet, King Bai had cracked his sword.

At this thought, he wished he could kill King Bai dozens of times over. The axe was also an eyesore.

“Stupid axe.”

He lifted that axe with his feet and kicked it across the room.

“Are you… venting your anger?”

Luo Shui was walking up to him when that happened. She dodged the flying axe and looked at Chu Kuangren in surprise.

She had never seen him angry before.

All this time, Chu Kuangren has given everyone a sense of calmness and security on the battlefield. She had never once seen him lose control of his emotions before.

“Yeah, kind of.”

Chu Kuangren took a deep breath and replied calmly.

Then, he put his Descendant Self Sword away.

With her sharp gaze, Luo Shui picked up the crack on his Descendant Self Sword. “Are you troubled about your sword’s condition?”

“Yeah.”

“I remember that among the twenty-four Daoist Celestials, the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial is well-versed in weaponsmithing. Perhaps he can help you with this.”

Luo Shui said.

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.

“The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial… Do you know where he is?”

“I’ll ask for you.”

Luo Shui then contacted the Transcendental Daoist Celestial.
